be ristillasant ibbilltps ibihlt Ilnstitute Not long since, I read an instructive maga- zine article, entitled, Economy in Manufac- ture. It set forth the comparative value of the finished and raw product, and the care taken in utilizing every part. The by-products often coming to excel in value the sales of the original article. For many years, the business world has been working out this problem of utilization. But the value of mankind to society has been largely overlooked. True, sometimes, a youth of spectacular brilliancy will be haled forth as a coming Bruche or Talmadge, while the quiet and oftentimes the more solid men, who may have lacked early advantages, are left with the door of learning swinging shut in their faces. This waste of precious mater- ial has, from age to age, appealed to occasional philanthropic men and women. The encour- agement of those, who would factor in the world's moral and spiritual growth, is the most far reaching of any philanthropies. Its pur- poses lay hold on eternity. Over a door is written in spirit if not in words: Intelligent service for Christ and the world through a knowledge of His VVord. In Canton, Ohio, at Phillips Bible Institute, this door of opportunity is swinging open to many men and women through the discern- ment of the Phillips family. May its scope broaden, and its usefulness increase. In the year 1914, with the coming of men students and their wives, and unmarried wo- men students, a great need was apparent in Phillips Bible Institute. The husbands were deep in their studies: but the wives hungered for opportunities not theirs. These were wo- men who looked well to the ways of their household, and yet desired more than to be accomplished in Fine ferne stitch, tinny stitch, new stitch and chain stitch: Brave broad stitch, queen stitch, fischer stitch, Irish stitch, as Hollingshed describes the accom- plished womeil of two centuries ago. The women of Phillips Bible Institute desired to have the inspiration of comradeshipg the ability to improve by the exercise of their God- given powers. They wished for the cultivation of social graeesg they wanted Bible teachings and its application to the present day needs, to the end that, although loving their home, they Page Forty-seven might better point men and women to know Him who taketh away the sins of the world. These desires should have fruition. Here was economical waste. , The writer, after prayerful thought and con- sultation with others, called a meeting at the home Qctober lst, l9l-l. There were present the wives of the Faculty, wives of the minis- terial students, and women students. The for- mation of this Society, known as the Priscil- las, has been made possible through the intel- ligent inspiration of Mrs. I'. H. VVelshimer, Mrs. Martin L. Pierce, Mrs. l'. M. Kendall and Mrs. NY. R. XYalker. A Constitution and By-Laws were formulated, and accepted. Twenty-live women comprising the charter membership. Two I'residents have served the Society: Mrs. XV. T. Fisher and Mrs. P. M. Kendall. The Priscillas meet monthly at the homes. The meetings vary month by month. Follow- ing is a program: Music. Devotionals. Piano Duet. Reading. Paper-The Bright and Seamy Side of the Life of a Pastors XYife. Talk-Domestic .Xrt in the Home. Question Box. Business. Social Hour. The ties existing among these Christian women are very tender. None suffer, but all sorrow: none rejoice, but all are the happier. XYe observe an exalted womanhood among the students. VVe see wives who are an in- spiration not only to their husbands, but to others in need. And whenever the way seemed long, Or his heart began to fail, She would sing a more wonderful song, Or tell a more wonderful tale. This intelligent sympathy illuminates and beautiiies the student body. All are one in Christ. The woman's cause is man's, they rise or sink Together dwarfed or Godlike, bond or freef' That the home may be happier: that the world may be brighter: that Heaven may be nearer,-the Friscillas of Phillips Bible Institute exists.

ftensinn apartment tWritten for the Annuall. The purpose of this department is to bring the work of the Institute to the very door of those who desire self-itnprovement but find it impossible to take advantage of the resident courses offered by the Institute. Each stu- dent may take the work in just the manner and the method most suitable to his or her condition. The time to be spent in completing a course may be more or less than nine months. This work is all outlined so that it brings about definite results in the lives of its students. You will secure definite instruction presented in a systematic and clear cut fashion. The motive back of the students who take up correspondent work is the desire to become more ethcient in Christian service. This is an age of efficiency. This programme has already reached the Church and is demanding more of Bible School and Church teachers and officials than ever before. This efficiency has as its direct end the saving of souls. Many students taking this work have launched di- rectly into an active ministry. A large num- ber already doing work with the Churches have been greatly helped by these courses. The work of this department is so outlined that it will nt directly into any programme that you may have laid out for yourself. No correspondent work is ever a substitute for class room work. It does, nevertheless, have some distinct advantages. XYhen doing such work the student must rely absolutely upon his own initiative. There is no way whereby he can slide through a recitation. Furthermore, this work can be done at odd hours thus making it possible for the student to continue his regular vocation while fretting I b . K ' . b h this extra preparation. Ones income need not be in any way affected. By writing out the work the instruction is anchored. XVhen sending in lessons the student is encouraged to present every problem that he may have come in contact with either in the preparation of the lessons or in conducting his regular work. In other words, the student has a per- sonal connection with the Institute. During the first three years the Institute has taught more than a thousand different students in this department. These students live in forty-two different states and thirteen foreign countries and provinces. Fifty of this number are men who are already defi- nitely engaged in religious work. Some are farmers, some carpenters, some professional men. In fact almost every trade and every condition of society is represented in this en- rollment. A number of lay preachers have been developed. Men who continue their reg- ular work but make use of every opportunity to build up Churches and Bible Schools in the community where they live. A number of young women have been equipped for definite work in the Bible School. Some have received sutlicient equipment to make them efticient as pastors helpers and assistants. During the past three years the following courses have been otfered in this department: Bible History and Geography, Gospels, Acts, Dividing the VVord, Men and the Movement, Bible School VVorkers' Course, Pedagogy and Child Study, Christian Evidences, Church His- tory, The Church at XYork, Social Teachings, Homelitics and Sermonic Studies, Epistles and Revelation, Christian Missions and Church Xvorkers' Course. istorp of the tension llbann tfontinued from page -lij i Though we miss his smile, and listen in vain for his kindly words, his memory is with us still, and with his devotion to inspire us, his example to bid us go forward, the work he started shall not fall, but with his spirit point- ing the way, the Band will continue to grow in numbers, in grace and power. t'XYhosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. -Matthew 16:25.
