Feeding the Hungry, P. C. Hiebert, 1929

xpected turn to him—he had little money, but he knew that some- PERSONAL REMINISCENCES Si, thing had to be done to satisfy the hungry people who wanted to know the why of the delay. He was getting his way and saving his official dignity, and so he agreed. We were not yielding any principle, so we were satisfied. Titov’s secretary was dispatched at once to round up the men, and in a few hours we had the satisfaction of seeing the unloading move along smoothly. In a few days the kitchens began to function. From that time Titov was quite reasonable. We never became great friends, but officially at least we were on good terms, able to talk together amiably, and agree as to what ought to be done to meet the great need that existed. Rev. B. F. Stoltzfus. Born at Emporia, Kansas, March 15, 1893. Graduate of Goshen College in 1917. He served eighteen months with the N.E.R. in Palestine. He then returned to America, but soon afterward the Mennonite Central Committee found in him a suitable man to fill the place of Orie O. Miller as director of the Relief Unit in Constantinople, and he sailed again from New York early in 1921. He had charge of the Con- stantinople work until it was closed in the spring of 1922, at which time all energies were being bent to help the brethren in South Russia. Mr. Stoltzfus was permitted to return home to his native land and friends after a term of faithful service. His heart being in the work for the unfortunates in the Near East, he was afterwards sent by the American Board of Foreign Missions, as mis- sionary to Bulgaria, where he is now Acting Dean of the Boys’ School, Sofia American Schools, Somokov, Bulgaria.

When asked to take up the work of bringing relief to the unfortunate brethren in Russia, Mr. Krehbiel was holding the position of trust as Field 338 FEEDING THE HUNGRY Secretary of the General Conference Mennonite Church. He sailed from New York on the S. S. Centennial State on February 21, 1922. During his stay of over a year he served very efficiently as supervisor of child-feeding in the Molotschna, and later, after the arrival of more Amer- ican help, he went to Alexandrowsk as general supervisor of the clothing distribution. After his return to America March 19, 1923, he again took up the work as Field Secretary of his conference. He has since been ordained to the ministry, through which the field of his usefulness has been widened, so that his Conference can more fully utilize his sterling qualities and intellectual attainments.
