Our Schools

By F. G.

Emmanuel Missionary College

EMMANUEL MISSIONARY COLLEGE was established, as we most firmly believe, under the counsel and guidance of the Lord, and it has done good work. The school is beautifully located; we have perhaps no school whose natural surroundings are any more perfectly adapted for providing a Christian education. Here a school can be conducted upon right principles for the culture of mind, body, and soul, amid the beautiful scenes of rural life. This college is located in the heart of one of our largest union conferences, where there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of young men and women who should have the benefits of this school. For this school.
The world is crying for educated men and women who are thoroughly consecrated to the service of Christ. When we think of the great mission fields of China and India, with half the population of the earth, with their languages and customs and the whole bent of thought so different from ours, they appeal to us most earnestly for help. But it takes trained minds, it takes strong bodies, it takes, above all, a firm faith in this message, to go into these lands, battle with the difficulties, and overcome the obstacles that are there to be met, and reap the harvest of souls. And there is a harvest of souls to be reaped.
It is for these great mission fields that Emmanuel Missionary College was established and exists to-day. Important changes are being made in the personnel of the faculty of this school. ElderN. W. Kauble, who has been with the school for a number of years, and who has given to it his most earnest and devoted efforts, has left the school to take up work in a new school which is being established in Kansas. Prof. O. J. Graf, who has been connected with our educational work for some time, recently at College View, Neb., has accepted the presidency of this school.
We sincerely trust that the school will have the hearty support of the people of the Lake Union Conference under its new management. We believe that there is a work for it to do, and if our people uphold it, and give to it of their young people and of their financial support, it will do a splendid work in the finishing of this message.
