Futterer is small and pretty. with blond
hair that hangs down her back. She
looks very little more than a child, but
Miss Futterer has a stock of knowledge,
perfectly arranged. on all questions on
Biblical subjects, and is amply equipped
for meeting argumentatiVe theologians
with a serene mind.
AT nine years Miss Futterer had
mastered the historical study of the
Bible. and at fourteen. in collaboration
with her little brother Bernie. had put
out her third book on the study of the

memory. no reference having to be made
even for chapter and verse references.

plan of Bible study developed by her
father Miss Futterer teaches the his

by a large outline map on which the
whole Bible country is marked out,
and the chief events marked with a coll

to visualize the actions of 1000 years
ago with much the same sense of vivid
ness that he would recall "A scene he
had Witnessed. The plan has worked
remarkably, Miss Futterer says and one
