The Bible Institute
Missionaries in Alaska F AR TO the north of the United States, yet still in the “ homeland,” a number of former students of the Bible Insti tute of Los Angeles are finding the Lord’s appointed field for their service. Tourists who spend only a few weeks in viewing the natural beauty of Alaska cannot enter into a full understanding of the loneliness that missionaries face in that land, the long cold winters that they endure, the spiritual apathy that they meet— nor can they know the encouraging results that preaching and living the gospel have wrought. But there is One who knows! Ernest ( ’33) and Mrs. Crabb (Helen Snyder, ’33) are happy in witnessing in Chitina. On the gospel ship, “ Princeton,” Verne ( ’26) and Mrs. Swanson (Mayreld Ramquist) travel long distances from their headquarters at Wrangell, evangeliz ing as they go, and frequently transporting children to and from the mission school at Haines, where Ruth Farquharson, ’28, is doing faithful and effective work for the Lord. Away to the west, at the distant station of Kenai, Eleanor Schuhmann, ’34, is laboring. Her coworker, Pauline Smith, ’29, is temporarily assisting at the El Nathan Home at Valdez. From Douglas, Alaska, word comes that Charles D. (’20) and Mrs. Hull (Amanda Yoho, ’22) are associated with W . E. Pietsch and his daughter Grace Pietsch in the work of the Alaska Evangelization Society. Be sides a far-reaching radio ministry, these workers hold numerous Bible classes and conduct house-tb-house visitation, distribut ing gospel literature. For all of these missionaries, and other; representatives of Biola in Alaska whose names may have been omitted inadvertently from this list, prayer is requested, that in this hard field the Lord may produce eternal fruit for His glory. Addition to Biola Faculty S instructor in Phonetics and in first- year Greek, Eugene A. Nida began - his work at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles at the opening of the second semester in February. Specializing in langu ages at the University of California at Los Angeles, Mr. Nida majored in Greek and was graduated with highest honors. He was active in Christian groups while at the university, and in recent months he has had many opportunities to address young people’s groups of college age. For the teaching of phonetics and morph ology of language to prospective missionaries in various countries, Mr. Nida’s own experi ence in studying the unwritten language of a primitive Indian tribe in Mexico is a valuable background. Last summer he taught a course in the morphology of language at Camp Wycliffe, the summer school of linguistics sponsored by the Pioneer Mission Agency of Philadelphia. The course he teaches at Biola is also helpful for mis sionaries who will be needing to reduce a language to writing. A
