PICTURE ALBUM - Bert

When we think of Bert, .a soft loving picture comes into our. minds, for.with Bert onealways includes the tiny children. Bert cameto the Home when he was two years old and heis now eleven. He was the "baby" once, but asas soon as a younger boy came into the familyBert sheltered him w.ith love. Now he is themost dependable when, our four youngest needextra care. He loves to- bathe them, takethem for walks, sooth them, when they cry andgenerally care for them.

Bert isr a^^very dependable boy and is^'often"chosen to go on errands or to do difficultjobs. He is strong in body - large and husky.In the school room Bert is not at the top ofhis class. He may never be a scholarship boybut he will be a capable worker in whateverhe attempts to do in life.

B ert became a Christian when he was nineand he loves the Lord-and the church. He isvery anxious that all goes right around theHome and the other boys seldom get by withmischief that Mommy and Daddy don't learn a-bout. Sometimes we have to remind Bert not tobe too eager to tell. He is a dear boy andone whom everyone loves when they really get.to know him.

TOP HILL

The time finally came for the trip to TopHill. The big boys had been hearing aboutthe new church for a long time and now thatthe date h^ be^^etf^r the dedicatroiToTthe land, they vjere eager to attend. Some ofthe members of the congregation at MemorialChapel took their cars and so there was afine delegation that traveled the ICQ milesto Top Hill.

It was a beautiful day and a lovely service. The Ctvistians were glad to have thefriends from .town visit them and they were also glad that Memorial Chapel had bought theland for .their new church..

After six hours of service we bid them allfarewell and prayed that God would bless themas they started their new church building.The singing in the cars going home was solively that our boys just didn't sleep a wink!Country church trips are always a treat!

JAMAICA"S DELIGHTS

It is really a delight to livein Jamaica, Of course it isvery hot here, but so manythings are interesting, Kingsto:has become quite a modern city inmany ways and yet we are delightedto see that the old customs arestill about us. It is fun to seethe market women carrying hugebaskets of food on their heads,and cows and goats still roamingthe streets dodging traffic. Oftena donkey cart slows the speed ofbig American cars and.men call out

in the streets over, their carts, j"buy coal" or "buy Fish", We hope Jamaicanever loses these lovely pictuspesque customs,

CAMP NEEDS' We are in need of teaspoons forcamp this year. You coald help by collectingeven second hand spoons,

TRY THIS FOR MISSIONARY INTEREST;. Have the boys and girls draw around their hand on a sheet ofheavy paper. Label the top "MY HELPING HAND" and the bottom, "FOR JAMAICA", Then each weekthey can paste on coins for which they have worked or sacrificed.

TEEN AGE CORNERMANDEVILLE YOUTH RALLY

Christian Youth Fellowbhip on Friday nightsis one of the highlights of the Memorial Chapel church. Anywhere from 30 to 50 young people gather for these meetings. Some of ourboys attend for they are now in their earlyteens.

The meeting is conducted by the youth and afine program is prepared and given each week.Then a visiting preacher brings a message. By9:15 the meeting .closes and the youth go tothe Fellowship Hall for games. This is alwaysa time of great fun.

In February the youth of the churches helda rally at Mandeville. It was a holiday, andour youth from..the Chapel attended. The alldays services were inspiring and a lovely banquet was held at noon. Oiir teen-agers foundthat spending their holiday in this way was agreat delight and everyone came home happy.

BROTHER GUY RETURNS

The boys were most excited when Brother Guywas due to return from his furlough. - They had *missed their friend. The days of waiting fornews of his arrival d]i?agged on and on and itseemed, especially to Lloyd, that he would never come.

One day he sighed as he came to Grandma andsaid, "Grandma, Brother Guy is like Jesus."Grandma, quite surprised, asked him just how hemeant that Guy was like Jesus, Lloyd answered^"Oh, he is coming back and he doesn*t tell uswhen!"

VISITORS TO JAMAICA

Our boys were happy to welcome Uncle Marvinand Aunt May Herget when they paid us a visitthis spring. They come from Depew, N.Y. andthis was their second visit. It was a happyweek together.

