Elmer Sachs ’44 and Eddie Matter ’49, associated in the work of the Sky Pilots of America, God’s new evangel istic strong-arm of the church and com munity, are praising God unceasingly for the way He has blessed and expanded the work of their organization. Mitsuo Fuchida, the converted Japanese com mander, who led the never-to-be-forgot ten attack on Pearl Harbor, has joined the ranks of the Sky Pilots organiza tion, with Japan as his field of opera tions. This is indeed good news; the youth of Japan need just what this group offers in leading the attack against our adversary. Put this work on your prayer list; it is growing in training courageous Christian leaders to head up the home, school, church, com munity and nation by putting Christ at the head. Daniel ’34 and Amy Talas-Schirmer ’36, and family, are traveling through the. east, presenting the need of gospel work among the Indians. They taught in Quakertown, Pa., through the month of July, and will visit Washington, D.C. and New York City, returning to the home base in Birney, Montana, in Sep tember. BIOLA graduates pictured as among those present at the recent field confer ence of the Bolivian Indian Mission held in Cochabamba, were pioneer mission aries George and Gladys Gibson-Ekdahl ’18, Alice Foote ’32, Ruby Miller ’48, and Jack and Sally Hawthorne. Rexford and Grace Weller-Smith ’26, temporarily located at 745 E. Grand Ave., Escondido, Calif., are arranging to remain in the U.S., owing to compli cations concerning residence permits re quired by the Mexican Government. Theirs is a busy life, and profitable in the winning of souls, despite the illness of their 22-year-old son, Rex, Jr., who suffered a birth-injury that largely in capacitates him from physical activity. Their daughter, Faith, received two wonderful scholarships upon her grad uation this spring, thus enabling her to go ahead in her nurse’s training pro gram which will prepare her for service on the mission field. The ladies at Los Gatos Baptist Church gave her a lovely shower of things she will need for her training. “ Boys’ Brigade work,” writes Fred Whale, Box 124, Jos, N.P., N. Nigeria, “ last quarter was marked by a succes sion of Officers’ Training Courses. This quarter is the camping quarter. In two months five Bible Camps were held, eleven missionaries helped, and a total of 496 boys attended. This is strenuous work, but valuable in that we get close to the boy, and guide the officer in his leadership training. Frustration and dis appointments enter into all our work here, some caused by the primitive con ditions, long distances, inefficient equip ment, delays in the mails and some through the backward mentality of the people.” Arthur and Mary Louise Bushnell- Bakker, Cucuta, Colombia, have all en- Page Twenty-two
ator for a number of years, has taken a position with Forest Lawn Cemetery organization. She is greatly missed at BIOLA. Levi Olson, Superintendent of Men for the past six years, has taken a pastorate in the Evangelical Free Church at Des Moines, Iowa. He and his family will make their home at 527 E. Sheridan Ave., Des Moines. May the Lord abundantly bless his ministry is the prayer of many friends at BIOLA. Let us now greet Mr. Olson’s successor, Al Sanders ’49, whom we are glad to welcome back to these halls of learning. Al and Margaret (Bascom ’48) are not unknown to a wide circle of friends who have heard of them through the Bible Institute broadcasts. Margaret is a gifted organist, and we shall doubtless hear of her activity in the Lord’s work. At a very quiet informal wedding Betty Prose ’39 and George Hamilton exchanged vows and were pronounced by the officiating clergyman as husband and wife. Following a short air tour, they went to Indiana where George is closing up his business affairs enabling them to return to California to make their future home. Betty is truly one of BIOLA’s own girls, having been em ployed at the first-floor information desk for a number of years, and later was given charge of the mimeograph department. Friends at the Institute are legion, and all wish this happy couple the very best of everything in the blessing of God upon their home.

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth ” (Isa. b5:2).
joyed their first real vacation trip to Bucaramanga, and guess, what? The stork arrived while they were there, bringing their fifth child, Benjamin! They are all thrilled over his arrival, and also over the packages from New Jersey and California, shirts and diapers just in the nick of time. Says Arthur, “ Wesley said, ‘When the Lord sends another mouth to feed, He always sends another loaf of bread.’ That sounds pretty good for the Bakkers.” They report that Becky is much im proved and there are no more signs of her former rheumatic condition. The Piersons, Floyd and Amy, now on furlough at 606 Irving Ave., Wheaton, 111., write from their field (Congo Beige) of a recent conference of some six or seven thousand natives from various tribes at Adi. It “was astound ing to two of our young men who had never before been far from home or out of their own tribe. The trip was an experience in itself, and to be in the midst of such a crowd was an eye- opener to them. It was an inspiration to us as well. Looking back some thirty years, we praise God for what He has wrought. More than one of the powerful native preachers were little boys in the primer class when we arrived in Congo, and several were in our own classes.” Betty Allen, late advertising manager of The King’s Business, currently on a practical missionary training trip, writes from Majagua, Cuba: “We have been in Cuba a little over a month now and have had a wealth of experiences. I have learned to love Cuba, and the Cubans. ‘Muy hermosa! Muy bonital’ have been our favorite expressions as we have seen the beauty of Cuba. The gracefulness of the palm trees, the love liness of the flowers and the breath taking beauty of the sky are beyond description. The Cubans are lovable people. Each one of them seems to work his way into your heart. Patience, cour tesy and hospitality are the qualities which best describe them.” Gertrude (Trudy) Cutler ’49, beloved by all with whom she came in contact, has been called to her home in Oregon to care for her father, who is in failing health.
