The Mortified Schools at their Win.
ter Work.

Mortified Seminary. of which
Miss f. S Hall is principal, and the
Mortified Bible Training School, of which
Rev. c. l. SCofeld. u. D., is president.
have both opened their winter terms with
a full quota of students. The accom-
modations at the Seminary are taxed to
their utmost, and there are in attendance
at the Training School the largest num-
Der in its history. Owing to i'll health
brought on by overwork, DR.. Scofed has
been compelled to take a months rest at
Clifton Springs. In place of his teach
ing and lectures Rev w. j. Erdman.
d. D., of Germantown. Pa, is to take his
place until about February first, when
Dr. Scofeld expects to resume his work.
The Mortified schools seek by Of
fering an education within the means of
all, to help young men and women to
help themselves. Many are the cases of
young men and women who find it very
difficult to meet even the nominal charge
for board and tuition, and who would
not be able to secure an education were 1t
not for Mortified and the friends of
these schools, who make 1t possible to
extend the help they do AS the work
increases the needs grow. for which the
trustees of this work depend upon the
voluntary offerings of friends who sym
pathize with these young people and de-
sire to help them.
