To the many friends of Dr. and Mrs. Herbert G. Tovey, the news of the sud den Homegoing of Mrs. Tovey, on June 2, from Log Angeles, Calif:, will bring a great sense of loss. She will be re membered by many who, during the period of about twenty years of her husband’s ministry of music in connec tion with the Bible Institute of Los An geles and the Church of the Open Door, came in touch with his gifted and gra cious helpmeet. The funeral service wag held, on June 4 at the First Baptist Church of Montebello, Calif., of which Dr. Tovey became the pastor early in 1941, When Dr. and Mrs. Tovey felt led of the Lord to enter upon the work of this pastorate, the Bible In stitute of Los Angeles followed them with deep interest and prayer; and now, through the sorrow which Dr. Tovey and his daughter Ruth (Mrs. Woodrow Rood, ’38) have experienced, this real ization of the fellowship in the gospel is deepened. Persons who may wish to write to Dr. Tovey may address him in care of First Baptist Church, Monte bello, Calif. Lewis C. Boykin, an employee of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles from -July, 1929. until the time of his death on June 8, 1941, will be recalled by literally hundreds of friends as one of the Institute’s elevator operators — a man whose Christian character, ready courtesy, and sunny smile were unfail ingly evident. Without any period of illness, he was ushered suddenly into the presence of his Lord. As evidence of that unity -in Christ Jesus which knows no barriers of race, over a hundred friends of the Institute at tended the funeral service on June 11, at which Clayton Russell, a former Biola student, presided.- A picture of “Lewis” appears on page 261 of this issue, as a reminder of the outshining of the grace of God through the life of a humble servant, and as a prompting tq prayer for Mrs. Boykin and the daughter, Ethel Yvonne
