Her present address is Aru, Congo Beige, via Egypt. —o^—" MR. AND MRS! ORVAL J. K IRK hoped to return during this year to the Congo, West. Africa, to a new field, but apparently that was not God’s plan for their lives. The door to that section was not open, but another field seems to be almost ready for their going. They ask prayer that God may hasten the day of their return. M A R G A R E T 0E. DUSENBERRY, ’25, has been for a year and a half at tending the University of California, Southern Branch, in Lbs Angeles.

FREDER ICK BENSON ; ’22, at Metla Katla, Alaska, May 26, 1926. The cause of death was influenza.

G. ’26 and ’26, expected to go imme diately to China a year ago but were re jected on account of Mrs. Ellis’ health. This action appears now as providential, since in all probability the troubled con dition in China would .have made their return to the United States imperative at once. They have been led into a very needy field at Port Huron, Michigan. They find, that the course in Christian Education which they pursued at B.

U s e was made of the Bible Institute tent and, though it is large, it was comfortably filled n i g h t after night. Figures are eloquent but never tell the full story of what God has wrought. There were, dur ing the three weeks, an even one hundred who accepted Christ as their personal Saviour. Twenty yielded their lives for full time Christian service. Over one hundred re-consecrated them selves to God. The whole com munity was stirred- The music of the campaign was directed by MR. AND MRS. LEO POL- MAN, ’22, ’20. These able lead ers of song have endeared them selves and been greatly used wherever they have gone.
