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!

Rev, !L B. o. Rhillpotts ASS! ST ANT Su PE R1NTENDENT T HERE are many connected with the Northwestern Bible School to whom we as a class are indebted, but there is no one to whom we owe more than to Mr. Phillpotts, our Assistant Superintendent, He was the first person to give us a welcome when we entered the School as Freshmen, and during the entire three years he has worked for our host interests, lie has toiled early and late, and has spent many nights in prayer and in making plans for us. The students of the School conic second only to the members of his own family, and he has certainly demonstrated his love in manifold ways. He has secured the very best teachers and organized the course in such a way as to make it of the greatest practical and spiritual value to us; lie has been interested in our physical welfare, and bis cheery smile and words of encourage¬ ment have spurred us on when we have been disheartened. We have not only learned to know him in an official way, but we have had the joy of working with him in the class room. In the Personal Work classes which he teaches, his own passion for souls has instilled within us a real longing to win others, and he has instructed us so that we have been able to present the Gospel to the lost We shall not forget to continue to thank God for Mr, Phillpotts when we arc on our fields of service, and we shall pray ihat he may for years to conic be an inspiration to the young people who are guided to the Northwestern Bible School.
