Governor Signs State Employee Bargaining Bill
California state employees other than public school teachers—highway patrol, corrections department and park system workers, for example—are now subject to a new collective bargaining law.
Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 839 this fall, thereby giving California state employees a new modified collective bargaining system. State employee unions will be able to negotiate with the governor’s office and sign an agreement called a “memorandum of understanding.”
Conscience exemption for employees who have religious objections to supporting unions became an important issue when this bill was suddenly amended to create a “fair share fee,” which Marty Morgenstern, employee relations representa-

Nine-month-old Kourtney Bowes, supported by his preacher father, Richard, is already continuing in the footsteps of his greatgrandfather, Jasper Wayne, who started the Ingathering emphasis as a layman in Iowa during the winter of 1904. The verse was written for Kourtney's uncle, Ron Bowes, 25 years ago by Lucietta Cochran, La Sierra.

tive for Governor Brown’s office, pointed out was equivalent to an “agency shop” provision.
Almost as suddenly as it had been added, the “fair share” provision was removed from the bill and a “maintenance of membership” provision took its place. Under this provision, no state employee will be required to join any union. However, those employees who do ioin

The many phone calls, telegrams and letters from concerned church members to their legislators were influential in helping us to persuade the author of this bill to insert a “statement of intent” in the Legislative Journals. The clarification reads that “It is the intent of SB 839 that this legislation shall not preclude any employee from voluntarily terminating membership in any employee organization” prior to the effective date of the memorandum between the state and the union which represents the employee.
This statement guarantees that any Adventist state employee who chooses not to sup-

Victims Receive Disaster Aid
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Victims of the flash flood in Toccoa, Georgia, where 38 persons are known dead, have received disaster aid from two units of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

cials distributing clothing anc other personal effects.
Don Bush, pastor of the Franklin, North Carolina, Adventist Church, left early Tuesday with the van of the Carolina Conference. His church is just across the Georgia-North Carolina border from Toccoa.
Bresee indicated that Adventists will donate an offering to help rebuild Toccoa Falls College, a non-denominational Bible college run by the Christian and Missionary Alliance. The college sustained most of the damage and fatalities from the flood.
The Adventist Church has no members in Toccoa.

Casavant Organ Dedicated at University Church
Dedication for the 127-rank, 7,036-pipe Casavant organ was celebrated November 5 in the University church in Loma Linda. The 2,600-seat sanctuary was twice filled during worship services to witness the occasion.
Radio KLLU-FM carried the sacred dedication into homes across the Inland Empire as the organ, the 70-voice choir, Loma Linda Brass Society and the sanctuary orchestra and congregation used their talents
Cost of the organ averages out to $50 per member.
Colton Community Center Opens
Azure Hills Community Services Director Norma Reul declared on Tuesday morning, October 25, that the new community center was ready to operate, as she cut the ribbon across the door at 22597-B Barton Road, Colton.
In announcing the opening, Azure Hills Associate Pastor Ernest Broder said, “This center is being set up to aid those

Pastor James Mershon offered the dedicatory prayer.
“Should Not This Have Been Given to the Poor?” was the theme explored by Senior Pastor Louis Venden. In his dedicatory meditation he considered the idea promoted by Judas in the house of Simon when Mary anointed Jesus. “These musical pipes can become an

