The improvement of one’s Eng

By Troy R. Warren
Edward (Ted) McGinn and his wife, Patricia, came
to Toronto, Canada, from London, England, 10 years
ago. In 1960 they were contacted by house-to-house work-
ers of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. An inactive Catholic, Ted
was interested in their explanations of Catholic error.
After studying with them for a time, he joined their
movement. <>
As McGinn studied his Bible more and more, he
discovered inconsistant interpretations of the scriptures
At first he ignored his thoughts, but after a time it be-
came impossible. Finally he began to ask questions
which his friends could not answer.
Attendance Declined
Gradually, in the beginning of 1965, his attendance
with the Jehovah’s Witnesses began to decline.
In June, he began to study the Bible with his family
at home on Sundays. They would pray that the Lord
would lead them to the truth. On their second Sunday,
they turned on their television set just in time to see a
“Herald of Truth” broadcast.
They were struck by the words of the speaker, who
declared, “We wish to speak where the Bible speaks,
and be silent where the Bible is silent.” Ted can still re-
member the exact wording of the sentence. He thought.
“If all Christians would do that, they would be united,
wouldn’t they?”
They searched in their telephone directory for ad-
dresses of local churches of Christ. Finally, finding the
F’ern Avenue congregation to be nearest them, they visit-
ed there the following Sunday morning.
Meaning Wat Clear
They made it clear what they were searching for in
the very beginning. A cottage meeting was begun on Fri-
day, and they were baptized Saturday night, two weeks
later.
Their two oldest children. Brenda and Calvin, were
baptized during the next month. Calvin, 11, is already
making plans to attend Great Lakes Christian College
and then Abilene Christian College. He wants to preach
the gospel. They have three other children, Maureen and
Marian (twin girls) and David.
The McGinns are a dedicated family; they have al-
ready turned in a list of people to be contacted and
taught the gospel.

YORK, Neb. — The East Hill
Church of Christ, only nine
years old, with no members in
York in 1956 when York College
reopened, closed a Vacation Bi-
ble School Aug. 6 with 551 ag-
gregate and 114 individual stu-
dents enrolled.
According to Roger Hawlev.
minister, about 70 per cent was
from denominational homes.
The VBS daily enrollment
grew from 87 to 124, including
22 staff workers, during a time
when the congregational mem-
bership was at a period of low-
est residence.
Two elders were in foreign
countries — Colis Campbell in
Japan and Korea, and Edward
White in Hawaii.
Various members were on
vacation, and among this num-
ber Louise Hester and her two
daughters, Linda and Ruth, as
wMl as Wanda Mijler, daughter
of another elder, Mabrey Mill
er, and Charles White, son of
Edward White, were engaged in
a Campaign for Christ in Swit-
zerland and France.
The East Hill congregation
has about 100 permanent mem-
bers. and will reach more than
400 in September when the col-
lege students return.
