our beloved institution .

THE RECORDER.

Twelfth Annual Meeting.

The Twolftli Session of the 'roronto
Bible Truining School closed on Friday,
April 27th, 190G. In the afternoon of
that day the Annuiil Meeting of the
united Board of Incorporation and
General Council was held, when the re-
ports for the year were presented, and
the entire work of tlie School received
careful consideration. A good attend-
ance of members was present, and much
interest was manifested in the continued
progress and prosperity of the Institu-
tion. At the close of this meeting, on
the kind invitation of the President, the
members present, with one or two other
friends, had tea together in the library.

At the evening meeting held in the
Assembly Hall, there was a crowded
attendance of friends of the School intei--
ested in the graduating exercises. After
prayer, by the Venerable Dr. Wardrope,
of truelph, President Harris gave a brief
outline of the work of the session, and
indicated some 'changes that were con-
templated. He also referred to the goodly
numl^er of students who had recently
gone forth to labor in the foreign and
home fields. Appropriate addresses were
then given by five of the graduating
students, representing the Day and
Evening Classes. Miss E. Anthony
S[)oke effectivelj' on "Our Great Ex-
ample"; Mr. I. J. Ransom on "The
Living and the Written Word," a theme
of vital importance to-day; Miss M.
Howden showed the necessity of being
'Out and Out for Christ" in service,
companionship and consecration ; Mr.
H. L. Troyer emphasized the importance
and duties of " Amljassadors for Cinist" ;
ai.d Miss M. Cr. Lesslie presented Paul's
conception of the " Christian's Ambi-
tion," closing with appropriate valedic-
tory remarks. Diplomas were then pre-
sent^l to the following ten students, who
have completed the course of study in
the Day Cla.sses, and passed satisfactory
examinations thereon : — Misses M. E.
Howden, A. M. Ingle. .1. Johnston, M.
G. Lesslie, and Mrs. S. T. V. Mason ; al.so
Messrs. L. E. Chinal. Jas. Ellis. A. F.
Piercy, I. .John Ransom and H, L.

Troyer. The following ten students of
the Evening Classes also completed their
course of study in a satisfactory way
and received Certificates :— Misses H. I.
Allum, E. A. Antliony, C. Baker, C. B.
Kelsall, A. Maude Kenyon, A. M. Mc-
Feggan, Laura A. Shepard, E.M. Tyler;
also Messrs. W. J. Hamilton and John
J. Taylor.

The Principal, Dr. Stewart, gave
parting words of counsel to the gradu-
ates, exhorting them " to continue
stedfastly in prayer and in the min-
istry of the word," Acts 6 ; 4. A most
interesting address was then given by
Baron Uixkuill, a Russian nobleman,
who is earnestly engaged in evangelistic
work among his own countrymen ; and
Rev. Alex. Esler delivered a stirring
speech on the power of the Divine Word.

Report of the Principal.

Presented to the Board op In-
corporation AND CoiiNCIL,
April 27, 1906.

At the close of tlie twelfth session of
the Toronto Bible Training School, we
have again with grateful hearts to record
another year of progress and blessing.
There has been an excellent attendance
of students, and the work carried on in
the different departments of the Institu-
tion has been much prospered. The
great design of the School has been
steadily kept in view, namely, the train-
ing of consecrated men and women in
the precious truths of God's Word, so
that they may teach others the way of
life and salvation. In a goodlj' measure
this design continues to be realized, as
our students go forth to labor in the
gospel at home and abroad.

ATTENDANCE.

In the Daj' Classes the total enrolment
of students for the session lias been sixty-
six, and in the Evening Classes two
hundred and sixty. In the Daj^ Classes
the number of young men and of young
women has been equal ; while in the
livening Classes the enrolment has been
seventy-seven young men and one hun-
dred and eighty-three young women.
Owing to the great interest and enthus-

iiisni awHkened by the Torrey-Alexandnr
CHinpaign, the ntteiiilance at the evening
lectures during January wiis smaller
than usual ; but the numbers in tli<'
different classes soon increased, and we
hope next session to welcome to the
School nut a few uf the recent conv»Mts,
who would tind the study of God's Woi d
a jjreat helj) to tlieir own spiritual life,
and a necessary preparation for eilicient
Christian service.

