Dear Brethren;

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

JUST MORE PRETTY FACES IN THE CROWD
Many (some) (a few) (one) of you (mom) ask when we were going to update the picture you see every time you have the privilege of receiving one of our newsletters. (I am taking a class on humility by correspondence and not doing too well.) So here it is for what it is worth. Oh, and you are so right, the kids have really grown up! No remarks about my skin hat!

ROUND AND ROUND UP AND DOWN AND THRU

And the ink fountain roller makes contact with the ductor roller and the ductor roller makes contact with the idler distribution roller and the idler distribution roller makes contact with the auxiliary oscillator roller and the auxiliary oscillator roller makes contact with the idler distribution rollers and the idler distribution rollers make contact with the ink form rollers and the ink form rollers make contact with the master cylinder (with the printing plate attached) and the master cylinder makes contact with the impression blanket and the impression blanket makes contact with the paper (which is being fed from the paper table through the feed rollers) and the paper drops into the paper receiver tray.
It's enough to wear one out if they thought about the route of the ink and paper every revolution of the motor of a printing press. (I did get dizzy one day trying to follow the cycle. Almost made an impression falling into the machine.) That is the normal way in which the presses are to operate. Then how come I have two printing presses that forget where the paper is suppose to go and I end up with paper everywhere. Wrapped around ink rollers, water rollers, in the air, back into the feed rollers etc.

This past month I have been operating both presses simultaneously. Becky's sister Judith has been helping collate the song book and various other books. After she collates I staple the whole thing together and then tape the edge for the final product.

With the use of both presses I was able to print over 170,860 pieces of literature. This is represented in 3650 copies of 15 different books containing 169 lessons

Also printed was a 13 page tract entitled "The Church is ...” written by Alen Henderson of Port Moresby. We printed over 1500 copies for distribution here. All our Bible schools and literacy classes use exercise books in their courses. The cheapest books I have seen were 40¢ for a 32 page book. Several (picture: still plenty of books to do!) years ago I bought a large supply of paper from a stationary store here in Goroka. The paper had been in storage for some time and the rats and cockroaches had been feasting on the corners of the packets. I was able to buy the paper real cheap and this month I salvaged the best and used the paper to print up exercise books which we can sell for just 15¢ for a 40 page exercise book. We printed enough for 2000 books.

We also printed up books which are used by Nancy Merritt in Lae in her 'Kisim Save' (literacy) classes. The majority of books are used in the Bible classes. They are: Genesis; Stories of the Patriarches; Lessons to help new Christians; Acts; Stories of Jesus from the book of Luke; the Walk of the Christian life; and the Teachings of Jesus.
