MINISTERIAL DEPARTMENT The Ministerial Department is composed of those students who have not finished high school, hut feel that they are called to the Christian ministry and desire some theological training. The purpose of the department is to qualify those who are enrolled for efficient Christian work. A certificate is given upon the completion of the three-year program outlined to meet the course of study requirements for ordination as set forth in the manual. The ministerial class is doing a creditable Christian work this year in visiting the churches in or near the city and giving programs which are a spiritual uplift to the people.

Hubert Meredith Owensboro, Kentucky COLLEGE THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT Theology is the oldest study known to man. Adam and Eve were instructed in it by God. He taught them the doctrines of sin, redemption, and eternity. The science of medicine, and philosophy, and the knowledge of literature shall all perish with the world; but man shall in- crease his knowledge of God and spiritual things throughout eternity. The mysteries of theology have challenged poets, philosophers, scientists, and statesmen. They have all sought to find her treasures. Theology has been called by someone, The Queen of Sciences. So it is theology that the preacher must know . His knowledge of fine arts, literature, philosophy, and science will not lead a soul to Christ or nurture it in spiritual things or bridge the river of death. The truths of the Bible alone can do that. The physician must know medi- cine; the attorney, law ; the teacher, pedagogv ; and the preacher must be a master of the science of religion. The church of today needs an educated ministry that is filled with the Holy Spirit and has a passion for the salvation of a lost world. The administration of Trevecca Nazarene College is conscious of this fact and has designed the courses in the School of Theology to meet this need. The School of Theology stresses deep spirituality and thorough scholarship. [20]

[ 22 ] CHRISTIAN WORKERS ' ASSOCIATION The Christian Workers ' Associa- tion of Trevecca Nazarene College was organized for the purpose of the evangelization of the city of Nashville and surrounding territory, and the preparation of its members for prac- tical Christian service. The members of this organization are those in the institution who have a definite Christian experience and have a desire to participate in Chris- tian service. Captains are chosen for each of the following departments: The County and the City Workhouses, the T. B. Sanitarium, the General Hospital, the Jail, and the Street Services. Each group captain is responsible for all services in his field. Each Sunday morning, before the Gospel Bus leaves for Christian work, a half-hour prayer service is partici- pated in by the workers. Each week the gospel is brought to several hun- dred persons. Last year eight hundred souls were reported saved. Our goal for this year is One Thousand for Christ.
