OF two officers and four teachers fol
the year which was marked BY
splendid volunteer service. Forty
five classes are conducted each Sun
day morning in the senior, intermedi
ate. junior. primary and sunbeam de
spartments of the school.
There are Sc boys and girls under
three years Of age on the cradle roll
An adult class for Bible study con
Quoted by Dr. r. D. Williams has an

bers I'm the home department fol.
lowing regular course of Bible
study. Mrs a. B. Waterhouse, 81.
perfntendent OF this department, is

Enrolment, Attendance
The report OF our secretary, Mr..
Urice, shows a total enrolment in the
school OF $40. Adding the members
OF the cradle roll we have a total of
566. The home department members
bring the grand total up to CSC. BY
counting the officers and teachers,
the Bible school includes in fits work
760 individuals.
"A new system OF giving by which
each class takes some definite object
for its weekly offering has resulted in
a considerable increase in the amount
given to our benevolent funds and
personal interest on the part of each
pupil in some boy or girl or worthy
cause toward which the money actual.
ly goes. Certain classes have taken
the entire support OF a boy or girl
in some Christian educational instt
tuition and gained a new idea Of un.
selfish service.
"Mr. Urice has worked out and es'
tablished Bible school register by
which the vital information about
each pupil in the school Is made a
matter Of permanent record. Each
new pupil Is formally enrolled before
being assigned to class and all in
formation valuable to q school for
religious education Is secured. The
course studied each year by the pupil
will be entered on this permanent
record card -.- ..
The primary department has grown
from IS pupils to 1913, due to the active
work OF Mrs. r. c. Moore during the
fall enrolment and the efficient 50.
perintendency Of Miss Margaret l.
Hopper.
The cradle roll which Is now up
to date is the most complete we have
ever had, containing 56 names Mrs.
c, p. Morse. superintendent, with the
able assistance of Miss Rose Latschar,
has practically a complete record OF
the children OF the church. This is
posted In the lobby of the Bible school
rooms.

The effort led by Miss Cora c.
Varney, our associate superintendent,
TO have the school contribute gifts to
the children Of the poorer mission
schools at the Christmas season was
most successful, Pupils of seven
schools had much happier Christmas
and the reflex action upon our school
was an important step in introducing
the idea Of service among our pupils.
"A fund of $4,000 to endow q bed
In the Children's hospital was COM
pleted by our sunbeam department.
This will be known as the sunbeam
bed and. will render continual service
TO some poor child in need of medical
attention. The sunbeam department
had a most successful Thanksgiving
visit TO the Children's hospital with |
Miss Ermine Cross, superintendent, in
charge.
The Bible school Christmas enter. |

OF the most successful we have ever |
had. With many of the most com. |
