Offers exceptional opportunities to
young men wishing to prepare for the
Christian ministry. The chief aim of
the instruction is to afford young men
and women a comprehensive knowI-
edge Of the English Bible and to i'm
plant in their hearts an ambition to
dedicate their lives to the elevation
and Christianizing of their race.
Students are required to do mission
ary work in the various churches and
Sunday Schools near the institution
and to report on same each week.
The teaching in the Bible school is
wholly undenominational, the inten-
tion being not to oppose or antagonize
any theological work now being done
but rather to assist III denominations
Phelps Hall is three stories high.
1t contains Chapel, Library, Reading
Room, Offices and three recitation
rooms, besides forty rooms for dormi-
tory purposes. Rev. Edgar J. Penny
The colored American., 1902-08-30

is in charge of the work, and is assist
ed by Rev. B. II. Peterson and Rev.
]. H. Gadson. A special course of lee
lures is given each year in the
Bible School by DR.. c. o. Boothe, of
Selma, Ala, Rev. George w. Clinton of
North Carolina, and DR.. H. T. Johnson
of Philadelphia. Other notables also
lecture from time to time.
The teaching is free. The cost of
board, including furnished rooms,
light, fuel and laundering, is Eight Dol
lars per month. Students are afforded
an opportunity to work out from Two
to Three Dollars of this amount per
month. In some cases, arrangements
can be made to work out the entire
sum. Lack of means need debar none.
