souls have been won for the Lord. She asks for our prayers for herself and the work. Harry O. Anderson, ’ 15, writes of his work for next winter, seventh season in evangelistic service: "We will open our next year’s work at Wellington, Kansas. We have a very promising schedule ahead of us and we look for a great year of harvest of souls. We will return to two fields previously ser ved. We count it a great honor and compliment to be invited back.” Mr. Anderson asks us to pray for him and his party. He suggests that we keep the following dates for the prayer list: Sept. 5 to Oct. 3, Wellington, Kan. Oct. 10 to Nov. 7, Spencer, Iowa. Nov. 14 to Dec. 12, Oelwein, Iowa. Jan. 2 to Jan. 30, Selma, Calif. (Tentative). Feb. 2 to Feb. 20, Placentia, Calif. Feb. 27 to Mar. 27, Open. Apr. 3 to May 1, Missouri Valley, Iowa. May 8 to June 5, Open. Rev. and Mrs. Franklin G. Haling, ’ 19, now of the First Trinity Baptist Church, Salt Lake City, Utah, spent their vacation in and near Los Angeles during the month of August. Mr. and Mrs. Huling have recently learned to play cornet-trumpets and these add much to the enthusiasm of their Sun day night' song service. Mr. Huling came to the pastorate of the Imman uel Baptist Church of Salt Lake in June, 1924. Modernism was rampant in the Church and State Convention and a few self-appointed individuals ran them both. The church stood with Mr. Huling 2 to 1 for the Word of God and democracy in church govern ment. The Modernists and their sym pathisers on May 20, 1925, seized the church building by force and held it by armed guards. Rather than under take a long and uncertain court battle Mr. Huling and those standing with him organized- a new church and have now purchased the former Unitarian
land, I t a ly , Turkey, Palestine and Egypt, and is looking forward to being in Bethlehem for Christmas. He can be addressed c/o H.

Shaffer, ’ 21, now em ployed as Church Clerk and Visitor of the First Baptist Church, San Diego, California, writes appreciatively of the
Mrs. MeAnils "havin’ her ‘pitchur* took” rained and Easter morning heavy black storm clouds hung low as if to put a wet blanket on all our plans. A b we gathered at nine o’clock at the edge of the river, which had swollen considerably, it began to sprinkle very lightly. After we had sung three or four hymns I gave a short message on the meaning of baptism after which the five candidates were baptized. “ After the baptisms the believers gathered in the church to celebrate the Lord’s Supper. It was a time of real spiritual blessing. Then at night we all gathered together again, . . . Mr. Scherer giving the message on the resurrection.” — o— Byron P. Adams, one of our recent students, writes under date of July 28th of activities on the Hopi Indian Reservation during the month of July. With Mrs. Adams and his brother Robert and wife, they are engaged in a most profitable work in this needy field. “ Pray that all our needs be sup plied. Just to quote an incident: on July 11th, 1926, a party of students from the Bible Institute of Los An geles had a picnic, and I was in the party. We had Japanese rice cakes in which were enclosed printed slips, supposedly telling fortunes. Japan is not a Christian nation, yet in my cake the slip contained: ‘The Lord will support you in a good cause.’ I pasted this slip in my pocket Bible. When Dr. Tucker and his evangelistic band met with us to complete our mission ary arrangements one of the young ladies was appointed to select a verse from the Book as a Life Pillar of our great work. The verse selected was Phil. 4:19— ‘But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’ Praise Him! If we ALL PRAY the needs will be supplied.”

Huinca, Renanco, Argentine, South America, has been out for several weeks going from town to town with the Bible Coach scattering the Word of Life. Ex cerpts from a very interesting letter of his were published in the Calendar of the First Brethren Church, Long B each , California. He says this: “ There is wonderful satisfaction in .having the privilege of placing the Word of God in the hands of these priest-ridden people. Many are open to conviction and are longing for more light. Thank God we have it to give.” Clara Kuehny, ’ 20, writes from Jan- Jgir, C. P., India, of her work in that country. She speaks of reading The King’s Business and of appreciating the insight it gives into American life and customs, and the news it gives of Bible Institute friends. She spen t some six weeks during the hot season in Kashmir, the garden spot of India. Her school cares for ninety girls. Im provements are being made that will make the work easier and more profit able. She tells that the material bless- ings are many, but that so far so few
