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
