EVANGEL — September, 1960

A C H A L L E N G E from Miss Jean Phillips

Dear Evangel Readers,

1 greet you all in the name of our blessed Lord Jesus Christ. No doubt we all know that the Evangel is a paper published for our own people and how we look forward to it each month. We pay ONLY 6d. a month for an Evangel. Isn't that CHEAP? BUT do you know that it costs a tremendous amount each month to print this paper, and yet we often fail to pay our 6d. I would like to challenge you about this paper and ask some questions:—

Do you enjoy reading the Evangel?

Do you receive it every month?

Do you pay for it every month,

or only now and again?

When we think of the cost of an Evangel, isn't that cheap compared to other magazines which are sold today? Why, the daily paper costs 6d. a day, yet so many of our people buy it and they have to pay for it too, otherwise they do not receive it. Then I've seen so many of our folks buy other magazines which are quite costly and some of these are published weekly. Then our children spend so much on comics, some of these comics, too, are not good for them to read.

If the Evangel is for our people, and it is, then each one of us should see our responsibility in supporting the Evangel in every way. by praying for it, subscribing to it and paying for it each month.

Someone once said to me, that they thought that the price of the Evangel should be 1/- a month instead of 6d. I did agree with that person and I think we should be able to pay 1/-.

We are grateful to those who pay regularly and some even pay a little more. I do trust that you will be challenged about the Evangel as you read this.

Remember too, the Evangel is another missionary and it goes where perhaps a missionary cannot go and sometimes is more accepted than a missionary. Then too, it is helping to take the Gospel to our people.

If you really enjoy reading the Evangel and are willing to pay 1 / - a month, then give the missionary or the agent for the Evangel on your stations 1/ - for your next copy. Tell them too, that you will be willing to pay 1/- for it.

1 guess there are times in your life as well as mine, when we've lost a shilling and we have thought nothing of it.

Let us do the same towards the Evangel and pay our shilling. After all that shilling will not be lost, we will benefit by it.

God bless you as you read and pay for the Evangel each month.

Yours in His blessed service,

JEAN H. PHILLIPS (Missionary)

"There is a way that seemeth right . . . but the end thereof . . . death"

Proverbs 14:12

by Purfleet Reporter

I thought how true to­day. I was walking along the street the other day and saw a number of pigs following a man. As you know, pigs are uncom­monly queer animals to drive and if you want them to go one way they in­variably take the other.

These pigs followed jostling and grunting after him as eager as possible. I found they were going to the slaughter house. They went in and the door closed behind them.

The man was asked how he managed to lead them so easily. He laughed: ""Maybe you did not see the bag of beans under my arm. I knew I would have a good morning taking them, so I got the beans. They are fond of them, so 1 dropped them along the road and how they scam­pered along picking up the J

A.I.M. Director visits South West of N.S.W. by Miss J. H. Phillips, Missionary

I t was a real joy and privilege to have our Director the Rev. E. C. Long visit us from the 7th July to the 10th. We had been looking forward to his visit with much anticipation. He arrived in Grif­fith on Thursday the 7th July. That night Mr. Long spoke at an Assimilation Meeting. There was an Assimilation organisation formed heie 12 months ago and this was their f irst general annual meeting.

Friday was a very big day for us. Mr. Long, Miss Campbell and I left Griffith on Fr iday morning and visited both Narrandera and Leeton. F i r s t we visited Leeton and we also had a very nice din­ner there with Mrs. Lindsay Grant, Senr.

Then soon after dinner we drove on to Narrandera where we visit­ed our people. Dear Mrs. Carroll was pleased to see the Director again,, also Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Scott. The three of us had

Miss Walker spent an enjoyable two and a half weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ferguson. On her way she was able to have a weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Peck-ham—also par t of her holidays was spent with Mr. and Mrs. Xaden.

We are sorry to hear of the pass­ing of Mr. David Kirk's mother. Mr. and Mrs. Kirk were able to attend the funeral.

Mr. Reynold Ketchup carried on at Caroona in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Kirk.

Mr. Ben Mason has visited Bre-wavrina but lately we heard he is on his way to Darwin—stopning in to say "Hello" to Mr. and Mrs. Bird at Fingal.

Mr. and Mrs. Victor Shaw are helping Mr. Wakerley a t Gular-gambone.

tea in our lovely little Narrandera Church about 5 p.m. and then a t 6 p.m. we had a meeting. A goodly number came along including Mr. Colin Warren, who is a big help in our work there, and the captain of the Salvation Army in Leeton. After a short sing song the Direc­tor showed slides of the various stations and then gave an inspir­ing word on God as "our Father" .

