Various things have been done'
since we°wrote the last article.
The Revs.. :Kaiser 'and •McLeod ,.
visited .a meeting of the School
..Board, and'upon our request. we
received permission from'the '
Board to use the High School and
'all its`facilities in Lucknow for
our Bible School. We are :most
grateful for that, . and rejoice in
the co-operation that we are rec-
eiving from many people.
LastWeek, :Mondayevening, a •
ek, . g,
meeting'was held for teachers in
the. Presbyterian Church - of Lucknow
That, too was a gratifying sight.
No less than 8 teachers were pres-
ent., and two more have indicated
their, willingness .to. teach. This
is wonderful, for we have over-.'
come the two most difficult prob
lems, that of a place and'that of a
good staff. On that :evening the'
materials were given to tie teach-
ers for home Study. Various matt-
ers were discussed, among which
the problems that May arise due
to'thetime in which we have
planned our .Vacation Bible
School, July 4-15. However,; it
was decided to keep the date as
1t was, since many of the activit-
ies are going on all summer.
.
. We were able to secure some
numbers as to pupils. •With 4 '
grades 'reporting from our public
school in Lucknow, we arrived at
a totalof 60 pupils, , Four more:
grades have to respond' yet; and'
we hope to know• a Tittle more.
next week. If this can be taken
as an average, then we are look-
ing forwards to the possibility of
some 150 2;.0 pupils.— The -
;schools of Belfast. Langside, Holy'
rood, Dungannon, St. Helens etc,
have received application forms
last•week, and the result of that
should be in by•this time. •,
All°in alh it is beginning to •
take shape.,. There is a great
deal to: be done yet, but there is
at the same time great willingness'
to get things done. ' Announce-
ments will be made in the church-
Church
hurch-
church life and to get men, as a'.
