THE bible IS
THE BOOK OF BOOKS
The Importance Of Its Study
Fastened Upon People in
Last Decade.
NO BOOK REQUIRES MORE STUDY.
Its Great Doctrines Demand it,
College Ave. Baptist Church Forms
Two Bible Classes.

Inc importance or study or the
Bible has fastened itself upon our peo-
pie during the last decade. We are
realizing that our national greatness
was attained and today rests upon the
Bible and this country of liberty is
such because of the Bible.
1t goes without saying that every
Christian should read the Bible, but
reading the Bible will not put one in
possession of its contents. No book,
not Shakespeare, not Browning-de-
mands more careful study to possess
an intelligent understanding than the
Bible. The true relation of one part
to the other, and the proper interure-
tation of the great doctrines demand
careful study. The Sunday-school at
one time was planned for the enter
tainment and instruction of the chill
dren. Fortunately, that idea has been
relegated to the junk heap. All Sun
day-school workers today are recog-
niZing that the Sunday-school service
is the fetching service of the church.
Thus our schools have been graded to
meet the needs of each age, and out of
this has come the adult Bible Glass
movement. Our Bible classes are now
organized with a special work assign
ed to each member of the class. Each
class elects it's president, secretary
and other officers, and appoints its
committees, and feel responcible for
the success or failure of the class.
TIL College Avenue Baptist Church
has organized two Bible classes, one
for men the other for women. These
classes are for the study of the Word
of God, and will be conducted along
recognized psychological principles
The socratic method of asking and
answering questions will be used. The
old lecture system will have no part in
the instruction; that system is finding
no favor except in our university
work. Our men and women hear sew
eral sermons each week, and then
when examined as to their knowledge
of the Bible portray dense ignorance.
Thus these Bible classes will not have
sermons. We meet to study. There
is as much differences between listen
ing to lecture on the Sunday-school
lesson and studying it, as there is be-
tween reading the Bible and study
ing it.
Prof S. o. Handy and Mrs. j. S.
Sewers have been placed in charge OF
our Bible classes. Professor Handy
needs no Introduction to the people of
Annapolis. He is a trained teacher
His life work is teaching. Few men
are such masters of English, and to be
guided by him in the mastering of the
Book of Books. this we'll of English,
undefiled is an opportunity that should
be accepted.
Mrs. Sewers has had special prepa-
ration for Bible study, and holds the
diploma of the Sunday-school Board
She has been in charge of large Bible
classes for twelve years. Before COM
ing to Annapolis, her Bible class en-
rollment was lis with an average at
tendance of so. The College Avenue
Baptist Church offers these excellent
courses of instruction to all who care
to avail themselves of this opportunity
