noon, he died.His mother carried him upstairs toElisha's room and laid him on the bed.She then had the servant bring her anass. She saddled it. She drove as fastas she could go to Elisha.When she reached Elisha's houseshe threw herself on the ground infront of him and burst into tears. Shetold Elisha about her son, and thathe was dead.Elisha told Gehazi to run ahead ofhim and the woman. He said to Gehazi,"Lay my staff on the face of the child."Gehazi did what Elisha told him, butthe child did not awake.When Elisha reached the house,he went up into his own little room,where the child lay upon the bed.Elisha lay down upon the bed over thechild. He put his mouth on the littleboy's mouth, his eyes over the boy'seyes, and his hands upon the child'shands. The dead body of the littleboy became warm. Elisha got up andwalked around and did the same thingthe second time. The boy sneezedseven times and opened his eyes.Elisha called his servant and told himto bring the mother.How happy the mother was. Shei had her rosy^cheeked little boy aliveagain. Elisha was gentle and kindagain.Boys and girls, you have kind andgentle people around you all the time.Think of the thoughtfulness and kindnessof your Junior leaders. They comeout every Sabbath evening to be withyou and to help you with your topics.Think of all the other people who arekind and gentle. We all need to thinkabout the people around us. Are wejkind and gentle to others? How about,our WORDS, THOUGHTS, and ACTIONS? Are they CHRIST-LIKE?Prayer MeetingTopicfor February 10, 1971PRAYER FOR YOUR OWNCONGREGATIONby Elder Lloyd J. CopelandDenison, KansasScripture: I Corinthians 12:12-31The basic needs for prayer of anycongregation are essentially the same.Some may have an outreach in the.'ommunity that others do not, and.JANUARY 13, 1971their prayer needs will be greater.Consider these basic needs:I The PastorHe needs our prayers more thananyone else. He has a real job to preparetwo sermons each week, to visitsick and shut-in members and otherpersons in the community, to serve onboards and committees to which hehas been appointed. All of this is inaddition to his being a husband andfather. The apostle Paul asks forprayer in Ephesians 6:19, 20 and Colossians4:3, 4 that he may speak boldlyand truly the mystery of the gospel.II. The SessionThese men have been elected andordained to the spiritual oversight ofthe congregation. They are commonmen and need a lot of prayer that theymay live according to the standardset in I Timothy 3. Pray that theymight be living witnesses in the congregationand community for Christ.III. The Deacon BoardThese are the men to whom wehave entrusted the business and financialneeds of the congregation. Praythat they may be given wisdom to useGod's money, entrusted to their care,wisely. Pray that they may live uipto the qualifications set for them inI Timothy 3.IV. The Sabbath School and FellowshipGroupsPray for the superintendent andteachers, those who choose the curriculumand follow through withteaching God's Word. They have atremendous responsibility. They caneither tell stories or teach Jesus Christas He is revealed in God's Word. Afriend once told me that the purposeof the Sabbath School is to teachBible truth including the way of salvationand the fellowship groups are toput these into practice.Pray for youth groups and theirsponsors that they may meet thechallenge.The W.M.S. needs prayer. Maybethere are some members who are waywardor rebellious. Pray for them.V. Committees and PrecentorLet us not forget the ChristianEducation Committee, the EvangelismCommittee, and others.Pray for the precentor. A formerpastor told me that the precentor hasas important a job as a person wholeads in prayer.UNDERGROUND EVANGELISMSCHEDULES PREMIERE SHOWINGOF NEW FILMLos Angeles — "To Russia WithLove," a film produced by UndergroundEvangelism to point up itswork of Bible distribution in IronCurtain countries, is slated for premiereshowing across the nation thisfall. A moving documentary dealingwith a large body of evangelicalsdriven underground for their uncompromisingstand in matters of Christianconscience, the film graphicallyportrays their plight.Fear, pathos, and joy are inextricablywoven into both picture andnarrative as one family's escape tothe West is reenacted. Pastor StephanBankov who pastored 56 churchesclosed by Bulgaria's hard line communistgovernment, and who narratesthe story, knows what it means to betortured for one's faith.The shots are authentic and weresecretly filmed for Underground Evangelismby a professional camera manostensibly on a tour of Russia andcarrying amateur equipment.The story of the Bankov family'sflight from danger of course had tobe staged. But it is beautifully andfactually done by the Bankovs themselves.The film depicts a Bible courier'sdramatic crossing into communistterritory (filmed from a distance bylong-range telescopic lens) his journeyinto Russia subsequent Bible"drops" at secret places. It reveals thejoy with which members of one undergroundcongregation received theirBible gifts. .. the emotion-packedmoment when each held in his handa copy of the Word of God for perhapsthe very first time.And just in case some viewer betempted to think that the wholepicture, "To Russia With Love," wasfaked because one of the scenes showsa bus with the familiar "Greyhound"insignia on its side, it is necessary tounderscore the fact that the bus inthe film is authentic. Yes theRussians are using the familiar Americantransport sign on their own commercialvehicles!Cast me not off in the time of oldage; forsake me not when my strengthfaileth. Psalm 71:913
