Y, ' 'lax' Mrs. Elisabeth Howard Elliot and daughter, Valerie A glorious example of God's miraculous providence - February, 1958, finds Betty Elliot lwith earnest-eyed Valeriel leaming the Auca language from Mankamu lon the leftl and Mintaka lon the rightl, who was the older of the two Auca women contacted on the Curaray River beach by the live missionaries on Ianuary 6, 1956. Q? ,bedica lion When thou passest through the waters, I will he with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon theef, Isaiah 43:2 With seeming prophetic significance, Cod re-spoke these words to the heart of one of His servants a number of years ago. About ten years later, in an event which appeared to the world to be tragedy, but which the Church of the Lord jesus knew to be triumph, God proved His word to His servant, and through her, to the world. With thankfulness to Cod for the testimony to the world of His strong sulliciency, to the Church of His loving wisdom in ordering the martyrdom of five of His servants in Ecuador, and to the students of Hampden DuBose Academy of the example which her life has been of stead- fast purpose and simple obedience, we dedicate this Esse of 1958 to Elisabeth Howard Elliot, of the Class of 1944. Of her it has been said, They got to die - she has to live. Perhaps some future day, Lord, Thy strong hand, Will lead me to the place where I must stand, Utterly alone. Alone, O Gracious Lover, but for Thee, I shall he satisfied I can see, Jesus only. I do not know Thy plan for years to come, My spirit finds in Thee its perfect home, Sufficiency. Lord, all my desire is before Thee now- Lead on, no matter where, no matter how, I trust in Thee. -Elisabeth Howard Elliot
