"The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The observance of the false sabbath will be urged upon us. The contest will be between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. Those who have yielded step by step to worldly demands, and conformed to worldly customs, will then yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death."

It Is Written Seminar Team Comes to Northern California
Churches in Northern and Central California conferences will have a first-hand look at It Is Written’s newest and most successful form of evangelism, the It Is Written Revelation Seminar, when George Vande-man and his Seminar team go to the San Francisco, San Jose and Sacramento areas in midJanuary.
Four of the day-long Seminars are scheduled for the area with additional evening Seminars scheduled in outlying areas. Dates for the Seminars are as follows:
January 17—San Jose
January 18—Concord
January 21—Eureka (evening Seminar)
January 24—Sacramento
January 25—San Francisco
Based on a seminar or teaching approach to message presentation, the It Is Written Revelation Seminar follows the Church’s Five-Day Plan to Stop Smoking clinics, and by such courses as Fascinating Womanhood and the recent Bill Gothard Basic Youth Conflicts series. While the program is new in format, the message contains all the traditional evangelistic elements plus 30 minutes on healthful living and vegetarianism.
Because of the one-day approach, churches some distance from the area in which the Seminar is held may benefit from the event with delegations of the interested attending the Seminar with lay-members and pastors with whom they have been studying. These delegations may then return to their various local church areas for their own evening follow-up Seminars still using the Revelation Seminar materials and format.
What’s Included
Those who attend the daylong Seminar receive a Seminar Bible, study materials and a vegetarian luncheon for the $12.50 per person registration
fee. Activities throughout the 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. day Seminar include chain Bible-marking, Bible survey, discovery of the Book of Revelation, as well as questions and answers.

Your New Year's Resolution
"Now Is the Time"
by Ernest Lloyd
Elder Robert Pierson, our General Conference president, wrote a letter to our people around the world at the close of the highly important session in Vienna. He earnestly appealed to all Adventists for renewed study of the Bible. The following seven steps are worthy of personal adoption by every church member. Let me quote the seven suggestions and add a few words.
1.	“Daily prayerful study of the Scriptures.” Begin the day with God. Early to bed and early to rise, plus determination, still produce good results.
2.	“Hiding the Word in the heart by memorizing important selections.” Blessings always follow this good habit.
3.	“Reading the Bible through each year.” But never read fast when reading the Bible. Little is gained if you do. Go slower when reading this wonderful Book. It contains hidden treasures. You must search for them. Surprises await you. Pray frequently as you read.
4.	“Daily study of the Sabbath school lesson.” Another rewarding experience.
5.	“Morning and evening family worship with Bible reading.” Parents and children are blessed by our heavenly Father as they pray together before retiring and before separating in the morning.
6.	“More Bible preaching by all Adventist ministers.” Yes, less quoting from men and books, and more simple preaching from the Book that lifts,
Kingdom of Conscience
Vatican Stresses "Interdependence”
“Its real kingdom is the kingdom of conscience,” explained Archbishop Agostino Casaroli, Vatical Secretary of the Council for Public Affairs of the Church. He spoke of the Vatican’s “right to belong to the international community” even though it is “only the Holy See,” the only religious organization to be “recognized as a full member of the Community ... admitted to take its place and act in it like the States.”
Earlier he had stated that the Vatican was in harmony with the idea that July 4, 1976 would bring to an end the “Declaration of Independence,” and proclaim the “Declaration of Interdependence.” This envisions all world governments be-
enlightened by the Holy Spirit and given power by Him.
7.	“The ministry to organize Bible study and prayer groups for the purpose of sharing Bible truth with others.” Yes, our ministry owes this help to all our church members. Ellen White long ago made this statement: “Every member of the church, educated or uneducated, is to be a minister of the message of reconciliation with God.”
What a privilege! “Let us all enter into the spirit of the seven steps. It will have a transforming, sanctifying influence upon us as leaders, and on the entire church.”
“Now Is the Time”
THEY COME FROM FARAWAY PLACES to earn the degree of Master of Science in Public Health at Loma Linda University. These are ministers and most of them are sponsored by their state or union conferences. It takes a full year of study but gives a pastor a big advantage with the M.S.P.H. degree. Health and religion work very well together with all classes, it is found. More than 14 states are represented in the 1976 class. They also come from Japan, West Germany, Pakistan, Norway, Peru, Jamaica, Africa, Chile, Australia, and Austria. Two are from Canada. Because of other classes and off-campus assignments, only about half of them appear in this picture. Assistant Professor Reuben Hubbard, a minister and an instructor at LLU, stands at the far left.
Candidates for the degree coming from the Pacific Union are: R. Allen Jamison, Ritchie Christianson, Robert Whitaker and Norman E. Snipes of California. From Arizona: Alan Crandall and Orvin Fillman.
ing interdependent, and the Vatican would stand “posed with outstretched wings covering the whole globe, an independent power . . . which imposes itself because of its stature, its history, its influence.”
Under this plan all nations would be dependent, and only the Vatican independent. When one “accepts the Catholic Church in this way, almost as the conscience of humanity,” as
Conscience Bill
S.	B. 1288 Goes
After considerable discussion Wednesday, January 7, Senate Bill 1288 squeaked by its first step of approval when the Senate Industrial Relations Committee voted 4 to 1 to pass the bill on to the full Senate.
The Spirit of God made His presence aware as a number of God’s people testified for the bill.
Last week’s California AFL-CIO News had labeled the bill “a viciously anti-labor bill which would destroy union shop contracts in the name of freedom of conscience,” and called all labor affiliates to “write or wire ... at once.”
The News story quoted from a Christmas Eve letter sent to all Labor Federation affiliates from John F. Henning, the Federation’s executive officer. He referred to a dozen occasions when this issue was defeated in 1975 and concluded, “This obviously does not mean the battle is over.”
Noting that S.B. 1288 would exempt from union membership
“everybody’s friend,” its voice of conscience in international affairs, it becomes very easy to see the imminent fulfillment of prophecy as given by Scripture and the pen of inspiration. “And he cause th all . . . to receive a mark . . . that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, . . . that as many as would not worship the