Works by Handel, Bach, Franck and Britten were presented as David Banta played the Casavant and Philip Binkley directed.
“It has taken five years to complete this fine instrument at a cost of about $250,000. It is all paid for and is the largest Casavant on the West Coast and the largest organ in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. Now we have consecrated it for its sacred purpose,” Pastor Venden said.
“The most demanding organ compositions can now be realized with this instrument,” states Philip Binkley, church minister of music. “It is complete and can accommodate the requirements of any organ recitalist,” he observes.
When the cost is considered for this University Church organ, it averages out at a cost to each member at $10 a year for the past five years.
Pathfinder Fair Draws 7,600
Over 1,600 Pathfinders, staff personnel, friends and relatives witnessed Southeastern’s 1977 Pathfinder Fair at Del Mar Fairground on November 6. Elders Clark Smith from the General Conference, and Harry Garlick from the Pacific Union were platform guests. The Pine Springs Ranch Band under the direction of Elder Dennis Nutter provided music for the grand parade.
CHILDREN'S STORY TIME IN ARLINGTON—Each Sabbath children look forward to something special at the Arlington church service. Uncle Cal's (Pastor L. Calvin Osborn) stories are so popular that some of the children have been known to bring their parents just to hear the week's story, instead of the parents bringing the children. Adults enjoy the stories also for there is always a Christian moral to be received.
The Riverside Church School began the school year with many new faces and curriculum innovations. The school opened with 180 students enrolled in grades K through eight. An increase of 34 students over last year represents the largest enrollment since 1971.
There are also three new faces among the regular teach-staff this year.

Awards were presented for display booths, individual exhibits, floats and decorated bicycles. Afternoon events provided a test of skills in knot tying, drill and first aid. Trophies were awarded in recognition of clubs with outstanding year-round programs. A wide variety of club-operated food booths attracted interest during the lunch hour and provided food for hungry Pathfinders.
This year’s theme, “We Know Where We’re Going,” could be seen creatively illustrated throughout the Fair. A spirit of Christian warmth and cooperation pervaded the day’s activities, and it was clear that the junior youth are learning through Pathfindering that the Christian life can and should be enjoyable and exciting.

Kathy Goley, with a BA degree in elementary education, comes from Union College where she taught in the George P. Stone Experimental School. Mrs. Goley will be teaching a second and third grade combination class.
With a rich education background, Steve Shultz is teaching a fifth and sixth grade combination class. A graduate of Loma Linda University with a BA degree in elementary education, Mr. Shultz is also talented in photography and is working on the school annual.
Supplementing the regular teaching staff are four volunteer part-time teachers: Julie McCulley who teaches German language classes to grades one, two and three, seven and eight; Jocelyn Kelly who teaches home economics; Connie Der-kacz who teaches typing to the eighth grade; and Daisy Duffie who is teaching a class in “Home Care of the Sick.”

Homeland Effort Is Held by Ministerial Students
A group of eager Loma Linda University ministerial students, under the direction of Berwyn Shakespeare, completed an evangelistic effort at the Homeland church October 29. At this writing, three persons have been baptized and others are being followed up.
The effort was held in a newly-formed company, led by Pastor Percy Miles. Conference Ministerial Director John D. Rhodes acted behind the scenes to coach the students and to coordinate their activities. The young people provided all the music, made up their own handbills, and did the preaching. Their eagerness and sincerity made a lasting impression on those who faithfully attended.

School Welcomes New Teachers

"Steps," Members' Acceptance Lead to Baptisms
Seventh-grade students and teacher Roger Peden of Modesto Union Elementary School recently helped Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Andrews of Ceres harvest their walnuts.
One of the special projects of Mr. and Mrs. Andrews has been the financial support of the Church’s radio and television ministry through proceeds generated from the sale of walnuts grown on their small acreage.
However, when walnut harvest time came this year, the Andrews faced a difficult problem. Both had been seriously ill during the past year and were physically unable to gather the nuts. To hire workers to harvest the crop would mean fewer dollars for the church, so this idea seemed unacceptable to them and would be used only as a last resort.
They expressed their concern about the forthcoming harvest to some of their church friends, and soon Roger Peden, a teacher at Modesto Union Elementary School, became aware of their plight.
Mr. Peden perceived this situation as one in which vital lessons could be taught to his

The chance reading of Steps to Christ and loving acceptance by Sonora Church members of a barefoot young man and woman were the channels used by the Holy Spirit to lead them and the girl’s mother to the waters of baptism.
It all began when Mark Heuer, 19-year-old ex-beachcomber, picked up a copy of Steps to Christ on the curb of a highway on-ramp in Turlock where he was hitching a ride from Sonora to his former home in Thousand Oaks.
He said, “I almost didn’t pick it up—but I did. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. I was sure whoever wrote it knew what she was talking about.”
Mark returned shortly to Sonora where he’d been living with the Martinovich family, who had previously taken him in when he had no place to stay. After trying other churches, one day Mark, 15-year-old Aurora and her mother, Louise, slipped into the sanctuary by a side door. Both Mark and Aurora were barefoot and wearing jeans.

