John Kliewer may how be obtained for deputation work west of Kansas City, Kans, His address is 1521 Lincoln,, Bakers5: field, Calif. #. A journey of seven days brought Frank and Mrs. Chaplin (Ruth McCahan, T9) home to the Uni ted States from their. Bolivian mission station among the In dians of that South American land. They may be addressed at 849 Edgar Ave., Beaumont, Calif. Wilma R o b i s o n , ’33, writes from her home in Bentley, La., of the Lord’s gracious provision for her to return to America by airplane from her mission station in Nigeria, West Africa. Miss Robison is already looking for ward to the time when she can return to the land of the Lord’s calling. ♦ And here are greetings from Marie Schroeder, ’42, who has ar rived safely in Minna, Nigeria, West Africa, after traveling by water, rail, and air. As she saw the beloved home s h o r e s of Apierica fade into the distance, the familiar strains of “ Jesus,. Saviour Pilot Me” were heard over the radio. Truly the Lord did just th a t!1Miss Schroeder spent 'one month in a foreign port, and even there the Lord supplied Christian friends- with whom she had fellowship.

As they watched the young .men come and go, they were im- pressed by the need of a similar place where young, people might bring their friends, and find Christian fellowship and recrea tion. Thus step by step thè Lord has led them to establish the •V“ Good News Center” in Glendale, Calif. Here you also w ill find Jesse (’43) and Mrs. Brown (Myr tle Anna Brooks, ’43). Not to every servant of thè ; Lord is given the happy privilege o f celebrating a silver anniver sary denoting twenty-five years of faithful service in one portion of His vineyard. But just such an occasion was enjoyed by Sister Helena Entz, ’32, this past year, at the Bethel Deaconess Home and Hospital for the Aged, Newton, Kans. With the exception of two years spent at Biola, Sister Hel- . ena’s gifts and talents as a nurse have been devoted without inter ruption to making the' declining years of others more easy. But some make lonjj; journeys. ' Whether they travel by motor' , transport, airplane, boat, or train, Biola graduates praise God for journeying mercies. John Klie- -, wer, ’38, used all of these modes i of travel before, arriving once again within the halls of Biola, after spending five years in the Belgian Congo under the- Africa Inland Mission. Imagine a Biola reunion in the heart of Africa! Òn special occasions like Bible conferences, weddings, the clos ing of school, and trips to the government posts, that very thing happens w h e n Gurney ( ’39) and Mrs. H a r r i s (Laura W illis); Harold (’29) and Mrs. Amstutz (Jane Yeths, ’32) ; Henry (’23) and Mrs. Senff; Eldo ( ’35) and Mrs. Epp; Peter ( ’38) and Mrs. Brashler (Edythe McKee, ’37) ; Mrs. Beatrice King (Beatrice F. Tannehill, ’25); Allan (’24) and Mrs. McIntosh; B e r n a r d Litchman, T7; George (’20) and Mrs. Van Dusen; Bob and Mrs. Deans (Mary F ifield); William and Mrs. Spees (Ella Deans), and others meet to exchange ex periences and blessings. Remem ber, too, that the spiritual and physical strain upon African mis-
Doesn’t it give you a spiritual thrill to hear about a new ag gressive work being blessed in a unique way? A number of Biola’s young women are now Village missionaries in rural America under the Christian Business. Women’s Council of America. Groups of Christian business women have been organized in to councils in ■the major cities along the Pacific Coast, and now the movement is steadily grow ing in the East.- Their motto, “Living Christ In the business world,” and their aim, .“Preach ing Christ in rural America,” , are realized when consecrated young women are supported in rural districts as- missionaries by the ■ council members working in the business world for Christ. Often these missionaries go into dis tricts long neglected by Chris tian workers. It is necessary for them to open and clean dilapi dated church buildings. But soon the children are gathered for Bi ble classes, tracts are distributed, homes visited, and a real work is begun. Even as you are read ing this letter, Alma Hiebert, '43, is serving in Eastern Oregon; Geneva Kosher, ’42, in South Da kota; Dorothy Starr, ’43, in North ern Oregon, and Ruth Wilson, ’43, is in Northern California.
