FERENCE” on it. Some people do not have enough interest in the Bible to open and read God’s Word. The third heart is marked “FEAR.” A small boy was once afraid to look into the Bible because he had read about the plagues mentioned in the Book of Revelation, and he did not want to hear about them again. "PREJUD ICE" is written on the fourth heart. That is a rather large word for boys and girls, but it refers to people who have formed their own set opinion and do not let the Bible speak to them. The fifth is the heart of “DOUBT." There are many who do not receive God’s message because of doubt, of questioning its truth. The Bible is a bound Book to them. W e have cut all the strings but one, but that one is suffi cient to keep the Bible bound. It is marked "UNBELIEF.” This heart represents the people who refuse to believe God’s Word. God can take away the heart of unbelief and give a heart of faith instead. The Bible is now free. W e will open it and hear God’s message. "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God” (1 Pet. 3:18). W e should not let anything keep us from hearing God’s message and accepting Christ as Saviour. bers of the Orinoco River Mission, are on furlough at 1536 N.

H. and Mrs. McKenrick (Betty Pier son, ’14), members of the Africa Inland Mission, write from Minneola, Fla., that at present their health will not permit their return to Africa. They are praising the Lord for His provision of a comfortable new cottage at “Media” in Minneola for their time of resting and waiting upon Him. Berlyn H. and Mrs. Stokely (Edith Men- zer, ’14), founders and directors of the Navajo Indian Evangelization Movement, with present headquarters at Oraibi, Ariz., are rejoicing that the Mission has been granted government permission to use five acres of land for a permanent Mission cen ter at Chahi-bitoh.

Objects: A large pulpit Bible, six pieces of string, and six black paper hearts. (Tie the strings around the Bible, and pin one of the black hearts on each.) Lesson: Let us open the Bible and see what God wants to say to us. Oh, it is bound, and cannot be opened. The Bible is a bound Book to many people. The first string has a black heart on which the word “LAZINESS” is written. There are some who do not hear God’s message because they are too lazy to open their Bible and let it speak to them. We will cut this string, and not let laziness any longer keep us from hearing God’s message. The next heart has the word “INDIF- News from Former Students F r e d a n d m r s . W a l t e r (Lyda M. Carter, ’25), Krypton, Ky„ in addition to carrying on in the work of the church at Krypton where Mr. W al ter is pastor under the Brethren Home Mis sion work, are holding Bible classes in eight public schools in the outdistricts and also are conducting meetings once a week in homes on the creeks. They will value prayer for “Vacation Bible Schools” to be held in late January and in February. Two of these schools have been planned for communities where there is no Sunday-school. Ruth D. Farquharson, '28, serving un der the Presbyterian Board of National Missions, writes from Haines House, an or phanage at Haines, Alaska, “It is almost nine years since I began work here. It is strange how the hard spots are so easily forgotten and the easier, brighter ones are well remembered. However, there is one slightly difficult time none will soon forget. Last winter forty children and four staff members had mumps at one time. W e are just waiting to see what comes our way this winter.” Nicholas A. Thomas, '25, 6538 N. Mozart St., Chicago, 111., writes: “Please pray for us, and the work of the Lord in our midst. There are about 85,000 Greeks here in Chi cago for whom we are responsible.” Zoa L. Shaub, ’28, who is affiliated with the California Friends, sends greetings to the Alumni Association from Capilla Evan- gelica, Marcola, Honduras, C.
