Creative retirement conference underway at Epworth Forest
“It’s an attempt to bring retired people together and help them to know they have value," stated Rev. Ross-Richey pastor of the Leesburg United Methodi si Church, about the creative retirement conference, September 4-7, at Epworth Forest, North Webster. The conference is a Methodist program. The conference, according to Richey, dean for this year's program, is basically for the Methodist Church. “It is not intended to exclude others,” remarked Richey. Aproximately 30 retired people will be staying on the grounds with many of the local people WRITE YOUR OWN BIBLE “You can’t live without eating, and I can’t live without the Word of God,” says Helen Needham, a retired teacher from Chicago. Right now she is writing her own paraphrase of the Bible—not with the idea of ever having it published, but as a study aid, to help her get the most of God’s Word. “I take some Scripture and write what it means. This really is informative, and I get blessed in the process. I started with Hebrews and .Hosea and Zechariah. Psalms Acts, the Revelation and now I’m in the middle of Isaiah. I just write half a page. This sort of makes a basis for prayer and puts me in the spirit for prayer. Her favorite Bible passage is Psalm 66. ofwhichshehas written a paraphrase which fits the tune of a popular hymn: "Oh make a joyful noise to God ye lands, bring forth His praise, sing //r the honor of His name.

driving in each day. Those participating in the conference are from the Northern Indiana Conference. While attending the conference various sessions will be held about trips people have taken, what they will be doing and what they are looking forward to. A number of speakers will hold sessions which deal with those at the conference. During the Bible hour. Dr. Tilman Smith, Goshen, will be dealing in the wholistic point of view in the development of the body, mind and spirit. He will be showing that the society is getting older, because the population His glorious mays, Thine enemies shall be brought lorn and oh the matchless worth. How a ire inspiring are thy works. displayed o'er all the earth. He led His people through the flood, the sea became dry land. He will not let on r feet be mored, but guides us with His hand. Afflictions, fires, hare tested us and cast us on ourface but thou in lore has brought us out into a wealthy place. My rows I'll pay now in thy House, rows made'in time of stress what thou has done u'ithin thy soul greatfully I’ll confess. Relinquishing iniquity freely I do proclaim that God in mercy heard my prayer. . . Oh blessed be his name." Now this might not be how you would paraphrase Psalm 66. but it is a good start. Why not take Psalm 23 or Matthew 5 or John 3 and see what you can do. If.you have a story about the Bible, send it to the Christian Bible Society, Nashville. TN 37210.
growth is slowing down and people are living longer. Smith has worked in public education in Illinois for some years and served as superintendent of schools in Central, Illinois. He spent two years in business as vice president of manufacturing, then became president of Hesston College Hesston, Kan., from 1959-68. In 1968 and 1969, Smith was director of institutional self study at Eastern Mennonite College in Harrisonburg, Va.

Also presenting programs will be Dr. Mark Blaising, senior minister at Trinity Church, Elkhart, as keynote speaker each day; Mrs. Warren (Iva Marie) Rosebrugh, Warsaw, who will be talking about how egg decorations originated and will show some examples of her work in egg decorations. Mrs. Rosebrugh has made necklaces, tooth pick holders and locket type holders out of egg shells. For the evening concert Thursday. Sept. 6, Mrs. Milton (Madonna) Persons, will be performing her talent on the violin. Also Alice Fox. Elkhart, will be sharing her experiences in the mission fields on Wednesday morning. This conference has been held since approximately 1968. Choughs From The Living Bible For we speak as messengers from God trusted by him to tell the truth; we change his message not one bit to suit the taste of those who hear it; for we serve God alone, who examines our hearts’ deepest thoughts. Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you vejw> well know, and God knows we were not just pretending to be your friends so that you would give us money! As for praise, we have never asked for it from you or anyone else. I Thessalonians The people’s good is the highest law.
I ill 1 ML tv i l l ft |j| f iSsOSWt GRBDPAMEffIS deplorable situation of today is an apparent between young and old. The recent notion that anyone over the age of thirty has no further value has caused many an older person ~ to withdraw into a defensive shell, thereby increasing the barrier between the generations. This is all the more tragic when it occurs in the 4 same family, for grandparents tend to be considerably over thirty. Both old and young nave something to contribute to the good life whidh we all try to achieve: the young bring the freshness of new ideas and the old offer th° wisdom and folklore gleaned from their long years of experience. As you will learn in your Church, a little mutual tolerance can close the generation gap with a bridge of harmony, understanding and love.

Hammans enjoy teaching two and three-year-olds
Teaching two and three-year-old children in Sunday school has become the most joyous and rewarding experience for Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Nancy) Hamman, Syracuse. The couple teaches the young class at Milford Christian Church. Mrs. Hamman first taught the class on a trial basis, after no one could stay and teach that age level. After teaching the class by herself she asked her husband to join her so the boys would have someone to relate to and feel more at ease with. "This is very important," remarked Mrs. Hamman. There’s something special the Hammans have with the children in their class and they believe it’s because they do things with the children and get down to their level so the children won’t have to look up. “We treat them like our own children,” stated the Hammans who have five of their own. In the Sunday school class the whole time is not spent playing with toys as some church classes do at that age level. The time is divided into sections which consist of a lesson, crafts, singing and playing in the play center. Most of the lessons are from the Standard Publishing Company and the crafts stem from that company also. There are papers sent home so the parents are included by seeing what the story was for that day and a craft item for the children. A reward system is used by the Hammans instead of the yelling and hollering most teachers use to make the children mind. A simple treat is given to the children as a reward. Also the teachers try to get all the children involved in the activities they have. "We find that if we have a withdrawn •child, we will pick thdl child to lead a song, by placing them on our lap and helping with the motions." The couple has been teaching as a team for the past four years. Previously she has taught kindergarten for five years and Hamman has taught high school age. "Personally we’ve always worked with children," mentioned Mrs. Hamman. “I started in the eighth grade teaching two or three children in a class, teaching children is just something that’s there. With Bob, he loves children and in the position he’s in he has too," she added. Hamman is the Syracuse Elementary School principal. The rapport the couple has with the children is attributed to the fact that at the age level of children they are teaching the

ENJOY CHILDREN — Robert and Nancy Hamman, Syracuse, enjoy children and are teaching two to three-year-old children at the Milford Christian Church. Both love the children in their class and treat them as if they were their own. The Hammans are the parents of five children. In the above picture they are looking over some extra activities for the children to take home besides the regular take home papers provided by the publishing company.
youngsters are impressionable and want to do what others are doing. "I think it's facinating how soon they pick things up." stated Mrs. Hamman, "if ever a teachable age this is it. they are so anxious to learn, even the two-year-olds. most fun is to watch them grown." The Harrrmans say they will continue teaching this class for as long as the church will let them teach. “We enjoy it. it isn't a job it’s a joy to teach this age group for us," stated both The couples five children are Tim. 20, attending Grace College; Mrs. Tad < Kelly) Missionary Rally on September 9 Mr. and Mrs. Don Regier.
