HlHEIE f.Hf t 'T UiEFFlil' Doings of the Faculty McPherson College should feel highly honored by the fact that our president, Dr. D. W. Kurtz, has been invited to speak at the World's Sunday School Convention which convenes at Tokyo, Japan, October 5- 14, 1920, Dr. Kurtz is vice president of the International Sun- day School Convention. He and Mrs. Kurtz will spend the months of September and October on the trip and will travel via the Pacific in company with a large party of delegates. Dr. Kurtz has done many big things this year. We have space to mention them only. He spent ten days in a life work conference in Colorado University, and a short time at Nebraska U. and Kansas U. He spoke at the Union Lake Bible Conference with several renowned speakers. His services are again secured for Estes Park this summer and he will speak to the state Y workers at Holister, Missouri. He has turned down scores of important lectures and commencements. Dr. H. J. Harnly is the old stand by,' of the college. He has been with the college twenty eight years with only one year off which he spent at Leland Stanford. He has been granted a year of absence and will go abroad with the missionary party of the church which leaves in August. He will be in attendance at the Tokyo Convention and will visit the mission fields of China, India, and central Africa. He will make an extensive study of the educational conditions in these fields. We wish for the Doctor a pleasant journey and know he will have an enjoyable time. There will be no J. J. here to buy syrup for us next year. Pro- fessor J. J. Yoder has been chosen, among others, to make an extensive visit of the mission fields of all denominations. He will represent the General Mission Board at the Tokyo Convention. The party will visit China, Ceylon, India, Africa, and very likely Denmark and Sweden. They will be accompanied thru Africa by an armed guard and will pro- bably establish a new mission point in central Africa. Dr. Culler was granted a leave of absence last year. He sailed with the relief party for Armenia and arrived there April 22. He was ap- pointed director of a large district, with Marash,Turkey, as headquarters. A hospital, eight orphanages, several schools, and a cloth factory em- ploying seven hundred people, were established. Thousands of refugees were helped and thousands of people were taken back to their former homes, and furnished with food, clothing, and capital with which to be- gin anew. The monthly budget for supplies amounted to twenty thou- sand dollars. He personally supervised the reconstruction in many vil- lages. Since his return to America and the Alma Mater he has been called to lecture extensively for the Inter-Church World Movment. As this is printed the situation of Miss Evelyn, Trostle is uncertain. She has been in relief work in Turkey for the past eight months. She had charge of two girls orphanages in Marash until trouble began in January. She stayed by her Armenian orphans until she was compelled by the Turks to leave Marash. The latest press reports say she escaped safely to Constantinople. 7'1c'eufy-Sin:
