Canadian Union MESSENGER Volume XLI, No. 10 � Oshawa, Ontario May 15, 1972 June 10 — Inner Cities Offering Day . . . Canada's First Inner City Project By C. KLAM, Secretary-treasurer, Canadian Union Conference Every day we are bombarded with the bad news of crime and depravity in the inner cities—thus we are prone to forget that an abundance of good news, though overshadowed by the bad—is also coming from the cities. News of what religious, social, and civic groups are accomplishing for good in the ghettos; news of what the inner city dwellers are doing themselves in order to change the environment, is often over- looked. I am particularly happy to in- form you of what the Seventh-day Ad- ventist Church is planning to do to make good news possible from the inner city. Our approach is a demonstration of practical Christianity in action. The city of Toronto has been chosen for Canada's first inner city project. The churches there are combining to support and man the operation. Funds are needed to help the work get started so this first year the appeal is for an extra special offering on June 10. As you contribute to this offering, may I remind you of the words of our Saviour, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me." Matthew 25:40. Second Quarter 13th Sabbath Overflow Offering on June 24 Will Help Build Multi-purpose Complex for Yellowknife By THEDA ILES KUESTER, PR Department, Canadian Union Conference The attention of the whole world is focusing on Yellowknife, Northwest Territories for this second quarter as it becomes one of the recipients of the world-wide overflow offering! Yellowknife is a name that has been cropping up with in- creasing frequency during the past few months in various of our denominational papers. It became the capital of the Northwest Territories in 1967, sparking a great building boom, along with an influx of government families. It now has a population of 7,000. The Northwest Territories covers 1,300,000 square miles, stretching 2,000 miles from east to west along northern Canada, and is larger than half of the continental United States. Elder A. W. Kaytor, president of the Alberta Conference, first made contact in 1968 with the Yellowknife mayor and other officials, eyeing the possibility of opening up a work there. He met with a most favourable response. In 1969 Dr. Steven Tarangle, an Adventist doctor in Edmon- ton, the capital of Alberta, received an urgent phone call from the director of the Northern Health Services concerning the shortage of medical help in Yellowknife. Dr. Tarangle flew up, was impressed that a great challenge lay there, and has since constructed a medical clinic in Yellowknife, manned by him, Dr. Wendell Wettstein, and two nurses. "We meet a great many government personnel here," says Dr. Tarangle. "Being a smaller town, the Adventist clinic is very prominent. Our clinic has been requested to care for the dependants of the military and government personnel here; thus, our Adventist work in this city can carry its influence all the way to Ottawa, Ontario, capital of the Dominion of Canada." In 1969 Henry Bartsch was assigned to Yellowknife, the first Adventist pastor in the Northwest Territories. Sabbath services have now outgrown the Bartsch home and are held in the clinic basement. With the help of three student missionaries, a student colpor- teur, as well as two school teachers and a lady from central Alberta who donated their time, two Vacation Bible Schools were held during the summer, besides a short one at an Indian village about 50 miles away. A total of 242 children attended, with but seven of them Adventist children. Through the media of MISSION SPOTLIGHT, many Sab- bath school members throughout North America will be seeing the beginning of our work in Yellowknife, with the clinic and phases of Adventist activities being shown in this picture pro- gram. Yellowknife is situated on the shore of great Slave Lake, the fifth largest lake on the North American continent. The little nucleus of Adventists in Yellowknife have already saved approximately $3,000 toward this complex, which is but a drop of what will be needed, but with the assistance from this quarter's overflow offering a big step can be taken toward having a place where worship, meetings, classes, and a school can be operated. So far there have been three baptisms in Yellowknife. Evan- gelistic meetings are currently being held (March), with 60 people in attendance, the majority of whom are non-Adventists, and with a baptism of six to ten people in prospect. Among those attending are three Indian families who are coming regularly. Because of the inaccessibility of lumber, and the permafrost which necessitates buildings being heated ten and eleven months of the year, construction and maintenance are expensive in Yellowknife. So rather than aim for several buildings, it is felt better that a multi-purpose complex be constructed, housing the church, an evangelistic and youth education center, a school, a reading room and lending library, a welfare center, and living quarters. Space would also be available for Vacation Bible Schools, Five-day Plans to Stop Smoking (of which three have already been held), classes in nutrition, pre and postnatal care, and well-baby clinics. "We have something really thrilling planned," exclaimed Herbert Larsen, Lay Activities secretary of the Alberta Con- ference, and an aviator himself. "And that is a fly-in!" He went on to explain, "The Maranatha Flight International is an organi- zation of Adventist businessmen who are pilots. These men have fly-ins, when they use their vacation time to fly to some desig- nated place on a missionary project. "Negotiations are under way for a fly-in to Yellowknife in June of 1973, after the Sabbath School overflow offering has been received. We are expecting 15 to 20 planes, carrying 40 to 50 individuals, among them skilled labourers and artisans from all over North America — carpenters, electricians, plumbers, etc. "We will have the foundation of the complex in before they come, with supplies on hand, and plans and permits all finalized. With their donated help the funds from the overflow offering can be made to go much further, and real progress can be made in the actual construction of this multi-media complex in Yellowknife." The members there join hands with the many thousands of faithful Sabbath School members around the world in forward- ing the great work of God. And as they receive this aid through the overflow offering, it will be with gratefulness, and the pledge that each dollar will be used in the most effective way possible to build and strengthen the newly-opened work in Yellowknife. Mike Dunn, student missionary to Yellowknife from Walla Walla College, makes friends with two Indian young men. Through this friendship Mike can open the way to spiritual conversation and activities. The Adventist Medical Clinic in Yellowknife is owned and operated by Dr. Steven Tarangle, assisted by Dr. Wendell Wettstein and two nurses.

