Unto The Poorest Of The Poor In Luke chapter 10 we find recorded the parable of the Good Samaritan. It was told to a certain lawyer in answer to the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Frora the parable we learn that our neighbor or anybody within our helping reach is our fellow man. We read that the Samaritan helped his neighbor; and then the significant command unto all of Jesus’ disciples (followers) is given—“go and do thou likewise.” The Mennonite Central Committee finds areas where people are in need, and then in turn finds Christians who are willing to give their Services for the benefit of such people. M.C.C. also has a program for young people, who want to be a positive witness of their Christian faith and who are willing to serve God and humanity. This program is voluntary Service under which is the phase of summer Service. Last summer sixty-four young people participated in Summer Service in Canada. They were in nine different units in Ontario and Manitoba; represented eight Mennonite, and four non-Mennonite church groups. They came from Canada’s five Western provinces, from the U.S.A., from Japan, and served in provincial mental hospitals and T .B. Sanatoriums. One of these units served in the Ontario hospital in London where the writer was also engaged. Therefore all details of Summer Service given here will be mainly applicable to that hospital and unit. On the hospital wards we worked as nurse aids and attendants. Our work ranged from scrubbing floors to feeding patients. In work¬ ing with these patients, we tried to show that Christ is the master of our lives, as our witness lay more in actions than words. Next to ward duties, unit life played the greatest part in our summer ex- periences. Every Friday night we conducted an evangelistic Service at the “Good-will Rescue Mission” in the city. The mission is a place where hungry, penniless men come after they have spent everything on alcohol and gambling. The providing of special singing at various church Services, rendering several programs in other communities and the presentation of one young people’s literary program were further non-obligatory unit Services. Our devotional activities consisted of a daily unit devotional period and a weekly Bible study. Participating in many different types of sports, enjoying wiener roasts, etc., constituted our recreational activities. The lecture pertaining to mental illness, given us by the hospital staff, and the publica- tion of three issues of our paper ‘‘The London Lighthouse,” afforded us further educational benefits. We received the greatest benefits from our Services. Ours remain the spiritual Blessings received through many hours of exeellent Christian fellowship and ours were the educational values received from a summer of a unique service. Next summer presents similar challenges to other young people. John Krahn Ninette Unit (Manitoba)

Feed My Lambs Jesus said unto Peter, “Feed my lambs.”—John 21:15. This is the command Christ gave and it still holds true today. As “Elim” students and ex-students, we count it a privilege to obey this command of Christ. Düring the summer months many of us are given the privilege of feeding God’s little lambs through Summer Bible School in some of our churches or in local school districts. The children are taught God’s word in the form of Bible stories, other Christian stories, singing, and Bible quizzes. They also memorize portions of the Scriptures, and the way of salvation is explained to them. By playing games with them and visiting their homes, the teacher wins the confidence of the children. It is then that the children come to the teacher for a few comforting words and may so be led to Christ. The parents of the pupils are invited for the final evening to hear what the children have learned at Bible School. This is also a suitable time to have the new .converts testify of their new experience with Christ. Many “Elim” students have been richly blessed in Summer Bible School work. It is my prayer that many more young people will be engaged in this work this comirig summer. Agnes Buhler. Helen Harder with the Junior dass at Osterwick.
