Ministerial Reading Course

This course for 1915 is now drawing toward its close. We have received quite a number of reports from readers who have already completed the course for this year, and all are looking forward with much interest to the course for 1916. The Educational Department is presenting to the autumn council recommendations on the reading for next year, and as soon as these are acted on, due announcement will be made.

The following letter that has just come in is a fair sample of what our readers are saying about the benefits of this course:—

“I received the new ‘Gospel Workers’ on the fourteenth of August. Since then I have carefully studied it through, marking many places of special interest to me. I had before this studied the old ‘Gospel Workers’ through twice, and I thought it could not be improved upon; but I have come to the conclusion that this new book is much more helpful to the workers.

“I sincerely appreciate the work of those who have labored in compiling this work. I am sure that Sister White was inspired to write these good things, and I am just as sure that the Lord gave much heavenly wisdom to those who arranged the subjects in this book. They have aimed at making a book that would be most helpful to our workers, and they have hit the mark. I am especially pleased with the helps for further study at the close of each section.

“In short, I am enjoying my Ministerial Reading Course very much, and if the Lord will help me, I will never give it up. I have already read once through the ‘History of the Ancient World,’ the next book in our course, but I plan to read it carefully through once more before reporting on it.”
