Much interest is being shown in the study course “Stewardship and Mis- sions” which is being taught every night for two hours by Rev. R. L. Brown, student pastor of the Baptist Group. The enrollment for the course is larger than any enrollment for study courses in the history of the de- nominational group. Fifty-five stu- dents of the college are attending. Classes are being held every day from 5 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. and from 6:30 p.m. to 7:20 p.m. in the Electri- cal Engineering building, lectures on the subject being given by Rev. Brown, assisted by his wife. Books for the course are being sup- Bliedy by the Sunday School Board cf the S' otitHern Baptist Convention free Lis ng 8% to those who are taking the cc The only requirement is that the student must attend the major- ity of the lectures and take an ex- amination on the book which is to be given after five days of study. The course will end Friday after- noon and will mark the second week of study courses which have been held by the Baptist group this year. The group is working to attain a standard of excellence, the criterion set by the Southern Baptist Convention for Bap- tist Young Peoples’ Unions. The Standard requires that at least 50% of the membership take some kind of a study course every year. Rev. and Mrs. Brown and the mem- bers of the Baptist Student Union are working hard to equal the re cord made by the Baptist organiza- tion last year. Forty-two per cent of the awards made to college religious groups were made to A. & M. Col- lege. DEBATING SOCIETY WILL HOLD MEETING TONIGHT The comparative difficulty of ag- ricultural and engineering studies will be the topic for discussion at the Debating Society tonight. The dis- cussion will be led by Mr. A. Bayless. All members are requested to be pre- sent. Visitors will be welcome. S. A. DEBNAM, Club President.
