Emmanuel Missionary College

IN the January number of The Missionary Review of the World there appeared an article entitled “Missionary Training-Schools.” After describing the Moody Institute of Chicago and some other institutions of a similar character, the writer makes mention of one of our own training-schools:—

Of distinctly another class is the Emmanuel Missionary College, of Berrien Springs, Mich., which is an industrial school, under the direction of the Seventh-day Adventists, but open to young men and women of all denominations. There is a farm of two hundred seventy acres on the St. Joseph River, the work of cultivation being done entirely by the students. In addition to the agricultural work, almost every conceivable sort of manual training is given under the supervision of expert instructors. The full curricula of the other institutions is carried out. “Each student carries three subjects at a time,—one intellectual, one manual, and one spiritual (the latter including Bible and its attendant studies and practical Christian work),—the aim being to offer all the subjects needed for the all-round training of the missionary. Tuition is free, though a slight charge is made for certain subjects.” It is the purpose of the school to give a three-fold education: so to conduct the work that the student does not wait till he is graduated to become an active worker; to send out workers who are self-supporting; and to enable students to meet their expenses while gaining an education.
