"A little piece of tring o big?" (Always these are to be found upstairs when we are down and vice versa). Weekends, M.K. double the tempo around the Big House, looking for fun and an outlet for their boundless energie , o we work and play together chore , picnics, swim·3, game . Finally the week end with preparation of Sunday School lessons for our even who teach, and a great wa bing, cur- 1 ing, polishing, and manicuring for the big family of 23 ! Yet without spiritual power, all thi labor i in vain! How can we labor "by Hi s direction and in Hi way"? Fir t every ta k, no matter how lowly, must be done for love of Him and unto Him. And then, not for a moment dare we forget that we are constantly forming (God keep u from deforming) 21 live en tru·3 ted to our care! So the checking of chore , pcr- onal habits ,personality traits, be– come a 'line upon line, precept upon precept'' mini try. Regarding it thu , we find our eye lifted from the commonplace to the divine, a we yearn to ·3ee Christ formed in each one. In thi mini try you hare!

Earl Carlberg on furlot1gh, ·-- erving with A.B.W.E., was our mi - ionary peaker for the day. She pre– ented the work in the Philippine and a.cquainted us with some of the problem in rearing and educating mi ionary children on foreign soil. We went away better taught how to pray for our mi·s ionarie and their chi ldren. Mr . Glenn Greenwood brought a devotional message, haring portion of the Word from Phil. 1, and al o hared ome experiences of her re– cent tri,p to India. The music was wonderful and pre– pared our hearts to receive the chal– lenge of the Holy Spirit in the ' 'Fel– lowship in the Gospel". We need each , other that we might stand together both at home and abroad - faithful in tJhe Gospel - until He comes. The workshop wa'3 quite unique, informative and interesting under the capable direction of Mr . Kenneth Rom,ig our vice president. She wa as i ted by Gladys Baines Delbert Geer and various church groups with di plays all over the audi torium. Truly you miS';"'ed a lot if you were not there.
