Kind I'm This country.

throw open its doors to others than candi-
dates for the ministry.
In the new department a two or three
years course of study may be taken, or a
shorter course may be elected. In either
course the studies will comprise such sub
jects as the structure and contents Of the
Bible, Christian evidences. church history,
social conditions, evangelism and methods

man for the work of a teacher. missionary,
pastors assistant, Young Mems Christian

This new departure in the curriculum of
Presbyterian theological seminariea Is dis
tinctly a concession to the new conditions
which have brought the laity to the front
in church work. In cities, IL Ia pointed out,
welfare work is in charge of laymen, and
many OF the best known svangelists and
Bible teachers are also laymen. In the new
department this element of the church viii
