Laurelwood Industrial School

By R. W. Airey

ACCORDING to announcement our school term closed on May 17, with a very interesting and instructive program. Our attendance was much better this year than last, having reached sixty-five for a time. Most of the students did faithful work during the term, and made commendable progress.

Our motto, at the beginning of the term, was “Laurelwood for Christ,” and, glory to his name, during the week of prayer all but one student in the home confessed his sins, and realized that they were forgiven. Many of those dear ones are still faithful, and are enjoying a precious experience in the service of the Lord.

A canvassers’ institute, under the direction of Brethren Phillips and Oberg, was held at the school for a short time before the term closed, and fifteen or sixteen received a training in that work. Immediately at the close of school some of them went to work, and have already taken orders enough to pay for one fourth of a scholarship for next year. Several young men will go into the field this year with the ministers to get a training for future usefulness. To the Lord belongs all the glory.
