SPECIAL COURSE AT SOUTH LANCASTER.

By D. A. Robinson

Our special course began Thursday, April 28, under very favorable auspices. Several have come in who have not been in attendance at the school during the term. Elds. Canright and Farnsworth arrived Wednesday, and so were ready to take up the work. Eld. Canright occupies one hour in the morning at the opening of the school in giving a practical talk especially adapted to those laboring or designing to labor in any way in the cause. The classes are so arranged that we have no recitation the first hour in the morning, thus giving an opportunity for the whole school to have the benefit of the morning talk. The second hour, Bro. Israel has a class in Bible reading. This class numbers between fifty and sixty. Later in the day another Bible class is held, more especially adapted to those who will enter the work when the term closes. There are about forty in this class. The classes in language and the missionary class each occupy one hour. The latter takes up various phases of the missionary work and canvassing. In the evening, Eld. Farnsworth gives an hour's talk of a practical nature relating to the work of God, showing the relation we should sustain to it. We miss very much the help and counsel of our dear Bro. Haskell, but our hope and faith is that God will make this effort a special blessing to the cause in the Eastern Conferences. As has already been noticed in the REVIEW, the last few days will be devoted to our general meeting, which will begin Friday, May 8, and close Tuesday, May 12. We greatly desire to see all parts of the Conference represented at this meeting.
