In spite of disturbances and upheavals, the work of God in 
Central America A D V ANCE 
By I.. L. REILE 
President 
Central American Union 
CENTRAL AMERICA was plagued 
with political disturbances as well as 
upheavals in nature during 1963, but 
the greatest manifestation of power 
was wrought by God in changing 
lives of men, sinners converted to 
become heroes of salvation. Men and 
women dedicated to vice, violence, 
and sin are now respected neighbours 
and friends. 
The most colourful soul-winning 
activity within this union was realised 
among the San Blas Indians of the 
Panama Conference. Brother and 
Sister Claudio Hernandez started a 
day school on Rio Sidra Island, 
which has fathered an organised 
Sabbath school on that island and 
two branch Sabbath schools on other 
islands. Calls are coming from sur-
rounding islands to open work among 
them. The first aid that the Hernan-
dezes administer is successfully 
winning friends for God's truth. 
Throughout the Panama Conference 
workers and laymen are participating 
in an active evangelistic programme, 
which resulted in almost 600 bap- 
tisms last year. E. E. Maxson is leading a strong, spiritual, 
progressive programme, loyally supported by the entire 
staff. 
Efrain Murillo was conducting an effort in Limon, 
Costa Rica, when he was invited to pray for a very sick 
man. This man was suffering from a tumor that medical 
specialists apparently could not remove. After anointing 
and special prayer, the stricken man vomited the tumor 
'and its contents. Today he is a happy, active Seventh-
day Adventist. Almost 300 were baptised in Costa Rica 
during 1963. David Garcia is president of this field. 
In Alajula, Costa Rica, we have Colegio Vocacional 
de America Central. Under the able direction of T. J. 
Harper, the dedicated staff is working unitedly to help 
youth prepare for heaVen and "to aid in the finishing of 
God's work on earth. More than half of the workers in 
this union territory are graduates of Colegio Vocacional. 
This year 335 students from the -seven Central American 
countries are studying, and working to fit themselves for 
service. Many help defray their expenses by working

Messages to the Church 
By JACKSON A. SAXON, M.D. 
,Ayekiilaye 
DOCTOR, do you think just a little 
coffee will hurt me? Do you think 
that a vegetarian diet is healthful 
enough for children? Is God really 
so particular when it comes to follow-
ing our health message? 
A number of times following 
health talks that I have given, these 
questions have been asked. In the 
thinking of many Seventh-day Ad-
ventists, the modern trend seems to be 
the judgement that God isn't so 
particular. Too many Adventists 
seems to believe that many of the 
principles concerning healthful living 
can be accepted or rejected at the 
whim of an individual. 
I am often amazed at the confused 
ideas some Seventh-day Adventists 
have concerning health principles. In 
spite of the very specific directions the 
Spirit of Prophecy gives us, -this 
phase of our religion has been pushed-• 
into a corner. 
I believe the Lord gave us the 
Spirit of Prophecy writings in order 
to help us realise the need for more 
self-denial and strictness in our 
Christian experience. Why would God 
have gone to all the trouble to record 
for us the principles of health if He 
did not expect us to utilize this in-
formation? 
Mrs. White has written so simply 
and clearly that there is very little 
danger of misinterpretation or mis-
understanding. The language used 
can be easily understood, and often 
shows us the deeper and more in-
clusive meaning of the Scriptures. 
Her writings help us avoid general-
isations in the interpretation of the 
Bible. They make the standards of 
God very definite. 
Mrs. White has recorded for our 
benefit numerous instances in which 
God sent information concerning the 
Christian experience of church mem-
bers in order to show them their 
error. Many of these special mes-
sages concerned healthful living. 
Both the Bible and the Spirit of 
Prophecy writings show that God is 
a God of order and preciseness, and 
that there is no place in His plan of 
salvation for slipshod obedience. 
Could the rationalisation that God 
is no longer particular in regard to 
health principles be a method of 
soothing the conscience or a way of 
justifying one's actions? Such ration-
alisation may easily lead to putting 
human judgement above that of 
God's. Rationalisation immediately 
makes the Christian way of living 
much less demanding, and requires 
less self-denial and control on our 
part. 
The Bible is filled with instances 
showing how God especially blessed 
those who were particular in follow-
ing His instructions. The story of 
Daniel and his companions is an out-
standing example. Why do we hear 
so much about Daniel and his friends 
and so little concerning the hun-
dreds of other young Israelites who 
were captured by the Babylonians? 
They were willing to recognise that 
God was particular, that His require-
ments should be honoured no matter 
what the cost may be. 
It would have been easy for them 
to rationalise that the king's food, 
which was offered to idols, would 
not hurt them because they had no 
faith in the king's idols. They could 
have decided to pick out the food 
they wanted at the table and thus 
get by. But Daniel and his compan-
ions knew that such action might 
constitute a stumbling block to some 
of the other young Israelites. They 
also knew that the king's food was 
not always prepared in the most 
healthful manner. 
In order to adhere strictly to God's 
requirements they had to take their 
stand against what the king thought 
best. The blessings that they received 
from God showed that He approved 
this decision. Wisdom and power be-
yond their natural ability were given 
to these young men because they 
had the fortitude to be faithful con-
cerning their food and drink. This 
same type of fortitude is necessary 
today for Seventh-day Adventists 
who are determined to be faithful 
concerning their food and drink. 
Mrs. White tells us, "There are 
many among professed Christians 
today who would decide that Daniel 
was too particular, and would pro-
nounce him narrow and bigoted. 
They consider the matter of eating 
and drinking of too little conse-
quence to require such a decided 
stand,—one involving the probable 
sacrifice of every earthly advantage. 
But those who reason thus will find 
in the day of judgement that they 
turned from God's express require-
ments, and set up their own opinion 
as a standard of—right and wrong. 
They will find that what seemed to 
them unimportant was not so re-
garded by God. His requirements 
should be sacredly obeyed." Counsels 
on Diet and Foods, p. 30. 
Such fortitude as exhibited by 
Daniel and his friends required 
strong convictions. Clear-cut con-
victions come from acquaintance 
with God's will. We must take time 
to think and meditate on the will of 
God. Definite convictions concerning 
His requirements give vitality and 
life to one's religious experience. It 
is the self-denial and effort to reach 
the standard that God has set that 
Definite convictions concerning His requirements give vitality and life to one's religious experience.

