THE OBJECT OF THE INSTITUTE
"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth ." -II Tim. 2:15
T HE Institute aims, in its training of all classes for whom it is intended, to send out men and women having at least these seven characteristics : 1. Genuine and thorough consecration. 2. Intense love for souls. 3. A deep and comprehensive knowledge of the Word of God, and especially of how to use it in leading men to Christ, and building them up in Christ- likeness. 4. Willingness to endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. 5. Untiring energy. 6. Well balanced common sense, especially along religious lines. 7. Enduement with power by the fi lling with the Holy Spirit. Great emphasis is laid upon the development of the spiritual life of the student . If any student should go from the school without a more intimate, personal acquaintance with Jesus Christ, or without more of the power of the Holy Spirit in his life and work, the Institute would have failed in his case at the vital point. The study of music is made a prominent feature of the. Institute training, so that men and women may be prepared to teach music and lead choirs, and assist otherwise. in this important department of Christian work. While the Institute music course prepares students for the work of the singing evangelist, it is not intended for any one who simply wishes education in music. The music work of the Institute is always made subordinate to the study of the Bible, and music is taught only as a means of qualifying one for more effective soul-winning service.
