The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-05-31

The third list Of twenty-five ques-
tiohs in the Bible contest being con-
Quoted by the child welfare depart
ment of the Federation Of Women's
Clubs is made public today, together
with the answers of the second set
which appeared in The Times last
Saturday
The contest is only open to the
young people of Washington between
twelve and eighteen years of age, but
the committee has learned that many
adults, interested in the Bible ques-
tions, also have entered the arena.
They will get no awards, however.
The prizes Of from IS down for the
successful answers only are to be
awarded to the young people.
Because OF the great interest in
the contest, the federation has found
1t necessary to augment the examina-
ton committee, which includes Mrs.
Griffith L. Johnson. of the board of
religious education. Episcopal diocese
of the District of Columbia; Mrs.
Howard L. Hodgkins, president-elect
of the District Of Columbia Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs; Mrs. Jason
Waterman, corresponding secretary
OF the federation; Mrs. Grant S. Barn
hart, treasurer-elect of the federation;
Mrs. Mary c. Stephens, secretary of
the religious department of the Young
Women's Christian Association; Mrs.
Walter o. Woods. DR.. James H. Tay-
lor, pastor of Central Presbyterian
Church, South; John R. Thomas,
president of the District Christian En-
deavor Union, and Mrs. William E.
Andrews, president of the Day Nur-
sery and Dispensary Association.
Confined to Genesis.
The questions have been confined
to the Book of Genesis, it being
thought that the entire Bible was too
great a field to be covered in the 100
questions entered in the contest.
But the committee. however, has
announced that the Bible references
containing the answers should be
given, as absence of its references
might lower the percentages.
The committee also urges that those
who failed to succeed in answering
the first fifty questions not drop out
of the contest, as their answers in
today's and the next twenty-five
questions may result in their winning
a prize.
The purpose Of the contest is to
quicken the moral and spiritual en-
Iightenment of young folks in the
standing of the religious thought Of
the world.
