Missionary Class at Healdsburg College.
By Editor
AT the late California Conference the following preamble and resolution were passed:— WHEREAS, In the providence of God the College at Healdsburg has been established for the special purpose of preparing persons to be efficient workers in all branches of his cause, and as competent teachers have been secured to give instruction on all points, and especially on the Tract and Missionary work in its different parts; therefore, Resolved, That our ministers and people in this Conference should seek out worthy persons of ability, and urge them to attend the school, that they may receive such training as will enable them to do missionary work wherever they may be called to labor, in a manner that will be pleasing to the Lord and approved of his people. For a long time the trustees of the College have been trying to secure the services of some competent person to take charge of the missionary class and give special instructions in regard to doing missionary work, but up to the present time they have been unable to get the desired help. Now, however, we are happy to announce that by vote of the General Conference there is secured to the College the services of Mrs. F. H. Sisley, who is especially fitted for this position, having had charge of the same work for several years at Battle Creek College, where she has met with great success. California is especially favored in securing the services of Sister Sisley, and we trust that our brethren and sisters all over the coast will show their appreciation of it by giving to the College a large attendance during the coming year. There ought to be one or more persons sent from every church on this coast. Those should be sent who are active, energetic, and devoted to the work. Brethren, shall we attend to this matter at once, so that there may be a goodly number to receive the benefits of this special course? We must not let this opportunity pass by unimproved, for we know not when we may have another like it. Search out and encourage the proper persons to attend. Sister Sisley expects to be at Healdsburg to enter upon her work the first of January, 1887. Let all who possibly can be there at the commencement of the term.
