Parties of students had also visited the hospital. Mr. W. Moir, of Dunedin, a 1926 graduate of the institute, was sailing for missionary work in Paraguay, and Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Turner, of Auckland, 1927 graduates, were sailing for the Argentine on April 13. Mr. A. M. Johnston, the evangelist of the extension department, was conducting a three weeks’ mission in the Baptist Tabernacle, and would commence a mission at Grange Road Baptist Church on April 7, and another at St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church on April 28. The three Bible correspondence courses, Biblical, doctrinal, and practical, were now in the institute, and quite a number of rew students had been enrolled.
