THE BIBLE INSTITUTE.
Graduating Exercises Were of
Special Interest.

The special service rendered at the
city A. M. E. church Sunday, July IL,
was inspiring. Every speaker and
singer came spirit filed and was at
their post of duty and although the
program was long and the evening
very warm the interest never Jagged
The song service led by w. H. Prime
was inspiring, Miss Luella Franklin
presiding at the organ.
County President M. Hedge read
the 18th Chapter of Romans and led
in prayer. Rev. A. L. Fales spoke
briefly on "New Methods" and adj
monished us to put more preparation
and thought into our work, to be
more faithful, to appoint visiting
committee and when members were
absent visit them again and again
until brought back.
Mrs. s. G. Terrell gave the report
of the State Sunday School conven-
ton. Advanced steps had been taken
along many lines, that the outlook
was never more hopeful than now,
bringing back new cheer, new hope,
strongifaith and zeal for the Sunday
School OF our own coun4y.
Mrs. Fales spoke of "What She
Could Do to be the Most Service to
Him." She said first of all we should
be consecrated then we would not be
afraid what others would think would
never think of ourselves and would
be willing to do the little things for
Him. Mr.. Robinson spoke of the
Duties of Sunday School Teacher"
in an up-to-date and practical man
ner, impressing his hearers.
Rev. Slater spoke of the "Blood of
Christi and in the short time gave a
vivid description of our atonement,
showing in all he said he himself had
the Divine touch and love for human
ity.
Mrs. Kent in her queenly way inn
pressed her hearers of responsibility
that came not only to her but to all
alike, and that it was a continued eff
fort that will tell in the end.
Rev. Gilmore gave report of the
H street Sunday School. He said
"When they sang they tried to get
something for their soul, and when
they prayed they, tried to reach God,
and when they taught they tried to
teach as it was in Gods holy book"
His talk was very helpful and to the
point.
Mrs. P. ]. Prime then presented her
Bible Normal class with State Di-
plomas and spoke of the preparation

womanhood through the light of the
Gospel. The members of the class
were: Mrs. L. B. Scheduled, Mrs.
Jennie Jones, Mrs. L. P. Slater, w.
H. Prime. Clark Terrell then gave
the possibilities of every one being
systematic Bible scholar, that it was
a duty as well as a privilege to pre-
pare ourself to understand and teach
the word.
Mrs. Jennie Jones in very feeling
and impressive manner spoke of Mrs.
Primes labor for them as leader and
teacher. Saying, she always felt at
home when at Mrs. Primes and the
loving fellowship and spirit filed
service was always manifest with the
lessons, and in closing presented
Mrs. Prime with a token of love from
the ladies of the class.
Mrs. Emma Smith invoked Gods
blessing on the class and on the Sun
day School effort put forth. She
prayed earnestly and her prayer was
like the precious ointment upon the
head, and ran down upon the beard,
even Aaron's beard; that went down
to the skirts of his garment; as the
dew of Hermon and as the dew that
descended upon the mountains of
Zion"