After he retired they moved to California to be near their only daughter, Velvah, the wife of Elder Clarence E. Smith.

Not only did the same people return night after night, but they brought their neighbors with them. One Adventist brought three of her friends regularly, and a young man stationed at Fort Ord also brought three of his non-Adventist buddies who have since continued to attend regular services with him. A special showing of the last film, “Blessed Assurance,” was arranged for them as they could not attend the closing meeting but did not want to miss one presentation.
A Baptist lady requested that the films be shown in her church so that her friends could also gain the blessing she had received.
The Bible principles of harmonious family living present in actual counseling sessions were most informative and were made especially enjoyable by Pastor Coon’s great sense of humor and tact.

Seventh-graders Visit Author Paul E. Quimby
After reading Yankee on the Yangtze, Redwood Junior Academy’s seventh grade class could hardly wait to go to nearby Angwin to meet the book’s author, Elder Paul Quimby.
Recently they did just that and were treated to a two-hour meeting with Elder and Mrs. Quimby.
The Quimbys were asked to go to China as missionaries several decades ago and after Chiang Kai-shek took over China’s government, he invited Elder Quimby to renovate and take charge of China’s educational system.
The Quimbys showed the students many items they brought back from China as well as relating many stories including Elder Quimby’s miraculous escape from Nanking during the revolution and Communist pursuit.
Field trips such as this are an added dimension available through Christian education.

Five semester hours of school credit may be earned for every 90 hours of employment per semester. The student thus receives the two-fold benefit of pay plus school credit. Currently 65 students are enrolled in General WEE.
Exploratory WEE, as the name implies, permits a student to explore different career options under the supervision of the WEEP coordinator as well as a job supervisor. Fifteen students are presently enrolled in exploratory WEEP.
Students may select from nine professional work stations and/or from 28 vocational work stations. A student spends nine five-hour weeks at the vocational work stations. Each student’s program is individually designed to meet his interests.
The vocational options in exploratory are quite varied. Included are poultry, creamery, calf-feeding, press, bindery, bookstore, hardware, food services (salads, cookery, bakery), dry cleaners, grounds, merchandising (cashier, stock, office work, natural foods and produce), radio broadcasting, laundry, carpentry and electrical.
The professional work stations include pastoral duties, college teaching, elementary school teaching, tutoring, library work, dental office, computer science, audiovisual and accounting.
While about 40 per cent of Prep students are presently enrolled in either phase of WEEP, it is believed that the program will build to include a higher per cent next year. Beginning with the 1978-79 freshman class, students will be required to earn 10 semester hours of credit in WEEP for graduation.

PUC Preparatory School is offering its students a broader opportunity in work experience education this year than ever before.
The Work Experience Education Program (WEEP), directed by Valerie Halliwell-Smith, is being offered as an elective. Designed to introduce students to the realities and problems of the working world, the program will provide them with opportunities to sample different career areas.
Students may elect either a general or exploratory phase.

Since his conversion to Christ Larson has authored eight books on Satanic involvement in contemporary events. Larson is an interdenominational minister dedicated to speak out for Christ against Satan.

