PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOUTH
TRAINING FOR PRESBYTERIANS.
By Rev. C. O'N. Martindale.
The time in which we are living is
one in which the laymen in the churches
of Christendom are coming into their
own. claiming and exercising their rights
and privileges as responsible subjects of
the Master's Kingdom, naving definite
parts in His work for the world's redemntion
and renovation. It is a Lime
when men and women, young and old,
in our churches are recognizing the need
and embracing the opportunity of equipment,
not only for Christian service, but
for efficient, the best possible, Christian
sendee.
The day has passed when the minister
is the only trained Christian workman
in the Church. And there is an increasing
number of the ministry who are furnishing
limited opportunities for general
and special Christian training to develop
able and rightly aspiring members in
their churches, or helping in some way
to this end. At the same time tnere are
many ministers who either have not the
aptitude for teaching and training workers,
or who have not the time to spare
from their other pressing duties to -devote
to this work, they say.
Hence the need not only of theological
seminaries fcr those called of Gcd to the
ministry of the Gospel, but of Bible
'training Schools, under Presbyterian
auspices, for the training of Christian
workers as truly called of God to other
specific service in His Church at home
and beyond.
How many consecrated men and
women in the Presbyterian Church would
love to engage in missionary or evangelistic
work, become pastor's assistants, or
Bible teachers, or Sunday school workers,
or institutional Church laborers, or
rescue missioners, or social setllementers,
or Christian nurses, had they their
own denominational schools of this kind
in which they could study the English
Bible, Church History, Christian Doctrine,
Religious Pedagogy and Psychology,
Home Evangelism, Foreign Missions,
Language, Expression, Hymnology and
Music, Sociology, Nurse Training and
Domestic Economy.
Now, there has been established just
sucn a "Bible Training School for Christian
Workers'' under the leadershin nnrl
patronage of some of the best Presbyterian
laymen and ministers, in Nashville,
Tennessee; where not only Correspondence
Courses are being given, and
Extension Work is done, along these
lines, but plans are rapidly maturing to
acquire a commodious and up-to-date
building plant at some central site in
which to open up early this fall a wellmanned
institution of this type, where
any student of church life and work may
get fullest advantages of training for
Christian service at minimum cost (of
$170 a year), in easy reach from this or
any sister State. For this students are
being steadily enrolled, especially Presbyterians.
Other denominations are alive
in this line, why not ours?
in tnis strategic location (Nashville)
Presbyterians of wealth in our beautiful
Southland have a fine opening for investment
(by gift or legacy) of their moneys
to the bringing in of largest returns to
the Kingdom of the Master in this and
other lands. Cnrlstian, why not give
your money thus while you are alive and
*
27
can see it doing something telling for
God in Ilia world? Twenty-live thousand
dollars are but a drop in the bucket
to many of God's rich children in our
Church; and yet, just now, money in
large and small sums to meet a genuine
need is the demand of the promoters of
this school for Christ.
We hear much of "the Laymen's Movement"
now-a-days. Why not some of you *
laymen, in this undertaking to increase
the efficiency of the laymen in the
Church, show your appreciation ol efforts
making for your advancement, show your
interest in and sympathy with this "Presbyterian
Bible Training School for Christian
Workers," in some practical way
comniensurately with your God-given
means and an enlarged vision of the
needs of your Church and the world, by
rallying to tne call of its noble directors
(Allen G. Halt, LL. D., Geo. O. Bachman,
W. H. Raymond, C. C. Gilbert, W. M. Cassetty),
and worthy advisers (Rev. Messrs.
W. M. Anderson, D. D.. C. R. Nisbet, A. S.
Allen, S. W. McGill, G. H. Cornolson,
D. D.)?
At the head of this Training School has
been placed as superintendent, a man
gifted as a Bible teacher, both by past
experience and constant study and intimate
touch with affairs of men thoroughly
qualified for leadership of such
an msuuiuon; as a lecturer on Bible
School Pedagogy excelled by but few;
whose rating in teacher training is shown
by his being included among the special
lecturers at the Moody Bible Institute of
Cnicago this summer. Rev. G. O. Bacfoman.
