Mennonites give reactions ms TO Bo mum Gospel is good news By DOROTHY KILBLRN Joyce Landorfs book The Fragrance of Beauty has been chosen as study book for our Womens Missionary Society It is ter rific book and was thrilled to be asked to In this day and age it is good to concentrate on the beautiful and not allow our minds to be bogged down with the ugliness of our mod At tHe first session of the book study several give an account of beautiful which they had seen in the life of another woman One young woman paid tribute to her motherinlaw commen ding her for the fact that she never interfered and was most helpful in several ways Another told of beautiful habit in the life of farm woman who stopped to pray when her husband took their animals to market asking that he would not ask top dollar for them problems arose on the farm she walked into nearby bush to pray about them God prospered them and blessed them Taking close look Guinea tribesman in the countys highland region over the weekend The church tribesman is face The apostle Paul said Whatsoever things are true honest just pure lovely think on these things The human mind is not geared to concen trate on the beautiful it is geared to But by an act of will we can establish ought habits that concentrate on the beautiful And what can be more beautiful than the gospel the good news the love story bet ween God and man God commended His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners hrist died for Romansfifi Many things about us were offensive to hrist but He loved us in spite of them And that is the way in which He continues to love us today realization of this truth opens for us beautiful peace of heart which enables us to enjoy the beautiful things of this life Another told of beautiful expression which came over missionarys face when she expounded scripture This missionary despite the fact that some of her children were born mute served God with glowing warden at newly built Anglican church nearby AP Photo on recent visit to Vietnam EDITORS NOTE Earlier this winter small delegation of North American Mennonites visited Vietnam In this story Harold lantz of Winnipeg editor of the Men nonite Brethren Herald and member of the delegation tells of what they saw and heard in Vietnam Written for CP By HAROLD IANTZ On the plane taking an Amer ican and Canadian Mennonite delegation of three into Viet nam in early January there also was delegation of the Asia Development Bank The bankers were returning to Viet nam for the first time since the war their coming signifying that the present government of Vietnam had agreed to pick up the obligations left by the for mer regime tiny but curious scenario developed when the two delega tions came off the plane in Hanoi The North American Mennonites were met at the air port by members of the Viet namese American Solidarity Committee and greeted with bouquets There were no flow ers for theAsians The distinction may mean lit tle but two weeks of travel and encounters by the Mennonites in Vietnam gave them the im pression of country de termined to define socialism on its own terms and eager for relationships with Western countries The Mennonite delegation consisted of two former Men nonite mission and relief work OBITUARY RAYMOND BUBEI Raymond Bubel of Huntsville father of Raymond Bubel and Mary Beth Symonds of Barrie died Saturday in Florida where he was winter resident He was 57 Mr Bubel an Alberta native served 32 years in the Royal Canadian Air Force retiring as lieutenant colonel He is survived by his wife Thelma two sons Raymond of Barrie and William of Hunt sville two daughters Bonnie Anne Bennetts of North Bay and Mary Beth Symonds of Barrie and two grandchildren Also surviving are four brothers and three sisters Services were to be held to day in Huntsville ers in Vietnam Americans lJon Senscnig and Max Ediger and the writer Sensenig speaks Vietnamese fluently NOTHARDLINERS While Vietnam is politically aligned with the Communist bloc practically it is giving sig nals that it is anxious to restore diplomatic relations with the Western powers especially the United States and join the United Nations And in various ways it is suggesting that it isnt bent on hardlining om munist course On all the planes the delegav tion flew on in Vietnam despite the presence of Russians or East Germans the announce ments were in Vietnamese and English Even in the Hanoi air port they overheard Russian woman asking for directions met with the response from young attendant Im sorry speak English member of the Peoples Committee of Hanoi who ac companied the Mennonites told them the four most popular for eign languages studied by stu dents from the fifth grade on are English 30 per cent Rus sian 30 French 2025 and Chinese 15 NATIVES FRIENDLY On the streets Vietnamese often guessed the three Men nonites must be Russians or Cu bans but when they were told the Mennonites were Americans and Canadian the response was almost always friendly and never hostile Vietnamese told their guests that they have no reason to hate American people Their struggle was against the Fren ch and American im perialists meaning the gover nment and the military and their puppet regime in South Vietnam and not against the people The Vietnamese style of so ciaiism filtered through in many ways Despite 20 years of Communist government in the north free enterprise survives Even the government official who travelled with the Men nonites throu out their time in Vietnam sair that for certain food he went to the private stalls in the Hanoi market It may cost more he said but it tastes better Many others seemed to be making the same choice be cause the section with private stalls was obviously busier than the stateowned and collective sections Many small shops in lianois streets are privately owned On visit to collective farm the farm director said it had 800 pigs produced collec tively and an equal number raised privately farmer has the choice whether he will enter collective or stay out and may even pull out after he has joined though the government has created strong pressures through access to equipment fertilizer and marketing to move farming toward collec tivization Nevertheless five per cent of the land is per manently set aside even on col lectives for private cultivation Organized religion in Viet nam may also be doing better than many predicted it might at the end of the conflict in April 1975 While the Christian church clearly is under pressure from the government Christians might have expected much worse The militant op position to religion visibly present in some Communist countries does not appear to be present in Vietnam Christmas still is big celev bration throughout Vietnam which once had strong Roman Catholic presence and several Christians told the Mennonites they had received food and sup plies from the authorities at Christmas so they could enjoy truly solemn celebration Catholics who had 500 chur ches destroyed or damaged in the north durin the war and evangelicals an Buddhists all reported they had received gov ernment aid for rebuilding war damaged churches or pagodas since then Churches also continue to conduct youth activities and classes During visit to the lianoi Catholic Cathedral many children were seen and choir of children and adults sang with beaut in the midst of hard ando ten drablifc Catholic priest V0 Thanh Irinh represents Can Tho con stituency south of Saigon in the National Assembly one of about dozen Christians in the Assembly He told the Men nonites that religious belief is no obstacle to entrance into schools or public offices The issue of treatment of for mer supporters of the socalled puppet regime in Saigon con tinues to be major concern to Vietnam watchers Few solid clues have emerged IOUSC st Big John coming to Barrie Gospel singer Big John Hall Texas native noted for his bass voice will appear
