HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1970-05-28, Page 13etc Gideons challenged to raising future budgets About 80 Gideons from camps in London, Woodstock, St. Thomas and Tillsonburg met for the annual zone rally in Exeter United Church, May 23, which was hosted by the South Huron camp. Guest speaker at the evening session was Cecil Roberts, Toronto, who has been a full time worker with the Gideons for 21 years and who helped form the local camp in December 1955. At present he is editor of the Gideon magazine. In his remarks, he outlined the growth of the Gideons since 1945 when there were 2,400 members in three countries; USA, Canada and Iceland. The organization now has camps in 186 countries around the world. The Canadian budget is $527,000.00 and in 1969, 9,000 New Testaments, and 1,000 Bibles were distributed in the country. Mr. Roberts stated Canadian Gideons have lead the way in many areas. They were the first to place Bibles in hospitals and the first hospital to receive them was Victoria Hospital, London, in 1945. The practice of giving New Testaments to Grade V students was first implemented by Canadians, as was the placing of Bibles in penal institutions. Gideons in other countrieS have adopted these customs in recent years. He challenged the membership to dedication in meeting the needs of the organization. "We must distribute according to the need and not according to the resources . . . and we should be thankful doors are still open to us," He told the audience Gideons are often allowed into far places where the churches are no longer allowed to go. Mr. Roberts challenged his listeners to the tasks of the future and the raising of the budget. He quoted John Esley, as saying, "Spiritual decline in any church has always been preceded in stewardship decline." Mayor Jack Delbridge brought greetings from the the town of Exeter and from Exeter United Church. He complimented the Gideons for "what you are doing in trying to get some of the increasing world problems under control." President of South Huron Camp, Don Jolly, was chairman for the evening; Harry Hoffman, Dashwood, led a hymn-sing; Squire Herdrnan and Edgar Cudmore assisted in the program and the Tait family played and sang several songs.
