Early in the sehool year many of the students saw the opportunity and the need tor personal work among the people, especially the poor, here in lf'ranktort. As the burden grew heavier, they felt it on their hearts to go out and work among the needy ones, giving them the gospel message, and carrying light and gladne-s to their hungry hearts. In some of the homes the people had heard little ot the gospel, and always there were eager anxious hearts, ready to listen to the students as they sang, prayed, and talked to them of salvation. Hell Thoma:. Beulah Moyers, Dorothy Dobie, Ethel Collins, Ruth Rauey, llertlta tameren, tlladys Zeller, Hallie Watson, Pearl Sims, Susie Burseh and Frieda Deal were all laithtul members of these bands, and gave inueh of their time and effort to the work. Tracts have been passed out in about two hundred homes and the girls are expecting to put at least one traet in every home in Frankfort. A number ot jail meetings have been held during the year and some of those who helped in this work were Miss Lamb, Miss Hobson, Belle Thomas, Pearl llarbison, Edith Uonsley and Florenee White. A number of the boys have also held serviees in the Jail. The hearts ot the inmates were touched as they heard the gospel and Eternity alone ean tell how etteetive that work has been. Then, too, serviees were sometimes held at the County Infirmary for the old people. These aged ones were glad indeed to see the students and showed deep appreciation for their coming. Not only have the students engaged in personal work but some have pas- tored ehurehes and help revival meetings. tllenn Hohn was pastor at Clark's Hill part of the year and at the beginning of the second semester, a sueeesstul revival was held with Neal Hutehinson as evangelist. Everett Powers has pastored the .lf'airmount Uhureh during this school year and he has continued the work along the same line as that on which it, was started. In addition the ehureh has been freed from debt and dedicated. During the Christmas vacation Bro. Miller helped Bro. Powers in a revival at this place. llater Brother Powers held a revival at Kempton. Freida Rieh served as pastor at Seeond Pilgrim Holiness Church of Frank- fort during the year, being helped with the singing and playing in many of the serviees by llernadine l-leisner, Ida Barnes and others from the school. As- sisted by Nora Allen Weismantle, she also held a mid-winter revival. During the Christmas vacation Sister Stuart and Neal Hutchinson held a revival at Terre Haute. Other students that helped were Louise Nichols, Lillian Morris. Catherine Haas, Faye Nichols, Wayne Brown, Pearl Sims, Fran- ces l.'ill1't'l1, Ura Belle Dooley and Beulah Rhoden. This was a very gracious revival and many souls prayed through. The training of the students here has not been solely educational training for they have also 1'eeeived practical religious training by doing Work of this kind. The hearts of many people have been made glad and in return, the hearts of the workers have been rejoiced with the realization that they have brought truth, cheer and comfort to others. -Beruadine Beisner. --76f-

They returned with burdened hearts over the -'JW physical needs but the greater burden was over their need of God. Their earnest appeals and sad requests for prayer touched other hearts. Q9 Out of these lJul'Cl0llCCl hearts and a l011g'll1g to be like Him i11 tl1e spirit of Q helping others, the Lord led us to have our first Thanksgiving dinner at tl1e College.
