TO FAR OFF INDIA

Miss Gail Tallman Has Gone as a Missionary

Saturday there left our little city one who will take with her in her journey the prayers of all good people. We refer to Miss Gail Tallman, daughter of our friends Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Tallman of Seeley township. Miss Tallman's objective point is far away India, where she goes as a Missionary and physician. Miss Tallman graduated, as we understand it, from the Guthrie County High School at Panora some years ago. She laid out her life work and with characteristic energy and indomitable will began her studies and fitting herself for that work. For nine years she has been a splendid student and worker, and only recently did she consider herself fitted for the life duties she has imposed upon herself. And just here we wish to say no one has left our shores better fitted for such work than does Dr. Gail Tallman. She is far above the average young lady in native ability and education. She is a finished lady in every sense and goes to her work not only well equipped, but with her heart and mind fixed upon the work of lifting poor heathen India up to a higher plane of living, and into the Christian family of nations. THE TIMES joins with all Dr. Tallman's friends here in bidding her Godspeed in her noble and consecrated life work.
