FATHER AND SON spend many hours together in The Voice of Prophecy studio recording the Sunday broadcast, now aired on 625 stations in North America. H. M. S. Richards, a pioneer in the radio ministry, has been proclaiming God's Word on the air since 1930. Much of the recording and public speaking is now carried on by his son, H. M. S. Richards, Jr. (right), speaker-director of the broadcast.
Voice of Prophecy—Proclaiming God's Word
From 71 cities and towns in the Pacific Union, The Voice of Prophecy is proclaiming God’s Word on the radio.
This means that virtually every person living within the Pacific Union can tune into the broadcast.
But have you ever wondered how those 71 cities and towns— and the stations—are selected?
According to Daniel R. Guild, manager of The Voice of Prophecy, a number of factors must be weighed every time a decision is made about continuing, ending or beginning coverage on a particular station. Among them are cost of air time, kilo-
watt power of the station, size of the potential listening audience, available time slots, listener response, and church member support.
“We try to improve coverage with every decision,” Guild said, “but there is a limit to how far the dollars will stretch.”
The Voice of Prophecy staff feels it must first place the

broadcast within reach of everyone. This goal takes priority over all other considerations. As a result, time may be purchased on smaller stations to cover a portion of a state even though this is more expensive in terms of cost per listener than it would be to buy time on stronger stations in more heavily populated areas.

A listener in Nevada says the radio program “is just like being in a Bible study class.”
A Bible school graduate wrote that she had picked up the broadcast either by a coincidence or by an act of God on a Fresno station while driving home after a non-denomi-national Bible reading service.
H. M. S. Richards has been proclaiming God’s Word over the air in the Pacific Union since the 1920s when he first saw the potential of radio.

Delegates will be selected from the Adventist men in the local churches. Men who have a desire to dedicate themselves and their businesses to God and for His glory are the type of men who will be chosen.
One of the valuable results of this program is a close fellowship with each other as Christian brethren. The time spent, both in the seminar sessions as well as in mutual sharing and prayer, is invaluable.
Elder Don Christman, the new associate secretary in the General Conference Lay Activities Department and former president of Texico Conference, will be the guest speaker, with Union and local conference personnel attending.

The Adventist Men’s Organization Seminar will help develop such men and we are expecting an outstanding seminar at Cedar Falls in November.

The Las Vegas State Fair convened August 10-14, and again this year the West Oakey Street Church operated a booth arranged by Calvin and Lucille Harkey.
According to Mr. Harkey, this was the most interesting fair booth that he has arranged. The interest created resulted in many contacts. More than 1,000 books consisting of The Desire of Ages, The Great Controversy, Steps to Christ, Patriarchs and Prophets, and Ministry of Healing were distributed.
Also, 55 people signed up for our next Stop Smoking Clinic.

Rouses7 Garden Is a Witness to God's Power
When Grace and Phillip Rouse moved to Surprise Valley, little did they realize that the Lord would use them as witnesses to His miraculous power. Today their testimony is causing many people in the valley to think more seriously about God.
Shortly after moving to Cedarville, Phil and Grace planted a garden and dedicated it to the Lord. What they didn’t use would be sold for Investment. Although not a farmer, Phil planted a good-sized garden and worked it so it would give a rich yield.
One day their plans turned
Colfax VBS Draws 54 Local Children
Of the 54 children who attended the Colfax Vacation Bible School in August, only five came from Adventist homes. Each day the lessons covered one day of creation week. Parents and friends filled the church to its capacity at the closing program. Each family was presented with a copy of Steps to Christ by the leader, Mrs. Floyd Gray.
Included in Mrs. Gray’s staff of leaders and teachers were Susan Botts, Neil Fanning, Joan, Laurie, and Tammy Gray, Helene Heath, Joan Mathwig, Jeanette Murray, Lorita Slayton, Dena Smith, Ed, Greg, and Maureen Whalin, and Donna Zurfluh.
Elders Ivan Rood and Preston Smith gave generously of their time to make this VBS the most successful one the Colfax Church has sponsored. Florence Whalin, Comm. Secy. Colfax Church