MIESSERIEW 150 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER MISSION Canadian United Evangelism Every Minister — Every Member 12 By GEORGE E. KNOWLES, Ministerial Secretary Canadian Union Conference Names Turned in From Friends in Edmonton Very Helpful in "Reach Out For Life" There A total of 242 children, only seven of them Ad- ventist children, attended the three Vacation Bible Schools held in Yellowknife in the sum- mer. This little Indian girl is really concentrat- ing on her craft. More than one hundred names of per- sons living in Edmonton were submitted by friends and loved ones to receive an invitation to the "Reach Out for Life" meetings. These were friends and rela- tives of Seventh-day Adventists. They represent the best prospects for our mes- sage. More than fifty have already been baptized in Edmonton, including some who would not have known the meetings were going on had it not been that some- one cared enough to write a letter. If you are a pastor or local church elder, be sure your church has a per- manent interest file so that these names will not be lost. They should be regarded as a sacred trust and should be on a mailing list to receive notices of all special church activities. If you have loved ones living anywhere in North America who have manifested any interest at all in our faith, please send the name, address, and information immediately to: EVANGELISM 1148 King St. East Oshawa, Ontario Maritime — Mission '72 Meetings in the Annapolis District DAVID FRIESEN, District Pastor Along with most of our ministering Gibson from the General Conference brethren in the Maritimes, we of the Statistical Department who came to help Annapolis District helu Mission '72 meet- with the meetings. ings beginning Sabbath, March 4.

The youthful dis- ciples are Ronald Hathaway, Brian Everett (front), and Jeffrey Clark, Aden Everett (rear). After faithfully attending a series of "Mission '72" meetings held by Pastor John A. Lyons the aforementioned youths responded to the Master's call. In this event we are reminded that the experience of the fishermen beside the sea is still relative. The now generation can still recognize a mysterious appeal in the Master's two-word sentence: "Follow me". J. A. LYONS, Pastor Carlingford Church 1971 Finest Year for Maritime Publishing Work By ALBERT GRABO, Publishing Secretary, Maritime Conference Early in April, Robert Juriansz, Mana- ger of Home Health Education Service, and David Gay, Manager of the Canadian Branch of the Pacific Publishing Associa- tion, joined with the Literature Evan- gelists of the Maritime Conference. Con- sideration was given to the fine report which was revealed for the year 1971. This proved to be the finest year for the publishing work in the Maritime Con- ference. Several awards were made to the Liter- ature Evangelists for their efforts in dif- ferent areas of success. The total delivery figure of $110,831.00 was a new high for the Maritimes and Newfoundland. From these results we can all sing, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." The record for 1971 was tremendous and now we have the opportunity to look for- ward to greater things in 1972. With Brother Grabo is Brother Wayne Bullock whose sales were second highest for the year 1971. was $14,834.10. Pictured is Brother Harold Aikens with the Publishing Secretary, Albert Grabo.

Ontario and Quebec — French Evangelism in Quebec Ten souls are preparing for baptism following the evangelistic campaign held in the Montreal French-speaking Church, by Elder Pierre Lanares, Religious Lib- erty Secretary of the newly-formed Euro- Africa Division. More than one hundred and fifty non- Adventist people attended the meetings and many expressed their desire to learn more about the Third Angel's Message. D. REBSOMEN, PR Secretary St. Leonard S.D.A. Church * Baptisms in Scarborough The Scarborough Seventh-day Adven- tist Church was happy to welcome eight new members through baptism on Sab- bath, April 1, 1972. Three of these new members are children of present mem- bers and it was a most rewarding exper- ience to all in attendance to witness these youth take their stand for Christ. They were Leola Boyce, Howard Bailey and Allan Forde. Equally thrilling was to see a father, R. Weir, and two of his children, Jackie and Michael, being raised from the watery grave to a new life together in Jesus Christ. In addition, Miss H. Linton and Mrs. Elsie Cain were baptized and have joined God's remnant people. MRS. NANCY DANAHER PR Secretary Scarborough S.D.A.

Seton Euro - Africa Division Religious Liberty Secretary Spends Six Weeks in the City of Montreal By D. REBSOMEN, PR Secretary, St. Leonard SDA Church Young people today are taking up the flag of love and are waving it high above the winds of strife and anger. In Montreal the winds of March's blizzards did not intimidate a young-at-heart bearer of the love of Christ. Pastor P. Lanares, Secretary for Re- ligious Liberty, of the Euro-Africa Divi- sion, spent six weeks in Montreal. The former director of the Voice of Hope in Paris was able to draw a vivid scene of hope and love for the many Roman Catholics who came to receive his mes- sage. Pastor Lanares is well known to French-speaking Adventists around the world. As director of the Seminaire Ad- ventiste de Collonges sous Saleve for six years as well as other schools, Pastor Lanares has a wide background of exper- ience in the field of education. His doc- torate in law from the University of Geneva has made him an authority on religious liberty. He is currently the editor of the new Conscience and Liberty Review which is the official organ of the Association Internationale pour la Liberte Religieuse in Europe. Quebec, known over the years as the Catholic fortress of North America, is now waking up to the realities of the 20th Century. A conveniently located hall in the French-speaking section of the city welcomed over one hundred and fifty non-Adventists. In spite of blizzard con- ditions and frequent snow falls many were present night after night. The first series of meetings were on the theme of "The Secrets of Love". Elder Lanares was able to lift the sights of his listeners from the common day erotic approach on love to the real source of love and the triumph of God's love. These first meetings paved the way for the "Reach Out For Life" subjects which were presented in French under the title "Les Secrets de la Vie." These were well received by a faithful group of listeners who did not hesitate to follow our speaker to the Adventist Chapel. While in Montreal Elder Lanares was able to speak and answer questions con- cerning his philosophy of life to a wide audience of radio and television enthu- siasts. He was given three and one-half hours of free radio time on two of the most powerful stations of Montreal. Five television programs of twenty-four min- utes each were recorded and then trans- mitted all over the province. The last two of these programs were entirely devoted to the Christian hope and the subject of personal salvation in Jesus Christ. During the peak hour of television viewing Elder Lanares was able to present to the Montreal audience his very timely book, "The Secrets of Love", which has been well received in Quebec. The news reporter from "La Presse", the largest French daily in North America, wrote, "It is a book which should be in every family library . . . in the sea of mediocre productions, which pretend to treat of sexology, this work seems to be a haven of peace, balance, and beauty, where one must linger awhile." Today ten persons are preparing for baptism. Many, many more are studying the Gift Bible Course and the newly pub- lished "Amazing Facts" in French. The work is going forward and through the combined efforts of the evangelist and his associates, a family of four is wor- shipping faithfully each Sabbath with our 154 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Walter Starks was the guest speaker for Mission '72 meetings for Perth Avenue and West Toronto churches.

Toronto Reaches Out for Life By RUBY CARRINGTON, PR Secretary, West Toronto SDA Church The password among Seventh-day Ad- ventists being "Mission '72", West Tor- onto and Perth Avenue Churches joined the half million Adventists in the United States and Canada in the gigantic "Reach Out For Life" campaign. Pastors Walter Starks and M. T. Battle, of the General Conference, gave valuable leadership throughout the series, March 5 to April 2, and with Pastors E. J. Parchment and E. R. Bacchus, elicited rapturous atten- tion. Meetings were held six nights each week. Both churches united for Sabbath services on March 18, 25, and April 1, at the Brockton High School with an aver- age attendance of 800 each Sabbath. From the saint imbued with celestial thoughts to the forlorn stranger devoid of hope—they came, they listened, they were blessed. Forty-six new members were added to both churches by baptism as a result of the meetings, giving a total of 61 baptized for the year. Baptisms are planned for April 29 and May 20. Kingsway College Alumni Homecoming Weekend of April 21-23 By MRS. CLARA V. WHITE, Secretary, Kingsway College Alumni Association The weekend of April 21-23, 1972, was Alumni Homecoming at Kingsway College. Approximately 75 graduates attended the weekend activities. The Alumni Association was in charge of the weekend religious and social ac- tivities. Friday vespers was directed by William Easterbrook '60, current presi- Vol,. 41, No. 10, MAY 15, 1972 dent of the college. Andrew Mustard was the speaker. The Sabbath School superintendent was Gordon Gay '64, with the mission appeal by S. E. White '39. The lesson study was conducted by P. W. Manuel '30. The speaker for the divine worship was William Easterbrook. The social highlight came Sunday af- ternoon with a lovely banquet in the Kingsway College Auditorium. The pro- gram was directed by David Lawson, president of the Alumni Association. The excitement rose higher and higher as Reuben Brown read his poem introduc- ing the Alumnus of the Year. He gave 155 many clues and then the name at the end, Miss Ada Knister. She has helped many people during the years she has lived in this community. Dave Lawson presented her with a little award. May God continue to bless Miss Knister. The Alumni Association has chosen to provide pews for the worship room in the new dormitory. Dave Lawson presented W. Easterbrook with a cheque for $4,000.00 towards this project, and also a cheque for $1,000.00 from the Ontario Conference. This was the result of a matching promise of $1.00 for every $4.00 raised by the Alumni. The new officers are as follows: David Gay, president; Maureen Blabey, vice- president; Pharolyn Von Gunten, secre- tary; Seigrid Janot, treasurer.

CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Medical - professional Study Program The Cassidy family Wally Lyder For the second year the Medical-Pro- fessional Fellowship and study program was held in Saskatoon. Dr. Ralph Waddell of the General Conference Health De- partment and Dr. Hervey Gimbel of Calgary of the Canadian Union Confer- ence Department of Health were the guest speakers. Dr. Waddell, in reporting to the church and to the representatives, spoke of the challenge of medical work and its purposes as he sees and under- stands it after some thirty years as a During mid February, the Union Min- isterial Secretary, Elder George Knowles and his wife arrived in Brandon, ready for the "Reach Out For Life" Crusade to begin on February 18. Our first eleven meetings were held in the Prince Edward Motor Hotel Banquet Room, after which we transferred to the church, and even though a city-wide Revival Crusade in the churches had begun one week ahead of our meetings, the Lord blessed with a good attendance and at the end a fine group of new church members. Add to this many very good interests who are presently receiving visits and studies from Pastors Hossack and Godsoe and we have much for which to be thankful. A number of interested people are now attending our Sabbath services each week. Because of this and the children of those baptized, we now have a good sized earli- teen class whereas we didn't have such a class before and our Kindergarten and medical missionary in the Far East. Another highlight was the panel discus- sion Sabbath afternoon, chaired by Dr. Gimbel with participants Dr. H. Kinman, Dr. R. Jones, Miss R. McEachern, and Dr. Bernard Lall, discussing the topic, "The S.D.A. Professional in the Com- munity and Church." At a Saturday night luncheon Dr. Waddell again addressed the group consisting of doctors, dentists, nursing home administrators and depart- mental heads, as well as conference officials. Crusade Primary classes have tripled in number. Our Brandon members are of good courage and certainly appreciate the hard work and dedicated services of Elder and Mrs. Knowles. Please remember us in your prayers that these fine meetings will only be the beginning of a consistent strong soul-winning program. Following in pictorial form are some of the new members and brief human interest story on each. Mrs. Eileen Cassidy and her daughter Faye and son Jeffrey. Mrs. Cassidy's parents were Seventh-day Adventists and she has sisters who are Adventists. She has been a student of the Voice of Proph- ecy Bible School. I just felt for certain that she would be a part of God's people the first time I met her and when she came to the meetings she soon decided she would. At first I brought her and her children to the meetings and then Brother and Sister John D. Ramsay brought her. Everyone's help is needed to win souls. She has a fine husband and we hope and pray that he too will soon decide for Christ. Wally Lyder, the son of one of our members, was the first to be baptized. Wally is very active in the church and loves to read the books in the M.V. Li- brary. He was also an active participant in literature distribution prior to the meetings. Mr. and Mrs. Maw came to the meetings as a result of a handbill left at their door. They had also received Signs of The Times for a year sent to them by one of our members, Mrs. 0. Tod. Mrs. Chenkaluk has been studying the Bible and listening to the Voice of Hope pro- gram in the Ukrainian language for many years. Mrs. Nolan, one of our members, also visited and studied with her. Peter Fortney now joins his mother in the church. Peter has taken many of the Voice of Prophecy Bible Correspondence lessons. God gave him victory over to- bacco and alcohol before baptism.

Pastor Hossack and I took turns bringing them the twenty miles to the meetings each night and now this happy family is active in the church. The father is a fine man and attended the meetings along with his family, and is presently receiving further studies. He took his family home each evening but due to work commitments in Brandon was un- able to bring them to the meetings. Pastor Hossak, Mr. and Mrs. Maw, Mrs. Chenkaluk, Peter Fortney and Pastor Godsoe. It may seem at times that some of us are more closely connected with soul win- ning than others but one thing comes through clear to us more and more and that is that it takes a personal effort and involvement on the part of every person in the church to lead a soul to Jesus Christ. The pastor's or evangelist's success is very limited unless our members enroll people in the Bible courses, send Signs of the Times and our good literature, and most of all study and visit with friends and neighbours in their homes thus be- coming their friend and becoming ac- quainted with their needs. Then we not only come to the meetings but bring some- one with us and with united efforts and fervent prayer souls will be borne anew into the kingdom of God. Western Canada Nursing Homes Convention Held in Saskatoon The first nursing home convention was convened in Saskatoon on the weekend of March 11, bringing together for the first time the administrators and depart- mental heads of the four nursing homes in Western Canada. Park Manor of Win- nipeg, Swift Current Nursing Home, Sunnyside Nursing Home of Saskatoon, and Sherwood Park of Edmonton were all represented at this meeting. Sunday was the day for workshops when the various departmental heads were able to meet in their workshop sessions with opportunity for a summation period at the end of the day. Special speakers to the session were Dr. Ralph Waddell, Secretary of Health for the General Conference from Wash- ington, D.C., and Dr. Hervey Gimbel of Calgary, Health Secretary for the Cana- dian Union Conference. The committee passed a resolution asking that a profes- sional organization be established to serve the needs of nursing home growth and development for Adventist operation in Western Canada. Health and Nutrition Classes In Winnipeg The Winnipeg English Seventh-day Adventist Church sponsored three days of Nutrition classes recently. Mrs. Jean Kennedy, Health and Welfare Society Leader and wife of Pastor William Ken- nedy, co-ordinated the activities. The main emphasis of the classes was on vegetarian entrees, vitamin, mineral, pro- tein, carbohydrate and fat content of foods. Invitations were extended to the citizens of the community via the press and posters, and several attended. The average attendance was forty. Lecturers and demonstrators were Mrs. Jean Kennedy, Mrs. Ivy James, Mrs. Joyce McKay, Mrs. Annette Stanwick, and Mrs. Linda Zaversnuke.

