to see them as they were among the first garduates from this department. Their pres ent address is 919 South Burlington Avenue, Los Angeles. They are staying on the Pacific Coast sever al months until Mrs. Van : Dusen recovers from a minor operation which she has ju st passed through. They need our prayers and fellowship. May God’s best be theirs in these weeks of rest. They will be speaking later in the evening school and at other services. Miss Frances L. Downs, ’24, now of the C. I. M., Shanghai, China, writes under date of September 18th, “Thank you so much for fre quent letters. I do appreciate your constant prayers for me and am sure the Lord is graciously answering at this end. “I have ju st gotten out of the hospital, where I have been with severe boils in my ears. I am still deaf, but the doctor assures me this will not be permanent, and indeed they are beginning to improve. They have troubled me ever since July, and it is a relief to be free from pain. However, the Lord has been very near and precious through it all. It must be good to have our dear Dr. Maclnnis a t the head of things a t the B. I. and I am sure the Lord will greatly bless as in the past. “I saw Hugh Foucar when he arrived, but he was so excited at being back he could give me no news. When the Kellers arrived I was in the hospital so missed them. Was still in the hospital when Mary Chen came, so lost the pleasure of welcoming her. It was such a disappointment after looking forward to it for a year. Expect to see her in January. Every little bit of news from B. I. is eagerly watched for and most wel come.” A lady frien d o f th e In stitu te writes under date of September 23rd, “I had a feast a t the Montrose Bible conference this summer. Among others whom I heard and enjoyed there, was Dr. John M. Maclnnis, your Dean. I took my King’s Business with me and show ed it to everyone I could and herewith hand you ten names to whom I ask you to send samples.” FISHERMEN’S CLUB The annual election of officers took place Monday, September 28th, and they were in stalled October 5th by Mr. T. C. Horton. Mr. Horton is now teaching the Book of Romans to the Club, with his old time vim and con viction. The interest in this wonderful club of Christian young men never lags. The a t tendance never falls off, and the enthusiasm is spontaneous and catching. Come and see. A new Fishermen’s Club has ju st been or ganized in Pasadena, meeting in Lincoln Ave. Presbyterian Church. STUDENT MISSIONARY UNION Mr. Young, one. of our new students, was the speaker at our first Student Missionary Union meeting for the school year 1925-1926. He comes from Burma and has been working ju st across the border from Tibet; chiefly among two main tribes, some of whom are head hunters. All these people are very superstitious and have a great dread of evil spirits. But they are also very open to the preaching of the ' Gospel on account of their traditions. Their story of the creation is the same as th at in Genesis. They believe th at the Word of God was given to them at one time but was lost and th at some day it was to be brought back to them by men who should come from the great blue water with a book for them. On this account they eager ly receive the foreigner and his story of Christ. The first tour of the missionaries was made among these people in 1922* and they were waiting and eager for the white man to come and teach them. There were over two thousand conversions in one year. The work there was hindered for a while but now is being carried on again and the wild people are coming in by the thousands. What

Miss N ina H utton, ’24, organized a system of home classes and taught several Bible classes in Port Worth, Texas, last year. She is now teaching Bible in the high schools of Chattanooga, Tenn. Our old friend, Gordon E . H ooker, whose ability as a musician is so well known and appreciated in B. I. and Los Angeles; and his good wife, nee Miss Martha Smith, a former B. I. girl, are back in Los Angeles, after a year spent at John Brown University, Sulphur Springs, Arkansas, where they were both teaching. Mr. Hooker has ju st completed the com position of an elaborate piano duet arranged from "I Know Whom I Have Believed.” His new Gospel song compositions are now appear ing in new song books.
