DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from California Normal Training College for Sunday School Teachers, Bible Students, and Other Lay Workers: Prospectus for First Year, on the Basis of the American Institute of Religious Education The Regents of the "California Normal Training College" for the preparation of Sunday-school Teachers, Bible students and other lay workers, submit to the Christian public the plans of this institution, earnestly inviting the prayers and co-operation of all good people. The worthy ends proposed cannot fail to secure general approval. The future church is in the present Sunday-school. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Every hope for the coming years centers in the boys and girls of to-day. To provide them, therefore, with competent instructors is the dictate of the highest wisdom. Many earnest souls, desiring to be useful in various other fields of lay effort, need to know how to study and handle the Word as the sword of the Spirit. It is believed that the movement now inaugurated is providentially ordered, and that it has all the elements necessary to the highest usefulness in both these directions. But success is possible only through united effort under the Divine blessing. The Executive Committee of the State Sunday-school Association, desiring to elevate the standard of teaching, invited Rev. J. E. Gilbert, D.D., of Indianapolis, General Superintendent of the American Institute of Religious Education, to spend three months in normal institutes under their direction, in various cities of the State. The Committee had received numerous testimonials of Dr. Gilbert's abilities as a specialist in this department, and they had some knowledge of the society he represented, and of its work in other states, so that there was good ground to hope that his services would prove a great blessing, preparing the way, possibly, for some permanent and more extensive measures.
