I xx -L .rt Q.. X . I Top: The American lndian Bottom: The Mid-east lil!! k.1:'1':1:zrErifr23-1:3 Chandler CChanniJ Ahuja, a native of India and a graduate in Engineering from the University, Russia, visited the 1972 Missions Conference displays and related them to his own ex- periences. Channi told how he was raised in a poor Hindu home which resembled the small American-Indian-house display. The small tablets in the Mid-east display and the bamboo shoots used to make fence around the oriental display reminded him of his early school days. He told how those who weren't able to buy pencils and paper made pens out of narrow bamboo and used the slates to write on. The little shops represented in the Mid-east display looked quite familiar as well. The sugar cane tassels in one of the shops also reminded him of bajara which is used as a grain similar to corn and ground into flour as was demonstrated in the African display. Inside the African hut there was another item which he re- cognized--a chair which consisted of a small seat and one leg. He told how many of the men in India who practice Yoga will use these little stools as an arm rest while sitting on the ground for hours of meditating. They sit for a while with one arm resting on the stool and then later they will switch to the other arm which is just about the only movement they make. He noticed quickly the handmade products in the Arctic dis- play, making mention of the fact that the bead work in India is often glued together and not sewn as those on display. Channi was very impressed with the Cafe International. That so much work should be done for only one week! After ordering orange pop and cookies, he commented that all the cookies were sweet. ' There are two things hc thought Missions Conference could do without. One was a pepsi bottle in the Buddhist temple at the Oriental display and the other was the stop sign in the Cafe International by the cash register marked donations. The display which Channi was undoubtedly most impressed with--because it fit every nation throughout the world---was the Ghetto. The setting was that of a very small room located in a poor area off an alley filled with trash. He noted especially the picture of Angela Davis and the McGovern stickers as well as evidence of drug usage and alcohol. He told of his return to lndia after receiving his degree in Moscow and being unable to find any employment whatsoever. This display resembled his way of life until his coming to the United States. It was indeed a real privilege to have Chandler Ahuja as our guest at Missions Conference. As he left the church building Channi read the gold-lettered sign above the door--Because the King is Coming!--and he asked, Who is the King? 7
