Religious Education Outstanding among the encouraging features of Central College is the new emphasis on the theological work. Six years ago the department was reorganized with a registration of six students, and since that time the ntimber has grown to twenty-eight. The conferences have awakened to the fact that the school exists primarily for the purpose of the church and are voicing the necessity of a new stress on this department. The ministerial students are seeing that since God has called them to preach IIis Word; they are under obligation to prepare for that calling. The old idea that one may spend his school days in secular training and later pick up a knowledge of Bible and theology “on the fly“ is no longer pre- valent. A new day has dawned for the Theological Dcjortinent. In the theological work two things are being emphasized; faithful scholarship and deep spirituality. May the department ever continue the progressive trend it has experienced in recent years.
