They found an old, vacated, thatched hu t and lived th ere. When the : m issionary retu rn ed a year later he found th e man was making an honest struggle and introduced him to a good situation. They quickly arose to b etter cir cumstances, and all the time kept praying for the family. Then they sent th e ir p aren ts $40.00 and told them th a t th e Lord had blessed them and asked th e whole fam ily to come and live w ith them and share God’s blessing on th eir Christian home. They came and in tim e the fath e r and mother-in-law, as well as th e b ro th er and sister-in-law and th e ir two children were won to the Lord. No wonder she chose a new name. A year ago Deh Yung wanted to come to th e Bible In sti tu te to prepare to be a Bible woman, bu t we were not able to adm it her as we had no class forgone w ith so little edu cation. Then, about Christmas time, her husband moved to Changsha where he has a very good situation and she pled so to be allowed a t least to come and listen to th e Bible teaching th a t we could not bu t adm it her. She is such an earnest Christian and so tru ly seeks to live up to her name th a t we count it a real privilege to have her in the school and hope th a t she may be able to take the full course, p re paring herself to do the kind of work for th e women of China th a t th a t o th er Bible woman did for her. , This is the sincere purpose of both Deh Yung and her husband, who has released her from home responsibilities and is providing all h er expenses while she is in the Hunan Bible In stitu te.

A fter a few days’ re st they started out for the old home town as they wanted to live and work there. It was a 200 mile walk and they had an equivalent of less th an two American dollars between them .
