CHURCH COUNCIL NEWS REVIVAL MEETING SEPTEMBER 6th Pastor’s Report to the Church TO SEPTEMBER 20th Council of Administration August 4, 1953 Averages for the month of July have been as follows: Sunday School 251; Morning Worship 272; Evening Service 61. Averages for July, 1952, were: Sunday School 231; Morning Worship 172; Evening Service 50. Even with the hot weather we are holding our own financially, and we are grateful to God for His goodness. During the month of July, I have made ninety-two pastoral calls, preached eleven times, and per formed one wedding. And yet the Pastor has taken no vacation period as such, but such arrangements are now being made for the first Sun day in September (6th). In recent days the Pastor has talked with Rev. and Mrs. A. E. Clark, Pastor and wife of the Mar ion Salem Church, and has made arrangements with them to assist in Revival meetings in September. They will conduct the music ser vices, and will have a special ministry to children. They will be a valuable assistance in the meet ings which are now being planned. The meeting date is set for Sep tember 20th through October 4th. Recent actions of The Council in the July meeting were as follows: 1. It was agreed to provide the sum of $35.00 to send Mr. George Bailey to the Second Quadrennial Student Conference of The Evan gelical United Brethren Church to be held at Indiana Central College at Indianapolis, Indiana, December 29th to January 1st. 2.

PASTOR’S MESSAGE

The months of June, July and August are usually considered the period of low attendance or “sum mer slump” in most Churches, but we are happy that this sum mer is different from all the rest. At least the attendance figures are better than they have been in pre vious summers, for which we are deeply grateful to God. Many peo ple are asking if it is essential to hold two services on Sunday morn ing. The answer is simple arithme tic, for an average of about 100 more people are now at Church on Sunday morning than attended in the summer of 1952. Our Sunday School is also well ahead of last year, as is our evening service and mid-week prayer meeting. Surely this indicates that with the proper emphasis in the fall months High Street can surpass all previous at Our Revival meeting has now tendance records. been set for the two week period As these lines are prepared your beginning September 6, and the Pastor has selected to assist us in Pastor is very busy looking for the work Rev. and Mrs. A.

Many of our people un derstand very well that Revivals are not worked up, they are prayed down. Prayer is the key if God is going to bless High Street Church. We have a taste of the goodness of God, and we will be looking to Him for the future. The plan for our Revival meeting will be as indicated, but parents will be invited to come for the children’s part of the service if they desire. Now is the time to be telling your friends about our meetings, and to be planning so that you can come. Further an nouncements will be made through Church bulletins and in our regu lar services.

The division of the Miracle Mission Fund was determined as follows: 1. $25.00 per month is to be sent to the denoninational Board of Missions to be applied toward the support of some foreign mis sionary. 2. $25.00 per month is to be sent to the new Home Mission Church at Bradenton, Florida. 3. The balance of all funds re ceived are to be designated for the new East Lima Evangelical United Brethren Church on Bellefontaine Ave. 4. If, during any month we should fail to receive $75.00 or more the receipts for that month would be divided as follows: The first $25.00 would go toward our foreign missionary fund, and the balance would be divided be tween the Bradenton, Florida, mission and the new East Lima congregation.

The entire membership roll is included as well as the Official members of our Church body. Keep these numbers on file for future reference, for you will want to know who holds which office or who is a member of the Church. Should there be any question about our membership roll your Pastor will be happy to an swer any questions. Now and then errors do occur, and a number were found last year. If you think the roll is not correct in any way, please feel free to ask questions or to offer suggestions. During the month of August the parsonage will receive its new coat of insul-wood siding. The trustees have been planning for this improvement for some time, and perhaps the painting and new gutter and spouting will also be finished before this paper arrives. This will make a great improve ment in the parsonage property, and its appearance will be much ap preciated. This is the first month for the Witness to be printed at The Rockford Press.

A physician tells of his experi ence with a patient in an asylum. “He seemed so gloomy,” the doctor said, “that I tried to cheer him. After a moment, the man interrupt ed, T’m sorry. Doc, but I’ll have to get back to my worrying. I’m way behind, and I got no time for anything else now.’ ” Well, aren’t we all a little like that?

EDITOR'S NOTE OF THANKS

JOE GRAHAM IS APPOINTED EDITOR OF O.S.N. The Rev. Joseph Graham, a 1953 graduate of Bonebrake Theologi cal Seminary and pastor of Pasco E.U.B.

