Southern Training School

By C. L. Stone

THE week of prayer brought great blessings to the Southern Training School. On Sabbath the reading was given at the church, but the week-day readings were held at the school at the time of the chapel exercises.
Revival meetings were held each night, and the whole church attended these. From the first, it was felt that the Lord had great blessings in store for us, and that he would hear and answer the many prayers ascending from more than a dozen prayer bands organized among the students of the school.
Early in the week young people began to consecrate their lives for better service, and some for the first time; but on Wednesday the reading and the consecration service lasted from the chapel period at 9:15 A. M. until 1 P. M. On Thursday the same experience came. Confessions were made, earnest prayers were offered, and those who fully turned to God began to work for others. The most noticeable thought in the testimonies was the rejoicing because of answered prayers. The most noticeable characteristic of the experiences was that of beginning to work for others as soon as victory was felt in the life.
The night meetings at the church, and the day meetings in the school, supplemented each other, and the result was a complete victory for almost all our young people. The hearts of the members of the faculty, and of all the workers connected with the effort, were made to rejoice greatly, and yet to feel solemn for the responsibilities of carrying the work of grace forward until each one should become strong and well established.
The future prospect for workers is very bright, and the delegates in attendance at the union conference immediately following the week of prayer, felt to rejoice in the thought that in the near future, recruits having a deep Christian experience and hearts burdened for the work in this field, will go out into the work from the Southern Training School.
