A Training-Course for City Workers

ALL through our ranks are mature, substantial women who possess more than an ordinary knowledge of the Bible, and who have a real love for souls. The majority of these sisters are not prepared to begin a three-year nurses' course, or to undertake an extended course in one of our Bible training-schools.

Speedily to fit this class of workers for self-supporting work in our large cities there has been established in Chicago a six months' course for the training of practical medical missionaries, or "Bible-working nurses," as they are called. One class has already completed this course, and nearly all of its members are having blessed experiences in the work.

The Illinois Conference supplies the Bible instruction, while the medical staff of the Hinsdale Sanitarium has charge of the medical instruction and training. Condensed but very comprehensive and practical instruction is given in the Bible truths for this time, also in anatomy, physiology, hygiene, hydrotherapy, practical nursing, diseases and their treatment, medical dietetics, obstetrics, and gynecology.

No charge is made for tuition. The expense for room and board is at actual cost, which the students succeed very readily in earning by selling magazines, caring for the sick, etc., during the time that is not occupied in class work.

The next class will be organized in October. Those who feel impressed to enter that class should write immediately for full information regarding this unique course of training. Address Dr. David Paulson, Hinsdale, Ill., or Elder M. H. Serns, 528 Thirty-third Place, Chicago.
