a thousand deaths in a district not over 20 miles from here where the malaria is raging. The father and mother, of one of our Christians both died in the same week.' Of- all this)-thousand who. died thesè two were more than likely the Only ones who were believers.” MR. and MRS. LeROY DUDROW, ’22 (nee.

It is airy, light, built ori .simple lines, large enough to in vite the non-christian and located by the side of the road where many people pass, May the Lord make it a place of bless ing to many... . . I went to meet MR. and MRS. J. R. DUERKSEN, (’21 and T9), who landed in Bombay, November 15th, and are how located at Korba for- lan guage study. You probably remember CHRISTINA HARDER.

: R eport of S tudents ’ L eague At a recent meeting of the Student Association, MR. HERBERT CASSEL brought a very interesting report of the annual conference of the League of Evan gelical Students in St. Louis, Missouri, the latter part of November. This League is a group of Christian students with branches in about forty different theolog ical seminaries, Bible schools, colleges and universities. It wasi started a year and a half ago to unite (evangelically minded students everywhere in a còmmon corpor ate witness to Jesus Christ as God’s only begotten son and man’s only Saviour. The Bible Institute of Los Angeles is happy in its relationship' to the League, having one of the branches in our student body. D orothy C ampbell in C hina DOROTHY M. CAMPBELL, ’26, Swatow, China, is working under the American Baptist Foreign Mission So ciety.' Her brother DAVID CAMPBELL, ’24, is connected with the China Inland Mission, and is. now at Anking, Anhwei, China. Dorothy and David come from a “missionary family,” so are now returning to tell the “good news.” “Missionary Mis sives” publishes an interesting letter from Dorothy, telling of her departure from America, and entrance into China, and we quote two paragraphs : “With the first streak of dawn the next day, Miss Sollman , ahd I were up. We watched the most beautiful sunrise up out of the sea. For about one and a half hours we passed by lovely rock islands, through the Channel and then past Double Island, where I could clearly ;see the house' in which my cousins Zell was born. Be fore we turned to go into quarantine (be cause of the cholera in Shanghai) we were close enough to Kak-chieh to see an American flag waving from thè Ash more house, and could see the roof of the house in which I was born. “Later,- as we neared the docksjSjwe espied the bobbing san-pan, which held those of our missionaries and friends who had come out to meet us. It seemed so good to see them, two of them I had known well as a child and the names of the others were familiar. You can imag ine the exclamations as we sized each other up and recalled old resemblances.” —o— B. I. M en W ith A. S. U.
