Adventists To
Take Offering
For Servicemen
"Although Seventh-day Advent-
ists are known as noncombatants,
approximately 1,000 of their young
men are in the military service
at the present time — most of
them as medical aid men," says
Mr. A. B. Huenergardt, pastor of
Rusk Seventh-day Adventists, in
announcing a special offering for
literature for service men. T h e
church feels, he stated, it has a
very personal responsibility in
these young men who are serving
their country, to give them spiri-
tual guidance and support.
During the month of May this
special offering is taken, and pro-
vides the small monthly "Loyalty
Newsletter" which brings some-
what of an exchange of letters
from other boys in the service, as
well as inspirational matter.
A portion of the offering will
aid in supplying each new serv-
iceman of the church with a kit
of select reading matter suitable
for Sabbath reading.
Announcing his sermon subject
for Saturday, May 15, Mr. Huener-
gardt stated it will be based on
