Presented

the management of the Royal
York Hotel, Toranto, at a special
function on Saturday, April 23.

Travellers, hospital patients, pri-
son inmates and many others are
aware of the activities of The Gid-
eons but few know how this organ-
ization started its world-wide op-
erations,

A bedtime conversation between
two Christian salesmen, who were
sharing a room in a crowded hotel,
led to the founding of the well-
known lay movement in 1899. To-
day there are 22,700 members in
73 countries. 2,150 of these mem-
bers are Canadians, organized into
169 local branches, called camps,
Members werk quietly and unab-
trusively in their communities,
seeking to give a spiritual and
moral uplift to others.

Gideons, themselves, voluntari-
ly provide about 30 per cent of
the Canadian budget of $400,000.
The balanee comes from interest-
ed Christian friends and through
the operation of a Memorial Bible
Pian, Qualifications for member-
ship call for a personal faith in
Christ as Saviour and Lord and a
belief in the Bible as the inspired
Word of God.

The first Bibles were placed in
a Canadian Hotel by the Gideons
in 1911. By 1952 the first million
copies had been distributed, The
three millionth milestone was
reached in 1961, indicating the
ceaseless activity of this modern
Gideon army. Internationally, four
million Scriptures are distributed
yearly,

A major program in Canada in.
volves the annual presentation of
more than 200,000 New Testaments
with Psalms and Proverbs to Grade
5 public school children, And thou-
sands of Bibles have been placed
in the dormitory rooms of College
and University students. A Ladies’
Auxiliary presents attractive white
bound Testaments to student
nurses. ,

As a consequence of their Scrip-
ture placement activity, the Gid-
eons receive a steady flow of let-
ters from persons who have exper-
ienced spiritual help. The writers
are old folk and youngsters, drunk

APOLOGY

The Walter Schedel listed in last
week's Magistrate's Court column
is not the Walter John “Schedel
who resides at 5016 Agar Avenue,
Terrace. This newspaper apologizes
for any unpleasantness caused Mr.
Schedel due to the duplicity.

Five Millionth Bible

by Gideons

An historic milestone was commemorated last week as the five
millionth Scripture was placed in circulation by The Gideons Inter:
national in Canada, A beautiful gold-covered Bible was presented to

and dry, saints and sinners, but
all with the same basic message —
“Thank You.” Gideons look upon
themselves as an arm of the

Christian Church, helping. to
catry out Christ’s great commis-
sion to take the Gospel to every
creature.

Dispatch

by Poul Bogelund

PD gg,

Every indication is that the field
and track clinic at Prince George
will be a very successful affair.

Promises an attendance of five,
possibly six candidates for the
coaching course, while Branch No.
13 hopes to send an equal number,
including yours truly. Don’t expect
me to return as a full fledged
coach — I am going along to see
what is going on and to let the
rest of you know what a wonder-
ful opportunity you missed,

Greetings and welcome to an

aire, J. A. Barman, who is paying
us a visit to see for himself whe-
ther Terrace is really progressing
as fast and furious as reports in-
dicate.

We take a special pleasure in
announcing the award of a grant
of $250 to Leona Goodlad. Leona
is a student at Skeena High School
and intends to pursue her studies
for the teaching profession, at the
Simon Fraser University. Best
wishes to you, Leona, we are sure
you will make the grade and be
a credit to your school, your pro-
fession and your town,

It must be the effects of spring
— our hospital list has been cut
considerably. Comrade Halliday
from Branch No, 220 and Comrade
Whitten from Branch No. 107 are
still in hospital, both improving,
Comrade Blackmore from Branch
No. 4 is reported out of isolation.
Best wishes to all for a speedy
recovery. Comrade Flemming from
Branch No. 27 is still under ob-
servation, while P/O R. F. Lamb
has been transferred to Comox
for further treatment: Comrade
Van Herd is sufficiently recovered

to merit an early discharge.

Canadians everywhere are on the move in Canada...
drinking-in the magnificent scenery in complete comfort
... the way of the worry-free, “traveliving’’ CN. Never
before have fares been so low, trains so fast, food so
fine, and travelling so much fun. From now until May
