The Bible Institute FAMILY CIRCLE
Changing a Missionary Map F RIENDS of Lawrence E. (’32) and Mrs. Simpson (Helen Hubbard, ’30) rejoiced in a brief but impressive ceremony in the Church of the Open Door at a Sunday morning service in October. Mrs. Simpson’s father, John A. Hubbard of the Institute faculty, Was asked to give a short message, and the missionary com mittee of the church announced that, it had become possible to add Mrs. Simpson to the group of missionaries supported by the church. A striking feature of the .interior of the Church of thè Open Door in recent months has been the large map of the world that is frescoed against the front of the church auditorium above the choir loft. The loca tion of the place of service of each of the
more than sixty-five missionary members of the church is indicated by a red or a green light—red if the missionary’s finan cial support is cared for by the church, and green if it is not provided by the church. 'U At just the proper point in the cere mony, Dr. Hubbard’s pressure of a small electric button caused the light showing Mrs. Simpson’s place of service to change from green to red. That there may be more and more lights on the map—and more of them red—is the prayer of Pastor Louis T . Talbot and members of the Church of the Open Door.