Alberta — Lethbridge Mission '72 Evangelism Left to right: Mrs. Margaret Hustad, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur J. Plewes and son, Darcy, Carrie Strand, Joan Schultz and Phillip Hubbard. Saturday night of February 19, 1972 marked the opening meeting of an evan- gelistic series conducted in Lethbridge by the conference evangelist, Elder Monty Jones and family, and assisted by the conference president, Elder A. W. Kaytor and the writer. The literature preparation of the city was under the direction of Brother Helmuth Rudolph, and slightly over 30% of the membership was actively involved in this program. A beautiful spirit of unity and co-operation prevailed throughout. The nightly messages were presented clear and to the point. The music by the Jones family touched the hearts of the hearers. When the call to Cheerfulness means a contented spirit; a pure heart, a kind and loving disposition; it means humility and charity, a generous apprecia- tion of others, and a modest opinion of self. Thackeray Vol.. 41, No. 10, MAY 15, 1972 159 surrender was made four adults and two juniors took their stand for Christ, and several more have manifested a definite interest to be in a later baptism. The average attendance was sixty, of which seventeen were non-SDA. Our people supported the meetings by their faithful attendance, and giving an average offering each night of $20.00. Ten thou- sand handbills were distributed through the mail and from house to house; also further advertisement of newspaper ads and radio spots. At the time of this writing, Sunday- night follow-up meetings will be in prog- ress. The prayers of our people for those who will attend, and for the new mem- bers already added to the church, will be greatly appreciated. For all of the bless- ings thus far we praise God, and to Him we give all the glory. CARL C. WESSMAN, Pastor Lethbridge District Mission '72 Received with Much Ethusiasm In Yellowknife, NWT HENRY BARTSCH, Pastor Northwest Territories Eight persons were baptized in Yellowknife on April 1. This was the climax of the "Reach Out For Life" series. They were Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Madsen and their son Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Auger, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Valiant and Darwyn Bartsch. "Reach Out For Life" was a real breakthrough for Yellow- knife. Never before had our evangelism been received with such enthusiasm. One person said that the whole town should close their evening entertainments for these meetings. The Nazarene Church cancelled their Friday night program and came to the "Reach Out For Life" service. The attendance was very good. The highest was about sixty-five, and through the week it dropped down to about forty. Several real victories were won, such as over smoking and other habits, and one person who had been drinking for years almost constantly, started to come to the meetings, and from that night on has not had a drink.

Adventists Use United Church For Evangelistic Meetings rEPHErsr, D CHURCH Capacity crowds pack into the St. Stephen's United Church night after night for the South Edmonton "Reach Out For Life" evangelistic meetings. Evangelist is Elder George Knowles, Ministerial Secretary of the Canadian Union. Elder and Mrs. Monty Jones are assisting with the music and Elder Peter Uniat, church pastor, is co-ordinating the program. This is a very unique series of meetings in that they are being held in the lovely new St. Stephen's United Church. The bro- chures advertise Adventist meetings being held in the United Church and everyone is welcome. The newly-formed Edmonton Church has been renting this church since organizing in the South. Relationship between the two church congregations has been congenial. So much so that a church sign has been placed on the outside advertising the Adventist Church. During Elder Knowle's "Reach Out For Life" meetings he plans on a baptism every Friday night. Since the church does not have a baptistry a portable baptistry was built and placed right in front of the lectern. This baptism tank is left in place during the Sunday services. What a sermon to these United Church members on the proper mode of baptism. Five people were baptized the second Friday night meeting of the series. Elder Knowles spoke on the subject of baptism that evening and ended his service with an altar call. Twenty- five people responded and came forward for this first call. The baptism was conducted during the altar call making the service very beautiful and challenging.

Two-hundred thirty friends and rela- tives paid honour recently to Mr. and Mrs. William McLeod of Armstrong, B.C., on the occasion of their golden anniversary. Gold and white streamers decorated the Armstrong Centenial Hall for the event, and tables were covered with white tablecloths centered with golden candles and white and yellow potted chrysanthe- mums. The table at which the honourees were seated was centered with a large bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums sprinkled with gold glitter. The three-tiered anniversary cake had been decorated by Mrs. Mc- Leod. A varied program was presented under the co-ordination of Master of Cere- monies Sam Graham of Silver Creek. Lorrie and Crystal Runka, neighbours of the McLeods, sang a duet with gui- tar accompaniment entitled "Anniversary Special," composed for the occasion by their mother, Mrs. Della Runka. Other musical selections were pre- sented by Robert Schafer and Marvin Johnstone, Della Walper and Candy Beckholt, Mrs. Fred Wittemann, accom- panied by Mrs. William Kerr on the piano, and Sam Graham with his own guitar accompaniment. William Graham, dressed as he remem- bered Mr. McLeod more than fifty years ago, wearing his "Sunday Best" remi- nisced about some of the happy and amusing events of those early days. A gold and white lamp was presented to the honoured couple by the Grandview and Vernon Adventist Churches. Mr. McLeod was born in Nova Scotia and his wife in Manitoba. The two young people met at the Alex Carswell place in Armstrong shortly after their families moved to British Columbia. They were married in 1922 at Mr. McLeod's home on Otter Lake Road. From 1925 to 1936 they farmed in Alberta, then returned to British Colum- bia. Mr. and Mrs. McLeod had three child- ren, Kenneth in Oshawa, Horace (Scotty) in Kamloops, and Mrs. Muriel Fairchild in Walla Walla, Washington. The hon- oured couple have eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Four gener- ations were represented at the anniversary celebration. Other relatives present included three grandsons and their families, Mr. and Mrs. Norman McLeod of College Heights, Alberta; Mr. and Mrs. Donnie McLeod of Lillooet, B.C.; and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar McLeod of Kitwanga, B.C. A granddaughter, Audrey Wasaluk, of To- ronto also was present. Local relatives attending the celebration were Mrs. Mc- Leod's brother, Ivan Johnstone, and two sisters, Mrs. Edith Hornichek and Mrs. Belva McNaughton. Rev. Allen McLeod from the Evangeli- cal Church in Quesnel, B.C., home on furlough from missionary service in Af- rica, said grace before the meal. He is a cousin and is compiling a family tree.

In Kamloops, the successful crusade of Elder Knowles was just completed, and many wondered how Mission '72 would prosper. Could the church mem- bers keep up their sustained efforts and support of the meetings in spite of the long distances most of them had to travel? Would new interests be aroused and more baptisms be forthcoming? We were happy the answers to these questions were all "Yes." The faithful co-operation of so many resulted in bless- ings felt by all in the Kamloops Church. Both the adult and the children's meetings were well attended and enjoyed. Five new members were added to the church, and they are now enjoying the fellowship of our good members in the Kamloops area. TODD C.