MESSENGER 
fly Shepherd Psalm 
Arranged by Adria Bird House 
The Lord is my shepherd 
"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; he shall gather the lambs 
in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shalt gently lead those 
that are young" (Isa. 40:11). 
I shall not want 
"I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the 
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread" (Ps. 37:25). 
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures 
"And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure 
dwellings, and in quiet resting places" (Isa. 32:18). 
He leadeth me beside the still waters 
"There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of 
God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High" (Ps. 46:4) 
He restoreth my soul 
"The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of ' them 
that trust in him shall be desolate" (Ps. 34:22). 
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake 
`And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of 
righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever" (Isa. 32:17). 
Yea, though 1 walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will 
fear no evil 
"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy 
God I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea I will uphold 
thee with the right hand of my righteousness" (Isa. 41:10). 
For thou art With me 
"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and 
through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest 
through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame 
kindle upon thee" (Isa. 43:2). 
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me 
"I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and 
restore comforts unto him" (Isa. 57:18). 
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies 
"When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies 
to be at peace with him" (Prov. 16:7). 
Thou anointest my head with oil 
"Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him 
from his holy heaven with the saving of his right hand" (Ps. 20:6). 
My cup runneth over 
"The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou 
maintainest my lot" (Ps. 16:5) 
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life 
"Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them 
that fear thee: which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee 
before the sons of men" (Ps. 31:19). 
And I wilt dwell in the house of the Lotd for ever 
"Thy •people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land 
for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I 
may be glorified" (Isa. 60:21). 
REVIEW AND HERALD 
produces emotional and mental matu-
rity. 
Certainly the standard of Chris-
tianity that Christ left us is the 
epitome of mature thinking and 
action. Although God requires faith-
ful obedience He does not sanction 
fanaticism. The life of a strict Chris-
tian may appear fanatical when com-
pared with a life filled with the in-
dulgences that are approved by 
many professing Christians today. 
Indifference and the lack of strong 
convictions concerning the Christian 
way of life seem to be a mark of the 
times in which we live. I heard a 
young man who was the representa-
tive of a large group of Christian 
young people make a speech. He 
said their group had no stated goal. 
He gave the impression that the 
group was floating along with the 
general trend and hoping that some 
good would come from their lives. 
Could this lack of a goal be due to 
indifference or lack of convictions? 
Is this the type of Christian that the 
Bible says can be blown around "with 
every wind of doctrine" (Eph. 4:13, 
14)? 
The rationalisation that God is not 
particular is not new. Recorded in 
the Bible is the story of Naaman. He 
went to a lot of effort to reach the 
prophet who could cleanse him of 
his leprosy. But when he was told 
that to be cleansed of his disease he 
must go and dip in the Jordan River 
seven times, he immediately felt that 
he had a better way. He reasoned 
that the rivers of his own country, 
which were much cleaner, would be 
just as good as the muddy Jordan. 
He immediately set out for his own 
country. He was determined that he 
wasn't going to follow the simple 
directions he had received from the 
prophet, for surely his own way was 
best. 
Fortunately, one of his servants 
Saw the importance of being very 
particular in following the instructions 
that had been given. He was able 
to persuade Naaman to do exactly 
as the prophet had told him. When 
Naaman followed God's instructions 
he was healed of his leprosy. Had 
Naaman persisted in the idea that 
his way was surely as good as the 
prophet's way, and that it didn't 
really matter which river he dipped 
himself into, he would have failed to 
receive the blessing God had for him.

