were only in business I would be eager to get away, but having a part in the work of training young men and women to go out to tell others of Christ and to teach them how to live better, happier lives, I wish to keep on*with it as long as I can.” There is a possibility that Miss Rouse might be going to the Philippines for further service if she must leave Shanghai. Henry D. (’23) and Mrs. Todd (Lou isa Uhlinger, ’23), 2525 54th St., Sac ramento, Calif., workers of the Ameri can Sunday School Union, have been ministering for several years to chil dren and young people in the rural and mountainous regions surrounding Sacramento.

The re-publication of this article has been sponsored by a group of alumni of Stanford University and their friends, who were so much impressed by the facts which it presents that they felt it should no longer remain out of print.

It is the hope of the Alumni group of the Palo Alto Westminster Club that this material will help others to a clear er understanding of the certainty and importance of the resurrection.
Jail Evangelism The United Jail Workers’ Associa tion, which conducts religious and so cial work in the Los Angeles City and County Jails, is composed of six hun dred volunteer workers under the lead ership of Chaplain Ira E. King. On the list of officers of this organization are the following Institute graduates: Frank A. Coulombe, ’26, Chaplain’s Secretary; John A. Remple, ’19, Asst. Chaplain; Mrs. John A. Remple, ’19, Superintendent of Home Department, and Mrs. Ira E. King (Dorothy Thomp son, . ’19), Superintendent of Spanish Department and Associate Editor of the Jail Evangelist, the monthly pub lication of the United Jail Workers. Every Sunday the gospel is preached and sung within the hearing of all the prisoners in the city and county jails of Los Angeles, through which 100,000 men and women pass each year. These prisoners represent at least 40,000 local families. A feature of the work is the plan whereby Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican pastors preach to their re spective groups in their own languages. In some instances converts from among these nationalities have been deported to their own countries and are preaching the gospel, literally as “foreign missionaries” resulting from the testimony in the jails in Los An geles County. Varied Service Marguerite L. Rouse, ’25, Beverly House, 30 Route Boissezon, Shanghai, China, has been doing office work in connection with a theological seminary at Shanghai. She wrote in November of the uncertainty of how long she might be permitted to stay in China: “If I Just O ff the Press New and Timely Booklet. . .

FAMILY CIRCLE [ Continued from Page 138] A Multiplied Testimony
Dick (’32) and Mrs. Hillis (Margaret Humphrey, ’32), have been serving in the China Inland Mission at Shenkiu, Honan (mail address, 1531 Sinza Rd., Shanghai). After his graduation from the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Mr. Hillis was a member of a Biola gospel team known as the “Crusaders for Christ.“ In recent years in China he. has led a team called the “Cru saders,” composed of men and women of the Shenkiu church. Of last year’s work he reported: “This spring has been their most fruitful sea son. The Lord has enabled these 14 men and women to preach the Word 6 f Life in 670 villages. Over 32,000 people have heard the story of salvation, and 169 have tom down their false gods and taken Jesus Christ as their Saviolir. These are results that can be seen, but we are ccfnfident the seed is bearing even much more fruit. Besides this, the team sent four men back over the evangelized district to strengthen and establish those who had just been saved. Think how long it would take us as single missionaries to reach 32,000 people. We praise God that He has given' this church, a missionary vision and the will ingness to give and to go. The team spent $260 in reaching this large num ber of people, and it was all given by the native Christians because the love of Christ constrained them. Hdw often we fall short of such love!” Mr. and Mrs. Hillis and their two children have been staying at the China Inland fission Home, 1531 Sinza Rd., Shanghai, for a brief time and expect to leave for the United States in about May for furlough.
