for the meal came later for the meeting held in the Lyceum Club room. The president, William E. Kliewer, ’22, explained that it had been the desire of the Alumni Association to give special rec ognition to former students o f Biola who were at home on furlough from various mission fields. This emphasis was repeated by the toastmaster, Cutler B. Whitwell, ’25. The attractiveness of the club rooms—the result of the untiring efforts o f Mrs. W. E. Kliewer (Alma A. Schindler, ’23), Helen J. White, ’20, and their helpers— was especially appreciated by the mission ary members, several of whom had just returhed to the homeland after years spent
Crucified my Lord.” Delmar Howard, ’33, Ruth Welty, and Gladys Erickson gave the “Hallelujah Chorus” as a double piano selection. John B. Trowbridge led the congregational singing, with Mrs. Don Mathews (Margaret Pinkerton, ’27) at the piano. Among the former Biola students who were most recent arrivals from the field were George W . Jackson, ’25, who, with Mrs. Jackson (Agnes Hosie, ’26) and two daughters, is affiliated with the Orinoco River Mission in Venezuela, South Amer ica ; Mr. and Mrs. George Van Dusen (both ’20, E.S.), serving with the Africa Inland Mission in Congo Beige; Mr. and Mrs. Donald Fairley (both ’28), represent ing the Christian and Missionary Alliance in the Belgian Congo; three others of the same board—Grace Scudder, ’25, from the Philippine Islands, and Mr. and Mrs. David Siemens (Irene Witmer, ’20), from Ecua dor; Mr. and Mrs. Harold M. Young, af filiated with the American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society in Burma; and Grace Ogg, ’26, and Leona Renkel, ’26, o f the Bible Lands Gospel Mission in Syria. Mr. Fairley showed unusually fine stere- opticon pictures of his work in the Belgian Congo, and other missionaries spoke. The fellowship in song and testimony which the evening afforded will Jong be remembered. But even more sacred and abiding will be the memory o f the closing scene, when, gathered about the Lord’s Table, representatives of many lands re called the Lord’s death and His promised return. The Communion service was in charge of Dr. Hubbard; and the company, “when they had sung an hymn,” went out —strengthened, encouraged, “looking unto Jesus” with renewed hope o f His return. Alumni News On the Sunday before Christmas, Nathan ( ’29) and Mrs. Walton (Lois Whipple, ’29), members o f the China In land Mission, took their five-months-old daughter, Barbara Ann, to the Chinese church at Wuhu, Anhwei Province, to dedicate her to the Lord. Neil ( ’28) and Mrs. Weir are with the Inland South America Missionary Union at IquitoS, Peru. They write: “ Our hearts are nearly bursting with joy and praise unto our blessed Lord for the way in which He has so wondrously led and cared for us. In answer to prayer, we entered the region of the lower Huallaga River and are now established in a small village called Lagunas. We held some gospel meetings in the ‘town hall,’ which was freely offered to us, but later, due to a new village mayor, this offer was revoked. W e simply waited, and were greatly re joiced when interested listeners offered their homes. In August and September, there was an epidemic of measles, which is serious among the Indians and is greatly feared. It gave us many opportunities for entering the people’s homes, broke down much prejudice, and opened doors that might otherwise have taken years to un lock. We feel the necessity o f being in the garrison of your prayers.” Louise Gallo, ’31, after being graduated from the Metropolitan High School in Los Angeles, last June, returned to her home in Shelton, Conn. Ottis L. Priddy, ’25, is a member of the Men’s Inter-Collegiate Debate Team of Wheaton College, Wheaton, 111. Ruby Bowman, ’29, has completed her training as a nurse, and is an accepted can didate for work in Africa, under the For eign Missionary Society of the Brethren Church.
amid the squalor o f heathenism. In the dining room, the tables were decorated to represent foreign lands, and the program of the evening consisted largely o f mes sages from missionaries. Before the missionaries were introduced, Dr. E. L. McCreery and Dr. John A. Hub bard, both representing the Institute fac ulty, brought brief, helpful messages, and the “ Peerless Quartet”—Harold Amstutz, ’29, David Quiring, ’28, Eugene Riddle, ’30, and Henry Buhler—sang two numbers. About thirty-five young women, all former members o f the women’s glee club of the Institute, were led by Herbert G. Tovey in the singing of “When I Think How They
