FLORENCE, Ala. — Com-
pletely cognizant of the ex-
treme shortage of faithful gos-
pel preachers, many of the

iy the
Church of
6, 1966 on the Mars Hill Bible
School campus, Florence, Ala.
A school designed to train
preachers is not new in Flo-
rence, Ala. On the first day of
1871, T. B. Larimore opened
Mars Hill College, the first of
its kind in the south, where the
Bible was taught and each stu-
dent was required to recite at
least one lesson in' the Bible
each day. Larimore placed spe-
on preacher
dal emphasis
training. .
F. D. Srygley, one of the
many outstanding preachers
trained by Larimore and a
former editor of the Gospel Ad-
vocate, wrote a book about
Larimore and his school.
The following excerpts from
Srygley’s Larimore And His
Boys clearly show how preach-
ing was encouraged: “For rea-
sons already given his chief in-
terest was in the Bible Depart-
ment, and to that he gave his
principal attention ... He made
everyone feel that Christianity
was the most important of all
professions, and to preach the
gospel, the solemn duty and ex-
alted privilege of every Chris-
tian. Every pupil wanted to be
under his special instruction,
and as his entire attention was
given to the Bible Department,
everybody soon began to want
to learn to preach . . .”
T. B. Larimore ^teaching School to Open

sibility to again establish a
school of evangelists In this vi-
cinity and offer helpful training

publicly proclaim God’s Word.

A SPECIAL QUIZ
—---— - ... for interested Christians
Do you know which of the following countries have mission programs underway today? Marti |
vour answers in the proper squares:
“All other professions seemed
insignificant in importance as'*
compared with preaching the
gospel .,. We were wrought up
to a point of religious zeal and
enthusiasm, under his personal
infuence and the power of his
preaching, so intense and con-
stant, that we felt impelled to
preach the gospel, nor thought
of anything else • . He be-
lieves in an educated milnstry,
and encourages all who wish to
preach the gospel to spare no
efforts to qualify themselves for
the important work by as liber-
al an education as they can
possibly attain. But when it if
quite out of a man’s power to
attend school, he never advises
him to neglect the gift that is
in him for want of much need
ed helps he can never obtain.”
Mars Hill College was operat-
ed for 17 years by Larimore
and from its halls came forth
some of the greatest preachers
of the restoration movement.
Among the many men who sat
at the feet of T. B. Larimore
were F. D. Srygley, already
mentioned, and J. C. McQuid-
dy, who also was associated
with the Gospel Advocate.
In 1947 Mars HUI Bible School

MEMPHIS — For Wednesday
nights during January and Feb-
ruary the Highland Street
Church of Christ, has planned a
unique program on Christian
education. Representatives of
eight Christian schools will
speak to the young people and
adults of the congregation.
Ulis planned series grew out
of a request from one of the
schools for time on a Wednes-
day night. It is felt that by set-
ting aside this block of time,
both the schools and the con-
gregation will profit. All the
schools within'a reasonable dis-
tance were invited to parti-
cipate. This gives them an op-
portunity to work Highland
Street and Memphis.
It, also, makes it possible for
the congregation to plan its
work without interruptions all
during the year. There should
be a cumulative effect from all
these lessons on one theme.
Christians everywhere need
more teaching on the vital
theme of Christian education:
