A Poem
From Mrs. Eby ...
—The Spirit of the Pioneers—
Renew their breed Almighty
God! Those Pioneers of yester
day,
Who through the wilderness and
wastes, undaunted pushed their
westward way,
Renew their breed; we need
them back to scorn the soft
ness of our ways.
We need them back to teach us
how to meet the problems of
these days
New Frontiers lift their rocky
heights, new deserts stretches
before our years
Renew in us. Almighty God, The
spirit of the pioneers.
Renew their breed those giant
men, those women of the rug
ged path,
Who smiled at fears and daily
gave Impossibilities the laugh.
With fortitude they faced their
fight to tame the unknown and
the wild ,
They climbed the mountains,
plowed their plains, to any
hardship reconciled.
Renew their breed, we owe them
more than we can pay with
whines or fears
Almighty God, renew in us the
spirit of the Pioneers.

French Family
Sends Report
From Rhodesia
Dear family:
We finally left Kamina last
Wednesday evening. After rep at
ed rumors the plane finally land
ed about one cc'ock and had to
unload several tans of aviation
gas. It was a C-124 Globemaster.
One of the pilots had gore through
his jet training at Webb AFB
and graduated just a month be
fore I arrived in ’54.
There was 202 of us on board,
most'y Presbyterians and Meth
odists with 10 Italians. The Italian
consul was killed in Elizabethville
so they asked the Ame-ican con
sul to help them so they had
second priority on our aircraft.
Kirsten had not slept much as _
the tension and excitement ran .
high so she slept all the way af
ter they started the engines. They
served us crackers, cheese and
grapefruit juice on the plane.
We landed at Salisbury a few
minutes before midnight.
We are living here with Hans
and Agny Arif in sens, Norweigan
missionaries whi bcth wero in
a seminary in Sweden with Tove
before they came to the mission
field. They have three childrt n,
the youngest just eight months
old.
The Rhodesians went overboard
to help us. Of course they had to
be organized to care for 2,500 of
us. We were off the plane and on
busses to a mess hall where we
were served coffee and went
through immigrations, customs
and medical. They nr rely asked
if we had any firearms or were
sick, then they took us to another
place for a meal and housing.
Being tired, discouraged and
cold it certainly makes one take
a different view of a disaster
and relief work. I didn't have a
coat and it gets cold here. Then
we went to our temporary bar
racks and had a bed with plenty
of blankets. Thursday morning
the missionaries picked all miss
ionaries up and brought us to
the various missions.
Iho night letters were not ex
pensive—less than a pound (2.81).
I still have not become accus
tomed to 20 shillings to a pound,
twelve penny to the shilling and
the crown, half crown and ticke
thrown in for confusion. I “
.Mrs. Richard Harmon
Patricia Cunningham
Richard Harmon Wed
In Lincoln Cathedral
Patricia Cunningham, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cun
ningham of O'Neill, and Richard
Harmon, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Neal D. Harmon of Lincoln,
were married Friday, July 15 in
an 11 a m. ceremony.
The bride, escorted to the altar
by her father, appeared In a
white sheath dress of silk. She
carried a bridal bouquet of
orchids.
Yesterday we went into Salis
bury to do some shopping and to
see the first missionaries leave
for home. They are those who
are to retire. Bishop Booth still
has not given any of the rest of
us permission. Three of the work
team from California, who were
at Kapanga, left. The others went
to Umtali to work. Also several
women’s division workers from
Central Congo and Aunt Anne
Lerbak, who is taking the Bit
sch-L: rsen’s four girls home with
her. They are flying to Johan
nesburg to Copenhagen. They
should arrive Wednesday.
Bishop Booth arrived from Leo
poldville wli.le we were at the
airport. He had listened to the
Presoyterian and Central Congo
broadcasts so he knew we had
left Kapanga. He brought us up
to date on the political situa
tion.
Basically, Tahombe’s withdraw
al from the Congo was expect
ed and about the only alterna
tive. His refusal of UN troops
is understan Irble under the cir
cumstance and is not significant
as long as he retains a liason
with the UN as hr* is doing. It is
significant that the Sendwc, head
of the Eartel of Balubakat, has
agreed to j ,in Tah mb '. Undoub
ted y this can be credited to the I
influence of Bishop Booth as Sen
dwe is almost like a son to him.
Bishop Booth was less optimis I
tic ab ut our immediate return
to the Katanga than we expected
probably because of the critical

Rhodesia is an amazing con
trast to the Congo. Here the dir
ector has his AB degree and all
teachers have a secondrry educa
tion with two years of teachers
training. But the Federation and
Ne-rth and South Rhodesia and
Nyasalamd are sti'l hotbed; of
unrest and the settlers will never
leave as the Belgians did. I had
a long talk w:th the teachers and
was very pleased that we finally
ag-eed that the on'y possible sol
ution could he the Church and
Christi: n love.
This will be it for now. We will
have some pictures for you next
week.
