"If the Lord has • job for you to do, he will let you live to do it" AJU though he is 88 years of he is still extremely activ* Each Sunday he teaches a Sunday School class in Spaa* ish in Dallas, Texas where he is currently living.

He said he was thank ful that we were members of such a dediciated organiza tion. We enjoyed fellowship with him while light refreshments were served.
