tion of approximately 475 thou-
sand; less than 20 miles from Am-
sterdam with nearly 800 thousand;
about 30 miles from Rotterdam
with nearly 600 thousand; and
about 25 miles from the Univer-
sity city of Utrecht, where Brother
Phillips hopes to go to school, and
which has a population of more
than 150 thousand people. Maybe

distances are tn some instances

of six tracts. One has already gone
to press. And translation of the
others is almost flmsned. They
have to be translated by Brother
Vandervis out of English into the
Dutch language.
Then he gets
cated Hollanders to help him cor-
rect his copies and see that the
ideas are east into clear language
and good grammar. When this has
been done, typewritten copies are
made and submitted to the printer.
This requires much work, But in
some instances teaching can be
done while getting the tracts cor-
rected, as was the case when visit-
ing in The Hague.
8. ELEVEN-POUND PARCELS.
Your local Post Office will furnish
you with proper forms to be filled
out and give you complete infor-
mation for shipping by parcel post.
No parcel over 11 pounds will be
accepted for mailing, and it must
not exceed 72 Inches in length and
girth combined. Only one parcel
per week can be sent by one
sender to a given addressee. But as
many persons as wish may send
to the same addressee. Also one
sender may send, two packages a
week by sending one to Brother
Vandervis and the other to Bro-
ther Phillips. The postage is
31.54 for each 11-pound package.
At present a duty of 51c is hav-
ing to be paid on the other end
of the line by the receiver. But, ef-
fort is being made to obtain a
permit that will allow relief pack-
ages to be received duty free. AU
parcels should be well wrapped and
packed so that there will be no
breakage or rattling. 1.-----
sent, only two pounds of any one
item can be sent in a given pack-
age. And the amount and price of
each item must be declared on the
forms furnished by the Post Of-
fice.
9. SHIPMENTS BY FREIGHT.
Shipments may be sent by, freight
without restrictions as to size,
weight, and shape of packages,
just so the boxes are securely and
suitably packed for export. No ex-
port license is required for ship-
ping used clothing, and none for
new clothing if it is wool. Neither

with ample room for their bicy-

to receive from America for reUef
work. One room of their apart-
ment will be used as a place of
worship till they have need and
opportunity to secure a separate
building. Their address now is
388 Leidschevaart, Haarlem, Ne-
derland. All letters and packages
should be sent to this address.
They are anxious to have both—
packages for relief work, and let-
ters for their own enjoyment and
encouragment.
2. MISSIONARIES NOW
HAVE A HOME. Up till now, since
arriving in Holland, Brother Jacob
C. Vandervis and his helper, Bro-
ther Billie Leslie Phillips, have
not had a home of their own. They
have had to impose on the gener-
osity and hospitality of an old
boyhood friend of Brother Vander-
vis, who offered them a tempor-
ary lodging until they could find
a place to buy or rent for them-
selves. But now they have succeed-
ed in renting a place, with posses-
sion to be given the first of Nov-
ember.
It is a three room furnished
apartment on the lower floor, and
Is located on a street
They also have use of
4. SERVICES CONDUCTED IN
THE HAGUE. Already services
have been conducted In The Ha-
gue. Our mlsslonalres were invited
there to the home of a relative of
Brother Vandervis’ wife (who now
is dead). All members of the fam-
ily were present, also the bride-to-
be of the son of the family, ahd
an outside couple. Brother Van-
deris preached for a half hour,
discussion continued for two and
one-half hours more.
Then after the evening meal
Brother Vandervis got out a tract
that he had recently translated In-
to Dutch, and got in further
teaching as he secured their help

it is caked "CARE,"
from the initial letters. This is a ’
non-profit cooperative
of 25 accredited relief
tlons. CARE has shopping, ware-
housing, and distributing organi-
zations in Holland. Food is already
in the warehouses ready for im-
mediate release upon purchase by
Americans.

Their statement is this: "The use
of CARE package service elimi-
nates purchase of food at retail
prices, the work of collecting and
packaging, railroad or shipping
costs, the necessity for filling out
declarations, etc. It is therefore .
felt that CARE provides the most
economical service.” These pack-
ages may be purchased In what-
ever quantity designated to the
order of "Brother Vandervis and or
Brother Phillips. The order should
be sent to New York, and it will
be air-mailed to Holland.
Then CARE'S representative will
deliver the quantity directly to
our missionaries for distribution,
ration free and duty free. Each

months; and likewise because we
have quite a bit of interesting
news from Holland to which all in- objectionable place,
terested parties are entitled.
5. A "GATHERING OF BE-
LIEVERS” DISCOVERED. On the
first Sunday In October the mls-
sionalres contacted a congregation
calling itself a "Gathering of Be-
lievers.” They sing hymns with-
out instrumental accompaniment,
baptise by Immersion, observe the
Lord’s supper, and contribute of
their means. This much Is scrip-
tural. But they have no elders and
deacons, because they think that
no one can be good enough to mea-
sure up to the qualifications laid
down in Holy Writ. And the bread
they use in the supper Is light
bread.
The fruit of the vine is poured
from a large container Into two
tin cups and passed to the con-
gregation. *R>eir prayers, Includ-
ing thanks for the bread and fruit
of the vine, are all offered while
standing. The men occupy the
front seats In the meeting place
while the women sit to the rear.
The men are served first with the
Lord’s supper, then the women.
Velvet sacks are passed to receive
the contribution. The Sunday Bre-
thren Vandervis and Philips were
present, the contents of one sack
was to go to mission work. Upon
Inquiring for more Information
and tracts, they were directed to
a preacher to The Hague.
The Impression gained from at-
tendance at this service was that
these folk, despite some of their
customs that seem rather odd to
us, are not far from the truth. Ef-
fort will be made to learn more
about them and to teach them, if
possible, the way of the Lord more
accurately on points where they
may differ from the teaching of
the scriptures.

Our information Is from THE
STONE FORWARDING COM-
PANY, Cotton Exchange Building,
Houston 2, Texas. They teil us that
steamship agents quote a rate on
cairned goods as follows: In strap-
ped cases, 96c per 100 pounds; to
cases not strapped, |1.15 per 100
pounds. There are two rates on
clothing: On used clothing, not
not personal effects, 45c per cubic
foot; on clothing, personal effects,
85c per cubic foot or 11.50 per 100
pounds, agent’s” option determin-
ing which. The forwarding charge
of THE STONE FORWARDING
COMPANY is 35.00 for each bill
of lading, plus 11.00 for preparing
and executing export declaration.
(Some steamship lines will accept
freight without its going through
forwarding companies, jut the In-
formation we have leads us to the
conclusion that the cost Is no
greater and that red tape for the
sender is not as great when send-
ing through forwardtag company.
We are not recommending any
particular company.
But the information we have
from a forwarding company to
from the one we have already
ruined.) The forwarding company
asks that the shipper furnish it
with type of contents, weight,
value,, and cubic measurements of
all shipments, and full bill of lad-
ing instructions for each separate
box or case. You win be furnished
proper blanks for this purpose up-
on request Packages should be
shipped direct to the forwarding
company, marked "FOR EK-
PORT.”
