LET’S PUT LAUGHTER IN THEIR HEARTS!

Meropi is only seven years old. She comes from a Jewish family. Her mother accepted the Lord some three years ago, and is a fine Christian woman, who has' joined our refugee church at Lipasmata. Her husband has not yet accepted Christ, but he is kind and good to his wife and children. He does not prohibit or hinder them from coming to church and Sunday school.” Aspasia writes: "W e axe confident that this faithful Christian woman, Chris tina, will in due time lead her husband also to the Lord. They are extremely poor and they suffer for the lack of practically everything. They belong to the few Jews who survived the last War. There are less than three thousand Jews now in Greece. Their economy has been complete ly shattered, and these who are there con tinue to find life extremely hard in a land which itself has little to offer econom ically. Little Meropi attends the Sunday School faithfully, but of late she has been laid up for most of the time with a severe case of osteitis, a malady of the bones due largely to lack of proper nourishment.” Here is a wonderful opportunity to sup port and adopt this child, who loves the Lord, for only ten dollars a month. Then there is Popi Vretakou, who is nine years old. She is pale, thin, and older looking! All four in the family live in one room. Popi has a brother by the name of Nikos, who is twelve years old. The fa ther is out of work. They often go to bed hungry. Popi for some time has been run ning a low fever, and the mother tries to keep her in bed. But not on Sundays! She is in bitter tears if she cannot go to the Sunday School, which she loves more than anything else! Then she walks a long distance to get there.” Popi and Nikos were at the Camp last year, and were a great blessing to all. Shall we be able to send them this year also? They need good food and fresh air so much! This will depend on you. It will take twenty-five dollars for five weeks for each child, and fifty dollars for the two. There is, it seems, an infinite number of pressing needs in our ministry to Greece. W e would stagger under the load if it were not for your faithful cooperation in faith and prayer. You can make the burden lighter by supporting a child, by supplying a hungry soul with a Bible for only $1.00, or you may support a worker for his basic support for only $50.00 a month. However, the greatest need of this work is prayer — believing, earnest, and persevering prayer! W e are confident that as you pray, He will meet all our needs in His abundant way, according to Ephe sians 3:20. Send your contributions to this faith mission, Greek Evangelical Mission, Inc., K.

A monthly column of names in the news In New York, just before the cur rent Billy Graham crusade got under way, a leading Roman Catholic spokes man warned that Graham was “a danger to the faith.” The Catholic spokesman was the Rev. John E. Kel ley, director of the bureau of informa tion of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. He flatly said all Catho lics were forbidden to attend such services because Graham does not ac cept the Roman Catholic position of being the only true church. Death has taken Dr. Peter W. Phil- pott, 91. After leaving the Salvation Army in 1892, Dr. Philpott founded the Gospel Tabernacle in Hamilton, Ontario and later pastored such great churches as Moody in Chicago and Church of the Open Door in Los An geles. In more recent years he had been associated with the Rev. Oswald Smith of the Peoples Church, Toronto. In Glenside, Pa., the Christian Youth Cinema has announced its 7th annual Christian film awards.
