FaciFic union Monday, October 24, 1977 / Volume 77, Number 17 / Angwin, California / Official Organ of the Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Here s How "Ways To Witness" Emphasized In this issue of the Recorder, attention is drawn to “Ways To Witness.” Everyone will acknowledge that every act of every day is a witness of one kind or another. Most would witness positively for the One Who provides “our daily bread.” But many are reluctant to go door-to-door or bring conversation around to spiritual things. Yet, “Christianity is not to be merely paraded on the Sabbath and displayed in the sanctuary; it is for every day in the week and for every place. Its claims must be recognized and obeyed in the workshop, at home, and in business transactions with brethren and with the world.” Conflict and Courage, 119 And so each one has his daily opportunities, with power proportionate to one’s own ability to use that power. If one has a weak experience, he has a weak witness. For, of course, we can’t reflect a light we are not walking in. Daily, each of God’s children is witnessing—in some humble sphere of labor in the home or in a public field of usefulness. One is not more important than another. “All are needed by each one; nothing is fair or good alone,” the poet wrote. “A chain of living witnesses” is how God’s children are de- (Continued on page 5) A community outreach reaping over 500 visitors, the new Pacific Union Conference home office was opened to the public on Sunday, September 25. Sunday, September 25 Open House at Union Office Draws Over 500 A NECESSARY PART of an important witness, composing-room workers (below) set type on Linotypes and make up pages for the Pacific Union Recorder. An ordained minister and missionary for many years, Elder Rolland Howlett is composing-room foreman and serves on the "pastoral staff" of the Recorder, with its congregation of just under 50,000 members. Hoi Ba Ly served for 23 years at the Adventist Press in Saigon, South Vietnam, where he learned the printing trade from Elder Howlett. Elmer Wild has done composing-room work for three decades. When the staff of the Pacific Union Conference set a date for Open House at their new office building, great care was taken that the emphasis would be upon what goes on in the office rather than the structure itself. Accepting the challenge of Annual Council, 1976, to let everyone around Adventist institutions know what a Seventh-day Adventist Christian is, they sent a different kind of invitation. Mailed to 31,775 homes in the greater Conejo Valley—from Calabasas to Newbury Park—was a flyer which not only invited the readers to Open House but also told them something of the Church, should they not come for the personal witness. Ads and news releases from print and electronic media emphasized the spiritual. Even letters to the pastors of the community underscored the mission "Signs" Will Lower Its Price In a bold new way, Pacific Press Publishing Association is opening the door to one of the most concentrated evangelistic campaigns ever. Beginning with the January, 1978 issue, Signs, the Church’s 103-year-old missionary magazine, will reflect a new format and a $2.95 ($3.95 outside the United States) subscription rate. A product of the tremendous increases in printing technology during the past few years, the new $2.95 Signs will bring the subscription rate to pre-1967 levels. A projected circulation of one million copies per month within two years is anticipated. The new format is being introduced to make it easier for church members to increase their Signs subscription lists and thus widen the influence of the magazine. A goal of at least one piece of Adventist literature in every home in North America before the 1980 General Conference session has been aimed at. Installation of a new five-unit Harris web offset press will make possible the printing, folding, and pasting of the 32-page magazine in one operation. The 35,000 per hour printing (Continued on page 8) State Senator Lou Cusanovich and Mr. Ben Key from Senator Barry Goldwater, Jr.'s office were among the guests on the Open House program. of the Church. Because the Valley is history conscious, the printed messages all related to the heritage in nation, throughout the area, and from the Church. And God brought the guests —more than 500 of them, over half non-members of the Adventist Church. Indeed, only members in the Valley churches were invited, for it was to be a day for the non-members to (Continued on page 7) MORE GENERAL NEWS ON PAGES 5, 7 AND 8 ERRATA "The Young Believers" Block Act (front page, last week's Recorder) was by Tony Case and not his cousin, Steve Case.

The size of the listening area would increase about 560 per cent, from 317 square miles to about 1,700 square miles. The move would entail purchasing new equipment, doubling the station’s power plus the cost of moving the transmitter to the new site, totaling about $70,000.

So, no real thought was given to a site that would provide the maximum coverage; rather, a site was chosen which was inexpensive and convenient. And as a result, we have quite a limited coverage. Our transmitter is at the bottom of the mountain, but FM transmitters do best if they are at the tops of mountains.” To gain FCC approval for the move, KLLU had to convince FCC authorities that they were of good moral character, that they would serve the community well by what they were doing, and that it would be in the public interest for them to allow this expansion, according to McIntyre. However, the financial application for the project has not gained final approval from the FCC. “They’re not convinced that a station can raise the money we’re talking about, to make this kind of move. And they have said to us, ‘You show us your money, and then we will grant you permission to go ahead.’ ” Seventy thousand dollars is a lot of money, but KLLU has discovered that each donation of $10 means adding approximately 100 people to their potential audience, a gift of $50 means approximately 500 additional people can tune in, and each gift of $100 increases their potential audience by some 1,000 listeners. “ ‘Think Higher’ is the theme of our campaign to increase KLLU’s radio ministry. We’re dedicated to being used by the Lord as fully as possible. We believe that we must all ‘Think Higher’ and plan greater—letting God challenge us to the fullest of our potentials,” says McIntyre.

Dukane Projectors Being Used for Bible Studies Reports are coming to the Conference office regarding the Bible studies that are being given with the Dukane projectors, Encounter film strips and cassette studies. Southeastern has a goal of four Bible studies a week for each projector. This means that there should be over 700 extra Bible studies given per week plus all of the other regular Bible studies. The first baptism has been reported as a result of using this new aid to share the Good News. A new thrust of personal evangelism is moving across John Rhodes Will Hold Prophetic Bible Seminar “Star Wars and Bible Prophecy” is the unique title to open an 11-night Prophetic Bible Seminar, beginning October 22 at 7:30 p.m. by Conference Ministerial Director John Rhodes, at the new Lakeside Adventist church, 10404 Lake Jennings Park Road, Lakeside CA 92040. Because of the great interest in the popular movie by that name, Elder Rhodes has used this as a launching pad into the original star war fought in heaven, as recorded in Revelation 12. Other major topics will cover high points of the message in this brief reaping series. An eight-minute, “Prelude to Prophecy,” will feature a brief visit to some area of the Bible Lands nightly as illustrated on the screen. Nursery care and a Bible story hour are provided for children through age nine. Send names of interests to Pastor John Shewmake at the above church address.

ELDER HELVIUS THOMPSON, an evangelist in the Central States Conference, has been called to be Conference Black evangelist. PASTOR WILLIAM PENICK is transferring to San Diego 31st Street Church to be associate pastor. The San Bernardino 16th Street Church and the Barstow Desert View Church now form a district with ELDER NORMAN SNIPES as senior pastor and PASTOR RICHARD HODNETT as associate pastor. The following pastors have resigned for various reasons or taken a leave of absence, ELDER GERALD WOOD, PASTOR BRUCE EDMINSTER and PASTOR WILLIAM CALKINS. Because of the vacancy at San Diego Broadway, ELDER BOB BONEY will become pastor of that church rather than the Imperial Beach Church. ELDER ARTHUR EARLL, pastor at San Marcos, is transferring to the Loma Linda Campus Hill Church to be an associate pastor. PASTOR OLE BAKKE will become the new pastor at San Marcos.

Everyone can give a Bible study with this new projector. In the Chino Church, a member who was baptized only three months ago takes the projector to the factory where he works. He uses his projector during the noon hour to give Bible studies to people while they eat their lunch. In Garden Grove a lady gave 60 Bible studies in six weeks. According to the report given to us, she had never given Bible studies before. The Corona Church reports that a family requested the projector and Bible lessons be left with them during the two-week vacation of the person taking the lessons to them. This family went through all the studies by themselves. After the vacation, they asked the member what they should do A NEW TIME is scheduled for Sabbath worship services at the Fountain of Youth Company.

