RESBYTERIAN OF THE SOUTI
Round-Table Plai
By Edwin A. 1
This is the time when every wide
awake Y. P. S. C. E. is making plans
for its winter's work in Bible study.
The various courses offered are excellent,
and so far as possible, a class
should be organized in each society.
It will be found, however, that when
this is dnno t hnro will etHl Ka ?*???*?
<U uvuv, buvtv nut Ollll UC liiailj
societies without classes, and many
members in societies that have a class
who are not included in the class. It
is the aim of the ROUND-TABLE work
to meet these conditions. The plan is
this: Place in the hands of each one
present at the devotional meeting a
copy of a set of questions similar to the
specimen set below. The next Sunday
evening take ten or twelve minutes
from the devotional hour, ask the questions,
and give out slips for the following
week.
The plan has several advantages
over any other. It reaches every member
or attendant, the majority of whom
could not be induced to join a class
that met during the week. Young
and timid members who insist that
mej can noi uiKe pan. are surprised to
And themselves taking part.
The work covers the Old Testament
in four terms of twelve weeks each.
The student who follows the course
must use his Bible, and become somewhat
familiar with it. Almost any
society can spare ten minutes from its
devotional hour for the sake of those
who otherwise will be without systematic
Bible study.
The price puts the course within
reach of all. The question slips will
be sent, postpaid, as follows:
3 mos. 6 mos. 9 mos. 1 yr.
10 copies $ .50 $ .75 $1.00 $1.25
25 copies 1.00 1.50 2.00 2.50
35 copies 1.25 1.90 2.50 3.10
50 copies 1.50 2.25 3.00 3.75
Hundreds of letters of appreciation
have been received. Do you not believe
the plan is worth a trial? If so,
this is the best time to begin.

We find them very helpful. They interest
so many of our younger people who
could not be persuaded to take any part
in a study class that was conducted in
the regular way. Our attendance has
been much better since we began this
study and we feel that we are ad\ancing.
We wish to thank you for the help they
have been to us.
