Harper's Great Jungle Missionary Classics
By INEZ McGAHEY Paul ’51 and Nann (Rolph ’52) Tanner, Baptist Mid-Missions: “We have been having a wonderful time visiting in the States . . . The doctors recommended for us not to return to the mountain regions because’ of the altitude. We plan to return to the costal region of Peru to work with other missionaries. It will mean starting in a new town and fitting in where needed.” Joan Collett ’52, Brazil: “ ‘We would see Jesus’ was the motto chosen by the five young people who received their diplomas from M.B.I. January 20, 1959. Where are the graduates now? One girl has joined our staff and is relieving Jessie of many kitchen responsibilities. The other is work ing in a small town near Cururupu where she expects to open a Christian day school. Two boys are evangelists and the third is the pastor of a church. Following gradu ation, I took time out for some days of fellowship in Belem. Most of that time was spent at the home of Biola classmates who are working with another mission. Those days refreshed me greatly . . . F o r months I have longed that something more definite might be done for the young peo ple of the neighborhood. Now God has permitted that vision to become a reality: we have begun young people’s meetings.” Frances and Wesley ’47 Van Nattan: “ It is hard to believe that our first furlough is almost over, and now we start our treck to New York, from where we leave on September 3 for Africa. News from the field tells us of the need for workers. Nevertheless, the greatest need is for a new spiritual awakening in the hearts of those who have the task of going and tell ing . . . During the summer we shall be visiting many churches as we cross the United States.” Al Mace ’54, Malaya: “ Nine persons recorded decisions for Christ during the recent Alor Gajah Evangelistic Crusade, including five Chinese and four Tamils (Indians) . . . Crowds varied in size from about 30 to 500. Messages in word and song were given by foreign missionaries and national Christians. Gospel films were shown. Mandarin, Hokkien, Tamil, and English were used in a total of 25 meet ings . . . Through a magazine and hospital meetings used of God a 71-year old man was led to Christ at the local T.B. hospital . . . The next time we visited him, another patient was led to Christ . . . The Lord willing, Doris Herd ’56 and I shall be mar ried at Kuala Lumpur, May 5.” Bill and Bethel (France ’25) Webster, Honolulu, Hawaii: “At times the work goes steadily along without striking re sults; then the Lord gives wonderful en couragement. One Sunday aftemon recently we had baptismal services in the sea. One woman who accepted the Lord several years ago came this year asking for baptism. She comes from a Buddhist background, and this is a serious step for her.”

PARSONAGE ROOF (Concluded) the Biblical references she could find relating to the subject of turning aside, or being turned aside to the right or left. Almost without excep tion this sort of activity is condemned in the Scriptures. Israel was com manded not to turn aside to the left or right from the clear and unmistak able commands of Jehovah. Among individuals named in the Bible, Josh ua stands as a monument of obedience to God in his being “ strong and very courageous to do according to all the law; . . . turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that thou mayest prosper (do wisely) whithersoever thou goest” (Josh. 1:7). God made Joshua great for his child-like faith and obedience in this matter. Jesus Christ’s obedience to that pur pose for which He came into the world is the capstone of all example for every believer of any age. In “ set ting (my) face as a flint . . .’ (Is. 50:7) He gave the gift of eternal life to all who will accept. Had He turned to the left or to the right, we would still be in our sins. Christ did not fail us. We dare not fail Him. “ And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left” (2 Kings 22:2). END
