Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Theodore Pitcairn in Ladybrand, Orange Free State. Pendleton encloses the authorization Pitcairn requested. Pendleton was glad to learn that the new building near Qhuqhu has been completed and is now in use for services. He asks whether Jonas Mphatse formally officiates at or near Qhuqhu, and he inquires what has become of Rev. Mofokeng. Pendleton comments that it looks as if Pitcairn’s day school at Alpha might “grow out of hand,” and he wonders how Pitcairn will find competent teachers. Pendleton informs Pitcairn that theolog John Jiyana is doing well in Bryn Athyn; He anticipates Jiyana will be a fine minister by the time he finishes schooling. The Assembly is approaching, and everyone in Bryn Athyn is busy preparing. Pendleton hopes Pitcairn will send an interesting report of his work in South Africa for the occasion. Names mentioned: Jonas Mphatse, (Rev. Samuel Mabina) Mofokeng, John Jiyana
