A LAMB IN THE LAKE
The writer has a grandniece who when
she was just three years of age lived
near a lake about a mile above the Cove
nanter Church in Montclair, New Jersey.
One day in December 1942 she and a
half dozen other children started off
for a walk around the shore of the froz
en lake. She noticed some ducks on the
other side of the lake, left the other chil
dren and started off alone across the ice
to see the ducks. The other children
went on without her.
Some time later on two little girls
from a Catholic School came down to
play near the lake. Looking out over the
lake they saw two little red mittens
sticking up from the water. They went
up to the school and told the Sisters in
charge about the two red mittens and
she sent two boys down to the lake to
investigate.
They took a row boat out and found
the little girl floating unconscious. She
wore a rubber snowsuit with a rubber
hood tied tightly around the throat,
wrists and ankles. This caused her body
to float.
The boys took her unconscious body
ashore and she was taken to the hospital
in Montclair where after an hour in an
oxygen tent she revived. It is estimated
that she was in the water 20 minutes.
No doubt God caused the little girls to
go down to the lake and see the red mit
tens.
That happened 13 years ago. The little
girl graduated last year from Junior
High School in Illinois with a mark of
"High Scholastic Attainment."
God's angels watch over children who
are prayed for.

EVANGELICALS PROTEST ACTION
IN GREECE
In a letter to the Greek Ambassador
in Washington, Mr. George V. Melas,
the National Association of Evangelicals
today protested the sentencing of a
Greek Evangelical to two months im
prisonment for having written a letter to
a Greek newspaper condemning the in
tolerance of the Greek Orthodox Church.
Dr. Clyde W. Taylor, speaking for the
National Association of Evangelicals
said that Mr. Charamambus Agapides
had "written a letter to The Macedonia,
a newspaper in Thessalonica, in which
he had protested the intolerance of, and
persecution by the Greek Orthodox
Church and some of the political author
ities against the Evangelical Church in
Katerina, of which church Mr. Agapides
is a deacon."
Dr. Taylor said that the National As
,
sociation of Evangelicals, which repre
sents over 20,000 churches in the United
States is organizationally related to the
Evangelical Church of Greece through
their mutual membership in the World
Evangelical Fellowship.
Enlarging upon the situation which
has been caused by this incident, Dr.
Taylor said that "matters of this nature
have been very disturbing to Protestants
in the United States because they have
felt that unnecessary hindrances to the
free practice of religion in a free coun
try like Greece are not to be
"This particular case Dr. Taylor said,
"involved not only the free practice of
religion, but also the freedom of ex
pression and freedom of the
Mr. Agapides, a native Greek, ad
dressed his letter to The Macedonia
about eleven months ago. No official
reaction was made for a number of
months. He was ordered to go on trial
on January 12, 1955. The trial lasted for
only three and one-half hours, after
which time Mr. Agapides was sentenc
ed to two months imprisonment and was
given a three years suspended sentence.