Since this terminates my of ficial duties as your editor, I want to take this opportunity of expressing my deep appreci ation for the excellent co-oper ation you have given me. It has been a real joy and an enrich ing experience to serve as edi tor for the past few years. I asked to be relieved of the re sponsibilities, not because of dissatisfaction or gripes in any way, but because I felt the pul ling desire of devoting the en ergies spent in these duties to pastoral leadership in a grow ing church. I am sure you will give to my successor the fine loyalty and co-operation you have shown toward me. I believe Joe will do an excellent job, and therefore I commend him highly as worthy of your best. —E. S. H.

GOD’S PROMISE

Think of me when thou art blue. Remember, I am a friend that’s true. I walk beside you day by day, I hear all you think and say. I know the temptations and bur dens you bear. Thinkest thou that I don’t care? When you are downhearted and think you are through. Remember me — I’m with you. Be strong, be firm, be true my friend. And I will walk with thee until the end. —Doris Mae Null (Age 17) Green Springs, Ohio

With an enrollment of 174, To ledo Calvary had one of the lar gest DVBS reported in the city to date and the largest school in its history. There were 20 church es represented in the school, and the average attendance was 150. The Nursery course, “Loving and Pleasing Jesus,” was taught to 16 three year olds with Mrs. Mary Meyer, Mrs. Alva Tipton, Mrs. Doile Facemyre, Lois Fox, Carol Martin and Judy Coen serving as teachers. The Beginners Department had 34 enrolled and had a teaching staff consisting of Mrs. Harold Herman, Mrs. Arthur Lamale, Mrs. Jasper Seaney, Elizabeth Eldridge, Charlotte Dallas and Karen Wilkins. This group was outstanding for its singing. In the Primary Department where the 23rd Psalm was the basis for the two week’s study, one of the teachers, Mrs. Larry Johnston made a table arrange ment demonstrating the Psalm that was beautiful to look at and very effective as a teaching aid. The 72 children in this department were instructed by Mrs. Wilson Fox, Mrs. Duane Ashbacher, Mrs. Lawrence Johnston, Mrs. Richard Cooper, Mrs. Richard Miller, Mrs. Glen Sutton, Mrs. Elmer Querin, Mrs. Solomon Humberger, Mrs. Joseph Simms, Mrs. Waldo Vogan and Miss Nancy Gamble.

The children were delighted to be able to show what they had learned and made, and the program was well received — especially the con tribution of the Nursery. The offering from the children in the school will be used by the departments for the Missionary project in which the departments are interested in. Mrs. Roy Hare, Director of the school conducted worship services each day with the use of flannelgraphs and object lessons, and pre sented the certificates and awards in the closing service.

EXPANSION PROGRAM LAUNCHED The Conference Year of 1952-53 opened at Lima First with a bit of uncertainty and anticipation due to an accumulation of ideas over a period of years regarding a much needed expansion program that had never been forced to a definite decision. Added to this problem was the task of getting acquainted with a new pastor as well as repairing the sanctuary. By Easter Sunday the sanctuary had been transformed into a thing of beauty conductive to worship and reverence and the “Expansion Program” had started to take defi nite shape. After several Congregational Meetings, conferences with the Church Council, Local Building Committee, and the Conference Board of Missions etc., a definite “Expansion Program” was decided upon. For sometime we have felt the need of a Third Congregation in the city of Lima to serve the East Side of the city. After consider able prayer and deliberation First Church decided to make this ob jective become a reality. The Lima First Church offered to transfer any of her present membership to a new East Lima Congregation who would accept the challenge of giving themselves to this task, as well as to divide equally the exist ing Cash Building Fund of First Church with newly organized East Lima congregation. This matter was referred to the Conference Boards for their action. They in turn added their blessing by purchasing 4 lots as a site for the new congrega tion. On June 28, Dr. V. H. Allman was invited to Lima First Church to organize the new East Lima Congregation with a member ship of 58 youth and adult mem bers, which included some very capable leadership. The new church is at the present time worshipping in the Y.M.C.A. looking forward to the early completion of at least a unit of their building. The other part of the “Expan sion Program” of Lima First Church includes an educational unit south of the present church building. The Building Committee has been appointed and we look forward to having a roof over the new unit

Youth Fellowship topic discussions under a variety of writers and news of EUB church activities and personalities. Are the classes of your Sunday School receiving BUILDERS? If not, why not ask for sample copies for one month to introduce this popular paper to your school? -------- o-------When an entire period of divine worship is carefully built around the idea of holy communion with God the Father, something vital happens. Let us prove to the world that we have something real and rewarding to the spiritual life. Then shall our periods of divine worship prove an inspiration and a help to sinful, burdened people. —D. Carl Yoder. -------- o-------Controversy over the mode of baptism, the manner of observing the Lord’s Supper and other ex ternalities of our faith are but a hangover of a past order.
