! icals, who are practically Congregation

Ponape, one of the Caroline group, states

School at Ponape.
Dwight L. Moody has decided upon
| founding several additional Bible sum-
| mer schools, to accommodate those who
cannot leave their homes to go to exist
ing ones. These schools are to be To-
Gated in large cities, and to be modelled
| after the Chicago Bible Institute. The
| cities have not all been selected, but some
of them are ST. Louis, St. Paul, Indian
| apolis, Detroit, Pittsburg and Washing
| ton. The Rev. Alexander Patterson, and
| the instructors and seniors in the Chicago
Institute will go to these centres and
| conduct classes, it being held that more
persons can be reached by sending in
| structors to them than by asking them
\ to go to Chicago and Northfield. The
| synthetic system will be employed, and
! instruction will be free.
