Leslie E. ( ’22) and Mrs. Smith (Mil dred Crump, ’21) are living in New West minster, B. C., Can., where Mr. Smith is pastor of the Sapperton Baptist Church. Sterling Keyes, ’33, and Stanley Nor wich, ’33, called at the Institute when they came to Los Angeles to attend the confer ence of the University Bible Clubs in March. They have been attending the Uni versity of Washington, where Mayreld Ramquist, ’33, Virginia Humphrey, ’33, and Beatrice Peterson have also been en rolled. Clement Hertzler, ’33, has accepted the pastorate o f the Carlsbad Union Church, Carlsbad, Calif. Riba Thompson, ’21, a teacher in the schools o f Riverside, Calif., was a recent visitor at the Institute. Martha Pohnert, ’13, after fifteen years o f missionary experience in China, has been given a burden for unevangelized dis tricts in Alaska. Through an organization formed as a faith work, she and her asso ciates are seeking to give forth the gospel by means' of evening Bible classes for young people during the winter, through visitation, and through Christian camps for boys and girls in the summer—the only camps of the kind in Alaska. Ernest Crabb, ’33, Anchorage, Alaska, has been active in the work with boys’ groups and camps. Blanche Nason, Valdez, Alaska, is en gaged in similar work and is connected with an orphanage in Valdez. Miss Poh nert expects to sail from Seattle, Wash., for Anchorage, Alaska, on June 22 and hopes to return in the fall for deputa tion work, that Christians may hear of the pressing spiritual need o f Alaska. John Neuenschwander, .’25, who has served as pastor of the Gomer and the Ka- lida Presbyterian Churches in Ohio for the last four years, has accepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church o f Creston, la. Members of one o f his churches in Ohio have written o f the blessing and growth of the church under Mr. Neuenschwan- der’s ministry. Meeting at the home of M a r g a r e t Thome, ’34, early in March, Bible Institute graduates in Salem, Ore., enjoyed a happy evening o f fellowship and planned for similar monthly gatherings o f Institute alumni. The guests present included Mrs. Fred J. Tooze, Jr. (Ruth Tibbetts, ’25), Allie Chandler, and Cathryn Kroeker, ’31. Arthur F. ( ’16) and Mrs. Witt (Myrl Hess, ’16) and family of three children, Jewel, Paul, and Gordon, after serving in rural pastorates in Wisconsin for three years, returned last August to the work of the American Sunday School Union, with headquarters at 2713 Ellsworth St., Ber keley, Calif. They are very happy to be back in California and back in the Sunday- school work. [Continued on page 219]
Missionary Radiy R efreshed and stre n g th e n e d by the special services of Easter Week, the ‘ Bible Institute of Los Angeles and the Church of the Open Door turned to “ look on the fields,” viewing the need of lost souls in many lands as that need was presented in the sessions o f the annual Mis sionary Rally of the Church o f the Open Door, held during the week of April 21 to 28. Opening with an Easter sermon by Louis T. Talbot, pastor o f the Church o f the Open Door and President of the Institute, the services continued with searching mes sages and stereopticon lectures by repre sentatives of various fields;^ All of the morning classes of the Institute were sus pended for the conference week, permit ting the students to attend the forenoon meetings. At the evening services, pre ceding the main addresses, Biola Volun teers—students who are definitely planning for particular fields of service—testified to the Lord’s grace and power in leading them to their decision. The list o f speakers, among whom were a number of graduates o f the Bible In stitute of Los Angeles, included the fol lowing from foreign lands: Africa^- H. D.

Zirnmermann, ’13, director o f the work of the Immanuel Mission to Seamen, told o f the witness on ships and in seaports of the world. A fellowship luncheon, at which H. C.

The conference closed with a “Life Invest ment Service,” at which Mr. Mallis was the speaker. A large number of young people signified their decision, reached •during the conference, to follow the Lord to any field He might appoint.
