Jim Somerville, Director of Special Projects for Compassion of Canada, a special children's relief fund with Canadian headquarters in Blenheim. Rev, Somerville, a former Chatham minister, joined the organization about one and a half years ago, The organization itself, however, came into being in 1952, during the Korean War. Reverend Everett Swanson, a Chicago evangelist, ministered to the Republic of Korea troops and at the same time noted the plight of thousands of street urchins and "beggar boys" scavenging garbage cans for discarded food. Upon his return to the States, he organized the Everett Swanson Evangelistic Association and devoted his full time and talents to the new venture. Shortly thereafter, the ministry was renamed Com- passion, Inc. Compassion is primarily a ministry to children. Provision is made for their spiritual, physical, and material needs. Care includes food, clothing, shelter, medical assistance, and elementary education. In addition to these "basics," Compassion's ministry is spiritual. A primary goal is to proclaim the Christian gospel to each child. It also supports hundreds of native evangelists, Bible teachers, and pastors, all of thern lending assistance to field kaffs and superintendents of children's homes. Bible study materials have been especially translated for use in the homes by Bible teachers, evangelists and home superin- tendents. Compassion assists in the obtaining of secondary and higher education for qualified youth.

The general office of the organization is in Chicago, Illinois. The Canadian headquarters is at Blenheim, Ontario, and field offices are located in Seoul, Korea; Djakarta, Indonesia; Singapore, and India. Rev. Somerville stressed the "tremendous number" of children who are eared for by Compassion. They have just taken on 1,200 more from India and with only 1,000 sponsors in Canada, this means that they are taking on more than double their present Canadian sponsorship, The work of Compassion is supported by sponsors and contributors, This is a personal way for individuals, families and groups to help in a tangible way. It costs only $12 monthly to support one child. Rev. Somerville's family care for two children,one in Haiti and one in Indonesia, "Our greatest need is for people willing to demonstrate their Christian love in caring for a child," he said. He told of one family which eats porridge three times a day, for just one day out of the month, and in this way, they save enough to support their child. In another case, grandparents provide the money for the support of two children,but their grandchildren do all the corresponding with their foreign friends. Compassion deals with all sorts of children: orphans, the men- tally retarded, blind, deaf and crippled children, tuberculosis patients, children whose parents have leprosy - there are attempts made to help all of them, They work with more than 23,000 needy children in 11 countries, but the majority of work centres in the far east and the Caribbean, This month, the president of the organization, Reg. $5,98 to $6.49 Selections SALE $399 AT oNiy Hear therapist talk of work _ amen eted The Times Advocate would like to welcome three members to the Over 80 Club this week, Congratulations to: Miss Martha gills, Hensall, 91, May 3, 1973 Mrs. Violet Quance, Bracebridge, 84, May 18, 1973.

There is no charge for this service, and love, and urged anyone in- terested to become a sponsor. "The scope of our work if far- reaching and is expanding all the time," said Rev. Somerville, "but we need a lot more help." Rev, Henry Harvey, a veteran missionary-statesman, and a team of workers plan to visit Vietnam. They estimate there are between 300,000 and 500,000 children to be cared for in that country alone, Compassion does not work alone, however. It works with four other organizations: The Christian Children's Fund, World Vision, The Canadian Save the Children's Fund and Foster Parent's Flan, co-ordinating activities, and trying to avoid conflicting work and overlap.
