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;

5. Wm Ervin (William Irvine) pre-1899;