Mrs. Luther Clark and daughter Betty Jovisited from Waukegan, 111 and brought greetings from the church there. They had alsovisited Jamaica previously, and were warmlywelcomed.

Bro. and Sister Paul Smith, missionaries toCayman Islands, visited and had dinner with usin March. Three students from Lincoln Christian College visited, Audrey Lazarus our ownJamaican student there, and Bob and Jim Zech-rich.

We always enjoy having our visitors and theboys are ever anxious to hear new stories oflands far away.

SCHOOL PROGRAM

Our school program begins each morning with a Chapel service.

In this service the children sing,pray, (children offer the opening prayereach morning), and learn a new versefrom the Bible each week. After the"verse study given by Heather Matheson,Brother Guy leads in the songs, Carolthen gives the lesson in story form andcloses with a devotional song and.prayer.

Lessons are geared for young mindsand are often straight from the Word ofGod, Other times stories,with keen moral teaching are told,

Our children eagerly look up scriptures in class after Chapel for the Bibles stories are very re9\ to them. Often our parents remark on""the fine waythe children are learning from theirChapel lessons and they are pleased withthe Christian "touch" in our school.

In the study of reading, writing,and arithmetic, we are not behind someof the finest schools in Jamaica, Ourteachers are excellent and most of ourstudents have either won full or halfscholarships to High Schools,

Here is an opportunity that is wideopen to the church! Can we grasp it,,,use it and bring Christ into the homesof hundreds we might never meet anotherway? We can only answer this when wesee how God provides for our growth. It

is possible for us to begin this year!

Three other teachers are employed.Their salaries are paid by the fees of ourstudents.

At the present time Brother Guy isworking on a visitation program with ourschool .parents. He calls on appointmentand presents the V/ord through film strips,study books, and personal evangelism.These people really are responding welland are attending the services,

JAMAICA CHRISTIAN BOYS HOME

mDi

THE PRESENT

In the dining room of the Home hangs one of Sallman's beautiful picturesaboy behind the wheel of a ship and Qirist behind the boy. In the Janadca ChristianBoys* Home, little lives are fed, strengthened, loved, guided, and shaped by theMaster's Hand. Through Him we grow in all things frfiysical and spiritual.

The 20 boys in the Home range in age from one year to thirteea years and theyinclude boys of many races. Some are black, some are white, some are Indian,others Chinese, Jewish, and Dutch, but all are one, for the National Motto of Jamaica is "Out of many, one people."

The strong legs and healthy bodies that you see racing up and down our football field belongs to boys who once were hungry, sick, and neglected, either throughtragedy, extreme poverty, or brdken homes. There goes one whose mother desertedhim in the hospital the day he was bom, another whose brokenhearted father laidhis mother to rest when he was bom, ^d still another whose tender life found nolove in the second marriage of his mother. On and on they go, eadi with a doublestory, a sad one; then a ^d one ^^iien he found his second home.

CLIVE, PHILIP, DAVID, ALPHONSO

Christ Is The Head of This House

The Home is not an Orphanage but rather a Christian family. Mommy andDaddy, the two most precious words to little children, are precious to our boys,and when the gang at school boast of Mom and Dad, our boys are not onewhit behind! They may, as long as they behave themiselves, remain in the Homeas long as any child would stay in his home. Some will naturally leave earlierthan others, either through marriage, pursuit of education, or jobs. But this istheir home, now and always. Each boy is given every opportunity for a goodeducation, good home training, and good Qiristian training. These things shouldlead him into paths of good citizenship in his beloved nation.

Family life at the Jamaica Christian Boys' Home is typical. There are choresto do, beds to make, shoes to be shined, and homework each day. Sometimes welaugh good naturedly when iwise rises high from piano practicing, shouting in thehouse, babies banging noisily on toys in the Nursery, and a rousing game oftag in the dormitory. Daddy calls a halt and the noise scatters to yard, gametable, homework, or work shop. Here it's just home, a home where happinessgrows like year'round flowers.

