of the Old Testament tell us that in the end time Jerusalem will be
compassed with armies. The prophet Ezekiel Chapters 38-39
mentions that the armies of the north will come against Israel and
cover it as a cloud, but that God will help Israel and that all but I 6
of the army of the north will be destroyed. It will take Israel
seven months to bury these dead and because Russia is now
making its war materials out of wood treated with chemical so that
it will be harder then medal but will burn and will provide Israel
with fuel for seven years.
Why does God always seem i~o help Israel and why have they
suffered as no other nation? God said to Abraham "I will bless
them that bless Thee, and curse him that curseth Thee." Gen.
12 ::L God is faithful to his promise.
They have s~'fered because of their rejection of Christ. When
Pilate said "l am innocent of the blood of the just one," the Jews
cried out "His blood be upon us and our children." Matt. 27:24,25.
STRANGERS
The laws that God gave to Israel included special laws
concerning the treatment of strangers:
"You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were
strangers in the land of Egypt" (Exodus 22.21 )
"Love the sojourner, . .for you were sojourners in the land of
Egypt" (Deuteronomy 10.16 )
"You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner...But you
shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the Lord your
God redeemed you from there." ( Deuteronomy 24.17 )
The law of Moses commanded the Israelites not to oppress the
stranger. Beside the negative command, there was a positive
command: love~he sojourner. Welcome him, extend a hand of

midst, whether it be into your country, town, church, school, or
neighborhood, they often encounter difficulties. For their benefit
God commanded special rules.
A stranger often finds it hard to get established in a new location.
Especially if he speaks a different language, has different
customs, clothing, religion or ethnic background from those
around him. These differences set him apart. He may even be
redieuled because of them.
It is easier for the unscrupulous to take advantage of a stranger.
He doesn't know the ways of his new home. He is unfamiliar with
the prices, customs, and laws of the area. He doesn't have friends
in high places that can help him out. He can be taken advantage of
very easily.
People are very comfortable in the midst of their own group of
friends and acquaintances that they have known for a long time. It
is very easy to be friendly only to your friends and forget about
every one else. It is difficult for strangers to enter such groups.
Wlaenever strangers come into our midst, we often feel
threatened by their presence. We question their motives for being
there and wonder what kind of influence they will bring with them.
Will they attempt to change our set ways and our long observed
customs? Will they start to interfere with the way we have
everything arranged~?
As a result strangers are often looked upon with suspicion.
Prejudices arise m this manner. History has countless examples
of people of various ethnic, racial, and religious groups being
persecuted simply because they were different from the rriajority
around them. It is very easy to think of strangers as nameless
members of a crowd rather than as individual human beings.
Jesus challenges us with these questions: "If you love those who
love you, what credit is thal In you? For even sinners love those
who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you,
what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same." (Luke
6.:32-33 J.
In dealing with strangers, the follower of Jesus Christ is called
upon not to ignore them. Rather he is commanded to take the
initiative and break the barriers that separate people and extend
God's love to those around him regardless of who they are.
Once again girls from twelve Ely Girl Scout troops are offering

AROUND THE WORLD BY SNOWMOBILE is the goal of Bill
Cooper, Leader of the Trans-World Snowmobile Expedition.
Cooper will be featured in a fascinating slide presentation at the
Washington Auditorium in Ely, Sunday, November 4, at 7:30 p.m.
The program is sponsored by members of the Ely Indoor Sports
Enclosure and the American Field Service.
In the 19th century explorers of the Artic wilderness traveled by
water as much as possible. The various attempts to be first at the
North Pole were concluded over the polar ice cap by dog sled.
Since 1909 and Robert E. Peary's successful dash by dog sled to the
North Pole from Ellsemere Island, few persons have covered the
distances traveled by Bill Cooper in reaching and traversing the
Artic wastelands. (Wally Herbert, well-known Canadian Artic and
Antartic explorer, is one of these• Herbert's latest feat as leader of
the British Trans Artic Expedition, was to spend sixteen months
with five companions traveling by dog sled from Point Barrow
Alaska to the island of Spitzbergen, passing over the North Pole,
enroute).
Bill Cooper, a native of Hythe, Alberta, is a licensed Canadian
guide and veteran Artic Traveler. Because his Father never
became a Canadian citizen, Cooper could choose American
citizenship and did so when he joined the armed service in 1951.
Following his tour of duty he became a cross-country trucker and
collected information for the "Truckers Guide, Low Underpasses
and Scales", published in 1963.
Cooper met the snowmobile in 1962 when he and his family
settled briefly in Circle Pines, Minnesota. Later, after he
purchased property in Willow River, which he now calls home, he
and his snowmobile became almost inseparable! Sometime in late
1~8 he first conceived the idea of leading a snowmobile expedition
around the world - even his best friends thought he had lost his
mind !
In February 1971 "crazy" Bill Cooper and two of those friends
made a "trial run" on the Artic - 3250 miles by snowmobile from
