Behold What Gt
lid. James A. Uryt
Five year ago in the mountain section
where I am now conducting special
evangelistic services, there was no Sunday
school, no day school, no missionary,
no church. The children were

life. Also, nearly all the grown people
were hopeless and without Jesus. A
day and Sunday school were started
under a Sycamore tree.
The next year in answer to the
prayers and as reward of Dr. Guerranit,
of the Soul Winners' Society, a large
school building was constructed. One
assembly hail up stairs and four recitations
rooms down stairs.
A hravc old Scotch-Irish mountaineer
gave the beautiful campus of six acres,
and then his heart and life to Jesus,
and all his children and grandchildren
have done the same, four generations
in this time.
Five other buildings have been added
to the original plant. The property is
worth $>20,000 when the hospital, which
will be such a blessing to these poor
people, is completed.
Four years ago the writer, at the kind
invitation of Dr. Guerrant, was permitted
to work with him at Puncheon
Camp, Breathitt county, Kentucky, the
location of this now great school. In
a week's time Christ was admitted into
the hearts of many of these poor, but
brave people.
West I^exington Presbytery, through
its commissioners, organized a Presbyterian
church of thirty-five members,
called Highland Presbyterian churoh.
Since that time many others from the
Rcbnol. wV>n "have hpp.n wall trnlnpd In
Bible courses taught by consecrated
teachers, directed by Professor and Mrs
C. E. Wells, have confessed Christ, and
after careful examinations, have beer

GOOD HEWS FROM THE LEES MACRAE
INSTITUTE.
For more than twelve months I have
had the conviction that the time has
come when a high school department
of the l^ees MacRae Institute at BanTil*
sMiorVit fn Via act oKl loliorl ortrl
r.vi 11. i rv wugiiv vv uv \.oi.?ai/iioiivu uuu
that the present graded school should
be kept as it now is, and made a kind
of oreparatory department for the high
school. I have not said anything about
this publicity, for two reasons. One
was I wanted to be absolutely certain
that this conviction was born of good
sound Judgment, and not mere enthusiasm.
The other was for personal
icascns, that need not be mentioned
here, that made it clear that the time
was not opportunte for undertaking
this additional responsibility.
But with tihe closing months of 1912
everything seemed to point in one direction.
So a few weeks ago I submitted
a paper on this subject to several
men who are more or less familiar,
from personal observation, with the
i-uuuiuuiis hs vuey exist in connection
with the Lees Macliae .'Institute. A few
extracts from this peaper are as fol(
lows: "As the original primary school
prepared the way for the present In^
stitution, so it in turn, has prepared
the way for a higher sohool. The
L mountain country needs such an higih
, school for many reasons. Among them
. may bo mentioned: the need of better
ofTlcers and teachers in the ohurches
, and Sunday schools; the increasing
number of boys and girls who having
? completed the course in the nresent
} school, or In other primary schools, de(
sire to continue their studies, but are
unable to go to expensive schools and
, colleges; the rapid material development
of the mountain country which
demands a corresponding increase in
t the facilities for intellectual development;
and finally the natural incentive
of such a school to increase diligence
on the part of those in the present institution
to prepare themselves for
higher education.
\
i "The farm whirih now supplies fresh
vegitables, fruit r.nd milk for the Institute
could be made to winniv
pame for the high school also. The
( electric plant -will furnish ample .power
for lighting all the (buildings of both
schools. The hospital, already established
and the services of the doctor In
charge, will he available for both the
high school and the present Institution.
"The advantages of the summer term
for a mountain school have been fully
demonstrated In the Lees MacRae Instlute.
Therefore the high school session,
like that of the Institute, would
begin In April and close In December.

rrade. It is proposed, therefore, that
*he successful completion of this
course, or its equivalent in some other
school of Rood standing, be made the
?ntrance requirement of the high
school. This enlarged course, for a
smaller number of pupils will necessarily
involve larger expense. It is,
therefore, proposed to charge the present
rate of the Lees MacRae Institute,
or one hundred and twelve dollars for
>
[January 15, 1913
board and tuition for eight months'
term.
"All the needs of the proposed high
school may be provided for in one large
building; and it is estimated, 'with the
abundant supply of materials at hand
and comparatively cheap labor this
building can be erected for about eight
thousand dollars. One thousand dolIfiro
nf 4Vt4a cum (a tn Vnnlr Un ?
ing been provided for this very purpose."
I requested these parties to give me
their candid opinion as to the advisability
of the proposed high school.
Their replies -were as follows: "I know
of no kchool that showB larger results
for so little cost, or that has brighter
prospects for future usefulness than
the Lees MacRae institute. . . .
The friends who have hitherto contributed
liberally to the support of this
school may well congratulate themselves
on the record of its accomplishments
and may be assured of the gratitude
of those who have profited by their
gifts. The arguments for the establishment
of a high school are apparently
based on sound reasons, which will not
only apeal to old friends, but 'will also
enlist the hearty co-operation of new
ones. 1 heartily commend the movement"?B.
F. Hall.
"I am heartily in favor of your
scheme for a high school in connection
with the Lees MacRae Institute. You
have created the necessity for such an
institution, and the usefulness of the
l>ees MacKae Institute, it seems to me.
will be seriously handicapped -without
