W ith the Lord The sympathy o f the Institute family goes out-to Harold ( ’29) and Mrs. Coen (Ella Penner, ’29) as this word comes -from them: “ Eleanore Mae was born to us on April 28, 1934 (Vom Hospital).

But they are able to bear testimony to the Lord’s faithfulness: “God has been near us and has blessed us in many different ways. Praise His name for His wonderful love and faith fulness that does not cease to be manifested. Although we cannot report any special manifestation of His power in pur work, we do know that He is faithful that has called us, and we are praying and waiting for an awakening among the Mongols among whom we are working. Our work here in Kalgan is to a large extent to seek to reach those who come here to trade or who come through this city on their jour neys to other places. W e have been en couraged by the increased willingness on the part o f the people to receive the Word in print. W e hope that it is a sign that they are beginning to seek something that will satisfy their hungry hearts. God has bless ed our children, Grace and Donald, as well as us, with good health, for which we wish to praise Him.” Jemima Thompson, ’28, expects to sail for India from San Pedro, Calif., July 16, on the N.

That same night, we took a train to start our journey to the interior. The train was very good, except that we had no drinking water for a night and a day. The words of Jesus, ‘Whosoever drinketh o f the water that I shall give him shall never thirst,’ mean more to us after that experience. Substi tutes did not satisfy.” The next day, as the train stopped at a station, Kathryn Dick, ’29, called to them. She was waiting for a train to return to her own station. Mrs. Earle L.