to despair as aphides attacked the garden. The turnips, rutabagas, and beets were being ruined. The aphides were so thick that the beet leaves were white with aphides.
At the same time their neighbors had the same problem and turned to pesticides, which in turn ruined their gardens.
Phil and Grace decided to use a different kind of pesticide— prayer. That evening evening they turned in their Bible to Malachi 3:10, 11 and read, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will
rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.”
They knelt down, placed their finger on this passage, and prayed, claiming by faith this promise from the Lord.
They then waited for the Lord to fulfill His promise, and He did! Three days later there wasn't an aphis to be found in their garden! God had answered their prayer and “rebuked the devourer.”
Today their garden is abund-dant with food, while their neighbors’ gardens are dead or dying. The Rouse’s garden is a living witness to what God can and is willing to do when we have faith in Him.
Citrus Heights
Mrs. Vito Russo directed the Citrus Heights Vacation Bible School which attracted 80 children, 50 of whom were nonAdventists.
So great was the daily excitement that on one morning a young VBS enthusiast woke his mother at 3:30, hoping it was time to get ready.
Studies, stories, crafts, and the examination of a real parachute kept the children busy.
At the end of the two weeks, a graduation program was held during the Sabbath services. It was attended by 13 non-Ad-ventist families. During the program each child received his own completed crafts, workbooks, and a vegetarian cook-

Hospital Staff Talks about Conditioning Centers
You have just so many minutes to live. Thirty-three per cent of those minutes you are going to spend in bed; about 8 per cent at the dining table; 27 per cent are Sundays and holidays; 5 per cent, at least, are necessary for recreation; and that leaves only about 27 per cent for work.
If every minute were a seed, and you planted it in the ground, and you knew that next year you would have to live on the harvest that you would get, you wouldn't want to miss a single seed, would you?
Watch your minutes! Every one counts.
St. Helena Hospital and Health Center specialists in the field of residential conditioning center programs such as Stop Smoking, Weight Management, and Alcohol Recovery were requested to lead out in healthplanning groups across the country during September.
A four-man task force, comprised of Clarence Miller, president of St. Helena Hospital and Health Center; Alan Rice, director of the hospital’s Health Enhancement Programs; Herschel Lamp, MD, medical director of Health Enhancement Programs; and Health Center Chaplain Duane Grimstad spoke to health educators during “A Better Living Center Workshop” at Loma Linda University September 9-13.
Sponsored by the General Conference, the workshop was charged with establishing guidelines to insure smooth development and operation of future conditioning centers in other states.
“Reconditioning centers, such
at St. Helena’s, endeavor to establish a new lifestyle for the participant in an effort to maintain and improve health. There are presently some 32 of these centers in various stages of development across the country, with St. Helena Hospital and Health Center being the pioneer in the field,” says Hospital President Clarence Miller.
Miller and Rice delivered presentations on the administration and development of conditioning centers as well as concepts utilizing preventive medicine as a health-care tool. Dr. Lamp related the history of ambulatory residential health care in the country and
Chaplain Grimstad emphasized the total concept of health and preventive medicine as it relates to the spiritual life of the patient.
Alan Rice was also invited by the Eastern States Adventist Health Services Corporation to serve as a consultant on health center development for its five major east coast hospitals, on September 14-22.
After presenting St. Helena Hospital and Health Center’s approach to preventive medicine to the staff of each of the five host hospitals, he evaluated their current programs and offered recommendations for future development.

Academy Starts
San Diego Academy began the new school year Tuesday, September 6, with a record enrollment of 256 students. Principal Bill Pearson anticipates a better than average year for the Academy. “The faculty is pulling together in a new way this year. I’m excited about the future of our school,” he said.
A united faculty thrust toward teaching students the fundamental skills and discipline necessary for acquiring both Christian and scholastic knowledge and understanding may account for Pearson’s attitude on faculty unity. However, campus beautifying and remodeling projects may also provide part of the spark.
New lawn, shrubs, and attractive garden beds around the buildings add a quiet beauty to the busy Academy campus. A vacant lot, purchased at the same time the Academy bought property for the business education classes, is attracting attention from both students and teachers.