The Adventist Home 
I WISH to arouse parents to see 
the importance of their position. 
Few parents take time to think of 
how much depends on the instruction 
and training a child receives during 
the early years of its life. It is at 
this time that the foundation of a 
child's character is laid. "Train up 
a child in the way he should go; and 
when he is old, he will not depart 
from it," are the words of the wise 
man. The lessons a child learns at the 
mother's .knee determine its future 
experience. 
How few parents realise this as 
they should. As I have called mothers' 
attention to the wrong habits they 
were encouraging in their little ones, 
some have listened indifferently, 
while others have said, with a smile, 
"I can not bear to cross my children. 
They will then be ashamed of these 
passionate outbursts. It is not well to 
be too strict with little ones. They 
will outgrow the inclination to tell 
untruths, to meddle, to be indolent 
and selfish." 
A very easy way truly to dispose 
of the matter, but a way that is not 
in harmony with the will of God. 
If a field is left uncultivated, a crop 
of weeds is sure to appear. So it is 
with children. If the soil of the heart 
is uncultivated, Satan sows his seeds 
of anger and hatred, selfishness and 
pride, and they quickly spring up.,, 
to bear a harvest that parents reap 
with bitter regret. Too late they see 
their terrible mistake. The wrong 
they have done can never be wholly 
undone. Even if the child, by patient, 
untiring care, is at last won to the 
Saviour, his character will always 
bear the marks of Satan's seed-
sowing.

By MRS. E. G. WHITE 
turning the common water of 
life into the wine of heaven. 
Children left to themselves grow 
up selfish, exacting, unlovable. Un-
able to enjoy their own society or the 
society of others, their lives are filled 
with discontent. 
Aided by the grace of Christ, 
mothers have it in their power to do 
a great and grand work. This Satan 
knows, and he works with all his 
power to prevent them from doing 
this work. He seeks to fill the mind 
with thoughts of fashionable dress. 
Thus he absorbs the time and strength 
of even Christian mothers so that 
they have no time to give to the 
training of their children or to self-
improvement. 
When the enemy thus secures the 
attention of the mother, he rejoices; 
for he knows how much he has 
gained. He looks on the children as 
an easy prey; for he has the mother. 
She thinks more of display, more of 
what others think and say of her, 
than she does of the training of the 
precious souls in her care. 
As she sets her feet in the path of 
fashion, she becomes infatuated. In 
order to keep pace with the demands 
of the bondage in which she has 
sold herself, she works early and late, 
overtaxing mind and body. She be-
comes so wearied with remodeling 
unfashionable garments and making 
new ones, that she has no heart to 
read her Bible or to pray. She is 
too tired to give time to her children. 
She becomes perplexed and dis-
tressed. The yoke that she is trying 
to bear is very galling; but she 
imagines that it must be borne, and 
matyr-like she toils on, struggling 
under her self-imposed burden. 
Jesus is calling, "Come unto me, all 
ve that labour and are heavy laden, 
and I will give you rest . . . My 
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.' 
But she does not hear the gracious 
invitation. The Saviour's voice is 
drowned by the clamorous demands 
of fashion. 
Mothers, do not forget that God 
requires you to give your children 
constant, loving care. He does not 
want you to be a slave to your 
children, but He does want you to 
teach them to live for Him. Day by 
day give them lessons that will pre-
pare them for future usefulness. One 
lesson that you will have to repeat 
over and over again is the lesson of 
obedience. Teach your children that 
they are not to rule, that they are 
to respect your wishes, and yield to 
your authority. Thus you are teaching 
them self-control. Give them nothing 
for which they cry, even though 
your tender heart would lead you to 
indulge them. If they gain the 
victory once by crying, they will 
expect to do so again, and the next 
time they will be harder to control. 
Children inherit inclinations to 
wrong, but they also have many 
lovely traits of character. These 
should be strengthened and de-
veloped, while the tendencies to evil 
should be carefully guarded against 
and repressed. Children should neyer 
be flattered, for flattery is poison to 
them; but parents should show a 
sanctified, tender regard for them, 
thus gaining their confidence and 
love. 
When children lose their self-
control, and speak passionate words, 
the parents should for a time keep 
silent, neither reproving nor con-
demning. At such times silence is 
golden, and will do more to bring 
repentance than any words that can 
be uttered. Satan is well pleased 
when parents irritate their children 
by speaking harsh, angry words. 
Paul has given a caution on this 
point: "Fathers' provoke not your 
children to anger, lest they be dis-
couraged." They may be very wrong, 
but you can not lead them to the 
right by losing patience with them. 
Let your calmness help to restore 
them to a proper frame of mind. 
Jesus loves children and youth. He 
rejoices when he sees Satan repulsed

in his efforts to overcome them. 
Many a youth is in imminent peril 
through manifold temptation, but the 
Saviour has the tenderest sympathy 
for him, and sends His angels to 
guard and protect him. He is the

into the wilderness to seek for the 
lost, straying sheep. 
Mothers, do you sigh for a mis-
sionary field? In your home you have 
a missionary field in which you may 
labour with untiring energy and un-
flagging zeal, knowing that the result 
of your work will endure through 
all eternity. Are not the souls of your 
children of as much value as the 
souls of the heathen? Then tend them

