INSPIRATION SkXS
"As His representatives among men, Christ does not choose angels who have never fallen, but human beings, men of like passions with those they seek to save. . . . There are souls perplexed with doubt, burdened with infirmities, weak in faith, and unable to grasp the Unseen; but a friend whom they can see, coming to them in Christ's stead, can be a connecting link to fasten their trembling faith upon Christ.
"We are to be laborers together with the heavenly angels in presenting Jesus to the world. With almost impatient eagerness the angels wait for our co-operation; for man must be the channel to communicate with man. And when we give ourselves to Christ in wholehearted devotion, angels rejoice that they may speak through our voices to reveal God's love."	Desire of Ages, 296-297

It Is Written completes its highly successful spring Revelation Seminar tour with two Pacific Union seminars, March 7 at the Hilton in Palm Springs and March 11 at the Eureka Inn Motor Lodge in Eureka.
These two Seminars cap a tour of the Seminars, with George Van dem an and George Knowles, through central and northern California, Washington, British Columbia and Colorado. The Palm Springs Seminar is the only Revelation Seminar to be held in southern California this year.

but he chose to accept the invitation of the North Pacific Union to become their president. A new secretary will be named by the Union Committee on March 4.
Associate Secretary Earl Can-son of the Southern California Conference was asked to head the Regional Department, replacing retiring G. N. Banks.
In other business, Union Committee membership was increased to 50, adding more laypersons and pastors. Study is to be given to a stronger Black public evangelistic endeavor, and the constitution was updated according to current membership and responsibilities. Evaluation of the current Union-centered Religious Liberty Department is also to be made within a year.
Every-member Priesthood
An every-member evangelistic thrust was introduced by the departments through Ministerial Director John Osborne. Sharing what has happened in his Portland, Oregon, church where such a witness is being made, Elder Don Gray suggested that public evangelism is more effective for reaping and follow-up. “The first duty of dividual members and pastors
o share what Christ has done
for them.” The Oregon congregation last year added 80 persons by baptism, since the enthusiasm of the every-member concept was expanded.
“Colaborers”
Recapping the way the Lord has led His Church in the Pacific Union during the past five years was a multimedia presentation, “Colaborers with the Angels.” The 47-minute program in picture, interview, music and recorded narrative is being made available for church groups and will be shown at some camp meetings.
Devotionals were led by Vice President Neal C. Wilson of the General Conference for North America, and General Conference President Robert H. Pierson. Other world headquarters leaders in attendance were J. W. Bothe, secretary assigned to North America and Associate Leader W. S. Banfield of the Regional Department. Charles Brooks, speaker for the Breath of Life telecast, also gave suggestions for witnessing.

Membership of the Pacific Union now totals 123,363 in 512 churches and companies, though those figures change almost

Care Center Educates Youth
Four academy-level students, a retired minister-educator, a jam-packed care center. How do these add up to a unique feature at Hilo Care Center?
The four teenagers, sons and daughters of staff members, could not go to a Christian school. The retired educator set up a tutoring program approved by the state and the union conference.
But now, the Care Center enters the picture. Six department supervisors agreed to help teach the students a Vocational Education Survey course.
Each student will be involved in each of the six departments on a rotational basis two weeks at a time.
The five academic units earned by the students in this survey course are the least of the benefits they derive. By work and study the students will become acquainted with the opportunities and demands of each vocational area.
And the Care Center has lent its facilities and supervising personnel to augment and enrich a Christian education program.
Final Ingathering Report Given
We, like the Psalmist, are led to declare, “I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works.” Psalm 9:1.
God once again has blessed the service of His people. The final figure of $1,384,591.01 for our 1975 Ingathering is the highest total ever reached in the Pacific Union. The per capita of $11.41, however, is the
second highest in recent years. The report gives place for rejoicing and place for challenge.
I trust that our prayers will continue to bring before the throne of God the interested persons contacted.
A big “Thank you” to every one who took part.
Clinton Shankel, Director, Lay Activities.
This Sacramento couple attended the Revelation Seminar just six days after their wedding. The Seminar tee was paid by a relative as a wedding gift.
"The humblest and poorest of the disciples of Jesus can be a blessing to others. They may not realize that they are doing any special good, but by their unconscious influence they may start waves of blessing that will widen and deepen, and the blessed results they may never know until the day of final reward. They do not feel or know they are doing anything great. They are not required to weary themselves with anxiety about success. They have only to go forward quietly, doing faithfully the work that God's providence assigns, and their life will not be in vain. Their own souls will be growing more and more into the likeness of Christ; they are workers together with God in this life, and are thus fitting for the higher work and the unshadowed joy of the life to come."