One of the guests who was not a Seventh-day Adventist gave a personal check to the pastor, asking him to purchase the Dukane. The church joined her enthusiasm by purchasing two more. This lady went through all of the lessons. She said it was the best thing she had ever done. She was baptized a few weeks ago. What is the secret? It is the working of the Holy Spirit in the lives of dedicated Christians who will use available aids to study the Word of God with those who are searching for a better way of life! Kenneth H.

VOP Series Will Open in Orosi Orosi’s orange growers know a lot about oranges—how to grow them and how to bring in a good crop at harvest time. But Seventh-day Adventists in Orosi are also concerned with another kind of harvest—souls for God’s Kingdom. A Voice of Prophecy Bible Crusade is set to open in Orosi Friday, November 4, and many are joining in the prayer of Evangelist Dick Rentfro that the work in Orosi will indeed result in a rich harvest of souls. Meetings will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays through Saturdays until December 3. “Visitors who complete a 24-lesson Bible course by the close of the series will be awarded Ways To Witness Newlyweds Serve as SMs in Caroline Islands Ponape, in the Caroline Islands, is a long way for a young California couple to move to and live for a year. Add to this the fact that the couple had been married only two days when they left for the South Pacific and one can see the situation of Peter and Ramona Roesler, student missionaries. The couple was married September 11 and left on September 13. Peter, from Salinas, has previously been in the Marshall Islands at Majuro, with Industrial Education Prof. Burton Pontynen and eight other volunteers from Pacific Union College. In March they built a church on Majuro. It was during this trip that Peter was approached about coming back to serve again. “Elder Ray James came over and gave the first Sabbath service in the church at Majuro. He said they needed a couple an 800-page copy of Smith’s Revised Dictionary,” according to Elder Rentfro. He adds that every family who attends at least half of the 17 nights will receive a large wall map entitled “Palestine in Third Dimension.” If you know of someone who shoud receive an invitation by mail, write to Evangelism Coordinator Fred Thompson, 1378 Rupert St., Reedley, CA 93654. Ways To Witness KUSF Broadcasts Dick Jewett On October 3, radio station KUSF commenced the five-night-a-week Lifeguard Problem Line with host Dick Jewett. Each program includes live religious music, a health feature, and live problem counseling with the host and invited guest. It is a problem-oriented talk show inviting a secular audience to respond if there is personal reason to be familiar with a given problem situation. The radio time is provided without cost on a public service basis. Lifeguard is sponsored by the Central California Conference. A 24-hour hotline is maintained with a neutral ground witnessing center for the follow-up ministry. KUSF is owned by the University of San Francisco and reaches a potential metropolitan audience of two million. Elder Jewett hosted a similar show in New York before coming to San Francisco. Carried by a much larger station, the eastern program led to many conversions. Underscoring his broadcast ministry, Elder Jewett writes weekly columns for three Bay of people to come over and help with our work in Guam. Just kidding around, I said ‘Oh, we’ll go.’ Then we talked about it further and later I said, ‘Well, when I get back to the States, I’ll talk to Ramona and see what she says, and let you know.’ ” Peter had no trouble talking Ramona into going. “There’s a good feeling when you’re doing the Lord’s work,” Peter says. “There are a few people over there we talked to Bakersfield, Fresno Will Host IIW Seminars Two sections of the Conference will soon benefit from an unusual experience when Elder George Van deman, director and speaker of the It Is Written telecast, and his seminar teaching team come to these two places for the first time to hold their “Revelation Seminars.’’ Scheduled for Central California are the following seminars: for the Bakersfield area, at the Municipal Auditorium on October 29; for the Fresno area at the Sheraton Inn on October 30.

