Excerpt from Preparing the Teacher, Vol. 1: Teacher-Training Course of the Southern Christian Convention The Southern Christian Convention in regular session at Greensboro, N. C., May 1, 1908, passed a resolution to this effect That a committee of three be appointed to prepare a Teacher training course for Sunday-schools, covering at least two years, a volume of forty lessons or more to the year; that this commit tee be empowered to ask those competent to do such work to prepare these lessons, the same to be published by our Publish ing Agent. As a result of this resolution the following commit tee was appointed: Prof. W. A. Harper, chairman, Rev. W. C. Wicker, and Prof. W. P. Lawrence. Under the strenuous, effi cient and energetic leadership of the chairman, this committee went to work immediately, to meet the growing demand among our Sunday-schools and the unanimous vote of the convention, for a suitable work on teacher-training. The present volume is the result. How Well the committee have done their work, and how ably and intelligently every contributor has written on the topic assigned, 'can only be told by a thorough study of the pages that follow. It will be readily seen that not only the - ablest writers, but, in each instance, those peculiarly fitted, by taste and previous training to the particular theme assigned, have been secured to do the work.
