Estimates Cheerfully Given. 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.
