A. HARPER, W. P. LAWRENCE, W. C. WICKER, Committee on Teacher-Training of the Southern Christian Convention. CONTRIBUTORS THE COMMITTEE, G. O. LANKFORD, J. O. ATKINSON, H. E. ROUNTREE, J. IT. NEWMAN, M. T. MORRILL, A. W. ANDES, W. E. MacCLENNY. THE SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING BOARD, Dr. J. O. Atkinson, Elon College, N. C, Publishing Agent. The Pate Printing Co., Burlington, N. C. PREFACE This volume completes the task assigned the Teacher-Train- ing Committee at Greensboro, May 1, 1908. The resolution crea- ting the committee and outlining their work was as follows: "That a committee of three be appointed to prepare a Teacher- Training Course for Sunday-schools, covering two years, a vol- ume of at least forty lessons to the year; that this committee be empowered to ask those competent to do such work to prepare these lessons, the same to be published by our publishing agent." Obedient to this resolution the committee met soon after the convention and outlined the course for the two volumes. The first volume, known as PREPARING THE TEACHER, Book One, was published in November, 1908. This book met with a generous reception at the hands of reviewers and of the church and has been adopted into many of our Sunday-schools. It has also been adopted by the International Sunday-school Associa- tion Educational Committee as Book One of the Standard Ad- vanced Course for Teacher-Training Classes.

  • “SILENCE IS the ONLY SOUND” – Das Neue Album Von Kari Rueslåtten –
    “SILENCE IS THE ONLY SOUND” – Das neue Album von Kari Rueslåtten – Kari Rueslåtten gilt als eine der schönsten Stimmen im alternativen Nordischen Folk-Pop und sie ist die norwegische Königin der Melancholie. Ihr neues AlBum erscheint am 25.August 2017 bei Øra Fonogram / Rough Trade. Kari Rueslåtten war eine der Gründungsmitglieder der progressiven Doom Metal Band The 3rd und the Mortal. Die Band definierte ein besonderes Genre und war eine Inspiration für viele andere Bands weltweit. Nach ihrem Ausscheiden im Jahr 1995, veröffentlichte Rueslåtten bis jetzt sieben Solo-Alben. Sie ist bekannt in ganz Europa und Lateinamerika. Ihr einzigartiges Talent hat Kari Rueslåtten in Zusammenarbeit mit vielen verschiedenen Künstlern gezeigt, wie Toumas Holopainen von Nightwish oder Anneke van Giersbergen (ex The Gathering). Kari Rueslåtten hat schon immer darauf geachtet, die Schönheit im Dunkeln zu entdecken. Die neue Aufnahme mit dem Titel "Silence is the only sound", bekräftigt Rueslåttens Fähigkeit, unglaubliche Vocals mit kantiger, dunkler Melancholie zu verbinden. "Die neue Musik erinnert an Elemente aus meinem ländlichen norwegischen Erbe", erklärt sie, "und enthält Erinnerungen an Volksmärchen und Musik, die mir von meinem Vater weitergegeben wurde". Rueslåtten hat ihre Lieder auf fundamentale Gefühle wie Trauer, Verlust und Kummer herunter gebrochen und diese Gefühle mit verschiedenen Inspirationen ihrer natürlichen norwegischen Umgebung kombiniert. Ihre Lieder sind verwobene Real- und Fantasie-Lebenswelten. Zum Schreiben zog sie sich in eine kleine Hütte in den Bergen zurück. "Ich werde von der Einsamkeit der Berge inspiriert, und ich glaube, meine Texte werden dadurch persönlicher. Natürlich nehme ich mir meine Freiheiten als Schriftsteller, manchmal ist es schwer zu sagen, wo meine eigene Geschichte endet und die Fiktion beginnt.

  • Kari Rueslåtten Releases the Byrds' Classic with a Nordic Melancholic
    Kari Rueslåtten - "Turn, turn, turn" Kari Rueslåtten releases The Byrds’ classic with a Nordic melancholic sound One year ago, Kari Rueslåtten released the highly rated album ”Time to Tell”. Now she is ready with the first taste of her 6th studio album. The single is a cover version of the The Byrds’ big hit ”Turn, turn, turn”, and will be released May 21st. ”Turn, turn, turn” is given a Nordic melancholic sound; build around Kari Rueslåtten magnificent voice. Inspired by the fjords and mountains of Norway, Kari Rueslåtten has made a version of the song that gives you time to think and space to breathe. As an artist, Kari Rueslåtten has developed a unique melancholic sound within alternative folk-pop. Her desire is to find the beauty hiding in the dark. “Turn, turn, turn” is originally written by songwriter legend Pete Seeger, but it was The Byrds that made the song into a number one hit in 1965. “Turn, turn, turn is the #1 hit with the oldest lyrics, as it is taken from the Book of Ecclesiastes. It is a philosophic lyric, which reflects that there is a time and place for everything; ‘To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.’ The Byrds’ version of the song is up- tempo and has a quite happy sound. We have made a darker and more melancholic version, and the tempo is taken down significantly,” Kari says. It was Olavsfestdagene, a big festival in Kari’s hometown Trondheim, that wanted Kari to make her own version of the song to the opening ceremony of the festival 28th of July.