After the Jamaican custom of naming houses, we naned ours HappyHeights." That was the house Daddy built in Constant Spring for our growingfamily. When our children niimbered six, it was imperative that we seeklarger quarters for we knew our hearts had room for many more. After a careful search, a large lovely home was located at No. 7 Oxford Road in Kingstonwith a reasonable price tag attached. Two and a half acres surrounded thecolonial type bouse, and a garage and maid's quarters were the only otherexisting buildings.

It was just what we wanted. Our small savings made up only half of the firstnecessary down paym^t and so our next four months of prayer, faith, and seriesof almost miracles begin. Three months passed and our friends and acquaintanceswho had all learned about the Home had done their best. December, the fourthmonth, dawned and the last $3,000.00 was still to be raised. The first three weeksbrought half of the amount, and then the last week's income slowed to a stop.

Our friends began to suggest all kinds of things saying, "you can't lose theHome for just that amount of money." Some suggested mortgages on the carand furniture, but that would have been so little. We waited and trusted andassured them all that our God had not forgotten. Then the morning of theclosing date came and still the money had not come. We prayed and our faith was

sorely tried, after weeks and weeks of waiting and hoping. There was only onelast hope. We went to the Post Office for the last mail, and when we openedthe box, it was jammed to tshe brim with lettere and gifts from many people wehad never even known.

We dashed to the bank, opened and counted, and when the money wastotaled, it came to the exact amount that we needed, including the house billsthat were owed at the end of the year. Our God had not failed and it was anassurance that the Home was His will for our future.

Since that time we have never again received at any short period anywherenear the amount of money that came in those four months. We have gone onthrough the years paying our mortgage month by month, building and growingas God leads, and enjoying family life as almost any family does with its financialproblems and joys, the lean and the fat.

The Jamaica Christian Boy's Home was established in 1954, after we hadworked in the Island as missionaries for almost four years. As we look backnow, we have years of precious memories of our children growing up, and we,like any family, enjoy turning the pages of the family album to see our boysas toddlers. Yes, the Home had a great beginning and we enjoy remembering.

ScUcceLU(nt, iutdThe Jamaica Christian Day School

By 1956, it was necessary to plan the educational future of our boys, for thetoddlers had reached school age. A careful study of Jamaica's educational systemwas made and then our decision was made. A Private Prep School was a "must."We began with a few students from the neighborhood, our boys, and one hiredteacher. Desks and chairs were built in our workshop, and books were donated.Within a year a second teacher was added and the school began to grow. Nowour school averages 75-80 in enrollment and we have four qualified teachers.Buildings have been erected and modernized, excellent equipment donated, anda good all-around curriculum established.

As from January 1964, our new headmistress, Mrs. Iris Jones will be assistedby our present staff; Mrs. Elizabeth Bolt, Mrs. Lillian Blackmoreand aCanadian teacher, Miss Heather Matheson, from Prince Edward island. MissMatheson, a former student of Maritime Christian College also assists with theCamp and Youth work, and lives in the Home.

Jamacia offers free scholarships for high school education to approjdmately2,000 children each year, from the ages of 10 to 12 years, and half scholarshipsto another 2,000. These awards are based on an examination usually given toaround 18,000 children. When our first four boys reached the age of the examination, they took it and won, and are now in two of Jamaica's finest high schools.This year our fifth boy won a scholai-ship.

Education presents a challenge in Jamaica. Scholarships are offered to goodstudents in every field and we have an excellent University here, the Universityof the West Indies, where youth can prepare for almost all fields. Some scholarships are offered for colleges abroad and many of our youth take advantage ofthem.

It is likely that some of our boys, if not many of them, will want to followChristian education. At the present time, there is no Bible College in Jamaicafor the Churches of Christ, and our young people of the Chapel Youth Group are

going abroad for their Christian studies. However, we are hoping that beforelong we will have a good Bible College here that will offer them not only a fullcourse for Christian Mucation, but also night classes for those who want to doChristian work in addition to their secular pursuits.

At the present time we are suffering growing pains in our Prep School. Anew school building is greatly needed. Our play yard is large, our Chapel serveswell for opening C3iapel service each morning, and there is room for the newbuilding. Plans for the future include this important step for a successful andwide-awake Christian Day School.

