This is a general training course for ministers. The technical work consists of physical culture, voice culture, gesture, and platform deportment. The major portion of the time is given to the delivery of original sermons; but the members of the class are also given training in the presentation of miscellaneous addresses. Each member preaches as often as the size of the class permits, and also appears in short after-dinner speeches, political speeches, platform lectures, commemorative addresses, dedicatory addresses, and deliberative speeches. Some of the speaking is from manuscript, some memoriter, some extempore. In using the extempore method careful preparation of material is required, and plans of speeches are made in advance; but the choice of language is left for the moment of speaking. M.
