ulty, and Bill Pietsch, representing the Student Body, told of the influ ence of Dr. Hubbard in emphasizing the call to the regions beyond, and in imparting the Word of God. At this juncture, the entire student body joined in the farewell to witness the presentation to Dr. Hubbard of the keys of a new 1947 Nash sedan, from the Board of Directors of the Bible Institute. For this surprise gift and event, Dr. Hubbard expressed his warm appreciation in suitable words. Leonard Eilers ’30, cowboy evan gelist, has a really unique ministry and is available for a few more en gagements in the Southern Califor nia area. His message has an appeal for young and old alike. Mail ad dressed in care of Biola Extension Department will reach him. Howard and Mrs. Gould (Ruth Zimmerman ’35) send interesting comments from their field of service in Guatemala, S.A., Box 213. Their particular request for prayer is that their baggage which has been de tained in Los Angeles on account of various types of strikes, may be speedily shipped on to them. They flew to their station the last day of September, and reached their destina tion in a few short hours, but alas! their clothing situation is appalling and getting worse every day. They also ask our prayers for the working
"As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so
is good news from a far country”
(Prov. 25:25). Grace Byron '27, from whom we have not heard ’in many months, is laboring in French Equatorial Africa. From the Brethren Missionary Her ald we quote: “My classes have been with girls, and I have much joy in teaching them . . . little sisters come too. Ages range from about three to eleven—each comes bringing on her head a little pan of food for her lunch. I have divided them into four groups. They must all take a bath before class; sometimes they will declare they have just had a bath when they are as black as soot, but a clean skin looks very different from a dirty one. They line up for inspection, then sing as they march into the room where we have a worship period, memory work, a song and a Bible story.” Grace may soon be home on fur lough. The large number of Biola Family missionaries in Los Angeles gave President Louis Talbot an opportun ity to have another missionary fare well prayer meeting. Returning at an early date to China were Mr. and Mrs. George K. Harris, Violet Le- Fever ’36, Dick '32 and Mrs. HUlis (Margaret Humphrey ’33) and their four children, John Harger 7, Mar garet Anne 6 , Nancy Carolyn 5, and Stephen Richard 3. Bound for Africa were Kathryn Dick '29, and Joe E. '39 and Mrs. Nash (Wilma Lambert ’43). The Nashs will remain in Los Angeles for a time, as they have but recently arrived, and are much in need of a rest. Rose Parnakian ’44, 211 Frankfort, Huntington Beach, Calif., is working under direction of the Los Angeles Council of the Christian Business and Professional Women of America, and is enthusiastic about the future pros pects of this missionary effort in the rural districts. Rose uses her accor dion in these meetings; Ruth Eagle ’45 is song leader, and director of the local conferences. They find no dull moments in this wonderful service for our Lord. The Alliance Weekly is authority for the following: “Mrs. R. M. Chris- P< 9 « Sixteen
man and two children are returning to Khon Kaen in Siam where Mr. Chrisman has preceded them.” Mrs. Chrisman is known to Biola Family Circle as Esther Ender ’27; she is a sister of Ruth Ender ’32, now a Biola Faculty member teaching Spanish, Public Speaking, Homiletics, and act ing as Assistant Superintendent of Women. Alvin L. Moyer ’22, for the past twelve years has had a unique min istry in Yakima, Wash., where he is pastor of the Evangelical Free Church of the Living Word. After more than twenty-five years' faithful service in various capacities at the Bible Institute, Dr. John A. Hubbard, a man greatly beloved, has decided to accept the deanship of the Bible Institute, at Phoenix, Arizona. His departure from the salubrious climate of Southern California for the sunshine and mountain air of our neighboring state was the occa sion for a dinner for Dr. Hubbard arranged by the Board of Directors and faculty of Biola. Board members and fellow workers alike expressed their deep regret at the severance of the delightful ties that bind co laborers in the Lord’s work. Dr. Reid McCullough, representing the fac
