! Grinnell, July Sin addition to the
regular communion service at the
| Congregational church here yesterday
morning was the very interesting one
of commissioning Miss Louisa Sargent
and Miss Alice Reed TO go to China
! this fall and work in the Techou dis
Grinnell. The morning sermon was
! by Rev. A. B. DeHaan, who is at the
| head of the China end of the Grinnell-
| China movement and is in this coun-
try for the season looking up recruits
and awakening general interest IN
the China field. Faith in three things.
ones self. ones fellow humans, and
in God, was the theme forcefully pre-
scented. Following the sermon Presi-
dent Main of Iowa College, in the
name of the American board, admin
istered the obligation and presented
the commissions. Mrs. Ella Reinklng
Towle, of this city, gave the new mis-
sionarieS good counsel and, IN behalf
of the women's board Of missions OF
the interior pinned on them the silver
keys. Mrs. A. 3. DeHaan welcomed
them into the ranks of the active
foreign workers and pledged faithful
cooperation. Miss Sargent and Miss
Reed are graduates of Iowa College
and this church is especially inter-
ested in them for this reason and also
for the additional reason that the
women of the Grinnell church are the
financial support of the work at
Techou, where they are to be.
