Because of h i s i n terest i n the future m i nistry of the Church of the N a za rene, Reverend Jarrette E . Aycock has advocated that the young m i n i sters be more spec i f i ca l l y trained for the i r future work. Working on the principle that the best way to learn is by the other man's experience, he has proposed tha t Bethany足 Peniel students have the advantage of lectures on the work of the m i n ister g i ven by successful preachers; a l so he has offered to a rrange for the financing of such a program. The school has g l a d l y adopted his suggestion and plans to make such lectures a permanent feature of the col l ege. Because of h i s part in arranging these lectures they w i l l be cal led the Aycock Lectures. The fi rst lectures of this k i nd were g iven Apri l 2 - 6 by Reverend D. Shelby Corlett, whose successful m i n i stry ma kes h i s advice and suggestions of speci a l value. Besides spea k i n g each day a t the chapel hour, he was g iven a reg u l a r c l ass period each day to present some of the methods he had found successful in h i s work and to answer any questions students desi red to ask h i m . H i s l ectures were w e l l attended and greatly apprec i a ted by a l l . REVEREND D . S H ELBY CORLETT
These lectures w i l l be one of the attractive features to m i ni sterial students planning to a ttend Bethany - Peniel Col l ege.
