Presbyterian Bible Glass

At the beginning of this present
year Rev. J. e. Darling organized
a Bible Study class to take up a
synthetic study of the Bible. After
fully considering the matter, the
class decided instead to take up
the analytica study of the life of
Christ.
The new class has now made a
good beginning and is working sys-
tematically, and earnestly. Rev.
Darling assigns work each Sunday
for the following weeh's work, using
an outline that he has prepared
especially for this work. Each
member of the class must get the
lesson assigned by doing hard, in
dividual digging, working it out
by means of the references given in.
the outline. experimenting his own
subjects. When this is done each
student has a complete outline
which is original.
A part of the class hour each
Sunday is given to general dis
cussion of the work covered. Cues
are asked and answered and notes
are taken. These notes are after
wards added to the outline and are
filed in regular order.
AS yet the class is not a very
large one, but it is to be hoped that
large number of people who have
been wishing for chance to work
in class Of this kind will take this
opportunity to join.
The class roll is as follows: Mrs.
M. P. DeWolf, Kate Rosebaugh,
Phoebe Kinnear, Dolly Bruce Mrs.
K. L. Little, Theo Wright, Rev. J.
E. Darling, J. M. Robinson, Phil
Pratt and Bert Hall.
