Findings

Dr. Leota L. Holland, who has been connected with the Battle Creek Sanitarium for some months, has accepted a call to unite with the Pennsylvania Sanitarium, at 1929 Girard Ave., Philadelphia, Pa. Miss Iva Holland, nurse, sister of Dr. Holland, who has been connected with the Battle Creek Sanitarium for many years, has also connected with this sanitarium, as head lady nurse.

Miss Daisy Ingle, of Cape Town, South Africa, passed through Washington some weeks ago on her way to the Pacific Coast, where she will complete the nurses’ course. She has for two years been connected with the Plumstead Sanitarium, of which Dr. George Thomason has been the superintendent. Miss Ingle will complete her course, and return to South Africa to act as head nurse of the Plumstead Sanitarium.

Dr. W. C. Dunscombe is responding to a call to make Japan his future field of labor. Dr. and Mrs. Dunscombe are spending some time with her people in Chicago. Dr. Dunscombe is taking post-graduate work in the meantime. He will make a visit to his people in Massachusetts and Maine, and then will proceed directly to his field of labor. Dr. S. A. Lockwood, who has had charge of the Kobe Sanitarium for years, is very desirous of connecting with the work in China. He will leave Japan sometime in August or September, and it is expected that Dr. Dunscombe will arrive there in time to relieve him so that he may go to his new field of labor. Dr. Myrtle S. Lockwood is at present at the sanitarium at Loma Linda, Cal. She has returned to this country on a furlough, as her health has been somewhat impaired by her heavy work in Japan. She hopes to derive much benefit from her stay at the Loma Linda Sanitarium.

Dr. H. W. Miller, of Sin Iang Cheo, China, writes: “We believe the Medical Department is a very important part of our work, and as you will come in contact with physicians and nurses continually, you could perhaps induce many of them to take up work in these foreign fields, in helping to scatter the seeds of truth. I think we might be of some assistance to them in helping them to feel the burden for this field; should you find those who you think could be induced to come, we should be glad to have their addresses, also to hear from them. I must tell you that in these fields a great work is to be done. Only a short time ago I took a trip to Peking, and when I saw what a small area in China we have simply begun on, it made me long to meet with some of our young men and women who are especially fitted for the foreign missionary work by already having a medical education. I wish I could picture before them the greatness of the work to be done here, and this field’s need of such workers.”
