Earnest and his family were in Nigeria four months hnd in the Con- go for nearly two years, and found both pleasure and disappointment there. Much of the financial and legal work of the Blind Mission was done through the Salvation Army facilities, thus saving both money and red tape. He said that gardens were often planted on raised beds so they could be located by a blind man's feet for watering, etc. Sometimes fine seeds were mixed with sand and broadcast, then covered with palm leaves until they germinated. Other seeds were planted along a string using a stick to measure the distance between seeds. They used casava, a plant from which tapioca is made, as we would use potatoes, and also used pigweed as a vegetable. Mr. Dow was thanked by Gary Kemp. The annual church service was held in Dublin Catholic Church, Sunday morning. During the worship service, Michael Dow gave the scripture reading and Terry, Timmy and Ricky Dow took up the offering. Bill Manon, Rhea Cameron, Ruth Laing, Twyla Waddell, and Margaret Schrader attended the information meeting_ for Perth District leaders an gro p c Monday Evening. At session Jean Uarey, assisted by Cathy Nor- ris, showed the filmstrip, Even Though We Are Not Blossoming Now, at the February meeting of the Marian Ritchie Evening Auxiliary on Tuesday evening. She told of the ancient influences on the modern people of Korea, and of the beliefs of Shamonism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, Ending sometimes beginning A humble cobbler, Jean Lenoir, liv- ing in Paris, France, made an entry in his diary on July 14, 1789: "Nothing important happened today." Looking back, we know a world shaking event was taking place right under his nose, only the beginning of his life. Later, looking back on that terrifying and puzzling experience, Joseph could see God had been working out a wonder- fully good plan, not only for Himself, but for this whole family. It Seems to me... for that was the day the mob storm- ed the Bastille and the French Revolution was begun to leave things never the same again. But the poor cobbler, knowing nothing of the end, saw no significance in the day. There is a great truth of life here that St. Paul points out in his lgtter to the Corinthians. "Now, we see through a glass, darkly," he says. "Now, I see only in part." How often is it that way with us, too. We judge on what we only see in part. We look at a person and condemn his actions even though we know nothing of what has gone on before in his life, or what hurts he is suffering in his in ner heart. We judge our own circumstances in the light of the immediate present, and some of our today experiences seem like the end of the world to us. But, often that experience is not the end, but only the beginning of something new and good. It was Nietzsche who said, "Only where there are graves are there resurrec- tions." I like that. Lately, our Bible study group has been looking at the young man, Joseph, sold as a slave to the Egyp- tians, and by his own brothers! Sure- ly that was a bleak day, when he must have thought it was the end of everything for him. But it was really by Gwyn Whilsmith especially as they related to nature and the beliefs that spirits inhabit nature. Part Two of the film dealt mainly with South Korea, showing the need for human rights there. The Korean people have a long history of struggle andforeign occupation. Government troops control much of South Korea and the Christian Church has pro- blems as it tries to better the life of the common people. Betty Lou Norris presided for the meeting which was held at her home.

Take St. Paul, himself, shut up in prison when he yearned to be out in the busy market places preaching. But if he had not been confined, we would not likely have had all his wonderful letters, written in a Roman cell, and which would, one day, make up a good part of the New Testament. While Paul saw only in part, the full picture was being viewed by God. Recently, I've been reading about Josephine Butler, a youngvibrant woman, loving beautiful clothes, dan- cing and partying. Happily married, with a beautiful little daughter, her life was full to the brim. But when she was returning home, one day, the lit- tle girl, rushing to meet her, fell over the bannister and was killed. In her great sorrow, Mrs. Butler thought it was the end of everything. Yet, out of that crushing ex- perience, came a deep sympathy in her heart for all sorrowing and suffer- ing women. No longer could she live her self -centre life. She went out into the awful prisons of her day, sat among the women there, comforting them. Out of her sad experience something everlastingly worthwhile developed and helped in the reform of prisons. To all of us come those days when we, too, see through a glass darkly, when we know only what we see. We all come upon bizarre and unhappy pieces that are difficult to fit i o the puzzles of our lives. But when the pic- ture of lite is completed, and we see the whole, if we have trusted God, we will find there was a purpose to each experience, and out of it came good. The Lord who created you says, "Do not be afraid, l will save you. I have called you by name, you are mine When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire. you will not be burned; the hard trials that come will not hurt you. For I am the Lord your God, who saves you.
