The College of Medical Evangelists, Loma Linda, Cal.
By Newton Evans
OUR readers will doubtless be pleased to know of the distribution of the graduates of our medical college. Long before their graduation, four of these had been chosen for foreign fields. Three of these, Drs. A. N. Donaldson and Dr. D. E. Davenport and wife, will go to China. Dr. Olive Smith, and her husband, who is a graduate nurse, expect to labor in India. Dr. A. R. Dickson has a position as interne in the California Hospital in Los Angeles. The other graduates are all located in various denominational institutions for a time. The medical course proper having been well established, the faculty has determined to give more especial attention to developing and perfecting the medical evangelistic courses. There are two of these courses. One is a two-year course designed to speedily prepare workers for needy fields. These should be graduate nurses, Bible workers, young ministers, and others who have had some experience in our work but who desire a better preparation for reaching the people with the truth. The other evangelistic course covers quite fully the complete medical course of four years, but does not require the same preliminary training as the medical course. While this course is designed to give its students the qualifications of physicians, they are not to seek recognition as such, but are to labor as evangelists. We are told that thousands ought to be given this preparation. Any of our young people desiring further information regarding these courses should send to the College of Medical Evangelists, Loma Linda, Cal., for a calendar. The attention of our readers is called to the September 15 number of the Signs of the Times. This number of this valuable missionary periodical is devoted to health and its preservation, and is got out by the students and faculty of the College of Medical Evangelists. Don't fail to get and read this valuable health number, and pass it on to your neighbors and friends. NEWTON EVANS, M. D., President.
