The flrst Baptist Mis sionary work in Africa was begun In Nigeria in 1S50 by Tbomae J. Bowen.' We were told of the vari ous missionaries who followed car rying on in many fields ot work. Ot great Interest was the story ot Mies Neale C. Young who achieved much In W. M. U. work of Nigeria. Also, we learned ot the A. Scott Pattersons, Dr. and Mrs. George Oreen, the W. II. Carsons, and nu merouB other mlseionarieB who have given their hearts and lives to the carrying on ot God’s work among these dark people of Toruba Land, These people know there is a God, hut they know not Christ , as their Saviour.

As they studied together, they caught a clearer vision of publlehlng glad tidings through preaching, heal ing, teaching, prayer, and through tlie printed page. Their hearts were stirred as they hoard Mrs, Rankin tell ot ber experiences ihroueh witnessing for Christ in China. The students are very grateful tor Mrs. Rankin. GRinviiEN JonxsoN.

' MOVIES T ▼ Ronald Coiman and Ginger Rogers in “Lucky Partners” Bracketing two ot the screen's top favorites tor the llrst time, "Lucky Partners" brings Ronald Colnian and Ginger Rogers (o the Ambassador Theatre In what is said to be the aprlghtliest comedy- romance of tbe season. From the Ultra-modern, sophisti cated pen of Sacha Guitry, “Lucky Partners" casts Coiman as David Grant, an artist with a secret past, and Miss Rogers as Jean, a clerk in her aunt’s Greenwich Village book shop. Jean Is engaged to Poughkeepsie's coming tycoon, Freddie, and as soon aa she earns a bank account tor emergencies, she plana to marry him. Circumstances cause Jean to believe that David brings her good luck, and she urges him to Join her in the purchase ot a sweepstake ticket. Intrigued with the Idea. David agrees, but on one condition: that Jean shall accompany him on a Platonic honeymoon before she weds Freddie. Freddie, It seems, believes the nuptial Journey Is a waste ot time and money, whereas David considers the event essential. This honeymoon, David assures Jean, will be strictly make-believe; they'll travel like brother and sister. Jean consonts, dubiously. How ever, they draw a horse, and Fred die secretly sells the ticket, which yields $6,000. David considers the event essential. This falls on the flrst leg of their trip, hotly pur sued by Freddie who has come to the conclusion that he doesn't trust David after all. How David and Jean tall in love with otie another without daring to reveal it, iha compllcaclonB caused by Freddie's arrival, and David's solution ot the problem by running off and Starting back to New York, only to be arrested on a charge ot cnr (heft, all lead up to the hilarious climax of the pic ture. A trial scono during which David's i-eiil identity and the secret ot his odd behavior Is revealed, anl the satisfactory conclusion of tho hectic raniance, are Foatured In this (nst-movlng ending. As the erratic and gallant David, Colninn has his bost screen I'ole In years. Ginger's Interpretation of Jean is delightful.

The shuddoraome portions are provided by those thorough-going villains, Peter Lorre, Doris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, who are seen as three diabolical Individuals en gaged In the reprehenslljla (ask ot trying to murder a charming young lady so they can make a lot of money. Against this sinister scheme and its appropriate background of a gloomy old mansion StuBed with savage trophies and trick passage ways, Is laid the tuneful story ot Kay Kyser, a syncopating sleuth who comes to the mansion with his band to play for the heroine’s birthday party and winds up un ravelling the llendlsli machinations ot the three bad men. Before the unravelling, however, there arc a scries of sprightly seances, mysterious disappearances, hilarious comedy momcots, several narrow escapes from sudden death and a Hock of catchy new song numbers. Kyser himself proves as ver satile as he is musical, and Ms pertorniance as the frightened ama teur detcclive who constantly stumbles into trouble is a gem ot acting.
