MISS PEARL AGUE.
The above portrait represents
one of our popular youngladies who
is devoting her life to the cause
of the Master and is stationed in
Hiroshima, Japan.
Miss Ague is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Ague, of Hill
street, and was sent to the foreign
mission field in September, 1903,
by the Ghristian Alliance of Pittsburg. She will remain abroad about
four years more. '
She has written many letters to
her parents and friends and uppermost in all of them is her Ghristian
work. Some of the missives contain interesting descriptive matter
concerning the people and the
country, and she is mastering in a
degree, the Japanese language,
which is quite a task for the new
workers in the field,'        > ;
We hope to be able in the near
future to reproduce some pictures
from this far away station.
