□ Many older orphans, like Nam Mee, are just learning how to play. Happiness, fun and play times are new experiences for them. Their memories contain no laughter. □ Refugee children, whose parents fled for their lives from Communist North Korea, are intimately acquainted with bitter cold, burning fever, gnawing hunger and wracking pain. They know what it means to sleep on the bare ground or in straw-thatched shacks where the rain leaks through and soaks thin clothing night after night, but they have not known happiness. □ For an orphan girl, under such conditions, life holds little prospect of anything better than menial drudgery, opium trafficking or prostitution but Nam Mee is one of

Q. In V.B.S. I notice that there is a theme for each department as well as an over-all theme. What is the purpose of this? A. The over-all theme, “God’s Word for My Life,” is clearly correlated with the departmental units.

All promotional and publicity materials are geared to the theme. A V.B.S. course can be a thrilling experience for you and all of your pupils enrolled. Q. Why not have one uniform course for all departments? It would, seem that such a plan would simplify the conduct of such a school. A. The ALL - BIBLE Courses are based on the principle of teaching each age group those portions of the Bible best suited to their under standing, interests, and spiritual needs.

How are Teaching Aid Kits to be used in V.B.S.? What do they con tain? A. Teaching Aid Kits are tailored for the Beginner, Primary, Junior, and Young Teen Departments. They contain a v a r ie ty of correlated teaching mediums, such as suede- backed figures, four-color pictures, charts, word cards, and maps — all
