mental and business matters which required our pres-
ence in P.-au-P. September was an especially busy
month. With the letup of the summer rains we were
able to make a long-planned visit to all our stations in
the north around Gonaives. For about a week we
went out into the plains and mountains spending an
average of about six hours on horseback each day.
That month we also took a last-chance vacation for a
week in Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Republic, before
we settled down to the routine schedule of the Bible
school we were planning to start in October.
 We opened the Bible school with seven students
on October 3, the first anniversary of our arrival in
Haiti.
 In a year or two, as the Lord provides, we hope
to develop a full-time schedule of concentrated in-
struction with classes five days a week in the morn-
ings.
 October 26th Dr. Vanderpool arrived for a 5-day
visit with us which we enjoyed immensely. It was
almost like a visit home. We enjoyed the spiritual
fellowship with him, especially praying together. He
was quite surprised at the scenic beauty of the moun-
tains back of P.-au-P. where we took him one morn-
ing. We bounced him 100 miles up the rough road
to Canal Bois, where we have our main station in
the north, and he said the road was a little worse
than he had expected. The Haitians are still talking
about the messages he brought while he was here.
 The language barrier is largely gone now, as far
as Creole is concerned, even if our French is still a
little wobbly. It will take a long-range program for
the proper development of our field and people-flash
evangelism is not enough. But the Lord has helped
us in every one of our problems in the past, and with
Him we can see a bright future.
