Daddy took this picture of Peter and he
was so busy that he didn't even hear the
camera click. You see, Peter and Andy and
Douglas and Phillip are preparing to take
an important examination in May and they
have been studying very hard. If they pass
this exam, they will be able to go on to
"higher schools".
Children who pass this exam with very
good grades are allowed to go to higher
schools free of charge, while the others
have to pay. Our boys are hoping to do
well and win their scholarship. We hope so
too. don't you?

Jamaica, and was followed by the oldest and youngest boys in the Hcane.

Just t-oday a little boy met us and tugged at us with pleading in his eyes and
voice when he said, "Oh 3^dy, won't you take me home with you, please, please mam?"
He. ivas just a little i^aif
didnH know who we were, but \^s so terribly in need.
Little children need this Home and v;e pray that God idJ.1 meet every need so that we
can help others soon.
WE I'lEED YOUR PRAY^SRS I Our little boys knelt to pray about the dormitory, that
God wound, provide the needs so that ive might not have to stop the workmen.
THEY Ki^lOl-J THAT EACH I'lUST DO HIS PART when they ask God for blessings. So one
little fellow asked that we take all the money out of the boys banks. Readily they all
agreed, and we ^vere proud of them, even though their banks would only average 50^.
Our youngest, five year old Lloyd met a lady in the yard who asked him where his
Mommy was. Lloyd, having seen MoMiiy counting the church offering with its multitude
of Simday School pennies, said, "Mommy is in the office and she's counting her money.
She has stacks and stacks of money!"
