Having been acquainted with the work of the Gospel Broadcasting Mission for the past several years, and having taped twenty fifteen-minute programs to be
broadcast over a station in Puerto Rico,

1 deem it a privilige to be of use in the carrying on of this much needed work. Having had some eighteen years of ex perience in the broadcasting of the glori ous gospel of Christ, I believe that the broadcasting of the gospel affords many people the opportunity of hearing for the first time the gospel of the grace of God. When I stand before a microphone I feel that there is before me a great audience,
and that I am reaching more people in that way than one could hope to reach in
several chui'ch services.

April 7 began the 14th year of actual broadcasting from the Gospel Broadcasting Mission. The first broadcast went out over Radio Luxembourg April 7, 1952, to an estimated listening audience at that hour over Radio Lux embourg to 200,000 people, covering a radius of 800 miles, reaching most of the British Islands and beyond the
iron curtain in continental Europe. The listening hour has been improved, also the listening audience and coverage. The power of the station has been increased many times.

People like the man who wrote, "the life I have lived with Christ in my time of life has not been one minute too long, and if I could see my time over again, it would be Christ." It is with deep humility and pray er for strength that Charles and Mary Frances carry the Word through this broad cast and their follow-up efforts to those who need to feel this way about Christ!

The Nigeria broadcast is given by Donald Baughman over Lagos and Ibadan stations in Nigeria with very satisfying results. Time Sunday, 9:45, English, heard over a wide area.

which are considered to be holy. For ex ample, the crucifix before which she re

ceived the "stigmata", and the rock which

she used as a pillow. The "stigmata" are the bleeding wounds in the palms of the hands sometimes also in the forehead, sup posedly duplicating the wounds of the nails
in Christ's hands and of the thorns in His
forehead.

Another example: In 1224, according to the Roman church, St. Francis received his stigmata on the top of a mountain, at Assisi, in Italy- and there the church built a monastery. This has become every year, in the spring, the goal of many pilgrims wishing to ask a favor of this saint. It is said that one night when it was very, very cold, in the middle of winter, the monks did not get up at the hour of 2:00 a.m. to re cite their prayers because of the intense

cold. They always went to the chapel of

the Stigmata, as it was called, to say these prayers. This certain night when they did not appear because of the excessive cold, all of the animals from the surrounding forest took the place of the monks in order to honor the memory of St. Frances and in the morning their footprints were found in the corridor and in the chapel.

We were graciously entertained at the Utica, Ohio, Church of Christ where Mr. Coble presented the work of the Gospel Broadcasting Mission and Mrs. Coble taught the adult mixed class in Bible school. She enjoyed the period very much. There was a period of discussion where many took part, which Mrs. Coble enjoys. If they downed her, she never found it out. The lesson on the building of the tabernacle and
the dedicated craftsman Bezalel, is one of the most interesting lessons and charac ter studies in the Bible. It is interesting to remember that Bezalel, the builder of the tabernacle, Solomon, the temple, and Jesus, the head and builder of the church, were

It was a pleasure to see his fine collection, but a delight also to see the fine figurines he made of metal. Upon seeing a small metal eagle perched on one of the clocks and remarking that it was her favorite bird, she was delighted later to have him hand her a beautiful, much larger eagle with outspread wings for her to keep as a souvenir. It has an honored place among her souvenirs. The church had a fine reception dinner for the Cobles at the noon hour, they are delightful people
