Workers Depart for New Fields

This week marks the departure of two leading workers who have long been connected with the local work here in Washington, and in a general way with the work throughout the field. Elder I. H. Evans sails for the Orient to undertake direct supervision of the great field to which he was elected at the last General Conference, as vice-president of the Asiatic Division. His family will not go to the field until another year. Brother Evans's active connection with the work in the East will be heartily welcomed by our brethren and sisters in the various Oriental mission fields, who have long felt the need of the excellent counsel and help which he will be able to give. Prof. Frederick Griggs, for some years secretary of the General Conference Educational Department, is leaving for College View, Neb., where he will take the presidency of Union College. En route, he will attend the educational convention at Berrien Springs, Mich., and other gatherings through the summer. Brother Griggs's experience in the educational work will enable him to render excellent service to this large institution. Our prayers will go with these workers to their new fields.
