GLIMPSES INTO H APPY HOMES OF BIOLA FRIENDS (S ee O pposite P age )
W herever homes are dedicated to God, there Christ is honored and true Christian joy abounds. The chil dren and the family groups pictured on the opposite page are representative o f the hundreds of homes in the widening fellow ship of former students of the Bible Insti tute o f Los Angeles. Happy Christian homes, established by friends of Biola, may be found in almost every country of the world. On foreign mission fields or in preparation for such service, in pastoral or other special witnessing for Christ, and in so-called “secular” work which is a spirit ual service because it is done as unto the .Lord, members o f the Bible Institute cir cle are earnestly desirous that their homes may be a testimony of the Lord’s grace and love. And the bright faces o f the boys and girls testify to the fulfillment o f that desire. As the month of May centers thought upon the subject o f the Christian home, may there be much prayer for both parents and Children in the hundreds of Institute homes, that the world may be given evidence of the power o f the living Lord. Friends of the former students whose homes are represented may find new in formation in the following facts-: 1. Carl H. Wintersteen snapped this picture o f Mrs. Wintersteen (Ellen V. Hoffman, ’20) and their two children, Mel vin, age 18 months, and Elna, age 5, shortly before the family left Bolivia for their furlough about nine months ago. The family were on their way to hold Sunday- school in an Indian village. Mr. and Mrs. Wintersteen are with the Bolivian Indian Mission and have been living in Los An geles. 2. Mrs. Earle L. Ferris (Kathryn C. Smith, ’30) and Carol Ann (at present six ,months old) live in Pasadena, Calif., where Dr. Ferris is an optometrist. The photograph is by A. E. Arnold, Pasadena. 3. Ernest E. ( ’24) and Mrs. Nichols (Hope M. Hepburne, ’25)' and their two sons, Norman Robert, age 2, and Paul Ernest, age 6, are living in Torrance, Calif., where Mr. Nichols is now in his third year in the pastorate of the Keystone Baptist Church. A number o f Institute graduates have helped recently in special services at the church. 4. Virginia Jackson, age 6, is caring for Marjorie Janet, age 9 months. They are daughters of George W . ( ’25) and Mrs. Jackson (Agnes Hosie, ’26). The sister of Virginia and Marjorie Janet is pic tured elsewhere on the page (No. 8). Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and their family are living in Los Angeles, where Mr. Jackson is serving as General Secretary of the Orinoco River Mission. 5. W . F. ( ’29) and Mrs. Templin (Es ther Kliewer) and their two-year-old son, David William, are living in Vaughnsville, Ohio, where Mr. Templin is ministering to
a church of some 250 people. Mr. and Mrs. Templin are rejoicing in the Lord’s leading in the work of the church. 6. The family of Charles A. and Mrs. Roberts (Grace M. Pike, ’21) are mem bers o f the Bible Institute circle in a spe cial way, for both Mr. and Mrs. Roberts are engaged in the work of the Hunan Bi ble Institute, the China department o f the Bible Institute o f Los Angeles, located in Changsha, Hunan, China. 7. Harold Amstutz, Jr., now sixteen months old, may soon be brightening a missionary home in Africa, if the Lord so. wills, for his parents, Harold D. ( ’29) and Mrs, Amstutz (Janet Yeths, ’32), are ac cepted candidates of the Africa Inland Mission and are eager to be thrust forth into that field as soon as the Lord opens the way. Mr. and Mrsi Amstutz live in Los Angeles, Calif. 8. Gwendolyn Jackson, age 5, is one of the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Jackson. 9 .

A year later, January 6, 1935, just a month after the return o f the family to America for their furlough, David went to be with the Lord. Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon are under the Brethren Board of Foreign Missions and have been living in La Verne, Calif. 11.

Mr. and Mrs. Fuller have been greatly disappointed to receive word that Mrs. Fuller’s health will not permit their return to Venezuela for the present, at least. They have been much encouraged by the Lord’s leading in open ing another door for Spanish work. They have been hoping to leave for this service, a faith work in the Coachella Valley, Calif., by about May 1. 12 . L.