to Full Senate any worker whose religious belief forbids his or her joining a labor organization, Henning said, “This is simply a cover-up for allowing outside forces to destroy unions.”
As a result, a flood of letters inundated both the committee and full Senate members. Can Seventh-day Adventists do less?
Kindly tell your senator that you are seeking to destroy nothing, but you are desirous of making employment possible for even those whose consciences will not allow union membership. Their willingness to pay to a designated charity should help underscore to the legislators the true basis of objection.
Every Adventist California constituent should write his or her district senator urging his support of S.B. 1288. You will find his name in the white pages of the telephone directory under California, State of, Senate.
Presstime word is that the

Wickenburg Church Uses Nutrition for Ministry
The right hand of the ministry is working in a positive way in Wickenburg with the successful completion of a Nutrition for Better Living class and a Five-Day Plan to Stop Smoking.
The home nutrition classes lasted for five weeks with relevent topics such as “A Balanced Diet,” “Why I Am a Vegetarian,” “Sugar Time,” “Beverage News” and “Time to Eat, Everyone.” Film strips, food demonstrations and tasting, handouts and door prizes helped make the classes more enjoyable. There was a remarkable response nightly leading to new interests and commitments. The classes were conducted by Lucy Cisneros.
Dr. Sterling Ryerson and Pastor Hubert Cisneros worked as a team conducting the Five-Day Plan to Stop Smoking. Smokers, as well as others were invited to attend and all were benefitted by learning how to live healthfully.
These two community services were held in the newly constructed social hall at the Wickenburg church. These and other community thrusts are pointing to a climax in January when the conference ministerial secretary, Elder Don Houghton,

I am confident that the Lord’s work in these two fine churches will make good progress under Elder Larson’s dedicated leadership. We will want to pray for this dear family in their new responsibility in our field.

