Catechetics as a branch of Practical Theology at- tempts to teach the proper methods of instructing the young in the church, especially in the Christian religion. It looks upon the educational work entrusted to every congregation as fundamentally necessary and requiring careful training of teachers and patient and systematic execution. A good pastor should not only himself be able “to feed the lambs” but should also know how to teach others the same art. The course involves, first a survey of the history of Christian education; secondly, a description of the theories and methods of such educa— tion as they prevail in the church today; thirdly, the practical application of principles and methods to our educational need, so that the material of instruction may be suited as much as possible to the growing heart and mind of the child. This again involves a knowledge of the systematic use of the Bible for instruction as well as of the other books used in catechetical instruction. 3. Church Polity. This course discusses the biblical theory of the con- gregation as the communion of saints; the offices, or— ganization, and government of the congregation in apos— tolic times; the growth of the idea of the church as a legal organization ending in Catholicism; the idea of the reformers as to church government, especially that of Luther; the modern movement from the state churches, and the idea of a free church according to apostolic usages, unique in character and unhampered by wordly and rationalistic methods of organization and govern- ment.

To this part of a theological course also belongs the study of Ethics. PRACTICAL TH EOLOGY.* I. Homiletics. This course includes first a survey of the History of Preaching, showing the character of the first Christian witness-bearing and the development of the characteristic principles of this preaching as an art: its alliance with pagan rhetoric and oratory; the consequences of this alli— ance upon the form and material of preaching, and the efforts made to find a form of its own in more complete harmony with the Word of God. Secondly the course involves a systematic study of the essentials of preaching as testifying of Christ, properly designated as Homiletics. It is constantly borne in mind that the power of preach- ing does not lie in human art but in divine authority of the Word and the Spirit of God. Hence, while there must be intense study of the text and much practice in the art of presenting truth, the essential homiletic pre- paration consists in ridding minds of worldly notions as to preaching and self-confidence in order that Word and Spirit may have full sway. Further the course consists in the study of the pericopes; analytical reading of representative sermons; written outlines of sermons and religious addresses, and weekly sermons in class. * The work in this branch has been divided among the members of the Theological Faculty.
