MISSIONARIES APPOINTED.
At the meeting of the Board held just before the Convention, Miss
Nellie A. Miner, a member of the Clav-St. church, of this city', was
accepted by the Board as a missionary to China. Miss Miner is highly
recommended by her pastor, Rev. S. C. Clopton, and by a number of
gentlemen in Richmond. She is a graduate of the High School of
the city, and has taught for several years in the public schools.
At a called meeting held May 23d, three other young ladies were
appointed: Miss Vallie A. Page, of North Carolina, to China, and
Misses Lillian A. McDavid, of South Carolina, and Sallie B. Cooke, of
Kentucky, to Saltillo, Mexico. Each of these ladies came well recom¬
mended to the Board by many brethren who knew them well, and
several members of the Board had the pleasure of meeting and talking
freely with them at Birmingham, and all were fully convinced of their
fitness for the work to which the}- are appointed.
At the regular meeting June 1st, Rev. J. J. Taylor, of Arkansas, was
accepted for Brazil, to take the place of brother T. T. Martin, who
was chosen to go to Rio, to aid brother Bagby,but who was poisoned
at a wedding in Kentucky- and his health so affected as to prevent his
going this year. Brother Taylor was appointed, some two years or
more ago, to North China, but on account of the death of his wife,
was constrained to withdraw. He has since been professor of] Greek
in Ouachita College, in Arkansas. He is a full graduate of the Semi¬
nary, and has been quite successful both as pastor and teacher. He is
excellently well qualified, in all respects, for the work in Rio.
Miss Claudia White, a native of Maryland, was appointed to China.
Miss White has attended the Mission Training School in Chicago, and
has had considerable missionary experience among the Indians in the
West, and for some time past, among the Chinese in California, in con¬
nection with the work of Dr. Hartwell, by whom she is most highly
commended.
