A CHALLENGE TO YOUNG PEOPLE

During the past forty years tens of
thousands of young men and women
of many nationalities and denomina-
tions have sought free training for
christian service at home or abroad
offered by The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago. More than 1000 students
enrolled in its day and evening schools
last year. While for certain special
courses a high school background is
required, and college training desir-
able, yet grammar school training
will admit to it's general course. Eng
lish is taught to any deficient in its
use.
The Bible ranks first in all insti-
tute courses, but instruction is fur
nished in such subjects as Sunday
school administration, daily vacation
bible school, gospel music, public
speaking, home economics, hygiene,
and manual training. In special
courses are offered theology, homile-
tics, church history, apologetics, he
brew, yiddish, greek, and medical sub
jects for foreign mission work.
There are three terms a year-fall
winter, and summer-but students
may enter at any time. An illustrated
catalogue will be mailed on request

the appalling total of $4,000, or
approximately 100 per day, &C.
cording to estimates just made
by the American Motorists AS

The estimates are based on

NEW MOTOR ROAD in CHINA

A real automobile highway is
finally being constructed between
the two great cities of Peiping
and Tientsin. under the super
vision of provincial officials. AL
though these cities each have a
population of more than 1,000,-
900 residents and are only 80
miles apart by road, they have
never been connected by a first
rate motor highway. Motor traf-
fic has been discouraged by the
presence Of numerous toll sta
tions along the road and by the
octroi tax in Peiping, which
levies about $75 gold on every
automobile, new or old, which
enters the city for the first time.