The January church remittance revealed an offering of $2,-840.4J .for Religious Liberty as compared to the January offering of $1,920.05 last year. We are pleased with this strong support by our members. Since offerings for Religious Liberty will be received through March and April, we will be able to again do extensive work in religious liberty. Liberty magazine needs to go into the hands of influential people across the country now more than ever. This certainly holds true in our conference.
Recently Arrah Curry, M.D., Kent Phillips, D.D.S., and Roland Postlewaite, D.D.S., joined President A. G. Streifling in a day at Loma Linda University recruiting medical and para-medical personnel for the Nevada-Utah Conference.
The response of many students who inquired about the work in Nevada-Utah shows a keen interest in setting up practices in areas where there are genuine needs.
This is the fourth year a recruitment team has gone to Loma Linda from our conference. We are beginning to benefit from the many contacts made.

Nursing Home Cheered by Youth
Desert Terrace Nursing Home is being cheered each Sabbath afternoon by youth from Phoenix Central Church who come and sing with guests at the home. Walter McLennan leads the congregation-type singing.
Bob Squire and the junior
division also help. The difference in age groups adds variety. As many as 20 residents come to the music room and half that many congregate in the hallway. Eight to 20 from the church share in what the attendants describe as “beautiful.” Books are passed out to those who desire them.
One of the guests visited by Phoenix Central youth is Olga Oss, heroine of the book, Behind Barbed Wire, an account of World War II experiences in a Japanese internment camp. Triumphs of Faith tells of Mrs. Oss’ earlier experiences when she solicited Ingathering funds in Chaing Kai-shek’s pre-war China. Both books are out of print; Central’s Sunshine group is searching for old copies.
Meeting persons with exciting lives like Olga Oss is an added thrill to the joy of sharing Christ with others through music.
Thunderbird Students Hold Week of Prayer
Decisions for baptism and rededication to Christ were made during the Student Week of Prayer held recently at Thunderbird Adventist Academy.
Using the theme “Happiness Is . . .	11 students devel-

Speakers were David Cossen-tine, Sue Barrera, Almina Kri-ner, Jim Williams, David Burns, Van Bledsoe, Jodi Davies, Rick Rasco, Don Keele, Jr., Becky Dowell and Keith Nelson.
As Keith summed up the week on Sabbath morning, “Happiness is Jesus as our Friend.”

they finished on Sunday, having taken in $500.
Mochi pounding is a long process in which rice must be washed a little at a time, soaked for a day or two, steamed and pounded. They tried using a mochi pounding machine but found the old style of manual labor was best. While the youth were pounding away, the ladies prepared and served lunch to all.
Working together for a good cause gave all who helped a satisfied feeling for contributing to the future leaders of the Church.

overcrowded building where Dorcas ladies worked for many years. When purchased from the local Moose Lodge, it was in need of thorough cleaning inside and out.
After many weeks of hard work, the walls inside were transformed from grease-stain brown to clean, fresh white. The interior odor gradually changed from stale tobacco to oven-cooked vegetarian foods. Outside, the building became clean and inviting, with newly landscaped entrance.
Cooking Taught protein from natural foods and meat analogs in order to lower cholesterol intake, the basic principles of good nutrition and how to get the most for the food dollar, and the making of nutritious desserts and bread. Recipes were available each night.
Attendance averaged 50 persons nightly. Many local professional persons attended, 35 of whom were friends from the community. One woman completely changed her family’s dietary habits as a result of the series.
Marimba Concerts Slated
Mallets for Christ, a unique ensemble of marimbas, a vibra-harp and a string bass, will appear in sacred concert in Fortuna February 28 at 5:30 p.m. and in Calistoga March 13 at 2:30 p.m. There will also be a secular program in Fortuna at 8 p.m. February 28.

On Dedication Day, more than 50 local church members and dignitaries from throughout Northern California came to witness the ribbon-cutting and enjoy a potluck meal together. Former Yuba City Pastor William Ludwig compared the transformation of the building to the change in the human heart and life when Christ takes over.
Center Director Pansy Snavely related the history of the Dorcas work in Yuba City, beginning in 1930.
Conference Lay Activities Director J. B. Church compared the building to an army recruitment center where persons are inducted, outfitted, trained and sent out into the field. “This building alone will do little for the community,” he said. “The people who work in it or out of it will make the difference.”

