Southern Training School, Graysville, Tenn.
By M. B. Van Kirk
PROMPTLY at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, September 29, the opening voluntary was rendered in the training-school chapel, which was comfortably filled with students and interested spectators. The program for the day was rather informal, and was participated in by representatives from the sanitarium, the school, the church, and several visiting ministerial brethren. About two hours' time was devoted to informal speeches and songs, then the congregation was dismissed, and the enrolment of the school completed, which was very gratifying in regard to numbers. We are also much encouraged by the promise of a large increase in the enrolment in the next few weeks. One of the encouraging features was the fact that a goodly number of men and women of mature age enrolled. A large per cent of these had been out doing work for the Master in different conference lines. They have come in to take part with us this year to get a better preparation for their work. The spirit of the school thus far is excellent, and if one may prophesy with any degree of certainty from what he sees without, we believe the school will be equal to anything we have had for many years.
