latában. A kis női csoport New Yorkban imádkozik testvéreinkért még buzgóbban, mint eddig tettük, és nem felejtkezünk meg adományainkkal támogatni a testvéreket. New York-i megbízott * * * AUGUST AT BETHESDA Another month at Bethesda has passed into history. It seems as though we just start a new month, we do a few things, and then we start another month. For those of us who are busily engaged, time passes quickly. To those who are inactive, time hangs heavy. For this reason, it is important that we carry a full schedule of activities for our residents through the entire year. This is not always easy since most of our helper organizations reduce or cancel summer activities because of vacations, or to rest before another season of activity begins. Two of our favorite activities survived the summer months. One was hymn sing which was under the leadership of Mrs. Gabriel Petre, and the other activity was bible study hour under the very capable leadership of Mrs. Irma Matrai. These servants of the Lord are faithful throughout the entire year. Our residents love these meetings as evidenced by the number in attendance. May God bless our volunteers and may we all grow in spirit as a result of their efforts. Your administrator and his wife were away on vacation from the 12 th of July to the 6th of August. In my absence, Dr. H. Ellis Plyler very capably administered the operation of your Home. He has so graciously served our Home for the past six years in my absence. He knows and loves our residents and they in turn love him. We are grateful to God for giving us such a dedicated man who is willing to help whenever there is a need for his services. May God richly bless him for it. During our vacation, we attended our Hungarian Baptist Convention in Los Angeles. We also visited the Lake Tahoe area of California and then we flew to the east coast, where we spent time with family and friends. During our entire trip, we advertised your Home and the work that is being done with our aged loved ones. Our reputation spreads only by word of mouth since we do 6. oldal_________________________________ 1979.október 1. no advertising. In spite of this, requests come from all areas of our country and Canada. This means that your voices as well as ours are being heard by many people. We thank God for your faithfulness in prayer, support and the good word that you continually pass on to others. In July I made my report to the Convention in regard to the progress of the Home. I would be more than happy to send you a copy of this report if you would make your desire known to me. God has blessed your Home, but with the blessings go the responsibility of doing more for a greater number of his “children. ’’ We have tried to fulfill these responsibilities, and with your prayers and with God’s guidance, Bethesda is today a beautiful haven of peace and contentment for all people who come to us for loving care during the waning days of their life here on earth. God grant us the will to continue to serve Him and to brighten the little corner where we are. ErnestJ.

István Nagy, Brazil 50.00 $216.25 Are You God's Key? In the Old Testament God told Jonah to go to Niniveh and minister His word. But Jonah said no. Jonah was prejudiced against the Gentiles. He didn’t care for the people of Nineveh and he rebelled and went in the opposite direction. The greatest obstacle to the saving of Nineveh was not the people of Nineveh, but God’s man, Jonah. It was not the corruption of the people of Nineveh, not the taverns and the prostitutes of Nineveh, not the pool halls on Nineveh, not the graft-ridden police force of Nineveh. The biggest obstacle to the salvation of Nineveh was a pious, prejudiced man named Jonah. Jonah was the key to the salvation of the people of Nineveh. When he repented of his prejudice and rebellion and obeyed the simple Word of God, the people of Nineveh repented. Jonah was the key. Do you remember how Abraham interceded for Sodom and Gomorrah? We are told that God was willing to spare those cities for the sake of ten righteous souls. Could it be that God would “heal our land” in answer to the holy concern and desperation of God’s people? — George Sweeting (Moody Monthly, May 1974)
