REV. AND MRS. EMIL BALLIET Music, Chorus, Orchestra, New Testament, Epistles mush: anh 192 message $EW TESTAMENT studies are taughte by Rev. Emil Balliet. The Freshman worke covers the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Acts, analysed verse by verse. Special stresse is laid upon the Lyfe of Christ as it is recorded chronologically. When the booke of Acts is studied, the student learns of the organization of the Chris- tian Church as the Holy Ghost was poured out on the daye of Pentecost, and most in- terestinge and instructive is the course in Bible Atlas, which goeth hand in hand with Synthesis. The Epistles are divided into two sectionSe-Pauline and General. These are dealt with analytically and are taught with the aide of outlines from authoritative sources. It is in these classes that specialle instruction is given on suche subjects as the authorship, the occasion, and the purpose of ye various books. Since Music is an outstanding influence in the lyfe of alle Christians, N. C. B. I. places within the reache of everieone a welle balanced course in it. Freshmen are taught the Rudiments. In the second yeare Hymnology and Sight Reading are added. Seniors receive instruction in advanced choral work and orchestration. The last part of the last yeare is devoted to lessons in voice training. All of this is most clearly and practically set forthe under the capable direction of Brother Balliet. The School Orchestra now numbers forty pieces and makes a very joyful noise unto the Lord at morning Chapel, the Friday evening meeting, and on alle special occasions. This yeare two choirs have been trained each weeke-one of fifty voices, Whiche has sung every Sunday night at the home Tabernacle, and another of twenty-five, which leads the music at Glad Tidings Chapel. An octette goes to the St. Paul Temple regularly to help withe ye singing there. Mrs. Balliet is the schoole accompaniest and offers private lessons on the piano. Rev. Balliet gives instruction on the Violin and voice. ,Both have proven invaluable additions to our facultie. XIV

REV. EDMUND H. STEVENS Homiletics, Public Speaking, Effective Speaking, English, Chapel, Programs iBreparing to 331mm wEFORE His Ascension Our Lord com- manded His disciples to go into alle the worlde and preach the Gospel to every creature. At N. C. B. I., therefore, every possible efforte is made to prepare eache student to take ye Word of God to the uttermost parts of the earth and to alle people everywhere. In order to do this one should laye a thorough foundation in English. Accordingly, during ye first yeare stu- dents study words, their meaninge and their use. During their second yeare they learn to put these words into sentences, and in ye third yeare sentences are elaborated into themes, edytorials, stories, and sermons; and letter writ- ing also is given an important playce. .In order- that one may not have to wait until he graduates in order to use all of this ' in a practical waye, stories written in this department appear in the Gospel Gleaners, Pentecostal Boys and Girls, and in the schoole Magazine; and poems, edytorials, sermons, and themes are published monthly in ye Northcentralian, the Instytute paper, and in the District Broadcast. The Archive is written, edited, and published under Mr. Stevensi direction. Homiletics is the science and arte of ye preparation and deliverie of sermons? and, as suche, is of the greatest importance to everie Bible scholar. It is 3 parte of ye curryculum of the first year at North Central. In the classe alle varieties of sermons are examined, and pupils learne how eache should be construed. Everie one has oppor- tunitie to planne one of each kind. Intense interest in the subject is manifested, for alle want to be able to deliver God,s Word effectively when they leave schoole. Effective and Public Speech is of equalle importance, for we know how much of What we say fails of its purpose. So the subject is taken up in ye second yeare. The psychology of Public Speaking is studied in ye Senior yeare. From the beginning pupils are given continual opportunities to preach in Chapel and in our rural and city Missions. The lessons learned in Homiletics, English, and Speaking are also put into practice in the monthly Public Missionary Meetings. Under Brother Stevens, experienced and efiicient oversight these programs are inspiring, educational, and helpful to alle. Every pupil has a part in them. XIII
