Study for Laborers.

AT a meeting of the California Conference Committee, a sub-committee was appointed to prepare a course of study for those who are entering or preparing to enter upon the gospel work. The following was reported and accepted:—

“We recommend that all study the work on the ‘Atonement,’ one or two chapters each week, and prepare to be examined on this book at the time of the next camp-meeting. Those who can, to study in addition to this the work on ‘The Sanctuary and Twenty-three Hundred Days.’

“To read carefully as much of the Bible each day as would be necessary in reading it through by course in a year; in addition to this to read some in the book of Psalms each day.

“To read one or two chapters in the ‘Great Controversy’ and ‘Testimony for the Church’ each day. Those who have not read them to commence with the commencement of the volumes. Those who are familiar with any of these books to read those with which they are not familiar. If they have read them all, to commence again to read volume one.

“Those who design to enter the ministry, to read ‘Lectures on Preaching,’ by Simpson.”
