Biola Graduates Abroad Richard H. (B. Th. ’38) and Mrs. Dilworth (Florence Wessel, ’39), Africa Inland Mission, Mwanza, Tanganyika Territory, E. Africa, are serving in a district where three-foifrths of the population do not know the tribal language that Mr. and Mrs, ifllworth have learned, necessitating their un dertaking the study of a second lan guage in order to present the gospel accurately to these people. Helen G. Cope, ’35, whose mail ad dress is in care of the China Inland Mission, 1531 Sinza Road, Shanghai, China, wrote in August from the lan guage training home in Hiangcheng, Honan, of her having been designated by the Mission to serve in SzecRwam Province. She expected to make a two- months’ journey overland to reach her station, which at first probably will be Chengtu, the provincial-capital. Herbert W. (’26) and Mrs, Cassel (Doris Myers), Central American Mis sion, Jutiapa, Guatemala, C.A., have felt led to place increasing emphasis upon children’s and young people’s work, for the sake of training leaders for the churches in Guatemala. Mr. Cassel describes his attendance at an interdenominational " c o n g r e s.s” of workers, missionary and n a t i v e , drawn from all over Central America, and adds: “The outstanding fact that came from the conferences was the apparent unity of spirit and purpose that characterized the entire body. In Guatemala we have had a united church for several years, but now. it was encouraging to see that spirit of cooperation on an absolutely evangel ical basis receive new impetus, espe cially in the other republics.” Witnessing in America Neil Nellis, ’41, 814 Hill St., Ann Arbor, Mich., is representing the Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship as secre tary to the students on the campus of the University of Michigan. The Fellowship concentrates i t s effort upon the Christians of the campuses, to enable them to evangelize their, fellow students. Mr. Nellis writes, “We are not so interested in numbers and strong organization and big meetings, but emphasize more the small group meetings for daily prayer and weekly Bible study—all with a definite pur pose. We have plenty of- opposition, by the way, by many religious organi zations which meet with, little purpose and care little about individual spirit ual growth. Most of these religious groups and leagues/ are extremely modernistic. . . I continually thank
