In the meantime they are being well fed and cared for by our soldiers. “When he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them” (John 10:4). Arnold R. Jansen ’22 P.

John '19 and Mrs. Remple ’19, are seeing many precious souls accept the Lord each Sunday and during the week through the jail work. The Lord has used them in a marvelous way to present the gospel message in the jails and to the boys between fourteen and eighteen years of age. Most of these boys really mean business and live for the Lord Jesus when they go home. Born To Harold '29 and Mrs. Coen (Ella Penner ’29), a daughter, Mary Ann, March 7, Nigeria, British West Africa.

" And the gospel must first be published among all nations“ ( M k . 13:10). Some of the graduates of ’14 and ’15 held a reunion in the home of Mrs. Tom Colwell (Mary F. Cake ’15), in the form of a potluck dinner on March 3. The occasion that brought a por tion of our Biola family together was the ministry of Dr. Donald Grey Barn- house ’15 in the Church of the Open Door. Among those present were Rev. John H. Hunter, the beloved faculty sponsor for the class of 1915; Mrs. Lyman Stewart, Rev. H a r o l d M. Roberts, Miss Marie Ca r t e r , Miss Florence Pike, Mrs. Mabel Hope, Mrs. Florence Colwell and Dr. Donald G. Barnhouse of the Class of 1915, Miss Mabel Barnhouse ’13, Dr. George L. Hampton ’14, and Mrs. G r a c e P. Roberts ’21. Whittier, Calif. As yet the Lord has not made known His appointed time for her to set sail to this new field. In the meantime Gerry is engaged in deputa tion work with Rev. Tommy Titcombe and Rev. Guy Playfair of this Mission. Ray '34, and Mrs. de la Haye, left these shores on March 5, to return to their African home in the French Niger Colony, French West Africa. They go back with the added support of many new prayer helpers and a renewed desire to be more than ever servants of the world for Jesus’ sake. Janice Bailey ’42, a Cadet nurse in training at the San Joaquin General Hospital, Stockton, Calif., expects to graduate in another year and a half. Knowing that the Lord •is leading, Janice has made no plans as to what she is to do or where she is to serve Him; all has been left in His wise hands.
Barbara Candee ’35, has taken the opportunity to tell the Jews in Pay- son, Ariz., of their living Messiah. In spite of their skepticism they do have a real interest and heart hunger to hear of Christ their Messiah. There are those who accept Him as their personal Saviour regardless of the persecution they may endure because of their new belief. To pray for these brave ones is a privilege. Lawrence '32, and Mrs. Simpson (Helen Hubbard ’30), praise the Lord for their fruitful trip to the coast of Central America, for it was through this that they had the privilege of witnessing at the various plantations, of which there are many. These planta tions are thickly populated and there is but one missionary in all that territory of about 100,000 people, most of whom have not been evangelized. Doll Burkett has become increasingly conscious of the fact that his present service with our armed forces in Belgium is a very definite time of preparation for his future service. Knowing that our prayers are uphold ing him has been a real source of blessing. He asks us to continue in prayer that his comrades may see Christ in his life. On January 15, Geraldine Hamlett ’42, was accepted by the Sudan In terior Mission for service in Nigeria, West Africa. The following day the Lord made possible her full support by the First B r e t h r e n Church of
A short time ago Laura Best ’35, ar rived at the Mission Headquarters in Jos, Nigeria, British West Africa and is working in the office. Just two miles from Jos there are villages steeped in superstition and pagan ism. At the conclusion of a Sunday service held in one of these villages, seven young men expressed their de sire to follow Christ. Living in the midst of indescribable heathenism will no doubt prove a hardship for these young converts. They will need our prayers to help them take a firm stand for Christ. Florence Cisele ’42, praises the Lord for a full recovery from a long illness and the privilege of serving Him at the orphanage in Patzcuaro, Michoa- can, Mexico. The job of “mothering” some of those youngsters has its prob lems, yet watching them grow spiritu ally has proved a real joy to her heart. Riedar M. Kalland ’42, serving the Lord in Southern California thanks Him for the pleasure of working in His vineyard, winning the children to Christ. Children’s evangelistic meet ings with magic, colored pictures, etc., are being conducted by him. He is also taking some work at the Los Angeles Baptist Seminary.
