— Bishop Ray Wenger, missionary at Mugango, Tanganyika Territory, East Africa, died there Saturday, June 9, as result of heart attack after an illness of four days. Because of the climate, the funeral was held as soon as possible on the following day. Missionaries from the surrounding district attended the sad but challenging service. A memorial service for Bishop Wenger was arranged also at Mellinger's church at Lancaster, Pa., to be held Sunday afternoon, June 24.
