SHARING THE JOY OF THE LORD • Traveling approximately 1,000 miles during the spring vacation at Biola, beginning March 15, the Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs filled a total of twenty-eight engagements in cities and towns be tween Fresno and San Diego. The twenty-six young women, with t h e i r director, Herbert G. Tovey, and other helpers, took the northerly route, and were enthusiastically welcomed into churches and homes of former Institute students and other friends. The members of the Men’s Glee Club, with John B. Trowbridge, their director, and Elmer Baer, another member of the Institute music de partment, r e s p o n d e d to invitations from John Brown Military Academy, Imperial Valley High School, El Centro High School, Brawley Women’s Club, and a prison camp at Banning, besides nu merous churches and Bible classes. The tours offered td the singers the opportu nity of giving their testimony in music and in personal witnessing. Tracts were distributed prayer fully, and from this ministry alone, five earnest inquiries were received. Only eternity can reveal the full results of these days of joyful privilege.