THE DAY CLASSKS.

The reprular lecturers in the Day Classes
have again been Dr. Harris, Mr. Mc-
Nicol, and myself. Dr. Harris has given
courses of expository lectures on Tuesday
and Thursday of each week, his sul>jects
being tlie book of .loshua and the I'irst
Epistle of Peter. My own subjects have
been the following: — Bible Doctrines,
with the Word of God as our great text-
book ; the Messianic Prophecies; Old
Testament'Tjpes and Figures; and Bible
Readings. I have also had charge
of the essays of the students and t.he
exercises in public speaking. Mr. Mc-
Nicol's subjects have been as follows : —
Outline Studies of the Books of the New
Testament ; Christian Evidences ; Studies
in the Gospels, including a special course
on the M iracles of our Lord. He has also
conducted the early morning classes in
English Grammar and Composition, and
has had a small class in New Testament
Greek. Mr. McNicol again bears testi-
mony to the diligence and fidelity- of the
students, as follows : —

"The work as a whole was highly
Satisfactory. Deep interest was shown
in all the classes, and in many cases
marked improvement coubl be seen
throughout the year."

VISITING LECTURERS.

The introductory lectures of the session
were delivered by the Rev. Alexander
Patterson, of Morgan Park, 111., a well-
known teacher and writer on Bible
themes. The first special lecturer for
this session was our friend. Rev. T.
Bradley Hj-de. of this City, who con-
ducted with the students a valuable and
instructive series of studies on "The
Person and "Work of the Holj- Spirit."'

The other special lecturer was Rev.
Alexander Esler, M A., pastor of Cooke's
Church in this city, who took as his sub-
jc' t, "Christ and the Old Testament
St riptures," on which he gave a course
of very timely and helpful addresses.
Tliese brethren have rendered a real
Service to the School, which was much
a|ipreciated.

OTMKK visrroits.

Other esteemetl friends from time to
time during the session visited the School,
and gave hel|>ful addresses. Among
these were Rev. Charles E. Hurlbert,
Director of the East African Mission, on
his way to the distant field in which he
is specially interested; Mr. .1. W. Wil-
kins and Miss E. E. Hall, two of the
Ciirly graduates of the School, who have
been laboring faitlifully in connection
with the China Inland Mission, and are
now home on furlougli ; Miss Minnie
Brimstin, another graduate, wlio has
also been at work in China under the
Women's Missionary Society of the
Methodist Church ; Mr. E. B. Biggai-,
representing the agency work of the
Canadian Bible Society ; and last but not
Irast, Rev. Thomas Bone, the veteran
Welland Canal missionary, who de-
lighted the students with his racy talk
and instructive experiences. The visits
ami addresses of all these friends were
nuich appreciated.

THE EVENIXG CI.ASSE.S.

.•Vs in previous sessions, the regular
evening classes have been lield on Tues-
day and Thursday of en di week. Dr.
Harris has given instruction on the same
sul)jects as in the Day Classes; Mr. Mc-
Nicol has conducted Studies in theGos|>el,
ad the Principal has lectured on I'ible
I'octrines. The special Monday and Fri-
day Evening Classes have also been con-
ducted by Mr. McNicol during the ses-
sion, the former, attended principally by
the young men of the Day Classes, being
engaged in a course of Homiletics. and
tlo latter in the study of the Sunday
School Ijession. In both classes there was
a good attendance, and increased interest.

TIll^: REOOliDKK.

MBDIOAL CLASSES.
Mi'dica! classes were asiiiii conducted
l>y three of the doc^tors who liave given
tho School such faithful and efficient ser-
vice in the past. I>r. Howie liad a class
in " the practice of Medicine and Pharnia-
colojjry"; and Dr. Allan Shore conducted
a course of study in " Physiology and the
Elements of Pathology." Dr. Howitt
again gave instruction on "Tropica!
Diseases" during the latter half of the
term. These medical studies are of
special value to all the students who
expect to engage in missionary work ; and
the doctors who have given such helpful
service deserve the best thanks of the
Hoard and the students for their generous
and self-denying labors.

