The members of the band pose as painters, roofers, driveway pavers, etc. Rural people and particularly the elderly, are prime targets for these people. Examples of home im provements that have been reported are paint that looks fide until the first rain washes most of the "Paint” off and roofs patched with burnt oil rather than tar. The Better Business Bur eau wishes to alert the people in this area not to have anything to do with itinerants of this kind. * ...... - _ \ BOOK a a fi GOD’S SMUGGLER By Brother Andrew, with John and Elizabeth Sherrill. 1967. Pp. 240. Pub. by The New American Library, N.Y. Those who think the age of miracles is past should read God’s Smuggler by Brother Andrew, with John and Elizabeth Sherrill. This book includes an account of little, everyday miracles, that we possibly might take for granted, as well as miracles of the Spirit. Brother Andrew is truly God’s smuggler, since he is a Christian missionary who has carried the Word of God to every Communist country in the world, preaching to underground worshippers, and smuggling the Bible to believers behind the Iron Curtain. But such was not always the case. Having spent his early life as a cruel and heartless soldier fighting in THEYANCEY JOURNAL APRIL i, 1976 Indonesia, he had a sudden change of heart at about the age of twenty-one. Later, (by pure happenstance it seemed at the time) Andrew was invited by the Communists to attend a youth rally in Poland. He soon discovered that although the Communists pretended to permit religious freedom, actually they ban ned the Bible, and nowhere could the Book be obtained behind the Iron Curtain. This fact was the turning point in Andrew’s life which caused him to become God’s smug gler for, real. . This book reads like something from the days of the early Christians. Wor shipping in secret hidden places, underground and in upper rooms, using sign language, stealthily meeting in two’s and three’s, outwit ting the guards, crossing the borders under cover of night, PAGE 5 being arrested-aaything avoid the Reds-ik this 3jm account of the twentieth century, or the first? Andris one reads on and on, the st&y of Brother Andrew’s life convinces us that God is ttyßy as powerful today, and as all-caring for His children, as He was in the days of our forefathers.
