Repairs Gormley Missionary Writes News Letter From Africa The following interesting news letter was sent home to Canada recently from Miss Velma Bril- linger of the Mt. Shabezi Mission PBlOZM, Bulawago. Southern Rhodesia. Africa. Miss Brillinger was formerly of Gormley where she took an active interest in forâ€" eign mission work. She writes: Dear Friends: I have been intending to write to you for a long time but one week after another slipped by and still it isn’t done. how I will make a brave effort to get this finished before the post goes to- morrow. It is now 8.20 pm. and since we are only 592 hours ahead of you now. you are probably at church at the present time. Rather than change the school hours now that days are getting shorter, we move our clocks back one half hour. It’s really rather confusing since it is just a half hour and Bulawaga stays on reg- ular time. It’s still dark enough these mornings when we‘ get up at 5.30. School starts at 6.55 a. m. .50 we have prayers at 6.05 and breakfast immediately after. Needless to say. we don't like to keep too late hours at night with such a setâ€"up. Since tomorrow is a school holiday, we won't eat till 7.15. We have dinner in the ev- ening at 5.30, and it is almost dark by then. ‘ Today I did what I’ve been itch- ing to do for quite a while, but had to wait until I had a good ex- cuse, namely, to make a good fire in my fireplace! My room is equipped with a nice big one but since they are rather hard on the wood I thought I’d better wait until I.really needed it. This last week we had a spell of unusually warm weather for this time of year and on Thursday we even had a thunderstorm. That must have been the turning point, for since then it has turned cool and this morning there was a frost. Beth had the girls make shelters some time ago for some of the tomatoes and they are all right, but the ones in the open are nip- ped. We had been getting 'such ‘lovely ones too. I don’t know about the peas (we’ve been en- poying the best green peas lateâ€" ly) but the sweet peas which were blooming so well are spoiled â€" at least the ones in bloom. To get back to my fire. I built it up before I went to Y.P.M. this ev- ening and there was a lovely bed of coals when I got back. It does give the room such a cosy feeling but I've had the door to my sleep- ing porch shut all day so I don’t imagine it will feel very cosy when I’m ready for it. Fortun- ; ately I have lots of warm bedding along! The girls looked rather chilly in church this evening. I imagine they wouldn’t be long getting under their blankets. It hardly seems possible that it will soon be four months since we arrived in Africa. Time goes so quickly out here as well as in America. Of course there have been many ne experiences and yet on the who e our way of liv- ing is not so different“ as I had rather anticipated. It is true we don’t have everything we would have in America but neither do we suffer from the privations and inconveniences that our earlier missionaries did. In fact, it is quite largely due to the foresight and planning of those missionaries that we have things as comfortable as we have them today. It doesn’t hurt any of Us to do without a few things, if, by so doing, we can win some‘ of these people to the Lord. ‘ Of course, the African way of life in spite of many years of contact with Europeans is very different from what we have been accustomed to and their sense of values is so different too. Two very simple examples -â€" we en- tertained the teachers one even- ing and served them ice cream. Most of them were polite enough to eat it but am almost sure they would have enjoyed a bowl of thick, sour milk more! One of the teachers recently had to be dismissed on a moral charge, but he bribed those con- cerned and insisted till the bitâ€" ter end that he was not guilty. Somewhere they seem. to have gotten the philosophy that sin is not sin unless you are actually caught at it, nor have they learn- ed to value truth as they ought, They want to be considered Chris- ‘tians as long as it doesn't cost them anything in the way of be- ing mistreated or misjudged. We are praying especially for over- seers and teachers that they may be strong enough to stand for the right regardless of consequences and we're sure that the Lord can then use them to help the rest of the people. Mother may have told you some about Mt. Shabezi Mission where four of us girls who came out in January have been stationed. Two of the them are at the hospital unit which is about three-quart- ers of a mile from us, and Ruth Hunt and I are at the mission proper. We are about fifteen rods from the church â€"â€" it is a fine red brick building which‘ seats slightly over 400. At our‘ love feast service early in Aprill it was'filled to overflowing. but for ordinary services it is quite crowded since we have 300 girls here in Boarding School. I did not have so much contact with these girls when I first came ex- cept to supervise the Sunday ev- ening service. One of the teach- ers failed to return for this term and since they could find no one else to take his place before the opening of school I was asked to pinch-hit for' a while. It is one section of Standard 5 (corres- ponding roughly to Grade 7. I think) and I have 38 girls in the class. School just started on Tuesday, so it‘s a little early yet to judge but I think I'm going to enjoy teaching, at least some of the subjects. They have so much arithmetic and it never was one of my strong subjects so I’m go- ing to have to do some brushing up. I do enjoy the English and Bible classes. Tomorrow is a holiday, so I'll have time to study some South African geography and review my history! Incidentally, this is what is called a Central Primary School and Standards 4. 5. and 6 are taught. They are not per- mitted to have over 40 in a class so there are three \ections of 4 and 5 and two sections for stan- dard 6. Ruth Hunt is Headmis- tress. but she teaches only Bible for Standard 6. The other tea- chers are Africans. My best regards to all my Gormley friends. Cox-respondent: Mrs. Chas. Milsted Phone Stouffville 67104 Mrs. D.

Institute Anew-qu At the evening meeting on July 6th the Vellore Women's Instltute entertained the Edgeley Wm?“- We became acquainted With those of the visiting women We didn't know by playing a rallroad game. Each lady sat beside one of our guests and as each station was called out we changed Places and visited with another of our guests until all had been met. It was a very humorous and novel way of getting acquainted and certainly broke “the ice." The social committee had several other sociable games for our en- joyment. We then settled down to two most enjoyable films. One called “The Seasons” was photo- graphed by a 26 year old lad who had spent a year on a 160 acre farm bordering Lake Sim- coe. The film was of course. in colors, and had some most unus- ual camera angles requiring much ‘patience and an artistic eye to secure. It covered the four sea-y sons of the year and was well worth seeing. The other film, “Rendezvous on the Reefs", was filmed by a husband and wife who gave up ordinary careers to make their life on a yacht, and do deep sea diving. After anchor~ ing off the Bahama Islands they took their camera and went down to the sea bottom where they made friends with fish large and small. It was surprising to see fish come back time and again to be petted and fed from their hands and be jealous when others appeared to get more attention. These people depended on a small compressor floating on the surface above them in a small boat. Every so often they surf- aced to refuel the compressor and could stay down as long as six hours at a time. Both films were unusual and most interest- mg. W.M.S.
