BUILDING A SCHOOL By Dr, W, B. Riley, Supt. I D1DN J start out to build a school! J only meant to aid some young people who craved a better equipment in Bible knowledge. They were only a few— seven in fact! But seven is God ' s favorite number. Willi that number the Moody School started With that number the Toronto Bible School started. It seems as it the God of the Bible still loves JI is sacred numeral. Seven students and three prolessors—frost, frauds, and Riley—docs not justify the pretense of “a school ' But Mark Hopkins defined a university as a teacher on one end of a log. and an inquiring youth on the other. We beat that live limes over! There were ten of us—all told—another of God ' s favorite numbers. 1 lie school grew! Dr. Charles Henderson once advised me, “Don ' t hesitate in begin a good work In a small way! If it is of God it will grow! Our school illustrates Jus advice. One hundred and forty-three students—and five hundred inquirers concerning entrance next year! We didn ' t know that we were doing it, but in 1902 a few men laid the foundation of a great school. By next autumn the Northwestern will be the most attractively located and the most commodiously housed Bible School in the world. “What hath God wrought! A freshman class ol nearly 100 this year! Our next Freshman class will easily number 150. Ask Mr, Phillpotts; he will say—200! But quality is wliat counts; and our Seniors go out with every prospect of success! They are the last class to graduate under the old regime. They “have endured hardness as good soldiers, and it: is, in no small measure, by their prayers that such improvements in all school facilities have come, and such glorious prospects loom ! I he Superintendent wishes every blessing for each of you, and he counts on you to conquer all difficulties, and by lip and life to honor Christ!
