CLASSES FORMING
FOR BIBLE STUDY
What Has Been Done in That Way
and is Projected in the Y. M. c. A.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Bible classes will be organized at
once. Ten or a dozen classes will be
formed for men, to be held in the
building There will be special classes
for gymnasium men, dormitOry men in
Bible history, Young Mems mission
studies, teachers training association.
and a class for beginners in Bible
study, and one large popular class for
men that will take up the topic of the
social teachings of Jesus. The leaders
for the classes have not all been Sc
lected as yet. but soon will be. and the
Bible study committee desires to en-
phasize the fact that any man. wheth-
er a member of the association or not,
who wishes to take up any line of
Bible study whatever. will be more
than welcome There is no fee to be
charged for this class of work The
only expense attached will be for the
text books, and that is a very nominal
charge
Members of he association and their
friends are asked to keep in mind the
lucky day-Friday, October 13th-for
that is the day when the grand opening
for the fall work will take place. A
program Of gymnastic work. and mu-
sic and refreshments is being prepared
The building will be lighted from top
to bottom on that evening and there
will be a reception committee on hand
to show the building as we'll as to ex-
plain the various features of the work
which will be carried on during the
fall and winter.
The interest in the Gaebelein Bibla
lectures. under the auspices Of the
Young Mems Christian Association is
increasing with each meeting There
were a large number more OF men at
the noon luncheon yesterday than the
day before, and most of the men were
present that were at the Monday lun-
cheOn. Those who do not come are
missing a rare treat DR. Gabelein has
shown himself to be a man Of unusual
attainments in Bible knowledge, and
has the keenest insight into things
spiritual Of any man who has appeared
in Phoenix for many years. To sit and
listen TO him for one hour is an edu-
cation for any one. His lectures are

dispelling He takes a keen interest
also in meeting people personally and
talking with them conce
things which are not clear to their
minds He sticks strictly TO the Bible
and is a firm believer in it's infallibili-
ty No doubt there will be many who
hear him this evening who have not
heard him before but they have mis-
sed more than they think, because his
addresses are consecutive in order.
leading up TO the eliminating point I'm
his last address on Friday evening
when he will give his matChless ser
mon on the subject Behold, the Bride
groom Cometh" His addresses on the
roof garden to the men of the city have
been along the line of the work OF
Christ. and they are a revelation even
to those who have been Christians for
years. Many are expressing their re-
great that the Doctor could not keep on
with his work here in Phoenix for at
least a month. and there is no doubt
he will receive n hearty welcome
should he desire to return at any time.
Those who have not heard him as yet
should not fail to atent the remaining
meetings The meetings at the Cen
trail Methodist church are open TO all
