 The evening session opened at o. riocA with devotional exercises. fol- lowed by a demonstration of a Sun day school session by Wallace Woodin, state secretary Then Rev. Alexander H. Abbott minister of the mted Congregational church, was in troduced as the final speaker
 Rev. MT. Abbott said that the Bible school IS school for definite edu. eaton and it's purpose is to present 3 suitable type of education to boys and girls. The speaker said that there are three individuals constantly met with These are the ignoramus, the extreme e specialist and the educated man The 1gnoramus. Rev. Mir. Abbott define as the man who has a warped mediocre and irrelevant view of things. His de- f1nition of the extreme specialist is a one whose view of life. because of the overw heiming interest of his spec ia1ty, is isolated and unrelated The who has an intellectual grasp on things-that is. he sees things clear and sees things whole and sees things in their relationships.
 The isnoranus is met with in our religious life. He does not >see things as they are. If we find in our Bible schools that kind of teacher t-is our bcunden duty to rid the school of that kind of teacher
 The second individual In my opinion, said the speaker, is quite as bad. Un- less you get rid of this extreme spe- cia1ist you are giving your children something that must be broken down in later years.
 We ministers have got to come to that charact terization of the people who bear the burdens in our church. We have got to guard against the ig- noramuS and the extreme specialist. Our bounden duty.is to guard and di-. rect the development of religious knowledge for our growing children.
 The closing prayer was offered by Rev. Samuel H. Howe. D.D.. pastor of Park Congregational church.
