A Pioneer School

By H. J. Farman

ON Sabbath, April 29, the church of Naples and a part of the Asheville church met with the church at Hominy, N. C., where Prof. and Mrs. E. C. Waller, Drs. H. P. and Alice Parker, and Brother and Sister Wm. Steinman are conducting an industrial school. This school is composed of twenty-one as fine young people as you often meet. They all seem to have a determined purpose to make themselves of real service to Christ. An excellent spirit prevails in the school, and prosperity is attending the work in a marked manner. Professor Jasperson and wife, of Michigan, have now united their interest with those already named, so as to strengthen the work. The need of additional buildings and appliances to do aggressive work is very apparent.

The purpose of our meeting was twofold: first, to become better acquainted was with one another’s work; and second, to study together what each can do to promote the great work before us as a people. The topic of the day was, “What Laymen can Do to Advance the Message.” A large number of the company entered into the study with real enthusiasm, and many practical thoughts for definite work were brought forward. All expressed themselves as having received a blessing from the day’s exercises.