In Other Lands 
By WESLEY AMUNDSEN, Secretary, North American Missions Committee 
ONE of the interesting events 
taking place within the framework of 
the Seventh-day Adventist denomi-
nation, at present, is the long-awaited 
recognition of the needs of the Indian 
peoples of North America. In 1940 
L. M. Halswick, secretary of the 
Bureau of Home Missions of the 
General Conference, wrote that there 
were on this continent, (without 
Mexico) approximately 350,000 In-
dian people representing a variety of 
tribes. Today the number is double 
that of 1940 and still on the increase. 
As one antropologist wrote recently: 
"It may come as a surprise that 
there are about as many Indians in 
the United States today as there 
were when Columbus discovered 
America . . . In the 20th Century, 
their numbers have been steadily and 
rapidly increasing. Between 1930 and 
1960 the American Indian population 
excluding Alaska—rose from 332,397 
to 508,665, an increase of approxi-
mately, 50%, roughly the same as 
the increase of the nation as a 
whole." Chicago Sun-Times, June 11, 
1961. 
Secretary of the Interior Stewart 
L. Udall, said of the Indian people 
in our land, "Our Indian reservations, 
our Indian people, are an un-
developed area." ACNS Press Release, 
May, 1961. 
The Indian population of Canada 
has also been on the increase ac-
cording to the following news dis-
patch: 
"Canada's Indian population at the 
time of the first European settlements 
was about 200,000. After a 300-year 
decline the population began climb-
ing in the 1900's and is now about 
190,000." OTTOWA (Canada) News 
6 
Dispatch in Washington Evening 
Star, November 22, 1962. 
Combining the Indian populations 
of the U.S. and Canada makes a 
grand total of approximately 700,000. 
Who are the Indians? How shall 
they be considered? As one race or 
group? Dr. Sol Tax, Chicago Uni-
versity department of anthropology, 
stated in a talk to some 700 Indian 
representatives of 80 tribal groups, 
that: 
"Few people of the world pro-
portionate to their numbers, present 
so bewildering a variety of aspects. 
There are city Indians and country 
Indians, hills Indians and plains In-
dians, forest Indians, coastal Indians. 
There are Indians in government, in 
the professions, in industry, in agri-
culture. There are Indian medical 
doctors and Indian medicine men. 
There are Indians who look, live, 
belive, and speak like white men, as 
well as those both on and off the 
reservations who look and live like 
indians. . . . 
"Nobody is 'just an Indian.' He 
is, first of all, a Tuscarora, or an 
Apache, or a Menomini, or a Klamath, 
or a member of some other tribe with 
its particular history and traditions." 
The gospel of the kingdom is to 
go to all nations, kindreds, tongues, 
and people. Christ loves human 
beings as people. He does not rate 
them according to race, colour, lan-
guage, or environment. It is our 
business to bring-the gospel of Christ 
to these Indian tribes of North 
America. 
"All are one in Christ. Birth, 
station, nationality, or colour cannot 
elevate or degrade men. The charac-
ter makes the man. If a red man 
(American Indian), a Chinese, or an 
African gives his heart to God, in 
obedience and faith, Jesus loves him 
none the less for his colour. He 
calls him His well-beloved brother."

of Jesus reached down into her heart

asked for work on the new mission 
hospital building. He had trudged 
through four miles of snow and ice 
early in the morning to get to a 
Bible study, before commencing 
work. He, too, was won to Christ 
and baptised. At graduation from one 
of our boarding academies he was 
given honours and a scholarship to 
one of our colleges where he is now 
studying to be a medical missionary. 
Was he worth it? 
Another Indian youth gave his 
heart to Christ while working on 
construction at a mission. He left his 
hogan and heathen parents behind, 
and asked for admission to our Indian 
boarding school. After months of 
preparation he joined the church and 
is now preparing to be a Seventh-
day Adventist minister to his people. 
Was he worth it? 
Tom was the son of a very big 
and influential medicine man. He 
was also a drunkard and a wife

