These alumni are scattered o'er all the world, teaching all nations. ..15lf23it.,. , fi 1555 ' ' 1 l l -aging? Several of the alumni have preceded us to our eternal Home in Heaven. Eight graduates have gone on to be with the Lord. The most recent one to meet her Saviour face to face was Ruby Pletcher, member of the Ambassadors' Class of 1936. Ruby was the wife of Gerald Pletcher, '35. Brother and Sister Pletcher have worked together in several pastorates, the most recent one being Gallup, New Mexico, where Brother Pletcher is still laboring for the Lord. Q .A Although the war has closed many of the doors to foreign countries, still we have alumni who are missionaries onthe field: Eddie Out- house in Columbia, S.A., Peter Kizner in Argen- tina, and our honorary member, Lucille Jenkins in Liberia, Africa. Brother and Sister Paul Hart- man are making arrangements to soon join the Outhouses in South America. After almost six years of service in India, Louise Gates is now home on her first furlough. ' 4: rv -in Home missions play a major role in our missionary program. Scattered throughout the United States-in the mountains, in orphanages, and among the Indians-are seventeen of our graduates. They are doing a splendid work carrying the Gospel to the out-of-the-way places. Q
