[ ) K f FAMILY CIRCLE
Gentile, are the parents of the happy little family pictured here. Faithful they have been in their work; God has honored
their daughter Wanda, now in her fourth year in Bible College, and King’s Daugh ters president. A married daughter, Ro berta McCoy, with her family, makes her home in Hermosa Beach. Harlow W. Parsons ’ 15, 15 E. Mont gomery St., Johnstown, N.Y., 21% years in his present pastorate, a home blessed with four children who have filled their lives with faithful service in various ca pacities. One son, Douglas, age 21, in his senior year at Wheaton, went suddenly to be with the Lord from the Wheaton football campus in 1940. One daughter, Elizabeth, a registered nurse, married a medical doctor; together they are serving the Lord at HCJB, Quito, Ecuador. A family bringing honorable service to the Lord for many years. Harlow W. Par sons is a name associated with the early days of the Bible Institute as Dr. Torrey frequently mentioned him, and his associa tion in evangelistic campaigns before he even enrolled as a student. Following graduation he accompanied Dr. Torrey on his last tour through England, Scotland and Ireland. Rexford and Grace Weller-Smith (’26) write an uplifting letter of the work in Palm City, Calif. There are many prob lems, and needs for the work, and for the family. Their son, Rex, Jr., is still in need of prayer. Some of God’s children are going through deep waters. Harold ’53, and Ray Tuggy, temporarily at Aptdo. 2240, San Jose, Costa Rica, pre sent prayer petitions for the speedy finish of language study, especially for Ray who, through illness, was forced to lose school attendance for several weeks, and for red-tape cutting to be reduced that they may soon be on the field at work for the Lord. Ray is improved from an attack of hepatitis. Funds are needed for travel expense, and for freight and duty charges. All things are possible with God. David and Irene Sanders ’45, mission aries to the Jew first, and also to the
“Obey my voice, and 1 will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you that it may be well unto you” (Jer. 7:23). The Saints Are Marching Home Mrs. A. Woodsworth, mother of Evelyn Woodsworth ’31, has been called into the presence of her Lord. Known and beloved as a great prayer warrior she has truly entered into rest, for prayer is work, a work that is often uninterrupted through hours of pain and suffering. Evelyn is held in prayerful remembrance for her work during the time of residence in Los Angeles was on the editorial staff of the K in g ’ s B usiness . For many years she has been assistant editor of Inland Africa, or gan of the Africa Inland Mission. The Reverend John Walfred Rodman ’20, for many years a missionary in Ven ezuela went to be with the Lord July 6, 1953 folowing a lingering illness. Mrs. Rodman was known to us as Mary Nolt, a graduate of 1940. Her home is in Tur lock, Calif. Mrs. Perly Dolt-Bennett, wife of Fred Bennett, mother of Fred’k. E. Bennett, and Wilfred Bennett, went unexpectedly into her heavenly home following a very short illness. This entire family was brought to the Lord in meetings held by John E. Brown. Immediately they dis posed of their grocery store in Porterville. The entire family attended the Bible In stitute, fitting themselves for Christian service; they have won countless souls for the Lord. To these bereaved families B io la faculty and staff extend sincere sympathy. There is no more precious or comforting gift for the loved ones who are left behind, for a time, than the sure testimony that they have departed “to be with Christ .which is far better.” ★ ★ ★ Eber ’45 and Anne Hazelton, Overseas Missionary Fellowship, 2 Cluny Rd., Singa pore 11, are living “in one of the most colorful spots in the world. . .a melting pot of the Occidental and the Oriental. . . the gateway to the East. A little over one million people live on this island which is located half-way between India and China which means that it occupies an important place on the trade-routes of the world. Eighty miles above the equator the climate is extremely hot and humid.” These peo ple need the Word of God and here our consecrated missionaries seek to win lost souls for Christ. In the homeland remains
them with much fruit. David has a Sun day radio broadcast at 2:00 over KFOX (1280 KC), and a world-wide message in Yiddish over HCJB, Quito, now in creased to 100,000 watts. Wedding vows were exchanged June 16, between Thelma Deckard ’49, and Frank A. Russell at 1157 Laird Ave., Salt Lake City. Thelma was on the ed itorial staff of the K in g ’ s B usiness while making preparations to be “ a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” May they together be useful in their service for the King. Charles and Grace Pike-Roberts ’21, ’39, Box 1663, Kowloon, Hong Kong, announce the gift by a businessman of a piece of ground on a 10-mile strip of sea coast where some 20,000 workers, mainly young people, refugees from China, are employed. The location is ideal for a church and youth center; a survey has been made and it seems to be an indication from the Lord for the establishment of this new and important phase of the work to be pushed to completion. There are many angles to be considered, and prayer is asked that wisdom and help from the Lord he given. W ill you remember to pray?
Don Hillis ’32 joins World Gospel Crusades. Having served since 1937 in the land of India, Don has now returned to take up a far-reaching missionary min istry here in the U.S.A. His Light of Life Corres pondence Course is now in 19 countries of the world and in 14 languages. This correspondence school program dovetails effectively with the Gospel dis tribution ministry of World Gospel Crusades. This
organization has been blessed of God in the distribution of almost 6 mil lion Gospels in 29 countries of the world during the past five years. Mr. Hillis is assured that through this new affiliation, he will be able to ac complish much in the land of India for Christ, whereas the possibility of a personal return to the field is most improbable. Prayer in behalf of this world-wide outreach is earnestly besought on the part of Mr. Hillisf fellow alumni and the readers of the K i n g ’ s B u s i n e s s .
