Charles T. Youngken (Tom) arrived in the city in the middle of the night, recently, owing to a belated overland train, and is visiting his brother Don, purchasing agent for the Institute, at No. 5516 Echo street. Mr. Youngken, accompanied by his wife and two children, returned from the mis sion at Kijabe, British East Africa, some months ago, and have been visiting Mrs. Youngken’s mother in Lincoln, Neb., where Mrs. Youngken and the children still, remain. “Tom” is not in good health, and they will not go back to Africa at once. Warren A. Pike, formerly cashier of the Institute, is now connected with the Exten sion Department, and has his headquarters in the executive offices. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wilkens will sail for Honolulu about the time this number of the magazine goes in the mails (January 5). Their activity has given: them promi nence in Institute .affairs, and Mr. Wilkens will be greatly missed as Sunday School superintendent of the Church of the Open Door. They go to take charge of an important Christian mission in Honolulu, whither good wishes follow them. D. V. Methvin, a former student of the Institute, and now a field evangelist and organizer for the Baptist Church in North eastern California and Nevada, writes from Moapa, Nev. He has organized seven Sunday Schools in the past few months, and preached to people who had not heard a sermon in many years, and is very happy in his difficult labors.
Frank Green, one of our graduates, who has been working among the Indians of Arizona during the past year, is now at the Institute for a well deserved rest. Charles E. Hurlburt, who has been in this country since early last summer, will have returned to his work at Kijabe, Africa, as head of the Africa Inland Mission, by the time this reaches many of our readers. He returned from Philadelphia in time to spend the holidays with his family in this city. The training school is having a most interesting semester, with an attendance of 296 young men and young women, all earnestly engaged in fitting themselves for their life work of spreading the Gospel. Correspondence is solicited from Christian young people everywhere. In publishing, last month, an article by Edward Whitaker Work, D.
