— writing a textbook for use in the sum mer linguistic schools, doing some trans lation preparation study, and selling Za- potec books. Elwin and Lois (Basha Uhlinger ’41) Pelletiers, Kampala, Uganda, Africa: “W e called in Amona and Yohana the pastor. W e worked for several hours with collect- ting all Bible school records, paper, mi meograph, typewriter, and other class room materials. W e put all these things in one room. W e gave the key to them. Don Penney and Charles Trout ’42 drove in a cloud of dust to tell us that the news was getting bad and that they had come to get Dr. and Mrs. Trout and all guest missionaries. W e are now in Kampala planning to return to the States.” Donald ’28 and Dorothy ’28 Fairley, Equatorial, Africa: “ Don has made a ten day trip to Brazzaville in company with the national Pastor, Jean Mbandinga, President of the national Church of South Gabon. They were invited to participate in a Conference with African church leaders from five republics to discuss mis sionary work in the newly independent countries. Two thirds of the delegates were African pastors and laymen. A ll agreed that it was a most helpful and enlighten ing discussion.” Ed ’57 and Alice (Wilcox ’57) Jackson, Netherlands, New Guinea: “W e have started a believers’ class mainly for the purpose of training and teaching these who are following Christ. A ll four of the young men who have received the Lord, are in the class, along with some of the older men. W e meet together every after noon except Sunday and they learn to pray, quote Scripture, lead singing, et cetera. Our mission has a 35 foot launch which supplies the missionaries, and all the missionaries have native type dugout canoes in which we visit neighboring vil lages, using an outboard motor.” Janet Ullman ’47, Nigeria, West Africa: “ Nigeria is progressing at almost breath taking speed. The desire for education is so great that there are not nearly enough schools for all who wish to attend, espe cially Teacher Training and Secondary Schools, but also Primary schools such as ours here.” Ray ’34 and Sophie (Witter ’36) De La Haye, Monrovia, Liberia: “Pray that as thousands of radio sets are tuned daily to E LW A , the Holy Spirit will illumine the minds of those who listen to the Gospel that they may see the gift of God.” Ernest ’24 and Hope (Hepburn ’26) Nichols, Burbank, California: “Ernest took up his work as Minister of Membership (Visitation, et cetera) at the First Baptist Church, where our old friend of Bible In stitute days, Martin Long, is Pastor.” Samuel ’55 and Anna Durant are serv ing the Lord in Brazil.
Katherine Gurzi ’55, Zululand, Natal, Union of South Africa: “W hen I left Tshongwe Mission Station, the African leader of our church announced from the pulpit that I was going to Mosvold M is sion Hospital to rest! I was rather amused at this remark at the time, and now hav ing completed 2 very full months, I am more amused than ever. One just does not ‘rest’ at M M H —• unless he is a patient! But my, how good and refreshing it has been to be back among missionary and African friends again and to enter into the busy routine of the hospital. Six days a week were spent in the office trying to help catch up, while Sundays were spent participating in Sunday school work, church services, and personal work among the women patients. Between-times, an effort was made to keep up with a study of the Zulu language. Mostly English is spoken at the hospital, and I feared lest all that had thus far been learned be forgotten.” Iva Lauber (Hortense ’2 7), Houck, A ri zona: “New Year’s morning I went over to the church, early, to light the fires. W hen I came out I slipped on the icy step. As a result I fractured my ankle.” Basil ’51, ’52 and Betty (Beeler ’50) Costerisan, Philippines: “ During the first five days after the opening of the Inter national Fair witness, at least five people were inquiring for more help and Bible studies, thus needing follow-up. Gospel teams come nightly from among the forty cooperating churches. Informal services are conducted in English, Chinese, and the national language as well as other Philippine dialects.” Cyril and Frances (Gray ’32, ’34) Faulk ner, Lopburi, Thailand: “Almost daily we have students and some of the teachers coming in to talk about the Jesus way. More students are coming to the English Bible classes.” Benjamin H. Cowles ’50, Placerville, California, is working with the American Sunday School Union in that area. Carl W. Jungkeit, Los Gatos, Califor nia: “The sixteen-year-old mother was de lighted when we presented her with a huge box of baby clothes given by the ladies of Hessel Union Sunday School. The young couple was out of work with no place to live, so this woman and her husband had taken them in, even though they had four children of their own. One would just not believe there was such a need in our beloved America, but we find this condition all too often in some of our rural areas. Besides clothing and food, we left two Bibles with them. The young mother said that when she was a child her parents worked and never had time for the children, so they never attended Sunday school.” Velma Pickett ’43, Mexico: Her activi ties include both desk work and foot work
