THE KING’S BUSINESS

The Correspondence School offers remarkable advantages to men and women who feel, as this soldier does, that God has called them, yet they cannot see the way clear to attend a Bible School. There is also a great field of service for any one who would like to contribute financially to make it possible for students to enroll in the Correspondence School, as there are a number of worthy young people pre­ vented by financial circumstances from tak­ ing up the work. --------- o---------- The Bolivian Mission George Allan, field director of the Bolivia Indian Mission, who recently left for South America, with a party of missionaries, four of whom were students of 'thè Bible Insti­ tute, wrote as follows tó D. F. Robertson, while enroute on the “Anyo Maru” of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha S. S. Line: “I prom­ ised to let you know how things went with us on the voyage, and how they treated us. I have nothing but praise for the Japanese officers and people. There has been an entire absence of anything in the least, unpleasant on the journey, arid a very great deal that has been a revelation to us of the courtesy and efficiency of the Japanese. This is the line-for us. I wish we could always be sure of getting room for our people on the boats of the T. K. K. We could not wish for anything better. I desire to thank you again for all your kindness and help in getting us off. It was a won­ derful ‘get-off’ to me, and would have been a sheer impossibility but for Divine help. It is a good thing, truly, to serve the Lord and be able to count on his help all the way along.” ---------- 0 ---------- B orn , to Mr. and Mrs. John T. Daniel, at Tonkana, Okla., a son, on November 29, 1917. Both parents were students at the Bible Institute, Mr. Daniel having gradu­ ated in December, 1915. The mother’s maiden name was Winifred Banta.

It is good to know that here in the jun­ gle of the Kroo Main's Land, a people is LIVING what we in the homeland so often sing: “I take, O Cross, thy shadow for my abid­ ing place, I know no other 1 sunshine than the sun­ shine of IJis face; Content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss, My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the Cross.” ----------o---------- Correspondence School T HE Correspondence School announces two graduates this month, namely Miss Sue M. Haines of Akron, Ohio, who receives a certificate in course No. 1, “Fun­ damental Doctrines of Christianity” ; and Mr. L. L. Hartzler of Urbana, Ohio, who receives a certificate in course No. 2, “The Life and Teachings of our Lord.” Miss Haines received an average standing of 98U in her work, while Mr. Hartzler made 96. An interesting letter was recently received from a soldier who has been for some time in the trenches of France, but who is now employed in. a, navy yard in Canada. As a member of the gallant fourth Camam Highlanders he participated in many stren­ uous battles. Some months ago he was struck full on the arm by a bomb thrown by a German. He states that the bomb was aimed straight at his head and that he real­ ized at the time that the Heavenly Father would direct the bomb and spare his life. He was severely wounded and lockjaw set in, making it necessary to amputate his arm. For a time his life was despaired of, but through faith in God, he is alive and well. ' ;“I feel that I must study the Scriptures in order to help others,” he writes, “and I am delighted that I can study under Dr. Torrey, whom I heard in Glasgow, Scot­ land, some years ago. My cry now is— make me a man of God and a Soul winner;”
