h •ggf/ THE EDITOR

To the Advance-News: We praise God for those who have recently accepted the Lord. One evening at El Realito three came to the altar; one of whom was the wife of the delegado (headman) of the village. At Empalme the Lord blessed several with the joy' of salvation. One, a young man, had not been able to completely surrender to the Lord but one evening he said a complete “yes” to the Lord and he was happy! Another, a young mother with serious home problems, came to the Lord and found real peace. Her husband is not a Christian, so pray for them. The four-day evangelistic services at Empalme were a great blessing as Bros. Rafael and Manuel, two of the Bible School students, ministered nightly to a full house. Many came to the altar to pray and two more were saved and others healed. The services were brought to a joyful climax with a baptismal service for nine from Empalme and two from El Realito. That evening in the final service, Bro. Manuel gave a word of encouragement to those who had been baptised and then the congregation welcomed them into the fellowship of the church. It was a precious moment as they embraced one another with tears of joy in the typical Mexican “abrazo”. Praise God for the fine nucleus of believers that is forming in this church. Each Christian has a wonderful testimony of how God has saved him or her. One brother found himself in jail before he was willing to give his life to Jesus. Others, in spite of great persecution by friends and family, have decided to follow the Lord. -Arm so they come, one

By one. Real trophies of the grace and power of God. Carlyle made another trip to the mountains holding four nights of services at San Rafael with excellent attendance nightly. Each service the people’s understanding and interest increased as they learned simple verses and choruses. Their knowledge of the Word is nil and so must be taught on the most elementary level just as one would teach a small child. Pray for these as they begin to grasp the truths of the Word that they too may come to know Jesus as Saviour. The Bible School students presented a choral program of Christmas songs at El Realito, Empalme and San Pedro which is a mission of the Prices. Everyone enjoyed the music and were blessed as Bro. Guevara, director of the Bible School, ministered each service. A special Christmas program, directed by Sis. Paz, was presented at both churches by several children from Empalme. Sis. Paz now has charge of the Children’s Bible Class at El Realito as well as the class at Empalme which she has been teaching since July. We certainly thank the Lord for her ministry with the children. A special thank you to all who contributed to the Christmas Literature Fund. We have already purchased reading materials and have ordered Bibles. May the Lord bless you for sharing in this great need. Also thank you for all the lovely cards and letters. We enjoyed and appreciated each one. Your prayers and interest mean so much to us. Wishing you all a Happy New Year, Carlyle and Freida Welty

Oak Grove Missionary Church is located 4 miles north and 4 miles west of Nappanee, on the • corner of Beech and Shively Roads. The church extends a cordial welcome to you. Willard Beron is the pastor. The Upper Room Read Corinthians 5:17-21 If any man be in Christ, he is anew creature: Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. “n Corinthians 5:17-21) The triggerfish, so named because the fins near the top of its head resemble the trigger of a gun, is possibly one of the most beautiful of highly colored fi§h. While it is in seawater, the colors are very striking; but when it is taken out of the water, it loses all its beautiful coifors in a few minutes. So it is with us. God created man in His own image. But when sin influences a person, it discolors his life, and he takes on the ugliness of that sin. Only in right relationship to God can man be most beautiful. Man can attain his real beauty by coming to Christ in humility and sincerity, and confessing his sins and asking forgiveness. If you and I repent of our wrong deeds, if we leave them and accept Christ by faith, we become new— more joyful in spirit and in outlook, more vital in our living. Prayer Dear Lord, help us .this day, people guilty of sins and shortcomings, to seek earnestly Your forgiveness. Cleanse us of- - sins that we may be reinstated in the family of God. In Your name we pray. Amen. . Thought- For The Day When we admit Christ into our hearts, we become new and renewed. R. C. SchWeiger (British West Indies)