Conference Committee
Carson City Church Construction Is Approved
Through the years Monument Valley has continued to be a place where Navajos congregate on a daily basis. Here many of their needs are supplied.
Often the question is asked, Just what is needed by way of clothing in an effort to help these original Americans? The following can always be used:
Baby clothes are always in demand, as well as children’s clothing. Men’s work clothes are very much needed. Levi’s for men and boys, winter coats and jackets are in the greatest demand.
Silver Springs
Vacation Bible School Leads to an Organized Church
Seed sowing in the Silver Springs area began several years ago when a Vacation Bible School was held in that community.
Following the VBS, Elder Floyd Smith, who at that time was pastor of the Carson City Church, went to that community each Sunday and presented Bible truths to the people there.
After Elder and Mrs. Smith left Carson City, Steve Hamilton and Elmer Wilson decided to make this their special mission field. Living close to Silver Springs, they had the advantage of knowing the community and knowing how to capitalize on the good work Elder Smith had begun.
Church services in Silver Springs were begun more than a year ago. People who had been lost to the Seventh-day Adventist Church for many years, or who would not drive to the Adventist church in Car-son City began to attend services in Silver Springs.
In addition to the regular members, a number of individuals presently are looking forward to baptism.
Request after request have been made for a church school. Land has been obtained for a church building and money is being raised for this important structure.
The request to become an organized church in the Nevada-Utah Conference was voted on by the Conference Committee. It is anticipated that shortly after the first of the year the organizational meeting will take place.
Not only has the group been interested in what they could
Blankets and quilts are always in demand also.
Monument Valley wishes to thank those who have continued to bring or send items which are distributed on a regular basis.
Betty Nickell, the wife of Elder Robert Nickell, is in charge of the distribution of clothing and other items to the Navajo Indians.
An earnest attempt is made to fill every request received, so keep the clothing coming; it will fill a real need for many people.

A number of other programs have been offered and will be presented to help the community realize that Adventists are there to serve.

structing a representative sanctuary.
Earlier this year a single plot was purchased for the church and school, an area slightly over six acres. In a plan looking forward at the fast-growing Carson City area, the main streets of the city will come right past where the new church building will be erected.
Elder and Mrs. H. E. Darby have recently come to Carson City, and because Elder Darby is an experienced builder as well as a very effective minister, he will be leading out in this program.
Seating capacity of the sanctuary will be 300, with adequate Sabbath school classrooms and other related church facilities.
Plans have been completed, the land is paid for, and a large portion of the other funds are on hand at the present time. We believe this will be another forward move in advancing the work in Carson City.
The group will be known as the Silver Springs Seventh-day Adventist Church. They are meeting in the community hall, where Highway 50 and Highway 95 intersect.
It is the prayer of all that this “lighthouse” may ever shine brighter as it fulfills its mission to that community.

PACIFIC UNION RECORDER/MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1977
On Sunday, November 20, the Nevada-Utah Conference Executive Committee voted approval of building plans as well as the financial program for the new church in Carson City.
This is the last state capital in the United States that has not had an Adventist church
building up to the present time.
The congregation has met for many years in an auditorium adjacent to the classrooms of the church school. Even though the church has been somewhat comfortable, obviously there has been a need to present the right image in this state by con-
Navajos Are Grateful for Donations
Globe-Superior Pastor Named
Much enthusiasm was generated at the Salt Lake City Fair because of the booth sponsored by the Ogden Church, representing the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Utah.
Their display was a scale model reproduction of the sanctuary. This was an appealing attraction to the Mormons because of their interest in the sanctuary and the priesthood.
The project was spearheaded
by Roger Erickson, member of the Ogden Church, who obtained the beautiful model for use from Southern California.
Sixteen members from the Ogden Church donated time to operate the booth. Six hundred pieces of literature concerning the sanctuary were passed out. Many interest cards requesting further literature were returned by observers.
The Ogden Church is now actively involved in making their own model of the sanctuary for evangelistic efforts and fair use.

