War Reports and School News
A POSTAL card from Brother A. F. Vaucher, secretary of the Latin Union Conference, written from Gland, Switzerland, says: “Brother Tieche and I left Paris on account of the war. I appreciate the articles on prayer in the REVIEW of August 13, and I hope these urgent calls will find a hearty response from our people in America. All is quiet in Switzerland now, but most of our church members are without labor. Nevertheless we are sure God will provide for our every need. The mission workers still in the field are ready to proclaim the message more powerfully than ever before.” PROF. B. G. WILKINSON, president of the Columbia Union Conference, reports that although a number of students’ who would naturally attend the school in Mount Vernon have enrolled in the Washington Missionary College, the academy opened with only eight less than the attendance of last year. This certainly promises well for its coming school year. While in Ohio recently, Brother Wilkinson spoke by invitation in the Methodist Episcopal church of Akron, on the war situation, and in the evening addressed a union mass meeting made up of the congregations of the Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Reformed churches on the subject of temperance. His message at both services was kindly received. The pastors of the several churches with their congregations manifested a deep interest in the subjects presented.
