Prizes for Anchrs. __.__‘._.‘_- The Gazette has secured the right to publish the International Sunday School Jesson questions by the Rev. Dr. Lin- scott, which have aroused so much inâ€" terest elsewhere, and they will appear weekly. One of these questions each week is to be answered in writing, and uponthese answers prizes will be auta-‘r‘d- ed. This paper is- also authorized to form a Leeal Ncu'spaper Bible Study Club for its readers, and guarantees to allwho join and fulfil the conditions, that everything herein promised shall be faithfully carried out. Persons mayjoin the club at any time during the year, but must, of course, answer the 5'2. questions hereinafter ex- plained", to qualify for the prizes. It is, however, desirable that the questions be answered as the lessons are studied. The International Newspaper Bible Study Club, which had its origin last y'ear’at Brantl‘ord, Ont., is for the pur- pose of promoting, in an unfettered way among the masses, a wider study of the Bible, the baser truths of Christianity, and the problems which enter into every man’s life. It is composed of all those who join'a local club and take up the simple course outlined herein, barring only ordained c‘lergymen. We have the sympathetic co-operation of the latter, but it is not considered fair to have them compete for the prizes. Sunday School teachers, Bible class-scholars, and church goers generally may belong to this news- paper club, also nomehurchgocrs of all shades of opinion. All such are warmly invited. to join and compete for the prizes. CONDITIONS OI“ TIIE CONTEST. 1. Each contestant, or his or her fam- ily, must be a paidâ€"up subscriber to this paper during the continuance of the con~ test in order to qualify for membership in the International Newspaper Bible Study Club and this Local Club. Each contestant in this Local Club must answer each of the written ques- tions for 52 consecutive weeks, com- mencing for Sunday, July 26th, and the answers must all be in the possession of this paper within two weeks after the close of the contest. 3. Each question must be answered" separately, and the paper written on one side only. No answer must exceed 200 words, and may be less. If possible, write on letter paper, size about 8% by 1&1 inches. 4. Each answer must have the name and address of the writer at the bottom of the answer, so it can be identified, given a number, registered, and then the name cut off so the examiner may know it by number only. 5. Students should be careful-to under stand the question before answering. To do this the lesson text must be read, and especially the verse or verses upon which the question is based. 6. The answers for this local club must be delivered at this ollice, and they will be collated at the close of the con- test and forwarded to headquarters for independent examination by competent examiners. The prizes will then be awarded according to the highest numâ€" ber of marks won by members of the , International Newspaper Bible Study Club, and prizes which may be awarded to members of this Local Club will be given out from this ollice.
