In a letter from Charlie Nelson, now traveling salesman, in which he en- closed $20 for the Big Brother Work and $5 for the Fishermen's Club, he states that he has never let a day pass for the last two years in which he did not speak personally to some one of the Lord. This is the kind of testimony we like to hear and the kind of Fishermen we hope to see going out from the Club. OUR INDIAN STUDENT. Mr. Edward Richards, our student from the PiuteB, goes to Mt. Hermon for the summer. He will have many opportunities and privileges for service in the north and will return in the fall for the school work. THE OIL FIELD WORKERS. Messrs.

They have driven over mountain roads, have met many difficulties and discour- agements, but have had the hardihood of good soldiers and "counted it all joy. ' They have preached and sung the gospel of grace to hundreds of hardened men and have had the pleas- ure of seeing a number of hardened men converted. They have strength ened the hands of some of the pastors in the small fields also. They will visit the fields south of the city and later wil start on another trip through the north. We bespeak earnest prayer in theiT behafl. The following is a sample of the let- ters which reach us from different sec- tions of the field: Dear Sirs—We take this opportunity to thank the Institute for the visit ot Sloan and Lowe to the Santa Maria oil fields and the meetings held at the Newlove school house.

Praying that the Lord will bless you abundantly in this work, We are, Yours for the Master..
