But he led those ftocks, kept them
together, and held Bible studies until
we began graduating ministers from
Ambassador College. Otherwise,
those churcbes would have died be–
fore they really were started.
Basil Wolverton became one of my
lifetime close personal friends, as
well as serving as elder in tbe Van–
couver and Portland churches until
Ambassador College graduated min–
isters. The churches grew-through
the loyalty and continuous labors of
Mr.
Wolverton.
After Ambassador College was
well established, Mr. Wolverton
wrote the only Bible story book for
children that we have ever put out. It
was written in bis unique writing
style, and profusely illustrated by his
own style of art illustrations.
This unique
Bible Story,
starting
with Genesis 1, appeared for a long
while montb by month in

Finally it was done into a

As a memorial tribute to Basil
Wolverton, I am now ordering a new
edition of
The Bible Story
book. l
have not, at the moment , decided
whether to publish it as a paperback
cover book to be offered again gratis
or to produce it as a high-quality
hardbound book to be put on sale in

It is entirely different from any
other Bible story book ever produced.
It relates the true story of the Bible
beginning in Genesis
l.
It is not a
grouping of isolated Bible stories
about certain disconnected events–
but the continuous story flow of the
Bible from Genesis 1 on-unlike any
"Bible story book" ever printed.
In this way, Basil Wolverton's tal–
ent and unique work wiJI continue
living on after him.
1 loved Basil very much- as did all
who knew him. And the same is true
of his lovely wife Honor, who also
"endured to the end" in her loyalty to
caring for Mr. Wolverton from the
time of his first stroke until his death.
Honor, too, will surely be "honored"
in the Kingdom of God. I know
Christ would have me pay tribute to
Honor, a most gr acious and charm–
ing and devoted wife to Basil through
the years.
