tasks. In addition to all these efforts, the former pastor is doing a large part of the manual labor of construction on the church building. “He’s really quite a man of God,” said Browning "to be working so hard even though he’s 73 years old.” ' Rev. Shrider is well qualified for his building efforts as he is a licensed plumber and heating engineer. He also served as head of maintenance at Manchester College for many years and was director of physical plant at Bethany Seminary in Oakbrook, 111., for 16 years. After retiring from the North Webster pulpit he singlehandedly installed an automatic hot water heating furnace in the church and then proceeded to cover all the wood trim on the outside of the building, even the belfry and louvres. Rev. Shrider said with pride, “The people of the congregation are very much involved in the project. We're going Jo be using all volunteer labor to finish the building and the work brings the people together in Christian fellowship." His pride in the members of the Video time correction for Church of God The "Say ‘NO’ To Sexual Pressure" video series to be held at the North Webster Church of God on Sunday nights from February 5 through March 19 will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. each week.

church showed as he related that 20 people were busy at the new church site last Saturday and 27 were involved the previous Saturday. Included in these numbers were women of the church who provided warm food and drink to keep the industrious crew going. The pastor also expressed appreciation to the workers of seven neighboring churches who have come to help build the church. These included groups from Goshen, Elkhart, New Paris and as far away as a church near Huntington.

Parable of Jesus For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market place, And said unto them; Go ye also into the . vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found ojhers standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, shall ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto this steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