Rick, Secretary to the New Westminster Board of Education Night Schools. The Five - day Plan Opens Doors In British Columbia DR. GRAHAM H. McMORLAND The Five-day Plan to Stop Smoking has, over the years, come to fill a unique place in the Seventh-day Adventist out- reach program. However, because it is based on a sound psycho-physiological approach to the problem of tobacco ad- diction, many other organizations have, from time to time, been happy to support us in the presentation of this program. We, in turn, have been equally glad to associate with them, as this gives to us the opportunity of sharing in their com- munity service programs. More important than this, however, is the fact that the leaders of many of these organizations and service clubs are frequently men and women of considerable influence in the community, and our association with them in the presentation of the "Five-day Plan" gives us opportunity to present to them the principles of our Message. As they come to know us personally and be- come aware of our concern for the well- being of our neighbours, they will be led to enquire into our beliefs and principles. Only our God knows what fruit this in- fluence will bear in the future. Recently, a wave of interest in the "Five-day Plan" has spread through the school boards of many areas of the lower mainland of British Columbia. This has resulted in spontaneous invitations from these various school boards for us to associate with them in their Fall and Winter Night School programs. We have been glad to take advantage of this opportunity, and have been able to pre- sent our program in schools in Van- couver, North Vancouver, New West- minster, Richmond, Delta, and Port Coquitlam. In some of these districts we have been invited to return for a second program, and in one case (New West- minster) we have been back for a third time. In at least one district we have been unable to take advantage of the invitation to make a return visit, because of the lack of time and personnel. The director of the North Vancouver night school program was sufficiently impressed by the "Five-day Plan" that he drew it to the attention of an officer of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This resulted in an invitation to Pastor Allan Robertson and Dr. Graham Mc- Morland to appear as guests on a well- known television "talk show," at which time the "Five-day Plan" was featured. As these invitations come to us, with- out any urging on our part, we, in British Columbia, are convinced that the Holy Spirit is actively at work, opening up channels whereby we may reach the hearts and minds of men and women, and help them prepare for their eternal destiny. We feel strongly that programs, such as the "Five-day Plan," did not come about by accident, but have been inspired by the Holy Spirit, and given to us as a means of reaching out to the com- munity, as well as an aid to us in helping men and women to discard their un- healthy habits in preparation to meet their Saviour. May God grant, as we enter into these community service programs, that we never lose sight of our great commitment to bring the gospel of salvation to all those coming into our sphere of influence.

We wish him success as he goes ahead in preparation for service for humanity. By Popular Demand Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A.—In keeping with the U.S. Library of Congress stan- dards, all talking magazines were changed on January 1, 1972, to 8-1/3 rpm speed. This very slow speed gave blind readers in the United States no problem as all government issued talking book machines are manufactured with 8-1/3 rpm speed. However, because of the international distribution of talking magazines pro- duced by the Christian Record Braille Foundation a giant problem soon was evident. Blind readers outside the United States cannot play records at 8-1/3 rpm and were denied their precious source of inspirational reading matter. Effective immediately, all Christian Record talking magazines will revert to the old 16-2/3 rpm speed primarily for overseas readers. American blind people who use their own private phonographs, which do not have the slower speed, will also benefit. Blind people in 88 countries are today being served with truth-filled publications produced by this Seventh-day Adventist institution dedicated to serving the sight handicapped. All braille and talking books and magazines are in En3lish only. Vol_ 41, No. 10, MAY 15, 1972 � 163 — — Book Reviews — — Some ancient sage once declared, "Study the past if you would divine the future." History may strike you as being a bit dull at times, but dust off your attitude and see what the great church writers of the past have to offer us today. Two new additions to Southern Pub- lishing Associatioh's HERITAGE LI- BRARY are a good place to start. Christ and His Righteousness, by E. J. Wag- goner, is an outcome of the famous 1888 General Conference and the discussions there regarding the doctrine of justifica- tion by faith. Waggoner's work may be discredited by some because of his later separation from the church, but Ellen G. White had this to say about Waggoner and his associate, A. T. Jones: "It is quite possible that Elder Jones or Waggoner may be overthrown by the temptations of the enemy; but if they should be, this would not prove that they had no message from God." Another historically significant volume is Bible Adventism, by Elder James White. White began preaching the Advent message when he was only 22 years old, and during the first winter of his ministry, more than one thousand people accepted this message. Bible Adventism is a col- lection of some of his most dynamic sermons, and he himself describes them as the "very core of Adventist belief." As a change of pace from history, try a new paperback that's very "now". It's entitled Green Ink, and the author, Donna June Taylor, is a recent graduate of Southern Missionary College. This story of college life is amusing and thought provoking at the same time. Woven between the lines is some pretty powerful stuff on Christian living that will hit home with contemporary people.

The great violinist, Yehudi Menuhin, once remarked, "To play great music you must keep your eyes on a distant star." Four dedicated Christian young men have their eyes on the Daystar, Christ Jesus and they have put their experience to music in the recently released Chapel record album "Rain." Keith Knoche, Jerry Dennis, Eddie McGhee, and Jeff Wood have combined their talents to create memorable con- temporary music. Each song, in its own way, expresses the Christian hope. One of the four, Keith, has written several of the selections—"Goin' Home," a song of expectancy and happiness; "Glory Bound," a shout of praise for the wonders of heaven; "Rain," a musical commentary on the lonely death of Jesus; and "Mary, Don't You Cry," a look into the heart of the mother of the Saviour. The selections are haunting and moving. Several of them are set to orchestration. The album appeals especially to today's youth—but it will refresh and appeal to all ages. It is the "good music" which in Sir Thomas Beecham's words is "that which penetrates the ear with facility and quits the memory with difficulty." The album "Rain" is a shower of blessing.

