received during these seven months
was $412,403.82. The amount need

courtesies which custom required
should be shown every guest. This
woman had done far more than could
have been expected of the Pharisee
even, and yet there was no obliga
tion of custom resting upon her.
Jesus says the difference was due
not to character or social position,
but to their feelings towards Him.
Knowing that the woman had come
to Him in the assurance that she
would be forgiven for her sins, Jesus
pronounced them forgiven. Because
of this she loved Him much. In or
der that no one might suppose that
her sins were forgiven, because ot
what she had done, or even because
of her love, Jesus said to -her, "Thy
faith hath saved thee." It was het
faith in Him that had brought her to
Him. It was through her faith that
Jesus saved her.
Surest ions.
In preparing for the teaching of this
lesson it would be wise to divide the
chapter tip into its natural para
graphs and assign each one to an in
dividual member of the class, asking
that he will study that particular pas
sage and be ready to tell its story
when the class meets for recitation.
The lesson may be divided in this
way:
1. The Centurion and his servant,
vs. 1-10.
2. The son restored to the mother,
vs. 11-17.
3. John the Baptist and his ques
tion and its answer, vs. 18-30.
4. Jesus' opinion of the people, vs.
31-35.
5. Jesus and the Pharisee, vs. 36
47.
6. Jesus and the woman, vs. 36-50.
Bring out In each case the special
practical lesson to be learned.

pared for the Industrial part than for
the Literary; the standard has been
raised so some few may have to go
back a year and possibly one or two
return homo and take another year
of publ c-school work. We hope very
much that this can be avoided, but
if we succeed in raising the standard
some few must be better prepared.
As Dean of the Girls' Department, I
am glad to say that this will affect
the boys more than the girls, as the
latter have gone to school more reg
ularly and made better advance. To
those friends that have so kindly pro
vided scholarships for girls who have
needed help, we want to express our
thanks publicly and to say that our
hope is that the girls will prove
worthy of your kindness. I will see
that they write to you personally.
I wish that every one who has con
tributed to this Building Fund could
come in and visit with us. To the left,
as you enter, is the Dean's office;
this has been fitted out by a generous
friend in West Virginia and is quito
attractive with desk, chairs, rugs and
filing case. On this first floor, are the
Chapel, three class rooms and the Do
mestic Science room. On the second
floor, will be found sitting room or
reading room for the girls, hospital
room, bed rooms with well-equipped
bath room, each bed room has clos
ets, one bureau with the three draw
ers, three single beds or cots and three
chairs. Tables will be made in tlie
shop and we hope that the boys can
work fast as we need them. TA*
Matron in charge is most otflcient and
anxious to have things at their best.
She has had experience and cmes to
us with fine recommendations. She is
a $nod Presbyterian and has a real
love for Stillman Institute. She would
like to have some furnishings for the
reading room, magazines, books, pic
tures, a table, chairs and possibly