Sma and PraulThe Chapel

There were just of us, six dnldren, Daddy, Monuny; the cook, and theyard boy. It was-Hfe urst Sunday in our new home at No. 7 Oxford Road, smd itwas our first Sunday School and won^p service. We assembled the chairs inthe dining room, a perfect place to begin, and by the second week, neighborhoodchitdren came in ^ a few friends attended. This was the banning (tf (heMenoorial Chapel Churdi of Christ

During the second year, the duirch had grown too large fel has been called a "Mem

Hie boys, of the Home form a Boys' Choir for their Chapel, and they benefitfrwn ttie Spiritual teaching as well as from the association of good friends. TheChapel, the fuUfillment of our dreams, was planned with the hope that one dayour boys would benefit by experience in service for the Lord. As other churches^w out of fliis one, other opportunities for service will arise.

"Will the boys be preachers?" We believe some will, and we also believethat our boys whether preachers or not, will be active Christian workers, leadersin their community, and servants to their fellow-man. They have joined themarch of men in this new nation, and when they raise their country's song, "We'reout to build a new Jamaica," their determination includes Christ in all tilings.

MISSIONSThe film was over. Daddy had shown the boys a picture of world conditions

involving children. In India the story was focused on College students who weresacrificing two days' meals a week to give their food to hungry children. Thetiny hungry children with their cups upheld to the students made a deep impression on our boys. Questions were fired from every comer of the room withthe main one being, "Mommy, Dstddy, can't we give some of our food to thesehungry children?"

An attempt at explanation was futile and the insistance of the boys pleasended in ai organized plan that smted everybody. One supper each week wouldbe shared with the hungry children of China. The boys would eat a slice ofbread and drink a cup of milk, and then each would receive a coin \\^ich wouldrepresent the balance of the meal they would have been given. This coin inturn would be deposited into the bottlebank for China. The plan was eagerlyput into effect, Thursday was the day chosen, and the hearts of our little sonswere satisfied.

Weeks began to roll by and our bank grew heavy. At times we asked theboys if they would like to discontinue their sacrifice supper, and always theanswer was no. If Mommy would forget for a mcanent that it was Thursday,the boys were quick to remind her. Ctoe night Grandma Walker made a lovelyplate of cookies for the boys and upon Altering the dining room to share them,she was met with opposition. "Grandma," they said, "We can't eat cookiestoni^t, for this is Thursday and it is sacrifice night!" Grandma turned back tothe kitchen witii tears in her eyes, tears of gratitude for young hearts that werestrong and faithful and honest evra to themselves.

Almost two years have passed and already the bank has been opened threetimes and the sacrifice gifts sent to China. Thursdiay suppertime is a happy time.The b(^s chose a song, "Jesus loves the little children, all the children of theworld," and they sing it with great enthusiasm. There is a missionary story, too,and a fervant prayer for children less fortunate than ourselves.

Here is the story, not of an institution, but of a family, a real famDy of

boys who are brothers to each other, and brothers to other children around the

Smile With Kenneth

Kenneth left the Chapel running and calling Daddy who was on the porch."Daddy," he said excitedly, "Daddy, the water has aU run out of the Baptistrypool in the Chapel, and Daddy, there is dirt on the bottom of the pool." Then ina whisper, Kennetti asked, "Daddy, is that the sins of the people?"

The sound of the whistle sets in motion more than two dozenpair of wiry young legs. The ball moves wildly up and down thefield and young hearts beat hard and fast in oiw of the world'sfastest and most thrilling gamesSoccer! In Jamaica, the gameis called Football. Our Christian Day School has a team in theJunior Football league and r^ularly plays other teams in Kingston.Seven of our own boys of the Home are on the team. There isan age limit - boys must be between the ages of 8 and 11. Ourhigh sdiool boys are past this age and so are anxiously waitingto reach the age of their school teams.

Mr. Raymon Alberga has been arranging ttie games for theseteams, and Mr. Paul Davidson, our team's coach has geared theboys to a good standard.

The value of body building exercise though excellent, cannotbegin to compare with the value of the lessons learned in "fairplay." Playing and tusseling with the boys of the community isexcellent for that training period of getting along in the world.Our boys notice differences and they compare notes over boys whoare honest and boys who will cheat, or boys who speak cleanlyand boys who will use bad language.