With the Departmen 
We wish to share with you some 
thrilling experiences related by Carib-
bean Union literature evangelists at 
recent institutes. 
Recently a backsliding Seventh-
day Adventist, who is a graduate of 
our college, and his Catholic wife 
were both baptised. The book Your 
Bible and You convinced her of the 
truth of our message. Another form-
er Seventh-day Adventist bought 
$100-worth of books, got Sabbath 
privileges from his employer, was 
rebaptised, and now is a church 
elder. 
One lady asked our colporteur, 
"Where is your companion? I have 
prepared tea for both of you." Yes, 
one was an angel; the other, God's 
literature messenger. Today this 
lady is baptised and is working to 
win four of her friends whom she 
influenced to join her former church. 
Another colporteur reported, "I 
asked the Lord for a soul in Duncan 
Street. He answered my prayer." A 
Young man bought one of his 
message-filled books and is now a 
baptised church member. 
"I passed a mean dog," reported 
another colporteur. "The astonished 
woman exclaimed, 'But I saw two of 
you coming.' The other was God's 
angel. She is now a church member." 
Seven others were won in a home 
where a colporteur sold his book and 
gave studies. They are all baptised 
members of the church. 
Yes, God's protective hand is al-
ways over His children. Another 
reported, "I saw a hand on the shelf 
reaching for a knife." An enemy was 
about to strike at our colporteur, but 
he quickly grabbed the hand and 
saved himself. Later this messenger 
of faith returned to that home and 
sold several books to that family. 
The trigger was pulled and ticked 
three times while it was pointed at 
our sister colporteur. Nothing hap-
pened, and the would-be slayer was 
amazed. God saved the colporteur's 
life. 
These are only a few of the many 
stirring stories we are experiencing 
in our field today. The message of 
Revelation 18:1 has begun to be 
heralded loudly. "And in a large 
degree through our publishing 
houses is to be accomplished the 
work of that other angel who comes 
down from heaven with great pow-
er, and who lightens the earth with 
his glory." --Testimonies, vol. 7, p.

CENTRAL AMERICA . . . 
(Continued from page 5) 
L. A. Rocha has the laymen so 
well organised in his district that for 
two consecutive years over 100 new 
believers have been baptised. Besides 
achieving a good baptismal record 
in 1963, Elder Rocha also devoted 
considerable time to erecting a large 
new church in Chiquimula. Prospects 
for 1964 are most encouraging. 
British Honduras has made a re-
markable recovery from the losses 
suffered in hurricane Hattie. Under 
the diligent, consecrated efforts of 
Frank Skoretz and his team, three 
new churches were dedicated during 
1963, and several other buildings are 
now under construction. They bap-
tised 161 souls last year, surpassing 
any previous achievement. 
God also blessed our literature 
evangelists, under the leadership of 
L. A. Ramirez. They showed an in-
crease of almost 20 per cent in sales 
and deliveries during 1963. 
The Ingathering programme, under 
the direction of D. C. Prenier, showed 
almost ten percent increase over the 
previous year. 
A union-wide workers' meeting 
was held at the close of 1963. After 
briefly reviewing what the Lord had 
done for us, we consecrated our lives 
and all to the great unfinished task. 
Ambitious goals were accepted. Con-
fident that God has even greater 
blessings to bestow upon His work 
and people during 1964, we press 
forward to help finish God's work. 
No Greater Joy 
Hijinio Leon, his wife, and baby are 
of the Pacific Mission of Mexico. He 
was the CHAMPION COLPORTEUR OF 
THE MEXICAN UNION during '63. She 
also is a colporteur. This is one of the 
two couples who after their double 
wedding worked together as a soul-
winning team of four. Soon they or-
ganised a Sabbath school and won 
several souls to Christ. 
Brother Leon thought when he ac-
cepted Christ as his Saviour and was 
baptised that his joy was complete. 
Later when he became a colporteur 
even greater happiness flooded his 
heart. Then he met the very fine young 
lady who became his wife and col-
porteur companion, and he was posi-
tive that his wedding day brought him 
maximum joy. But when he won souls 
to Christ he reported, "This brings 
genuine happiness that no other ex-
perience can equal." 
Brother Leon suffered a serious car 
accident in February, which proves 
Satan wants to cripple effective workers 
for Christ, especially the champions.

Medical Students Operate Clinica Granja 
Four years ago Seventh-day Adventist medical students attending the Universidad 
Autonoma de Guadalajara Medical School in Guadalajara, Mexico, opened a clinic to serve 
those in need. During this short time approximately 10,000 consultations have been made. 
The operation of the clinic has been self-sustaining from a fee of $ .65 US, charged to pay the 
rent of the buildings and the help in auxiliary services. Those who do not have funds are 
treated free. If there are funds in the treasury and a patient is in need of surgery or other 
special medical treatment net available at the clinic, this service is obtained. 
Picture above is Charles E. von Pohle, treasurer of the clinic group; C. L. Powers, 
president of the Inter-American Division; and Robert L. Wood, chairman of the clinic 
group, standing in front of the presently rented facilities of this clinic known as Clinica Granja. 
Below are pictured C. L. Powers, Robert L. Wood, Charles E. von Pohie, and Clyde 
0. Franz, treasurer of the Inter-American Division, standing on the recently purchased 
land intended for permanent clinic facilities and eventually for a hospital in Ciudad 
Granja, Mexico.

