2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1922 LOGAL CHURGH ADDS 10 MISSION WORKERS Congregational Church to Dis- patch Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wol- sted to Rural India IDEAL QUALIFICATIONS Couple Will Sail for Foreign . Fields About April 30 Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Wolsted have been chosen by vote of the Win- netka Congregational church as its representatives in the Foreign Mis- . sionary field and will soon sail to take up their work in India. April 30 has been named as the probable date of their commissioning. Mr. Wolsted has preached here, they have been in the church on various occasions, met many of its people, and have also been in some of the homes of Winnetka. However, so much interest is manifested in their plans and preparations for this work in that far-away land that it is pleasant to give them a fuller intro- duction than has thus far been pos- sible. Mr. Wolsted was born in Harmony, Minnesota; received both his grade and high school training there, then attended the North Dakota Agricul- tural college, graduating with a B. S. degree in 1916; the same year he en- tered the Chicago Theological semi- nary and after three years' study was given an A. M. degree by the Univer- sity of Chicago, of which the semi- nary is one of the schools. A year later he took a B. D. degree at the same institution. In addition to this training, he has to his credit some months of special work in the Uni- versity of Montpelier, in France. Ideal Qualifications Ten years his summers were spent on farms. He taught district schools three years. Two summers he was actively engaged in raising funds for a $70,000 college Y. M. C.

M. C. A.; all these indicate possibili- ties for an ideal equipment, and those familiar with Mr. Wolsted's appre- hension of these advantages testify to the use he has made of them, as well as to his natural endowments, for the purposes of work to which he is con- secrating his life with an inspiring zeal and devotion. Sturdy Rural Background A North Dakota farm was the scene of Mrs. Wolsted's girlhood. There she had her grammar school educa- tion and most of her high school training. After teaching one term in a rural school near her home, she entered the North Dakota Agricul- tural College--Home Economics (Official Publication) REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF Winnetka State Bank located at Winnekta, State of Illinois, at the close of business on the 10th day of March, 1922, as made to the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State of Illi- nois, pursuant to law.

S. degree in 1916. Beside her regular collegiate work, she took part in a number of ac- tivities, such as Y. W. C. A., Student Council, Student Government com- mittee of the girls' dormitory, Liter- ary Society, Fraternity, etc. Varied teaching periods--each change mak- ing for betterment in experience, re- sponsibility and other essentials-- demonstrated her aptitude, and her fitness for partnership in their pres- ent plan. She taught in the grades, from the seventh up; was principal of a small school; later of a high school in Cooperstown, North Dakota, where she taught Home Economics in connection with the principalship. Go to Rural India Such equipment--particularly Mr. Wolsted's agricultural training both theoretical and practical--coupled with the enthusiasm and zeal which is a marked feature of all their out- look, will make Mr. and Mrs. Wolsted a wonderful asset in the field of their future endeavors--rural India. They expect to visit their homes in Minne- sota and North Dakota about a month; to return to Chicago for Mr. Wolsted's Seminary Commencement, June 4-6: to attend a missionary con- ference in Boston, June 8-15; then to be ready to sail. The church feels that it has been most fortunate in finding for its mis- sionary operations Mr. and Mrs. Wolsted and Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds-- two young couples of rare qualities, energy, unselfishness, vision, spiri- tuality, and a real hunger to be of fullest service. Assured Effective Support It is interesting to note that the adoption of Mr. and Mrs. Wolsted comes without material addition to the financial Budget of the. church, as announced in the Every-Member Canvass of December, 1921. Under the regular aportionment to Benevolent work for 1922, covered in the budget, $2,880 goes to the Foreign Mission field. The adoption then, of Mr. and Mrs. Wolsted, just as in the case of Mr.and Mrs. Reynolds, merely trans- fers the present gifts of the church from the general fund to the specific support of these two couples. The two salaries together do not quite equal the amount which the church has already pledged. The church does stand ready to watch over their necessities in the same way that it would care for any member of its staff, and has been able to do for Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds a number of things which their stated salaries would not provide. The church expresses a desire to in every way material and spiritual stand back of these missionaries with heartiest support. PURCHASE CORNER PROPERTY Thomas S. Bulger, of Winnetka, has purchased the entire corner south of his present home, 400 Sheridan road, extending to Willow street on the south. The stated consideration was $14,000.