Soul-winning
Radio, TV Generate Interests
“What would we do for soulwinning interests without those generated by our Church’s radio and TV ministries?”
These were words spoken by a pastor who has borne a fruitful ministry. By following up radio and telecast interest names, he has discovered that Church media programs provide excellent assistance in local soul-winning.
Faith for Today’s Bible School, under the direction of Virginia Fagal, offers 11 different Bible correspondence courses appealing to a variety of age groups and interests. A recent report indicates many contacts being made by the TV outreach with many solid interests developed as a result.
Mrs. Fagal reports the following for the first nine months of this year in North America: Applications, 77,153; enrollments, 15,007; lessons graded, 192,140; active students, 16,665;

they were taking was for the work of the church. They were pleasant in their approach and did not hit her hard with their church.
“We chatted further,” Ro-naele explains, “because I worked at one hospital and they worked at another up on the hill. I didn’t know, but Castle Memorial Hospital was run by their church. This was the first I had ever heard of their church and I attempted to quickly distinguish it from other doorknocking groups I knew of.
“This fresh approach was different and inviting.”

Unfortunately, an average of 65 per cent of the interests supplied by radio and television ministries are not followed up by the local churches. Faith for Today requests that individual members not only do their part but also encourage entire Church participation in this matter.
We are pleased that the opening Ingathering reports totaling $157,365.34 have already reached our office. God is with this work today just as He was when it started some 3,500 years ago. The Bible records in Exodus 12:35,36 that the people did as their leader requested, the Lord went before and provided favor in the sight of those being solicited and they received such as was required.
Our prayer is that we will respond this year as willingly as Israel did of old. When we do our part we know God will do His and we will receive all that is required for His work. May God bless.	Clinton Shankel
Two months later, during a time of personal trouble, Ro-naele remembered the name of the church and those visitors. She made a call to Pastor Gary Schwarz whose wife Pauline made homemade bread and invited her to their home when they provided both spiritual as well as material food. Other contacts were made with Kaneohe members Ron and Betty Spear who were also an influence on her.
Led by the Holy Spirit, Ro-naele was baptized into the Kailua Church in 1968. The following year she met Hank and they were married in 1970. The Whittington children attended the Kailua Mission School and later Hawaiian Mission Academy.
Today, Ronaele is Dr. Ro-naele Whittington, director of the department of human services at Castle Memorial Hos-oital.

Doctoral Students Are Ready to Do Research
Many doctoral students in Andrews University’s School of Graduate Studies are ready and eager to do research in areas that will benefit the Church, according to Richard W. Schwarz, vice president for Academic Administration.
In order to meet degree requirements, each doctoral student must write and successfully defend a dissertation or project report on a significant topic. Choosing the right topic sometimes takes months. An important consideration is the usefulness of the proposed research area.
The Adventist Church has many needs for research, both experimental and descriptive. These needs are in churches, conferences, schools, hospitals, and publishing houses. But the doctoral students are at Andrews and may not be aware of these specific needs.
Because of this, Andrews is now asking church leaders around the world to send in descrintions of research oroi-
ects that would benefit their particular area, or the entire Church. Projects should be related to education or pastoral concerns.
All questions concerning such projects and suggestions for research should be sent to Richard W. Schwarz, vice president for Academic Administration, Andrews University, Berrien Springs, MI 49104.
General News continued
Several students in the behavioral science department of Pacific Union College have discovered that good research does pay off, according to Adrian Zytkoskee, professor of psychology and department chairman.
Three students published articles based on their research in the June, 1977, edition of the Journal of the Association of Adventist Behavioral Scientists, edited by Vern Andress of Loma Linda University.
Murray Johnstone conducted an experiment testing the effects of motivating students by telling them that their performance would reflect back on their teacher’s ability to teach. Using 20 second-grade and 18 sixthgrade boys, Johnstone tested three hypotheses.
Flash cards were used, with words and numbers on each side, that the students were asked to remember. Johnstone discovered that students did do

