Clem Berry, our efficient musical direc- tor, will leave in August for Princeton University, where he expects to pursue his theological studies. .He is well ground- ed in the truth and the higher critic bug will have a hard time attaching himself to Berry. Mr. Berry's services have been appre- ciated by the faculty and students, and we anticipate for him a life of great use- fulness in the University. Messrs. Klinginsmith and Zimmerman have opened the first Bible Institute Union Chapel. The building belongs to the In- stitute. Services are held Sunday morning and night, and a flourishing Sunday school h'as been inaugurated. Five boys con- fessed Christ at the opening of the Sunday school. One man was saved who has been the subject of prayers for years. We look for a good harvest from the efforts of these men. The members of the Fishermen's Club are conducting street meetings on Mon- day nights after the class. These services are largely attended and are being pro- ductive of much good. Men stay to listen for an hour and many stay for personal work for another hour! We have found these night meetings the most profitable of any we have held. Mr. Elliott Barrett, accompanied by Chester White, Hugh Wallace, Andrew Johnson and L. Wear, will be the flying squadron in an evangelistic engagement for the next two months. The work will be primarily among the young people. What a team for the Lord's work! Fujit'a, our Japanese student, converted in Kimura's meetings in Tapan seven years ago, stirred up by Kimura's meetings here six months ago, and a student for that * period of time, has been used in winning 22 Japanese. His devotion to the Master shames many of us. Dr. Lapsley McAfee of Berkeley gave the Fishermen's Club a rousing address one Monday night last month. He has a class of young men called The Witnesses and is being greatly blessed in his touch with tiié many fellows in the University town. Andrew Johnson, of thé 1911 Class, is conducting a young men's Bible class in Fullertôn. The class is growing and the interest increasing. Harry Hill is conducting classes in Santa Ana "and Eedondo. The young-mejii are making good progress in Bible study.
minutes more we had learned to love him and would have divided our last crust with him. What better proof can there be" of the reality of Christ than that the hearts of Mongolians and Caucasians can be knit in lov.e in so short a time. Kimura is an inspiration. He illustrates in his life the true spirit of a disciple who has an un- quenchable passion for souls. May the Ijord multiply his kind. OUR SPANISH WORK. Several changes have lately been made at 419 N. Main street, and the Mission Hall has been given a new white dress. A reading table has been put in and"the Mis- sion is open from 11 a. m. to 1 p. m., and from 3 to 9 p. m. each day. Also a noon- day prayer meeting is conducted besides the r eg alar open air and indoor evening meetings. We would be glad to see friends at the Mission any day or evening. During the month of May, 64 open air and indoor Gospel meetings were con- ducted, with an attendance of 1870, over 90 per cent of which were unsaved, per- sons. There were 14 piofessed conver- sions. Won't you pray daily for this work and thus co-operate with us? THE NEW MUSICAL DIRECTOR. We have prayed much for guidance in the choice of a musical director and have been, we believe, guided in the choice of Professor L. F. Peckham. Last winter Mr. Peckham was in the city and visited the •sehool. We were impressed with his abili- ' ty and have had him in mind ever since Ten year's of active service in chorus lead- ing, evangelistic singing and other lines have qualified him for the work needed in our growing school. Mr. Peckham will be with us in Septem- ber and will bring to his work the enthu- siasm of a successful conductor and teacher. Our Sky Pilot, Tom Hannay, who has labored at Mo.iave and along the aqueduet for the past two years with such abundant success, leaves us to take up evangelistic work among the Endeavorers of the state. We regret the parting with this beloved brother, but we rejoice in the great field opened for him. A vital spiritual touch with thousands of young people will be possible for Mr. Hannay and he will make the most of the privilege. There is no man in the state better qualified for this great work, and we predict that the com- ing year will be the best in the history of Endeavorers in California.