Director of Medical Records M. Ione Sharp, at Tempe Adventist Hospital, received her 30-year service pin at the hospital’s recent Christmas dinner.
Actually, Mrs. Sharp was working for Dr. Ernest Von Pohle when he began Adventist health care in Tempe during World War II. She began work at the hospital when Dr. Von Pohle established the facility in 1945.
Hospital Administrator Sherman Cross said, in making the presentation, “We have a tremendous heritage of faith here at Tempe Adventist Hospital. We hope to carry on that commitment of compassion until Jesus comes.”
The Arizona Conference is very happy to welcome Elder and Mrs. Walter E. Brown to its family of workers. He succeeds Elder James R. Hardin who accepted a call to direct the Sabbath School Department in the Pacific Union Conference.
We appreciate the strong leadership Elder Hardin gave to the Camelback Church dur

ing the four years he served as pastor. We will miss the Hardin family, but we wish for them the Lord’s choice blessings in their new responsibility.
Elder Brown has a rich background in pastoral ministry. He comes to us from the Jackson, Mississippi, Church in the Alabama-Mississippi Conference. His wife is the former Diane Mathews; they both attended Southern Missionary College. They have two daughters: Beth Marie, 10, and Keri Lynn, one.
Elder Brown received a Master’s degree in 1965 from Andrews University.
A very fine group in Coolidge is included in the Camelback district. I am confident that both churches will move forward under Elder Brown’s able and dedicated leadership. Please remember this dear family in your prayers as they labor for the Lord in this area.

Spanish Church Grows from Tempe Outreach
After working for about two years with the English-speaking Spanish people in the Tempe area, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer McCormick began a Branch Sabbath School with the financial support of the Tempe Adventist Church.
As the group grew, the Branch Sabbath school was attended by people who could not speak English. To overcome this difficulty, Daniel Parra of the Phoenix Spanish Church was asked to assist and soon became the Branch Sabbath School leader. Though support for the Branch Sabbath School was then transferred to the Phoenix Spanish Church, lay-members from Tempe remained active in teaching the young people. The branch school became a joint effort by the two churches.
These efforts culminated re-recently at the Spanish camp meeting in Prescott when Conference President E. Frank Sherrill established the Tempe Spanish Church with 27 members. This new church was the first Spanish church formed in Arizona in 55 years. Since then, a new company has been formed in Nogales and there are at least two other groups studying.

Three husbands made their families complete in the Lord as did two married couples. Three who had once known the joy of Christian fellowship were reunited with God’s Church through baptism. A former championship boxer, Joe Pimentel, now a completely committed member of the Church, brought all his valuable jewelry and presented it to the pastor and evangelist for the work of the Church. He himself brought approximately 50 visitors to the meetings.
Former convict and drug addict, Leonard Nanez, gave himself completely to Jesus. Leonard, who had spent much of his life bouncing from prison to street, united with the Church as did his wife. Today he works for other addicts as a rehabilitation specialist at the Narcotics Prevention Project in Los Angeles.
As the interest created in many is followed up by studies, numerous other baptisms are expected in the weeks ahead.

Present to participate was Conference President Max Torkelsen who commended this forward move by this small congregation.
Also present to bring greetings were Vice Mayor Thomas R. Crecelius and Pastor James White, president of the local Ministerial Association.
The colonial-style church, which will seat 150, was designed by Wiggo Wake of Glendale and will be built under the supervision of Wendell Slater, conference builder.
STANDING ROOM ONLY was left when about 3,000 attended the Annual Christmas Candlelight Concert, Sabbath afternoon, Dec. 13, in the Loma Linda University church. The community came to hear the 70-voice Sanctuary Choir, a 50-piece orchestra, the Loma Linda Brass Society, and the "Troubadours," an 80-voice eighth-grade choir from Chemawa Middle School in Riverside. Midway in the program the congregation helped with several traditional carols. The directors in order were: Bjorn Keyn, Raymond Casey,, Ben Eby, andMargie Uechi. Organist was David Banta and the two soloists were Jeralyn Banta and Marilyn Cotton, sopranos. Small lanterns were carried by the singers in the processional. The music department of the University Church sponsors the concert each year.
Pastor LeRoy Finck is directing in this project and is assisted by a building committee consisting of Dr. Harland Holderby, Dr. Frank Bonnet, Sandra Bonnet, James Hughes, Ellen Holderby and Irene Wright.
Construction will start immediately. At present the congregation is meeting in church school facilities.

Escondido Junior Academy’s handbell choir was featured in the school’s Christmas program December 4. The choir consists of 12 students directed by Mrs. Lula Ann Birchell. Her bell choirs in the past have played at the Spokane World’s Fair and the Opera House in Spokane.
The bell choir will play for the Bicentennial Celebration at Disneyland in May 1976. Local concerts will be given for Escondido, Ramona, Vista, Poway, Oceanside and Fallbrook churches.

