Roy L. Stone, ’26, E. S., 4207 Brighton Avenue, Eos Anggles, is a teacher of photography at the local Susan Dorsey 'High School. He did special work for Witzel’s Studios this summer. Since leaving the Institute, Mr. Stone com pleted requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree, at Santa Barbara State College, and is now working toward a Master’s degree at Pomona College. He is active in the work of the Ather ton Baptist Church, having t a u g h t adult and young people’s classes and been superintendent of the Sunday- school. Mr. and Mrs. Stone have three children: two boys, fifteen and twelve years old, and a daughter, eight. Mrs. R. F. Kahle (Mary-Pearl Rein- hard, ’36), 4052 Herschel Ave., Dallas, Texas, has received word of the Home going of her mother, Mrs. A. H. Rein- hard, in Shanghai, China. The State Department-made undated, official re port of her passing. Earlier, both Mr. and Mrs. Reinhard were reported very low in health. Pray that the Lord’s grace, for husband and daughter, may be abundant On Foreign Fields Henry A. (’23) and Mrs. Senff are working among the pygmies of Watsa, Congo Beige, Africa. When the pyg mies are invited into the missionaries’ home, they are filled with amazement, and a radio is a constant cause for speechlessness. Likewise many of these people have a great fear of medicine and need to become will ing to go to a Christian doctor when ill. This is a special matter for your prayers. Miss Mary Bishop, ’25,%vho has re turned from Guatemala City, Central America, tells of an American soldier receiving Christ as the result of at tending a preaching service conducted by one of the senior missionaries. He is now a bright, happy Christian. More sincere prayer on the part of God’s people will result in the duplication of this happy scene around the world. A cause for great rejoicing and praise is the safe arrival of Charles W. (’36) and Mrs. Olvey, and Don and Mrs. Turner (Faith Hollingsworth, ’ 21 ), accompanied by two children, at their respective' mission stations in Venezuela, S. America. For both par ties it meant a thrilling air trip over land and sea to the place of His ap pointment. Pray for a permanent and adequate building for the school and home of George H. (’18) and Mrs. Ekdahl (Gladys Gibson, ’19) who are located in Capinota, S. America. The mission aries’ children had a narrow escape when the roof of the bedrooms fell in, just a short time after the children had left them. Praise the Lord for their' deliverance.
