The regulating center in one's educational program at Barrington College is the Bible. ln his core curriculum, every student has the opportunity to gain an understanding of the English Bible, its basic teachings about God, man, Christ and the church and to hear the voice of God speak through its words to our turbulent generation and to us in- dividually in our deepest need. ' The Pre-Seminary Fellowship is composed of young men and young women who are planning to serve the Lord in some full-time position such as a Pastor or Youth Di- rector. This organization is concerned with the problems and situations that face to- day's Christian ministers. They meet to discuss among themselves and with speakers from various churches and seminaries the different aspects of their future vocations. It is never too early to seriously consider how God's work might most effectively be carried on here on earth. This fellowship offers a very practical unit for such activi- ty to be started and continued. l39

Usually the students remain at the mission for about eight weeks doing whatever work is asked or that which he is most adroit in doing. ln some places the missionaries need help with young people's work, and others help in construction and often in speaking engagements and personal evangelism. Some students work making records which carry the story of the Gospel in sound, while others draw animated art forms which carry the Gospel in pictures. U The students who volunteer for the Missionary Peace Corp do not receive any type of remuneration. The student body provides their traveling expenses from voluntary chapel offerings and the mission provides their room and board. During the school year following their summer's work, the Peace Corps members travel to churches in the New England area weekly to relate their experiences and personal blessings. I4l
