Staff missionaries aboard the 'Faithful Light'

From the article 'Floating Chapels on Crowded Waterways, the story of the Oriental Boat Mission' in the magazine, The Sunday School Times, February 14, 1959.

 

On June 29, 1957, a new boat called Faithful Light and replacing the Morning Star, was dedicated.  It was bedecked with red, white, and blue banners, and the event was a festive and triumphant one.  Hundreds of friends attending sang with the missionaries, the Rev. and Mrs. William Kinkade, "Send the Light, the Blessed Gospel Light," as Mrs. Kinkade cut the ribbon.
