Missionary Training School of Correspondence

“LABORERS should improve themselves.” Under this heading, through the spirit of prophecy, there appears the following instruction:— “Having learned the simple rules, they should bend their minds to the acquisition of knowledge in connection with their labor, so that they may be ‘workmen that need not be ashamed.’ They can master one branch of science after another while engaged in the work.” This applies to active workers in the cause. It applies with equal force to the Christian who is living a quiet home life; for in the church of Christ there is no man who has not active duties to perform. “Golden moments are thrown away in unimportant conversation, in indolence, and in doing those things which are of little consequence, that ought to be used every day in useful employments that will fit us more nearly to approach the high standard.”
Not every one can put himself under an instructor in a regularly organized school, but every one can study in his own home. For the benefit of those who can not enter school, the Missionary Training School of Correspondence makes it possible for one to do systematic studying without leaving home. The student need not give up his occupation; he can do much toward gaining an education without the expense connected with a course in an institution.
Concerning the course in Bible, one student writes: “As I follow the thoughts expressed in the lessons, I feel lifted into a higher atmosphere.”
A teacher writes: “The Missionary Training School of Correspondence offers one of the greatest advantages to our young people, and will prove a decided blessing to all who undertake the study. The work develops individuality, trains the intellect, fosters spiritual growth, and develops independent thinking and self-reliance. No Christian young person should let the opportunity pass.”
A worker of some experience says: “The lessons in Bible are thorough and complete, yet not too long for a week’s work. I like the idea of making constant and personal application to every-day life of the truths learned in the lesson. The Correspondence School will certainly assist much in preparing workers for these last days.”
