Berean Industrial School, Malaga, Wash.
By L. I. Stiles
THIS school opened as an intermediate school, Oct. 5, 1908, with twenty-six students enrolled. Since that time, twelve others have entered the school, making an enrollment of thirty-eight. Several more are expected in a few days. The Lord has blessed us with a good, earnest class of students, who seem to be anxious to learn, and are doing good work. We have a class of five in the tenth grade, who are working with such energy and enthusiasm that good results are sure to follow. We can also praise the Lord for a good spiritual interest. Nearly all voices are heard regularly in the prayer and social meetings. Those who have never given themselves to the Lord seem to have their hearts subdued and softened as they study the Bible and nature lessons. The addition to the schoolhouse has been erected, and is being used by the church-school department, but there is finishing work that should be done at once. We need more funds to complete the work, and trust the Lord will impress our brethren to help. We also need books for use in the school, such as an encyclopedia, Bible dictionary, concordance, “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,” Jones’s histories, “Great Controversy,” and “Testimonies for the Church.” Those who have books which they can donate to the library, will please correspond with the principal. We also ask the prayers of God’s people, that the work started here may go forward to his honor and glory.
