whinimamsmme l A Greenstreet News Co. Publication by Rev. Charles H. Gilbert It is not likely that any of my readers can understand the pro- blem our new dog is facing. The worst of it is that we are a part of the probelm and having a terrible time becoming the solu- tion. Ever get in such a fix? We did not take the trouble to guess we did not realize that this little dog, bright as she is, may not have the qualities of reasoning ability that she problem I ran into in trying to make my own translation of a beautiful sentence in the Greek yess I like the way the verse starts out: ‘The Lord is a God of knowledge, and God suit, business, practice, study, habits, manner of life’’.) Our Kynarion is a knowledge- ble doggie, must know a lot we don’t know. But to reason with her bright eyes, eager look, in- tense countenance of pure devo- tion well, I didn’t have words to say it all. She knew about this newcomer for whom we made elaborate preparations, even to actually cementing down some red carpet on the steps of both front and back entries. She must know this newcomer is a that. The two of us went out the other evening to go and. get this Dottie-person, telling little dog to stay home, take care of the house and ‘‘we’ll be back”. Any dog living with us has heard that storg@many times, and has had to fi@ire out the meaning for themselves. When we returned bringing some luggage and this new per- son, Kynarion fell instantly in the household. She welcomed her with open arms and claws and mouth full of sharp teeth. She wanted to take right hold of the nearest part of her-sweater sleeves, coat hems, fingers! She was ready to devour Dorothy in pieces, not with a bit of ill-will, but of a most loving smile! When we look at Kynarion face to face we can only wish she didn’t look so angelic in what we interpret as naughti- ness! In time she will, and al- ready is adapting her behavior to Dorothy as a member of the not easy. @ut as we sometimes say, “It will all work out all right!”’ Before now I have explained where we got the name Kynarionigit was what was un- der the tab¥e in that Canaanitish women in the region of Tyre and Sidon which Jesus, with some of his disciples, visited. I got a new and friendlier insight into that story after reading it in Greek and finding that the “little dogs under the table” were called Kynariai. It was Dorothy on one of her missionary cultivation trips to Newark Valley who brought home fo us a puppy from one of our friends in that town. Tuffy was our dog all those 13-years, and now his body ot cay i a acquainted is A Tha"Bristol” 749.50 It's not often that you find a truly magnificent gift at a savings.

And Kynarion is dancing, and capering her way around these premises with full anticipation of her next thrill of meeting whoever comes along. These are precious days to us of course. One of my correspon- dents wrote me that she would not expect such frequent letters now that Dorothy is home, and that I should enjoy every min- ute possible in conversation with her. I appreciate that generous understanding. I am following the intent of it. But there are times when I can sit down at the typewriter and do the writing I have and love to do. Dorothy herself is a prolific letter writer and I share the machine with her. I want to say right here and now, that the more I know of her life and work in central Africa, the more wil- ling I am to share her abilities in them a people of great need. If I were over there in person I could never minister to them in ways she is qualified to do. I have received some very touching expressions of gratitude from some of those people thanking me deeply for “sending her to them.” She brought me one time a wood- carving of an African man sitting with a fishing pole in his hands waiting for a catch, which somebody bought especi- ally for Dorothy to give to me in gratitude for her ministry among them. Don’t tell me that ‘those people’ don’t appreciate what is being done for them. And I humbly (I hope!) share in that appreciation.
