COURSE OF ACTION SET

The congregation at l^berg, having been without

a minister for an extended period of time, extended

a call to us early in February

to come and devote at

least part of our time to thera* It seemed unwise to attempt the establishment of a new work when one of our present oongregations was without sufficient guid ance, and so we have accspted that call. This means
that ur work will be two-fold: we shall conduct the

services of the Wynberg congregation and lead in that work generally, and we shall be doing some survey
work to determine the best location for a new work in the southern suberbs to be started by the Jim Parises
late this year or early next year.

Our work at Wynberg will consist of

leading in

the regular services, and attempting to strengthen tho congregation so that they may be able to stand on

their own two feet in the years to com^ , ibth Patti

THE LITTLE CHILDREN

"You must let the little children come to me, and you must never prevent their
coming. The kingdom of Heaven belongs to the little children like these, I tell you, the man who will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child will never get into it at all," Matthew 18:16, 17
THE CHILDREN HERE IN CAPE TOWN have a consider

able amount of general Bible information which they

can come up with at a moment's notice. The reason

for this is that the children are taught the Scrip tures daily in the schoolroom. Religion is not taught, as such, only the Bible. Our task, then, is to supplement and strengthen that knowledge, and to help the students to apply it to their own lives.

PATTI IS TEACHING A LIVELY GROUP of Juniors at Wynberg on Sunday mornings. The first Sunday she taught them was a very warm day, and the class met in a metal shed
beside the church building. The hot sun on the little shed created the general effect inside of being in an electric broiler-oven. By the time class was over, the

temperature had risen to above 100 , and everyone was beginning to curl up on the
edges. Patti remarked firmly, "We'll just have to do something about thatl" THE NEW FRIDAY AFTERNOON SWORD CLUB is meeting with resounding success. The children really enjoy the meetings, and are taking part very well in the Bible les-sons and drills. We have divided the group into two "armies" for the sake of compe tition, and the children are throwing themselves into the Bible memorization and other activities to win points for thelrLj'army",

DOH AND PATTI HART

CAPE TOWN FOR CHRIST

MANY DEAR FRIENDS IN CAPE TOWN

We have many dear friends already among the church

folk in Cape Town, not only at Wynherg, but also in the

other churches. We want to introduce some of them to you from time to time*

One of the most striking of our Christians at Wyn-

berg is a very dear old colored fellow, Brother Thomas# One quickly learns from his life and speech that he is a very humble man-yet he is doing more for the Lord through personal witness and testimony than many far
younger men.

Can you picture with us Bro Thomas at the commun ion table Sundays, removing the cloth from the table,

folding it just so, placing it over the back of a chair, methodically putting down his song book, picking up his
Bible and giving the Communion meditation. The meditation lasts anywhere from 5 to^S-O-minutes,

depending on how much he has on his mind. One week he expounded his views on why women should wear hats to churchj another week he es^lained why we should not be cremated(the Lord was buried).. But he always has a good message on our communion with God. These others are
just thrown in as extras.

This dear brother is eighty years old, and yet looks

as if he might, like Mdsgs at the same age, (p 2)

(DEAR FRIENDS cont,) bo ready to lead the Lord's people out of bondage (the bondage of sin), and into the wonderful freedom of life '
in Christ Jesus,

Any older person who feols disheartened -vrtien con sidering opportunities for service should take note here* Brother Thomas is constantly strengthening all those about him, counseling the young, encouraging those older ones who need it, constantly drawing strength from
Jehovah,

Just to show how "young" Brother Thomas and his

wife really are, consider that they have an adopted daughtercutest little thing you ever sawjust 2 years oldl We just pray that at 80 we are still as active for
King Jesus as is Brother Thomas,

Cape Town for Christ

NEV/ MEETINGS FOR OLDER YOUTH

The extra seats were arranged in the living room; cushions were available in case we should overflow the seating capacity; the stereo was loaded with a big
stack of records; Chrissy was in bed, and the house was quiet. At 7:50 P.M., all was in readiness. Would they come? As we sat and fidgeted, or made a few last

minute adjustments in the arrangements of the flat, the hands of the clock moved relentlessly on towards 8:00. Finally, we heard laughing voices ascending the 3 flights of stairs up to our flat. There is
a pause, then a knock on the door. Our

first guests are here!

