King's Business - 1953-11

Her mother writes: “ She never wavered from her faith in Christ, nor the teaching she received at B iola .” Faculty and alum­ ni of B iola extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family. For her to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. The mother is Gertie Buchanan, 3943 Spruce St., Kansas City, Mo. L o r r a in e Beggerly-Eldredge ’46, was translated to be with the Lord in June, from a respirator where she was being treated for poliomyelitis. May Cole ’20, ever faithful Bible woman assigned to hospital visitation for some twenty years, visited her every day. Stricken in March she made her glorious departure in June.

night the cries were weaker, and finally silenced in the stillness of death that had come to this mere child. What a tragedy . . . young lives going out in suffering and darkness! O, who will go and take to them the Light of the World, Jesus Christ? With the Lord Just a few short hours following what was' thought to be but a slight indisposi­ tion, Nancy Myers-Nauman ’42, was ush­ ered into the presence of the Lord whom she loved, September 25. Beloved wife of Dr. Paul Dean Nauman ’41, dean of students of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, mother of three; Rae Deane 9, Paul Allen 5, Jeannine 3, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray A. Myers, she leaves not only these dear ones but a sister, Mrs. Frances M. Simonsen, two brothers, Reese and Hugh Myers, and a host of friends. Mr. Ray A. Myers is chairman of the Board of the Bible In­ stitute. Attended by about fifteen h u n d red friends, the memorial services were con­ ducted in the Church of the Open Door auditorium. Dr. Louis T. Talbot, chan­ cellor of the Bible Institute preached a wonderful m essa ge on the Christian’s hope; Dr. S. H. Sutherland, president of the Bible Institute paid a moving tribute to the radiant Christian life of Mrs. Nau­ man; Rev. L aw re n ce Weinert of the Baptist Community Church of La Canada

“ Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy, ñam é’ (Psa. 18:49). Faith Children’s Home, Inc., the re­ markable home for children founded by Jack and Helen Brown (’41) Beattyville, Ky., are facing problems for their group of some thirty or more children of school- age. They write: “We need a strong con­ secrated helper for the heavy work. The Lord graciously brought in tomatoes, po­ tatoes, cabbage and beans from the gar­ den. Jack went to S. Carolina and got 38 bushels of peaches. By working at home, and at government canneries, we were able to can 780 qts. of peaches and beans (from the garden) in two days. A record of some sort, we think, and praise the Lord for it all.” From Moody M o n th ly we le a rn— “ Evangelist Eddie Wagner (B iola ’44) concluded a city-wide revival in Greens- burg, Pa., in early- July, which is said to have been the first such effort in 41 years. Entire families professed Christ, as well as many others who had sunk deep in sin.” Art Houk, ’52, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Clarkston, Wash., has just had a series of revival meetings with Evangelist Wagner at the helm, ably as­ sisted by James Stoutenborough as song leader, who is also a licensed pilot. Mrs. Viola LiJtes (82) brought more new peo­ ple to the meetings than any of the other contestants and enjoyed her first airplane ride with Mr. Stoutenborough as pilot. Art reported that the team of Wagner and Stoutenborough was successful and the church experienced a real revival. The opening paragraph of a late let­ ter from the Johnie Bergen (’45) family (note the new address), Bauchi Lepro­ sarium, S. I. M ., Bauchi, Nigeria, W . A f­ rica, says: “ Chop off his arm at the el­ bow or his mother will not regain her eyesight!” This was the demoniacal cry of the fiendish old witch doctor concern­ ing a 9-year-old healthy boy! A few days later the stumped arm became swollen and gangrenous to such an extent that his father brought him to the Leprosar­ ium, where Dr. Edwards immediately op­ erated and administered drugs to fight off infection. A sad sight to look into the eyes of this suffering boy wild with fear and distrust. Moved into a hut near thé hospital, his cries of agony were heard far into the night. The next day Dr. Edwards gave such relief as he could, and again all night the cries and wails sounded through the camp. The third

Bessie Chung-Sue ('48) & son Ricky home their first son, Milton Roderick Sue on Admission Day, September 9. Arthur Neil and Anna Myrick-Ramey (’48), pastoring the Cayucos Community Church since August ’52, announce the arrival of John Calvin (6 lbs., 15% oz.) on August 25. Catherine Elizabeth (3 yrs.) and Kenneth Paul (4% ) make up this happy family in the service of the Lord. Art and Shirley Chambers-Houk, 1104 Diagonal St., Clarkston, Wash., send hap­ py greetings advising us of the arrival of David Lee, Sept. 9. Enclosed was a news­ paper clipping from Clarkston, announc­ ing that Art’s Baptist Church has six members as present students at the Bible Institute. Three others are in Christian colleges in training for the Lord’s service. A good record for any church. Briefettes Anna G. Stauffer T9, for many years efficient secretary at the China Inland Mission headquarters at 159% S. Ave. 53 has moved to Richlandtown, Pa., Box 123. Stuart and Phyllis Sendall-King, are now in England on matters of importance to their mission, and hope this emergency call will terminate with a furlough in the States, as their rest from their labors is already overdue. New address is 16 West Orchard Crescent, Llandaff, Cardiff, Great Britain. Danny (4% ), son of Frank and Frances Stradley, Box 784, Seward, Alaska, at the closing meal of a busy Sunday, offered thanks to God for the food, and then said: “ Dear Lord, come into my heart and fix it from sin. Amen.”

Nancy Myers-Nauman ('42) led in prayer, Frank E. Lindgren read comforting Scriptures, and Dr. J. Vernon McGee, pastor of the Church of the Open Door conducted the private graveside serv­ ice at Forest Lawn. Sincere sympathies to those who have “ loved and lost awhile,” and who mourn not as those who have no hope, but await with joy the glad reunion when we shall all be forever with the Lord. Wilma Carrender ’45, injured in an auto accident May 25, while traveling to her school, lived but three short hours. Fully aware of events transpiring about her and without suffering she unexpected­ ly passed into the presence of the Lord.
