From the Clinton (Mo.) Seminary

Of his recent visit to the new German Seminary at Clinton, Mo., Brother H. H. Hall writes as follows:—

“Brother Cochran and I went to Clinton, January 30, and I gave a stereopticon talk there that night; but what occurred the next morning will perhaps be of more interest to you. The students were called together at nine o’clock, it being a holiday. Brother Cochran spoke of the great need among the Germans in Missouri, and especially in the St. Louis Mission Field. He also pointed out the opportunities for magazine work. I followed with a brief statement of our their plans for canvassers’ bands in the schools, and the facilities that we have to give those who expect to enter the field this year. Professor Grauer gave a short talk, and asked those to arise who wished to take the band work, and go into the field this season. To our surprise, thirty-nine arose at once. Two young women who were not present gave us their names later. It was one of the finest looking groups of young people I have ever seen in a canvassing class. Before the meeting closed, Professor Grauer told them that he would like to see our next stereopticon lecture give not only the seminary (a slide for which I had presented the night before), but their first canvassing class as well. All those, therefore, who were actually going into the field, he invited to the front of the building, where a photograph was taken of them. We afterward selected leaders for the canvassers’ bands, and had a good meeting with them, outlining the band work in detail. I believe we may expect great things from the Clinton Seminary in the book business.”
