FRANCES ETTA BECKMAN to CHRISTIAN A. RAMSEIER, July 3rd, Long Beach, California. Mr. Ramseier was a registered student in 1917, but was unable to complete the Course. Mr. and Mrs. Ramseier will be at home after Au gust 1st, residing at 537 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach, California. W. R. HUNRICHS, ’22, Jurnena, Matto Grosso, Brazil, in a letter to Mr. Allan Dunham, with whom he was closely asso ciated in work at the Biola Hall while in school, says that he finds the same type of people to deal with in Brazil as he did at Biola Hall. “In all the way the Lord has given us wonderful opportunity to deal with souls and to give out the print ed Word. The promise that His Word never returns void is a great comfort. It means that our work is not void if we give it out to others. Just now there is a Catholic sister on board and these peo ple, as a rule, do not like to have anything to do with a ‘Protestant’ if a priest is around, but still I have been able to give out the Gospel to them and to speak per sonally to some. My, the Lord does open the way in spite of the devil.” —O— JOHN PUZ, who was saved in the Biola Hall, and who has since returned to his native country, Italy, writes an inter esting letter of his services for the Lord. “I am busy using the ‘Do You Know’ tracts. I will send to you a copy in a few days which I have translated into Italian, by the help of the Lord and an Italian brother who believes the Gospel. Also in German. * * * * I am having a blessed time preaching the Gospel here and es pecially in the village where there is no R. priest or any one else to oppose. There are three R. Churches without priests in this community for over six weeks now. I am alone with the Lord here to tell the old story of the Cross. My right hand man, Vinka Zimerman, has gone today to serve the king of Italy. At present I have no one who is so fearless to tell the Truth as Vinko was telling for the last few months. These people have been greatly stirred up, but I would like to see them to get bold and earnest about it.” —o— MR. AND MRS. LEONARD L. GAY LORD., Tamaro, Illinois. “We have a fine village church this summer. It is a federated work. God is blessing us, PLEASE PRAY that a revival may sweep through this people. We have had no. conversions as yet. Leonard expects to finish seminary (Xenia), next May. Pray that we may be a blessing.” —o— MRS. LEO POLMAN (nee Leila Neher ’20), is working at her home church, the Second Brethren Church of Los Angeles. She is Church Pianist, Su perintendent of Beginners’ Department in the Sunday school, and Superintendent of the Junior Christian Endeavor.
Summer School Great Success T H E second annual Summer School and Bible Conference of the Bible Institute was conducted June 19th to July 8th in clusive. Careful preparation had been made during the months before through advertising and set-up of program. Re sults were most gratifying. The enroll ment reached the high figure of 230, which was double that of last year. Those attending represented all the far west states and the Foreign Mission field. The varied courses offered brought the school atmosphere and activity. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, Dr. John Mc Neill and Dr. Arthur I. Brown brought the Bible messages morning and evening, each speaker being on the program for a week. Dr. J. M. Maclnnis, Dr. Ralph Atkinson and Dr. Charles E. Hurlburt were the speakers the first hour, with practical addresses bearing upon the Christian life. The courses in musiff included Hymnol- ogy, Sight Singing and Counterpoint, as taught by Prof. J. B. Trowbridge; Har mony and Conducting, under the direc tion of Prof. Herbert G. Tovey; and In strumentation, conducted by Prof. Ray mond Conner. Three units of the Standard Teaching Training Course were offered; “Princi ples of Teaching” and “Training the De votional Life,” with Miss_ Florence Chaffee, teacher; and “Teaching Values of the Old Testament,” taught by Rev. Albert E. Kelly. The consensus of opinion is that the Bible Institute has never rendered more effective service to the Church and its workers than it accomplished through this year’s Summer School. Plans are already being laid for next summer. —o— Quintet Tour The Los Angeles Quintet, composed of Bible Institute Alumni, H A R O L D PUGH, WARD ALTIG of the Class of ’27, HARRY NEUFELD, P. G., ’27, HARLAN FISCHER and P E R C Y CRAWFORD of ’26, are completing their trans-continental Evangelistic tour after a most successful summer’s work. They have conducted meetings from Los An geles to Boston with practically every day crowded with services. Attendance was encouraging all along the way. Many conversions are recorded. There have been many reconsecrations, especially among the young people. The Extension Department has been kept busy sending literature to prospective students dis covered by these enthusiastic boosters of the Bible Institute. These young men went out backed by the prayers of many, and God has richly blessed their ministry, Dr. G. Campbell Morgan will enter upon his duties as a regular member of the Faculty with the opening of the first semester, September 12th. He will be avail able for week-end Bible Conferences dur ing the school year, in places within one night’s train, ride to Los Angeles. The schedule is being now made up by the Ex tension Department, and inquiry about the remaining open dates should be made early this fall. Dr. Morgan needs no in troduction, and churches securing his ser vices are fortunate. — o — You Can Get Dr. Morgan
Mr. Ross’s Movements Rev. BRITTON ROSS,’ Bible Institute Evangelist, has had a busy summer. From June 19th to July 10th he conducted a great tabernacle campaign in Knoxville, Tenn., under the direction of the Lonsdale Bap tist Church. The local press gave large notice to the meetings. The addresses were broadcasted and the evangelist’s ministry was given a large field. The meetings resulted in great spiritual har vest. The latter part of July, and August, were taken up with a Bible Conference near Knoxville and evangelistic meet ings in Texas. A union tent meeting with five churches co-operating, opens in Van Nuys, California, September 4th. Mr. Leo Polman, ’22, P, G.
