Mrs. James Wilson opened the program with a reading from the Book of James, followed by Mrs. Murray Underwood's in- troduction of a videotape of hC Helen Roseveare, a mecliar missionary in Zaire, speaking on "God's Suf- fering People". , Dr. Roseveare was in Zaire, formerly the Belgian Congo, at the time of its independence and remained there until the rebellion four years later in 1964. At the time of independence, there was a complete split between the blacks and the whites, even among Christian blacks and whites. Dr. Roseveare was caught in the middle — the blacks 't trust her because she w • s white and the whites didn't trust her because she was a friend of the blacks and it became a very lonely period in her life. During the rebellion she was captured and savagely beaten by the rebels.

Bob Perry from the Bluevale United Church was our guest speaker Tuesday afternoon. We'1L. talk more about Mr. Perry's visit next week. It's always great to have various ministers speak to the group because it's often difficult for people to get to church either because they have difficulty climbing the steps or because of a lack of tran- sportation.

S faced more than one Hiring squad and was interrogated in front of 80Q people, then sentenced by the crowd to death. At the time, her in- juries were so severe that her eyes were swollen shut. However, a change carne over the crowd and members cried out, "She is our doc- tor," and the sentence was reversed. Dr. Roseveare later was rescued and returned to Britain. In addressing the question "Why does a God of love allow suffering?" she said that her own suffering made others willing to listen to her. . "She has gone through it, He is sufficient for her, maybe He will be sufficient for us," was a reaction she en- countered several times. Moreover because God is a god of love, there is suf- fering. For us to love God, we must be free to choose to love or not to love Him. When we refuse to love God, He suffers. Thus God made His own suffering by making us free to choose. This freedom to choose to love applies to human relationships. If you also love, you will suffer. However God will give the individual grace to stretch through the darkness and say "Thank you God for trusting me with this ex- perience, even if you never tell me why." He will give you sufficient power to go through the experience with Him. Sylvia Procter sang two hymns, accompanying herself on the autoharp.
