NINA M. PARKHURST is engaged in private nursing at 545 West Allen St., Springfield, Ill.

Mrs. Edith E. Bruce is at present acting as medical secretary of the Southern Illinois Conference. Her address is No. 300 West Allen St., Springfield, Ill.

Mr. James Irwin has made his nurses' training a stepping-stone to a broader sphere of usefulness in the gospel ministry. He and his wife are located in Lowell, Mich., where he is engaged in ministerial work.

Mrs. Andrew Speedie writes from Conconully, Wash.: “For some years I have been laboring in the medical missionary work in various places, but of late I have had to give it up on account of failing health. I do what I can among my neighbors, and try to spread health principles wherever opportunities present themselves. What we need is a physician to locate here. This is a new country. There are small towns, of from three to five hundred inhabitants, about fifteen miles apart. There are but five physicians in the county. If one of our physicians who could perform simple surgery could locate here, great good would be accomplished for the cause of truth.”

We are in receipt of a number of letters containing expressions similar to the following, which is quoted from a letter by G. C. Emory, M. D., of Preston, Idaho: “I do not know whether I come under the classification of ‘medical missionaries,’ as I am engaged in private practise here.” We desire to assure all such that every Seventh-day Adventist physician or nurse who is trying to hold up the principles of health reform together with the truths of the third angel’s message has our sympathy, and that we desire to do all we can to help him in the work he is doing. Our interest is in seeing the truths which we love given to the world as soon as possible, and we hope always to be in a position to help in every way possible those who are working to this same end.
