Description
"The advanced class in the Canton Bible School - 1933. Fourteen are in the school. Each spends at least three hours a day in actual Bible classes. George Benson P. O. Box 53 Canton, China." A group photograph of students who attended the Canton Bible School. George Benson, American missionary to China from Churches of Christ, established the Canton Bible School in 1930, initially offering a six-week Bible course.

The school closed in 1938 when foreign missionaries were forced out of Guangzhou as the Imperial Japanese Army occupied the city.
