THE INSTITUTE.

LAST fall one young man left the Summer School, returning to his native State in the interest of church schools. He visited the camp-meetings, held special services, and conducted lessons on Christian education in various parts of the State. As a result, there are now in that State, which had before given practically no thought to the subject of education for the children, three schools, several churches awaiting teachers this fall, a deep interest in the work on the part of conference workers, and several young people awaiting the opening of the Summer School to receive the necessary preparation to open church schools.

The Institute will be a gathering of workers. It opens June 20, and at the end of three weeks it is hoped to send out, not one young man to canvass one State, but a number of young people who are strong and well grounded in the truths of Christian education, to visit several States.

The conference presidents of various States are already asking for such workers.

Workers must develop rapidly. Those who have had experience in the school-room the past year will, if they have proved faithful, find broader fields of usefulness.

“I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.”
