Central Point Home Missionary Preaches Personal Evangelism By MAUDE ZIEGLER Mail Tribune Correspondent Central Point As a home missionary, the Rev. Lewis R. Collins of Central Point has paced the floor of country school houses and dance 'halls preaching the word of God. With only the light from kero sene lamps in which to view his listeners, he told them he had a religion that worked. He has ridden horseback on the mission trail in the Peace river country of Canada, and has ministered to missionaries in Japan. It is concerning this religion that he has written a book en titled "My God and I," pub lished by the Word of Life Press, Tokyo, Japan. Mr. Col lins has not sold the book to publishers, he stated, because he wrote it at the request of many Christian people, and he will use it in his ministry. However, the missionary said anyone desiring one of the books may obtain it from him.

The above item was taken from the Medford News of Feb. 23, 1934, published by Moore Hamilton, now Med ford postmaster. We don't know who sent it in, as the correspondent's name is not given with this or any of the rural Items. None of those taking part in the community club program reside here now. ' Something unusual, it seems to us, is that in our commu nity there is a man that has worked at the same place for more than 40 years. Fred Smith, an employee at the Modoc orchard, began work ing there in September, 1920, and since that time has been a continuous workman, doing the many Jobs that were as signed to him in a cheerful, manner. The next highest in time served at Modoc is John Dickey, who started there in 1927. This reminds us of the time wt had a young fel low working for us, and one morning he brought a buddy along who was younger than he who he said wanted to learn to do farm work. When we seem ed skeptical, he said if no one would hire his friend, he couldn't ever learn farming. We admitted he had a point, but told him he wanted me to give his buddy leuons in farming and pay him SI. IS an hour for taking them. The yellow blossoms of the wild turnip can be seen in many local fields, but a new weed much more harmful to crops has appeared in a few spots.

The book tells of God's re lationship to man and is in tended by its author to meet a need in the lives of many people. -It deals extensively with the deeper meanings of the crucifixion and the daily working power of the Holy Spirit in human lives. The au thor has dedicated the book to his mother, Mrs. F. E. Col lins of Skiff, Alberta, Canada, who is 78 and' "a child of God." Mr. Collins also does a daily radio broadcast, "Joy of Liv ing," over KRVC, Rogue Val ley Christian station in Ash land. Throughout his 30 years of ministry his greatest desire has been to reach the un churched, and this is his aim in the radio broadcasts. Mr. Collins and his family have lived in Central Point for 12 years. He was pastor of community churches at Trail and Wonder in Josephine county for a short time, and has done a great deal of work in personal evangelism. He I also has ministered in the to eradicate. Sam thinks it was brought into the valley by someone who got the seed in the midwest and planted it for hog feed, as hogs are very fond of the nuts and will practically plow a piece of land with their noses hunting for the nuts.

News of the recent death of Mrs. Frank Marsh, in Pasa dena, Calif., came as a severe shock to friends here, where she resided with other mem bers of the Lydiard family for several years.

Three years ago Mr. Collins spent four months in Japan, where he ministered to more than 1,000 missionaries, as well as speak ing to Japanese Christian con ferences and visiting Japanese homes. He also ministered to Chinese. During the trip he was join ed by Mrs. Collins, and the two visited former Rogue val ley residents, Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Fanger, son and daugh ter-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Fanger, Jacksonville highway, who are mission aries in Japan. Mr. Collins said their trip to the Fangers was made in the wake of a typhoon, and part of the jour ney was made by walking though rice fields and fording rivers where concrete bridges and highways had been washed away. Visit Hiroshima They also visited Hiroshi ma, where the missionary said there was little evidence left of atomic destruction, except in museum pieces. Mr. Collins described metal and glass par ticles melted from the heat, Plate glass windows from re- taurants were fused together. He said a bank building still was standing, pitted from the heat, but one small area of ti structure where a man hr.d been sitting was not pitted. Mr. Collins was born in Ok lahoma and spent his boyhood in Canada. Although he was reared in the atmosphere of the church and Sunday school his yearning to save souls came after his own real con version at the age of 19, while working on a farm in Canada. In his' book the author de scribes his conversion as he drove a cultivator in the field. He soon went . to Los Angeles, and as a youth he first talked to sinners on skid row. He was without answers and a full knowledge of the Bible, and was only able to say that Jesus had appeared to him and spoken his name. Later he graduated from St. Paul Bible college in Minne sota. "The Lord gave me a great love for people," he said, Vand visiting in homes has been a favorite means of contacting people with the story of sal vation." In the 1930s he served as a missionary while the Alcan highway was being built, cov ering the area on horseback. It was then he met his wife. They have four children. A son, Donald, is a missionary in Alberia, West Africa.

REGIONAL NEWS District 7 School Board Authorizes Construction Study Grants Pass - Parents from many schools in District 7 (Grants Pass) attended the school board meeting on Tues day, May 3, to bring to the board's attention the building needs of many schools In the district. As a result of a motion in troduced by William Otis of the Redwood area, the board, and Ralph Jones, city school superintendent, were instruct ed to make a study of the cost of construction necessary to relieve present overcrowding and to provide adequate room for the anticipated enrollment for several years. Also includ ed in his motion was a request that a bond issue to cover such expenses be brought be fore the people of District 7 no later than September or October of this year. Considerable discus sion centered around what possible action the county unit district might take on a bond issue to build a junior high of their own which would relieve crowded conditions now ex isting in South Junior High school. Board members, Dr. Ray Johnson and Mrs. Ed ward Wall, commented on the fact that the county board was scheduled to begin dis cussions on this matter at their meeting to be held on Monday, May 8. Jones noted, however, that while the building of such a school by the county would relieve conditions at South, it would not contribute in any way to solving the problems existing in the ' elementary schools at Redwood, River side and Roosevelt. Riverside, S 5 'HKCCEiSE In the same way that sterling on silver signifies a standard of known value, so is the A.B.C. em blem a symbol of integrity for the circulation of newspapers and periodicals. It means that circu lation so identified is measured according to the rules and standards of the Audit Bureau or Circulations The A.B.C. is a cooperative and non-profit association of 3,450 publishers, advertisers and advertising agencies. Organized in 1914, these buyers and sellers of advertising brought order out of advertising chaos by setting up standards for paid circulation and establishing rules and methods for measuring, auditing and report ing circulations. Therefore, the work of the A.B.C, of which this newspaper is proud to A.I.C REPORTS - in particular, presents a prob lem which was stated by its PTA president, Charles Sny der, in that there is no room for expansion at its present location and that a possible solution might be to build a new school at property al ready owned by the district in the New Hope or Portola areas. Science Wing Frank Thomas, principal of Grants Pass High school, clari fied the need for a science wing which had been pointed out by high school PTSA president, Mrs. R. J. Mllle mann. Such a heavy enroll ment In the laboratory courses has already been indicated for next year, that there is In sufficient room to accomodate all the pupils who have signed up for the course. It may be necessary, he said, to schedule an 8 a.m. class or one after school which will complicate the transportation system. The only other altern ative would be to equip an other room completely, and this presents difficulties since all the classrooms are already In use for the full school day. Leslie Green, in comment ing on building needs- in his area, made the suggestion that county and city school boards work together on the problem instead of each one waiting to see What the other would do. He urged the boards to get together to figure out the building needs for both districts and figure out a united plan which would then, in some mannor, be submitted to the voters of both districts.
