’28.—ERNEST H. BROWN was or dained to. the Gospel ministry at the First Baptist Church of Ceres, California, on February 25. ’23.—MARJORIE HARRISON is act ing as secretary to her father, the REV. NORMAN B. HARRISON, of Oliver Presbyterian Church, Minneapolis. Be sides looking after her father’s corres pondence, personal records, helping with his writing, getting out the weekly church calendar, and the monthly church paper which has a circulation of 1,700 or more, she has a Sunday-school class for girls from eighteen to twenty-three, is adviser for the Westminster Guild, and has va rious other things on her hands! Greet ings from Marjorie were read at the Alumni Fellowship meeting on February 27. ’25, P. G. ’29.—ANNA ESCHIEF. 'T am now on the Navajo reservation one hundred and sixty miles northeast of Flagstaff, which is our nearest railroad. I am matron in a government sanatorium for Indians around here and help with the religious work, and it is a joy to minister to the patients physically and spiritually. I am so thankful for the med ical training received at B. I. Our post- office is the most remote from the rail road of any in the United States, and mail is only received twice a week. . . . Thousands sit in darkness—they are wor shiping god's that cannot hear them, myth ical characters and objects- without life. We dwell in the midst of cruelty. Teeth are treated with a red-hot iron. Abscesses are opened with broken glass. ; * . Your earnest prayers will help.” Inci dentally, Anna’s good letter was sent to DR. and MRS H. W. BOYD, of the fac ulty, whom she is thanking for chocolates and a book sent in a Christmas box. . . . Is it not wonderful? Someone wins Anna to Christ, and she in turn goes back to her own people with the old Love Story. —o— Reunion of June, ’24, Class A most enjoyable time was spent Mon day evening, January 27, at the home of VIRGIL PRATT, Los Angeles, when a few members of the above class met to gether.

serious now. Remember the missionaries in prayer in this regard. ’18.—RALPH AND HELEN SCO- VILLE, Ninghsia, Kansu, China, passed through three weeks in the hands of ban dits, but God brought' them out and through and “into a wealthy place.” They are now having many priceless opportuni ties o f. witnessing to the saving grace o-f the Lord JeSus Christ. They mention the extreme cold and the suffering among the poor. ’27—A letter from IRENE AND AL VIN OYER tells of their happiness in the work at the Kauluwela Mission, Hono lulu. The great need for the real Gospel makes them wish they could do more. From The Watchman Examiner, a Baptist publication, we cull the following item: “L e ROY DUDROW was ordained at Rangoon, last fall. Rev. and Mrs. Dud- row will take up work in Myitkyina, one of our most northern mission stations, fifty miles from China’s western frontier. Thirty years ago only Kachin and Shan houses were found here. Now a thriv ing city of several thousand inhabitants serves as a field for even greater service. Several caravan routes lead into China, and the mission is in touch with several border tribes.” MR. AND MRS. DUD ROW (nee MABEL GEIMAN) were graduated from the Bible Institute with the class of 1922. T7.—MARY N. SPOONER is in mis sionary service in San Jose, Costa Rica, Central America. — o— Marriages HELEN ROSALIE B R O W N to JAMES L. CARDER, JR„ ’26, January 28, at Cumana, Venezuela.

These Carry Resurrection News ’26.—IRMA D U D R O W , Chengtu, Szechwan, China, in a letter to friends says: “Perhaps THELMA has told you of our city—a nice little town—one which has never before been-occupied by for eigners as a mission station. Naturally we are great objects of curiosity and peo ple come at all times of the day to see these queer foreigners. Generally, the peo ple are very friendly, especially the chil dren. They come to our children’s meet ings in simply hordes! We do pray that the Word may indeed fall into good ground.” ’23.—GRACE MOTT is in Warsaw, Poland. The European Harvest Field for January contains an item about the women's and children’s work in that city. ’25.—ERIC HORN, of the Sudan In terior Mission, with another young man, is in far-off Abyssinia. He writes to ERNEST NICHOLS: “Three months ago we landed on the site, surrounded by dense forest—two lone pioneers in a strange land. The natives had never seen a white man before, for the most part, and were too frightened to come and work for us. Today, behold our ‘three- tukul-house’ almost complete, a kitchen and boy’s hut well on the way, and some ten or twelve acres of forest cleared. In so many little ways every day God has proved Himself to be with us. . . ” T6.—EDITH HARRIS, home from Africa, is in Philadelphia at present. She is praising God for the great privilege of being a co-worker with Christ on the for eign field. Her last term has been one of blessing, for many girls have come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and God has wrought!miracles in the lives of girls and women. She men tions six untouched tribes before them lying in dense darkness. Miss Harris wishes to be remembered to all members of the Alumni. ’20.—CLARA L. KUEHNY, after fur lough, is back on the field at Champa, C. P., India. She writes: “In the cool season everybody that possibly can do so goes out in Camp for evangelistic work. We pitch our camps in a mango near a village and from there we can probably visit fifteen villages. The men work among the men, and the women in the courtyards of the homes, among the women and children. At night, a sheet is attached to a wall of one of their huts and stereopticon pictures of the life of Christ or .some Bible topic are shown and explained by some of the workers. The pictures attract the ‘crowds and though they are very ignorant, the Spirit of God can bring something to bear on their minds. . . . At any rate our work is to sow the Seed, and this kind of work is one of the best ways to do it.” As in other countries, the political situation is
