ELEANOR BOWIE George C, Carmichael is a wholesome exemplification of the old-fashioned, praying, American pioneer type. Originally from west- ern Nebraska, he entered the Lord's work after having been converted in a tent meet- ing while employed in the wheat harvest fields. A graduate of Southern California Bible Institute, he also studied at Pacific College, Bible lnstitute of Los Angeles, and Los Angeles Theological Seminary. These years of specialized training have ably quali- fied him for the instruction of New Testa- ment Greek. Having experienced many of the problems of rugged, backwoods ministry, he is uniquely fitted to lead activities of the Practical Work Department carried on in many backward areas. His sincerity and firm gentleness are well adapted to the exacting task of Dean of Men. The true worth of his ministry can be revealed and rewarded only in Eternity. GEORGE C. CARMICHAEL For twelve years students have loved and appreciated our own Mother Bowie. ln the village of Summerville, Nova Scotia, where she was born, her early schooling gave prep- aration for further education at Bridgeport General Hospital Training School for nurses. Later she became matron of a missionary rest home where she met and married George Bowie, a returned missionary from Africa. After experiencing tests and victories in Africa they returned to the States. The death of Mr. Bowie took place shortly afterward during his ministry in Cleveland, Ohio. Mrs. Bowie accepted the position of Dean of Women at C. B, I. and since has become affectionately known as Mother Bowie. We have found in her an understanding heart which counsels us likewise to adorn the Gospel of Christ, X
