FOR ABYSSINIAN MISSION
FAREWELL GIVEN TO FOUR CANDIDATES Four missionaries for Abyssinia attended a farewell in the Baptist Tabernacle last evening. The missionaries are Miss E. A. Downey, Miss M. E. Orme. Messrs. A. G. Roke and L. A. Davison. They leave for their work on October IX. Mr. C. J. Rolls, dean of the Bible Training Institute, of which the missionaries are ex-students, expressed regret at the separation, but said that the Abyssinian mission field was highly worthy. Dr. W. H. Pettit spoke on behalf of the New Zealand Council of the Sudan Interior Mission. After the four candidates had spoken, a hymn was sung by the choir of the Bible Training Institute. Contributions for the mission were received at the end of the meeting.