The game is on! Our boys are fighting in the tWck of it, notonly to win the match for the day, but to win the race of life withthe eternal prize always before them.

It was a decision made when the Home l)egan, that was announced at the dinner table one sunny day in 1958. Mommy toldthe older boys that they would be taking music lessons. Itsounded ecciting and they were eager to begin. Now after morethan five years, there are eleven boys taking piano lessons.

The older boys have reached Grade four and some are doing exceptionally well. Others plod along learning not only to playthe piano but learning fundamentals in music that will serve themin later life. Mrs. Ethlita Irons is their teacher. They all sing wellfor they have been trained in this from the toddler age. Our firstChoir was formed in 1956 at Christmas time.

Here is a real avenue for Christian service - an answer forthe prayer, "Here am I, use me."

Tuesday evenings are exciting at the Jamacia Christian Boys'Home. Mrs. Jean Fisher's arrival is lauded with cheers, for theboys know their favorite class is forthcoming. Mrs. Fisher voluntarily teaches art in the library and has gathered an excellentsupply of materials for all types of training. There is charcoalsketching, painting, lettering, designing, and portrait work. Victordisplays excellent talent while several others show great promise.

Talent is oicouraged and a sense of pride in their work isgrowing, that will help them in othw ways as well.

Opportunities are at every hand - opportunities that are oftenmade possible by our friends in the community. Mrs. Nan Sturdycomes regularly to hold reading classes for boys who are slowreaders. Mrs. Phyllis Andrade serves weekly with the Saturdaymorning Children's Hour, and others help in various ways, enlarging our "Home Family" in a wonderful way.

Christian Childrens' Clinic

Commanding Officer, Capt. A. J. Schultz, of the U. S. Naval Air Station,Grosse He, Michigan, stood smiling before our eighteen boys as he handed usa long yellow paper, "nie paper listed dozens of items donated to the Home byWorld Medical Relief and flown to Jamaica by a crew of pilots who labor voluntarily under the title of "Operation Friendship." When the shipment arrived itwas found to include multiple thousands of vitamins, medicines, and dressings.Here were "talents" placed in possession of the Home and there was to be anew work Ijom that day.

It was obvious that eighteen boys could not use the entire gift of drugs, soplans began for a Medical Clinic for needy children. Minister Solomon Levy ofthe Mt. View Church of Christ opened a room of the church to the Clinic, andMrs. Patricia Alberga, registered Nurse and member of Memorial Chapel congregation, offered her services as Nurse-in-Charge. Equipment was gathered andthe Clinic opened October 1st. 1962.

The numbers of patients increased rapidly and by the second month a newfour-room cottage was completed on the church property and rented to the clinicat a low rental fee. Yet, even this $28.00 per month seemed unsurmountable. Godhad planned for this too! The Export Manufacturers Association in Kingstonpledged to pay the rent for the Clinic and also voted additional small amountstoward drugs. Others helped with furniture and equipment and in two weeksa nicely equipped, clean Clinic was in operation.

MRS. PATSY ALBERGA, R. N.

MRS. CAROL HERGET

Medical and Spiritual treatments are given in this Clinic of mercy. Over1300 children are now enrolled - children who have come for dressings of wounds,feivers, childrens' diseases, and various infections of major and minor tyi)e. Mostcases are successfully treated in the Clinic while others are referred to Doctorswho donate then* services, often to the saving of precious little lives.

But the Spiritual treatment is not neglected. Each Iwttle of medicine givenhas a label with a Scripture verse printed on it, tracts are distributed, andconstant Spiritual guidance is given to parents and children alike. Many of thechildren who visit the Christian Childrens' Clinic are needy children whose parentsfind it difficult to give them sufficient care. They love their children and attendthe Clinic with them. Yes, as in any modern city with its social problems, otherswander in, desperately in need of help with no one to really care. Many times wefiind it necessary to apply love as well as medicine. These truly are the "Master'sLambs."

The skies were blue and douds were white, the day wedreamed of the Jamaica Qiristian Boys' Home. We wereyoung when we dreamed and needy boys were the center ofevery mental picture that appeared on that lovely horizon.God gave us the Home. And later we dreamed of a Camp,and God gave a Camp.

