Workers Leaving America for Foreign Fields
QUITE a number of workers are now leaving America for other fields. Brother and Sister W. H. Wakeham and four children, of Ohio, left New York for London on Wednesday of last week. They will go on to Hamburg, and from there to Egypt, which will be Brother Wakeham’s field of labor. On Wednesday, October 1, another party will sail from New York. It will include Brother and Sister Carl Jensen and Sister Myrtle Asay, of Iowa, and Brother and Sister J. Nethery, of Nebraska, who go to England, Sister Cora Blodgett, of Nebraska, who goes to Natal, South Africa, and Brother B. L. Morse, of Nebraska, who goes to France. Five days later another party will sail from Vancouver for the Orient. It will consist of the Doctors Lockwood, recently of the Portland (Oregon) Sanitarium, for Japan, the first medical workers to go to that field, and Brother and Sister E. H. Wilbur, of Iowa, for China. We rejoice that re-enforcements are thus going to the front, and we pray that they may be brought safely to their various destinations, and greatly blessed in their work.