STORY OF TIBETAN BIBLE TOLD IN NEW BOOK Most of us would expect the story of a Bible translation to be dry as dust, and of interest to scholars only. But with the Tibetan Bible, all the reverse is true. Who would imagine a Bible translation set in motion by the assassination of a Dalai Lama within the walls of forbidden Lhasa? Who would expect the printing of a Bible to run up against such obstacles as a thunderstorm in the world's highest mountains, the unbelievable heat of the Indian plains, the bombs of Adolph Hitler, a war over Kashmir, and an aval- anche? What other Bible translation was so difficult that it required ninety years of heartbreak to complete? The story is told in the new book God Spoke Tibetan, by Allan Maberly. Frankly, it is a thriller. Maberly spent eight years as a medical missionary in the Himalayas, and writes after much re- search and personal knowledge of the events, the area, and the people. Eugene A. Nida, well-known secretary of the Translations Department of the American Bible Society, says: "God Spoke Tibetan is a fascinating account of one of the most dramatic stories in the history of Bible translation. Drawing upon his wide knowledge of Tibetan life and history, and employing various re- sources concerning the history of the translation of the Bible into Tibetan, Mr. Alan Maberly has produced an enjoyable and inspiring account of the almost in- credible hardships and difficulties which had to be surmounted if the people of (See next page) CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Book Reviews Tibet were to receive the Word of God in their own language. Essentially, this is a story of how consecrated men were will- ing to risk their lives and to dedicate all their strength to accomplish what the Spirit of God had placed within their hearts; namely, the communication of the Word of God to those millions of people who had lived so long in spiritual isola- tion." God Spoke Tibetan, illustrated with 16 pages of gorgeous colour plates, is now at your friendly Adventist Book Center.

She kept her destination in mind con- stantly while growing up on the Canadian prairies, training to be a nurse in Portland and .Glendale, and while looking for a husband—a man who wanted to be a missionary as she did. She found him and together they worked in British Guiana among the Davis Indians.

What happens after the high point of accepting Christ as Saviour? Mrs. White discusses revivals of her day and looks forward to those she knew would be taking place at later times. You will find the answers here to some of the questions you may have had about cur- rent revivals: "How can we explain the power attending popular revival move- ments in which no attempt is made to honour God's law?" "Are healing mir- acles that accent some of the revivals of our time real?" "Does being sincere make it right?" "Are tongues and ecstasy for real?"

THE LOMA LINDA I KNOW by Robb Hicks As special representative for Loma Linda University and as associate head elder of the University Church, I am asked to tell our people about the Loma Linda I know. The vast majority of the Loma Linda community is made up of dedicated, hard- working, spiritually-discerning, "old-fash- ioned" Seventh-day Adventists who be- lieve with all their hearts that Jesus is coming soon. These Christians include students, teachers, workers, laymen, fathers and mothers — comprising one of the most talented collections of specialists to be found in any church-owned univer- sity. And because of their love for this Truth and their Master, they prefer to devote their lives to His great cause here. Doing what? Well, here are a few sta- tistics: This University has graduated 4,215 physicians from the School of Medicine; 1,014 have graduated from the School of Dentistry, 2,941 from the School of Nursing, 510 from the Grad- uate School, 215 from the School of Health, 1,590 from the School of Allied Health Professions, 242 from the School of Education, and 3,812 from the College of Arts and Sciences (La Sierra campus). Currently there are 504 research pro- grams in process, of which some 62 are being done in cancer, heart, and environ- ment alone. All of this research is equal to or superior to what is being done in any other center that I know of — and I am personally acquainted with what is being done in many other research centers. What about the spiritual condition of the students at Loma Linda University? It is my privilege to conduct worship on Friday evenings in the homes of faculty members, where fifty or more students with their wives and sweethearts meet to sing the old hymns, to praise God for His many blessings, and to pray to Him. There are many meetings like this held in Loma Linda each week. Many of our young men and women students are in- volved on a one-to-one basis with needy people in the Loma Linda area. It has been a real joy to work with and help ordain well over a hundred students as deacons and elders in the University Church during the past seven years alone, and to see dozens of these young men graduate and offer their services to the Church in all parts of the world. I tell you, my dear brothers and sisters, it is hard to find a spot around this world globe where the Christian influence of our graduates is not felt. This is God's University, and we praise Him for it. As a special representative for Loma Linda University, my job is mostly action — not writing. However, the message is this: The leaders in God's Church will lead that Church to a glorious conclusion in Jesus Christ; and His University at Loma Linda, with the same sincere and spiritual leadership, will continue till He comes. "But the name Signs of the Times means that in this paper a class of literature will be found that will give the trumpet a certain sound."

