Sympa thies to Alicia DeLeon ’43, in the death of her mother, Chole DeLeon, in a Mex ico City hospital on November 7, follow ing an illness of several weeks. She was a valued worker on the staff of the Mexican Indian Mission for over four years, and a winner of souls before her association with this mission. R. M. and Esther Ender-Chrisman ’27, are serving the Lord in a new way in Siam by broadcasting over the Far East Broad casting Co., from Manila. It is estimated that there are 100,000 radios in Siam capable of picking up this program, which is probably the very first Chris tian gospel message to go out over that area. Rexford ’27 and Grace Weller-Smith ’21, are now working among the Span- ish-Americans in Monterrey, Mex. They have spent many years in the Mexican districts of Southern California. Rex is doing translation work. Grace will be a true help-meet in this work, as she was a capable secretary to Dr. R. A. Torrey during training days at Biola. Lorraine Fleischman ’47, also a grad uate of the University of California, has been teaching school at Orland, Calif. She has been accepted under the CBFMS to go to Japan, a needy field calling constantly for more missionaries. Elsie Jean Vtterback ’47 is numbered among Biolans now serving in Japan. Biola Family Circle and fellow-students extend sincere sympathy to the George Geftakys family in the death of their little nine-month-old son, Daniel George. They have treasure in Heaven; the Lord is comforting their hearts so torn by the separation. Allyn B. Cooke ’18, Esther Cooke and their three children Grace, Leila and John, have gone to their new field. Allyn states: “ As we go forth to a new land and as the door swings open into Thailand we feel that we are only obeying God’s call which was given in the beginning.” Howa/rd and Ruth Zimmerman-Gould ’35, and their daugh ter Betsy are at home on furlough. Ruth has been on the staff of the Bible Insti tute in Guatemala for sixteen years, under the Central America Mission.

Bill and Marjorie Nyman, Apt. 2975, Mexico City, are praising the Lord that scores of people, even whole villages, are coming to know the Lord as their Saviour. BiM has been investigating two tribes whose languages still need trans lations . . . while Marjorie has been helping teach Otomi Indians to read their newly-translated Scriptures in their own tongue. The Nymans ask prayer for these Otomi believers who not only undergo much persecution, but whose land has had no rain for eight years, resulting in crop-failures, illness and starvation. Newton A. and Doris Blackwell-Kapp ’81, are in Ventnor, N. J., preparing to return to Nigeria where they have been in missionary service for a number of years. They took their daughters, Doris Jeannette and Pauline, to the Hampden DuBose Academy in Zellwood, Fla. There was real need for a Jeep which has been supplied in a most unusual way. Altig Day! Yes, all 17 of the Altigs had a field day at Temple City Church on October 28. Rev. Leo Polman ’22, ’27, took a day off and invited the whole Altig family to take over. This they did in fine style with Dr. Francis Altig ’28, acting as M.C. There was a varied mu sical program of vocal and instrumental nature which delighted the hearts of the congregation. The quartet was com posed of Father Altig and his three sons (all doctors), Francis, Kenneth ’32, and Ward ’27! Keith ’32 (twin brother to Kenneth), evidently had to remain at his post as a pioneer missionary to Brazil. Margaret Horton-Morgan announces the appointment of G. Raymond White, former pastor of the United Presby terian Church at Oakland, as director of the activities of Horton Hall at 2620 Bancroft Way, Berkeley 4. Mr. White rendered invaluable assistance to the University Christian Fellowship and Bible League during the long illness and death of V. V. Morgan ’13. It is quite natural that he should be called into this post of great usefulness in Bible teaching and counseling with stu dents. Alumni have underwritten a por tion of the support of him whom they affectionately call “Pop” White. Ida Van Riter '41, destined for China originally before the closing of that great land to missionary effort, is now at Drexler University, Philadelphia, working for her master’s degree in dietetics. Ida lived at Horton Hall, and taught Bible classes while attending the University. Reluctant farewells have been said to Eileen Arp, seven years employed in Biola general office, who has resigned to enter another field of service, and to Cicely Willcocks ’39, twenty-four years a valued assistant in the circulation de partment of The King’s Business. Cicely is now church secretary for the West Adams Baptist Church, 4500 West Adams Blvd., Los Angeles 16. Hazel McCabe ’43, Heidelberg, Ky., is teaching ten Bible classes weekly in the rural schools, three of which are taught Page Fourteen

in two days, in such inaccessible areas that it requires 5 to 7% hours on horse back to reach them. To the others she travels by Model A. Hazel is conducting two Sunday schools, and working on a third where there is little interest as they never have had a Sunday school and do not feel the need of it. Hazel has just been added to the list of 106 missionaries supported by the Church of the Open Door. Earl Barbour ’35 is college librarian at Rockmont College in Denver. He is happy over receiving some gifts of books from the Joshua Gravett library upon his retirement from the pulpit which he had occupied for many years. This reminds us that some of our Biola alumni may have books which their alma mater would be glad to catalogue for the use of students. Earl is a graduate of Denver University with the degree of M.A., majoring in library science. Ella Berg ’45, on the teaching faculty of Grace Bible Institute, Omaha, writes of the highway accident of the Paul Kuhlman (’35) family in which Paul was seriously injured and his young son, David, 14, and his mother lost their lives. Mrs. Kuhlman (Helene Schroeder ’34) was so seriously injured that she was hospitalized for a number of weeks. Biola Family extend heartfelt sympathy to this stricken family. Paul is dean of Grace Bible Institute. Elmer ’47 and Gloria Johnson-Fricke ’42, Kalyandrug, S. India, are praising God for four young high caste men in an adjoining village who are manifest ing a keen interest in the gospel mes sage. The members of a tiny mud church found their building too small, so they set themselves to the task of making brick (20,000 of them), and then built the walls. The pastor and all the Christians gave freely of their time and substance; now they are looking to the Lord for a roof to complete the building. Biola Flashes Edward P. Carragher ’50 is the newly chosen pastor of the Elysian Park Bap tist Church, 2641 Partridge Ave., Los Angeles 26. John F. Wuthrich ’43, B.Th.,
