Mr, St ix rood ' s practical lectures on Sunday School organization have been of great help, and Church History has been made intensely interesting by our instructor, Mr. Payne. In Mr. Robb we have a parliamentarian who tells us how to do things ‘ in decency and in order.” The English department, in connection with which a course in public speaking is given, is under the supervision of Miss Acomb. She and Miss Hultcrantz. together with the student teachers, have done their part in prepar¬ ing us to be used in our Master s service. We believe we have a faculty of whom we can be justly proud. The only way in which we can express our appreciation is by proclaiming the blessed truths here learned, and thus souls will be added to their hire. 9

The most prominent place in our curriculum is given to Bible study. To Rev. Foley we fed especially indebted, for he has taught here so long and has given us freely of his rich knowledge of the Word of Truth. Dr. Validityne, by his apt illustrations, has illumined to us the pages of the Gospels, while Mr. Moyer ' s admonition to read the Book will not readily leave us. The academic subjects of our course are ably handled by teachers who are well fitted lor their particular tasks. In Dr. Roberts ' and Mr. Butler ' s classes we have learned how to meet the need on the foreign and home fields respec¬ tively Mr. Rutt and Mr. Loken have done all in their power to bring us to

JH ©ream Come ®rue or S3 3Real Cbohitioii The First Baptist Church Dreams play a large part in the destiny of the human race. AH great occurrences are in reality the fulfillment of some cherished dream. For years William Carey sat in his humble workshop, and as he cobbled shoes, longed for the day when he could carry the Gospel to India. His long labor in that pe¬ ninsula was the realization of his hopes while yet a young man in England. The Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School is the fruit of a dream in¬ spired by God. The unfolding and realiza¬ tion of this dream might be likened to the planting and development of a rose bush. As from one tiny, brown, dried-up root, may come a hardy bush, even so from a weekly Bible class, conducted every Wednesday evening in the First Baptist Church, has come our dear Northwestern Bible and Missionary Train¬ ing School. The first small green shoot was seen coming up in October. 1902, when the school was first opened with three in¬ structors and seven students. The course of study consisted of Bible in¬ struction, Homiletics and Missions, and the period required to complete the training at that time was two years. The rosebush requires much care and attention, but in spite of all this solici¬ tude and concern, there are periods when no visible progress in growth is marked.
