have written several letters to
the REGISTER; some from Wash
ington and some from Texas, and
among all things and many won-
derful sights | have viewed in the
many thousands of miles travel, I
can say, from the bottom of my
heart, that the above picture af-
fords a view of one of the grandest
purposes ever launched for the ad-
vancement of the cause of Christ,
as we'll as to give many poor,
struggling boys and girls chance
to qualify themselves to meet the
demands of an unfriendly busy
world. The young man or woman
starting out without salvation is
not qualified to take the RESPONSE
bility of many positions. 1t mat
ters not how well their mental
faculties have been cultivated,
there is cry coming upon every
hand calling for Christian men and
women to fill high and noble po-
sitions. Jesus said, "seek ye first
the kingdom OF heaven" But, oh,
how sad to'see our young men and
women seeking everything but
something that is real and will
qualify them for heaven.
The above school has been thor
oughly organized and planned on
the interdenominational line. The
Bible will be recognized above all
books, and every student will be
required to own one and attend
all chapel services and be under
the rules of the school, no matter
how old or how young. Special
attention will be given to the
spirituality of the pupils. Ger
tainly God is blessing our efforts,
and l believe your children and
young men and women will go
home, after nine months in this
school, with greater conception
of the religion of Jesus Christ than
they ever had.
We have been very successful in
securing our president, matron and
teachers. We have nothing but
Christian teachers in the school.
The denomination is, no require
ment or qualification of the teach
or; we believe every one ought to
be Christian and be member
of some church. Our motto is to
educate the pupils to the glory OF
God, and send them out to fill
business positions and love God
with their whole heart, soul and
strength. Our president is from
Ruskin Carr College, Tenn, and
came to us highly recommended.
He has gotten out the work for
t907-08, school to commence Seps
tember IL, 1907. We have just re-
ceived the catalogue from the
REGISTER Office, and it is a
splendid job of printing. We
want to mail you one Of our books
giving the scheme of studies and
general instructions. Write me at
once if you are interested in this
work and contemplate sending
children to school.
1.-TWO years ago last January ]
gave my heart to God, under the
awful conviction Of my sinful life,
lost soul and wrecked home, on
accounto of my drinking; abroken- a
hearted wife and the sweetest lit
Tie girl, 7 years old, ever saw; an
aged gray -haired mother, who had
prayed and pleaded with God for
her wandering boy that had once
loved God and had backsliden,
and was going to hell at a rapid
speed. I wept my way to the altar
under an awful guilt Of sin and
confessed and asked pardon. II
opened the door when Jesus
knocked, and He came in, blessed
be His name, and forgave me Of
my sins; bloted them out Of the
book of remembrance, never to
be remembered against me any
more, and q few days laterI sought
His sanctifying grace and plead
