ii6 MISSIONS IN THE TELUGU COUNTRY Surely it was no time to ' enlarge the place of the tent,' and ' lengthen the cords.' But not so reasoned the new leaders of the Mission. On the one side everything seemed ripe for advance, the movement in the villages was still in full flood and petitions for teachers came from every quarter. On the other side the three missionaries knew well by experience with what painful slowness the Church at home would respond to the call for men, though they knew, too, that the stirring in the valleys on either side of the Nallamalla hUls was of God. The crisis was faith's opportunity. The leaders of the Mission looked to the future, not to the mere exigencies The of the present. They selected men from among the training people themselves, who might be trained to exercise Indian pastoral oversight over the village congregations. In c ergy. ,., ^^^^^ ^^ ^^ ^.j^^g^ ^^^ ^f ^j^g ^qq scanty band of three was deliberately set apart to undertake the task of organising and building up a Training College for mission teachers. What it cost those who had the spiritual needs of their people at heart to give up one of their number, may be gathered from the fact that for four years almost con- tinuously one or the other of the remaining two was away on sick leave ; and thus the ludicrously impossible task of ministering to over one hundred congregations, in as many scattered villages, with more than six thousand Christians and catechumens, was during those years attempted by one priest Mr. Britten was selected for the task of starting the new institution, and the necessary money was forth- coming through the generosity of a member of the Madras CivU Service, Mr. James Andrew.

THE S.P.G. MISSION : MODERN PERIOD 117 town of some size, which lay on the route of the new railway projected from Guntakal to Bezwada, was chosen as a convenient centre in which to establish it. The London Missionary Society had lately removed their head-quarters from Nandyal to Gooty, and an old bungalow of that Mission was bought for four hundred rupees in order to allow the work to begin immediately, and temporary mud buildings were put up to serve the purposes of a church and students' rooms. By the end of 1884 work was begun. The Nandyal Training Institution has from that Nandyal, time to the present been the crown of the educational work of the Telugu Mission of the S.P.G. The funda- mental object—that of improving and enlarging the supply of tea,chers in mission service—has been steadily adhered to. It has placed a good education within the reach of every Christian boy who is of sufficient intelligence and shows signs of ' vocation.' After passing through his village school, he proceeds to one of the boarding-schools, and from that he is taken, on passing the necessary examination, to Nandyal. After receiving the fullest amount of secular instruction that his abilities justify, he is given a theological training to fit him for the work of a teacher. A boy of exceptional intelligence and strength of character may proceed right through the institution, and enter the theological college at Madras to be trained for Holy Orders. A detailed account of the history and working of the Nandyal Training Institution wiU be given in a later chapter. It must suffice here to say that the continuous supply^ of mission agents which it^ has
