Fields of Labor for American Students of the London Bible School
The following letter recently received from Prof. H. R. Salisbury, principal of the London Bible School, gives interesting items of information concerning our young people from America who have attended the London Bible School during the past year:— 451 Holloway Road, London N.,
June 10, 1903. Dear Brother Palmer: It has occurred to me that you would like to know just where all the students you sent to us from America are spending their vacation. Perhaps you are in touch with the most of them, but as we have made several changes at our general meeting at Southsea, I will give you the complete list. Brother and Sister Nethery are canvassing at Edinburgh, and are having remarkable success. Brother and Sister Jensen are Bible workers in the South England Conference. We have not yet definitely located them. They were working the past month in Southampton. Mrs. Asay is with Elder Andross in Leicester, engaged in canvassing. Miss Scoggins is cooking in the sanitarium at Caterham. The Bond brothers and Mrs. Bond left yesterday for Paris, on their way to Spain. They have done themselves credit in their work in Spanish at our school this past winter. Their Spanish master, Mr. R. D. Monteverde, told me that they could begin work the day they arrived. They have taken what Spanish books we had here at the International Tract Society. Brother and Sister Marchus are with Brother Andross. Brother Shaffer writes me from Wales that he never before did so well in the canvassing work. Brother Bates is in the south of England, working the news agents for Good Health. Brother Baker is head nurse in Belfast. I believe they have been well placed for the interest of the work. They all seemed satisfied with their work at the school, and several of them are planning to return in September. The outlook for the attendance for next year is very encouraging. We are getting a good start on an educational fund for the aid of students. We will be again near the International Tract Society office in rented buildings, but with better facilities than last year. I was very grateful for the interest taken in the school at our meeting which has just closed at Southsea. All the leading brethren, especially those who were from abroad, “lent a hand.” We have not yet completed our faculty for next year. With kindest regards and best wishes, in which Mrs. Salisbury joins me, I remain, with Christian love, Very sincerely,
H. R. Salisbury.