Antillian College News 
1963-64 Statistics 
In the proportion of five to four, 
284 students have matriculated in the 
college and academy sections of An-
tillian College, an eleven percent 
increase over last year. Sixteen new 
students entered classes at the begin-
ning of the second semester. 
New Road and Bridge 
The municipality has built a new 
road and a concrete bridge from the 
main highway leading into Mayaguez 
to the campus of AntiUlan College. 
Recent Visitors 
Among the recent visitors to An-
tillian College were Dr. Fernando 
Chaij, of the Pacific Press; Dr. 
Benner, ex-chancellor of the Univer-
sity of Puerto Rico; and R. F. 
Cottrell, associate editor of the 
Review and Herald. The faculty and 
student body are grateful for the 
inspiration imparted by these men of 
experience. 
Series of Public Meetings 
During the month of February the 
ministerial students of Antillian Col-
lege conducted a spearhead effort in 
the neighbouring town of La Isabela. 
The organiser and speaker was B. L. 
Roberts, head of the ministerial 
department. On Sabbath, March 14, 
twenty-two new members were added 
to the church by baptism, the first-
fruits of this effort. 
Ingathering Field Day 
On the annual Ingathering field 
day, 17 carloads of students and 
faculty members raised $1708, an 
average of $85 a car and $17 a 
person. This is a new record for 
Antillian College. 
Spiritual Emphasis Week 
Fred Hernandez, home missionary 
secretary of the Antillian Union, was 
the speaker for the annual Spiritual 
Emphasis Week, February 1-8, 1964. 
Some 200 persons attended services 
twice a day, and a baptismal class of 
some 12 students was organised. 
Many victories were gained, and all 
felt they had experienced a fresh 
8 
outpouring of the Holy Spirit. On 
Sabbath afternoon, February 8, three 
new believers followed their Lord in 
baptism. This was followed by a 
beautiful communion service, the 
first for many students.

who h a s 
built our lives in 
Christ Jesus, and who keeps us in 
the way of salvation, blessing. the 
work to which we dedicate ourselves 
each day. 
An old adage says: "In the most 
humble shell is hidden the best pearl." 
So in humble souls, often of little 
value in the eyes of the world, are 
found God's most precious jewels. 
In 1943 I became acquainted with 
Valerio Mora during a series of meet-
ings that I held in the department 
of Tolima, in Colombia. Although he 
believed in spiritualism, even holding 
seances in his home, Valerio left 
those erroneous teachings and ac- 
cepted the Advent message. With 
his wife and several children he fol-
lowed his Saviour in baptism. A 
church was organized in his home, 
where meetings were held for sev- 
eral years. Then violence and relig-
ious persecution made Brother Mora 
his family, and numerous believers 
he had won to the Saviour abandon 
their farms in the San Juan region 
to save their lives. 
Brother Mora tells that he organ-
ized a caravan of no less than 500 
Adventists who fled to other parts 
of the country because of the vio-
lence. He moved from Tolima and 
finally settled in Valle del Cauca. 
Again he began to work for the lost. 
Today he is known as a builder, and 
truly he builds for eternity. He 
builds edifices dedicated to pro-
claiming the Saviour's love for lost 
humanity. 
Acting on the suggestion of the 
laymen in the Central church, Valerio 
Mora and his two sons have built an 
attractive church building in the 
Alfonso Lopez section of Cali, Colom-
bia. Because there was little money, 
Brother Mora and his sons worked 
untiringly. Other members worked 
with them on Sundays, and after six 
months of arduous labour the at-
tractive little church pictured above 
is almost ready for the 25 Adventist

Prisoners Study VOP Lesson 
What person would be proud to 
say, "Every week I go to jail"? But 
this is exactly what happens to several 
Bella Vista Hospital workers. 
For nine years a few persevering 
missionaries have visited the Maya-
guez, Puerto Rico, jail. The atten-
dance at the simple services has 
fluctuated somewhat, but w h en 
Daniel Chavez. the hospital chaplain, 
introduced the Voice of Prophecy 
lessons, the attendance started grow-
ing. An average of 30 now gather 
each week, and 25 of them are study-
ing the lessons. 
Recently the first Voice of Prophecy 
graduation was held with 11 prison-
ers receiving certificates. A film on 
the effects of alcohol was shown, and 
gifts of books were rewarded the 
graduates. Because the graduation 
was celebrated in a festive manner 
during the holidays, many prisoners 
who do not attend the regular Sab-
bath services were present. Fifteen 
new students enrolled in the course 
at that time. 
Spiritual counseling and follow-
up work is not easy. Many prisoners 
are released after short terms and 
return home to remote areas. One 
such person lives up a steep foot 
path which requires nearly an hour 
of hard hiking to reach him. Each 
week a group of stouthearted work-
ers climb that trail to his home to 
take more VOP lessons and to hold 
a branch Sabbath school. We are 
praying that soon we can report a 
baptism as the result of this follow-
up work.

