The new

year

in

Nigeria began with

the

KLlitary

GoTern-

ment

regulating

salaries

of civil servants

which includes teachers, doctors and

nurses, gome doctors and nurses are s t i l l on strike

in

Lagos State, However,

hospitals

here

in

Western State

seem to

be operating normally. One

evangelist

has been

receiving

treatment at the Otta

Bistrict Hospital

and another

evangelist

is

in

the

Otta Hospit al

r ight

now.

The

new

year brought dust

winds off

the Sahara

desert.

This

is ccmmonly

called

the harmattan, I t is a good time

for

us here in

the

rain fores ts as the

atmosphere

is

diy and refreshing to us after the constant humidity. However,

the dust winds are a ha ard at the airports especially in Kano, Jos and iaduna.

The

new year brought a petrol and kerosene shortage. With the truckers

strik

ing the

rmy commandeered

the tankers and petrol is

now

available.

However,

the

price has increased.

Search the Gcrlptures radio

program

requires reams of mimeograph paper for

the

free

copies

of the

radio messages

that we offer

and

for the

lessons of

the

correspondence course. In

1974

paper products

doubled

in price.

The

Nigerians

are also aware of this rise in costs and we have

been

receiving offerings from

people who are grateful for the . radio messages and the correspondence course.

We thank God fo r His p eople

In February, Bon and Walter Smith

will

be

visiting and

teaching in the

Eiver Bible School in the East, Pray for

them

as they

go

Cr o s s

e

thank the Father for giving us the opportunity to live-and work in Nigeria,

flfey He bless you as He blesses

us
