Special Term in Keene Academy.
By J. B. Blosser
In view of the fact that the Lord calls for laborers to be educated “quickly,” it has been arranged for a three months’ term in the Keene Academy for the benefit of those entering the canvassing work, for it is through this kind of work that workers are the quicker and the better prepared for all departments of the great work in giving the message. Besides, the Lord has recently said that “where there is one canvasser in the field, there should be one hundred,” and also that we should “educate, educate, educate young men and women to sell the books which the Lord by His Holy Spirit has stirred His servants to write.” So we feel sure that the plan that the Academy has adopted will be blessed of the Lord, and we hope to see a large number of both old and young take advantage of this rare opportunity to fit themselves to labor for the Master. The course will include the following branches: Bible study, language, book study, hygiene, and simple treatments, accounts, penmanship, principles of canvassing, and principles of commercial law. The Texas Conference will provide for the special instruction so that those who come will only need to provide for their living expenses. We believe that the brethren in the churches, where it is necessary, will assist those who consecrate themselves to the work. The course will begin about the first of January, but the exact date will be announced later. The last three weeks of the course will be the time when we will hold our regular canvassers’ institute, and at that time we will expect all the old canvassers to attend. Possibly some of the old canvassers will want to attend all through the three months. Now then, brethren and sisters, when the Lord speaks so plainly to us, shall we not arouse ourselves and take hold in earnest, and see if we are not the very ones He would have attend this school, and encourage others to do likewise? For further particulars write to the undersigned.
