Euodia Club Rally
Daddy Horton, that she had peace in her heart. She also told the girls of her call to the foreign field and how the Lord used a missionary who was at home on furlough to pray that Martha Pohnert might give her life .to China and the work there. Just before the missionary returned, Miss Pohnert volunteered to work for China and the Lord supplied her needs for outfit and passage. Foot binding is still practiced in the interior where Miss Pohnert worked, and the schools for girls are very scarce; however, some of the girls have had the privilege of going to school in China, and just one girl, who found the Lord as her Saviour, in Miss Poh- nert’s school, has won hundreds of women to the Lord Jesus Christ. Miss Pohnert wonders how God could take a worldly, pleasure loving girl such as she was and put her in the heart of China to do such work for Him. We know that some hearts were touched for the foreign field, and who knows but some day some of these dear Euodia girls will be in China helping Miss Pohnert win Chinese girls for the Lord. They are how living day by day trying to show forth the “ Fragrance of the Lord Jesus,” 2 Cor. 2:14, “Now thanks be unto that God who always leads us forth to triumph in the anoint ed ©ne, and diffuses by us the fragrance of thé knowledge of Him in every place.” (Lit. trans.) We are sure that living by this motto, not only will they be workers for the future, but even now they are doing service for Him. Pray for our High School girls. They are the mothers of tomorrow. Are you helping them to be better Christian women?
Saturday afternoon, January 28th, over 200 High School and Intermediate Grammar School girls met at the Bible Institute for a Rally. These girls were representatives from 27 Bible classes, called “ Euodia Glubs,” held weekly in the respective schools of Los Angeles and vicinity. There are a number of Bible women giving their entire time to this work, and other workers who are giv ing a part of their time. This was the first “ get together meeting” this year. The girls enjoyed an indoor field meet, consisting of discus throw, endur ance races, relay races, etc. Enthu siasm and school spirit ran high when the paper plates refused to be thrown in the discus throw and the paper bags were blown up for the relay races. After refreshments were served the winning schools were presented with loving cups, in the form of tin cups with “ Euodia” printed on them. Another interesting feature of the afternoon was the presentation of the first “ Euodia” pennant ever made, to Miss Mabel Merrill, director of the “ Euodia” work, by the Euodia Club of Granada Grammar School. ' However, the most important part of the rally was saved until the last, when the girls had the privilege of hearing Miss Martha Pohnert, an Insti tute graduate, recently returned from China. Miss Pohnert told the girls of her life as a young girl, given over to the plea sures of this world, and how it failed jto satisfy; how the Lord brought into her life different people and used them; but it was not until she really found the Lord Jesus- Christ as her personal Saviour in a meeting held by our dear
