Missionary Training School of Correspondence

THIS School of Correspondence has been called into existence to meet the needs of the hour. There are in almost every community people who, if circumstances were different, would be glad to enter one of our schools to prepare for active missionary work. They know that the Lord has a place for them, and a work for them to do. Some are prevented from attending school by home duties, others are detained for financial reasons. Nevertheless, these would make just as good workers as those who become resident students in our various schools. They are as earnest and as thoroughly Christian as those differently situated.
There are families that feel that they should work as families in the cause of God. There are mothers who have a deep longing to better understand God's will concerning them and the training of their children. These are the people who have created a demand for the work of the Missionary Training School of Correspondence. It is for them that the Missionary Training School of Correspondence has been opened.
Possibly those who are detained from our schools have felt that they must live always under great disadvantages, but this is not true. Many a man has advanced by doing his studying after the ordinary day's work. Lincoln is a notable example of such industry. We often read of men who were obliged to work hard all day, but who utilized every spare hour in self-improvement.
If men working for worldly advantage will put forth such an effort, should Christians be satisfied when they do less? The long winter evenings may profitably be devoted by many Christian families to a study of the Word of God. In many of our homes, neighbors may gather to study God's truth. The course of instruction offered in Bible by the Missionary Training School of Correspondence will enable parents to work side by side with their children. It will make it possible for Christian fathers and mothers to study with their neighbors. It is an opportunity which none can afford to miss.
You should at least read the circulars issued by the Missionary Training School for Correspondence, and see for yourselfwhat you may do by studying in your own home. Address Missionary Training School of Correspondence, Berrien Springs, Mich.
