TWO SIGNIFICANT LETTERS FROM INDIA I do not know how to thank you for your great kindness in sending me The King's Business which has been a tremendous help tio me personally and in my witness for the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ among Hindus . It is a companion on my musical evangelistic tours next to my Bible, and I enjoy its contents to my great satisfaction. I am invited to a big Cathedral Church which is 850 miles "away from here, for my ministry for three months, and I am taking all the copies that you have sent me so far, as they really serve the purpose. I therefore humbly beseech you to kindly con tinue sending the magazine to me as long as you can. I translate some of your articles and con tribute them to different periodicals, and how the readers enjoy them! You have your part in the ministry I am doing, and the Lord 'will surely re ward you for all that you are doing for us In A. David Nizamabad, via Hyderabad, Deccan, S. India We want to thank you for The King's Business that we have received for several months now. With no fellowship with English-speaking Chris tians and no English services, such magazines are so welcome as food to our souls, and as stir ring us up to greater faithfulness and effort. Without such, the tendency in these places where Satan has his seat, is always downwards. Then again we pass them on to others: some to other missionaries, some to Indian pastors and Christians, and some are eagerly looked forward to by those who have not yet had the courage to make the break with the eld heathen religion. We have used several of your object lessons in our Sunday Schools; the children are thrilled. You would be interested to see our lovely brown faced Indian children, some of them just beaming out from their faces their love to Jesus. Recently one boy of about twelve from a heathen home in Jutpan has told his family that he believes, and wants to be baptized, and praise the Lord, both his mother, a widow, arid older brother, his guardian, have said that they will not hinder him. A younger sister also gives every evidence of a work of grace in her heart. The older brother is very near the Kingdom, but the enemy of souls keeps putting hindrances in the way. We covet a place in your prayers. Again please accept our thanks and apprecia tion. Yours in His wonderful service, Alex and Edith Andrews, Jutogu, Siuela Hills» E. Punjab, India T H E K I N S ' S B U S I N E S S dians! We owe you so muchI Thanking you in anticipation, Yours very gratefully,
Into the Presence of the King There are more deaths than usual to report this month. The Lord has taken to Himself some members of our Circle who were outstanding workers in His vineyard. We grieve for the separation from them, but we know that for them it is “far better,” and we sorrow not as those who have no hope. Our hearts go out in deepest sympathy to the bereaved loved ones. September 26th— Charlotte Rasmussen Dawkins, dean of women at Biola from 1937 to 1939. Greatly interested in young people, she had endeared herself to faculty and students alike. October 13th— Hannah McCreery, be loved wife of Dr. Elbert L. McCreery, ■ for six ,years dean of the Bible Institute. The McCreerys spent ten years in mis sionary service in Africa, and also served Culter Academy, Westmont Col lege, and Occidental Presbyterian Church. Mrs. McCreery was a faithful helpmeet in every phase of the Lord’s service. October 16th— Mattie Lou Davis, 1948 graduate of Biola, with B.C.E. degree. A graduate of John Brown and Wheaton Colleges, she was a candidate for mis sionary service under Wycliffe Transla tors, Inc. She had done missionary work in the mountains of Virginia and at Meriden, Miss., before coming to Biola. Dr. Louis T. Tfblbot conducted her fu neral service. October 26th— Elizabeth Tilley Keller, widow of Dr. Frank Arthur Keller of the China Inland Mission and the Hunan Bible Institute. The Kellers rendered unique service in China over a long period of years. In the early days they encountered great opposition and prog ress was really made on their knees. They had many narrow escapes from martyrdom. Once they leaped through a trapdoor, scaled a wall in their back yard, and hid behind chicken coops. The strain of the work told upon their strength and in 1940 they retired from active missionary service and made their home in Los Angeles. The Bible Institute of Los Angeles was greatly honored and blessed by the outstanding service ren dered by Dr. and Mrs. Keller. October 28th— Bertel Pagard ’27. As reported in our last issue, the Pagards were planning to return to Africa where for years they had labored under the Scandinavian Alliance. On their cross country deputation trip, at North Platte, Nebraska, Bertel was stricken with a heart attack. The three children who had remained in Los Angeles to finish their' education' were summoned and reached their father’s bedside before he went to be with the Lord. Bertel had served as station superintendent for fif teen years. The pressure of the work was so great that he did not take his furloughs. He was ill when he arrived at Los Angeles for a rest but he im proved so much that it was thought he could resume his work. Funeral services were held at Jamestown, N. Y., where Mrs. Pagard and the family may be reached at 231 Clyde Avenue.
“Unto us a child is bom, 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). ☆ ' ☆ ☆ Andrew J. Johnson ’l l , has dedicated his beautiful and commodious new print ing establishment located at 2442 Colo rado Blvd., Los Angeles to the printing of Christian literature; books,magazines, church bulletins and tracts are his spe cialty. Needless to say his presses will turn out no advertising of liquor or to bacco in any form. Our “Andy” owns this new plant, and as has been his cus tom throughout the years much of his profit is turned to the printing and dis tribution of the Scriptures to the foreign field. Florence Hardy ’27, Ching Kong Ed., Tung Hoh Pa, Kukong, S. China, is re joicing in the definite decision of seven adults to whom she had been telling the story of redemption for a year, to discard their idols and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their living Saviour. One of these was a boatman who had taken her in a sampan to visit two other fam ilies who lived in a river boat. As the seven turned from darkness to light, she saw a tear in his eye; inviting him also to come into the fold he accepted the invitation. Florence adds: “We wept as he found his way to God. Pray for his mother that she may give up her idols. The jail work is encouraging — one young woman killed her husband in the accidental discharge of a gun which she was handling. She has asked for a Bible.” God has kept Florence and her little boat afloat despite terrific storms. Continue to pray that a new one may be provided.
