- Tell, who, after .watching the six o'clock
news which, showed :a "street person"
sleeping ton the 'sidewalk in Philadelphia
(with :hundreds of others like .hina), in-
sisted that his father take him to

one of his blankets anda-pillow. When he
gavethem .to .a "man crouched by a sub-
way .grate trying-toLkeep mann . bylneans

ed birn, whicirdetermined Trevor to con-
tinue the :nightly trips, taking clothing
and .blankets to his "friends", the lost,
the lonely, the -flirty, the _drunks, the ad-
dicts and the bag ladies.
Trevor's endeavors mushroomed. The
Ferrolls church Offered -to rook meals for

"Two thousand years ago," Trevor's
dad said, "there was one _great act of
love (God's gift of Jesus). We are here
to keep that love ,going. All of us, young
and old, can find someone to reach out to
in kindness".

The meeting continued with Mrs.
Anderson leading in ,prayer. 'Throughout
the .service, hymns number 20) and 260
were sung accompanied by Elsie Houston
at the piano.
'Following this, was a skit entitled, The
Torn Garment, .involving the five ladies
in .charge. It was based on the IftsiOn
Study, "Justice, Peace and'Equality".
This was in the form of a planning
'meeting for a ITCW workshop, -with a
decision made to split up, one group to
plan -the Bible study and another to plan
a program on world social issues,
because they thought the two weren't
closely connected. After considerable
discussion separately, the conclusion was
made that God wants good things on
earth. ,Justice, peace, and :equality are
:linked together, we cannot have one
'without the other.
