Further Appointments to Fields Abroad

By William Ambrose Spicer

FROM the close of the General Conference until Friday, the thirteenth, the General Conference Committee was in daily session, considering mission field matters.

Committee actions relating to the movement of laborers were taken as follows:—

A. G. Daniells, president of the General Conference, to plan visits to other lands as follows: Europe, July to September; West Indian Union, November; July, 1914, to Australasia; thence to India, in December, 1914, until spring of 1915; to Egypt, the Levant, and the Balkans, April to June, reaching Germany in time for the first European Division session, July, 1915.

W. E. Hancock and wife, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, to Europe, for Spanish work.

R. N. Studt and wife, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, to Venezuela.

R. Joyce and wife, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, to Great Britain, for the book work.

N. S. Miller, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, to the East Caribbean Mission, for the book work.

George F. Furnival, of South Lancaster Academy, to Jamaica, West Indies, as a teacher.

M. B. Butterfield and wife, of Iowa, to Trinidad, West Indies.

F. Burton Jewell and wife, of Nebraska, to South Africa, to join the Tsungwesi Mission, where recently we have suffered the loss by death of Brother Lynn Bowen.

J. C. Rogers and wife, on furlough, from Africa, to return to that field to open a new region in Northeast Rhodesia.

Carl Reidt and wife, of New Jersey, to Brazil.

Miss L. Corinne Hay, of Massachusetts, to Brazil, to engage in Bible work.

Carl C. Specht and wife, of South Missouri, teachers, to Brazil.

Miss Florence White, of South Lancaster Academy, to Persia, spending some time before departure in the Washington Dispensary.

Miss Anna Hoffman, of the General Conference Office, to Jamaica, West Indies.

R. Hyder, of British Guiana, to India.

Miss Iva Sumner, of South Lancaster Academy, to Jamaica, as teacher.

Jacob Peters and wife, teachers, of North Dakota, to Brazil.

Henry Haefft and wife, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, to Brazil.

Henry Mangold, of the Friedensau School, Germany, to Ecuador, South America.

James Thompson, of California, to Uruguay, South America.

A number of other similar actions taken may be reported later, after consultation with those concerned.

It is evident that plans for so large an extension of the work in mission fields can be carried out only by continued and ever-enlarging liberality on the part of the believers.

But the time has fully come for the message to spread through all lands, and the General Conference believes that our people will respond as never before to calls such as never before pressed upon us.

W. A. SPICER. Secretary.
