Zurich Citizens News, 1964-08-27, Page 6PAGE SIX THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1464 Many District Mennonites Attend Youth Convention Held at Kitchener A number of local people at- tended the Mennonite Youth convention which was held from 1 August 19 to 23 at the Memorial i Auditorium in Kitchener. Tho 1 people from this area who at -1 tended were: Rev. and Mrs. Ephraim Gingerich, Rev. and Mrs. Orval Jantzi, along with a number of .11YF members from both the local congrega- tions. , The total number of young people who registered for the convention was 2,800; included in this number were delegates from Oregon. Pennsylvania, California, Florida, and a few from: as far away as Tanganyika and India. The Mennonite Youth con- vention, which is held annu- ally, gives Mennonite youth fr.-nn throughout the church an opportunity to get together at an informal gathering, where they can worship, discuss mu- tual aspirations and problems, and meet new friends. All of these were very much in evi- dence throughout the conven- tion. Dr. Clayton Beyler, of Hess- ton College, Kansas, talked each morning on the "Gospel accord- ing to John". He stressed that although the Bible contains four gospels, each of them is really only a different side or picture of the same action—the goodness of God speaking to us through the work of Christ. Each morning after Dr, Bey- ler's talk, the delegates had op- portunity to talk it over them- selves. The entire delegate body split into some 240 small "talk it over" groups scattered throughout the main floor, the bleachers, and in the corridors of the auditorium. Participating in some of the planned recreational activity was somewhat hampered by wet weather on Friday. But swim- ming at the "Y", bowling, table tennis, .and especially folk sing- ing, inbing, were enjoyed during the recreation periods. A high- light on Saturday was the Can- ada vs. U.S. softball game. The outcome was Canada 4—U.S. 3. Quizzing on the Gospel of John was an activity in which only a few young people par- ticipated actively at the conven- tion, but which elicited a great deal of interest. The quiz teams at the convention had survived elimination in their home area; at the convention these teams were further elimi- nated until at the final quizz on Saturday the team from On- tario emerged victorious. Dr. Myron S. Augsburger, of Harrisonburg, Virginia, a well- known evangelist and president- elect of Eastern Mennonite Col- lege in Harrisonburg, addressed the convention delegates each evening. A dramatic presentation "Christ in the Concrete City" was one of the highlights on Thursday evening, and again on Saturday afternoon. It was pre- sented by' six students from Goshen College, Goshen, Ln- diana. The convention closed offici- ally with the Saturday evening services; however, 45 groups of young people went out to Men- nonite churches on Sunday morning to share their faith and the inspiration of the con- vention with local congrega- tions at their morning worship services. liway FINFL SERVED IN OUR MODERN DINING ROOM ENJOY THE FINE ATMOSPHERE OF OUR ATTRACTIVE ALPINE ROOM Our Entire Hotel is Equipped with "Hi-Fi" System for your Listening Pleasure �L' E SPECIALIZE IN STEAKS - CHICKEN - FISH of ,: inion Hots 5qq PHONE 70 — ZURICH kl v o fader - STOCK LDP NOW ON e Binder Twine We carry the famous "Plymouth Red Top" •4d�ms,.v.�ane�m�+nnosnr.4s.4a,..ti.

Republicans received i d e n ti c a l treatment prior to their convention. The program started appro- priately with a brief segment of the nomination of Johnson for V -P. With Robert Trout as comment::tor, they showed ex- cellent scenes from 1932 to 1960. F.D.R.'s nomination of '32 was interesting, and here CBS was kind to NBC who had all the microphones in front of the nominee. It looked like CBS wasn't there. This hour-long program showed the 1936 convention when Roosevelt was a sure win- ner; the 1940 convention when Wilkie was the opposition; the 1941 declaration of war against Japan, and F.D.R.'s death in '45. All these scenes were good. Trout mentioned that F.D.R. really never wanted Henry Wal- lace as his running mate in 1940, but Eleanor Roosevelt urged him to take Wallace. Then 11Ir. Trout said: "I wonder what Mrs. Johnson is saying to Lyndon these days about a run- ning mate". The '52 and '56 conventions showed Stevenson, who was the loser, and Eisenhower, the win- ner. The 1960 Kennedy con- vention and the Roosevelt con- ventions and speeches were the highlights of this program. t. a is CBS has purchased the Yan- kee baseball club. As one mem- ber of parliament said the other day: "What team is the CBC going to buy for us?" * a: The insert in the current TV Guide seems a little ridiculous. It gives one the impression that you can "do it yourself", includ- ing the delivery of a baby. 0 DASND and DISTRICT Mr. and Mrs. Martin Mc- Grenere and family,. of London, are vacationing with Otto Reste- mayer. 113r. and Mrs. George Wolfe, of Toronto, and Mr. and Mrs. Murray Wolfe and family, of Montreal, vacationed with Mrs. Wes Wolfe and other relatives last week.
