STUDENTS— Kindly communicate with Miss Elfreda Stein, B. I., the compiler of these notes. Many letters are being received con taining words o f appreciation regarding the broadcasting o f the Sunday sermons at the Church o f the Open Door through the radio installed at the Institute.

An earnest group o f local Christians under the name of Evangelistic Bible In stitute, are steadily bearing w itness in Fresno. Their main efforts are directed to street preaching, although they hold a daily noort-day prayer meeting, and have some Bible study and a testimony meeting in the rooms in the Temple Bar Bldg. This building overlooks the Court House Park, and frequently Mr, E. R. Kale, a former B. I. student, who .is the leader of this work, sounds out a series o f gospel texts to those seated under the trees. A recent report states that one Sunday afternoon some 200 listened to the message; 37 attended the after m eeting and two boldly to o k their stand fo r Christ. During the month they distributed 3,000 tracts, 120 John’s Gospels. They need the prayers of God’s people, both for courage and that their need o f supplies o f Gospels and tracts should be met in increasing quantities. Charles A. Henry graduated on May 24th from the Southwestern Baptist Th eolog ical Seminary, Seminary Hill, Texas. Mr. and Mrs. C. B.
