T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S of getting any more because of the op position of the chiefs, but we started to pray and asked others to pray for more boys. W e now have twenty-five enrolled and are continuing to pray for more. W ith the prayer for more boys we are Pts-ying that we may be able to buy sufficient food to eare for them through the dry season which begins in a few weeks and lasts about four months. Tw o new out- schools w ill be opened next week, one four miles away, the other eighteen miles. I w ill also add that Baby John Livingston Gee came to live with us August 27th and we love him very much. You can guess why we named him ‘Livingston’.” John W . Dunlop, ’15, writes from the Philippines: “W e are now at Baguio nearly 5,000 feet above the sea, among the pines. W e have had a glorious vacation, and it has done us all good both in body and soul. . . . As far as we know all our missionaries are true to the W ord o f God, and our prayer, is that by the grace of God those who are sent to us may be sent of God.” Charles R. Osburn, ’20, writes of the w ork of Kakaako Mission, Honolulu: We are planning to start a new method of w ork and would like your prayers. We expect to divide our territory into three parts and if money, w orkers and strength are" provided, to have one session like a Daily Vacation Bible School fo r each di vision one afternoon each' week and run it righ t through the year. We believe it w ill be - a good method of w orking and ask your prayers for the Lord s guidance and blessing, or restraint if that is best. Jav Davis, ’19, writes from Beersheba, Palestine: “W e have a fairly good stone building fo r a home. We also have a small new stone church which seats abopt a hundred. It is fairly w ell filled Sunday morning. Our services are of course in Arabic. W e have a school for boys in Beersheba. There are about thirty boyisin it and Peter, our native teacher, teaches them I also teach eight of the large boys. I teach English daily and try always to give them a Bible lesson with it. My time is used mostly in the study of the which is considered one of the hardest laneruaeres.” ^ , , ¡ 5 ....|l!l|(lllHlllHIIIIIIHIIH«milllllUIIHIlllHimillillHHHIliHMII»Hlltlllll1IIHIimUtlllMlllllinill^ 1 A L A N P E A R C E . | Dips H is Pen | Members of the Alumni:

spiritual life is very low. Unitarianism, Congregationalism , which up here is sometimes a close brother of Unitarianism, Christian Science and many other creeds and isms that dish out spiritual poison are found here. The people in our church have been revived in some special m eet ings. I have now been here fo r three Sundays. A t every service, except one evening service, the people have crowded the church and many have stood. I am de lighted but at the same time I feel my weakness and the greater responsibility with the larger task. X covet your pray ers. I am still preaching the old Gospel to the best of my ability.” Harry O. Anderson, ’15, writes concern ing his evangelistic work as fo llow s: “The work of Evangelism is very fascinating. Any young man called to labor in the ‘fields white unto harvest’ is fortunate. Being blessed and being a blessing is a great experience.* During February and Marcff we were engaged in special meet ings at Clovis and Waterford, California. Our efforts (at Clovis) met with signal success. It was indeed a campaign blessed of God. The cottage prayer meetings lit erally prayed a revival down from heaven. As a result an entire Catholic fam ily were swept into the kingdom . Many fam ily altars have been restored and there is hap piness supreme in many hearts;” . Frank J. R igg, ’20, writes from V al paraiso, Chile: "W e are all happy in the service of the Lord here in this part of His vineyard and truly the laborers are few who w ill really preach the true Gos pel once delivered to the saints. Pray for us that we may be as clay in the potter’s hand for our Master that He may use us.” Mrs. Betty Pierson McKenrick writes from Githumu, Chania Bridge, K en ya'C ol- ony, A frica, saying: “ Our native Chris tians are being sorely tried. The enemy is surely busy, realizing that his time is gettin g short. It is also a time of special testing for most of us white workers. We do long to be used for His glory daily— the time is so short in which to preach the Gospel to every creature. As you re member us in prayer, ask for the Lord’s will to be done concerning a furlough for us and for all needs to be supplied if it is His w ill fo r us to go now.” George A. McGee, ’ 18, Yangarakata, Congo Beige, w rites: “It is now about a year and six months since arriving on the field and a little less since getting to work on my station. I must say that it is great to be where the Lord has called. I can also say that He kept me unsatisfied and look in g towards A frica until I was actually on my way, and I praise Him for it all. W e pray continually that God w ill call many from that fine large student body which we have heard entered the Institute last fall. Just tell them that the parish is big and that there is room for one hundred or as many as God calls. For instance, we have a parish about twenty-five miles in almost every direc tion, and we do not know how many peo ple live in it.” Mrs. Wm. J. Gee (nee Goldie Barman), '17, writes from Moldisa, Congo Beige: “The Lord has been w orking in answer to prayer. A few months ago we had eight boys on the station, with little prospects
