(Note. We think we have found a helper for Mr. Lawson, and we hope that his first message for you will appear in the next issue. Your thoughts will soon be turning to Christmas – if they have not been turned that way already, Mr. Lawson has kindly provided you with a very ‘Christmassy’ Competition, which you will all enjoy. – Editors.)

SEPTEMBER COMPETITION RESULTS

There was a much bigger entry for this competition, especially from the “Over Twelves.” No-one sent in a list that agreed exactly with the one given below; but there were some cases where it was difficult to see whether the Word of God was referred to. The Senior Prize has been awarded to Rosemary Prouten (15) of Bridestowe. Good answers were also sent by Ruth Steedman (15¾) of Birmingham, Rosalind Chamings (12½) of Rubery, and Julia Cutland (16) of Crediton. The Junior Prize goes to Brian Ponsford (10) of Dinas Powis. Two young competitors, Richard Phillips (8) of Knowle, and Margaret Davis (8½) of Manchester, did quite well in this rather hard competition.
