High School Notes.
The Bible Department of the
High School.

- HAtio ANfAAAhpbh was plkahlAoA
last year in cur high school with Prof,
Robert H Boil as instructor. This
grand opportunity to study the Word Of
God was eagerly grasped by many Of
the students. One hundred twenty
we're enrolled during the year There
were classes In both the New and Old
Testaments. The entire years work
proved grand success, an honor both
to the man who ably and conscientious
ly guided The work, and 10 the man
whose generosity and desire to uplift
the moral ideals Of Lawrence
oounty's young people, gave 1t the
financial support that was necessary
for It's existence
The work this year was begun with
increased interest The enrolment
made leap to one hundred eighty over
last years enrolment of one hundred
twenty. We hope for more additions
in the future Prof. J. E. Tnornberry is
our instructor this year, Prof. Boil hay-
ing gone back TO Louisville, Kentucky
Prof. ThOrnberry is man of high cul-
ture and ia we'll yeised in the Bible
There are four classes daily in the
Bible. The Glass studying the Old
Testament bsgau at Joshua, as the pre-
vious yta''o no.k had begun at Genesis
aud reached to Joshua. This class will
soon have completed the book of Second
Samuel. These books are mostly his
tOrical and are extremely interesting.
They a.. 90 full of great moral les
sons.
The New Testament class was 80
large that it was necessary to divide ii
into two CLASSES, reCiting atdiferent
periods, They began with Luke and
have completed Luke and james, and
are nearly through Galatians. They
will finish Galatians and study Romans,
First Corinthians and Ephesians before
the end of the term.
The other class in the grades have
Completed Matthew and are now study
ing John. By the end Of the term they
will have completed the entire foul
books of the Gospel; Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John.
Each of the four Bible classes recitG
at different periods during the day
This enables any student to enter al
least one of them, without conflicting
with his regular school. The Bibl'
examination grades can also be averaged
in with the examination grades on regu
lar school studies. This alone hai
saved more than one pupil from failure
This does not mean that Bible students
are favored with high grades undeser-
vedly. Strict daily and examination
grades are kept of all the Bible classe
and the students get exactly what the
make, nothing more nor less, But W
students appreciate the great opportuni
ty that is 10 nobly given us, and al
strive to make our Bible grade th
highest grade on our report cards. W
realize the great Importance it is t
study the Bible, for We know tbs
Books may come and books may &c
but 1t goes ON forever"
The Bible in this school is taugf
strictly non sectarian. The student
are not urged to believe any certai
creed. An difficult questions al
thoroughly discussed in class, and re
liable reference books and maps al
consulted Our sole aim is to seek Il
real truth. We have feeling of grad
itude for him who makes this graz
opportunity available to us, and by II
aid Of God we will make the most Of |
