HERE AND THERE "Only a missionary-minded church can hope to survive in a society that considers the ethics of Christianity impractical and outmoded. The mission of the church is two-fold: To win men and women to individual commitment to Christ and to put Christian principles to work transforming communities." The Women's Guild sent 380 lbs. of clothing to St. Louis recently and also provided eight cents a pound to pay for the transportation to Europe. Another large pile of clothes awaits shipping. A card was received from Ray Stangs when they were visiting in California. A card was received from Edythe Gerdom, Marilyn Busso and Evelyn Ellerhoff while in South Dakota on a trip.
