Hearing that children in Uganda were wishing for English books, they sorted through their own libraries for reading materials to share. Associate Superintendent Helen Clarke shipped 60 pounds of books to C. M. Aliddeki, executive director of the Western Uganda Field, for distribution. Former missionaries anticipate that parents will also share in the reading—that they would welcome even old Reader’s Digests, just to have materials to read in English. Review Announces Book Contest Two South American Countries To Benefit Prizes of up to $750 are being offered in the Review and Herald’s Write Now II book contest. Submissions are now being accepted for book manuscripts in the category of practical Christian living. New and published authors are encouraged to share their ideas on how to stay healthy spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially and mentally. “We have found that most Christians are interested in these areas. We want to publish what our church members need, and we are looking for new and exciting approaches to how to live the Christian life,” explains Richard Parts Needed for Braille Watches Has your non-digital watch stopped ticking? If you’re thinking about discarding it, please DON’T. The parts can be used to repair braille watches for blind persons. In cooperation with the Pros and Cons Braille Unit, a program at the Nebraska State Penitentiary, Christian Record Braille Foundation is contributing springwound watches so that parts can be utilized to repair braille watches. The Braille Unit, manned entirely by inmates, produces textbooks and other reading materials in braille, in addition to repairing braille typewriters and watches.

(Continued on page 2) Religion in Media Awards Adventists Seventh-day Adventists were well represented in recent awards by Religion in Media, a Los Angeles-based organization which annually judges media productions for moral and religious values. Receiving its fifth “Angel” award—for its six-part miniseries on “Roots of the Bible”—It Is Written was honored also for being the only religious telecast to receive five for regularly scheduled programming. It was the third consecutive year, as well. In the television category, the Heritage Singers also were given an “Angel.” Thirty other “Angels” went to the networks and other religious organizations.

On the eastern coast of Brazil, which occupies almost half of the land mass of this Division, the new boarding school near Salva- UNDER THE MOTTO “Build stations where possible and lease time where necessary,” Adventist World Radio is attempting to cover the world with a message of hope. Providing programming to accommodate a multiplicity of languages and cultures demands a utilization of help wherever it can be found. Here African students at Andrews University prepare programs in French for Francophone countries in Africa. It is not too late to give in support of AWR’s unending ministry. Sunspot Productions, the Voice of Prophecy spot ministry headed by John Robertson, received a “Certificate of Excellence and Merit” for a collection of “commercials” emphasizing Christmas. This was the only Adventist award in the radio category. Of the 10 listings in the albums category, four went to Adventist artists. An “Angel” went to Big Jim McDonald for “A Brand New Love for Christmas.” “Certificates of Merit” were given to “Spirit of Praise” by the Heritage Singers and “Favorites through the Years” to The Heralds quartet sponsored by the Spoken Word of Oxnard, California. “Secrets of the Kingdom,” the creation of Jeff Wood and E. J. Irish and produced by the William Jeffrey Group of Camarillo, California, was judged the best children’s record. George Vandeman and all the artists involved expressed pleasure at being used by God to bring this recognition to His work. dor will be known as Minas Gerais Academy. Situated in the northern portion of the strip of land which runs much of the length of South America, the Chilean construction will replace an inadequate day school operated by the Central Church in Antofagasta.

Brazilians credit widespread church schools for a large portion of their growth and membership. Marking the establishment of Brazil College in 1915, the year Ellen White died, they point to the fact that they have followed her counsels for the erection of schools even though she had no specific admonitions for their nation. They now have 10 boarding schools and hundreds of day educational centers built up over the past 63 years.

AS AN ACT TO CLOSE the officially proclaimed YEAR OF THE BIBLE, President Ronald Reagan has been presented the 28-millionth copy of the Living Bible. Making the presentation was Dr. Kenneth N. Taylor, the man who prepared the contemporary version of the Bible that first appeared at book stores in August 1971. President Reagan declared that every year should be The Year of the Bible, when Dr. Taylor made the presentation in the oval office of the White House. Several Biblical groups chose Dr. Taylor to present a Living Bible to the President because of the impact the easy-to-read version has made on the public, and because the publication of 28 million copies in 12 years is a watermark number for any book. Shortly after The Living Bible hit the bookstores, it became the number one non-fiction best seller, and remained in that category for more than a year.

Speaker at the organizational meeting held at the Modesto Parkwood church was Dr. Olov Blomquist, who related experiences relative to Adventist radio work he and his wife are actively promoting in Europe. Dr. Blomquist told the story of a husband and wife in a small town in northern Italy who, in spite of almost insurmountable obstacles, started and financed a radio program. Soon the bitter opposition of townspeople changed to approval and support.

