summer school for ministers, to be held at Hendrix College, beginning on commencement day, June 9, and con- tinuing nine days, has just been con- pleted by pr. J. H. Reynolds. and is now being printed. The lecturers in- clude some of the ablest and most dis tinguished churchmen in the United states and comprehensive and at tractlve schedule of addresses has been prepared. It is believed that the attendance will be much larger than last year, when the first school achleVed a pronounced success. The work of the summer school and it's benefits to the ministry in the state vas recognized by both conferences of the M. E. Church, South, in Arkansas. which at their sessions last fall ap- propriated $500 each to defray the expenses of the school.
 A study of the daily schedule shows that there are two distinct features of the program: Special work given separately for graduates and under graduates and work common to all who attend the school. The graduate work Will consist of the conference course of study, provision being made Tor four recitations daily for each of the four classes covering practically all of the conference course of study Another special feature is a program Tor those who have completed the con- ference course of study, to be conduct ed in another hall while the under graduate classes are reciting. The work common to all who attend con- sists of devotional bible reading for one-half hour; round table discus sions of important themes, evangelism and the rural church, and two ad- dreses each day by some distinguish ed speaker on vital bible, missionary and rural church themes.
 Bishop E. E. Hess of Muskogee. Okla, is one of the leading speakers and appears on the program for ad- dresses and sermons the first five days of the conference. Of some of the other speakers pr. Reynolds says:
 "Dr. o. E. Brown is one of the ripe bible scholars of the country and is an authority on missions. He is power in summer schools and in mis- sionaly conferences. He will come to us with illuminating, thought-provok- ing bible studies and with great mes sages on missions.
 "Rev. Mathew B. McNutt of Woos- ter, Ohio, is one of the great rural church workers of America He is the right hand man of Dr. Warren H Wilson, head of the country church work of the Presbyterian church. He is one of the most successful rural church institute conductors in the United States.
 "Rev. John H. Rice of St. Louis, great preacher and lecturer, will bring to the school inspirational mes sages on great bible themes. His mar velous work at the First Methodist church in Fort Worth easily pAces him among the foremost pastors and organizers.
 "Dr. Arthur E. Holt of Manhattan, Kansas, is profound student of the rural problem and is an able Chris tian philosopher and teacher. Those who heard him here last June have vivid memories of his comprehensive, statesmanlike grasp of the essential elements in the rural problem and of the relation of the church to their so- lution. His coming will be an event in the coming school
 "Dr. John M. Moore, head of the home department of the board of Missions, will make strong contri- button to the discussion of the rural church problem and the relation of the Board of Missions to it. Some thing practical in the way of the ru- ral policy of our church in Arkansas ought to grow out of the discussions.
 "Dr. Stonewall Anderson of the Board of Education has been asked to discuss psychology in it's bearing on the practical problems of the min istry. Something rich is in store for us. pr. Anderson always makes good. The graduates should read in advance the two books which he pro- poses to make the basis of his lec- tures."
 Each day of the school is divided into eight periods of from 30 minutes to one hour, four periods being in the forenoon, three in the afternoon and one in the evening.
