Students are required to attend and assist in missions, street meetings, tent meetings, to visit people in their homes, to conduct adult Bible classes and Sunday school classes, and to engage in various other forms of aggressive Christian work, and always with J:heir eyes open for opportunities for personal work. These assignments are made by the Superintendents, and every student is required to hand in each week a written re port of their work. A weekly report meeting is held at which the work of the preceding week is surveyed and difficulties di scussed. This is one of the most practical, helpful, and inspirational hours of the week.
