The Pioneer Spirit Still Exists
The inherent kindness and generosity of a small, Eastern
Oregon community came to light again this past week when
the friends and neighbors of the Bud Sappe family turned to
and helped them after a destructive fire leveled their home
last Wednesday.
This happens time and again, not only in Nyssa, but in
surrounding communities when difficulty or tragedy strikes
a family or individual. In spite of the callousness and in
difference which we read about, and is supposed to exist
throughout the nation, when the chips are down the bulk of
our American people always come through.
On our front page last week we showed the Sappe home
in flames, totally destroyed, and the family unable to rescue
as much as a few pieces of clothing. This week, in a picture
taken from the same spot, we see the foundation in and a new
home well on its way.
This all happened, as the story shows, with the help of many
In the old time tradition
people who rose to the occasion.
people pitched in, and will continue to pitch in, to help this
family overcome a major loss.
Not only nave friends helped with clean-up ana new con
struction, but so many have given clothing and other essentials
that were wiped out by the flames.
Saturday night the Owyhee Riding Club is sponsoring a
dance, the proceeds to go to help the family. This group
has done this many times in the past, the most recent to
help Rusty Talbot last winter after his accident, and they
are to be commended for their kindness.
In pioneer days the whole community helped a neighbor
build a house or a barn, with the men doing the carpentry
while the women sewed quilts and prepared food for the oc
casion. We are thankful that the pioneer spirit and helping
hands still exists in Nyssa.
Angels of Mercy
By Harriet Turner
I went up to a beautiful building,
Weary and ill and in pain.
Filled with fear and apprehension,
Would I ever--be well again.
My doctor came with a nurse in white,
Their faces showing their concern for me.
The nurse carefully checked each oraer he gave,
For each must be filled with loyal TLC.
Our nurses never seem to tire,
Nor be Impatient when we might unreasonable be.
Always willing and prompt to answer our call,
Models of dedication we could plainly see.
Time passed and each nurse wore a halo,
A more noble calling could never be.
1 renamed them our “Angels of Mercy,”
•As each nurse was an angel to me.

By Michael A. Guido, Metter, Georgia
It has been said that Mar
tin Luther had but one de-
sire-to give to his people the
Scriptures and the song book
in their own language. So
that the Lord might speak to
them directly through the
Scriptures, and that they
might speak to Him directly
through their songs.
Sacred songs have always
had an important place in the
worship of the Lord. Only in
sin is the song interrupted.
The captives of Babylon con
fessed this with shame and
sorrow in Psalm 137:4. As
they faced the taunts of their
captors, they asked, “How
shall we sing the Lord’s song
in a strange land?”
Songs are found through
out the Scriptures, and in thq r
95th Psalm the song leader
invites, “O come, let us sing
unto the Lord.” “But,” you
say, “1 can not sing.” Then
shout. For the verse con
tinues, “Let us make a joyful^
noise to the Rock of our
salvation.”
••
During a rehearsal, a picco 1
lo player took an illicit rest.
Sir Michael Da Costa, the'
director cried, “Where’s the'
piccolo?” Do not think or’
say that your voice does not
matter. The Lord will miss it
if you are silent.
I am singing to the Lord.-
Care to join with a song or a
shout?
