June 6-Have been quite busy-summer session of the
 Bible school, last week end at Gonaives, Holiness
 Association of Haiti meeting at our house all day
 yesterday. We enjoyed it, but we are a little tired
 today.
 The trip to Gonaives was very worth while. I
 preached and talked tithing and giving the whole
 time. The board members, preachers and people
 seemed to be receptive. Now we'll wait and see if
 they do anything about it. We are trying to arrange
 it so that at each of our stations the people are con-
 tributing something to the salary of the native preach-
 er and pay for their running expenses.
 A letter from Dr. Rehfeldt says they would try
 to send us a couple with the wife being a nurse, but
 no definite word yet as to a choice.
