WelJ , it woul d certainly be better t,han ·having the e little girl roaming the tree t and looking at the po ter in front of the neighborhood theater! After prayerful con ider a tion and co n ultati on, Mr . R ing ·a ked the ,girl if they wou ld be inter e ted in a real working mi ·ionary group. Every one wa agreed and ent·hu ed about it. After the meeting tarted in April . 1963, the age were from 9 to 12, but a older and yo unger i ter wanted to atten(i the age r anged from 7 to 15 year . Then, becau e a Juni or cho ir wa to rehear e on alternate Sa tL1r– day we began meeting on the oppo ite Saturday , and it all worked out fin e. The older girl wanted to learn to knit, o yarn and needle wer e upplied for them . The girl h ave becon1e quite adept at rolling band age . too. A carton of bandage ha been ent to the Spieth· with another carto n ready to be ent, and a third one almo t full. There are ever a l pa ir of little knit bootee ready. The n1eeti ng are informal with ea y di CLI ·io11 · and e c hange of idea · abou t thing n1i ionary . After Scripture reading and comn1ent , a n1i ionar 1· tory or two are read, an<l Teacher or an older girl que tion · ab u t the stor y.
