The Bible school is an old institu-
ton. Robert Raikes of Glouster, Eng
land, put the Bible school upon the
market in 1880. In 1888 he advocat-
ed the establishing Of Bible schools
everywhere. In 1875, in London, the
Society for Promoting Bible Schools
was organized At first the Bible
school had paid teachers, but volun-
tary teachers were soon introduced.
The instruction at first was largely
limited to lessons in reading. After
wards it included the memorizing of
Bible verses Gradually the plans and
methods expanded until a systematic
study of limited lessons was taken up
from week to week, with loose clas-
sification of scholars according to age
and attainment. This was the begin
ming of the well-graded, well-equipped
school of today. The Christian church
is justly proud of its Bible school.
We have fifteen classes, the school
is graded, the teachers are trained,
we have separate class rooms for
most of our classes, and plenty of lit
erature, etc. If you do not attend
Bible school elsewhere, we would be
glad to have you enroll with us. All
members of the church are especially
urged to send their children, and, if
possible, come themselves. Be on
time tomorrow
A cordial invitation is extended the
general public to worship with US.

Truth Is of interest to most persons
only in it's present relations. None
but few rare souls care for truth IN
abstract. and ASSOCIATED from time
and place Even historical truth has
its chief value as it is linked to the
present. The reason for the weekly
study of the Sunday school lesson by
twenty-five millions of persons is not
the desire to acquire certain amount
of historical data SO much as 1T Is to
obtain motive power for current con-
duct, and light upon contemporaneous
problems. The life depicted IN the ola
book is needed as a help for the lie
that is lived in this year 1909. FOR
three months the Sunday schools nave
been working in the Book of Acts, CON
sidering the beginnings OF Christianity
Now, at the end Of the quarter, they
pause for backward look.
The story unfolded in these nine
chapters is the story of an expanding
church. At once the observing reader
is struck by the parallel between TINS

tions in some mission lands. A per-

The Romance of Korea.
A mere handful of inconsiderable
persons held the foreground in the

They were like the apparently neg
ligible missionary force that has dared
to 60 up against entrenched error II
many lands. Yet as result Of thell
character and teaching and witness,

DOES 1T STRIKE YOU?
Needless Expense and Uncertainty OF
Buying in Eastern Stores is For
chilly Brought Home by
Elegant Displays.

There is no demonstration that
could be possibly made by the pro-
gressive business men and women OF
Ottumwa that would more forcibly
bring home the realization Of the met
ropolitan qualities OF this city's bust
ness institutions, than the display that
is on every hand right now, and will
be for the remainder of the week.
1t would be rather pitiful if hun
dred or so strong, successful and en-
ergetic business men would band
themselves together as they have done
here to force some weaker competitor,
or band of competitors, out of bust
ness. But that is far from the case.
It is the knowledge that there are hun
dreds of dollars spent annually in the
larger shops of the metropolitan
cities; and the realization that this
foreign expenditure Of Ottumwa
money is due largely to the ignorance
Of Ottumwa people, that is responsible
for this concerted display of merchan-
disc, Not only do scores of both
citizens and farmers living near OF
tumwa, do their buying from mail or
der houses, but many people add the
expense of railroad fare to the high
prices they pay for merchandise IN
Chicago and elsewhere. In the first
instance, the people must bear with
the uncertainty of purchasing before
seeing and in the latter instance,
they are not only out their railroad
fare, but they pay not one cent less
for their purchase than they would
pay for the exact articles here in OF,

THE NARROW GATE.
Terse Comments upon the Christian
Endeavor Topics for March q, "Pil-
grim's Progress Series. Ill. The
Wicket Gate" Matt. 7: IA.
BY WILLIAM r, ELLIS.

A man who had visited Korea re-
Gently said, 81 verify believe that it Is
harder to get into the Korean church
than it is to get into the Kingdom of
Heaven" He was making point OF
the strict examination which catechu-
mems must pass before they are ad-
mitted to membership in the body of
native believers. "The Korean church
has the narrowest door in Christian
DOM" This may account for the high
standard of Christian character re-
ported from Korea At first reading 1t
may seem strange that the wicket gate
in Pilgrims Progress should be repre-
scented as narrow; yet that is the
Scriptural figure also. Perhaps the
thought is that one must enter un-
encountered, leaving without all the
trappings and burdens of the worldly
life. Certainly salvation Is such a
prize that men should be willing to
prove their sincerity by making
earnest effort and real sacrifice in Or
der to attain it.
All gates to growth and greatness
are entered at some cost.
sS*
No one can enter the gate that leads
to life except by stopping.
Narrow though the wicket gate of
entrance upon the Christian life may
be, 1t is entered most easily by those
who are accompanied by other persons
whom they are leading.
After all has been said and written
about success" Is it not actually true
that the greatest of all doors Of op
portunity is the open wicket gate that
leads to the life eternal?
The way to God is plain, yet not
easy, for it is only they who car
stand tests by the wayside who are
fitted for Gods companionship.
There Is room in tbs strait and mar

Orient
Some Wonders Of Missions.
The conspicuous event in the early
church was Pentecost. This is
stumbling block to the materially
minded. Simply because spiritual
things are spiritually discerned," they
can find no parallel or rational expla-
nation for this supernatural endue-
ment of the infant church. Just so
recent events in India, China and
Korea have staggered observers. The
first equipment Of strong, growing
church must be a profound and mem
orable spiritual experience.
There have been in the growing
Christian community Of northern India
such manifestations of the presence of
the Divine Spirit as are almost too
strange to be told to Occidental ears.
I heard Bishop Warne, Methodist
Episcopal bishop of India. narrating
some experiences in the Indian revival
to great congregations at Ocean Grove
last summer. In conversation with him
afterward asked why he had not de-
SCTlDeu Gel TAIL pldSSS VI lily lCFiNdi
about which we had talked together in
India. He frankly admitted that the
EAmerican churches were scarcely able
to bear such testimony; their in
credulity would hinder the effect Of
his message. so he had to feed them
with milk, rather than with meat.
| Up in sordid, material unimagina-
tive Manchuria there Is at present in
progress a revival like unto nothing
which the western world knows.
Whole villages are gripped by
Whole power; strong men fall
PROSTATE and writhing. confessing
their sins and crying aloud for mercy.
Christians are being baptized with a
Consciousness Of peace and Joy which
sends them gladly out to neighboring
villages as evangels of their faith OF
like fashion, and even more extensive,
was the revival that began to sweep
over Korea two years ago, purifying
the native church, causing men to
bring forth fruits meet for repentance,
and confounding skeptics everywhere.
Inexplicable all this may be upon
grounds Of human reasoning, yet no
man ready to accept credible testi-
mony can doubt it. 1t is the infant
churchs Pentecost repeated; also, it
would seem to be in order that, like
the company of disciples of old, they
may be equipped for the propaganda
Of their faith.
