PRINTED IN THE GLEANER

Dear Editor:

For more than forty years I have held Neil C. Wilson and his wife, Elinor, to be precious and most important in the direction of my own life experience.  Isolated, my testimony is hardly worth presenting.

However, in those days in their home, what a cosmopolitan group we were!  Lester Kenline was from the Pacific Northwest, Bob Tretheway from New Zealand, and Brother Jonkers called South Africa home.  Charles Ward and Jim Adams were from “Down Under”, and Brother Phillips was from “Old Blighty”.

As members of Allied Armed Forces, we were only a portion of the whole; so many were going and coming to and from God’s fields and vineyards.

There must be scores who would be foremost with the “word fitly spoken.”  Brother and Sister Wilson will be first to acknowledge their needs to request our prayers for them.  They will be most appreciative of our gratitude for their ministry.

Subsequently

In March 1987, this article was submitted to the Gleaner in response to a written request from its editor.  He promised to have it printed.  To date, 8-27-93, it has never appeared.  We now have a different editor.  It seems doubtful he will ever oblige.
