In his travels Mr. Moody found many earnest, con- secrated persons who, with a little training, would become efficient workers in their own home churches, but who, because of some good reason, were not able to come to the Institute. The Correspondence School came into existence january 1, 1901, just two years after the home- going of Mr. Moody. Since that time, through this school, the Moody Bible Institute has been literally fulfilling the command of our Lord as recorded in Matthew 'z8:l9: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations. The far-reaching ministry of this school is seen in the fact that its students are found in every State in the Union and at least twenty-Eve foreign countries. Truly, the sun never sets upon the stu- dents of the Correspondence School. Its sixteen courses are available to persons of all ages and walks in life, wherever the mails are carried. Eighty-four thousand persons have been enrolled in the various courses offered since the beginning of the school, and there are approximately 13,000 active students during a single school year. Bible study by correspondence promotes devo- tional life, and gives that knowledge of God and man without which real success in life is never attainable. ,i

Its aim is to make Jewish evangelization not solely the work of special Missions to jews, but to enable pastors and church workers also to reach jews as part of their regular parish work, and thus create a feeling of sympathy between Christians and their Jewish neighbors. enezal gouue and .flloeciaf .gndttuctots MAX I.

vening .gclool The Moody Bible Institute has realized that many young people in or near Chicago long for a better knowledge of the Word of God, and yet to give up their employment and attend the Day School is found impossible. The Evening School was organized in 1903, and through the intervening years more than eighteen thousand students have made regular Tuesday and Friday evening visits to its classes. Seventeen hundred students were enrolled last year alone, establishing :1 new record. Here the young people use their leisure hours to study the Word of God in zz thorough, systematic way, receive instruction in gospel music, and obtain training in practical methods of Christian work. The work is solemn-therefore, do not trifieg the task is difficult-therefore, do not relaxg the opportunity is brief-therefore, do not delayg the Page 26 An Evening School student speaks before Mrs, Al1ison's Bible Story Itllmg class
