Workers Depart for European and African Fields

LAST week Thursday W. B. White and wife, O. K. Butler and wife (daughter of Brother and Sister White) and their two children, Marjorie and Grace, also Miss Florence White, left New York, on the “Baltic,” for Europe. Here another family tie must be broken, as Florence goes on to Persia to unite in marriage with F. F. Oster laboring in that field, while the remainder of the party go to South Africa, their future field. Brother White has made many friends during his stay in the Atlantic Union Conference while serving as its president, but cheerfully accepted the call to South Africa at General Conference, to serve in like capacity there,—because of R. C. Porter’s removal to China,—where the brethren await his coming to give him and his associates a warm welcome. In this same party Elder I. J. Hankins and wife returned to South Africa from about a year’s furlough in the States.