About 7.15 p.m. we left Narran­dera for Leeton where a good crowd was waiting for us at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Grant Jnr., Mr. Grant had gathered our people together in his home to meet the Director. We were thank­ful to Mr. Cecil Grant Senr., too, for his help in bringing some of the people in his car. Again Mr. Long showed slides there and gave another very inspiring message on "Being in Christ". These mes­sages were not only a blessing to those who heard, but also a real challenge. After this a very nice

supper was served and the folks then had an opportunity to meet and talk with the Director. Mrs. Daisy Higgins, daughter of Mr. Eddie Atkinson (a former native worker) was also there. Mr. Long also dedicated Paul Grant, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Grant to the Lord. After a very happy evening-there, we then returned home to Griffith.

On Saturday evening the Direc­tor again showed slides in our kitchen. This was for the bene­fit of our Griffith folk, as we haven't the electric light in our Church yet. Not very many came to this meeting, as it was very wet and cold. However those who did come enjoyed the slides very much.

Then on Sunday morning, the Director had the privilege of speaking a t the Griffith Baptist Church. As it was "Aboriginal Sunday" it was a real opportunity to tell about our work and its needs. Miss K. Davis who is holi­daying here with Miss Herron from Newcastle also assisted Mr. Long by giving the Children's Talk. That afternoon we had an "open" Sunday school and a lovely group including both children and adults gathered for this very special oc­casion. There were even visitors from the other Churches. Our children had been looking forward to the Director's visit too and now it was their opportunity to see and hear him. Both Mr. Long and Miss Davis gave very interesting stories which held the attention of everyone.

After Sunday School Mr. Long had the privilege of meeting our Sunday School teachers who help so faithfully here each week. Again at the night service, there was a nice gathering to hear the Director. At this meeting Mr. Long dedicated our little Church building to the Lord. We were happy to have with us for this special occasion Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Grant, Senr. Mr. Grant was able to lead the meeting and then the Director gave a very challenging message on "The Leper" as re­corded in Luke 5: 12. Early the next morning, the Director then left for Sydney. We enjoyed hav­ing him with us very much and t rust it will not be too long before he will be able to visit us again.

When do we first meet the Holy Spirit? Second in a series of Studies in the

Doctrine of the Holy Spirit by Rev. E. C. Long

I suppose many would say that we meet Him for the first time at our conversion, but strange to say we may have met Him a long while before that. In fact the Holy Spirit might be the first person of the Divine Trinity whom we would ever meet.

Perhaps we did not recognise Him when He first began to talk to us. Have you ever been in a group of people, several of whom you did not know? Simply because you were with them you talked to them, but a little later your host or hostess said: "I want you to meet Mr. So-and-so." You immediately replied: "Oh, I have been talk­ing to him for some time, but I did not know who he was!"

The same is true regarding our first meeting with the Holy Spirit. We may not know Who is speaking to us when He be­gins to tell us of our need of a Saviour. The Bible calls this "conviction" and our Saviour said in John 16:8: "And when He (the Holy Spirit) is come, He will reprove (convict) the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment."

Do you remember the first time the Word of God ever began to speak to your heart? For some of you it might have been a long time before you were converted. For others it may have been only the same night. Whenever it was, those first whisperings in your heart came from the Holy Spirit and He tried to convince you of your need of a Saviour, He showed you what a sinner you were and told you how much you needed Jesus Christ, the only One who could save you. That was when you first met the Holy Spirit. It may be that some did not listen to His voice

at first and so He had to speak again and again. Sometimes men harden their hearts against His voice and either His voice is stilled or else He has to do some drastic thing to make them stop and listen. This is all the convicting work of the Holy Spirit in seeking to win men to Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit in Conversion Supposing a man listens to

the voice of the Holy Spirit and says: "Yes, I will take Jesus Christ as my Saviour." What happens then? There are a great many things that happen to us in the moment when we come to Christ. For example, we are reconciled to God the Father. We are accepted in the Son and the Holy Spirit comes upon us from above.

In John 3 our Lord told Nicodemus: "Except a man be born again (from above) he cannot see the Kingdom of God."

Our Lord said very plainly in the verses that follow that this birth from above is by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit comes down upon us and gives us new life and a new nature. He also comes into our hearts and indwells us for the rest of our earthly lives.

He also takes us and places us into the body of Christ and makes us a member of His Church. We will look at these points one by one as we go through our studies together.

The Holy Spirit Indwells the Believer

The moment the sinner comes to Jesus Christ for sal­vation and is born again, the Holy Spirit takes up His abode in the believer's body. (1 Cor. 3:16.) "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you."

