all. Jesus set the church an example here as always. He called his Twelve; but he was not so I foolish as to think i that just because he j had called them ■ they were all ready i to go out and take I the lead. Jesus put I them through what

may be called the first Leadership Training School in the history of the Christian church. • • • Who Was Enrolled? THE TWELVE Apostles were the training class. Not all Jesus' disciples were equal to it; perhaps some of them actually did not have the time. But these Twelve had already been set off from the others, not because they were better men, but in order to do more direct service in Christ's name. There was nothing formal about Jesus* training school. It met wherever he was at the time—in a house, or by the roadside, or on a hill-top. There were no set hours, no textbooks, credits or diplomas. Jesus kept it going to the very end. for even after the Resurrection, as Luke tells us (in Acts 1) he was still teaching his Twelve. I • • • What Did They Study? ( THERE WAS no printed circular. no bulletin, no prospectus or catalogue. All the “courses” ( amounted to just one thing: learning to do what Jesus was doing. To this day, that is the aim of all Christian training. Mark and Luke ’ 1 mention at least four things Jesus' training-school students learned t1 from him; preaching, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and pray- I ing. It would not be quite true to say that part bfVhat they learned was spiritual and part practical, for there is nothing more practical than j ( praying as Jesus taught it, andi Jesus never ministered to people's I physical needs without touchingj their spirits too. Many a person now in some hospital for the insane need not have gone there if he had had ' the help that a well-trained min- i ister can give. Ministers today are not taught how to perform miracles like the 1 feeding of the 5.000; but knowing that people's physical well-being has! a great deal to do with their spir-’ itual welfare, the alert young Christian minister of today will be keen-! ly interested in Chiristian aocial ac-' tion. • • • How Did They Learn? THE TWELVE learned by doing It is the only way you learn anything of a practical nature. Memo-' rising a textbook, memorizing rules, is not learn in g. You ! have learned how to do a thing only ■ when you can do it. Os course you ; have to see it done, first. A boy on j the farm learns to be a farmer by watching his father and helping him. more than from school courses in agriculture, useful as they are. i There is nothing tc take the place of apprenticeship u .der one who knows. So Jesus' Twelve watched; him, listened to him. helped him. before they were trusted on their, own. • • '• Will It Still Work? THE METHODS Jesus taught are just as effective today as they ever were Not all churches nowadays follow his line to the letter; in faet. most churches do not. But the basic principles which Jesus drilled into his first traveling representatives are stiH good One is faith. M'-seianaries hi the 2Mh Century are required to take a great deal mare equipment wi'b them la their fields than ene pair o< ahocs. enr eaac and aa empst pvr»e. Yet «rb» <aa deny that atty m ss'amn of any chureh. in China or In Korea today, must live by faith from day to day? 1 Another of Jesus' principles was direct cMtacl. People are not won to Christ chiefly by sermons from pulpits, but by in-the-hon e contacts Minister; know this, minions rles know it; Sunday school teachers ought to know it too Getting ac quairted with your boys and girls at their homes ai d being a friend W them ibere. is what will give your Surd y teaching its g eaten force and success • ■ -JS- hl the talc rn-Ulm .r Coun fl* f ’tea « Vti ts a* a a *-’ nn * t3 -^ i Rc’.rqacC
