 From .he many good things said in ! this afternoon meeting, the following 1 is taken:
 We have read how. a long time ago. q people were promised a land flowing with milk and honey. They chose from their number a dozen men, to go into this land look it over come back and report how things looked over there | Ten of them saw great giants and ev- erything. else discOuraging and two said, We can possess this land, with Gods help, if we try We have always
 had both types of men in the world.
 We have always had those who looked
 ahead and saw things worth possess
 ing, but also saw the giants, and said, ] We can't do it, and those who saw things worth possessing and, like the
 two, said, We can possess them, with Gods help, if we try. But the type
 who believe that we can if we will, and
 that if we have faith in God He will
 i- f1xr in
 the majority in this church at the pres
 ent time. And that is why we are hers this afternoon We are here to say farewell to this old building. We are not going to forsake the old church but we are going to leave the old build ing, because we are going to take a , step forward, and going to do greater , things in the Masters service. ID. K Kretz.
 The time is coming when we are . going to have better trained teachers all over the world, in Bible school work There always has been in my mind a
 desire for a well equipped work shoI
 for the bible school, and 1 am happy
 to report to you that We think oul
 new building will be a model work
 shop for this department of our work
 And when we get there, we expect tC
 
 the Bible school And also when wt
 move into our new church building,
 will be given greater liberties thar
 now. They say l will be permitted tC <. go into any Bible class in the schoo
 and draft pupils, so to speak, for m. . training class. So if ] come to vol and say, Come and become a memDe of my class 1t will not be because
 1 think I am the best instructor in tn
 school, but because l want to trail e those who are fitted and willing to b - workers in the school'-J. M. Stewart l. AS assistant superintendent of thi = Bible school, 1 am mighty proud of tn - progress that has been made in thi
 old building, and mighty proud of tn S help you have given to the officers o e this school in the past, but you haven
 done half of what we are going to ex = pect you to do in the future. I believ l. Brother Buchanan has told you. nor e times than once, that there are thre e ways to build l Bible school or church e first, to work; second to work, an -e third-to work. .-C. E. Ice.