School Experiments
Foothills Elementary School of St. Helena is experimenting with the mini-course concept this year.
Grades five through eight are formed into small groups twice weekly for a l^-hour period of study on a subject not usually found in the traditional elementary-school curriculum.
The response of the students to these courses has been enthusiastic. The school year is divided into six 6-week periods so every six weeks there is opportunity for students to change their topic of special study. They are given a choice of courses, and an effort is made to honor their choices, as far as practical.

We were saddened to learn of the death of Elder Emil S. Arias, pastor of the Sacramento Spanish Church. He was on vacation in Chile visiting his family when he became ill and was taken to the hospital. He died after surgery January 1, 1976. Funeral services were held in Chile the following day.
We are deeply sorry for this loss and we pray especially that the "God of all comfort" will be with Sister Arias and the children, Lina, Ivonne and Nury.

Orangevale Boys Build Porch
Seventh- and eighth-grade boys of the Orangevale Church School constructed a porch over the entrance of the recently built Better Living Center in Orangevale.
Arthur Westphal, building contractor for the Center, directed the students in building the porch, tarring the roof and painting the exposed wood.
As part of the school program combining study and work this year, sewing, cooking, gardening and special projects such as this construction work are being taught.
The work on the Better Living Center porch was completed in three afternoons under Westphal’s able guidance.

Better Nutrition,” with the
guidance and encouragement of Pastor R. K. Tilstra. This cooking school has been held four times in the home church this year and several times for neighboring churches in the Sacramento area.
The recent school at Carmichael in November was attended by about 60 persons, most of them non-Adventists from the community.
Carmichael’s cooking school coordinator, Ruthie Flynn, said, “It really is fun to see how surprised and delighted the people are when they taste the samples each evening. They become even more interested when we explain how nutritious these natural foods are. And when we demonstrate how to prepare them quickly and easily, they’re hooked!
“Through all this we are seeking to draw the minds of those who attend to a deeper appreciation of our Creator Who has so abundantly provided for all our needs. It is a privilege to have a part in this ministry.”
TROPHY WINNER—Santa Rosa's Pathfinder of the Year award was presented to Eva Lew during Pathfinder Sabbath services in the church recently.
With Eva are other members of her family and club; W. C. De Haven (left), Northern's youth director; girls' director Doris Langham, and boys' director Eldon Penner (right, middle row); and club director Eddie James receiving a $46 check from Philosda president Mariella Sparks to sponsor two Pathfinders for one year.
Though Eva and her family are not Adventists, she attends Redwood Jr. Academy and enjoys school and Pathfindering very much.

Visalia Evangelism Meets with Success
“I realized I had been worshiping the devil!” a woman told Evangelist Dick Rentfro after the opening lecture on the occult in the L. J. Williams Theater at Visalia. Continuing, she explained, “I had hundreds of dollars worth of books on the topic, and then I felt I had to get rid of them. I wondered if I should give them to someone else, but realized that if I shouldn’t read them then no one else should read them either, so I threw them into the garbage can with coffeegrounds poured on top of it all!”

Some of the highlights of the party were a film, “Christmas Is”; gifts presented to each child by Santa (Ray Tetz); all the children received a stocking containing fruits, nuts and candy.
The success of the party was evident by the joy and happiness expressed on the faces of the children and also the academy students who gave of themselves as well as their gifts.

Revelation Seminar Opens
(Continued from page 1)
Are Adventists welcome? Certainly! The Seminar program is designed for every church member who is actively involved in Christian witnessing. To make certain that the program can be most effective for members and their interested friends, Adventist attendance is limited to those church members who bring one paying nonAdventist each. Every person who attends, of course, pays the required registration fee.
Papacy Seeks Control
(Continued from page 1) image of the beast should be killed.” Rev. 13:16,17,15.
Control of conscience has been a vital teaching of the Vatican for centuries. “The doctrine that God has committed to the church the right to control the conscience, and to define and punish heresy, is one of the most deeply rooted of papal errors.” Great Controversy, 293.
While we see difficulties ahead, we can be encouraged that God will not forsake His faithful children. “The authorities will make laws to restrict religious liberty. They will assume the right that is God’s alone. They will think they can force the conscience, which God alone should control. Even now they are making a beginning; this work they will continue to carry forward till they reach a boundary over which they cannot step. God will interpose in behalf of His loyal, commandment keeping people.” Desire of Ages, 630.

