BIG SUM E OFFERED
NEW YORK MEN TO GIVE ss5,oo0 TO
 BIBLE SCHOOL.
Atlanta Justification to Be, The Bene- flciary of Gift as Soon as Et Has
 Raised slOO,0OO Endowment Fund.

Atlanta. Ga., Oct, Especial. )-- Recognizing the value of the work pro- posed by the Atlanta Bible School. New York capitalists have given $35,000 to the endowment sum of that institution. [ ARSsoon as the S100, 000 endowment which the general conference of the church has provided for has been raised and the endowment can be sworn to by the president and the treasurer of the institution, the school can make sight draft on two New Workers for the sum of S35.000.,
 The story of the securing of the two donations. one for $25.ooo and one for s10 900, which make up this sum, is told by the business manager of the Bible School, Edward Clarke, in this manner:
 Northern capitalists never give to an institution with less than $100,000 endowment They do not. put their money into anything which is not a permanency, and they do not consider that less than a hundred thousand dol- lars endowment insures permanency.
 "Wtth the understanding, therefore, that. the institution raise $l00,000 to- ward it's endowment fund, I secured while in New York written promises for SIG, 900 and $25,000. If we had the S100,000, we could get~those amounts cash today"
 it will be recalled few months ago the Congregational Methodist Church, of which the Atlanta Bible School and Interstate College is the official insti- tuition, establish ed headquarters, in At fan4a, where 1t has founded a big pub fishing plant profits from which are to be applied to the endowment fund of the Bible School.
