No charge or obligation. Am erican Sunday-School U n i o n 1816 C h estn u t S treet, Philadelphia, P a. Dick Hillis, ’32, a member of the C. I. M. group of new missionaries who sailed this fall, writes, while aboard the “Empress of Canada” : “We v i s i t e d some of the places of worship in Tokio and Kama kura. We saw worshipers bowing down before idols of bronze and stone, and saw them pray to gods without eyes. We saw them pay their money to gods who could not atone for sin, and then arise and go away with no answer, no peace, no change of countenance, no hope for the future. Countless millions are daily doing that. Did not Christ love them? Is not the pardon of the cross for them ? ' Should not the great need be God’s call to us to go? How could I dare stay at home? Shame on me, that I should have ever been unwilling to go ! I pray that many might see the need, heed the command, and go out into these great white harvest fields for the Master, willing to become naught that God might be all in all.” Mr. Hillis and Edwin Cory,_ ’33, will study at the China Inland Mission Training Home, Kiangtu, Kiangsu, China. A. P. Uhlinger, ’16, serving under the Africa Inland Mission, encountered some interesting experiences, with various tribes, including pygmies, on a recent trek. He writes: “I was away five weeks, tramping 470 miles—my hardest tramp in Africa. God graciously cared for Mrs. Uhlinger (Birdie De Hoog, T6) and the children, who were alone during that time. They had no fear. We had the privilege of preaching to many people. Pygmies, who know only hunting and the ways of the forest, and nothing about God, heard the Word. We slept one night in a camp with about 500 pygmies, under a shed thatched with leaves, on beds of sticks, mud under neath, and forest all around. Here we experienced also an answer to the ques tion, ‘Can God furnish a table in the wil derness?’ (Psa. 78:19). We needed fresh meat, and the pygmies brought in two small antelopes. Chickens, eggs, rice, and peanuts were provided as needed.” The Student Missionary Union recently received a joint letter from Mabel A. Ax- worthy, ’32, and Raymond G. Chandler, ’32, serving the Lord in Korea, in response to a gift of money sent to them. Mr. Chandler writes, in part: “A call came for a worker in a heathen village. A good evangelist was available in Pyenghang, but there was no money with which to send him. This is the purpose for which your contribution has been spent. It takes care of the evangelist for two months, leaving something over for tracts, which are al ways needed. Pray for this village, and for the hundreds of villages in Korea alone, where the light of the glorious gospel of Christ has never had a chance to dispel the darkness of heathenism. I wish I were able to partially repay dear old Biola for all she has meant and still
means to me. I read with great interest the K in g ’ s B u s in e s s and thank God for the changed lives that have gone out from Biola. During the last year, it was my privilege to teach a Bible class of Korean young men, in English, in addition to my classes in English, History, and Bible, in our high school here.” Robert A. Graves, ’27, and his brother, William G. Graves, ’27, during the past several months, have been endeavoring to reach some of the small towns near Berke ley, Calif.,_with the Word of God. Robert Graves will continue with his work as pastor of a church in West Berkeley, while his brother, William, will give full time to reaching the spiritually hungry people in out of the way places. The lat ter writes: “After meetings in Cottonwood, we came to Los Angeles to arrange some matters in connection with the Boys’ Bible Conferences for next summer. God has mar velously blessed our efforts to reach the needy towns. In a little schoolhouse about thirty miles from the railroad, a young mother, at the close of a meeting, came forward and received the Lord Jesus as her personal Saviour. She told me after wards that she had been praying for a year that God would send some one to her to show her the way of salvation. It is impossible to go out into these needy fields and camp in the winter as we did in the summer and fall, so we are building a house trailer in which we can live in any weather. The trailer can be easily pulled behind our Ford. We believe this is God’s answer to our problem. AH our work is at tempted solely on faith, and we are praying that God will lay this urgent need upon the hearts of His children.” Martha Kliewer, ’27, plans to join Beat rice Marable, a trained nurse, in the work of the St. Barnabas Faith Mission in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, about the first of the year. Miss Kliewer was graduated from the California Lutheran Hospital in 1932. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bigelow and son Donald Lea, are in Congo Beige, East Africa, with the Unevangelized Africa Mission. Mr. Bigelow spends one after noon a week in Sake, doing personal work among the men. A young Jewish mer chant has shown much interest. He has read the Gospels and has asked many questions. Please pray for him. Eric (’25) and Mrs. Swadell (Laura Pim, ’25) have resigned their work at Fort Bragg, Calif., and have taken over the shepherding of a grateful flock in Para dise, Calif. Recently evangelistic meetings were held, with Mr. Swadell preaching. Eighteen new members were received into the church. Pauline Fraas, ’15, and Ruth Dunn, ’33, sailed October 31 for Lubero, Congo Beige, Africa, under the Unevangelized Africa Mission. This is Miss Fraas’ third jour ney to Africa. She was formerly affiliated with the Africa Inland Mission. While on furlough, she completed a year and a half of study at the University of California at Los Angeles. Married D. Robert Stevens and Ruth Wyant, ’32, July 9, Whittier Brethren Church, Whit tier, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens are making their home at 1739 Temple St., Long Beach, Calif. Louis Bardwell and Beulah Gault, ’32, October 26, Chicago, 111. Mr. and Mrs. Bardwell are attending the evening classes of the Moody Bible Institute. Peter J. Visser and Elizabeth Mahon, ’28, in October, Tshene, Mangai-Etat sur Kasai, Congo Beige, W. C. Africa.
