West Indian Union and School Reports

By Editor

We learn of excellent meetings in Kingston, Jamaica, during the Jamaica Conference session and the meetings of the West Indian Union Committee. Doubtless a report will soon be made. Among transfers of workers we learn that Elder H. C. Goodrich, who has desired release from official work, after fourteen years' service in the tropics, is transferred from the West Caribbean field to the Isle of Pines, Cuba, where he will work among the American settlers, Elder W. G. Kneeland taking the presidency of the West Caribbean Conference, with headquarters at Cristobal, C. Z. Elder D. E. Wellman, of Jamaica, was transferred to the Panama field; and Elder E. C. Boger, of British Guiana, takes the presidency of the Jamaica Conference. The workers of the West Indian Union are pushing their lines outward, having a very difficult field to cover in view of the scattered situation of the territory and the difficulty of getting about quickly in it.

We have reached the end of another school year. From reports that have come to us we judge that a larger number of students will go out from our various schools to engage in active missionary work in the field this year than ever before. We rejoice indeed that this will be so. It was for the purpose of training gospel workers that these schools were established. We believe that our schools are more nearly meeting this object than ever before in their history. Let us remember in prayer the young men and women who take up field work during the summer months. Many of them will be engaged in selling our publications. They will be out alone, subject to trial and discouragement. Let us hold up their hands in prayer, asking God to open before them the hearts and homes of the people to the gospel message which they bear.
