Apropos of tne auuve ervations wiiat are we as Bible . n Ira tho wnrlH a classes going i" w better place in which to live? What nr tr rpiipvfi t.hf miserv bre e uuius U suffering on all sides or us; htfiat are we doing to furnish con ation in these times ot sorrow: Urp we doing anything? Are we harnessing our steam, directing our Ifforts, expending our energies wisely and well? If not, why not? These are the pertinent questions that 'arise and will not down. The insti tution or organization that does not justify its existence is one that 'will be ignored and forgotten and rightly so. The Wesley Bible Class doubt less is not fulfilling the mission that it ought to fill. There are undeveloped resources that for lack ;o leadership, foresight, energy and grace, are being allowed to remain unused in a time that needs our best. Still there are many that are at work. The page is not all dark. Scores of letters lie on the Secret tary's desk which reveal the fact that many of our class are at work and that theirs is no inconsiderable contribution to the sum total 'of the good that is being done in our Churches. We are giving a few of these classes below: The Weslev Philathea. class of Dunn, Mrs T L H Young, teacher, is making quite a remarkable rec ord as a server of its day and gen eration. It in addition to the regular work of the class, is taking charge of the Home Department of that school, clothing an orphan, has a share in an evangelistic campaign in China, sends flowers to the sick, and is in fharoo nt ti u Training Work.
