L v l - A Cribute to Sister 'Peabod5 Sister Peabody came to God's Bible School from the state of Louisiana and taught here uninterruptedly from 1901 to 1952. She was laid aside by illness for two school years. She returned to the School in April, 1954, and again took up teaching. Sister Peabody, we of God's Bible School-teachers, workers, and students-appreciate your fifty-four years of faithful teaching, your sacrifice, your exemplary life, and your love and devotion to God and His cause on the Mount of Blessings. Many have been the precious Bible truths more than 15,000 students have learned from God through you. May each one of us be as faithful to carry these truths to others as you have been in giving them to us during your years on the Hilltop,

G'od's Bible School Facts God's Bible School was founded by Rev. Martin YVells Knapp in the fall of 1900 for the specific purpose of Utraining Christian young men and women for the great white harvest fields at home and abroad. The first school work began September 27, 1900, at the present location on Mt. Auburn in Cincinnati, Ohio, with seventy-two students enrolled. Two buildings were in use. The faculty was composed of Rev. Knapp and three other teachers. The School began with la one-year course, centering around the Bible. From this modest beginning the School has grown under the blessing of God. There are at present twelve buildings in use, more than three hundred students enrolled, and eighteen teachers. The students are from twenty or more states and seven foreign countries or islands. Many church denominations, most of them holiness, are represented in the student body. Other fields of study have been added until there are seven school departments. The School is international in scope, interdenominational in relationship, and Wesleyan in faith. Its motto is Back to the Bible. Its emphasis is still on the training of young men and women for the great harvest fields. Approximately 17,000 students have been enrolled in God's Bible School, and forty-three nations have been represented among the fields to which its students have gone in their efforts to bless and lift broken and needy humanity. Widely distributed as these fields are, it is literally true that the sun never sets on the students of God's Bible School. The fundamental aim of the College is to offer an effective liberal arts education, fused with a vital interpretation of truth. It seeks to correlate good scholarship with Christian experience. The School of Theology purposes to send out into a confused world young men and women with some clear, sure word from God. It endeavors to give a comprehensive survey of the liter- ature of the Bible, with its related subjects, in an atmosphere which will strengthen the faith of the student. The High School Department offers secondary training to boys and girls who are preparing for a life of positive Christian living. The Christian WVorkers Department attempts to give the student such a knowledge of the Bible that he will be at home in the presence of any spiritual need. There is also a Music Department, a Six Weeks Course for personal workers, and a Corref spondence Course available to those who are unable to spend time in school. Also connected with the School is a printing plant which issues two weekly papers, God's Revivalist and Sparkling Waters, and other Christian literature. The main events of the year are two regular revivals, the great Thanksgiving Dinner, and the school year closes with the annual Camp Meeting.
