• On the following slides, you will see a quote, song lyric, or excerpt from the text.
• You will be called upon in a random, pre-determined fashion and will need to answer the question.
• Since you all should have read the text by now, you will be allowed to use your book but get no help from classmates.
• If you answer the question incorrectly, you can pick one person from the class to save you (however, the same student cannot be used more than once in the saving process for the entire class).

“When next I realized that the Philippines had dropped into our laps, I confess I did not know what to do with them…I went down on my knees and prayed Almighty God for light and guidance. …And one night late it came to me this way. …That there was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and to educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize and Christanize them and by God’s grace do the very best we could by them, as our fellow men, for whom Christ also died.
