    News irom Miss Hoppe

    As I

    began this article,

    I wish

    to

    thank each of you

    for

    your

    pray

    ers

    and gifts. May God bless each

    of you.

    India,

    so

    I

    left by airplane from

    Bombay on April 14, and

    arrived

    in

    Rochester, Minn,

    on April 16.

    I have

    been

    discharged from the

    Mayo a i n i c af te r tests.

    I

    was told

    that I am

    in

    good physical condi

    t ion

    now,

    but tha t

    I

    should have

    rest

    and quiet.

    I do

    get

    better

    res t here on a

    fa rm in this coun

    t ry

    Just now I leave

    future

    plans

    with God.

    I

    am not in financial

    need now

    as my parents

    are

    pro

    viding food and home for me,

    but

    the

    mission

    does

    need

    money to

    continue

    support

    of the native

    evangelists.

    Helping in Primary

    School

    The

    fourth t ime

    I went

    down

    to

    help with

    the work. I was feeling

    so much stronger that I began

    to

    help

    in the small

    primary school in

    which two

    Indian

    Christian moth

    ers

    were

    te ac hin g. C la sses

    were

    only held in the

    morning, begin

    ning about

    7 A.M. I started

    by

    checking the younger children s

    arithmetic. Because

    they

    write

    each on his

    own small

    slate, the

    teacher

    must

    check

    the lesson

    as

    soon

    as possible so that

    it

    may

    be erased and

    the child

    may con

    writing

    his

    lessons. I

    was

    the meaning
