VOLUME 107, NUMBER 26<br />
This issue of THE ALLIANCE WITNESS<br />
contains Miss Edith M. Beyerle's final<br />
"Meditations in the Word."<br />
Miss Beyerle, who is convalescing in<br />
her Asheville, N.C., home after serious<br />
illness earlier this year, has but one regret.<br />
"I shall miss the many wonderful<br />
letters I have received down through these<br />
many years," she says.<br />
"These many years," believe it or not,<br />
have been nearly thirty-eight. She began<br />
editing the Mcditations page in February,<br />
1935.<br />
Miss Beyerle, the oft-quoted "Pameii"<br />
of the Meditations pagepameii is her<br />
Chinese name; she sewed in China from<br />
1916 <strong>to</strong> 1923-is not yet opting for uninterrupted<br />
leisure. "I am looking <strong>to</strong> the<br />
Lord for my next step," she says, adding,<br />
"but if I attempt any writing, there will<br />
be no deadlines!''<br />
I surely speak for thous<strong>and</strong>s of appreciative<br />
readers in expressing thanks <strong>to</strong><br />
Miss Beyerle for her faithful service.<br />
Next issue in this column we shall announce<br />
the successor <strong>to</strong> her "Meditations<br />
in the Word" page.<br />
