Feeding the Hungry, P. C. Hiebert, 1929

orse, no relief in sight, until the fateful morning arrived, when they again all sat around the table for breakfast; but there was no bread, only a little thin malt-coffee. The silence that prevailed for a short period was broken by the pitiable appeal of the hungry little one, “Mother bread!” The ajdounjuejsuoy 38 oUulBIYQ 9Y4 Ur sUOFT S,UsIp[LYO ey} Jo Juspusajzutsedng SUIpseJ-P[[YD JO Aostaredng yorysiq pure TAHOVWIS “M YOAV I9UOT THOWIS MOOZ VISHA “SHIT ojdourjuejsuoy 4e@ sULOF{ S USO A, VSNJoyY UBISSNY oY4 JO JUopus}UTIOUNG NVWZULIVS HWAAVAM VUONIA SH ~~ Da I e[dourlzUBysuo;,) 4B UOINqLAysSIqg ZuIy{OTO JO Juspusjutsodng SNOW “HL 7 PERSONAL REMINISCENCES 361 tender heart of the loving parent could no longer be con- trolled, and the mother broke forth in sobbing and tears. This the father could no longer witness. He went out.. There was no human being to whom he might appeal, so he took his refuge “To the hills from whence cometh my help,” as he and his wife had often done before. God heard and sent relief from America, just in time to save this good family; and I trust that you who read this were one of those whom God used to supply the food to feed such in His Name. J. E. Brunk was born at Hagerstown, Md., March 7, 1888. Before going across for relief work he was a stu- dent at Goshen College, and also held the position of Dining Hall manager. Sailing from New York November 23, 1920, he went to Constantinople, joined our Unit there, and was assigned the special duty of superintending the distribution of clothing to the thousands of refugees that came to that city. He is now residing at Inwood, W. Va., and has charge of the canning factory of C. H. Musselman & Co., at that place. He is married and has five children. Howard C. Yoder was born near Smithville, Wayne Co., Ohio, on October 7, 1897. He was a student at Goshen College, Goshen, Ind., receiving his A. B. degree there in 1922. He then engaged in farming until he went to Russia. He sailed from New York on March 3, 1923, to help in the agricultural work of the A.M.R. in Russia. At first he assisted in supervising agricultural reconstruction in the Ukraine, but when Mr. Slagel returned home in the summer of 1923, Mr. Yoder took over his work at the Alexandrowsk office. He remained in charge there until that office was closed in the fall of 1924, and then returned, reaching New York on October 18, 1924. 362 FEEDING THE HUNGRY At present Mr. Yoder is living at Smithville, Ohio, and operating a large greenhouse near there—a business which has grown out of pioneer work in that field by his grandfather C. Z. Yoder. SUPPLYING Mucu NEEDED HorseEs H. C.
