Loma Linda School of Evangelists

By Geo. K. Abbott, M. D.

OUR work here is progressing very well. Elders R. S. Owen and Luther Warren will be connected with the school during the coming year. The Lord has greatly blessed our field work this year. During the first half of the year, each class spent from two to four weeks in field work. At present we are developing the field work on a little different plan, designed to give each student a half-day each week in canvassing, giving Bible readings, health talks, etc. We find that this is a much more satisfactory way of carrying on the work. It seems to us that it is also productive of much more good. Some of our oldest students are taking more active interest in it, and are entering the field. Our nurses' training-class is to continue for ten months. The length of term for advanced students is only nine months.

Through the avenue of the Sabbath-school each quarter our students take up special donations for some part of the field. This is in addition to the regular Sabbath-school donations. We shall be glad to devote the next quarter's special donation to helping the Latin Union school. The plans which we have adopted in this matter have proved a great blessing, and have created a greater interest in foreign missions.