North Haiti Dedicates 
New Gros Morne Church 
In 1962, an earthquake left the 
Cros Morne church in North Haiti in 
ruins. Since then the more than 300 
church members have been without 
a meeting place. Therefore it was 
with great joy that on Sabbath, 
March 1, the doors of a new and 
better chUrch were opened. 
The public was invited to the 
first service on Friday evening, at 
which time R. J. Kloosterhuis, sec-
retary-treasurer of the Franco-Haitian 
Union, presented the message. On 
this occasion leading civil authorities 
and many other visitors were in at-
tendance. 
Sabbath morning a special dedica-
tion and consecration service was 
conducted. More than 800 people 
were able to find places inside this 
spacious new church, while at least 
another hundred had to remain out-
side., 
All afternoon special services were 
held for the members and visitors, 
at which time the mission president, 
Antony Henry; the lay activities 
secretary, Marcel Perpignan; the 
pastor of the Cape Haitian church, 
Abdonel Abel; and others presented 
inspiring messages. Again at night a 
meeting was held for the public. 
The mission treasurer, Frederic 
Emmanuel, drew the plans, and a 
local Adventist brother, Richardson 
Rousseau, was in charge of the con-
struction. In this area the number of 
church members is already high, but 
with this new church/home and the 
living testimony of our faithful 
members, we expect an even larger 
harvest of souls.

Vallieres 
At the beginning of 1963 the 
North Haiti Mission opened work in 
Vallieres, a town that had never 
heard the gospel message, and at the 
end of the year there were 55 new 
believers, in addition to many re-
claimed church members from neigh-
bouring aieas. Eighty Sabbath school 
members gather to worship each 
Sabbath. Of these 20 hive been 
baptised. Situated high in the moun-

tains Vallieres seemed to be the most 
neglected spot on our island. With 
low moral, educational, and religious 
standards, this field is truly an ex-
periment in soul saving. 
One experience will reveal God's 
guidance. In November, 1963, a 
lady exhausted from fatigue, pleaded, 
"Pastor, please come to help me. My 
child is dying." 
When we arrived at her home, we 
found that neighbours were already 
gathering for the wake. An evil spirit 
was struggling to snuff out the life 
of the unfortunate child. The pre-
vious year this same family had 
buried three children in less than 
two months, all victims of super-
natural attacks. This time the entire 
family decided to give themselves to 
the Saviour, even if the child should 
die, 
I swept the hut clean of all tokens 
of spirit worship, and then I prayed. 
 
God healed little Elisma. As a result 
of this miracle Elisma's parents and 
six other families, totaling 33 people, 
made their decision to follow the 
Saviour. 
My wife started a little school 
offering free education to 25 students, 
of which four were non-Adventists. 
Despite persistent attacks by the 
local priest and his workers, the Lord 
granted us a piece of land large 
enough for a chapel and a school. 
Now we pray that the Lord will send 
us the money to build.

Leadership Course Offered 
at Caribbean College 
A leadership course for publish-
ing secretaries was conducted at 
Caribbean Union College, January 
27-29. Publishing secretaries and 
their assistants from-the three English-
speaking fields attended, along with 
the ministerial and business students 
of the college. 
Instructors for the course included 
D. A. McAdams, of the General Con-
ference; Benjamin Riffel, of the 
Pacific Press; J. C. Culpepper, of the 
Inter-American Division; G. W. 
Brown, J. G. Fulfer, and W. W. 
Weithers, of the Caribbean Union; 
and G. R. Thompson, of the Carib-
bean Union College. 
Not only were instructions, given 
in salesmanship and related depart-
ment areas, but there were also 
lectures in sermon preparation, public 
speaking, and letter writing. 
This course should be the means 
of strengthening the literature min-
istry throughout the whole union.

South Caribbean Reports 
At a recent South Caribbean Con-
ference workers' meeting a number 
of stories were told, illustrating how 
the power of God is working in the 
hearts of men and women in these 
last days. 
On the island of Grenada, one man 
who had had no contact with Seventh-
day Adventists, had a dream which 
directed him to attend our meetings. 
As a result, he accepted the message 
and is now a baptised church member. 
At the latest count, the St. George, 
Grenada, church was sponsoring 67 
branch Sabbath schools. 
A few months ago a brother at-
tended the branch Sabbath school 
rally held in St. Vincent and, after 
returning home, started a branch 
Sabbath school. It now has a mem-
bership of 40. 
Another brother in St. Vincent said 
to some relatives, "Why don't you 
give your hearts to God and keep 
His commandments?" That question 
stirred their consciences. Today the 
whole family is in the church. Later 
our brother asked the same question 
of the owner of a rumshop. That 
man has also accepted the truth. 
In Trinidad, the small church at 
Erin has 36 branch Sabbath schools. 
Arima has 10, and in one of them 
three persons have already followed 
their Lord in baptism. 
These thrilling reports cheer our 
hearts. Surely the Lord will soon 
finish His work.