As we welcomed
<'\r

them and took their coats, others began to

arrive, then more, and more--until jt

seems that the living room will not be large enough. Suddenly we realized that everyone was there already, and that there are just enough chairs. We plunged into v^hat promised to be a tremendous
evening.

Thus began the Saturday evening "Squash Group". {I don't know why it is called a "squash" group, unless it is that we often drink a fruit drink here known as

"squash".) The group has been going nearly a month now, and seems to be catching
on very well. Last Saturday there were 16 young people gathered here to see a 16mm film, "Going Steady". The week before, we had a filmstrip on "Being Dif ferent". Each week we vary the program in order to maintain interest, and to lead these young people to walk better day by day in the path of Life. Will you pray for J:he ;success of these meetings? Three types of people are f.
coming; regular attenders at church who are Christians, those who are backslidden,

and Uiose who are unsaved.

WEATHER REPORT

JOPLIN, MISSOURI 6480 i

As there in the States, there are many different way s of telling the time of the

year. There is the weather, of course, which changes as the year progresses.

The sports which are being played are another indication of the time of year. In

stead of basketball giving way to baseball in April and May. we have Cricket going out and football (Rugby) coming into the spotlight. Soccer is also claiming its many enthusiasts at this time. V/e* .haven't managed to get a free evening to go watch any of these games being played, but we hope to do so one of these days.

MOTORING

One of the outstanding features of touring

South Africa is the excellence of its roads.

More than 4, 850 miles of blacktopped national

highways link the eight principal centers of

the country, and well-maintained provincial roads criss-cross each province. A total of
some 11, BOO miles of road is tarred. It is possible, except in the game reserves,

to make a comprehensive tour without leaving

the tarred roads. It is common practice to

make journeys of 500 miles and more comfortably in one day. There are gas stations along the national and provincial roads, having toilet and

workshop facilities. Gas costs vary between 43^

at the coast to about 56^ per gallon inland.

June, \^iol
Eoys and girls, we are wondering whether ANYONE at all read the African Junior page last month. Do you remember that we asked you to write us some letters? "Well, we are still waiting and hoping. If you have any interesting news about what you or your youth group has been doing for missions, we would love to hear about it. Perhaps we could even print your letter in the African Junior next
month.

Hi!

A LETTER FROM CHRISTOPHER

Know what I do on Friday afternoons? I go to Sword Club with Mommy and

Daddy, We have lots of fun there with all the kids. They come to Sword Club

after they get out of school on Fridays,

enjoy going there.

Of course, I'm a bit too young, but I still

First of all, we sing songs to Jesus. We get to pick our favorites. After singing, we have a sword drill. We need to practice using our swords (our Bibles) if we are to be good soldiers for Jesus, Daddy ;calls out a Scripture verse, and
then says, "Charge!" Immediately everyone looks up,the verse and the first one to find it gets to read it.""Of course, we have to know what we a^e reading about
in case Daddy should ask us to explain what we have just read. After the sword drill, we have a Bible lesson. Right now we are learning the books of the Bible, and a little about what is in each one, V/e are almost done now, and most of the kids can say nearly all the books of the Bible, Next comes the Bible game. Some of the games

E"

we play are Bible Tic Tac Toe, Twenty Questions,

and The Cat, I'll tell you how to play The Cat: First, the leader picks out a Bible name of any

length. Then she draws a space for each letter on the chalkboard. For example, for "Eden" she would draw
four spaces , Then the teams guess

fetters. If a team guesses incorrectly, the leader will draw a part of the cat (the head, then the body, tail,
ears, etc.) If a tearn guesses correctly, they have ( / a n o t h e r turn. The team to complete or guess the name
ai'e the winners.

