Self-Supporting Missionary Training

By E. A. Sutherland

The ninth annual opening of the Nashville Agricultural and Normal Institute will occur Oct. 16, 1912.

This school has been established for the purpose of training active missionaries, especially teachers and nurses. The capacity of the school is limited to about seventy. Last year a large per cent of the students practically earned their board and room while carrying school work. The institution is prepared to help worthy students this year. The school work is so arranged that the student has an opportunity to practise what he learns.

This institution was established primarily for the training of those who desire to enter the Lord's work as self-supporting missionaries. The Bible says that at the eleventh hour many will be standing idle in the marketplace because no man has hired them. The

Lord of the vineyard has told these idle ones to go into the vineyard to work, and they will receive whatsoever is right. Many of these may be assisted in entering the vineyard by taking a short, practical training in the Madison school. Those who have been making excuses should make every effort now; for the great harvest movement will soon be upon us. It will be too late then to prepare. We should like to correspond with any who desire to enter the Lord's work on this basis. Address the writer at Madison, Tenn.
