1899 Bicycle Boys Trip to Scotland
In October, 1899, William Irvine led an experimental group of 8 young men to Scotland to work a mission, putting into practice the Matt.10 instructions Jesus gave the 12 disciples. A notation on some copies of this photo reads: "Picture taken in Ireland before these men professed." The dates they entered the work, and the names of the men are printed on some copies of this picture: Gill-1900; 3. George Walker-1899; 4. John Hardy-1900; 5. Wm Ervin (William Irvine) pre-1899; 6. William (Bill) Carroll-1903; 7. Irvine Weir-1900; 8. Warren Hastings (no date given)." NOTE: According to the The Secret Sect by Doug & Helen Parker, p. 90, Sam Boyd accompanied William Irvine on his first mission trip to Scotland in 1899. Douglas & Hastings didn't enter the work.