Many “mini-courses” are available in other areas of study. Some of these include macrame, consumer education, softball, business law, library science and tumbling. These classes are taught on Monday when students who have no laboratory periods may elect to take a mini-course.

Television’s “The Bishop” A. A. Leiske, popular moderator of the Interfaith American Religious Town Hall telecast, was the guest speaker of the Glendale Church on September 10. “Are We Blind Also?” was his topic.
An ordained elder of the Adventist Church, Leiske began his unique TV ministry 25 years ago. The telecast features a panel of ministers from six different denominations discussing their differences and agreements in theology using current social issues as a springboard.
Maryvale VBS Draws 62
Sixty-two children were enrolled in Vacation Bible School in the new educational building of the Maryvale Seventh-day Adventist congregation this summer. Maryvale is located in the southwest part of Phoenix.
“How did you teach them so much in one week?” asked a happy parent, herself a teacher. According to Sarah Coppinger, “prayers, planning and hard work” is the answer.

As Local Elder
An alumnus of Hawaiian Mission Academy and 1977 graduate of Pacific Union College, Lyle Arakaki was ordained a local elder at the Japanese Adventist Church during the 11 o’clock service on Sabbath, August 27.
Elder Harold Kono, pastor of the Japanese Church, read the charge in the presence of Mission treasurer Mun On Chang, Associate Pastor Richard Among, church elders and

Japanese Members Have Camp Meeting
One hundred eighty campers turned out for the 13th annual camp meeting sponsored by the Japanese Adventist Church at Camp Erdman during the Labor Day weekend.
Under the leadership of Elder Harold Kono and assistant pastor Lyle Arakaki, activities were well-coordinated and resulted in full participation by the members.
Morning and evening worships at the campfire circle were highlighted by different speakers presenting object lessons with Christ as the central theme.
Sabbath services proved a real delight with isolation from their usual environment, meeting quietness and solitude away from the city. Kaneohe Church pastor Elder Daniel Snider spoke during the 11 o’clock service, his timely sermon centering on the life of Namaan the Leper.
College youth home for the summer formed a choir and presented a musical selection
the congregation. Pastor Among gave the dedicatory prayer.
Lyle Arakaki is working as an associate with Elder Kono while back home in Honolulu. He is studying Japanese to be of greater service to a three-language congregation (English, Korean, Japanese) before returning to Andrews University to continue his education.

In addition to the special inspirational hours for the entire delegation, there will be “kindred” group meetings where student body presidents, religious activities leaders, social leaders, and temperance and health leaders may discuss programs of their emphases.
Accompanying the student delegates, according to Union Youth Director Paul DeBooy, will be academy principals and Bible teachers or other faculty sponsors as determined by the school. Working with Elder DeBooy in the planning are Associate Youth Director Harry Garlick, Secretary Betty Crayfourd, and local conference youth ministers.

Voice of Prophecy
Once reasonable coverage of an entire geographic area is achieved, the challenge is to build the listening audience by acquiring time on far-reaching stations or on big stations in major cities.
Guild believes that church leaders and laymen are just beginning to realize fully the role radio can play in reaching people during the final days of earth’s history.
“Coupled with personal witnessing—and not neglecting the power of television and the printed word—a strong radio ministry can work miracles by God’s power in preparing the way for Jesus to come,” Elder Guild says.
LLU Clinic Visits Juvenile Hall
Juvenile Hall in San Bernardino, California, is the current program location for the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry’s Mobile Clinic. This outreach clinic has been set up at the juvenile facility on a permanent basis for the coming school year, according to Harry Ridgley, DDS, chairman of the department of preventive and community dentistry.
The present program requires three dental students, each utilizing a separate operatory.
“Hopefully in the fall we will be able to add student dental hygienists who will offer oral hygiene instruction to the program,” Dr. Ridgley says.
Dental students currently involved in the schedule have expressed appreciation for having the opportunity to serve this target population. They say most of the residents of Juvenile Hall are very cooperative and make excellent patients. Approximately 10 per cent of them have never seen a dentist before and persist in rapid re-