V()t;AL MUSIC CLA.SS.

Our President, Dr. Harris, again se-
cured tlie able services of Mr. A. T.
Cringan, Mus. Bac, in conducting a
class once a week in the theory and prac.
tice of si)iging. The instruction was
much appreciated, and it cannot fail to
be of great advantage to the students in
conducting gospel services.

CLASS IN ELOCUTION.

During a considerable portion of tha
session. Miss M. A. Baker, formerly
teacher of Elocution in Albert College,
Belleville, conducted a course of instruc-
tion with the students once a week in
voice culture and reading. From her in-
terest in the principles and work of the
.School, Miss Baker kindly offered to give
her services gratuitously, and lier class
found them to be very helpful. Our best
thanks are due to Miss Baker for the
good work she has done.

EXAMINATIONS.

Writt:in examinations liave been held
twice during the session on all the cour.ses
of Bible study pursued by the Day and
Evening Classes. The minimum stand-
ing for each paper is fifty per cent., but
more tlian half the students obtained
seventy-five per cent, and upwards, and
nearly one-fourth obtained ninety per
cent, or over on most of their subjects.
Ver3- few failed to reach the prescribed

standard, so that the examinations as a
whole have been verv satisfactory. 1
could wish that a larger number of the
Evening Class students would submit to
this test.

KVANGELISTIC AND MISSIONARY .SPIRIT.

It it not too much to say that there has
been a inarked increase in Evangelistic
zeal among the students during the ses-
sion. They formed themselves into two
bands, and held numerous services in
mission halls and smaller churches of the
city. As a result of these labors in the
gospel, many instances of s|)i ritual bless-
ing were reported, while tlie students
tViemselves had an experience which must
prove a benefit to them in their future
work. The bands held meetings for
prayer and were addressed by several
well-known ministers of the City ; while
under their auspices a well-attended and
useful Conference on Evangelistic Work
was held in our Assembly Hall one after-
noon and evening, wlien methods were
discussed, and experiences given by
several friends who have been prominent
in seeking to win souls.

The missionarjr spirit continues to be
manifested among the students. There
has been an increase in the number of
Student Volunteers, both from the Day
and Evening Classes ; while the mission-
ary prayer meeting and the mission study
class have been maintained with much
profit. A most interesting union mission-
ary service was held under the auspices
of the students, at which addresses were
given by returned missionaries from
India, China and Africa. The School
was also represented at the great Student
Volunteer Convention held in Nashville.
Tenn., by our President, Dr. Harris, and
by three members of the Day Classes :—
Miss L. Armstrong, Miss J. Dale, and
Mr. H. L. Troyer.

ENTEKKD ON .SERVICE.

Since last annual meeting. Miss Alma
Schofield, who took the full course of
study in our Evening Classes, has gone

appointed to the position of Field Secre-
tary' of the Women's Foreign Mission
Society of the State of Michigan. In
addition to these, not a few of our stu-
dents— nearly twenty in all — have just
been appointed to destitute Home Mis-
sion tields in New Ontario, Quebec, Mani-
toba and the North-West. Others will
be emploj'ed as Bible women, nurses,
Y.M.C.A. secretaries, Bible and Tract
Society colporteurs, and in other spheres
of Christian usefulness, where we hope
that much blessing will attend theii*
labors.

DEATHS.

