tems cach evening. The choirs
have provided special choral num-
bers, as well as providing a back-
ground for the song service, each
evening of the etiort. Then we
think of the harmonious voices
of the SAUC Quartet, Alfonso
Mamora. Lawrence Chu, Robert
Tan and Ddmund Siagian. who
brought the theme song cach
evening.
The interest shown in the trun-
slated meetings by the Mandarin-
speaking public thus far has heen
guite good. Pastor Dan Guild is
being ably assisted by Pastor Jos
hua Chang at these meetings which
are running concurrently with the
Enghsh meetings, but on ditierent
nights. Pastor Joshua Chong 1s
head of the Chinese ministerial
training department. the students
of which are rendering valuable
help in the cffort. Helping in the
visitation of interested people are
Jerry Chang. pastor of the Singa-
pore Chinese Church, and minis-
terial interns Chin Kon Loi, Wong
Yew Seng. Chow Tham Swee. and
THE MESSENGER
Yap Yin Choong. As in the
English meetings. the ushering is
cheerfully carried out by the dea-
cons and members of the Chinese
Church. A group of ladies serve
as receptionists, charmingly attired
mm identical soft-colored  ¢heong-
sams. Brother Tang Lup Seng
discharges his responsibility very
well as chairman of the music
committee. while the Chinese
Church choir under the leadership
of Benny Liem faithfully renders
much necded musical help tor the
meetings.
With this issue of the MES:
SENGER goes our appeal to all
readers of this monthly organ of
the Scutheast Asia Union Seventh
day Adventist Church. tor thar
fervent and frequent pravers to
the Lord of the Harvest. We need
His continual blessing on these
meetings and the mighty Spinit's
presence to convict and convert
souls. The Lord has blessed our
ciforts thus far; we humbly trust
Fe will continue to do so.

The entire stafl of the South-
cast Asta Union was greatly sad:
dened recently by the death of
one of its members. Mr. Hutu
harat’s faithful and devoted ser

A number of relatives and
friends gathered to pay tribute

Pastor S. I. Chu read the tollow-
ing obituary at that time:
“Mangara  lisman Hutabarat

passed to his rest on March 24,
1939,
“He finished his elementary ed-
ucation in Sumatra in 1936. He
heard the advent message from
his father-in-law and was baptized
in Singapore in 1938 while study-
ing in the Malayan Seminary. He
graduated from Junior College in
1940 and was called to teach in
North Borneo in 1941. In that
vear he married Advent Flora
Manullang on May 15.
“He worked in Kuching and Jes-
selton trom 1941-1948. Since 1949
he has been working in the Voice
of Prophecy. He was always a
loving husband and father. He
eaves to mourn his loss his loving
wife, five sons and two daughters.”
Many other relatives and friends
