“ Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6). Quoting from a late letter from J. Keith ’32 and Vivian Altig ’33, serving the Lord in Brazil with their daughters, one cannot but note the joy and zeal o f this family in His service. Keith states: “ There are many doors opened before us . . . and some thousands of people with no witness o f any kind. The Govern ment is friendly and helpful, as are the people, so that Brazil of today presents a unique opportunity among the Latin-American countries. The poorer people have very little to live on. Our girls help . . . taking turns with the flannelgraph story and with the music.” Lydia Kurle ’47, and her compan ion in labor for the Lord in Busia, Tanganyika, have found a unique method of reaching the little herd boys who never have an opportunity to attend school as the cattle must be herded every day. These children bring their cattle to their homes for their noonday rest as the days are hot. Lydia and her co-laborer hurry to the villages and tell these boys and girls about the Lord Jesus. They are thrilled as they hear them singing the choruses, even though they are off tune. These are real heathen chil dren and it is very difficult to get them to understand. Beatrice Oie ’33, 1419 Waterman Ave., San Bernardino, serving as sec retary to the City Attorney over four years, has made a fine recovery from eye operations and is desiring above all things to find an open door of service for the Lord. Paul Bayles ’47, Kent, Ore., was ordained to the Christian ministry on September 19th, at the South Los Angeles Community Church of which David Schmidt ’22, is the pastor. Dr. Charles L.

They have opened closed churches in three communities. Eugene A. Spindler ’49, and Mrs. Spindler (Wheaton graduate) are un der appointment to serve under the Africa Inland Mission. At present they are out in deputation work to secure funds and support that they may go to the field. Lyle Eggleston ’49, Casilla 507,

Temuco, Chile, S.A., in a late bro chure of the Soldiers’ and Gospel Mission, tells of his college experi ence which brought him into the maze of “ another gospel.” It was through reading the testimony of Eddie Rickenbacker in the Reader’s Digest that brought him back to the Lord and eventually into His service. Dick Hillis ’32, 1521 Rock Glen Ave., Glendale 5, Calif., obtained his visa in time to take off by plane with the Formosa group. Dick asks prayer for an awakened church in Formosa, for a great harvest of souls, and for his wife and six chil dren who remain in America. For thé second time since their graduation, members of the class of ’32 had a delightful get-together at the Russell Davis home in Glendale on October 9th, to which members of the class of ’33 were also invited. Dick Hillis’ proposed trip to Formosa was the particular occasion for an evening of wonderful fellowship, con cluded with a devotional message by Dr. John Page, and prayer for fellow- members.