After our games (sometimes we have crafts instead) we have our prayer and
our goodbye song, "Goodbye, Our God is Watching O'er You, " and then everyonie
gets some candy.

The best part of Sword Club, thouglk, is the memory -work. Before or after the meeting everyone gets a chance to say his incmory work he has? leari^cd Hivrxxig -tK

Do you know your ABC's? When you were small, you learned that A is for Apple, B. is for Ball, C is for Cat. Now that you are older, you can learn a new ABC's the Christian ABC's. Look at the space above next to the picture.
A tells us that All have sinned. Whom does the word All include? Does it include

your friends?
of the world?

Does it include you?

Does it include boys and girls in other parts

B says "But Christ died to save us from our sins. " When he gave His life on the cross, He paid the debt of sin for us. He paid it for our friends, too. And He paid it for boys and girls in other parts of the world.
C says that we must Come to Christ to receive our pardon from sin. Our friends

have to

come to Him too, and also the children around the world.

Jesus one time said, " I will never turn away anyone who comes to me. " Do you have your sins forgiven yet? If not, why not come to Jesus today? Perhaps
you are already a Christian, but you have unsaved friends. You can bring them to

Jesus.

You can help bring others to Jesus in far away places by helping mission

aries there.

MISSIONARIES USE GOD'S MONEY to v/in people to Jesus, One way to work for Jesus is to send money to missionaries. They will use it to buy Bibles and song books, or to Ihelp pay the ,rent so that they will have a place to live. Sometimes missionaries use money to buy milk for hungry children. Then sometimes they need money to buy flannelgraph stories or Bible Story books or film strips. Patti and Don Hart are teaching boys and girls in South Africa. They need mone"*^ to buy filmstrips and other things to help lead boys and girls to Christ, DO YOU WANT TO HELP? Will you use your time and talents to earn some "treasure" for the children of South Africa? If you want to do this, write Patti and Don a letter when you send your gift. Tell them how you earned it. Then---watch
for your letter in next month's African Junior.

)on C- patty. Hart Ihe Malay Quarter

i
Even to-day on a still evening in Cape
Town one can hear the Moslem priest in

the Malay Quarter calling the faithful to prayer. Their weird nasal chants seem to echo down the years as far back as the 17th Century when the Malay slaves were brought to the Cape by the Dutch East India Company. To-day the descendants of the slaves live in the Malay Quarter on the slopes of Signal Hill. They have largely retained thar identity, customs and traditions, so the area with its flat-topped houses rising up the mountain slope in colourful pro

cession, is by far the most distinctive and atmospheric

in the Peninsula, The district is full of surprises.

One encounters turbaned sheiks, men wearing fezzes and sometimes veiled Moslem women clothed in glossy silks.

Many of the houses are painted with green, jeUow, pink

and blue wash and rising above them are the silver domes of the mosques, Mar^r of the narrow streets are

dilapidated and there are parts which are not the last word in clesLnliness, but all this somehow adds to its charm. The people are honest and hardworking and one can an^Dle through the streets in the daytime in safety. copied from VISITORS GUIDE

CRUSADE

FOR CHRIST
From July 2h to 28, a wonderfiil Christian ex
perience was enjoyed by all of us here in Cape Towri. We had asked your prayers last month for this Crusade with Dr. and Mrs. Paul Benja
min of L.C.C. and now want you to knov; that those prayers were
answered.

The Christians here in Cape Tovm have been thrilled with the response to the Gospel which we have seen this past week. The crowds at the Crusade were quite goodwell over a hundred

each night, with the highest attendance being l57. The church
folks of our congregations really supported the meeting and many other folks of the area attended each night as well. All in allj we were much blessed by the meeting in every way and feel it was well worth the efforts and prayers which both we and you put into it. Certainly the Lord was glori fied by the responses made to the Gospel invitation. While the Benjamins were here in Cape Town, the preachers here took the opportunity to avail themselves of Bro. Benja min 's teaching abilities and shared together in a morning class on the book of Philippians. We have all been strength ened by the study and felt richer in the Gospel for it.

