Obituary

ASTOR Gumjorn Sriratprapas P was born in Bangkok, Thailand, April 7, 1932. He finished his sec- ondary education at the Adventist Mission School at the Chinese church, which later burned. He attended Southeast Asia Union College for a short time and in 1962 he was sent to the Philippines to attend the Extension School. He was planning to attend Andrews University in America. Brother Gumjorn was baptized by Pastor Wayne A. Martin on the 30th of December, 1950, in the Sanitarium church. On May 28, 1956, he was married to Miss Ura Roongroj, one of the first graduates of the Sanitarium School Pastor R. E. Bartolome, MV secretary and in charge of the Medical of Nursing.

He was appointed editor of the Thailand Publishing House in 1963. Under his guidance a new Thai medical book, New Life, was published and is now being sold by the colporteurs in Thailand. Two major projects were not com- pleted, namely the translating of Desire of Ages and the new Thai hymnal. Two months previous to his death, he was appointed pastor of the Ekamai church in Bangkok. The deceased is survived by his wife, two children, his mother, four brothers and three sisters. He died of a heart attack on Sunday, October 24, 1965, at the Bangkok Sanitarium and Hospital at the age of 33.

West Indonesia

The large group of literature evangelists who attended the annual institute for the West Indonesia Union Mis- sion which was held in Bandung, Java. Missing from this group are the colporteurs from North Sumatra.

This group of fine-looking Seventh- day Adventists were formerly Mus- lims. In addition to being loyal members of the church, they are also literature evangelists. The pic- ture was taken at the time of the institute held in Bandung for the West Indonesia Union Mission. Guest instructors were Pastors W. A. Higgins and E. A. Brodeur.

Indonesia literature evangelists not only win souls to Christ but they also "sell" them the idea of be- coming fellow colporteurs. This large group of people was won to the Seventh-day Adventist message by other literature evangelists and they are now regular bookmen in the West Indonesia Union. 10 FAR EASTERN DIVISION OUTLOOK December, 1965
