PHYSICAL CULTl 'RE. While it is true that our school re-

fuses to fol low the craze of athletic sports, it by no means places a discount on proper physical culture.

Health and the best exercise of the mental and spiritual powers make a systematic physical culture imperative.

W e hope to develop a healthful sys-tem of physical exercise, and a com-pliance to these requirements will be necessary to graduate in any course.

GOVERNMENT. The Golden Rule shall be the key-

note of government and discipline. Every student is placed on his or her

honor and is expected, without specific prohibition or command, to behave in a proper manner.

The school management must insist upon a deportment that will be a credit to the institution, and will comport with the name it bears—Messiah Bible School and Missionary Training Home.

Students are required to abstain from the use of intoxicants, drugs and tobacco; from gambling of every form, hazing, profanity, and all forms of con-duct unbecoming to Christian ladies and gentlemen.

Familiarity between the sexes will not be allowed beyond what is con-sistent with the school curriculum.

Students are required to attend chapel services each day, unless dis-abled by sickness, or by permission.

Students, especially those rooming and boarding in the school, are expect-ed to attend at least one religious ser-vice on Lord 's day.

Students desiring to leave the prem-ises or jurisdiction of the school can only do so by securing permission from the faculty.

Organizations of any kind not tol-erated without the consent of the faculty.

Morning worship fol lowing breakfast. The devotional life of the institution

shall be a chief feature and receive spe-cial emphasis.

Passing cards from other standard schools will be recognized i» any of the different courses taught.

Entrance is permissible at any time. Prospective students contemplating tak-ing any of the respective courses should register at the opening of the school year.

LOCATION.

Harrisburg, Pa., with its environ-ments, furnishes ample opportunities for practical missionary work.

The State and city libraries, which are available to all, furnish exceptional opportunities for reading matter such as is not found in any city of equal size.

The School is located on an imposing elevation (No. 46 N. Twelfth street) directly opposite the State capitol, over-looking the metropolis.

The city also has good street-car and interurban systems which greatly increase traveling facilities.

The sanitation and health of the city is above the average, having 57 miles of paved streets with more in course of construction.

The school is only a short walk from the railroad stations.

Students who are not accustomed to traveling, and especially ladies, should notify the secretary of the faculty of their coming and hour of arrival, and the name of railroad, and some one will meet them.

No pains will be spared to throw safe-guards about the students, and cause them to feel natural and at home.

For further information and cir-culars address Enos H. Hess, 4 6 N. Twelfth street, Harrisburg, Pa.
