A Special Course of Study for Christian Workers

It has been decided to offer a special course at the Southern Training-school, Graysville, Tenn., beginning Jan. 28, 1908, and continuing twelve weeks.

There are ministers and many others now laboring in different departments of our denominational work who feel the need of a more thorough preparation. There are others who would be glad to become workers could they have the advantage of a few weeks' special training.

This brief course is designed to meet the needs of these classes; and the work will be planned and given in such a manner as to offer the greatest good in the least time at the least expense. The following branches will be studied:—

Bible—A careful review of the different phases of doctrinal truth, especially with regard to presenting it to others.

History—A study of those portions of history that will be found of special aid in the study of the prophecies.

Language—Reading and spelling, correct forms, composition and letter writing, reporting, public speaking, etc.

Music—A careful study of hymns as relates to singing, adapting to occasion, reading, analyzing, etc. Organ lessons can also be taken if desired.

Physiology and Hygiene—A study of the human body and its organic functions, care of the body, how and what to eat, simple remedies for physical ailments.

Canvassing—A careful study of books and papers to be sold. How to meet the people. Keeping accounts.

Lectures—Frequent lectures will be given on missions, Young People's work, organization and conduct of Sabbath-schools, Bible themes, and other practical subjects.

A leaflet will soon be published giving details as regards expenses, program, etc.

It is earnestly hoped and confidently expected that many will desire to avail themselves of the advantages this course will offer. We would be pleased to receive the names and addresses of all such, and will send the announcement to them as soon as it is ready. Address J. E. Tenney, Graysville, Tenn.
