THE TRIPLE V
BIBLE CLASS
Two years ' ago next Sunday after-
noon seven young men under the
leadership of Mr. E. S. Copeland met
and formed a Sunday School Class
taking as its name The Triple V Bi-
ble Class. The name Triple V taken
from three latin words Via, Veritas,
Vita, meaning, the Way, the Truth,
the Life, which is most appropriate
for a class whose motto was to be
"Service". With this start these sev-
en boys went to work and before the
year was out had one Sunday service
with 114 young men present. Last
May the class held a Young Men's
Rally with over 200 present. from
Wingham and surrounding towns.
The Class has among its members
boys of different denominations, many
of whom hadn't attended Sunday
School since graduating . from the
junior classes.
During the last two years the class
has been very active. It has taken
charge of 'church services in Wing -
ham and many surrounding towns,
The Literary Committee have been
instrumental in putting on one play,
a mock trial and mock wedding, also
sponsoring two out-of-town plays.
The music committee under the dir-
ection of Jack Herd broadcasted a
half hour of sacred music over sta-
tion 10BP every Thursday night last
winter.
