THE KING’S BUSINESS
Church of the Brethren, Brethren in Christ; Mennonite, Nazarene and Church of God; also the Church of the Open Door (Interdenominational). It is interesting to note the wide variety of trades and occupations represented by the class, among which are those of grocer, farmer, dressmaker, baker, printer; auto mobile, steam and electrical engineer. Six were engaged in school-teaching, eight in stenographic and clerical work, and one was cashier of a bank. Nine came directly from other educational institutions, while only three were engaged professionally in religious work before coming to- the Bible Institute, two of these as pastors and one as pastor’s wife. In marked contrast with their former employments are their plans for the future. There is not one who does not expect to engage in special Christian work, and forty- one of the forty-seven have decided upon definite fields of service. Sixteen have heard the call of the Lord of the Harvest to the foreign mission field, three to Egypt, five to East Africa and the Congo, three to South America, one to China and one to India. One of the graduates is a Korean who before coming to this country was a high-school teacher in the city of Peng Yang, and who is going back to teach the Word in the Bible Institute at Seoul. Another, an Armenian, whose family has suffered indescribable atrocities at' the hands of the Turks, and many of whom have laid down their lives for their faith in Jesus Christ, expects to return to the Turkish Empire to preach the Gospel. Another is a native of Egypt and will go back to carry the Good News to that land. Of those who will remain in the homeland,
two plan to work among the mountain whites of the Southeastern States, and one among the Japanese on the Pacific Coast. Eleven will engage in pastoral work, four intend to enter the evangelistic field, and three expect to make Bible Teaching their life work. Twelve, at least, are planning to take further training before beginning work in their chosen fields, some remaining for post-graduate work at the Bible Insti tute, while others will study in the semi nary, university, and hospital.
