Officers of the Alumni Association are William E. Kliewer, ’22—president; Carlton C. Buck, ’30—vice-president; Helen White, ’20— secretary; and Pearl Piatt, ’30—treasurer. President Louis T. Talbot welcomed the alumni and guests and expressed his con viction o f the Lord’s blessing upon the In- , stitute. In a brief message, John B. Trow-, bridge brought to the group a reminder of their significant part in representing their school. A male quartet o f Institute students sang “A Christmas Carol” and “ Only Jesus.” Recently returned from a trip o f several hundred miles, H. C. Hunt, of the Field Department of the Bible In stitute o f Los Angeles, told striking stories o f his contacts with graduates in widely scattered posts and in varied forms of service. Bringing two vocal numbers as his per sonal testimony, Robert Hoobyar sang “My Father Watches Over Me” and “ Only a Sinner.” Mrs. Hoobyar (Evelyn B. Palmer, ’21) was the accompanist. The group was then led in prayer by Dr. David L. Cooper o f the Biblical Research Society. Favorite gospel choruses were enjoyed un der the leadership of J. B. Trowbridge. Dr. John A. Hubbard brought a refreshing devotional message centering in the prac tical significance o f the two advents o f the Lord. The meeting closed with prayer led by Mr. Hunt, and after a time of fellowship in the Lyceum club room, the members returned to the tasks and1the witness which the Lord ordains until His coming. Board o f National Missions of the Pres byterian Church, have as their field the Big Horn Basin in the northwest corner o f Wyoming. At a recent Student Mis sionary Union meeting, Mr. Evans showed motion pictures which revealed in a strik ing and concrete way the difficulties and privileges of this ministry to unchurched communities. Writing in The Sunday School Pioneer, Mr. Evans reports: “A l most all the teachers in the Big Horn Basin use our Week Day Bible Lessons. It is encouraging to note that the rural school-teachers take an interest in the children that extends beyond the pre scribed course o f study, into their moral and spiritual welfare. One o f the pupils . . . wishes to prepare for the Christian ministry. To encourage him, the public school-teacher instructs him privately and Alumni News S TANLEY T. ( ’22) AND MRS.

FATHER. A R E Y O U THERE7 By Dinnie McDole Hayes
A little child lay in the dark: The room was strange, he saw nowhere; He was afraid; but then he called, " O Father, are you there?" He felt a hand, so strong and warm, Close clasping his; then, calm and clear, He heard his father's tender voice, "Yes, laddie, I am here." Like that small child, we sometimes feel That we are in the dark of care; In terror of some harm, we call, " O Father, are You there?" W e reach our hand to Him, and find A blessed answer to our fear; His hand holds ours; we hear His voice, "Fear not, for I am here." So though we tremble in the dark; In need of strength and help and cheer, W e have a tender Father's word, "Fear not, for I am here." then has him teach the Bible lesson to the rest of the children. This has worked out splendidly. Many of the children in the schools where our Bible lessons are used had never heard the gospel message before those courses were introduced.” Mr. and Mrs. Evans have had joy in working with Spanish-speaking people also. J. W . ( ’20) and Mrs. Rodman (Ethel Freberg, ’21) covet the prayers of friends as they look to the Lord for help in Mrs. Rodman’s illness. She is in the Ahwahnee Sanatorium, Ahwahnee, Calif., and would be glad to hear from members o f the Alumni Association. Mr. Rodman is at home with their two boys at 172 Elizabeth St., Turlock, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Rodman were in the Lord’s work at Valle de la Pascua, Venezuela, South America, before their return to California. H. Gordon Hyde, ’31, Polacca, Ariz., has been working with Mr. Byron Adams among the Hopi Indians, and reports that the attendance at the Sunday-school has been increasing. From J. Warren Manning, 1008 Farnam St., Los Angeles, Calif., brother of Frank E. Manning, ’28, o f the Unevangelized Africa Mission, the K ing ’ s B usiness has received copies of “Let’s Trust Jesus More,” a song which points believers to the Lord in prayer and trust. Copies may be secured from the author. Four members o f the Institute family had what they term “an impromptu get- together” some weeks ago. Some in the group had not realized that the others were in Southern California until they met one afternoon in front o f the First Pres byterian Church o f Eagle Rock, Calif. Those who had this opportunity for talk ing over their Institute days were Earl Haney, A. J. Johnson, ’ll, Keith L. Brooks, and Britton Ross.
