A brother in Tennessee, who desires to remain
anonymous, has offered to send MISSION MESSENGER for one year to
any faculty member or student of any college in the United
States, upon request. The only requirement is that the request
from such student or faculty member be made personally as there
is no desire or intention to impose our thinking upon any person.
A card or letter, giving name and mailing address, and including
the name of the college is all that is required. This
announcement may be made in any class or to any group, or
otherwise conveyed to all interested persons who qualify.

and to youth groups to encourage them to enter medicine, nursing,
dentistry, medical technology, as fields of Christian service. He

Our brethren in Great Britain are taking the
lead in an appeal to Christians to contribute to purchase of a
printing press to enable native brethren in The Cameroons,
Africa, to circulate the message of truth to their own
countrymen. Brother D. N. Elangwe, who is a former schoolmaster,
and a convert from Roman Catholicism, will edit the paper "As the
Oracles of God" and prepare tracts and other suitable material.
We have corresponded with this brother personally and have seen
samples of the work being produced. We urge you to help them to
help themselves by sending a contribution to James R. Gardiner,
88 Davidson Terrace, Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland.
