She is attending classes in preparation for this mission field. Mrs. McCall gave a very inspiring message entitled "What is our responsibility to our missionaries?" She said our first and most im- portant responsibility is PRAYER. She explained the culture shock suf- fered by the Missionary going to a foreign field and especially the first time. There's the shock of a different language, climate, monetary system, housing, food and social contacts. All of these are difficult to cope with and impossible without God's help and the prayers of the people at home. Our next responsibility is support. When there is a need, act now, don't wait, hoping someone else will do it, and give enough, but give immediately and cheerfully. God never asks anything of anyone that is irripossible. Then there is en- couragement -- writing letters. This is something everyone can do, but -- Why is it difficult to write to our Missionaries? Pray and ask God's direction and DO it. She closed saying -- These three -- prayer, support and ' 'en- tourageMeht (letters), Please write often and God will richly tewatd, The 'speaker was thanked by Mrs, Lillian Steckle and the *Meeting closed with joining hands• n te pt* 11 4, drew's UC while the Rev.

A gentleman came along and asked to go, !clown -to fish but.he was not eligible as he was not the Derby, . He departed but on going out the door, he turned that little door knob straight across. Not realizing they were locked in the door, and could not get out, a Lion member came up the hill and noticed their plight and their "come hither" signs meant nothing to this Lion. He got out of his car, lifted the bar, drove through and joking replaced it pretending not to notice them._ He made movements toward his car as if to leave then he changed his mind, came back, opened The bar again and aPJi PPssed, the boY4. he get • out1 turned that little knob back again and the jail birds were free.
