"The committee on examination, presented the following report:
... There were present before the committee for examination, Probationers J. C. Worley, Samuel U. Leinbach and Jesse C. Engle. J. T. Hood, a candidate under the care of New Lebanon Presbytery, was present and took part in the examination. Bro. Albert W. Green came in during the examination.
As all the probationers before the committee, except Bro. Engle, are attending school at Missouri Valley College, the committee deemed best to spend the entire time of the examination on Theology. Some of the brethren showed a commendable degree of proficiency, yet all of them need to give this part of their preparation for the gospel ministry special attention. No amount of literary training can take the place of a knowledge of God's word. We urge, therefore, that your probationers give earnest heed to the Bible, the Confession of Faith and Catechism and systematized Theology. We recommend that all your probationers who are now in school, continue so as far as practicable. We recommend that your probationers, after they have finished their literary course, take a full course in our Theological school."
