Notes
"WHENCE CAME OUR BIBLE ? "
On the five Monday evenings of November, the pastor is to give a - series of talks on the Bible, aiming to present a rational, usable view
?
303
Central Congregational Church
of its character, origin - divine and human - and the best way to use it.
These talks are planned especially for the benefit of our Bible School teachers, but the doors will be opened for any who are interested.
The Central Congregational Bible School
The preliminary steps have been taken to unite the Morning and Noon Bible Schools into one. Friday, October 2, the officers and teachers of the Noon School voted to extend an invitation to the Morning School to unite with them. Monday, October 5, the Church Committee voted to approve whatever action seemed wise to the officers and teachers of the two schools. Sunday, October 18, the officers and teachers of the Morning School voted to accept the invita- tion extended by the Noon School.
The uniting of the two schools will actually take place, and the Central Congregational Bible School will become a fact, as soon as the details of the class arrangement can be attended to.
This action has become inevitable by reason of the changed condi- tion under which the work of the Morning School has been carried on for some time. While to many it is a source of sincere regret that any change should be necessary, yet the wisdom of the new plan has ap- proved itself to a large majority of our people, and is accepted by all in a spirit of Christian loyalty to the interests of our work as a whole.
This spirit of loyalty, which has been the open secret of the success of the Central Church in the past, is the pledge of larger and better service in the future in our Bible School work.

Notes
The sermon this evening presents an entirely new phase of Christ's character and work, - Jesus, our Judge. Yet it is a feature of his work which is vital to a complete knowledge of him.
The hearts of our people go out in tenderest sympathy to Dr. Eldridge Mix and his daughter in their great sorrow at the death of Mrs. Mix. Dr. Mix, during his pastorate from 1882 to 1890, was a Messenger of Consolation to many homes in Central Church and we all pray that strength and comfort may be granted to him in full measure in his time of need.
