EARL B. CARR

By Earl B. Carr

A New Scholarship Plan.—The eyes of many of our youth open wide, and their interest is instantly aroused, when this announcement is read. What is it? how is it obtained? are the first questions that come into mind. Enterprising youth are wide-awake to every opening for achievement, and make good that invaluable maxim, “Grasp Opportunity by the fore-lock.”

Another surprise awaits the interested youth. This scholarship includes not only tuition, but also board and room free,—after turning in the proceeds from the sale of the books,—and the student is at liberty to take full work, and devote his whole time to his studies, instead of having to work five hours a day during school, and having time to take only half of the regular school work. There is, however, one other consideration,—in order that the student may better protect his health, and become more proficient in his lessons, one hour’s manual work is required by our academies and colleges. This hour’s work is included in the scholarship; and for this work, of course the student receives no remuneration.

Something is now seen that is of deeper interest and import. This scholarship is offered only on literature having the message that is to go to the world in these last days. We have learned from the spirit of prophecy that the

selling of these books is missionary work of the highest order. Thus the scholarship is twofold in its design.

The membership of our academies and colleges is to be increased; there are to be more in the service of the tract societies, and the ranks in the conferences are to be widened. By these, and through these, the warning of this world is to be accomplished. This work is now going by leaps and bounds.

For these reasons, academy and college, conference and tract society, have agreed to put every inducement, every opportunity, and every privilege, before us to encourage us to enter this work. Here are educational advantages that have no parallel. Get them now; for they will not last long. Soon our schools will be closed; soon our work will be stopped.

You can earn a scholarship. Determine now to do so. It has been done by others. There is no more positive proof of this than that of living testimony. You can do efficient service for the Master. Do not be a rolling stone that gathers no moss. Let us strike while the iron is hot.
