Eight foreign students from four different schools prepared dishes from their home land and served them to their guests. However, the experience of tasting foreign foods was overshadowed by the blessing of coming in contact with these students, some who were mem– bers of other religions. Sushil Joseph of India and Hublall Sookman of Brit– ish Guiana both witnessed to the sav– ing grace of Christ. Miss Chung Sook Chu sang a Korean folk song. A heart stirring message was brought by Dr . Paul Jackson, president of Baptist Bible Seminary of Johnson City, N. Y. In the picture fron1 left to right are K arim Arbash, Kuwait Arabia, Win– fred Balraj, Tanjore, India, T etsuo Hoshino, Gifu City, Japan all of Wit– tenburg University; Mahin Behbehan– ian, Iran, Wilmington College; Dr. J ackson · Chung Sook Cho, Seoul, Ko– rea, Wittenburg U .; Sushil Joseph, In– dia, Asbury Theological Seminary; Erol Oktay. Turkey, Wilmington Col– lege; and Hublall Sookman, British Guiana, Cedarville College. The purpose of this annual event is to show friendship to foreign students and present Chris t to them. Pastor Glenn Greenwood reports that their visitation program has paid off and Stlnday school attendance is at an all time high. The six youth groups on Sunday nights now average a total of 100 plus. A newspaper heard of this ,1vork and came out to take pictures and get the story. L ater they came back to picture the nursery in action and gave another feature in the Sunday edition. SECOND BAPTIST, Cambridge "Rev. Benjamin Green of Clarksburg, W. Va., worker under the Fellowship of Batpists for Home Missions, was at our church April 10-17. He brought wonderful message on the life of Christ leading up to His crucifixion and resur– r ection. Our church was blessed by his messages."

We rejoiced to see ten souls come to the Lord ancl several others make known their de– sire to walk more closely with him. This is the second time Rev. Winters has been with us and his ministry is well received. We also enjoyed the min– istry of the Philadelphia College of Bible Chorale." - Pastor Wilfred Booth CEDAR HILL BAPTIST Clevelancl The Easter Cantata, "Olivet to Cal– vary," was broadcast in its entirety by WDOK on Easter Sunday night, direct– ly from the auditorium. This was a real tribute to the recognized worth of the Cedar Hill cl1oir. HEBRON JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUE'f The Hebron Junior-Senior Banquet, held at the Junior High School at Berea, May 13th was as one put it. 'a great, gala, gorgeous affair." Rev. Lynn Rogers of Northfield acted as chairman, the men of Berea and North– field served, and the women of Berea prepared the sumptuous dinner. The music during the dinner and the musical and vocal numbers on the program were excellent. The message was by Rev. Charles Hocking, missionary un– der Baptist Mid-Missions in Brazil. The theme verse was Matt. 6: 19, 20 and the programs and favors featured treasure chests loaded with jewels. One of the songs was fittingly, "A Child of the King." CALVARY BAPTIST, Bellefontaine Specials in April were the messages of Dr. Arthur Williams, Dean of men at Cedarville, April 24th. and the pictures and message of Rev. Gerald Barlow of the First Regular Baptist Church of the city on April 28th. He had recently visited British Guiana. Trinidad and Jamaica and gave and gave an interesting report of the mis– sionary needs and work on those fields. May 1-8 the Hi-Point Youth Crusade was held at the Armory, with Ev. Jere Brubaker in charge. Pastor Rosner and his peonle felt that this was a time of spiritual blessing for the young people of Bellefontaine and to his own church. FIRST BAPTIST, Parma Pastor Elliott Horton writes: "Bro Scott Andrews of our own church just conducted a very blessed meeting here. Rev. Andrews has conducted services in 23 GARBC churches and speaks reg– ularly at the City Mission. I recommend him highly to any church needing a supply or desiring an evangelist who will proclaim God's Word in power and with a compassionate heart." (Continued on page 13 )