It was 1958 and' our boys had reached an age wheresummer camps b^an to appeal. After a number of inquiries and events, the Alumina Jamaica Co. Ltd. now knownas "Alcan" gave us for an unlimited time, the use of abeautiful property in St. Ann, some 52 miles from Kingstonand known as "Grier Park." There was a large old plantation house and an additional building that could be usedfor recreation and classes.

Dr. Bryn Davies, Managing Director at the time,

early days equipment was leirf; us byFemcourt Sdwol, and beds were lent byMr. Joe Ziadie of Ziadles Furniture Estb.Advertisement in Kingston Private Schoolsbrou^t in applications for our first enrollment of 61 campers, ^id we were offto a good start

Camps include a ten day can^ forboys, ten days for girls, and our ownfamily camp for two weeks. It was a greatsummer and we Io(^ back now mostgratefully n-moters.

GRIER PARK GREAT HOUSE

Six summers have come and gone at Grier Park, and these summers havewitnessed the happiness of many scores of children. New friends and old havecontinued to make the Camps possible and successful, and Alcan has increasedtheir help even to the construction of a lovely new Hall for recreation. Campshave been increased from three to five and now include an Adult Camp and aMinisters' and Christian Workers' Camp.

Grier Park Christian Camp is self supported and now owns all of its equipment. Its young campers have been inspired toward living the Christian life,and many are now active members of the Memorial Chapel. Two of our earliestcampers have dedicated their lives to full time Christian service and are now inQiristian College in the U. S.

Teachers and Vesper preachers from the U. S. A. includeN. C., Leon Baker, Ft. Pierce, Fla., Bob Puckett, CollegeMullins, Calgary, Al. Canada, Barry Willbanks, Joplin, Mo.,women from Bible Colleges who have been out on summerWhitley first came to Jamaica to assist with Camp in 1958,and remained in Jamaica to work with the Home. He hascontribution not only to the Camp, but to every part of theand the church.

Guy Whitley, Bath,Park, Ga., Carltonand several youngholiday work. Guyenjoyed the work,

made a really finework of the Home

Nestled in the lovely hills of St. Ann, Grier Park has much to offer campers.It is surrounded by 16,000 acres of uninhabited land in a Malaria-free parish withexcellent climate. Its grounds have ample play space for every type of gameor ;^rt.

God has blessed Grier Park and its youth, and because of it many boys andgirls are better Christians, better friends, and better citizens.

The original house at 7 Oxford Road had ample space for a dozen small boys.But when the family increased both in number and size, it became apparent thata new building must be added. How was this to be when our income was onlybarely caring for our large family? This question drove us to our knees, and inJune of 1960 God s^t the answer.

Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Foster v^1lo had become acquainted with the Home ona tour of Jiimaica, had been showing their interest in a tremendous way up untilthis time. Now in June they were prepared to do more. A letter came saying thatthey would be willing to sponsor a trip for Daddy and Mommy in the States totell of the Home and rai^ funds for the new dormitory.

Consequently, eleven weeks were spent in the States with all expenses paid.Funds given by the more than 75 churches we had visited, were put entirely intothe dormitory bank account, and we returned with haK>y prospects for the newbuilding. It was a most wonderful trip in w^ich we met old friends and new -our first visit to the States on furlough in nine years. Mommy and Daddy weregrateful to Uncle A1 and Aunt Ned Foster for all they did to make the dormitorypossible.

Tlie new dormitory, costing $23,000.00, and named "Foster Hall" was opCTedin December 1961 by the American Consul General, Robert McGregor. TWs 17-room building has been a beautiful and comfortable addition and we thank Godfor it. A mortgage remains of $6,000.00 which we are praying will soon be reduced.

RECREATION BUILDING

Under construction in 1963, is our new Recreation building designed for manypurposes. Its seating capacity of 300 provided a comfortable and aary place forgeneral functions of the Home, School, and Chapel. We have a "pay-as-you-go"plan for the Hall and are praying that it will soon be completed. The U. S. PeaceCorps has volunteered all of the electrical work and much of the materials weregiven by Abdulla Marzoucca and Jamaica firms.

