VISITING CHICAGO THINGS
WORTH SEEING "A DAY AT
THE MOODY BIBLE INSTI
, TUTE." '
it
;
A trip to Chicago would no doubt be
considered incomplete by many people
Interested in active Christian work,
without visiting: the Moody Bible In
stitute. This institution founded by
-the world-wide evangelist, D. L.
Moody, in 1886, is located about eight
blocks north of the center of the city,
near the corner of Chicago avenue and
north La Salle street The main
' building faces on Institute Place,
named in honor of the school.
The visitor finds a cordial welcome
at the Institute, and is furnished a
guide who directs him about the build
ings and explains the different depart
ments, and the daily life of the stu
dent body.
Upon entering the main building,
the visitor is impressed with the
stained glass window at the head of
the first landing, . illustrating the
eower striding across the plowed field
sowing broadcast the seed. This is
intended to be an object lesson to the
students of what is expected of them
during the time of their training and
throughout their lives..
On the main floor the visitor is
shown the library, the missionary mu
seum, the lecture hall, and the ac
counting and printing departments.
On the went wall of the corridor he
finds the names of over 750 students
who have gone to foreign fields a
roll of honor. Passing down stairs, he
next visits . the power and heating
plant, and the steam laundry, where
all the laundry of the students is done
at half price.
Through en underground tunnel,
across Institute Place, the visitor
reaches the men's building, with its
gymnasium and dormitories. Then
comes the women's building with its
large dining hall and kitchen, the
Massey Chapel, reception room and
dormitories for women. Visitors are
impressed with the warm, home-like
atmosphere of the Institute. The stu
dents with the faculty, constitute one
big family. Over 500 are seated in
the dining hall at each meal the wom
en students occupy one side, the men
occupy the other, and the faculty are
seated in the center.
In the early morning, before break
fast, each student observes "The
Quiet Hour" in personal Bible reading
and prayer. After breakfast, while
still gathered at the tables, a heart-to-heart
talk or a Bible exposition is
given by some member of the faculty
or some visiting pastor, evangelist or
missionary.
At 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning of
each week the first general class con
venes, and the entire forenoon of each
day is devoted to lectures and class
room work. Some lectures are given
in the afternoon, but a good part of
the time each afternoon and evening
is devoted to study and practical
Christian work according to assign
ments made. Following the evening
meal, fellowship meetings are held in
the different buildings.
Proper consideration is also given
to wholesome recreation. Monday is
always taken as a rest day. The gym
nasium in the winter and the tennis
courts in the summer, with an 'oc
casional excursion on Lake Michigan,
r a visit to some park, afford proper
exercise for those who feel the need
of it. At the beginning of each term
& reception is given for new students.
In these and other ways, the students
at the Moody Bible Institute find
themselves continually in a wholesome
Christian atmosphere, which is con
ducive to physical, intellectual and
spiritual development.
As the visitor watches the 700 or
more students of the day classes and
the 300 or more of the evening classes
and then thinks of over 3000 men and
women taking the correspondence
courses, with residences in all parts
of the world, he begins to realize that
Dwight L. Moody, the founder of the
Institute, was a man of faith, vision
and purpose, and that those who fol
low in his steps are following in the
light direction. The visitor leaves
the Institute with fresh courage for
his own life, and the conviction that
life is really worth while if spent in
the right way. .
Value of the "Nurse.
New York, July 28. (Special)
The practical business value of the
industrial nurse, a comparatively
new member of the profession, is well
illustrated by a recent incident in a
big factory in the suburbs of this
city.
The nurse employed at the plant
found she was called upon to dress
five or six crushed fingers a day. That
meant much loss of time by employes
and attendant cost to the company, to
say nothing of the humane side of
it. The nurse investigated and found
these accidents all occurred at the
'"foot-tappers", a bolt-threading ma
chine worked with a pedal. The
threads of these machines had worn
so smooth that the operators' feet
frequently slipped off. Whenever
that occurred a part of the apparatus
would swing down with unexpected
suddenness and catch the hand of the
operator.
The nurse reported this fact, had
the defect in the machines remedied
and now has to attend to only one or
two injured fingers a month.
This is only one illustration of a
thousand ways in which scientific
care of the welfare cf employes saves
money for employers.
