education programs sponsored by the Department of Health and Family
Life during a recent two-month period. Director Wayne Griffith says
about 90 percent of the attendees were non-members. For one man it
was the first contact with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Dr.

credit hours. And from January 21 to March 10 more than 500 people

program during the Sabbath-
afternoon session. Erling Calkins,

to be baptized. We hope more
churches will add this division.”

Ways To Worship
“Let the fresh blessing of each
new day awaken praise in our
hearts for these tokens of His lov-
ing care. When you open your
eyes in the morning, thank God
that He has kept you through the
night. Thank Him for His peace in
your heart. Morning, noon, and
night, let gratitude as a sweet per-
fume ascend to heaven.’’ The
