Bible Workers' Training-School

By R. D. Quinn

IN response to the urgent call for Bible workers to enter the large cities of the East, a Bible training-school has been established in New York City, with a view to qualifying workers in a very practical way to bring the truth prominently before the multitudes living in the great centers of population. A three-story modern house has been secured in a very desirable locality in the outskirts of the city, in which the work will be conducted.
In a recent testimony from Sister E. G. White relating to the work here, and the establishment of a training-school for workers, the following instruction is given: “We need a sanitarium and a school in the vicinity of New York City, and the longer we delay in the securing of these, the more difficult it will become. It would be well to secure a place as a home for our mission workers outside of the city. It is of great importance that they have the advantage of pure water free from all contamination. For this reason, it is often well to consider the advantages of locating among the hills. . . . Such a home would be a welcome retreat for our workers, where they may be away from the bustle and confusion of the city.”
We are glad to report that such a location has been found. While every part of the city is within easy access by means of rapid transit, still the school is located near the country, in the immediate vicinity of the Zoological Park, Botanical Gardens, and an extensive natural park through which the Bronx River flows. This park is situated among the hills, much of which is covered by a beautiful hemlock grove. The water and air in this part of the city are excellent, and the general surroundings are very beautiful and admirably adapted to this work.
In consideration of the great need of earnest laborers among the multitudes dwelling in the city, and in view of the fact that God has said that many more laborers should be trained for service, there should be many who will gladly respond and take advantage of the opportunity now offered. Those entering the school will receive daily instruction from experienced laborers, and will also unite in the general public efforts putforth.
All applications to enter the school should be addressed to the superintendent, Elder E. A. Merrell, 2342 Crotona Ave., New York City, N. Y.
