statement: “ My husband prays, not once, but many times a day, that the will of God be made known to him, and that he will accept it.” Phyllis Bapple, Box 220, Khartoum, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, formerly on The King’s Business editorial staff, writes: “ Sometimes I really wish the time did not pass so rapidly; I certainly do not have time for homesickness. My office duties keep me busier than ever, and I’ve really learned how to turn out the letters. Arabic is coming along slowly . . . I’m at a disadvantage having to give it second place. Sometimes I do long to throw my grammar into a corner. Still, my great desire is to master it, and if I do throw it into a corner, you can be assured that I will fish it out again. Weather conditions have modified some what. While it continues to get as hot as 105° or-so in the day, it does cool off at night—enough for a blanket most nights. The coral creeper, oleander, and other bright flowers make our compound beautiful. The Lord has been working here at headquarters, we have seen the Spirit working to the salvation of souls in our Sunday school and evening church service and we do praise Him for it. One of our missionaries from up-country tells a thrilling story of seeing lions right outside her door, of trying to chase them out of the tall grass with a car, and of almost running over one of them with her car. Many nights I go to sleep with the sound of lions roaring in my ears—only they are in the zoo. I’ll admit it makes me turn a bit cold to think Of trekking out in this country and sleeping under the stars. We have lots of wild life here such as giraffes, ele phants and many in the deer family. I am looking for the day when I can go up-country and see something of real missionary life.” President Talbot, in his latest letter to his large radio family, asks special prayer for Bible Institute broadcasts along the Pacific Coast, for the students who have a part in the work, and for those who assist him in the preparation of the material which goes out over the air. Pray that the hearts of the list eners may be open to the gospel mes sage. He asks: “ Pray especially for Biola Alumni scattered over the world. Many are in positions of great promi nence and leadership and need our most earnest intercession. Some are facing great hardship and all need the en couraging touch of God’s blessing. Pray that their ministry may be greatly ef fective in the salvation of the lost.” More Biola Family Doings William G.

Rev. Herbert R. Bruce ing of December 10th, 1948. His death was unexpected although he had been un der observation of a Minnesota clinic for some years. As a young married man, Mr. Bruce left a prosperous business to answer the call of the Lord to enter the ministry. During his student days, he had charge of the Biola Information Desk, and there made many friends for Biola. Recently he was added to the faculty of his Alma Mater, as a teacher of Syste matic Theology, and was in his class room as usual the day before his death. To his beloved wife, and to the friends and members of his congregation Bible Institute faculty and family extend sin cere sympathy. They mourn not as those who have no hope, for they know for him to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S