TEN RESPONSES TO GOSPEL!!

POSTEIS IK THE RAIN Imagine

our chagrin when, just three

days after putting thon up, and before our Crusade had actu ally begun, our large, roadside advertising posters were

soaked by rain and blown down by violent winds I People surely must have thought us crazy as we rushed about in the rain, gathering up wet posters and stuffing them into our car. We managed to get them dried out and back up on the li^t poles again, within a couple of days, and so we still got the pub
licity that we needed.

CHINESE PARTY Our Saturday evening squash group had a highly successful parts after the Chinese style, not long ago. We all sat around a low table and ate Chow Ifein, Chinese fried rice, and other things, with chopsticks. Then, a returaed missionary from China spoke to us concerning the work which he had done there and challenged us to follow the Lord's leading in our lives.

JOY IN SERVING JJSUS We separate forms.

had

opportunities to rejoice in

our service to Him this past week; it was pointed out to us in different circumstances that this joy can take strangely

Whether picking up wet posters in a pouring

rain or taking the confessions of faith of those "vdio accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, still we can rejoice in knowing we are doing that which is advancing the cause of King Jesus.

PROHjEMS Of course, there are always things i-diich cause trouble for the work. This past week, during tlie CxTisade for
Christ, the VW broke down out on the road from the Gordon

Nelsons' home. From the sound of it, I suspect that the mo tor will need to be overhauled completely. Estimates on these

repairs

run

to about $300.

I intend, with the help of Bro.

Derry Smaage, to tear the engine down in a couple of days and see exactly what is the trouble. Pray for us in the neantime. It takes three times as long to get places on the bus, and we are rather limited in the places to which we can go.

With this December issue of the "Accent," we close our first year in South Africa. It has been a good year and for this we thank YOU who have supported us. We cajiie to you with plans on our lips and hopes in our hearts, but only through your help were those plans to reach fruition, those hopes to be realized. We feel that your efforts on our behalf have been worth it all, and we hope that you will, too, when you read the detailed report of the year's work planned for the January "Accent."

OUR THANKS
to those who have kept us unceasingly in your prayers. The

sstrengtheninc we receive when we hear of your intercessions and pleadings on our behalf you can never know--but know this, you
will not lose your reward.

to those whose generosity has been our necessity. Man does

not live by bread alone, but neither can we long live without itr Ftor encouragement to continued giving we can only urge you to
read Mai. 3:10. Riches are to be ours more than we can receive. Please do continue to pray, to give, to write news of home. We continue here as your ambassadorsand God's.

Oh, Christmas is a funnytime,

Down on the southern

side

Of this big wondrous

world of ours.

Where we do all
abide.

But one thing remains unchanged...

What Christmas is all about.

The manger scene;

the Son of Ciod Bom here...sin to rout.

So, as you have your

Christmas

With snow and icy winds

Remember Him who came
to save

Each one from all his

sins.

& Patti Hart--Capetown, South Africa

A Letter From Chrissy

Dear Friends,

Guess what I have a visitor! He's my best friend, and his nsBie is John Mark (Zinimernian). He's staying with us a whole week vrtiile his Momniy and Daddy are in Johannesberg.

I like him because he gives me piggy-back rides, and chocolate,

and because he's so funny. He makes me laugh all the time. He's been busy taking his final exams. I think he's real smart 'cause he can talk Afrikaans. I wish I could talk that language, too. Mommy says I'll learn it In school here in the first gradel John Mark said his geography exani was easy. He had to write an essay on the American Northeast! He had the advantage over all the

others because he's been theref wish I could go to school, too,

and learn about everything.
So long for now.
