Our Training College in London
By H. R. Salisbury
OUR half year closed December 23, and many of our students who live away from London went home for a ten days’ holiday. This has been well earned; for the results of the examination show that faithful work has been done by all. Several who came for the first time at the beginning of the year, and who were backward because they had been so long out of school, have expressed themselves as greatly encouraged by the progress which they have made. On Wednesday evening before Christmas, which marked the end of our half year, a very pleasant gathering of teachers and students was held in Holloway Hall. All the members of the board who were in London were present, together with a number of former students, some of whom had come from a distance. An enjoyable program was given by the students. The half year has slipped quickly away, and we look forward with hope and courage to the work of the remaining months. We are cheered by the spirit of consecration and sacrifice shown by the students, and are encouraged by the determined efforts which they have put forth to prepare themselves for thorough and acceptable work in the great field. I am glad to say that not one penny of the money from the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” or donations which have been made for the establishment of a permanent school in Great Britain has been used for the running expenses of the college. It is being kept for the purchase of a permanent institution. We hope the day is not far distant when enough will have been received.
