Aug. 14-Happy to learn that there is $1,633.57 in Kansas
 City toward the $5,000 for building P.-au-P. church
 facilities. Just possibly might be able to get some
 suitable property cheap from the government in a
 newly developed section of the city.
Aug. 27-October 1 is set for the opening of our Bible
 school. Perhaps will have six or more pupils. We
 are feeling more and more that this will be the most
 important phase of our service here. Of the dozen
 or more preachers only E-- is halfway qualified
 to be called a Nazarene preacher. I think he will
 develop eventually into a good Nazarene preacher
 and Bible school teacher.
Aug. 30-We went on a little trip into the country and
 I've gotten something that is exactly like poison oak.
 I have some on my fingers so I'm afraid I won't be
 able to type in a few days. I don't think it will be
 too bad a case (like last year at seminary commence-
 ment time) but any case is bad enough. So far I
 haven't been able to find out what plant it is that
 causes it. Perhaps the Haitians aren't allergic to it.
 I got the shock of my life yesterday when I found
 a thermometer and discovered how hot it is now in
 Haiti. I returned from walking around town and
 entered the office of the garage where the jeep was
 being repaired, and it felt so cool in there. They
 had a thermometer there in the office, and when I
 saw it I asked if it was working because I couldn't
 believe that it was 90 in that "cool" office. They
 said it was right and that it usually got up to 940 in
 the afternoon. In that case, I'm sure that it is well
 over 1000 in the sun from 11 a.m. to about 3 p.m.
 Where we live is several hundred feet higher than
 downtown where the garage is and it is probably a
 little cooler, but I would not doubt that the tempera-
 ture in our living room gets up to a high of at least
