Romans 15:1-3 says, "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbour for his good to build him up. For Christ did not please himself."

Galatians 6:9-10 says, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. As we have opportunity let us do good to everyone and especially to those who are of the household of faith."

MOUNT DARWIN

I was saddened and shocked to hear of the falling asleep of my dear tutor, Bro. George Fitch. He was my tutor from the 1980's till his untimely death and was sending us the Bible Message Calendar every year. The calendars had their special position and place and this year the calendar position is empty. Together with my children and the entire family we will remember with affection the late Bro. George's wide knowledge of the Truth. May our Father grant him a joyful awakening to life and peace evermore.
