With the farm financial picture
mtinuing bright despite the Febru

One effect cf the price-break, how
ever, is a loted unwillingness of
farmers to pay “Grey-market”

Bluffton missionaries to the north
ern provinces of India, on the
Tibetan border, were caught for a
time in the Indian communal riots,
according to a letter received this
week from Rev. and Mrs. Charles
Warren Rev. and Mrs. E. B. Steiner
and Dr. and Mrs. Bradford Steiner.
Rev. Warren formerly served as a
temporary pulpit supply pastor at
the Bluffton Ebenezer Mennonite
church.
Mrs. Waren and Dr. Steiner are
children of Rev. and Mrs. Steiner,
and saw their parents for the first
time in 10 years when they sailed
from this country, arriving in India,
on June 7.
After the family reunion ir
Bombrftr, the two newly arrived
families went to a missionary lang
uage school in Landour, and were
there when the communal riots broke
out. As a result they left earlier
than had been planned to take up
their missionary duties in the north
ern Indian provinces. Altho they
suffered no harm in the riots, they
were delayed at one railroad station
for 10 days before they could pro
ceed, and Dr. Steiner and Mrs.
Warren gave madical assistance to
the local Moslem refugee camp.

In Remembrance
They never quite leave us,
Our dear ones who have passed
Through the shadows of death
To the sunlight above
A thousand sweet memories
Are holding them fast
To the places they blessed
With their presence and love.
The work which they left
And the books which they read
Speak mutely, though still,
With an eloquence rare,
And the songs that they sang,
The words that they said,
Yet linger and sigh on the desolate
air.
And oft when alone, and oft in the
throng,
Or when evil allures us, or sin draw
eth nigh,
A whisper comes gently, “Nay do
not the wrong.”
And we feel that our weakness
Is pitied on high.
Sadly missed by—
Clara B. Jennings and Family.
