Marion Adams, ’33, has been restationed, and her address is now Apartado 578, Car- upano, Venezuela, S. A. She writes: “Re member not only us but also our Venezue lan Christians*JiVe long for them to grow in the Lord and for their spiritual lives to be deepened. Some of them are grow ing by leaps and bounds, and others seem not to make much progress.” One of the faithful alumni correspondents is Eunice R. Hart, ’26, who is employed at the State School for the Deaf at Salem, Ore. She keeps in touch with different graduates and reports about them. Through her, word comes of the new church building (Baptist) at Court, Jura Bernois, Switzer land, where Mrs. Henri Weber (Jeanne Saucy, ’25) is the pastor’s wife. Kathryn Dick, ’29, Sudan Interior Mis sion, Oro, via Ilorin, Nigeria, British W . Africa, writes: “ Many Biola-trained work ers have come to us recently. When I first came out under this Mission, there were only two former Biola students in our work, and now there are twenty, I believe. W e are very glad to have them, and we trust that they shall be much used of the Lord. May He richly bless the school, and may it send out many more into these ripened harvest fields.” Lake Ellyn, Glen Ellyn, 111., was the 'setting for a Biola picnic on April 18, when Mrs. Hugh B. Evans, Jr., whose home is now in Wheaton, 111., and a group of members of the Institute family who are now attending Wheaton College, Wheaton, 111., gathered for a time of fellowship.

The Bible Institute FAMILY CIRCLE
A Letter to Qraduates
Dear Fellow Alumni: At commencement time thousands of Christian young people in Amer ica are facing the problem of where to receive training that"is truly Chris tian. Perhaps the Lord is calling some of us as graduates of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles to influence young men and young women to study the Word of God at Biola. But let us remember that it costs the Institute to train its young people. Surely this school that is true to its dedication— “ unto Him that washed us from our sins in His own blood” — will continue to stir our love and loyalty, a loyalty that is different in its very nature from that which is given to non-Christian institutions of learning. Famous secular colleges and universities continually receive buildings, endowments, and scholarships from grateful alumni. Though the financial circumstances of Biola graduates are far different from those of the nation s financial leaders who give to these other schools, we of the Biola Alumni Association have in the fellowship of the Lord Jesus Christ an infinitely stronger motive for making as great a sacrifice as is within our power. Let us thank God that our loyalty to our Alma Mater can be linked with our loyalty to our Saviour! And, for the sake of those who' would follow us in this study and fellowship, let us act upon that sense of loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ. Yours in His service, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,

Roberts, Treasurer o f the Hunan Bible Institute, Changsha, Hunan, China, wrote early ! in April that he planned to go to Hongkong for a short visit with his family at Easter time.- Be cause of conditions in central China, Mrs. Roberts (Grace M . Pike, ’21) and the children have sought refuge in Hongkong, where their address has been 214 A, Prince Edward Road, Kowloon, Hongkong.

Mr. Roberts wrote that the scene of war seemed to have shifted away from Changsha, but that there were occasional bombings. Activity of the Biola Evangelistic Bands was continuing among wounded soldiers and in outlying districts with real fruitfulness. Murdock D.

“ Laborers Together with God” K ARL FAULKNER, ’37, Alejia Jeroz- olimska 79 m. 20, Warsaw, Poland, is serving under the American- European Fellowship among Jews in W ar saw, and he finds the language very diffi cult. There is a possibility of his being left alone to manage the summer colony at Radosc, with its many details of looking after the needs of children at the colony. He labors in a very difficult field and needs the prayers of friends in the homeland. He requests prayer for the tract ministry, and for Israel, adding: “ A Jewish Christian stands in ‘No Man’s Land’ . . . . No one wants him, and even among evangelical Christians there is a rising anti-Semitic feeling.”; y. The Missionary Rally of the Church of the Open Door was held from April 17 to 24.