In John 14, verses 17 to 23, our Saviour tells us that the Holy Spirit dwells with us and is in us and makes His abode with us. This all happens in the moment of conversion.

Many people would try to tell you that the coming of the Holy Spirit into the believer's heart is entirely separate to the moment of salvation. In my own experience I found this to be one of the most tragic and emptiest periods of my Christian experience. I had heard about the Holy Spirit and what He could do for believers and 1 constantly sought His presence in my heart and life not knowing that He had already taken up His abode there at the time of my conversion.

Then it came to me one day through the Word of God, es­pecially I Cor. 3:16, that the Spirit of God was already dwelling in my heart. I ac­cepted this by faith and it made a tremendous difference im­mediately in the whole of my life. I have never doubted it since and I would say to you who are seeking the Spirit's pre­sence that if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour, then the Holy Spirit today is dwelling in your heart.

Next month we will consider the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Borroloola, N.T. This is my first report to the

Evangel. I hope you are all well and happy. We are all well and happy here in Borroloola. We are very happy to have our mission­aries, Mr. and Mrs. Pattemore, back with us again- We praise the Lord that they have arrived safely here a t Borroloola.

Mr. Main and Mr. Field went away. They are going about to visit every cattle station, and to have meetings with the people. They are going to meet different people in different places—those who never heard of the Saviour. We don't know just where they are, we haven't heard from them yet. We always pray for them, that God will take care of them, and that God will supply their need.

We are very, very glad to hear one of our Church members in Singleton Bible Training Institute, Tiny is going to learn more about God's word. She is in Singleton now, training to be a missionary, and will be able to come out to tell our own people about the Lord Jesus, if it 's the Lord's will, who knows? God knows.

We do pray for others of our Christian people out on the Table­lands that they will witness for Him out there. We always have a meeting every Tuesday and Friday night in our Church and on Sun­day in the morning and in the afternoon. Everybody always comes to those meetings to hear God's Word and to learn to sing hymns and choruses.

We had our Communion meet­ing yesterday in the Church. Eight of us were in the meeting. We had the Lord's supper. Some of our Church members are not here—one is sick and of course some are out on the downs working. This is all for now, so I'll close with Christian love.

Balladoron, N.S.W.

These past weeks we have had so much to thank God for. The country has been so dry and now all around us it is lovely and green and once again we are re­minded that every good gift came from above. How good is the God we adore! Praise His Holy Name.

Since my last report we've been out to Quambone, N.S.W. and my husband together with Mr. Fred Ferguson and others, had the op­portunity of taking services among our people there.

We were encouraged to see their willingness to come along to the night meetings in spite of the cold weather. Fires were built out in the open and seats erected, then the folk sat around quite comfortable.

There is a little Sunday School there too. I was happy to help Mrs. A. Ferguson and others gather the children together on Sunday afternoon. The children were quite interested in the flan-nelgraph stories which I showed them.

Fred Pegus has gone to Wel­lington and has s tar ted up the work there again. Quite recently one of the old residents of Welling­ton passed into the presence of the Lord (Mrs. Julia Stewar t ) . Bill and I were able to at tend her fun­eral, and later that night together with Fred Pegus held a memorial service in the A.I.M. Church and had quite a good gathering.

On Aborigines Sunday a t Wel­lington, the Presbyterian Church folk entertained a par ty of our young people, sending out a bus to pick them all up and taking them into the Presbyterian Church, where tea was served in the hall, and slides were shown. After the service at night all the guests were again taken home by bus. All were very happy after a lovely evening.

Our folk a t Gilgandra and Bal-ladoran are well, and looking for­ward to a time of blessing in the coming Convention over the Christmas period. Our prayers are that you will plan to come and join in fellowship.

Fingal Point, N.S.W. Mrs. George Browning—Fingal

has lost a loved one who has fin­ished what she had to do and has gone to meet her Master and Saviour Jesus Christ our Lord. Her work and life have been a witness to all those she had come to know. Both white and coloured people loved her and although she has gone home Mrs. G. Browning will not be forgotten here. She has been a beloved sister to us, our prayers are for those whom she has left behind, tha t the Lord will comfort their hear ts .

We were sorry to hear about Mr. David Kirk who has lost his mother and pray tha t the Lord will comfort the bereaved ones hearts . Mr. and Mrs. Kirk are here on their way back to Caroona.

We are asking prayers for the young folks and teenagers whose night meetings are on Thursday and Fridays.

July 21st, of Mrs. Julia Stewart of Wellington, aged 68 years. Mrs. Stewart was fully trusting her Saviour and was ready for her "Home Call".

A Letter from Balronald, N.S.W.

