Mission and Bible Teachers’ Institute News

LAST week Brother R. C. Raff, who spent the winter at the Foreign Mission Seminary, left New York for Porto Rico, to continue book work in the island. He had formerly labored there, but was reappointed to the same field at the General Conference. Brother Wm. Steele, superintendent of the mission, accompanied him, Sister Steele remaining a few weeks longer in the States among friends.

THERE has just closed at Takoma Park a Bible teachers' institute, which has been in session since the close of the General Conference. This institute was designed particularly for the benefit of the Bible teachers in our schools. The following teachers have been in attendance either the whole or a part of the time: O. A. Johnson, Walla Walla College; E. J. Hibbard, Pacific Union College; J. A. L. Derby, Lodi Normal School; J. F. Harder, Clinton German Seminary; J. N. Anderson and C. Sorenson, Foreign Mission Seminary; N. S. Ashton, Mount Vernon College; O. F. Butcher, South Lancaster Academy; W. H. Wakeham, Emmanuel Missionary College; H. S. Prener, Keene Academy; H. C. Lacey, Union College. The institute for the most part was under the direction of Prof. H. R. Salisbury. The forenoons were given to Bible study, the discussion of methods of teaching, etc. The afternoons and evenings were devoted to personal study and research work in connection with the libraries of Washington. These brethren all feel that the institute was a profitable season, and return to their schools with new courage and inspiration for the year to come.
