UNDERSHEPHERD MEETING

The undershepherds will meet in the social room Tuesday, the 6th of Nov. at 7:30 p.m. These faithful hard-working members will review the things they have been doing, and make suggestions regarding the program for the futu4re. Another date will be set for an "open house" in the parsonage and the areas to participate will be selected. The undershepherds have been very helpful in reporting changes of address, sickness and other situations in which the pastor could be very helpful. They have been very helpful to our members in transmitting or interpreting activities to our many members.
The previous "open house" experience was delightful. Three of our northern areas were included. The people began to arrive about &;00 o'clock. After a cup of coffee and a few good cookies, and with a bit of visiting with each other, they left again. All those who shared the evening were enthusiastic about this opportunity to have fellowship with each other and the parsonage family.

NEWS FROM ECUADOR

When Mr. and Mrs. Streich and I arrived at Picalqui at 9:00 at night Saturday, July 28, we found the doctor from a neighboring farm was operating on a 12 year old Indian boy being assisted by Mrs. Mabee (?). It seems that on this farm, about five miles away they were using cows instead of bulls. This boy seems to have got in the way of an infuriated cow, and his face was ripped from top to bottom. The only place they could think of to bring the boy for any medical treatment or surgery was our farm, so they brought the boy at 7:30 p.m. Without any anaesthetic, the doctor had to patch the boy's face together and stitch it up. The doctor and the farmer agreed to pick the boy up the next morning at 6:30 to take him to Quito for further medical or surgical treatment. However, they did not turn up and a note had to be sent to them, saying that the boy was very seriously ill, Mrs. Mabee (?) having been up with him most of the night in her kitchen. It would appear that these people had continued to celebrate and had overslept on Sunday morning. The incident shows the attitude of the white people toward the Indian. After all, this was only an Indian boy and he was probably going to die anyway, so why worry? However, we told them that an Indian boy was just as valuable as a white, so he was taken to Quito.
