The Southern Training-School
By J. E. TENNEY
Those who are interested in the advancement of the cause of truth in the earth, and especially in the Southern States, will be glad to learn of the prosperity that is attending the Southern Training-school, located at Graysville, Tenn. This school has for its special mission the training of young people for missionary work. Of course it is exclusively for white students, the school for colored workers being located at Huntsville, Ala. Upon these two schools rests a great responsibility, and well might those connected with them become discouraged were it not for the fact that the schools are of God’s planting, and he will certainly exercise for these institutions a fostering care. The enrolment of the Southern Training-school is now about ninety, which is over thirty in excess of what it was one year ago. With many of the students this is the first year in the school, but no one can doubt that the providence of God has brought them here. It is quite remarkable that so many comparative strangers to the school should be brought together and all unite heartily in carrying out the principles of the school. At the present writing many of our students are engaged in the sale of our literature in the vicinity of the school and neighboring villages. The spiritual condition of the school is encouraging, and we look forward to the time when many of those who are now in training shall become active laborers for God and humanity. A higher grade of literary work is being done the present year than ever before, and it is expected that a large class will complete the work of the school the present year.
