The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1909-01-22

Persons may join the club at any
time during the year, but must, OF
course, answer the SO questions
hereinafter explained, to qualify for
the prizes. 1t is, however, desirable
that the questions be answered as the
lessons are studied.
The International Newspaper Bible
Study Club is for the purpose of
promoting, in an unfettered way
among the masses, wider study Of
the Bible, the basal truths OF Chris
tianity, and the problems which en-
ter into every mans life. 1t is COM
posed of all those who join a local
club, and take up the simple course
herein outlined, barring only or
dained clergymen. We have the SYM
pathetic cooperation of the latter,
but it is not considered fair to have
them compete for the prizes. Sun
day school teachers, Bible class
scholars, and church-goers general
ly, may belong to this Newspaper
Club, also non-churchgoers, OF all
shades of opinion. All such who
have not joined are warmly invited
to do so and to compete for the
prizes.
This paper has secured the right
to publish the international Sunday
School Lesson questions by Rev. Dr.
Linscott, which have aroused SO
much interest elsewhere, and they
will appear weekly. One Of these
questions each week is to be answer
ed in writing, and upon these an
swers the prizes are to be awarded.
This paper is authorized to form a
local newspaper Bible study club for
it's readers and guarantees to all who
Join and fulfill the conditions that
everything herein promised shall be
faithfully carried out.