To Answer Evolution Theory
Museum of Earth's Origin and Change Developed
Pacific Union College’s biology department has developed the Museum of Earth’s Origin and Change to present an alternate approach to evolution, according to Ervil Clark, department chairman.
“Order and design are seen as resulting from acts of a Master Designer instead of natural consequences based on change,” says Prof. Clark.
Consisting of 11 displays, the museum progresses from basic origins of the Universe and the solar system to the entrance of sin, its effect on the earth, and the resulting flood of Noah. The resulting flood layers are seen as burying the representative types in approximate levels of living.
Biology department personnel have collected specimens for the museum over the past 15 years. The museum took
better when they realized that their scores would affect their teacher.
Testing the theory of personal space—the area surrounding each person’s body into which others may not intrude—in male/female relationships was the subject of Merrilee Hadley’s research project. Using a Galvanic Skin Response, a tool used in biofeedback research, she tested 20 male and 20 female students randomly picked from introductory psychology courses.
The GSR equipment was to respond to anxiety caused by an intrusion in one’s personal space by male and female intruders. Ms. Hadley found that there was no different response when a male intruded a female’s personal space or vice versa.
Using 21 biology, history and psychology major Terri Foster studied the theory of field dependence/independence, the
nearly one year to set up, with Clark spending last summer completing the project while on sabbatical leave.
“We are planning to develop a mobile unit on the same plan as the campus museum that could be taken to schools, churches and other organizations to show the logical ex-
"Marys Song" Set for Holidays
“Mary’s Song,” the play account of Christ’s mother’s life from her early youth to the last recorded events of her life, will be presented by Company One, a religious drama troupe from the College, December 17-22.
The play will run nightly at 7:30 in Paulin Hall Auditorium.
According to Director Jim Pappas, the full-length play takes its name from the musical theme composed for the drama by Jeff Wood, an Angwin musical arranger.
The original musical score is combined with live acting and pantomime as well as rear-projected visuals photographed in the mountains surrounding the Napa Valley.
Last December the drama troupe presented the play at the Vintage Theatre in Yountville.
Tickets will sell for $3 at the door. Tickets are available in
ability to be aware of immediate surroundings. She found that history majors are more field dependent, or view things from the world around them. Whereas, psychology and biology students were more field independent, meaning they viewed their situations in an analytical way.
Layton Lui wrote an article entitled “Effects of Actor/Ob-server Role Reversal and Perceptual Set on Casual Attributions” in the journal. His article was based on a paper submitted to PUC Honors Committee.
Two other students, Beth Heron and John Donnelly, are working on articles to be sent to the Journal of Optometry and the Journal of the Association of Adventist Behavioral Scientists, respectively.
“We find it significant and praise-worthy that so many of our students are having their research published,” says Prof. Zytkoskee.

"The promise of the Spirit is not appreciated as it should be. Its fulfillment is not realized as it might be. It is the absence of the Spirit that makes the gospel ministry so powerless. Learning, talents, eloquence, every natural or acquired endowment, may be possessed; but without the presence of the Spirit of God, no heart will be touched, no sinner be won to Christ. On the other hand, if they are connected with Christ, if the gifts of the Spirit are theirs, the poorest and most ignorant of His disciples will have a power that will tell upon hearts. God makes them the channel for the outworking of the highest influence in the universe."

| (Continued from page 1) State Employee Bargaining Bill port a union can continue in his state employment providing he withdraws from union membership and financial support prior to the signing of a new contract. However, an employee who joins the union or continues membership in the union at the time the memorandum is signed can be forced to maintain membership till the end of the contract or be discharged.
Every Adventist state employee who belongs to California State Employees Association (CSEA), or any other employee organization, should carefully review his/her religious beliefs on the subject and take the necessary steps to resign membership if that study leads to a decision to avoid being forced to support the union in the future. Timing is vital.
State employees who wish to have information on labor unions may write to the Religious Liberty Department, Box 5005, Thousand Oaks, CA 91359, and request the Labor Union Packet. It will give them Biblical and Spirit of Prophecy reasons why unions are not compatible with the law of God and will provide instruction on how to withdraw from the union.
