The purpose of this service was to encourage people to become interested in their fellow beings, Pastor Rampton said in Christchurch yesterday. In every New Zealand and Australian Seventh - day Adventist church, a cupboard, a room, and even a building would be put aside for the gathering and sorting of clothing, blankets, and essential food In any national emergency, such as flooding, Are. or even an atomic disaster, these articles would be available to the public. In Australia, the service was working in liaison with the civil defence authorities. Accompanying Pastor Rampton on his brief visit to New Zealand is Pastor C. E. Guenther, an American, and world leader of this service for the church. Pastor Rampton will return to his headquarters in Sydney at the end of tha week.
