Input, Oct. 11, 1979 * * * FUTURE SHOCK The present population of Earth is estimated at 3,500 million people and calculations, based on success of present population control programs, put it at 6,500 million by the year 2000 .... As many as two-thirds of the world’s present population are suffering from malnutrition and the threat of largescale famine is still with us despite some nutritional advances .... It has been estimated that a child born in the United States today will consume during his or her lifetime at least twenty times as much as one born in India, and contribute about 50 times as much pollution to the environment. “Menton Message” of 2,200 environmental scientists, in The UNESCO Courier. (A. B. Input, Oct. 18, 1979.) Return to the Lord Hosea 14:1-7 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away alt iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.—Verse 2 After eighteen days of constant travel and numerous exhausting concerts, we members of The Centurymen were eager to return to our beloved homeland. We boarded our plane at midnight in Brasilia, Brazil’s beautiful new capital city. As soon as we were aloft, the stewardesses served a sumptuous dinner. Then the lights were lowered, and we tried to sleep. After a brief stop in Caracas, Venezuela, to take on more passengers, we at last were over the ocean on our final flight before being “home" in America. Finally, we began to see traces of daylight; then the ocean below us suddenly was aflood with sunlight. People were waking up. Everyone was excited. Someone passed the word that our choir had been asked to sing for the other passengers. So, when the captain announced that we were over Florida, we sang together, “God Bless America." The entire plane fell silent then until the wheels touched down at Miami International Airport. Then we sang, “Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow.” We were home! Thank God that he is always ready to receive those who return to him. john w. bui.i.ock "Open Windows" From the Mission Fields HOMECOMING SUNDAY AT SILLIMAN Our pastor, the Reverend George 1966 — 1976; the Reverend and Mrs. Rowe, affectionately called “Skip” by everyone, came up with the idea of having a “Homecoming Sunday” at Silliman on October 21st. He sent a letter of invitation to all former members that he could think of and those that anyone else could think of. He also invited all former pastors of the church. There were four generations of members that responded to the invitation. When October 21st arrived, it was a beautiful New England autumn day. There were over 250 people in attendance at the service. Three choirs participated in the service: our local Junior Choir; our senior choir, and “a senior choir” made up of all choir members, former and present. We had fine pastoral representatives: Mrs. Susan Stumpf, wife of the Reverend Arthur Stumpf, 1931 — 1948; the Reverend and Mrs. William B. Molnár, 1948 — 1965; Reverend and Mrs. David Lindsay, Reuben Jeschke, interim pastor; and our present pastor, Rev. and Mrs. George Rowe. The men of the church prepared a beautiful dinner which was enjoyed and consumed by about 200 people as guests of the church. The dinner was served by a host of beautiful teenagers. Such joy and excitement that prevailed, when loved friends, who have not seen each other for years, met and became reacquainted and reminisched. After the dinner, those who didn’t have to leave, went back upstairs to the sanctury for a real old-fashioned hymn-sing and talent participation. We are grateful, first of all to our Heavenly Father for such a wonderful day, and then to our pastor who had such a great and blessed idea.
