"Tagalog hymns and messages are so desired every night. Old age people are paying much interest to that part of the program. They keep watching for that hour of the radio. Many were enlightened about Jesus Christ as their personal Savior through the Bible studies and messages. They became more acquainted regarding Salvation through faith. May I be permitted to lend the radio to be used for the benefit of the prisoners of the Provincial Jail?"

Peraranda, Nueva Ecija

(another PM was sent for this purpose)

"It is with great pleasure to inform you that the Municipal Council of Villasis, Pangasinan, led by the Municipal Mayor, Atty. Isidoro came to my place and listened to the Sunday morning Broadcast over DZAS. They were followed by several friends including the Municipal Secretary and three members of the police force which constituted a group of at least 30 persons. The listeners were surprised how the little receiver is rendering a great service in bringing the whole world the words of God."

Piaz, Villasis, Pangasinan

Sometimes the little PM needs some technical work done on it

"Can you teach me not static this radio? Every night many peoples are like to hear but it does not works good. The people are interested to hear the messages in the radio, so I ask your pleasure to give me instruction concerning how to behave static. Well, I pray that the Lord give a good sound to this radio."

"I arrived in Mindoro May 25th. As soon as I arrived, I informed my neighbors and friends that I have a Radio receiver and they were so glad. I requested them to get two poles. Not long after they returned with them two poles. Then we began fixing it up. By and by many people came. There were some children who came and most of them were surprised why it is talking since they have not seen any person. For curiosity, they look around and peek in the Radio but they could not find any person. They are glad and interested to listen. They even miss their supper because of hearing the word of God. They wanted to know more about Jesus as their Savior."

Roxas, Mindoro

(The large island of Mindoro has no missionary)

This is from a nurse in Manila

"I have the honor to request that I be informed of how to enroll in your Bible School of the Air in view of the fact that I desire very much to take Bible lessons. I very well know that the Bible is the Book of books and that it is also the root of literature, but when I read it, I don't quite understand what it likes to say. I want to acquire a better comprehension of its messages, a better knowledge of the Word of God."

(RESPONSE TO THE BIBLE SCHOOL OF THE AIR HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. AT THE PRESENT WRITING THE ENROLLMENT IS 235.)
