- Shiloh and Asia -
The international relations
and influences which are in
creasingly bringing us all to-
gether, was wildly projected
here last week when the vast
and stirring continent of Asia
was brought into sharper focus
at Shiloh before a deeply i'm
pressed congregation. To begin
with, Medford's 19-year-old Kor-
can combat veteran, Charlie
Lambert, arrived home and was
happily in church. There is
much Charlie could tell the
congregation and we hope some
day soon he will. The Pastor is
very much in favor of all veter-
ans speaking from the pulpit on
their faith and experience. For
the message will help us all.
Pastor Phillips did introduce a
surprise speaker on Asia the
distaff side of one of the most
authoritative and much sought
after mission teams in the ma
ton, Mrs. Fridell, wife of DR..
Elmer A. Fridell, Secretary of
the famous American Baptist
Foreign Mission Society of the
American Baptist Convention,
both DR.. and Mrs. Fridell hav-
ing recently returned from East
Asia, which is the Doctors mis-
sion field. Many churches have
not yet heard the Far East re-
port and Shiloh became one of
the fortunate firstS. 1t goes
without saying that Mrs. Fri
dell's Mission report was well
received. Also Welcomed back
to Shiloh service last Sunday
was the fine inter-racial mem
ber and worker, Mr.. William
Conners of Billings, Montana,
who did such a splendid job
stimulating the Shiloh Chris
tian Endeavor to new success.
Mr.. Conners will now assist with
other duties. Mr.. Percival o.
Austin of Norfolk, Virginia, will
assist Shis term with the Shiloh
Christian Endeavor and Center
youth groups. Mr.. Walter Isaacs
will be Baptized at Shiloh this
Sunday morning. The addition
of Mr.. IsaacS to the growing
Shiloh staff will be welcomed
throughout the Church Union,
since he is one of the best recog-
nized sports coaches of boys in
Medford. 1t is quite possible
that Shiloh may have future
teams in bowling, track, base
ball and other sports, in addi-
ton to basketball, in which
Shiloh already holds the city
church league title. The Clean
er Fall Rally to raise funds for
many planned programs will last
through November and every
one is urged to contribute. viii
you help your church preserve
your community? That is the
issue in a nutshell, folks.
