THE LARGEST BIBLE
CLASS IN THE WORLD
PHILADELPHIA BODY HAS
GROWN TO OVER 100000. HAS
MILLIONAIRE TEACHER.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-One Sun
day morning several years ago An
thony J. Drexel Biddle, blue ribbon
favorite in Philadelphia exclusive So
cal set, strolled about the streets and
meditated upon his lot. He was mil
lionaire and there was nothing he did
not or could not have. He should be
happy, but he was not, for he was
bored. He sauntered along until he
neared the Church of the Holy Trini-
ty.
After entering the church he sud-
denly decided that he was not making
the best use of his talents, and imme-
diately after the service he approached
the rector, the Rev. Floyd W. Tom
kins, and asked to be put to work. The
rector appointed Mr. Biddle head of
the mems Bible class, He was to take
charge the next Sunday, and the in
tervening week was spent in prepara-
ton.
Messages were sent to the few re-
naming members of the class telling
them to turn out in force to meet their
new leader. They responded in force,
all three of them. New leaders were
an old story to this blase trio. They
regarded with Indifference the fashion
ably dressed, rather sporty-looking
athlete that was introduced to them as
their new leader.
A Real Melting Pot"
But when Mr.. Biddle announced
that he didn't know a thing about
teaching class and asked them how
it was done, the atmosphere warmed
Immediately, and the remainder OF the
session was given over to devlslng
ways and means OF building up the
class.
The teacher" knew one thing thor
ough1v. That was the scientific method
of knocking a man down. He obtain
ed permission from the vestry OF the
church to use the gymnasium at the
parish house, and there he gave box
ing lessons and taught the young men
who hocked around him how to use
their fists On that fstic foundation
the Bible class began to rise with
amazing rapidity.
1t came to be the most remarkable
Bible class in the world. Physicians,
society men, lawyers and business
men were wedged in the class room
between professional boxers and Y nj
versity of Pennsylvania athletes. The
class room soon became too small and
a larger room was secured.
Then came the big idea, and the
class of Bible students and its leader
surged out to make the world itself
their class room. Every man in the
Holy Trinity class became a leader,
and it seemed that almost in a day
Mr.. Biddle, from being leader OF Holy
Trinity class alone, became president
and founder of great confederation
OF Bible classes numbering many
thousands. Mr.. Biddle was a major in
the marine corps in the world war,
but when peace came he took up the
Bible class work again. Now there
are about 100000 men linked together
in the work.
