Everyone speaks! But who lister ? It’s really an art to listen. Can you truthfully listen? Or are you always listening while tuned in ‘o your own selfish ideas and wh TVS. / nyway I’ll do some talking. Ye. . Nappanee is a “good”, a “ni e” town. But what is “good” and what is “nice”? What does W-: vster say about these words? Yc would get a different idea wi' 1 whomever you talked and hov was their experience in Nappa se. And we have to remembo • that Nappanee is people, not a t >wn. I’ve read once, “it’s easier to fight for your convictions th; i it is to live up to them”. He v can you live up to your convic ions if you don’t evgn know vvl t they are? I also was told by a speech professor that, “If you think you know something, jus try and tell it to someone else”.

I have been treasurer of the Nappanee Council of Religious Education going into the third year. Finances with any charitable program is a real struggle. And perhaps they should be; H. J. Kaiser once said, “problems are opportunities in workclothes”. Do you know the purpose of the Council? The main project of the Council is teaching Bible to children in the school. And boy! have we waded some legality hashes with this program! The Council used to sponsor a Community Vacation Bible Program, but then through churches disagreeing, it |-)rew into disagreeableness and the cooperative venture has been dropped. Who is on this Council? The constitution states: 1) Ministers actively engaged in pastoral or denominational duties in Nappanee or vicinity, who actively participate in the guiding of the religious life of the community; 2) Two lay members of each congregation elected or appointed by the governing body of each participating church; 3) The Superintendent of Schools; 4) Members at large may be elected by the Council, but not more than one from any one church. Do you know what kind of attendance we have at the meetings? Make it a point

to be there and you’ll see! Well, at least with some prodding, coaxing, begging, and asking, we are able to pay our bills and operate a $3500 budget. Did you know that Bible could even be included on the curriculum at our school and even be “ legal”. Thanks for listening. Wendell Metzler PS. I share these worthwhile words which hang in the office of a President of one of the large shoe companies. “Today, mend a quarrel, seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion, and replace it with trust. Give a soft antswer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forego a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Appreciate. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency. Express your gratitude. Go to church. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonders of the earth. Speak your love. Speak it again. Speak it still once again.
Box 1225 San Juan, Texas 78589 January, 1968. Dear Friends, This month has been busy as our language studies came to an end with a grammar test and the year-end activities of our class. It was difficult to say good-bye to our classmates, knowing that we might never see them again. They are going to various Latin American countries as Peru, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, and Ecuador. We shall never forget this past year of language study and the fine fellowship we enjoyed at the Rio Grande Bible Institute. , - Carlyle is gone right now for nearly two weeks with Bro. Miller to the mountains. They are helping Bro Gillette and Bro. Mac Miller with a week of a training school for the Christians at El Gate, Juarez, and La Purisima. Pray for the believers that this time of intensive training and teaching in the Word will bear fruit and establish them deeper in the Lord. This is the greatest need of the Christians in Mexico. Sis, Miller, Judy Yoder, Mom and I spent an afternoon making

Warsaw Choir To Present Concert At Mount Tabor The Warsaw High School Choir will present a concert of Sacred Music this Sunday evening at the Mt. Tabor Church, located six miles south of Nappanee, at 7:30 p.m. This will begin the 19th year, by the Warsaw High School Choir, of presenting sacred concerts in community churches. The Warsaw High School Choir is under the direction of Miss Margret Ann Voirol. There also will be the Bell Choir to perform during the service. The combined groups will be composed of about 75 students from the school. The concert will consist of the great sacred music taken from all countries and people. This will include the famous anthems and hymns of the Christian faith. It will be representative of all churches and will include some contemporary American composers. The pastor of Mt. Tabor Church, Darrell Prichard, urges all to be present to hear this outstanding high school choir this Sunday evening.
up baby bundles from the clothing we and the Millers have received. We have 22 ready to go. Bro. Miller and Carlyle took some down this trip as well as more clothing for the people. If any of you should like to help, here is a list of what we put into a bundle: 1 large crib blanket, 2 receiving blankets, 6 diapers, 2 navel bands (they still use these), 2 long gowns, 2 short gowns, 2 undershjrts, 1 pr. socks or booties, 1 cap, 2 pr. plastic pants, and 4 large safety pins. Many times if they do not receive this bundle, the mothers use rags and anything else to keep their babies warm and dry. We were happy to see Martin and Dorothy Hershberger of Goshen, Indiana again. And having my parents, Mary and Roman Mullet here is a treat. The Word says “For a great door and effectual is open unto me...” and we praise God for the open doors he has given us to serve him in Mexico. Do pray for us as now having completed the language course, we reach out to lost souls and share the “Good News” with them in their own

Carlyle and Freida Welty Dear Don: After thorough consideration, I have decided that I will not be a candidate for re-election for County Commissioner. In my opinion, I the responsibilities of the ofTice are ever increasing and reaching the point of a full time commitment. I feel the residents have a ' right to expect the maximum dedication of time the position requires. In looking ahead there is a question in whether I will have the necessary time to devote to this office. I would like

to take this opportunity to thank air the employees of the County, and residents as a whole, for their cooperation in' making Elkhart County a better place to live and raise our families. John W. Abshire Second District Commissioner Dear Sir: There were many good points in your article about helping people locally. But aren’t you setting up something which will take more of the responsibility away from the churches? It would then be easier for all of us to shift our duties onto another group. The problem is now that too many depend on welfare as it is, and we say “let the other guy do ot.” A Reader When you want a person to tell you how smart you are, first tell him how smart he is.

WOH-SU-MEE The Woh-Su-Mee Ku-Su-Da Camp Group met Wednesday, January 24, with 10 members and 3 visitors present. Refreshments were served by Pamela Yoder. The group, accompanied by their guardians, Mrs. Richard Wenger and Mrs. Jerry Lentz, visited the Children’s Museum at Mishawaka. Early American culture was viewed which showed many items used over a hundred years ago in South Bend area homes. The science exhibit was most fascinating, especially a buffalo skull. An authentic Inca sun dial was also of interest. The group enjoyed eating at a Burger-Chef before returning home.

D.E.N. There's a rumor that a persistent small group is still going to try to block the building of the new high school. ★ ★ ★ There was an article in a recent Chicago Tribune written by an educator, who said that too many °ducators forget that pub'ic schools belong to the public. The public, he said, is only brought into the education of the children when they're needed to sell a bond issue. ★ ★ ★ Everyone who has seen it says that the next Kiwanis travelogue ’s one of the most thrilling ever •> resented. It's "America —of Thee I Sing" on February 20. It's quite unique and with several special effects. We've been told by experts that we shouldn't miss it, nd that the young people should certainly try to see it. ★ ★' ★ Hope to have more in the paper 'afer about it, but we understand !nhn Coppes is ‘going to be a -novie star. He's to be on location next week. ★ ★ ★ We'll give ten dollars to the person (young or old) who writes us the best article on either Lincoln or Washington. Must be in our office by February 14. We'll print it on Washington's birthday. ★ ★ ★ Wayne Dunham and Joe Kindig played the famous Pebble Beach golf course last week without leaving Indiana. ★ ★ ★ Phone calls indicate that the ed’tor is in trouble again. In discussing a hope for local welfare help, the newspaper didn't intend to discredit the fine work which churches here are already doing, 'ertainly everyone knows of the good work of the veteran's organizations. Our main criticism is that there's* no coordination of this work. The very nature of Protestantism seems to be for everyone to go off in all directions.
