Opportunity for Self-Improvement

“CHRIST’S commission, ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature,’ is spoken to every one of his followers.” This was the opening thought of the message that came to this people during the week of prayer. On every one who has been saved by grace is laid the burden of carrying the good tidings to others. Those who realize the solemn work that we have to do will sense the need of self-improvement. “He is a Christian who aims to reach the highest attainments for the purpose of doing others good.” Laborers in God’s vineyard should constantly seek to improve themselves.
Seventh-day Adventists are ever ready to take hold of new and successful methods for extending their work. The world has demonstrated that successful study can be done by correspondence. By taking advantage of this method, many of our people who can not leave home to attend one of our training-schools may come in touch with our educators, and pursue systematically courses of instruction that will be of great benefit to them.
As announced in the last Year Book, Union College is offering some work by this method. The subjects now being given are New Testament History and History of Missions. Let any who are interested in this work, address Union College, Correspondence Department, College View, Neb.