READING THE MAIL is a great way to keep in touch with listeners, and Elder H. M. S. Richards, Jr., never runs out of mail to read. Nearly half a million letters arrive at The Voice of Prophecy each year. People write to ask for special prayer, to return a completed Bible lesson, to send a gift for the broadcast, to ask a question about the Bible or Christian living, to request printed materials — or just share a few encouraging words with the staff.
AS ELEANOR PRIEST studied the Bible through the first correspondence course offered by The Voice of Prophecy in the early 1940s, the Holy Spirit spoke to her heart and she asked for a visit by the local pastor. In 1944, her entire family joined the Adventist Church. Today, Eleanor and her husband, Warren Hewes, are on the staff of the Southern California Conference—he as publishing director, and she in the child evangelism department.
appointment so their dental work can be completed.
“Because Juvenile Hall has a rather transient group of residents, it is difficult for us to give them long-term care. Cost of the dental care is covered in various ways. Some families are on Medi-Cal, others on private insurance, and some elect to pay for the work themselves,” says Ridgley.
This is an excellent opportunity for Christian dentists to relate to delinquents who might otherwise never see a dentist.

City Parish Congregation Moves
The Riverside City Parish congregation moved to a new place of worship during Sabbath services October 1.
Sabbath school was held for the last time in the Ivy Chapel on Orange Street, then during the break between services the congregation walked the few blocks to their new worship home in the Unitarian church at 7th and Lemon streets.
The Ivy Chapel had been a temporary home for the congregation. Scheduled demolition required that a new church home be found, according to Gary M. Ross, chairman of the site selection committee.
The well-known Unitarian structure was recently declared a historical landmark. It offers expanded facilities to City Par-
of Law, and Willamette University College of Law will participate in the event.
Maschmeyer says the number of pre-law students at La Sierra increases each year. Last year seven students were admitted to various law schools, following graduation.
What Happens after Graduation?
What happens to La Sierra campus students after graduation? A five-year report by the dean of students’ office on the 1972-1976 classes shows that the majority of alumni go to work in denominational jobs or continue their education at Seventh-day Adventist schools.
The report compiled statistics on what students were doing one year after graduation. Of the 1,399 students accounted for, 882 were either working or studying within the denominational system. Seventy-six graduates were unaccounted for, 152 did not specify whether or not they were in an Advent-
mation” at Lynwood church beginning November 2 at 7 p.m.
The cost for these courses is $30/unit credit; $15/unit noncredit. Registration with payment can be made at the first or second class meeting.

ish, and allows the congregation to remain located in central Riverside, midway between the two University campuses.
Charles Teel, Jr. spoke for the first service at the new building. His talk opened a series of meditations on worship. During the month of October the theme of worship will be probed by looking at worship forms and functions in the Old and New Testaments.
Table talks following each presentation will give worshipers an opportunity to dialogue with speakers about the meditation of the day. The worship theme will be continued at the congregation’s fall retreat, and a task force on worship is also being formed by way of inviting evaluation of the congregation’s worship experience.
Niels-Erik Andreasen will speak on Old Testament worship forms on October 8, Cathy Testa will look at the early church concepts from the New Testament on October 15, on October 22, Paul Landa will address medieval and reformation forms. The series concludes with the annual Brea retreat October 28 and 29.

A total of 586 of the graduates were taking additional schooling, 400 in the Adventist school system. The next largest group was composed of teachers; of the 246 who held teaching positions, 148 were in Adventist schools. Of the 140 nurses, 90 were in Adventist institutions.
In the miscellaneous category, 27 graduates were homemakers, three were traveling, 12 were seeking work, and six were in the armed forces.

New Nursing Program Proposed
A "summers only” program leading to the master of science degree in nursing is planned at Loma Linda University beginning the summer of 1978 if there is sufficient interest.
“The purpose of such a program is to provide an opportunity for graduate study for nurses who cannot leave their positions for longer periods,” says L. Frances Pride, associate dean and director of the graduate program in nursing.
The proposed summer program will be the same as the regular four-quarter sequence and will not replace the present program, but will be an additional route for graduate study in nursing, according to Prof. Pride.
“A student will need to spend five summers to complete the program,” Prof. Pride says, “and a new ‘summers only’ class will begin on alternate summers.”
Prospective students must meet all pre-entrance requirements for graduate students as stated in the University bulle-
