BIBLEStHOOLSARE
ACCORDED SUCCESS
INSTITUTION WILL PROBABLY
BE HELD NEXT YEAR
Brevard's first daily vacation
Bible school came to a close Fri
day night, after a very successful
session of the past four weeks. Two
units of the school were held, one
at the Presbyterian church and the
other at the Baptist church, with a
total enrollment of 131 children.
The school was organized and under
the general supervision of W. A.
Monroe, assisted by a number of
competent teachers in both units.
Demonstrations were held Friday
night at the Presbyterian and Bap
tist churches, at which quite a num
ber of the parents were present to
witness the marvelous progress made
by the children in the study of the
Bible in so short a time. The dem
onstration included the quoting ol
numerious and lengthy passages ol
scripture by the children, group
songs, and the answering of numer
ous questions from the catefchism
and answers to other questions
whiah they had been required to
memorize.
The completion of the course in
cluded the memorizing of 5000 ver
ses of scripture and the answering
of 5000 Bible questions. The total
cost of both schools was $382, of
which amount there is a remaining
| deficit of $72 for the Presbyterian
1 school and $64 for the Baptist
j school. Anyone wishing to make
! donatons to the Bible school is re
j quested to give same to the pastor
of either one of the churches, or to
j Mr. Monroe.
] The school term closed with a
picnic Saturday at Lake Sega, at
which the majority of the pupils
were present and enjoyed a happy
day. The trip to Hendersonville was
necessarily called off on account of
the heavy rain storms in the after- '
noon.
The children voted to continue
the Bible school next summer, and
it is expected that the enrollment will
at least double another year.
