Torch, Summer 1989

) .j I l I "Sarah was the first one I ever kept company with. When she maneuvered me into proposing, I was scared stiff. After the wedding her pa took me aside and handed me a little package. 'Here is all you really need to know,' he said. 'And this is it.' " The man reached for a large gold watch in his pocket, opened it, and handed it to the reporter. There across the face of the watch where he could see it dozens of times a day , were written the words: "Say something nice to Sarah." Too simple to work? Just remember that great happiness is made up of little courtesies. It is also true that a lack of appreciation in small things may grow until it becomes a great divisive factor. Courtesy goes hand-in-hand with tolerance, and tolerance may be described as the virtue of being able to look at the facts of life with one's heart instead of one 's eyes. It can do much to help you get more out of life. It is one power for good within the reach of all of us that is often squan– dered. Invest in it and the returns will be soul-satisfying. "Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courte– ous ..." (I Peter 3:8). Reprinted by permission from World magazine.

T his summer 71 Cedarville College students are assisting missionaries on fields around the world through the Missionary Internship Service (MIS) program. They raised their own financial and prayer support and are serving in Australia, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, England, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Mexico, New Guinea, Philippines, South Africa, Spain, and West Gennany. In addition to those in the MIS program, four gospel teams are ministering throughout the United States and in Canada. O n June 7, 1989, four Cedarville alumni, who were teaching English at People's University in Beijing, China, left in the wake of the government's attack on Chinese students. Their departure and arrival home were reported by national news media. The four were Scott Morgan '88 of West Salem, Ohio; Diane Lichtensteiger '86 of Ohio City, Ohio; Jewel Schroder '86 of Duluth, Minnesota; and Julie Prentice '82 of Fisher, Illinois. Serving under Cedarville 's Educational Resources and Assistance Program for China, the group was accompanied out of China by Dr. Don Callan who was in Beijing to renegotiate Cedarville 's contract to provide teachers for People's University. T he Kresge Foundation has offered a challenge grant of $250,000 toward the construction of the William A. Brock Residence Hall. The College .will receive this grant if other gifts and commitments total $1,250,000 by December 31, 1989, and over $800,000 is already committed to the project. Perhaps God would lead you to help meet this challenge. A practical way to help is to fund the furnishings for a student room ($3,000) or for an individual student ($1,500). This is an excellent opportunity for memorial gifts to honor loved ones. For more information , please contact the Development Office, Cedarville College, P.O.