Dear Aunt Evangel, This is my first let ter to you to

let you know the news from Bal-ranald since Miss Ayling left. Since then six more people have given their hearts to the Lord and the change in them is something wonderful to see—praise the Lord!

There was a wedding here in Balranald last month on the 9th. Mr. A. Kellv wed Miss Christine Mitchell.

All of us here look forward to every Sunday to welcome Mr. Page or Mr. Shannon or other people from South Australia.

We all send our best wishes to Miss Ayling and may God bless her. We all miss her here a t Bal­ranald. Well, Aunt Evangel, I must close, with Christian love to all,

SECOND OF A FOUR PART SERIAL

Kidnapped Father by P. A. Magena from "Our Africa"

A l f l T H head bowed and the letter still crushed in one

hand, John walked to the prin­cipal's office. The principal, Mr. Moffat, was going through the school fees list when he heard a soft knock at the door. "Come in," he said.

John entered but broke down when he tried to explain about the letter.

"Has your father died?" asked Mr. Moffat, knowing about his sickness. John handed him the letter to read. "My son, don't be so upset," he continued. "I know about your ambitions. I'll help you with the £15 so that you may complete your matricu­lation." (University Entrance Examination).

John was so relieved he didn't know how to thank him. More tears streamed down his cheeks — tears of relief and joy. He looked into the prin­cipal's face and tried to thank him, but no words would come.

"Let's thank the Lord to­gether for this help," said Mr. Moffat. They both prayed.

The same day John answered his mother and told her that the principal had offered to help him with his school fees. She was very happy and left her washing to go and read the letter to Chatuluka. They both rejoiced together.

"You look happy today, Chatuluka," said the doctor as he made his rounds. "Yes, sir, the school principal has helped my son with his school fees so that he can complete his matric­ulation."

"No wonder you've got an appetite. That's great news," said the doctor.

A T the end of the year John got a first class pass. This

increased his chance of getting a bursary which he had applied for while at college. The medi­cal career he hoped for was now

in sight. During the holidays he worked at the Non-European Affairs Department as a clerk.

Life was brighter for their family once again. Chatuluka started to recover gradually after his eighteen months in hospital. The doctor told him that he would soon be dis­charged. The family was de­lighted when they heard about it. After four weeks the great day came. The doctor found him fit to resume his duties and he was sent home. And then— right then — calamity struck again. Between the hospital and his home, Chatuluka disap­peared!

Nobody had a clue about it. It was the talk of the town. Did he lose his way? Was he killed on the way? Was he kidnapped? What could pos­sibly have happened? Was he arrested? Not even the police had the name of Chatuluka in their books.

So things ran on. It was now the ninth week, but the mystery remained unsolved. It had beaten the police. Naomi was losing hope, and the child­ren had given up asking where their father was.

"What's all this trouble for?" thought John. "When I was at the college my father became sick. When he recovers and we look forward to better things, he disappears." But John had not lost hope. He kept on pray­ing that one day he would know what had happened to his father.

I T was the same week the letter arrived — a letter with

a Johannesburg stamp, but without a signature. It was

written in broken English. "Dear John, your father he is not died. We kidnapped him. We must make a deal if you want him back alive. You fix our permits. If you don't we'll kill him. Keep this a secret, if you tell somebody you, too, will be killed. We meet tonight in Muhlongo Street 10 p.m. We shall give you our permits. Do like we tell you." That was the letter.

"Who can have written this?" John asked himself. He could think of no one. But it seemed to be somebody who knew him.

"What shall I do with it? They say I shouldn't tell any­body. If I do, I also might be killed." John thought carefully. At last he decided he must tell his mother.

She collapsed after John read the letter to her. So he called Nomandlovu, the woman next door to help him. When John's mother came round, she asked about Chatuluka at once. "Where is your father, John?" John nearly put a hand to her mouth to stop her. But it was too late. Nomandlovu had heard about it.

"Where is he? Tell us, John, tell us." She said excitedly. John had to explain the whole matter to her. But he made her promise to keep it a secret.

John sat with his head in his hands, not knowing what to do. "Don't sit there like a fool. Go and report quickly to the police," said Nomandlovu.

"No, don't go," said John's mother, "this is very dangerous." Shouting at the top of her voice, Nomandlovu said: "If you don't go, I'll go myself."

TOWN MOURNS ROAD ACCIDENT VICTIM

From "The Pastoral Times", Deniliquin, N.S.W.

Miss Ada Whyman, aged 16 years, a Salvation Army lass, who was killed in a tragic road accident in Deniliquin, had been a leader in the Salvation Army in her town.