The 12 young people, encouraged by Sabbath school and church leaders, call their effort “The Right Way—A Family Crusade.” Eight meetings are being held in March on Saturday and Sunday nights from 7 to 8 with the Earliteens as the speakers. Other young people will provide music. The group hoped to attract young people their own age with the program’s relaxed format, although the crusade is designed to appeal to the entire family. The group’s goal is to make a contribution to the 1000 Days of Reaping, but one Earliteen summed up the feelings of all in an update to the Campbell Church family recently: “The Crusade,” he said, “will not be a failure if there are no baptisms from it. We just want the chance to plant a seed in someone’s heart.” gram for the children in the area. Because of the financial needs of the radio work in Europe, the Modesto area retiree group voted to support this aspect of the world work with a club contribution.

Campbell Organizes Kindness Ministry “It’s so sad to grow old and be alone,” Helen sighed from her convalescent hospital bed as tears dampened her eyes. Members of the Campbell Church are concerned about Helen and other elderly shut-ins who feel isolated, lonely and neglected. A Kindness Ministry was organized to reach out to elderly church members. Participating in groups, children and adults visit the elderly in convalescent hospitals and private homes on Sabbath after noons. They sing songs of praise, share Bible verses and fellowship together. Church members show kindness in a variety of ways. A potluck dinner was organized to honor elderly members. Each honored guest received a personal invitation by mail, transportation was provided where needed, and each one was given a red carnation corsage. A musical program added to the occasion.

Carrying group insurance through Nl, the campus has annually received a contribution from the Ohiobased firm. While attending meetings at the General Conference, Provost R. Dale McCune, Ed.D., made acquaintance with some of the executives at the corporate headquarters, thanking them for their past support and encouraging its continuation.

Entitled “The Ages of Man,” the program features Sculptor Alan Collins, FRBS, ARCA, professor of art, as he creates in clay an ever-changing head, passing from infancy to old age. Dorothy Minchin-Comm, Ph.D., professor of English, together with other readers and musicians, provides the background for this procession of life. Several Pacific Union institutions have hosted the performance and only three performances remain on the schedule for California: April 18, 12 noon, Southeastern California Conference Assembly Room, 11330 Pierce, Riverside; April 21, 11 a.m., Arlington Adventist Church, 8778 Magnolia, Riverside; April 27, Friday evening vespers, Pacific Union College, Angwin. A sequel to “The Ages of Man” will run on May 5 and May 19 as part of LLU’s Fine Arts Festival ’84. Based on the theme of brotherhood, it will show on May 5 at both the first and second services of the University Church and on May 19 in the first and second services of the La Sierra Collegiate Church. ***** RICHARD FRATES AND HIS FRIENDS WERE AT IT AGAIN. Over a February weekend, the ministerial studies major from Arizona and about a dozen friends from LLU La Sierra hauled themselves, food, and about a ton of clothing and toys to Mexicali. Mr. Frates had made the same trip earlier with only two others and one vehicle; but this time the trip required two cars, one station wagon, and a pickup truck. The group included Juan Velez, professor of Spanish, Erik Velez (no relation to the professor), Brent Brusett, Oscar Rubio, Mary Lynn Franks, Cyndi Maschak, Ricky Frates (Richard’s son), and others.

Air-time rates for the broadcast are approximately $2,000 a program, about one-third of the normal tariff. Thus, at a cost of only two or three cents per listener, Adventists proximately $50,000 to keep the program going for another 26 weeks. For Adventist World Radio, Board Secretary Tulio Haylock indicates that the board can support only the Luxembourg broadcast, as insufficient funds come in to finance this as well as other denominational programs from stations in Gabon, Sri Lanka, Portugal, Spain and Guatemala. And only with such media as radio can the church reach the five billion people on planet earth. Thank you for your support of Monument Valley Hospital says thanks.

PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE recently played a role in the planned construction of an Adventist academy in the Marshall Islands. John Clough, shown above, directed the loading of four 20-foot sea containers headed for the Marshall Islands and the academy construction project. Mr. Clough, a former director of physical plant at the La Sierra Campus of Loma Linda University and a current SOS (Sustentation Overseas Service) worker in the Marshall Islands, was helped during Christmas vacation by a number of PUC staff as they loaded one ton of floor tile, 750 gallons of paint, wall board, electrical supplies, lumber, carpet and a piano. The construction project was scheduled to begin in February, aided by a crew of student volunteers from san Gabriel Academy. Oak arm- chair desks for the new academy are being sought. ATLANTIC UN CLG THE JOHN T. HAMILTON CHORALE presented a concert at the January 29 Sunday evening worship of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California. Among their concerts in England this summer will be one at Westminster Abbey. Most of the musicians are members of Adventist churches. (Photo by S. A. Yakush) 8 PACIFIC UNION RECORDER I MARCH 19,1984
