Thanksgiving and praise should be expressed to God for temporal blessings and for whatever comforts He bestows upon us.

2 CENTRAL UNION REAPER, NOVEMBER 28, 1972 INGATHERING PROGRESS REPORT, NOVEMBER 18 I have just returned to the office a few minutes ago from helping in the Ingathering program. I am so grateful for the faithful work being done by our pastors, their wives, and the laymen. I was inspired to find in each of the churches I helped this week that there are such faithful, enthusiastic laymen who are 70 and 80 years of age out every night in bad weather. This is dedication that God is honoring. As every member of every church does his best, God will honor that effort with souls and funds too. We are happy to see nice gains in each conference this week. Only two conferences show a loss over this week last year. We are certain by next week they will again be in the gain column. Because of your faithful effort the union shows a gain of $5,015.41. Let us keep up the good work for our God. Howard H. Voss, Central Union, Lay Activities Department

Fascinating Womanhood Class In Lincoln The Piedmont Park church in Lincoln was happy for the opportunity to present a two-hour program each Sunday night for eight weeks. Mrs. Howard H. Voss made a kind but straight-forward presentation each evening, spiced with down-to-earth illustrations and a sprinkling of humor. Elder Howard H. Voss, Central Union Lay Activities secretary, helped launch a program with a challenge to men to do their best in the marriage relationship. About 60 ladies greatly appreciated the material presented and said it had been a

In the last days, the Adversary's prime target is the home. As a church, we must do more to strengthen the homes within the church and the community. It has been told that marriage is a 50-50 proposition. This is wrong; each marriage partner must give 100 percent toward a successful marriage—not 50 percent effort, 50 percent of the time. On Monday evening, November 13, a beautiful formal banquet by candlelight highlighted the close of the class. This was attended by the ladies of the class and their husbands, and served by some of the daughters of those attending. The food was prepared by Mrs. V. L. Heglund; Mrs. Eugene Schander; Mrs. Donald Prowant; Mrs. Oliver Pogue, and Mrs. Jeri Berthelsen. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Pierce; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Aberle, and Mr. and Mrs..

The camporee began Friday evening with the customary campfire program. Sabbath morning brought great ex- citement to the campers as they all put on their dress uniform for Sabbath. Sabbath school and church were held in the Ranch dining hall due to the cold weather. Sabbath afternoon, although chilly, was devoted to a nature hunt and identification, followed by a Bible quiz among the clubs. The Enterprise Pioneers squeezed by in the final round, just narrowly edging out Hutchinson. The Pathfinder youth did well with the Bible questions asked. After our vespers, the talent program was held around the campfire, and although cold, all had a great time. Sunday morning after the kite flying contest, the camporee events took place, which included a grab bag relay (patching a tire tube, peeling a potato, sewing on a button and hooking electrical wire to an outlet), axemanship and pup tent pitching, stilt race, bowline, sheetbend draw, judging height, track and trail, and a pack relay.
