Bruce Eaton of Strat- ford. the guest preacher at Varna United Church An- niversary, challenged his listeners to support mis- sionary work financially, and with any useful skills they can share with the people of the world who are in extreme need. His text was from Mat- thew 25, "Whenever you did it for one of the least of these My brethren, you did it for Me." While serving as a mis- sionary in India, he found his technical skills useful in pro- viding water for a drought - stricken area. From this beginning, he found himself working at well -drilling in Bangladesh, Zaire, the Sudan and Somaliland. He is available to any missionary organization that needs help with well -drilling, and has worked for Roman Catholics, American Prebyterians, and the World Council of Chur- ches. He told of well -drilling machinery sitting idle for three years while a church looked for someone among its members with the necessary skills and willing to use them in Africa, before they heard that he was available. Mr. Eaton happened to be in Somaliland when the Corn for the Horn was being distributed, and told how FURROW QUEEN CONTESTANTS — Seven girls competed for the title of queen of the furrow of the Huron County Plowing Match northeast of Zurich.
