His answer was, "My call to the ministry began while 1 was still a boy back m those beautiful hills of Mis souri, Bill Fleming, an evan- gelist, stirred my mind about letting God have His way in my life by serving Him in the mi- nistry. However, in the fox- holes in Korea, the call was made more definite. While I was over there, 1 really deter mined to go to Bible School and study for Hie ministry. Korea was a place where you either made something out of yourChris tian experience or forgot it altogether. I now know, to know Jesus Christ is to have LIFE and to SERVE Him by preaching the gospel is satisfaction be yond words.” Erldene and his wife, Wanda, have five children. They are Steve-14, Mike-12, Sheila-9, Rhonda-6, and Kevin-2. Erl dene and Wanda were married while in college atCentralWash- ington Bible College in Selah, Washington. When 1 asked Erl dene to describe his wife, he said, "I would tell you about her but they (Gate City Journal) wouldn’t allow space for that, so you come to The Christian Church and meet her. I think she is Number One.” The Christian Church began its ministry in Nyssa in 1939. The new church was finished and dedicated in 1952 while the Reverend Hollingsworth was Die pastor. Their average wor ship attendance is about 90 with an average Sunday School Page Three attendance of 79. About 140 persons make up the Christian Church family. In the last two years they have become very missionary mmdedandarehelp ing to sponsor six missionary families or missionary pro jects. This year the Christian Church of Nyssa paid the cost of sending Erldene and his fa mily to do home missionary work in the hills where he was born and first felt Hie call to the ministry. To Erldene this was one of tlie outstanding ex periences of his ministry. The church is planning on sending them bark again next summer. I and other pastors of Nyssa and Adrian enjoy sharing Christ’s ministry withErldene. Next week I will tell you about the ministry of the Reverend Dale Hayford and the Bible Missionary Church.

However, Samuel explained, textbooks and other educational equipment are financed privately through the Board of Missions. Teacher salaries are paid by the Indian government. As for building needs, he said many college classes are being held in a sister high school classrooms before and after re gular high school hours. Samuel is a church Lay Leader and Lay Leader of the South India Annual Conference. He earned his Master’s Degree from the University of Denver in 1959 after two years at the Colorado institution. Graduates of his college in India are certified to teach in all elementary schools in his state of Mysore. Samuel has been in the U. S. for three months, spending a month and a half in eastern states. He is currently touring Oregon and Idaho and will go to Washington state next month. Followers of the Christian religion comprise only three percent of India's 550 million people, Samuel said. Eventually he said, the Methodist Church will join an union of Christian Churches in India, whichiscal- led The Christian Church of North India. The public is invited to hear S. Dathu Samuel.
