The Women of the Arabs

CHAPTER VII
9/41

One of the assistant pupils, (Lulu,) who has been relied upon for much of the teaching, and superintendence of the scholars, was married last autumn to the senior tutor of the Abeih Seminary.

The number of pupils now in the school is fifteen.

The communication of Biblical and religious knowledge has been a main object of this school.
All the pupils, as a daily lesson, study the Assembly's Shorter Catechism, first in Arabic with proof-texts, and afterwards in English with Baker's Explanatory Questions and Scripture proofs, and they are taught a brief Historical Catechism of the Old and New Testaments.

The first of proper school hours every day is occupied with the Scriptures by all the school.

The Epistles to the Hebrews and the Romans formed the subject of these lessons until the autumn, when Mr.Calhoun's revised edition of the "Companion to the Bible" was adopted as a text-book, and the Old Testament has been studied in connection with that work.
