HELP WANTED

In these days of mounting unemployment, the "Help Wanted"

sign is a welcome one. There is one field however, in which
the supply of qualified laborers has never caught up with the
demand. That field is the field of missions, and I know of
no part of that field from which the call is not heard,
"Come over and help us".
When the Nichols family returned to the Homeland in July
of 1957,we had the pleasure of fellowship with the Anderson
family on the five day trip on the good ship "leilani". We
are aware of some of the sacrifices which this good family
made in returning to Hawaii when no one could be found to
take over the work in Makaha. We read with interest Claire
Powell's statement in a recent issue of HORIZONS, and we know
that this family has made sacrifices far beyond the call of
duty;, sacrifices, it seems to us, whieh-i-fe-eeemste-ue which
no missionary should ever have to make. We do pray that the
need for a missionary family in the Kailua community may soon
be filled.
About two monts ago the Stills wrote us that the young man y
who has been teaching in the Sunset Beach School and preaching
at Hauula would be leaving in June. This means that Hauula
would again be withoilit leadership, throwing an extra work load
on the good folks at Sunset Beach until a worker can be found
for this place. It was suggested that we reconsider our decision
not to return to Hauula,and again we were faced with a difficult
decision. To us, Hauula is not just another community which
needs the Gospel. It is Sheila, and Linda, and Douglas and Hannah
and the unhappy homes from which they come. It is Mrs. Mason,
and Mrs. Schilling and Racheal, who have found the Lord and
now find great jjjy in serving him. Time was when we could have
given up Hauula as a poor investment - but not any more. If
Hauularhad produced only Eleanor and Mildred Otake, it would
have been well worth all the cost. We have considered the
matter long and prayerfully, but our decision not to return to
to Hawaii at this time still stands. If and when we do return
to tne Islands it will be to teach in a Bible College. We feel
that we should make our decision known, along with an appeal
for aorkers to take over the "unfinished task" in Hauula. We
would be glad to correspond with anyone interested. The Nichols
are accepting speaking engagements and Youth Camp appointments
for the summer. Adfleess is ; Edgar Nichols, 117 South Walnut St.,
Lincoln, Illinois.