I very much enjoyed the talk on Vegetarianism and would appreciate very much your sending me your book about it, as I am on my way to becoming a vegetarian.
Has Vegetarianism always been a precept of the Seventhday Adventist Church? Do certain members ever backslide or suggest a desire to taste meat, and if so, does the Church do anything about it?
Whatever you would like to tell me in this regard, I should be very grateful. Thank you.

PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1976
IN KEEPING WITH THE THEME of making someone happy, the children of the Readiness Room at La Sierra Elementary School chose to remember the patients of a local convalescent hospital by making them small Valentine gifts and cards. The concept of happiness coming to those who serve was applied to the students7 lives as they carefully made the gifts and then saw the results when the patients gratefully accepted the remembrances. Above, Anna Puder, patient at a convalescent hospital, is shown receiving her remembrance gifts from (left to right) James Mallery, Tricia Walters and Lisa Shearer.

Hawaiian Mission President Lawrence Davidson and Pastor George Coffen of the Central Church, explained the purpose of the pre-school as a service to those in the community who find it necessary for both parents to be employed outside the home. In time this pre-school will hopefully provide employment for several academy students.

The draft as of now is totally deactivated, as are Draft Boards and the Lottery System. No one can enter the military service except through enlistment.
During this time of turning swords into plowshares, we counsel all of our young men and women not to enlist unless they have all information available, information which can be obtained from their local or union conference National Service Organization.
Actually there are no guaranteed provisions made for Seventh-day Adventist personnel to obtain noncombatant status or Sabbath privileges when enlisting. The only exception is in

Secretarial Seminar Scheduled
Secretaries and executives throughout the Union are invited to a seminar on “Communications and Effective Human Relationships’’ to be held on the La Sierra campus March 23.
The seminar, sponsored by the LLU Secretarial and Business Education Department lasts 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The cost of $20 per person includes lunch.
Guest conductor of the workshop is Dr. John Van de Water, who, as president of Van de Water Associates, Inc., lectures and directs seminars in management development and supervisory training.
A seminar on Time Management was conducted at La Sierra by Dr. Van de Water in September 1973. Many of the 200 who attended have often asked that Dr. Van de Water give another. Participants also

Too many Seventh-day Adventist young people are now enlisting only to find that the military is not compatible with their beliefs, and the result is often a giving up of these beliefs or a discharge that could have a bearing in subsequent life when seeking civilian employment.
Therefore we urge our youth to seek counsel before entering a situation that might jeopardize their future.

fore they graduate.”
Although the department does not have many majors, Bower feels quantity does not measure quality.
“We have doubled enrollment in some areas, with an especially large enrollment in our automotive area,” says Bower.
Car repair is just one of many programs the department offers. A well-rounded photography program attracts a large number of students each year. The department also has a complete aviation program.
“Four of our majors are now flying in the mission field,” says Bower. We are now acquiring a flight simulator, so more students in our ground school can obtain certificates.”
The education a student receives in the department includes not only classroom theory, but practical applications in on-the-job situations. “Not only know-how but do-how as well,” is the way Bower describes it. A building and construction class is now finishing a house. An architecture class is drawing plans for another building to be soon started.

“We had a pre-med student come in and take our courses in brake work. Now he has worked for two summers in a garage making very good money to pay for his education.”
Department programs are very flexible. If a student wants to learn a trade, a program can usually be arranged to suit his needs.
Bower feels his department also serves the church in a very special way. “You don’t always have to preach to people. Sometimes the best witness is the way we live our lives. Many times our graduates get jobs where they are the only Adventists,” he says. “We try and train Christian workers.”

Challenge
Thankful for the growth and God’s singular blessings in the Union, Elder Sandefur challenged constituent delegates to a “consecrated commitment to the completion of the task assigned as we consider the eternal calling to be colaborers with the angels.
“For the work will not be finished around the world until it is also completed in the Pacific Union Conference.”

"Only through a living faith in Christ as a personal Saviour is it possible to make our influence felt in a skeptical world. If we would draw sinners out of the swift running current, our own feet must be firmly set upon the Rock, Christ Jesus."
