In El Salvador 1975 closed with an upswing giving us a push for this New Year

Now that the New Year is well underway I have a brief moment to recollect and get myself back in order. Last year closed with a decided upswing giving us the needed push for this New Year. It was really hard to tell Christmas from any other summer day with temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s.

Though the streets were laden with tinsel and baubles and every household so covered with Christmas lights that it gave the appearance of Sunset Strip rather than yuletide joy, we seemed to miss the usual feeling of cheer and brotherly love. We kept on working through both holidays though we took a breather to see “The Ten Commandments” on Jan. 2.

Our lectures on both of those days certainly gave a greater sense of meaning to our listeners than the frolic and nonsense going on outside.
