Blessings of Anniversary Conference The blessings o f the Twenty-first An niversary Conference on Christian Life and Service, February fifth to twelfth, still manifest' their presence. Both students and visiting friends came into a fresh and vital experience of Christ and found new interest in the program of making Him known to others. It was “A Great Week,” and one o f the most helpful con ferences eve£ held at the Institute. —o-— Missionaries Brushing Up We are pleased to have in our student body this year, quite a number o f mis sionaries on furlough from the far cor ners o f the earth. We bid them thrice welcome. Our classroom doors are al ways Open to these servants o f the King from tile distant fields. China, India, Mexico, the Philippine Islands, and South America are represented. —o— Mr. Hillis Says Farewell After over ten years o f faithful service as one o f the Field Representatives o f the Bible Institute, MR. W . A. HILLIS sev ered his connections with the Institute February 1st. Mr. Hillis and his friendly smile and hearty handshake will be missed about the school. For years Mr. Hillis has carried on an extensive correspond ence with members of the Alumni Asso ciation, former students, and hundreds of other friends. These will miss his kindly Word. : Arrangements are; being perfected whereby the quarterly news letter sent out from Mr. Hillis’s office will be con tinued under the direction of the Exten sion Department. Alumni and friends are asked to continue to send in news notes concerning themselves and their work, addressing either Mr. C. B. Whitwell, President o f the Alumni Association, or Rev. Albert E. Kelly, o f the Extension Department. W e wish Mr. Hillis and his family Godspeed. —o— w Tigers!—Run For Your Life! j How is this for a tiger story from M r s . CHAUNCEY B. SHELDON (nee HATT IE COPE ’22), French Equatorial Africa? “A week ago a tiger came within a few yards of our house. He went into our ¿oat pen and took all o f our nicest goats (we keep goats for milk). The natives claimed this was a man turned into an animal. They really do believe that men sometimes turn to animals. Well, he went in the native huts and in two weeks he killed and ate 14 people. Sometimes he. would remain in the house all night to eat his prey. When you would go near him he would roar almost like thunder. I’ll' tell you we spent some pretty anxious moments, for the beast chose to camp on a little hill not far from our house, and r we have no doors or windows except screen ones. “Finally about 20 of our bravest Chris tians decided to go and pursue the beast.
But before they went they prayed about it. At about noon they returned saying they had speared it. Imagine our surprise and delight when they came bringing in this ferocious creature. They haven’t for gotten to thank God for it either, for they say had He not given strength, all would have been killed.” C. C. Students In Day School The secretary o f the , Correspondence School was happy to welcome at the be ginning of the second semester two young men as day students, who were formerly members' o f the Correspondence School. HAROLD A. D e GROFF, while engaged in the service o f the Navy, completed the Correspondence Course in book studies, finding it most beneficial and a source of great comfort in the midst of persecution. FRANK J. MARTENS, from Sask., Can ada, completed half o f the studies in the personal work course and testifies to the fact that the blessings received from these studies were a great factor in determining the school which he should enter for full time study. W e pray God’s richest bless ing to rest upon both o f these young men engaged in the work of the Day School and look forward to seeing them out in the field of active, service upon completion o f their course. Due to the tremendous increase in en rollments during the past several months, it has* been necessary to enlarge the office o f the Correspondence School, which now occupies rooms 237-241 o f the Men’s Hotel. As you think of us occupying these rooms, breathe a prayer for God’s bless ing. —o— Missionary Union Affairs The Missionary Union had the pleasure of hearing recently, Dr. R. H. Glover, the Associate Director of the China Inland Mission, and also the author o f “The Progress o f the World-wide Mission,” this book being used in the mission classes. His topic for the evening was “A Missionary Call.” In connection with the first meeting of the new semester the S. M. U. held a banquet in the Fishermen’s Club Room. MR. AND MRS. CHESTER RUT LEDGE, ’21 and ’20 respectively, of China, were the invited guests. Both Mr. Rutledge, and Mr. Farmer o f'th e North Africa Mission, addressed the Union.
O u r Evangelists, Rev. Britton Ross and P rof. Leo Polman, have a few open dates in their s c h e d u l e. Churches wanting old time meetings should communicate at once with the Institute.