Early in life he moved to Kingston, Ontario, with his parents, and it was here he passed to his rest, October 18, 1971, at the age of 83 years. Brother Peters attended a campaign conducted by H. M. S. Richards in 1921 and in March of that year was baptized in a river in Kingston. He became a noted Sabbath School teacher after having taught himself to read by studying the Bible. He was an energetic and dedicated member of the Calvin Park Church in Kingston, until the time of his death. He is survived by his wife, Floy Dell, one son, Roscoe, four grandchildren and many, many friends. Our comfort lies in the assurance that Brother Peters loved his Saviour and longed for the day when he would meet Him face to face. Interment took place in Cataraqui Cemetery, Kingston, Ontario. MRS. J. RAMSAY, PR Secretary Kingston S.D.A. Church PETERS — Mrs. Floy Dell Peters was born in Harrowsmith, Ontario, August 5, 1885. Along with her husband, the late Sidney Peters, she was baptized into membership of the Kingston S.D.A. Church in 1921, following a series of meetings held by H. M. S. Richards. Mrs. Peters will long be remembered as an active member of the church, especially in the area of Dorcas Welfare work in which she so ably led out for over twenty years. She dedicated her talents to helping and clothing those in need both from her home and from the church. The past few years she has lived in the Rideaucrest Nursing Home and it was here that she passed to her rest early Friday, April 7, 1972. She now rests peacefully as she awaits the call of her Saviour. She leaves to mourn, her son, Roscoe, his wife, and four grandchildren and a host of friends. Interment took place in Cataraqui Cemetery, Kingston, Ontario. MRS. J. RAMSAY, PR Secretary Kingston S.D.A. Church BROWN — Frances Mae, nee Juriansz. It is with much sorrow that we report the sudden death by car accident of Mrs. Frances Mae Brown, which took place on the 24th of March, 1972. A car travelling in the opposite direction at high speed in the London area of Ontario, attempted to make a U-Turn in a prohibited area, was struck from the rear, which sent if pounding across the media into the line of the Brown's oncoming vehicle. Death came instan- taneously to Frances, while her husband, Chris suffered multiple injuries. Frances was one of our most loyal and faith- ful members in the Kingsview Village Church of Seventh-day Adventists. She was a bright, cheerful and intelligent young woman with a high sense of moral values, the only daughter of our beloved first elder, Frank Juriansz, and his wife, Joy. The church was filled to capacity the day of the funeral. Relatives from far and near were present to express their heartfelt sympathies to Chris Brown, to Frank and Joy, her parents, and to Brian and Jewel and Russell, members of the family of Frances. Chris, her husband, though unable to be present, listened to a record of the service, in which Elder D. J. Handysides said, there was no answer to the question, "Why such an accident occurred" but were we able to view life's short span of time from the vantage position of eternity — we would know that God's love had not changed and that we could rest in the assurance of God's purpose and plan for our lives." Most felt that once again we were made very conscious of the very thin line that separates each of us from death. The procession that made their way to the place of burial on the 27th of March was the largest ever experienced by the funeral director, and demonstrated in a very noticeable way the respect and love so many had for Frances. To the husband, Christopher Brown, and to Brother and Sister R. F. Juriansz, and to Brian, Jewel and Russell, we extend our sincerest sympathies, but we sorrow not as others which have no hope, but with confidence and assur- ance to look forward to the day that is soon to dawn when death shall be no more, when the call of the Lifegiver, will pierce through the shadows of the tomb bringing forth our loved ones again. Frances lies in the Westminster Cemetery, off Bathurst Avenue, north of Finch Avenue, Willowdale, Ontario. D. J. HANDYSIDES, Pastor Kingsview S.D.A. Church DULLEY — Mrs. Margaret Hilda Rhoda Dulley was born at Nottawasaga, Simcoe County, On- tario, November 25, 1892, and passed to her rest March 10, 1972, at Langley Memorial Hospital in her eightieth year. In her childhood she came with her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wallace, to Cranbrook, B.C., later mov- ing to Saskatchewan, from where she returned to live in Rutland, B.C., and while there op- erated a Rest Home. Sister Dulley was baptized into the Seventh- day Adventist Church by Elder Forshaw in 1917 and was a faithful member, and loving worker for the church until she entered hospital. She was a much-loved teacher in the Kinder- garten of the Sabbath School. She delighted in helping those she found in need and it was her joy to be generous in offering food, garments and shelter where help was required. For many years she had made and sold aprons for CKNW Orphans and Crippled Children's Fund as well as garments for the Dorcas work. Our sister was united in marriage to Robert Dulley, August 19, 1941, and they shared to- gether thirty happy years. They lived in Van- couver and Surrey areas and spent the last thirteen years in Langley and Fort Langley being much loved and helpful members of the Langley Church. Sister Dulley is survived by her husband Robert, two sons, and three daughters by her first marriage: John Fitzpatrick, St. Helena, California; Orville Fitzpatrick, Summerland, B.C.; Mrs. L. J. (Margaret) Taylor, Portland, Oregon; Mrs. S. (Lillian) Taylor, Bozeman, Montana; Mrs. A. (Laura) Ritchey, Rutland, B.C.; seventeen grandchildren; thirty great- grandchildren.

Name Address City � Prov. When God lights a fire, you don't sit down and warm your hands. God sends fire for inspiration. And action. He sends it to those who pass it on. So if you hover over it just for warmth, it soon dies out. Like any flame, you've got to give it room to breathe. Only then can it grow. So don't be content to warm your hands. God's got a bigger plan in mind. His fire can bring light to those lost in the dark. Warmth to those with a cold heart. And you'll never really know how bright God's fire can burn until you pass it on. Right now, you can probably think of at least four people who have never experienced in their lives the glow of God's fire. So how about letting yours burn out of control? SQUARE PEG?
