L. Kelly delivered lecture on "The
Friends Bible School, He said I
wish as Friend we might have a BIZ
BILE school little in advance Of any
at the present time
All the things that I say may not
be practicable to put llto all of your
schools at the present time. Tt is time
that we should improve our Bible
schools. The Friends have been peo-
pie of educational activity and the
Bible school has been one of the prin-
cipal schools of the Friends. These
schools have placed the Friends IN a
more than average knowledge of the
Bible. >
The time has come when we must
make an advance in our Bible schools.
The time is ripe to make this system
attic advancement and we have not
done this. We might accomplish this
By systematic regulation of these
schools.
Lack of discipline and inferior
teachings are among the drawbacks to
our Bible school,
Construction Of Friends churches is
such as to hinder Bible study.
AS a people we have neglected art,
but our children are not. They are
getting THIS in the day school. How
they might drink this teaching if the
instinct of art were only developed.
We are not giving as much atten-
ton as we ought to our Bible school
teachers.
Such men as - Starbuck are
writing a number of books on tlA,
subject of child development.
We recognize there are three stages
in our lives. The childhood that of
youth, a period of doubts and then
the adult life. Our present idea of
uniform lessons for all ages are some
thing that are holding back our best
advancement. [ plead for graded les
sons. For a course of study that will
meet the religious crisis of all ages
in our lives.