During the year, two of the students,
who gave great promise of usefulness and
devotion in Christian service, have been
called away from earth. One of them,
Miss Annie Perry, died last November in
the hospital in Port Arthur, as the result
of a serious surgical operation. The
other was Mr. Harry E. Smedlej', of this
city, who, after a period of study with
us, was accepted for Mission work in
Northern Nigeria, where, after a year of
earnest and faithful toil, he contracted
one of the malarial fevers prevalent in
the countrj-, and had to return to this
city to die. Both of these young friends
enjoj'ed the fullest confidence of their
instructors and fellow-students, and th' ir
memory will long be held in the higl;i.-st
esteem. Another sei-ious loss was sus-
tained in thedeatli of Ladj' Gowan, wife

of Sir James Gowan of Karrie, a well-
known Senator of the Dominion. Lady
Gowau WHH a warm frien<l and Ruppurti-r
of the School from its beginning. She
w,is sincerely and intelligently altachod
to the evangelical principles for which
0111 institution has always stood, and
she abounded in every good work. May
the God of all grace be tlie stay and com-
fort of her aged husband in his liereave-
nient; and nuiy others be laised \ip to
take the j)lace8 of those who rest from
their labors.

CONCI.UDINU RKMARKS.

From this simi)le report of the work
accom|)lished by the Toronto Bible Train-
ing School during another year, it can-
not be doubted that the blessing of God
has continued to rest upon it. Students
of former years, from every ((uarter of
the world, are bearing their testimony to
tlie great benefit they still find from the
Bible training they received in its classes,
and some of them are shewing their ap-
preciation by contributing of their slender
resources to its support. For the testi-
mony also which it bears to the inspira-
tion and .supreme authority of God's
Word — a testimony all tlie more needed
in these days of growing departure from
the truth— our institution may well
claim the earnest prayers and practical
sympathy of all who desire to hold fast
and hold fortli the Word of Life.

A personal reference may be allowed
ere I close. By the goodness of God 1
hiive been enabled during the session to
discharge the duties devolving upon ma
as Principal without interruption from
ill-health, and witli a large measure of
comfort and satisfaction. Indeed, it is
not too much to say that the twelve years
of my connection with the Institution
have been the happiest, and I trust have
not been the least fruitful, of ray service
for Christ. But for many reasons, chief
ftinong which are the future progress and
prosperity of this great work, I still feel
strongly the necessity of securing relief
from some of my duties and responsibili-
tii'S. May the Board and Council be
iJivinelj- guided in making the very best
arrangements. God has been so very

THK RECORDER.

njracious to \i8 in tlu> past, that we cannot
doubt He will continue to care for our
heloveil School, and in His g^iod Provi-
(leiuu! will supply nil itsnowlsof men and
uu'aus for the day^ that are to come.
Therefore to Him do we again confidently
commit it, with the earnest prayer, " Es-
tablish Thou the work of our hands u|)On
us : yea, the work of our hands establisli
Thou it."

Respectfully submitted,

WILLIAM STEWAliT.

Dr. Stewart's Resignation.

At the recent annual meetinp; of the
Board of Incorporation and General
Council, the following preamble and re-
solutions in regard to Dr. Stewart's re-
signation of the principalship and services
to the School were unanimously adopted :

Moved by Rev. Dr. R. P. Mackay.
seconded by Mr. J. D. Nasmith, and
supported by President Harris, Rev. Dr.
McTavish and others.

A letter was read from Rev. Dr. Stew-
art, tendering his resignation as Prin-
cipal of the Toronto KibleTrainingScliool,
owing to the fact that, with advancing
years, the steadily increasing lesponsi-
bilities of the position had become somp--
what burdensome; but specially, because
in his judgment, the time had come when
a younger man should be selected, who
might become qualified at an early date
to discharge the duties of the Principal-
ship.

Dr. Stewart further expressed his
willingness to continue to perform the
duties of his office, in whole or in part,
until a suitable man is chosen, and to
leave himself entirely in the hands of the
Board, to be used by them as might be
deemed best in the interests of the School.

In accepting this resignation, the
Board record their high sense of the
value of Dr. Stewart's services during the
twelve years of his ministry as Principal.

In the administration of the affnirs of
the School, and espeiially in the qualitj'
and method of the Bible instruction im-
parted to thehundieds of students who
have passed through his hands during
these years, a work has been accomplished
that has not only justified the existence
of the School, but will have a far-reach-
ing influence that Eternity alone can
reveiil.

With love and loyalty to the School
and to the truth, Dr. Stewart has given

himself unsparingly to the work, and
with such results as must be an abiding
gratilication to himself as well as to the
fri(>iids of the Institution.

