Audrey Featherstone, I Presume?
In Gods dealings with Audrey Featherstone, an ordinary lady, we see how he can take a nobody and use her for his glory and the extension of his kingdom. Gordon M. Guinness in his foreword to Elizabeth Pritchards work For such a time, speaking of the Regions Beyond Missionary Union (RBMU), Audreys mission, says, Although there are great figures in the story, like Henry Grattan Guinness and F. B. Meyer, for the most part it is the account of what God had done with ordinary people, who dared to take Christ at his word and to follow him faithfully, whatever the consequences, in the power of his Spirit.

Teaching Machines
How ed tech was born: Twentieth-century teaching machines--from Sidney Pressey's mechanized test-giver to B. F. Skinner's behaviorist bell-ringing box.
