~ tnt summer OF lyVO. IN the latter
part nf August a few of the Conereea-
tional ministers Of Oklahoma. met AZ
Carrier The object Of this meeting
was to help advance the interests OF
Bible study After careful delibera-
tion. they organized the Oklahoma
Summer Bible School association
The school has met each s6mmer for
a 10 days session. since its organiza.
tion. N;nedsLes is the permanent
place OF meeting because of its loca.
tion and because the college buildings
located there furnish the necessary ac.
conmodations. The college IS located
on the crest Of beautiful hin about
a mile east of Kinghsher. The rooms
in Parker han are used as class rooms:
and during ten days in August the
Billie is taught where during much Of
the rest Of the year mathematics, bi-
ology history. and languages are
taught. Rooms ia the other two build.
inss are rented at a nominal price to
those who attend from out Of town.
The location of the School at King
fisher is a singularly fortunate one.
Being some what apart from the towr.
a quiet seclusion is gained which
means much for delightful rest aud
Christian fellowship. The view from
the hill is beautiful The eye sweeps
a varied horizon from north through
the west to the south: and once every
twentv-four hours the sky is gIorihe i,
by the beauties Of an Oklahoma sun
mer sunset Always the cool breezes
blow over the hilltop keeping racl-
tation ard living rooms cheerfally
comfortable Indeed, the location is
such that to spend ten days there Is a
delightful vacation well worth white
aside from the instruction and fellow.
ship Of the Bible school Here is real
" a splendid opportunity for many
faithful ministers who cannot go far
away for a vacation. to spend a rest.
ful and uplifting ten days with their
faI1ilies az very slight cost.
The Oklahoma Summer Bible school
should appeal to every minister, aul
to many layman. throughout the ter
ritory as an opportunity not to be los.
or neglected. The vacation feature
the Christian fellowship; the biblical
instruction. all these should lay strong
hold on the desire and purpose of all
our ministers. Our ministers owe
this much to themselves and to their
churches, that they should lose no op-
portunity for becoming more learned
in the Scriptures or more edifod in
their religious life. Besides this, an.
other important duty should nos be
forgotten Oklahoma is young. the
work is undeyeloped; foundations are
being laid. A few have TO do the work
Of many. But by and by the many
will be working on the very fodnda
tions which the present few have laid
How important that these foundations
should be deep and widei How great
is the privilege Of thus being in the
advance guard
Chautau1ua had humble beginning
but now who shall measure its innu
ence for goodl Northfeld had small
beginning, but now it quickens the
prsle Of The kingdom both in this land
and abroad. Perhaps IL shall be the
high privilege Of Oklahoma Home Mis-
sionaries now to be laying the founda
+ tions Of Bible School whose intlu
once shall in coming years pass faI
out side our border lines. Our duty Is
not only 20 ourselves and our churches
hut to the future to ministers anC
churches yet to come
