Three speakers. Miss Mar> Bennetts, Miss Daphne Wood and Mr Beckingsale, gave their impressions of a “Spring School” held at (tore for Bible Class leaders and Sunday School teachers, which they recently had the privilege of attending. An outline of the 1 varied programme during the four days, was given •<y Miss Bennetts. The mornings

were spent in “Study Circles” followed by an address dealing with the Study Book which was entitled “The Prophet Jeremiah”—interesting because of Hie similarity between times in which he lived and our own day. Bach afternoon was free for long walks or rousing sports. A cultural” session was a feature ot each evening. These sessions were intended to stimulate enthusiasm in music, literature, dramatic art and folk dancing -lc. Opportunity was given at various times for general discussion of S.S. and B.C. work and problems. Each day was brought to in very fitting conclusion by a lime of praise and prayer during 'The Close of Day” period. A happy atmosphere was very evident during the “School,” bright singing during and between meetings was most enjoyable, and those who had been able to attend were very much helped by the four days at “Spring School.” Miss Daphne Wood sang the hymn “Wonderful Love’” and •liter a short time had been spent n Chain Pray* r the Benediction was pronounced t 0 close the meeting.