This building is a "must" for our growing work - youth gatherings, recreaticmfor our boys and their friends, plays, and rainy-time activities.

m PERS^^NNEL

Many of our friends ask, "Who doesthe work for so many boys?" It is withtruly grateful hearts that we answer thisquestion, for the work has been done bythe willing hands and hearts of faithfulfriends through the years. We will try andintroduce some of these people to younow, beginning with Daddy and MommyHerget.

Jim and Carol Herget, of Buffalo, N.Y., graduated from Atlanta Christian College, Atlanta, Ga. in 1948 and dedicatedtheir lives to full time Christian service inJamaica. ^\fter serving one year, 1949, inJamaica, they returned to the States andcontinued Christian service there, gainingmuch practical exi>erience. After returning to Jamaica in 1952, they began tocarry out their plan for their long hoped-for dream, a Home for destitute children.In 1953, the first of the boys who would livein the Home, Peter, entered their lives;and by 1954 plans had materialized enoughto apply for a Government license for theHome.

Growth was slow but steady in the earlyMonths. The Home property at No. 7 Oxford Road was vested in a Limited LiabilityCo. and registered as a non-profit organization. Jim and Carol Herget were namedJoint Managing Directors, and two ministers of the Oiurches of Christ in Jamaicaserve as Directors. A Management committee of Jamaica professional and business men assist with the Home's management.

James and Carol Herget

Guy B. Whitley

iST'

Ada L. Walker

Guy Whitley, our co-worker, graduated from Roanoke Bible College, N. C. andcame to Jamaica to assist us with ourfirst summer camp. After only three weeks nin Jamaica he realized that he had founda place of service for the Lord in which hecould be useful and happy. Guy soon be-came known as "Brother Guy," a friendly ^title that has stuck down through the 4 ^ flRyears, and denotes his relationship not only ^ ^ mU' ito the boys but to the friends of the Home ..| and to the congregation at Memorial Chap- ^ ^ ^ iel wiiich he assisted for almost five years.Brother Guy has spent 1963 on furlough in ^ |: ' : Athe States, but still remiains our faithful 'co-worker for the future of the work of |the Jamaica Christian Boys' Home. ^ \ '

In December 1959, Mrs. Ada Walker, ^ \ /"Carol's mother, came to visit the Home. iHer visit was prolonged through the follow-ing months until die became a vital part Heather Mdthesonof the work. "Grandma" as the boys learned to affectionately call her, found an outlet for her untiring energies for Christianservice in teaching the Adult Ladies Classin the Chapel Sunday School, managingthe house-keeping, assisting in the office,and helping with the boys. Her place hasnever been a "member of the staff" butrather a vital part of our big h^)py faii-ily.

Miss Heather Matheson of Prince Edward Island, Canada, joined our familyin May of 1963. She attended Maritime Christian C^Uege and Teacher TrainingCollege, preparing for Christian School teaching as her full time life service. MissMatheson not only teaches in our Christian Day School, but supervises homeworkfor the boys of the Home, including those who are already In High Schools. Inaddition to this she conducts the "Childrens' Church" on Sunday mornii^, theJunior Christian Endeavor, teaches the Saturday morning Childrens' Hour, andis "big sister" in a wonderful way to our boys.

(Ja^^G-Zca. - -Sep^-Dear Friends,

As our family settles down again after a busy happy summer,we remember again that this is our tenth year with the Home. Wehave felt led to ask God for a very special blessing - the complete payment of the mortgage on the Home I

It was September V7hen we first asked God for the sameamount that is now due for both house and dormitory. Theowner of the house had told us we must pay $11,000.00 byDec. 31st. It v;as a big step of faith. We prayed and thensigned the contract and moved our first six children into

Home. God ansv/ered prayer and the money came'.

O /954- /9i,^ -px

n/'i/erisar^

' jsjoNow, after these nine years, we owe this bal

ance of $11,000.00. It is September again and wefeel a strong desire to pay this debt. Our newschool building, our plans for evangelism, our dreams

of the nev; Camp site promised by Alcan for next year, andthe constantly growing expense with boys reaching teen-ageare all hampered by this nagging debt. Our interest payments are holding back our effectiveness.

