Ministerial Reading Course

By J. L. SHAW

The Reading Course for 1915 consists of four books and the magazine Christian Education. The books in the Reading Course are as follows: “Medical Science of Today,” by Wilmott Evans, M. D.; “Gospel Workers” (new edition), by Mrs. E. G. White; “The Minister as Shepherd,” by Chas. Edward Jefferson; and “History of the Ancient World,” by George Stephen Goodspeed.

The magazine Christian Education will serve as the organ of the Ministerial Reading Course, and will contain a department known as The Ministry, which will carry the schedule of reading, suggestive notes on the subject matter of books in the course, and such hints and helps to the ministry as shall seem useful.

To those who are members of the Ministerial Reading Course the price of the four books and the magazine is $5; the regular price is $6.40.

Those members of the course who read the four books for 1915, and file a statement to that effect with the Educational Department, will receive an annual credit card. The Ministerial Reading Course during the next four years will carry on a suitable sequence of reading along the following lines: Homiletics, devotion, history, science, and education. The readers from year to year will therefore be reading to a definite plan, specially arranged for the improvement of gospel workers along the lines indicated. At the end of five years, including 1914, a certificate will be issued to those who each year obtain an annual credit card, showing that they have read the books assigned.

Further information concerning the Reading Course, the books for this year, and terms, will be found in the Educational department of this issue. All letters and orders for books should be sent to the General Conference Department of Education. J. L. SHAW.
