Training School at Depok

In the village of Depok, Java, is a training school for native evangelists, which was opened in 1878, and already seventy-one have been graduated; and of these pupils twenty-eight were Battaks from Sumatra, ten Dyaks from Borneo, nine Sangirese, eight Alfoors from Almaheira, eight Javanese, seven Sundanese from West Java, and two Papuans from Dutch New Guinea. Malay is the language used, and in spite of the difference of race a brotherly spirit prevails.
