 As principal of tbe school. Mir cald well would continupe to conduct the services Of the church and remain dt its head, but his duties Tn the school room would require prac -4cally all el his time during the week uays, and ns would have little chance Tor pastoral work an>A lnis would pc attended to by the assistant pastor. The young minlS- ters in the school who are studying the Bihle would aiso bs rsquired to assist in the ministerial work.
 The establishment of this schooi would prove of great benefit to the this State itself. There Is not a Chris tian Church college south of Lexington, Ky. and the starting of q Bible school here would soon lead to ss large and fiourishing Bible college Mir. Caldwell stated that the church in the South each year was being robbed or It's best
 Alabama alone each year sends a large number of young men off to study the Bible and to prepare for the minis try, Just as soon as these young men ha,- finished their studies. they were called to other fields and never returned to this State where they were needed and that the South was kept drained furnishing other fields.
 The location of e Bible college in the South, he thought, would. in large way, stop this. As the students grad uated from the school they would find work near at home and in that way do the church untold good.
