Ponns ide Since the first married students from King's moved into apartments at Pennside a few years ago, an effectual door of testimony has slowly been opening there. The Lord's blessing is now seen as never before, but we know that much of that blessing comes as the result of the faithful lives and words of former students. This year the Sunday school attendance surpassed one hundred, under the leadership of Dick Turley and Marlin Bowes. George Moore a ‘49 graduate, led in beginning a weekly street meeting and a Sunday evening evangelistic service. Doris Pollen and Eleanor Cook saw sev- eral decisions for Christ in their Bible Club for the children of the neighborhood, and the Wednesday night prayer meeting has continued as a source of blessing and strength. Great encouragement in the work has come trom the evident spiritual awakening among the non-student residents. A group of Pennsiders asked Ralph Lenz to conduct a Bible class, and several have accepted Christ as Saviour under his ministry. Christians have been revived and are seeking the Lord's will for their lives. Both men and women have taken an active stand for the Lord in the newly-formed church. Thus a nucleus of believers has been created to con- tinue a permanent work alter the students and their families have gone on to other fields of service.