where some 40,000 inhabitants await 
the good news of salvation. Plans are

IS GOD PARTICULAR? . . . 
(Continued from page 3) 
To show us that human rational-
isation can be dangerous, God has 
recorded the story of Uzzah. He 
reached up and touched the ark when 
it was about to fall from the oxcart. 
No doubt he reasoned that certainly 
under such circumstances it would be 
all right to steady the ark with his 
hand. God had given specific in-
structions that the ark was not to 
be touched by human hands. We can 
see from the death of Uzzah that 
God makes no exceptions. Human 
rationalisation does not nullify God's 
specific orders. (1 Chronicles 13.) 
We can go even farther back in 
history and find that Adam's first son, 
Cain, felt that God was not really 
particular. He obeyed up to a point, 
then followed his own way. 
Cain and Abel and their sacrifices 
show us the two classes in the world 
—those who unhesitatingly worship 
God in the way He tells them to, 
believing every word, and those who 
only partially do what God says in 
His Holy Word, substituting what 
they think is right and appropriate for 
what God says. 
I am strongly convinced that God 
is particular that we obey the prin-
ciples of health that He has given 
us. What are your convictions?

Humberto Lopez Flores, a lay-
man in El Salvador takes advantage 
of every opportunity to witness to 
God's abundant blessings in his life 
in return for his faithfulness in re-
turning to God an honest tithe. Since 
he became an SDA, he has desired to 
give this truth to the men with whom 
he works in the Institute of Rural 
Colonization, where he is appreciated 
for his faithfulness to duty, his dili-
gence and good sportsmanship. 
Brother Lopez tells that for some 
time his companions made fun of him 
for paying tithe, but recently his pay-
master asked, "Do you think 'that I 
could pay tithe, Humberto? Would 
I, too, receive great blessings? Or do 
I have to be a church memberr 
This gave our lay brother the op-
portunity he had so desired to explain 
Bible truths. He hopes that soon his 
superior will start proving God :by 
paying a tithe on his income.

L. V. McMillan Ordained 
Leslie V. McMillan, son of Mr. and 
Mrs. D. A. McMillan of the Grant's 
Town SDA church, Nassau, was 
ordained to the gospel ministry on 
Sabbath, January 12. He is a product 
of Seventh-day Adventist education, 
having obtained his Senior Cambridge 
certificate at the Bahamas Academy 
on Wulff Road, after which he at-
tended West Indies College in 
Mandeville, Jamaica, where he com-
pleted the theological course, obtain-
ing his B.Th. degree in 1960. Since 
he entered the work, he and his wife, 
We alth i a Hall-McMillan, have 
worked successfully on various islands 
—Grand Bahama, Abaco, and, most 
recently, the island of Eleuthera. He 
has given full proof of his call to the 
gospel ministry. 
At the conclusion of the ordination 
sermon, preached by D. H. Baasch, 
secretary of the Inter-American Di-
vision, Pastor McMillan was invited 
to join the group of ordained minis-
ters by the secretary-treasurer of the 
Bahamas Mission, W. W. Nairn. The 
ordination prayer was given by M. 
G. Nembhard, secretary of the West 
Indies Union, who also presented him 
with his ordination certificate. W. U.

dent, gave the ordination charge, and 
E. 11.2 Schneider, president Of the

believers were won by the lay 
workers in L. A. Rocha's district. 
Twelve hundred people witnessed 
this baptism, which made a tremen-
dous impression for the truth. Elder 
Rocha held another baptism on Sab-
bath, March 28, giving his district 
150 souls won during the first quarter 
of 1964. The Guatemala Mission 
reports more than 200 baptisms 
during that time.

beater. Everyone was afraid of him. 
Somehow our Heavenly Father called 
him, and he responded to the call. 
After prolonged study and much 
prayer he saw the simple beauty of 
the Third Angel's message and was 
baptised. He was employed by the 
church as a missionary helper and 
is now a licensed missionary working 
as a translator for a Bible worker 
and minister. Many of his own peo-
ple for whom he has laboured, have 
become Christians. His life is a 
powerful witness for 'Christ as he 
brings the goSpel to his fellow red 
men. Was he worth it? 
Was the sacrifice you made to give 
to missions worthwhile? For the first 
time in our history as a church the 
call has come 'tdo help the Indian 
people of North America, a people 
whose souls are valuable in the sight

your gifts .of food, and clothing, but 
most ,of: all because of the missionaries 
whom you sent with healing in their 
hands, ,and the good news of sal-
Yation on their lips. Are, they worth 
it?- �
