Canadian Union MESSENGER Volume XLIV, No. 6 � Oshawa, Ontario March 30, 1975 Famine Relief Donations — May 10, 1975 I Visited the Third Hungry World By C. E. GUENTHER, Associate Secretary, Lay Activities Department General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists For the fifth time in two decades 1 travelled through Asia. It is the greatest of the continents, with the largest land mass, the most people, and the deepest human need. Asia is a major part of the third world — the world of developing nations, of the poor and sick and hungry. After four visits one might expect an immunity to sights of suffering. Not so! Families living and dying on city streets, rickshaw men of skin and bones pulling unbelievable loads, aged persons lying prone in the dust gasping for breath, children begging for bread — they are all there, only more of them. My mind, body, and soul were shocked repeatedly. Theirs is not the same world we live in. It is an entirely different place, a differ- ent way of life — more accurately, of existence. I remember the slender girl, perhaps ten, at the railway sta- tion. Her hands were outstretched to me in a gesture of want. I was eating lunch at an open window. The remaining vegetable patty on my plate went into her hands, and pocket, as she walked off with a grateful smile. Another passenger passed a banana through the barred window. Those bars seemed to be symbolic — the barrier between their world and ours. Only we, not they, can cross it. I think of the boy who picked from the dust a discarded banana leaf after its use as a dinner plate. His tongue licked it hungrily for the drops of sauce remaining. A veteran missionary told me that pigs and monkeys are the only animals who eat banana skins and only once had he seen a cow touch them. Yet he had seen a man pick up banana skins thrown out of a train window and gulp them down. Hunger — unbelievable, desperate, overpowering, gnawing. "There shall be famines." They have come to this world in full force, in worldwide dimensions. Never have so many been so hungry, especially in the third world. What can we do? What must Christians do? Is our Christianity real? Will it work? Is the Seventh-day Adventist belief a faith that works in love? We must be doing something — now. Adventists may wish to choose one of the following ways of sharing with a hungry world through SAWS (Seventh-day Ad- ventist World Service): 1. Skip one meal each week. 2. Eat one meal less, daily. 3. Fast one day a month. 4. Eliminate desserts. The money thus saved can be deposited in a SAWS bank to enlarge our relief offering. Jesus said, "If any will come after Me, let him deny himself and follow Me." Here is a practical application, test of the Christian religion. SAWS is organized to take, multiply, and deliver your help to the third world, where it is needed most and will do the most good. WHAT SAWS HAS DONE What has SAWS done in 1974 and early 1975 to aid the vic- tims of disaster and famine? An epidemic of meningitis raged in Sao Paulo, Brazil, taking 2,000 lives. A telephone call came to SAWS, Washington, stat- ing that the specific medicine needed for treatment was no relief Canadians share in the help shown above. Through our offerings for famine MI IMITEP 131‘f THE PEOPLE OF EN � STATES OF OF Q-z e Ta,N longer available. Within 24 hours SAWS had 10,000 capsules of the medicine on the way by air to our hospital. An additional 160,000 doses were subsequently sent by air. An earthquake shook Lima, Peru, killing 100 persons, leav- ing 4,000 families homeless. The first cable received by a govern- ment agency in Washington (US AID) stated that SAWS (OFASA in Peru) was distributing eight tons of food to vic- tims. A famine spread through North Central Africa, known as the Sahel area. SAWS sent a specialist to one affected country, Ethiopia, to help organize a food distribution program. It is still under way. A SAWS agricultural scientist was sent to sur- vey the needs of other Sahel countries. The result is an irrigated crop production project in Chad, to extend at least 31/2 years and to involve $398,000, the largest share of the funds coming through grants from other agencies. War in South Vietnam left 424,000 orphans of fathers killed in service. SAWS, Vietnam, is caring for approximately 1,000 of these orphan children, supplying them with foster families, food and clothing. Widows receive help to set up small shops and businesses. Orphan children receive church school tuition through individual sponsorships. Now SAWS, Vietnam, is ask- ing for help to provide vocational training that will prepare orphans for self-support through trade skills. Many other relief activities are described in a four-page journal, the SAWS Reporter, 1975 edition. Copies will be dis- tributed free, one to each family in every church not later than Sabbath, May 3. A detailed report of 1974 SAWS relief shipments is included. Approximately 50 countries were aided with clothing, bedding, food, and medicines. It is to the hungry of the world that the church through SAWS must address its efforts in 1975-76. The words of Emily Dickinson express the feelings of the compassionate heart: "If I can keep one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, . . . 1 shall not live in vain" Man's inhumanity to man is his greatest sin. Man's humanity to man is his greatest virtue. Let all Seventh-day Adventist Christians join on Sabbath, May 10, to demonstrate in one great hour of sharing, we are good neighbours of the world in hunger and need. A million dollars is not too much when millions are hungry and starving. "Wits' End Corner" Are you standing at "Wits' End Corner," Christian, with troubled brow? Are you thinking of what is before you, And all you are bearing now? Does all the world seem against you, And you in the battle alone? Remember — at "Wits' End Corner" Is just where God's power is shown. Are you standing at "Wits' End Corner"? Your work before you spread, All lying begun, unfinished, And pressing on heart and head, Longing for strength to do it, Stretching out trembling hands? Remember — at "Wits' End Corner" The Burden Bearer stands. Are you standing at "Wits' End Corner," Are you standing at "Wits' End Corner"? them out."

DE HAVEN, Youth Director, Canadian Union Conference Under the able direction of Pastor Lloyd Erickson, Youth Di- rector of the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Conference, ten glorious days of blessings were enjoyed by Pastors Charles Watson, World Temperance Associate Director, Ron Hoover, Bible In- structor from Monterey Bay Academy, and Winston C. De Haven, Youth Director for the Canadian Union, as they trav- elled throughout the conference. The Lord richly blessed His ambassadors with cold but beautiful weather, safe travelling on clear roads, and meetings throughout the conference that were well attended. (The meet- ing in Regina was especially a thrill because there were more than 90 people braved a blizzard in order to attend!) The tour began in Swift Current and ended with the Youth Leaders' weekend in Yorkton. Other cities visited were Winni- peg, (where the Youth Leaders' Convention was held the first weekend), then on to Portage La Prairie, Regina, Moose Jaw, and Saskatoon. In addition, the group was very much pleased to be able to visit the elementary schools and to get acquainted with teachers and students in Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon and Yorkton. As God's ambassadors, we thank Him for "showers of bless- ings" which we mutually shared with the hundreds who attended the meetings.

Maritime First SDA Program in Antigonish, Nova Scotia By DON JOHNSON, Pastor, New Glasgow Church, N.S. Recently a Five-day Plan was held in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. We had an ex- cellent attendance the first night of 130. There were 93 smokers who registered. Seventy-four per cent of these quit. This was the first time that an S.D.A. program was ever conducted in Anti- gonish. It has a population of 5,000 of which 99% is Catholic. Mr. Laurie Mosher. Mrs. G.

Ingathering Supper — January 26 Twenty-four Ingathering ribbons were awarded to solicitors of the Tantallon Church at the Ingathering Victory Supper held on January 26. Pastor D. Crook awarded the ribbons, assisted by Lay Ac- tivities Leader Vernon Redmond. A serv- ice award went to Brother Don Soper of the Halifax Church who assisted with the driving. Six of those receiving rib- bons were from the Earliteen group. It is heartwarming to see these young people taking part in this important part of the Master's work. One minute of silence was observed in memory of Mrs. Melvin Longard who was killed while Ingathering on November 16, 1974. Sister Longard was one of our faithful workers, and is sorely missed in our small congregation. After the delicious supper had been served and the ribbons awarded, films were shown by Pastor Crook. Total Ingathering to the end of Janu- ary was $1,189.00. Our thanks to the Royal Canadian Le- gion for the use of their hall again this year, and to Brother D. Soper, Sister V. Covey, and Pastor and Mrs. Crook for their help. May God richly bless each faithful worker. Just To Be Glad Just to be glad I am living, Just to be glad is sweet; Just to be glad for my loved ones, And for friends whom we meet. Just to be glad for the sunshine, And for the thunderstorms too; Glad for the calm of twilight And for the morning's fresh dew. Glad in life's bitter-sweet sorrows. Glad for the comfort God sends. Glad for the hope of reunion Ours, when earth's happiness ends. Just to be glad! What a blessing! Joy divine floods our way, Driving away every sorrow, Brightening the loveliest day. Father, the giver of gladness, Hearts of thanksgiving we raise, Asking for lives filled with sweetness, Gratitude, gladness and praise. Merlin G.

Manitoba-Saskatchewan New Workers in the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Conference By S. H. GALLANT, Secretary, Lay Activities Department Due to Pastor Wilf Michaels' move from Canora to Maple Creek, Pastor Rauno Helppi was invited to serve as the pastor for the district of the four churches, Canora, Hazel Dell, En- deavour and Hudson Bay. Pastor and Mrs. Helppi come to us from Andrews University where Rauno completed his M.A. degree, prior to that of receiving his B.A. in Theology at Cana- dian Union College. Born in Finland, Pastor Helppi lived an unusual life, but in 1959 he found his Lord and rejoices with Him to this day. Mrs. Laina Helppi, also a native of Finland, received her education in Toivonlinna College in Finland, then completed at Newbold College in England and trained as a Bible Worker which was a part of her work until she was married. While at Andrews University she took Nutrition, preparing herself in leading out in cooking schools. Brother and Sister Helppi have been blessed with two beauti- ful children, Marja age 12 and Kaarina age 10. While living in Canora, both are attending Yorkton Church school travelling 60 miles return trip by bus in order to get Christian Education. We wish God's blessing to Pastor and Mrs. Helppi and their family as they work together for the Lord and endear themselves to the hearts of the people. Pastor Olav Falsnes, native of Norway, as a teenager joined the Norweigan Airforce where he served for four years, first as an engineer then a pilot and last of all flying in search and rescue. At the age of 15, Brother Falsnes had his license for flying gliders and at 17 he received a license to teach how to build wooden airplanes. Leaving the airforce, Brother Olav found a better way of life and followed his Lord in baptism. Going to Newbold College in England where he began his studies in Theology, then coming to Canada, Pastor Falsnes spent some years in the aviation industry. Again God spoke to his heart saying, "Olav — the Ministry"; immediately he at- tended Canadian Union College. Completing his theology, he accepted a call to the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Conference and is presently in one of our most northerly cities, living in Thomp- son, Manitoba. Plans are being made to build a hangar there in the Spring and Pastor Olav will be our flying Pastor for the North country where much work needs to be done. His good wife, Mrs. Gloria Falsnes, by birth a South-African, graduated from Newbold College in 1962 where she completed her studies as a Bible Instructor and became a Bible worker in Scotland with the British Union Evangelistical Team. Pastor and Sister Falsnes have two beautiful children, Carl, 6 and Sonya, 4. We do pray for God's blessing upon this family as they have dedicated their lives for the work of the Lord in the North, that their reward may be many souls for eternity. v.4v-0,.6"..6"K4• "Religion must begin with emptying and purifying the heart, and must be nur- tured by daily prayer. "The steady progress of our work, and our increased facilities, are filling the hearts and minds of many of our people with satisfaction and pride, which we fear will take the place of the love of God in the soul. Busy activity in the mechanical part of even the work of God may so occupy the mind that prayer shall be neg- lected, and self-importance and self-sufficiency, so ready to urge their way, shall take the place of true goodness, meekness, and lowliness of heart."—"Testimonies," Vol. 4, p. 535. uOnte,"' � GntG-x.0.4x6-•••~-46-40-..G-,.4v- VoL. 44, No. 6, MARCH 30, 1975 � 117 "s/ Pastor and Mrs. C.

Appropriate speeches and a gift were given in the Wessmans' honour. Alberta Memories of the Alberta Conference Workers' Meeting Held at Foothills S.D.A. Camp —February 25 and 26, 1975 By (MRS.) ENID HANDS, Conference Office Secretary Dr. E. Stanley Chase, President of Medicine Hat College, brought the morning devotional. He challenged embryonic and seasoned ministers alike to a deeper relationship with God. Quotations not easy to forget were: "The men of prayer are the men of power." "Time spent with God is time gained." One of the secrets of working with people, Dr. Chase had found through his years of experience, was to show genuine love and concern in our interpersonal relationships. The senior ministerial students from Canadian Union College joined the group for the morning session. Elder Darren Michael of the Union Conference staff and a practicing lawyer from Toronto, brought some significant thoughts on special aspects of the law as they relate to a minister. Adventist ministers were admonished to be careful about the impressions they make in their business contacts. The new G.C. Lay Activities Film. "It's a Great Family" was shown. Small discussion groups then analyzed what the film had meant to them personally. In the "sum-up" period two conclusions seemed to predominate. ( I ) That to share your faith you must first of all have it yourself. You must have Jesus in your own life before you can share Him with others. (2) Our relationship with Christ is strengthened only as we share Him with others. 118 (See next page) CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Memories Alberta Workers' Meeting (Continued) Pastor Don Melashenko, Associate � Conference Evangelist, instead of his usual role of helping Christ make clean hearts, tries his hand at making clean dishes. Braunberger Is Honoured On Novgmber 27, 1974 a birthday party was held in honour of Mrs. Maria Elisebeth Braunberger's 102nd birthday. Family and friends gathered at the Drum- heller Nursing Home to sing some of her favourite hymns. Mrs. Mary Leiske and Mrs. Alice Stern sang several songs in the German language and in English. Mr. Elmer Schaber read her favourite Scrip- ture, Psalm 19. The Honourable Gorden Taylor, M.L.A., read the many telegrams and letters from such dignitaries as Prime Minister Trudeau, Mr. Stanfield, Mr. Schumacher, M.P., Premier Lougheed, Mr. Warner Schmidt, and Mayor Francis Porter. Mr. Taylor then gave a very in- teresting and fitting speech. Mrs. Braun- berger was presented with a plaque from the Province of Alberta.

West, M.D. Director of Medical Education Insight Magazine Launches Operation Comeback M.V. Sabbath, March 8, marked the beginning for Operation Comeback, an earnest program to reclaim discouraged and backslidden young people. For the past year and a half, the staff of INSIGHT magazine and the Review and Herald Periodical Department have studied, prayed, and planned in order to develop an entire system for presenting Christ again to the disillusioned. Here is how it works: Church pastors, with help from youth workers and laymen, draw up a list of these youth. In most conferences, the church, the local conference, and the Union share equally the cost of a one- year subscription to INSIGHT magazine for each name. INSIGHT has planned a whole series of issues to reach out to their hearts and minds. Then, people who care will visit to listen and discuss — IN- SIGHT will be a conversation-starter and will provide topical material. Already in the Southern Union, one church has begun Operation Comeback. As they compiled their list, forty-two young people were remembered whom they hope to reach, young hearts eager to know that someone is interested in them. Has Operation Comeback been intro- duced already in your church? It's the best way we can think of to reach out to those young people who used to sing in the choir, and whose customary places in your church's pews are now empty. If this is the first time you've heard of Op- eration Comeback, ask your pastor or church youth leader about it. Show the young people of your area that someone cares.

ALETHEA MUSTARD Communications Secretary Kingston Church HORSLEY — Mrs. Emily Horsley was born in Ireland, August 17, 1883, and died in Chilliwack, B.C., October 29, 1974 at the age of 91 years. She was married December 1914 and home- steaded in Alberta, 60 miles northwest of Ed- monton. Three children were born to them there. Through the efforts of two evangelists the Horselys became Seventh-day Adventists some- time in 1918 or 1919. They sold their homestead and Sister Horsley returned to England with their children while Brother Horseley went to Canadian Junior College to study for the minis- try. Because of adverse circumstances he had to give it up and returned to his family in England. In 1928 the family moved to Chilliwack where they lived on a 20-acre stump ranch. Of the seven children, one girl, Grace, died in infancy; two became teachers, Mrs. I. (Ellen) Corbett of Hope, B.C., and Mrs. G. (Mabel) Ewart of Duncan, B.C.; and four sons, Irwin of Toronto, Tom of Los Angeles, California, Ernie of Boston, Mass., and Ted of Colorado attended Loma Linda University and all became doctors and specialists in their respective fields. Sister Horsely was predeceased by her husband Herbert in 1954. Mourning her death are her children, 23 grandchildren and 7 great-grand- children. She was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Hope, B.C., in the certain hope that her grave will be opened by the One she loved and knew to be her Saviour. MATT WESTSTRATE, Pastor Hope SDA Church ZAPARANUK — Katie Zaparanuk was born April 24, 1889 in Bukovina, Austria, and fell asleep in Jesus December 17, 1974 at the age of 85. She came to Canada with her parents when she was 11 years old. The family settled in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 1911 she was married to Wm. Zaparanuk in Hampton, Saskatchewan and some years later they moved to the Foam Lake area Since the death of her husband in 1956 she made her home with her daughter, Jean Piluk, in Foam Lake. In 1920 Sister Zaparanuk and her husband bought a "Bible Readings" from John Hnaty- shyn, and as a result she and several members of the family joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church by baptism. Sister Zaparanuk was predeceased by her son, John in 1939, and her brother, John in 1972. She leaves to mourn three sons and four daughters: Matt of Loma Linda, California, Fred of Toronto, Ontario; Alex of Regina, Saskatchewan, ( Anne) Mrs. Mike Zachary of Sandy Lake, Manitoba; (Jean) Mrs. George Piluk of Foam Lake, Sas- katchewan; (Marie) Mrs. Henry Koleda of Loma Linda, California, and (Doreen) Mrs. Mike Gramyk, of Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

She is resting in the hope of meeting those that were dear to her, when her Lord returns in glory. ARTHUR HIEBERT, Pastor Yorkton, Saskatchewan A Pioneer Worker Passes Away FORSHAW — Walter George Forshaw was born May 20th, 1883, in Surrey, England. With his younger brother the two immigrated and hired out as farm hands near Kilarney, Manitoba. At the age of 23 in the city of Regina Walter attended a gospel tent meeting where Seventh- day Adventists were conducting an evangelistic effort. A subsequent series of studies brought more light and in the summer of 1906 he was baptized in the Regina Lake and received into the Seventh-day Adventist Church by Elder F. H. Conway The rest of the summer and fall of 1906 were spent in selling Bible Readings for the Home Circle in Regina and working in the harvest field. He returned to Manitoba to enter Portage-la- Prairie Academy for further Bible study. In 1912 Walter was married to Stella I. Rowse. That same year he received a ministerial li- cense and held evangelistic meetings in various parts of the Saskatchewan Conference. In 1916 he was ordained to the Gospel Min- istry by Pastor E. W. Farnsworth of the General Conference. A call came to head the Bible and History Departments at Battleford Academy and there he taught to the end of the 1918-1919 school year. In the late summer of 1919, Walter revisited his parents, brother and sister in Eng- land. There he was invited to labour in the South England and Welch-Midland Conferences as Evangelist and Secretary of the Sabbath School and Young People's Missionary Volunteer Department until the end of 1921. A call by the Western Canadian Union Con- ference to Rest Haven Sanitarium and Hospital as Chaplain, Pastor and Assistant to the Busi- ness Manager brought about Walter's return to Canada in 1922. His life was gravely threatened during sickness and he had to retire from active denominational service for an indefinite period of time. Taking his family along, he journeyed to Southern California to be under the professional care of old friends and fellow labourers, Doctors Tru- man and Parrett. Returning health permitted Walter to assist the local pastors in ministering to the churches in Bellflower and LaHabra, Cali- fornia. In 1929 the Stock Market had crashed and ushered in the great depression. Conferences were decreasing, not increasing their staffs of workers. In the providence of God, however, a temporary sales job opened in the Northwest Cities Gas Company. Through the depression and subsequent years he assisted the pastors of College Place and sur- rounding churches in their ministry. In 1938 Walter's companion of 25 years fell asleep peacefully to await the Lifegiver's call. Later in the providence and plan of God a new friendship was made, leading to the uniting in marriage with Helen Burch on Oc- tober 25, 1939. Helen had spent 16 years in faith- ful, consecrated Christian service in Conference and Union Conference offices. In the words of Walter himself, "All that a good wife should be my beloved companion is to me." In recent times health problems necessitated nursing-home care. He passed to his rest on Fri- day, November 1, 1974, at the age of 91 years. He leaves behind a beloved and loving com- panion, Helen; a devoted daughter, Mrs. Ruth Dockham of Eagle Bend, Minnesota; 11 grand- children, 11 great-grandchildren, a number of nieces and nephews, and many loyal friends. He awaits the call of Jesus in a time soon to come, when those who have died in their Lord shall rise to live forevermore. COOPER — On September 12, 1974 the Windsor church lost a life-long member in the person of Mrs. Lila Cooper. For more than ten years she suffered from various ailments which confined her to her home but in spite of them she wrote a few days before her sudden death to her friend Mrs. Kuester these courageous words: "Last January I never thought I would get to the end of the year, and here it is September, so God is good and my faith in Him is strong. Heaven is not far away. . . I want a home there." Born in Windsor on July 12, 1908, Mrs. Cooper was eight years old when the Windsor church was organized. She watched it grow from a congregation of 20 to over 200 and knew every minister that had pastored the church. As a young girl she worshipped in Windsor's first church, the Howard Avenue Mission, and attended the Moy Avenue Church from the time it was first occupied until she was incapacitated. Mrs. Cooper is survived by her husband Clar- ence, one son Arthur of Windsor, her aged father David Geauvreau, one brother Ellsworth Geauvreau of Vancouver, B.C., three grand- children and one great-grandchild. The funeral service was conducted by Elder Eric Juriansz assisted by Wm. Glenn. At the service the fol- lowing poem, enclosesd in her last letter was read as an expression of her inmost self : I'd rather have one little rose From the garden of a friend Than all the choicest flowers When this weary life must end. I'd rather have one pleasant word In kindness said to me Than flattery when my heart is still And life has ceased to be. I would rather have a loving smile From friends I know are true Than tears shed 'round my casket When to this world I bid adieu. Bring me all the flowers today Whether pink or white or red I'd rather have one blossom now Than a truckload when I'm dead. Our sister was laid to rest in the Victoria Lawn Cemetery, there to await the call of her Saviour. ERNEST MONTEITH ZELLES — Victor Zelles was born on November 12, 1928 at Angle Lake, Alberta. and passed to his rest on February 2 in Edmonton at the age of 46. About two years ago Victor and his wife and son Marvin accepted the message of the "THREE ANGELS of Revelation 14" and became loyal members of the Edmonton South, S.D.A. Church. Brother Zelles loved the truth of the Word of God dearly and took every opportunity to witness to others of the saving grace of the Lord Jesus. He served the church as one of its deacons.

Miss Noble had been ill for some time and had been residing at the Heritage Nursing Home in Toronto since April, 1973. She had attended the then Oshawa Missionary College 1920 and had also done some colporteur work at that time. It is felt that Miss Noble joined the church about 56 years ago although our records show she came in by letter October 29, 1949. Our dear sister was Sabbath School Extension leader for many years and although she did not have transportation of her own, visited hundreds of homes all over the city, commuting by bus and street car. On Sabbath thirty-three years ago, Miss Noble met Miss Ida Agar on her way to the old Awde St. Church. These sisters became very dear friends. They attended church together and enoyed many years of Camp Meetings staying on the campus. Miss Agar and Mrs. R. Bottomley visited our dear sister as often as possible when she was in the nursing home. Pastor D. J. Donesky conducted the funeral service and the interment was at the Prospect Cemetery. Miss Noble is resting in Jesus and peacefully awaits the call of Jesus to come forth and be made whole again, to a heaven where all pain and illness will be forever forgotten MRS.

Funeral services were conducted by Pastor R. A. James in the Cropo Funeral Chapel. In- terment took place in Old Kildonan Cemetery RUDY JAMES, pastor The news commentator spoke of floods in the South. He moved into the political arena of taxes, inflation, and recession. His eyes shuttled only from copy to cam- era, copy to camera. But for hundreds of people watching the screen he wasn't even there. Sharing half of the tube was an- other man, his lips moving swiftly but uttering no sound, his hands rapidly form- ing graceful characters in motions. His audience, the deaf, for whom the com- mentator's spoken words had no mean- ing. In North America alone there are 1,700.000 people who cannot hear. Last year the press across North Amer- ica grew black with headlines reporting an "uprising" among the Indians just south of the Canadian border in the mid- west. It was not the only hot spot among the Indians of the nation. Elsewhere Indians protested beach pollution, inter- MOFFATT — Mrs. Helga Moffatt was born in Fargo, North Dakota, on March 19, 1886.

From Miami to Toronto a flow of peo- ples of many tongues has sent population figures skyrocketing and created a babble of voices that has its antecedents in a great and ancient tower. They are often lonely, confused, and desperately in search of security. In North America there are some 30,- 000,000 people who do not speak the English language. Often comprising a nation within a na- tion are a people who long years ago in a distant land were called God's chosen people. They often move within their own tight circles, preserving their ancient tongue and at the same time dominating don, at the age of 98 years The funeral service was conducted by the writer who reminded everyone present that though we were mourning the loss of a sister in Christ, we could then be comforted in the knowledge that this was the moment for which she had for some time been praying. Physically weary for some years and blind, she looked forward to the resurrection day when she would awake to eternal day and her eyes would be opened to see her Saviour. What a wonderful day that will be! What a wonderful Saviour we have!
