Visiting Missionaries The Student Missionary Union has been favored with the presence o f and ad dresses by a number of well-known mis sionaries from the foreign field. MR. HARVEY FARMER, o f the North African Mission, brought a stirring mes sage from his field. MR .-ANDREW P. UHLINGER T 6 , o f the Africa Inland Mission, who has been on the field for ten years, presented the challenge o f the heart o f the dark continent. The use o f stereopticon slides added to the interest o f his message. DR. and MRS. HOW ARD TAYLOR addressed the student body and spoke before the Union. They have been giving thé month of March and April to meetings on the Pacific Coast. DR. TAYLOR is the son of DR. J. HUD SON TAYLOR, founder o f the China Inland Mission.

The pres ence and message o f these missionaries have been-a real blessing to all o f us. —o— MR. and MRS.

No other organization within the Institute has been more active during the school year. The deputational work has been worthy o f note. —o— Notes From the Evening School It has been the custom of the Evening School students to give a steamer rug to each one of their company going to a foreign field. They had the privilege re cently o f giving such a gift to ALBERT LEROUX, who sailed for Belgium to work among his own people. This will make the fourth evening school student who has gone to that needy land. —o— MR AND MRS. F. J. RIGG, o f San tiago, South America, write that God is blessing their efforts.
