Changes in Union College Workers
By C. C. LEWIS
SEVERAL changes have taken place in the ranks of Union College workers since the annual calendar was issued. Elder L. A. Hoopes has gone to Australia, in harmony with the recommendation of the last General Conference. Miss Carrie Segebart is on her way to South America to act as matron of the school at Diamante, Argentina. Prof. M. W. Newton has been called to Battle Creek, to take charge of the sale of Dr. Kellogg's books. We are sorry to lose these faithful and tried laborers, but are glad Union College is privileged to send forth to the mission fields able men and women, not only from its students, but from the ranks of the teachers as well. No doubt many are interested to learn what provision has been made for supplying the places thus made vacant. Hence it is with undisguised pleasure that we make the following announcements:— Elder M. D. Mattson has been engaged to conduct the classes in Bible doctrines, ministers' training, and other subjects carried by Elder Hoopes. It was for a time expected that Elder E. W. Farnsworth would occupy this position, but authoritative word came that he must not be tied to any institution, but be left free to respond to important calls for labor in the gospel ministry. Elder Mattson has been Bible teacher in South Lancaster Academy for eight or ten years. He comes highly recommended by Elder G. A. Irwin, Elders E. T. and K. C. Russell, Professor Griggs, and others. Elder S. N. Haskell and his wife have promised to be with us during the winter term. An announcement of a special course for Christian workers will be made in due time. Prof. H. A. Morrison will take the place made vacant by the resignation of Professor Newton. To fill the offices of business manager and matron, Brother N. B. Emerson and his wife, of Topeka, Kan., have been engaged. Brother Emerson has been for some time the financial agent of the Kansas Conference. Sister Emerson has for years been connected with the Sabbath-school and young people's work. They are both well19qualified to discharge the duties of these offices. Thus, while laborers from Union College have gone forth to other needy fields, their places have been filled with able workmen, and all will be ready for the opening of school, September 12.
