This service has been rendered in the spirit of Psalm 115:1 "Not unto us, OLord, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give glory,for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's The Latakia Mission has considered it only fair to build up aGirls'School Reserve Fund from a portion of the saving in salary expense. This is tantamount to a monetary contribution from the Fattals, and it has beenthe purpose of the missionaries that the ReserveFund be used in ways that Helen and Florence approve for the benefit of the school and thus for thefurtherance of Christ's cause in Latakia. It is now offered as travel expense for a short-term teacher tothe American High School of Latakia, if some youngCovenanter man or woman hears Christ's call andgoes out in obedience to Him this fall. The short-termteacher's salary would be paid from the school budget, not by personal contribution, as incorrectly indicated in the WITNESS.The Fattal girls would much rather no publicitywould be given to that which has been done not forthe praise of men, but in love for and obedience toChrist, that His Name may be glorified. However,may this not be used of the Spirit to encourage theyoung person of Christ's choice to offer his/her talents in like unselfish devotion to the Lord in theneedy field of Latakia?"The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborersare few ; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into Hisharvest."Matthew 9 :37, 38Redd's own famous guitar accompaniment adds muchto the listening enjoyment and his new Singtimereleases.Two of the new releases, MY CACTUS CHRISTMAS TREE by Redd Harper and Les Barnett, andHAPPY BIRTHDAY, GENTLE SAVIOUR by DaleEvans Rogers, are brand new Christmas songs presented to the general public for the first time.