Yes, we have made wonderful progress and we thank God for that,and now we ask Him for even greater things. We can*t keep our boys from''growing up, and right ahead are yearrs of preparation for evangelism. All^of our projects are pointing to that. A debt free future for the Home

would mean an open road of progress as our boys prepare to serve.

Pray with us...for us...and believe that all things are possible. We willthe Lord willing, continue to print this little picture of the barometer prayingthat by next month it will reach its first notch!

May God bless you as you consider what He may lay upon your heart to do to help.

Yours faithfully serving,

Jim and Carol, Guy, Heather and Mom

Our second furlough in the past'thirteenyears of service in Jamaica was a hurried onebut truly lovely in many ways. America is sostrikingly different as one arrives from aforeign country that it is almost breath-taking. Thc2 clean bu?!.lding3 and streets, the-absence of bicycles and donkey carts, the madrush of traffic..all make one know that hereis our homeland again.

After making our ;;ay i:p through Floridaand visiting churches all along the way, wewent on to Atlanta. There we visited one ofoar living-link churches.

A good visit at Canton, Ohio came nextand then a long trip south, stopping to visitC.B.S. and I'fc. Carmel church in Atlanta. Wespent the last week visiting Florida .churchesand completed our trip in a total of fourweeks.

It was a glad reunion at the airport whenour fcjnily of boys greeted us with hugs.andkisses. As we mentioned in our July letters.Baby Robert looked up sadly and said, "Whyypu wouldn't come back Mommy?"

PICTURE ALBUM - ALPHONSO

Alphonso, known within the family as Phonsowas an unfortunate little boy because he wasunwanted. He lived in a fairly nice littlecountry house but the sad truth was that noone really wanted him. We were happy when v/cjfound him for wanted him with all of ourhearts. He knev; it- too, and it made him happyfrom the very first day we took him.

Alphonso is a good worker. He does well inschool and should win a scholarship when hetakes the exam next spring. One of the nicestthings ^out Alphonso is his willingness to behelpful. No matter what any adult in the house may ask of the boys he is always the firstto eagerly call out, "I'll do it." And he isvery careful to carry out his mission. Wefind him a most dependable boy who wears a

"constant smile.Alphonso loves the tiny boys and often

looks after them as an afternoon job when theyawake from naps. His willing spirit will takehim far in the world. We hope he will becomea Christian as he grows to understand the way.He was eleven years old on July 12th.

THE BIG TENT

Mommy put down the telephone and then reanto tell the boys the good news. United FruitCo. had said they would lend a big tent to theCamp to use in place of the lovely hall thathad burned down in April. It was a very exciting time for the boys had never had a tentbefore at Camp.

Campers from many homos in Kingston werepacking suitcases the night before Camp began,and far up in the mountains the last stakes ofthe tent were being driven into the ground. Itis always a treat worth working for to be chosen to go to Camp to help work for the last twodays before it opens. This time there was avery special reason for being good.

The boys stood back to admire their work ofclearing stones and grass from under the tentand agreed that it was the finest tent they hadever been under. All during August childrensheltered from the sun, studied and sang,playedgames and prayed beneath its sturdy top. Onfun night the Flaming Birds put on a Circus.Eddie did a tight rope act and Peter tamed alion, Tony was the tallest lady in the world,while others rode elephants and played in theband.

Quiet moments under the tent included interesting Bible Classes and Vespers on rainynights. It was a sad day when Camp was over.With the tying of the last cord around the tentfive year old Donovan sat down and cried.

HALF SCHOLARSHIP FOR KENNETH

School was never very exciting to the heartof our little Kenneth. He was too interestedin watching lizzards play on the school windowsill to listen very closely to the teacher.V/hen scholarship exam time rolled around forhim, he realized that it was too late to settledown, and study hard. So, Kenneth came out withonly a half scholarship. He is a bright boyand so we hope that "he will do better work inhigh school. A half scholarship is still afine achievement and so we are proud of Kennethfor gaining this recognition from our Gov't.This issue of the Jamaica Evangel comes to youby the courtesy of:
