ing here with his cousins, Mrs.
Earl Towner, Mrs. Wallace Me
Iver and Mrs. Allan Doyle, and
seeing the community in which
he was horn after an absence of
39 years.
Dr. Almquist, who is a medical
missionary to the Congo in the
Equator Province where he has

on C Street in Nome when Dr.
Almquist was born.
Dr. Almquist stated his parents

While in Alaska he is gathering
historical evidence of 75 years
missionary work which has been
done here by the Covenant Church

sionary groups in the state.
(He plans to return to the Con
go after his furlough ends and re
sume his medical missionary
work. He states that the Congo
lese have responded well to
Christianity with Catholics out
numbering the Protestants due to
the Belgian influence. The Catho
lic Church has contributed much
to the education of these people
with the Protestant churches, pro
viding most of the medical and
health aids so badly needed. When
many of the missionaries and doc
tors fled, Almquist remained and
was treated with respect in re
turn for the medical aid given.
While in Anchorage he was the
est of Rev. Paul Carlson, who
built the Covenant Church here.
