GLEANER February 17 1986 page 5 Listen Works! By Gary B. Swanson

Death with its boldness comes out with his shiny black cape. The cape of peaceful and restless blackness of death. Life with the humbleness of all-knowing slips in quietly. Life has no cape for life has nothing to hide. Now the duel has begun, the duel for me. The weapons are chosen — friends, parents, problems, and solutions. Death strikes first . . . These are the first few lines of a peom written by a 14-year-old Indiana girl. She penned these words and sent them, along with several other poems, to the editors of Listen magazine. Each poem was a strong personal expression of the fears and frustra- tions of being a teenager. She wrote in another poem: Why won't anyone listen? Don't they care? So why not end it now, Just make it all end So I'll never have to worry again? Taken together the poems seemed like a call for help. And Listen responded. The editors contacted the school system for the town from which the girl had written.

Kenai, Alaska, Members Participate In Many Health-Oriented Programs

The concept of the caring church in North America, although a fairly recent develop- ment as an organizing principle, has had a long history on the Kenai Peninsula south of Anchorage in Alaska. The Kenai Penin- sula, noted for its fabulous sports fishing, is the playground of South Central Alaska. About 11 years or so ago, the Gibb and Bolin families began an entry event at a local fair. This program has developed until, to- day, the Kenai Church is invited year- around to participate in many different kinds of health-oriented programs.

By Sharon Pierce

Wesley Merrill, a 44-year-old Meadow Glade, Wash., resident and a 1960 graduate of Columbia Adventist Academy, worked in construction with his father-in-law until frequent bouts with the flu left him too weak to work. In a visit with his doctor on Sept. 4, 1985, Merrill learned he had heart prob- lems — not the flu. Then on Sept. 18, Merrill was told he needed a heart transplant.

The community took a real interest in the progress of the handwritten Bible. Many stopped to see how it was going. A progress chart was made and people could see what had been finished and what needed to be done. The local paper sent a reporter and photographer to check it out. The result was a large front page article in the community section of the paper. After the article more people took an interest. Posters were put in town. The local churches were contacted.
