With the Lord
Letters o f the Month American-European Fellowship 15 Philipse PI. Yonkers, N. Y. My Dear Praying Friends: “ Ye shall know that the living God is among you” (Josh. 3:10). There is noth ing more wonderful than to feel His manifested -presence—to know that He doeth whatsoever He willeth, and noth ing can stay His hand. During weeks of illness, which were weeks of praise and prayer, others came in to join us in intercession for all saints. Our weekly gatherings together are much blessed. We call them ‘TJpper-Room Fellowship.’ “A Jewish physician often comes to see me. He passed through concentration camps; became crippled and hardened. He cannot forgive, and forget, but he reads the suitable books that we give him. There is still another Jew, now almost blind, for whom I covet your prayers. We can read the Scripture and pray with him. He is one of the promi nent people in Nice; he constructed the great palace which the Nazis later used as headquarters, and it was there that I was made a prisoner. Just to sit with this gentleman and remember such days, and realize the leading of God, shows how people are brought together for the one purpose of finding Christ. “I wish that I could introduce you to the group that comes to us on Friday evening. There are Communists, who, after reading of the conversion of one of their people, became interested in the Bible and gospel meetings. There are Orthodox people -groping after light. One lady came to seek peace with God; the sudden death of King George was used to wake her up. One Jesuit student is also a seeker; he was so upset at things he saw in college. My dentist, my doctor, my advocate, with their wives, are coming, and seemingly interested. Three Danish girls, sisters, who have been with me, are born-again p/nd ready to serve the living God. Tordis Christoffersen '29 1743 W. Harrison St. Chicago 12, III. “Greetings from the Windy City! Spring has come and it reached 82° today. All of this reminds me of the nice spring days spent at dear old BIOLA. Many times my thoughts go back to three happy years of learning Bible truths, and making many friends. “At the present time I am in my eighth month of training at the Presby terian Hospital. Just recently 62 of us received the school cap which we are wearing very proudly. Our days are very busy, and more and more responsi bility is being put upon us. We have just moved into an ultra-modern nurses’ home where each student has her own room and furniture; color and construc tion are more than we ever dreamed. “Reports come that you received a real blessing from your Missionary Confer ence. I trust that each student was touched." Florence Remus '51
Dr. Howard W. Kellogg, 88, after an exceedingly busy and fruitful life, was called in to see the King on April first. Dr. Kellogg began teaching in the public schools early in life, but had devoted the greater part of his ministry to teaching Biblical Literature, Greek and kindred subjects, having been an honored figure on the faculty of Occidental College, Bible Institute of Los Angeles, and West mont College. For a number of years he was Associate editor of Prophecy of which Dr. Keith L. Brooks is editor. To Mrs. Kellogg and other members of the family, BIOLA faculty and family ex tend sincere sympathy in the passing of this honored man of God, and also in the tragic death of their only son, Bruce Kellogg, last November. Bruce had main tained a home for them in beautiful Los Gatos. Memorial services were conducted in the Westminster Presbyterian Church, San Jose, California. BIOLA Flashes Kathryn Dick ’29 and Geneva Kosher ’42, having furloughed in Los Angeles and vicinity for several months, are in the east expecting to sail for Africa at an early date. John ’46, and Sarah Charlton are moving to Diamond Springs, Calif., where they will take over the pastorate of the only church in this former thriving gold mining town. What a challenge!

Of course, baby Ruth Ann, will be heard on special occasions, also! Paul ’50, and Marion Currie-Kirk ’49 are ac cepted candidates to work with the Wy- cliffe Bible Translators. Zeta Chapter of Biolans has been organized at Wheaton College. This new chapter is gladly wel comed.

FAMILY CIRCLE
“God hath spoken once, twice have 1 heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Also unto thee, 0 Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work" (Psa. 62:11,12). Dr. Jessie McDonald, 39 years CIM medical missionary, is among the many who have been faithful witnesses to our Lord throughout the years and now find themselves waiting upon God to know the next step He would have them take in His wonderful service. “Dr. Jessie” worked unceasingly during the war years, establishing hospitals, training nurses and endeavoring to And medical preparations to ease the sick to whom she has devoted her life. Pearl Heath ’44, AIM missionary to the Kenya Colony in East Africa, will soon be on furlough here in the States. She reports, “ This past week found the mimeograph going at full speed as Bible schedules of work for the schools were needed before I leave for home. We never realize how much it means to order the books for Sunday school teach ers until we find ourselves in a place where every aid to teaching must be written and put out in sufficient num bers'to supply all the teachers.” A nurse is needed at Mukaa. Pray about this. A sixth station is opening up and the laborers are few. Nancy Woolnough, ’47, having re turned to California as Christian Ed. director in the Calvary Church at Pla- Jcentia, Calif., Chester J. Padgett, ’40, pastor, will resume the editorship of Alumnews.

Smith, head of the de partment of missions, Mrs. Smith, Dale Cundall, Helen Longanecker, Miriam Hemingway, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Owen, accompanied by twenty or more Biola students, will make a third mis sionary journey into Cuba on a prac tical missionary training trip in June. The entire group, picking up others as they journey, will number about fifty who will embark on a real evangelization crusade in a needy field for three months. Much was accomplished on the trip last year, yet the field is “ white unto har vest.”