The Board would further express their
appreciation of Dr. Stewart's willingness
to place his services at their disposal to
be used in such a way as will best facili-
tate the securing of a successor or other-
wise promote the interests of the School.

Dr. Stewart's ability as a Bil>le teacher,
as well as liis knowledge of details, ac-
quired througli years of experience, is so
valuable an asset that the Board gladly
accepts this offer of service to be applied
in such departments as the requirements
of the School may demand, and his
strength maj' allow.

The prayer of the Board is that Dr.
Stewart may be permitted to share in the
work of the School for many days to come,
and that the evening of life may be
greatly enriched by the personal experi-
ence of that Divine and living Word he
has so diligently and faithfully sought to
interpi-et toothers.

In pursuance of these resolutions, it is
expected that Dr. Stewart will Ije relieved
of (certain duties connected with the in-
ternal administration of the School, and
that Mr. McNicol, who has rendered very
efficient service as Instructor for four
years, and greatli^ endeared himself to
all bj^ his Christian character and devo-
tion, will be appointed Principal. Dr.
Stewart will also be relieved of a certain
part of his work of teaching, Dr. Harris
kindly taking one of his day classes, and
other arrangements being contemplated
for one of the evening classes. It is pro-
bable that Dr. Stewart will act as Secre-
tary of the School, and in other ways
will seek to advance its interests. It is
contemplated also, during the coming
session, to secure the services of some
well-known visiting lecturers, so as to
increase public interest, and add to the
efficiency and success of the Institution .

The new Catalogue and Announce-
ment of the School will be published early
in July, giving full particulars about In-
structors, Lecturers and Courses of Study
for next session. Copies may be obtained
on application to Miss A. Buiiis, the
Assistant Secretary. 110 College Street.
Toronto, or to any officer of the School.

Notes

The new session of the Toronto Bible
Training School will open (D.V.) on
Tuesday, September 18th. 1906, at 10a.m.

It is verj' important that all students,
especially those who are entering the
School for the first time, should be pre-
sent at the beginning of the session.

The students who are remaining in
Toronto during the summer months have
arranged to hold a prayer meeting every
Tuesday evening in the hall of the Mis-
sion Union, Laplante Ave.

Miss M. Gofokth, Miss E. Arnold and
Miss E. Sprague will be engaged in
the Nursing-at-Home Mission of this
city, and Miss Grace Brooking is likely
to offer her services to the China Inland
Mission.

Three of last session's students,.
Messrs Louis Chinal, J.J. McLeod and
W. J. Burton, expect to enter definitely
on Y.M.C.A. work. The' first of these
would like to labor in India, where he
lived for many years.

Miss Maud West, who graduated in
1902, has been since engaged in Mi.'ssion-
ary service in South America. She has
recently entered on a new spheie of labor
in Santa Cruz. Argentina, and is much
encouraged in her work.

Mr. J. J. McLeod. one of our Y.M.C.A.
students of last term, has gone to Havana
Cuba, to take part in tlie work of the
Y.M.C.A. of that city. He has gone
out under the auspices of the West Side
Y M.C.A. of New York City.

The Toronto Bible Training School has
always been a strictly missionary and
inter-denominational College, 'i'his last
session eleven different Christian denom-
iriations have been represented in its
faculty and student body.

Two or three ladies who liave taken
the full course of Bible study with us.
are ready to engage in service as Bil)le

women, pastor's assistants, or Sunday
School missionaries. Any friends desir-
ing such helpers should correspond with
Dr. Stewart.

Messrs I.J. Ransom, A. F. Piercy,
J. Sampson and Chas. Smith will be en-
gaged in colportage work by 'the Tract
Society, and Mr. George Tester will labor
for the Bible Society.

Mr. a. M. Shannon has been appointed
to a Home Mission field in Manitoba, and
Mr. James Ellis has received a similar
appointment in Northern Ontario, while
Mr. C. P. England will preach in the
Province of Quebec, Mr. H.L. Troyer in
the County of Grey, Ont., and Mr. R. A.
Walmsley is appointed to Milberta.