Mass Rally Scheduled
White Memorial church will be the setting for a Mass Lay Evangelism Rally Sabbath, January 31 at 3 p.m.
The rally will not only instruct in how to witness, but will also inspire and tell how souls have been won in the past. Successful lay evangelists and those recently won to the Lord will give personal testimonies.
As a special feature, Elder Charles L. Brooks will sing for the vespers program. Many have heard his records; now they can hear him in person.
Every lay person, not only in the Greater Los Angeles area but also in Southeastern and Central California conferences, whether or not they hold a church or Sabbath school office, whether youth or adult, is ur
gently invited to attend.
Why It’s Held
The Seminar plan is an ideal one for many types of Seventhday Adventist lay-member interest.
Many find the approach is a natural with youth and young adults. The neighbors of all members are excellent prospects as well. Asking them to attend for just one day as well as the uniqueness of the plan appeals to many who would not be ready to attend a nightly, full-scale evangelistic series.

What a glorious time in which to live. What hope! What expectation!
Your sacrificial commitments and generous gifts to LIBERTY will enable thought leaders to learn about God’s love, His law, His government, and His coming kingdom. It will also enable us, as a remnant, to get a breath of “freedom” before it is entirely gone.

Pacific Union College’s $60,-000 fund-raising project for a new dining room/kitchen at its Biological Field Station in Albion went over the half-way mark this week with a $10,000 grant from The James Irvine Foundation of San Francisco.
According to Director of Development Dr. Don J. Coles, the foundation’s gift brings the project total to more than $35,000. Over $25,000 has been raised from alumni and friends of the
college.
“The college is pleased with the gift and we are confident the sizable grant will challenge others to complete the fund drive in order to start construction on schedule,” says Coles.
Construction is scheduled to begin early next summer when foundation and plumbing work will be done. A Biology Department-organized “build-in” has been set for August imme-

diately after the close of the Summer Session. Construction tradesmen have already volunteered their services for the building project.
The rustic field station near the mouth of the Albion River was a logging camp until the mill burned in 1929. The college leased the land and buildings 1946-1953 when the camp was purchased.
Since then, Coles notes, hundreds of students and visitors
have studied and visited there. When classes are not in session, the station facilities are used by clubs, elementary, high school, college and church groups. From October to June of the recent school year, 1,000 non-college individuals enjoyed the use of the station.
“With the new dining facility, students and groups should enjoy the camp even more,” Coles adds.

Passion Week Events Topic Week of Prayer
The events of the passion week of Christ will be featured during PUC’s Student Week of Prayer January 18-24.
According to Royce Snyman, student co-coordinator with Bob Agnetta, the topic of each day’s talk by students will match the event of that same day during Christ’s last week before His death.
Because of this special theme, the format of the week is somewhat different than previous years. The first meeting will be Sunday evening instead of Monday. In previous years, the communion service has come on Friday evening vespers, but this year it will take place on Thursday evening to coincide with the first celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
Also this year, the last meeting will come on Sabbath afternoon. It will be immediately followed by a Fellowship Supper.
Business Books
Luyster, a partner in the firm Luyster and Stout, Accountants, Professional Corporation, in Redlands, gave the books through the College’s business administration and economics department. The total value of the gift exceeds $1,200, according to Department Chairman Dr. Richard Voth.
“We’re pleased to have the books and feel they will certainly up-grade the department,” says Voth. Of immediate help will be 85 volumes of United States Tax Cases dating from 1913 to the present that will be used for a winter-quarter course in taxation for individuals and a spring-quarter course dealing with tax planning for partnerships, corporations, trusts and estates.
Luyster attended PUC from 1956-58. He served as a staff auditor for the Pacific Union Conference auditing department from 1965 until 1968 and later worked as internal auditor for Loma Linda University.
Luyster has two children, John, 13, and Jonna, 10, and is married to Verna Schultz from Lodi. Mrs. Luyster is a two-year graduate from the PUC Office Administration Department.
