While Malcolm and Jim were there, four others were baptized. The first Breaking of Bread was on Sunday, April 24. Five people observed. Six others were baptized on May 5.

Homecalls
Bernie Zwiers of Fergus Falls, MN on Feb. 9, age 97. Our dear brother was saved in 1927 through the truth of John 3:36 in tent meetings held by Leonard Sheldrake and Fred Mehl at Friesland, MN, near Hinckley. He married Mary Luhm in 1941 and they moved to Fergus Falls in 1947. Mary preceded him in death in 1991. Bernie was fearless in presenting the gospel to all he met in his kindly way. He saw a number saved and was a good example to all. He was influential in the planting of the Fergus Falls assembly. The funeral service was held in the Broen Memorial Home in Fergus Falls, and was taken by a local brother who was saved through his testimony.
Margaret Battel of Cass City, MI, on May 3, age 83. Our beloved sister was saved 71 years ago during gospel meetings in Bay City, MI, by the late Sam Barr. In 1954, she and Lester Battel, who predeceased her in 1989, were married. They were faithful to the assembly in Cass City, their home always open to the Lord’s servants, showing true hospitality. Lester was correspondent of the assembly for many years. They bore a good testimony before all in the area. She leaves her daughter, Linda and her husband, a son Paul and his wife, four grandsons, one granddaughter, and her twin sister, Mrs. Mabel Kay, of Marshall, MI, to feel her loss. The well-attended funeral was taken by William Lavery and William Metcalf.
Mr. Abraham Patterson of N. Ireland, on May 4, age 83. He was saved in 1939 as a young man of 17 years. Our brother spent his adult life in Dungannon where, as a business man, he maintained a very cheerful and consistent testimony. He loved the assembly where his counsel, care, and contributions will be greatly missed. He and his late wife were given to hospitality; even after her home call in 1990, the open-door remained. A great supporter of the gospel, he encouraged its preaching, and was himself a writer of gospel tracts and poetry. The large company of believers, towns people, and business contacts at his funeral was a testimony in itself. S. Ferguson spoke in the Gospel Hall and D. Gilliland at the grave, assisted in prayer and tribute by other brethren.
Mrs. Betty Robar of Nineveh, NS, on May 12, age 65 . Our dear sister was saved as a young girl, and was in the Nineveh assembly until the time of her illness and confinement to a nursing home. She was a faithful sister, and manifested love to the Lord and the assembly. She is survived by her husband, Alvin, one stepson, one son and daughter, and two grandchildren, some not yet saved. A good number attended the funeral service where Albert Hull presented the gospel.
Evelyn N. Casson of Vancouver, BC on May 14, age 81. She was saved at 25 years of age and came into fellowship in Hastings East, and later was in the Deep Cove assembly. She was a quiet and consistent sister who had the joy of seeing all her children and grandchildren saved. She is survived by her loving husband, David, three children, and their families. The funeral was taken by David Bagnall and Reddie Blair. Wesley Barr spoke at the graveside.
Mrs. Sarah Brown of Edenderry, N.I. on May 18, age 96. She was saved in 1937 at meetings conducted by Mr. Thomas Wallace, and had a good testimony in the village. Her commitment to the assembly was evidenced in her continuous attendance at the assembly meetings until going to reside in Faith House in 1997. The large funeral service indicated the high esteem in which she was held. She will be greatly missed by her family in Northern Ireland and Canada.

A Reminder from Two Gospel Trusts
Fellowship to Commended Workers
Truth and Tidings Gospel Trust USA and Gospel Trust Canada are available to assist believers from their respective countries in the distribution of personal or assembly funds to commended workers. Most missionaries have authorized the Trusts to make direct deposits to personal North American bank accounts. This is a secure and accelerated way of transmitting funds both at home and abroad and it will provide donors with a receipt from a non-profit charitable corporation that can be used for income tax deduction, as the laws allow.
Wills and the Gospel Trusts
Either trust can be named as a beneficiary in your will and all money received by the Trust from your estate will be distributed promptly according to: (1) instructions in the will, (2) instructions from the executor of the estate or (3) following a donor’s previous exercise in using the Trusts. A local lawyer will be able to assist you in drawing up your will exactly as you wish. The addresses for the Canadian and U.S. Trusts are shown in every magazine at the bottom of the inside back cover. As in previous years, both trusts maintain complete confidentiality and operate independent of the other and of this magazine.