Despite the crowded main streets in the town on the morn­ing when Miss Whyman's re­mains were conveyed to the cemetery, Police took over traf­fic control soon after 1 1 a.m. and halted traffic for the cortege.

The Salvation Army Band, of which Miss Whyman had been

a member headed the cortege, which was almost a mile long. In the main streets hundreds of people stood bare-headed and with bowed heads paying their last respects to a life wholly given to the Lord. Police officers on traffic duty stood at the salute as the cortege passed.

Lieut. Thompson of the Sal­vation Army said that both Miss Whyman and her brother had been keen workers for the Lord especially among the young people. Her sudden death had been a blow but she will live on in the memories of those who had known her.

A special service was held at the Deniliquin Citadel in honour of Miss Whyman in which civic leaders including the Mayor and Mayoress of Deniliquin, Alder­man H. G. Campbell and Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. F. M. Win-deyer, M.B.E. attended.

This would sum up Miss Whyman's life and testimony:

"Only one life, 'twill soon be past,

Only what's done for Jesus will last."

A.I.M. students win nation wide

contest Two trainees at the Abor­

igines' Inland Mission Bible Training Institute at Minimbah have been awarded prizes in the National Aborigines' Day writing quest.

Today is being observed as Aborigines' Day and to mark the occasion a number of Aus­tralia-wide competitions were arranged.

Miss Clarice Ivey has been awarded the first prize in the short-story section, while Frank Johnson won the essay prize in his section.

The Director of Child Wel­fare, Mr. Donald McLean, who is also known for his own liter­ary achievements, commented on Miss Ivey's story as follows:

"Excellent; this is more mature writing than most of the stories in the competition. One feels that the people concerned and the incidents are true.

"If Clarice would cultivate her interest and style she might, with maturity, write stories which could contribute to a better understanding of our aboriginal people."

REWARDING

In a comment on the writ­ing quest, the secretary, Mrs. E. Speight, said that the quest had produced results that had been wonderfully rewarding.

Miss Ivey, who comes from Port Augusta (South Australia) is 19, while Frank is 18, and comes from Griffith (N.S.W.).

There were three other en­tries from Minimbah in various sections of the competitions.

The presentations will be made to the Minimbah young people on Sunday morning at the Maitland Road Baptist Church, New.castle.

You will be pleased to hear that the Sunday School children were invited to sing at the Congrega­tional Church last Sunday, Abori­gines Sunday. Quite a number of them came. Mr. Arthur Price brought them in his truck and Mr. Jones called for me. I played the organ. Mr. Jones conducted and the children sang very nicely and they behaved beautifully. Rev.

Rev. Jennaway, Raptist Minister, has invited us to sing at his Church next .Sunday week. The children are looking forward to

it. Mrs. Cockrill now comes to the

Mr. Walter Fejo writes from the Northern Terr i tory:

I'm assisting Mr. Stretton on this year 's itineration. These past weeks, we've visited nine cattle stat ions and the meetings were of great blessing to all.

Our disappointments came, yet WC rejoiced in them because we saw later on how the Lord under­took.

Our last meeting, the people gathered around about 7 o'clock and there were 1(15 present. Thev rejoiced to hear of the risen glori­fied Lord.

Cowra. N.S.W Dear Aunt Evangel,

This is my first letter to you. I hope you are well, as we are well here. I gave my heart to the Lord on the 12th June. I did the competition last month also again this month, at the moment we are having some very cold weather here. I am 12 years of age, and in (ith class at the Cowra Public School. I will close now. May God bless vo" with love from, HELEN CONNORS.

(Dear Helen, Thank you for your letter, and for doing the com­petitions. I am sure they will heln you to get to know God's Word. That was good news that you have given your heart to the Saviour, lie will be your friend right through your life and will never leave you alone, and can help vou in your school work or whatever you are doing if you ask Him. I hone it is warmer for you now than when you wrote—Cowra can be a cold nUce. With love

Dear Teenagers, I greet you all in Jesus'

name. Did you know that our A.I.M. was 55 years old on the 1st of August? It was founded at Singleton on August 1st, 1905, and since then it has grown tremendously with sta­tions in Eastern Australia and the Northern Territory.

Hasn't the Lord been good to us? Why, He has blessed us with wonderful missionaries who taught us about the Lord Jesus and the lovely hymns and choruses we sing.

We have a Bible Institute where our young people could train for the Lord's service and we also have a children's home.

There are many other won­derful things the Lord is bless­ing us with too. Do you ever stop to thank Him for His won­derful blessings and faithfulness? I trust you do. Remember every good and perfect gift, cometh from our Heavenly Father. God bless you JEAN H. PHILLIPS
