P INKERTON ) has written an interest ing letter to Mrs. C. B. Whitwell, excerpts from which are quoted. “It was on Au gust 24, 1926, that my ‘Prince Charming’ led me aboard ship to sail with him in obedience to our Master’s call. What won derful experiences followed— the joy of new scenes, of strange ports and peoples of the orient, .and of being introduced to life in the tropics 1 God has given us two darling children. Oliver Gordon will be three in August and Helen is eighteen months old. In addition to their care, I at tempt to teach a Sunday-school class, be sides daily classes in music, English, and hand-work for girls in the mission school. My husband’s father and mother were in Kengtung, Burma, for sixteen years. F'rom there they opened a work across the border in China among the Lahus and Wa. The traditions of the people, like those of the Karens of Lower Burma, state that the white man, bearing the true book and the true law, would some day come; and that, when he came, the people must destroy their evil spirit altars and receive the new religion which would give them life and peace through Jesus Christ. Large delegations from these sections went to the missionary, my husband’s father, begging him to show them the new and living way. In 1920 the mission was established, and the laborers have had the great joy of reaping a harvest of about 30,000 souls. After the Gospel was preached, there were great mass move ments for Christ.” M IN A SEPTER, ’20, has about sev enty pupils in her classes in Acacio, Bo livia, where she serves as a missionary of the Bolivian Indian Mission. GRACE MOTT, 23, writes from War saw, Poland: “W e have undertaken a work among Jewish women and children in this great Jewish center. W e praise God for the privilege of serving Him in this needy land. One of our handicaps is the lack of suitable printed stories, songs, etc.” MR. and MRS. ALLAN McINTOSH (MARJOR IE PHA IR ) write from Mise- write from Miseberi, Ituro, Congo Beige, beri, Ituro, Congo Beige, A frica: “It was with great joy that we left our two-room mud house and moved into a new and larger home, made of sun- dried brick. In connection with our new home there are two items for praise. A friend sent us some cretonne to cover our packing box furniture. This was over a year in transit, having been sent to the wrong address. Just when we needed it most, the package arrived the night before we moved into the new house! The sec ond item for praise concerns our need of lumber. W e had not been able to secure boards for doors and windows, and so we made this need a definite subject for prayer. Last week there were delivered to us a hundred well dried boards 1 How wonderful it is to have a God who cares for every minute detail!’’
The faculty report of the Nanking The ological Seminary, Nanking, China, states that “M ISS HELEN SKILLING , secre tary and acting treasurer, is about to sever her connection with' this institution in order to go into evangelistic work. In ad dition to her duties in the office, Miss Skilling taught English and music. To mention the amount of service rendered, without calling attention to the. quality of that service, is to omit an important char acteristic of her contribution to the Sem inary. There is consolation in the fact that although she leaves us, she will not be lost to the cause of Christ in China.” GW ENDOLYNE COLLING, a former student in the Evening School, stopped at the Institute on her way to Fresno, Calif., where she is to be assistant to Rev. C. L, Trawin, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Miss Colling was for nine years personal secretary to Dr. J. C. Massee, of Tremont Temple, Boston.

M ITCHELL, ’21, pastor, of the First Baptist Church, Paso Robles, Calif., has organized a fundamental and inter denominational work at Atascadero, Calif., known as the Church of the Living Word.

He is scheduled for meetings in El Centro, Fullerton, and Fresno, Calif., and in Chi cago, Illinois. He has one open date, Jan uary 11 to 26. Any one wishing to com municate with Mr. Anderson may reach him at 717 West San Marino Avenue, A l hambra, California.

TRANSCHELL has ac cepted a call to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church, Oxnard, Calif., to succeed R. E. ROLENS, ’22, P.G. ’23. Under date of August 23, 1930, EU GENE A. CRAPUCHETTES, ’28, P.G. ’29, writes from a station of the China Inland Mission, TsUnyi, Kwei., China, to which he has been appointed. He gives a vivid account of his journey from Anking to this place. He traveled up the Yangtze River as far as Chungking. The remain der of the trip, requiring ten days, was made by coolie portage.
Just to let thy Father do What He will; Just to know that He is true, And be still; Just to trust Him, this is all 1 Then the day will surely be Peaceful, whatsoe’er befall, Bright and blessed, calm and free. — F r a n ce s R id ley H avergal .
