It is with regret that we announce that Miss Olive B. Taylor, faithful regis trar at Biola for many years, has retired and moved from the school to live with her old friend, Nadine Warner-Strong, at 865 Green Lane, in La Canada. While we realize that Miss Taylor deserves to take life a bit easier after her long term of efficient service for the Lord, her kindly presence will be greatly missed at Biola. She has a host of friends who will be keeping in touch with her. Miss Taylor was a real friend to young people and her loving counsel and earnest prayers will ever have a place in the memory of hundreds of students, some of whom are now labor ing at the “ends of the earth.” God bless you, Miss Taylor, and enrich your life as you have brought blessing to others. A quotation from The Navigators Log will interest our readers: “ As Daws Trotman returns this month from the Orient, four grueling months of Navi gator history in the making are behind him. Each day has seemed precision- timed by the Lord. From Cyprus, South Africa, Lebanon and India, he wrote, The trip was worth it for this stop alone.’ 33,000 in Formosa and Japan en rolled for the Bible studv course,” Richard and Lucille Falconer-Webster ’40; 5947 Shafter Avenue, Oakland 18’ Calif., have been called by the CIM to take up a work among the 500 Chinese students at the U.C. at Berkeley. Head quarters for evangelism and teaching will be maintained at Horton Hall where a suite of offices has been set aside for this important assignment. The Lord, in His own way, has provided an attractive home at the above address. Son Donny will begin his education this year. Jack Browrl ’41, founder and director of the Faith Childrens’ Home, Beatty- ville, Ky., has been seriously ill necessi tating an appendectomy and gall bladder surgery. He is very weak; prayer is asked for their many needs, physical and temporal, with praise for a 375 ft. well which pumps 1000 gallons of water a day; for the work of Anna Lee Mason in laying the flooring of the new build ing, and doing a good job of it; for Al and Rosie Portukalian who have come to help them: Al will teach woodcrafts, handcrafts, athletics, teach the boys and help with the carpentry, while Rosie will teach first grade and piano; for three gardens, and a crop of corn and soy beans on rented land. Jack will try to make a deputation trip throughout Oregon, Washington and Los Angeles areas from Aug. 10-Nov. 23. P.S. “ A severe wind just took the roof off our new building . . . Rom. 8:28.

The communication lines are cut, and she m o w plans to remain right here at the Willard Hotel until our Lord returns, or He takes her home. Her long visit was filled with opportunities to give Bible readings to many groups of elderly women. The return trip was made via the Mauretania, passing the new super liner The United States as she was leav ing New York Harbor on her maiden trans-Atlantic trip.

M issionary Letter of the Month Conservative Baptist Foreign Mission Society, 852 Wellington Ave., Chicago 14, III. Dear Friends at Home: Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord. All around are the evidences of sin, dark ness, filth and poverty, but I am so happy that I am here where He has called me. “ Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name” (2 Sam. 22:50). I know you have been asking: “ What has happened to Alma? Why haven’t we heard from her?” I know that you have been praying for me and I want to thank you for this. Besides being in charge of the girls’ hostel we operated a small dispensary three mornings a week. I did not want to open this work because I am not a nurse, but the people did not understand. They came many miles just to receive medicine. The Lord was good and many people were helped, but the greatest joy of all was telling them about the Lord Jesus. From De cember until the middle,of April we had over 1100 people coming for medicines, and hearing about our wonderful Sa viour. In the afternoons , Gaya, my Bible woman, held a literacy class for the women. Eleven women attended, but only two were Christians. One woman accepted the Lord, and in turn led her two children to Him. After the arrival of my new Jeep we were able to have meetings in the villages of our district at night. In some of these we were given a warm welcome, but in others the reception was cold, with heckling, and even stones being thrown. Morshi is a village of many students. They come to the bungalow to practice their English on me, but give up in disgust, telling me they do not understand my language. They read everything they get their hands on, and want me to start a library, but I have so few books I Can’t begin to supply them with reading material. They read my tracts and booklets, and then ply me with questions about our Lord and our faith. May the Lord richly bless each one of you. Alma C. Kludt T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S
