KnrnI-UOw-u MAY 14, 1950. DEAR CLASSMATE: I,ve had a blessed time in Chile the last five years, but home seems wonderful again. Fm spending a week in a beautiful new Missionary Rest House, where Lillian Flessing makes a fine Matron. You asked me to find out all I could concerning the class of 35, and live located them all. There was a Pentecostal Evangel on the boat on which I came back, and in it I saw the notice of Mary Crumpis return to Africa for her third term of service. I read also of Lucille and Tillie Axtellis contemplated visit to the U.S.A. from Korea, where they have been nine years without a furlough. I read also of the election of Edna Hudson as Assistant Superintendent of the Assemblies of God in India. One Sunday I listened to the Pensacola Tabernacle of Pensacola, Florida, of which Dr. Gruneich is pastor. Winnifred Gennow furnishes the organ music for all his regular radio services. . Arriving in New York, I was met by Anne Ringness and Esther Peterson. Esther is traveling in the interests of a New Jersey orphanage, while Anne is secretary to a world-renowned evangelist and does no little preaching herself. Elmer Zimmerman is in his thirteenth week of a campaign in the Broadway Temple, and through him I learned that Bob Carlson recently took up his duties as music instructor in our Pentecostal University in Florence, Italy. Elmer also told me that Harriet Williams is to return in a few weeks from London where she has been for two years, making a survey of our work. When I arrived in Chicago, I was royally entertained in Helen Miller,s home. She keeps the hearth fires burning while her evangelist husband goes from coast to coast. She told me that Freda had opened seventeen small churches in Montana. As soon as one is on its feet, she turns it over to an N.C.B.I. student. Ada Blick and Mildred Foster have two hne Indian Missions in New Mexico, while Ada Mae Frederick is charming the Kentucky mountain people with her voice and leading many to Christ. Lyle Curtis is pastor at Madison, Wis. Bertha Nordstrom and Myrtle Erickson both travel alone. Bertha,s in Toronto now, and Myrtleis in Waco, Texas. Ruth Otteson is still in the New Hebrides, as Superintendent of our hospital there. In Minneapolis the first one to greet me was Ruth Crump, who teaches at N.C.B.I. Winifred Barger is coming here next fall as Matron. Irene Strom and her husband dropped in from Sauk Center for a few hours. She is foremost among Vacation Bible School instructors. Lois Grant wired me to come to Tacoma, Washington; her oldest daughter is fast becoming the same kind of musical wizard that her mother is. Lloyd Jorgenson is stopping in Tacoma for a weeks meetings before he goes on to Springfield to report on Alaska. Even our 30 below weather will seem tame to him now. Would you like some books? There is a new one by Arne Brenden entitled 'iOld Thoughts From the Hebrews? It is his twenty-first. Mildred Culver has a religious novel just off the press, a best seller. Alma Wellbrock writes for the Sunday School papers. Ferne Duffey broadcasts a fifteen minute program, entitled uMorning Meditations? Emma Noel is still preaching, mainly in Utah and Idaho. Wayne Jackson is Dean of the new Bible School in Sioux Falls, and you know, I suppose, that Charles Busch is President of that institution. He is also pastor there. Myrtle W'estlund gives illustrated lectures. Fleming May is his own business manager and expects to bring the May Evangelist Party here in June or July. Marie Pederson is pastor at Oskaloosa, Iowa. Does this account for everyone? No, there,s Gladys Welter who preaches along with her husband in Fargo, North Dakota. They spent several years in Haiti as missionaries. Of course, you remember Claude and Genevieve. Heis the foremost Missionary in the Soudan. Iim getting homesick for school days again, and so this letter must come to a close. There are fine reports from Frances Kooimafs wonderful school down in South Africa. Iill see you soon. God bless you. YOUR SCHOOLDAYSn FRIEND, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, Box 143. ROSE? uzgu