"Currently, we find no inspired evidence supporting the ordination of women to the gospel ministry," President Robert H. Pierson explained.

Peter’s duty while on Ponape will be to build school rooms while Ramona teaches the lower grades of the elementary school, her first teaching job. “Right now their rooms are little tin huts with no windows,” adds Ramona. “They don’t really have classrooms over there now, just shelter from the rains.” Ramona will be teaching with Ed and Connie Reynolds, PUC graduates who are presently in charge of the school. Friends of Peter and Ramona can contact them at P.O. Box 130, Kolonia, Ponape, Eastern Caroline Islands 96941. Church members are welcome, and urged to attend. The only requirement, aside from the registration fee, is that each member bring a non-member with him. You may bring as many non-members as you desire. If you bring five or more non-members, you may attend free of charge.

Gil Steck (W6-DZC) of Angwin, California let this writer sit in on the Bible study one morning. When asked how many hams are involved in the Bible Study Net, Steck replied, “Well, it varies. Today we have 20 persons who checked in.” “Net Control,” the person who acts as moderator for the group, is Guy Walsh (W6ZTY) of Visalia. Participants call in from California, Arizona, Washington, Oregon—and once in a while, Hawaii. “There’s a three-hour time difference, so our 6 a.m. meeting would be a little early,” Steck explains. The group reports even an incident when two hams from New Zealand checked in. “That is a very rare occasion, however,” says Steck. Since the group Bible study was started, “about a dozen” hams have been brought into the Adventist Church directly through the Bible Study Net. One of them is Marge Malm-grem from Ehrenberg, Arizona. Originally studying with the Midwest Bible Study Group, “Net Control” told Marge of the group centered in California and she joined them in June, 1974. Her enthusiasm for the group led her to exclaim, “This is what I’ve been looking for for years!” Floyd Lack, a Net member in Dinuba, had a niece in Ehrens-berg to whom he asked Marge to pass on a message. Lack’s niece in turn asked Marge to attend the local Adventist church with her. “I’ve never seen such a happy bunch of happy people before,” Marge commented after the service. Marge was eventually baptized and later brought her husband into the Adventist Church, too. The West Coast Amateur Radio Bible Study Net meets seven days a week at 6 a.m. on 3974 kHz on the 75-meter band of the amateur radio spectrum. The group is studying the Bible with the help of Bible Readings for the Home Sunday to Friday. The senior Sabbath school lesson is studied on Sabbath mornings.

Ways To Witness San Gabriel Doctor Serves in Africa “Guess what? We’re finally missionaries,” writes John B. Hoehn, MD, from Mwami Hospital in Zambia, Africa. This from one who has already spent four years at Ma-luti Hospital in Lesotho might be misunderstood. But, Dr. Hoehn continues, “Maluti was a drastic change from Stateside practice, but was luxury compared with this. “Prices on commodities in Zambia are astronomical, if available. New cars are not available at any price. Most things are double U.S. prices. Gasoline is $2.15 per gallon for ethyl. “Mwami Hospital is in an old but lovely location. The buildings are overloaded and undermaintained, with some partly completed nice new sections. “The overworked young doctor and family met us. The hospital is full of poor, sick black folk and the young African students and one RN and this young doctor are trying to cope with their needs. They should have eight RNs and more doctors and lab technicians as well as electricians and carpenters and builders. “There has been a lot of heartache and discouragement here, mostly because of not enough staff. I wish God’s people could all come and see with me how important it is that our missions have an adequate treasury and an adequate supply of workers in service. “I am sure the good folk at home would place a constant sacrificial giving to our missions and many would give a good share of their poor, short lives on earth, if they could only see the difference between a hospital like Maluti, fairly well staffed, well supported by African standards, but alive and glorifying the Lord and relieving the patient African’s pain and suffering. “Contrast that with Mwami, understaffed, patched up, limping along, echoing with frustrations of the poor saints who came here and battled with all their strength against impossible conditions mostly due to understaffing and under-financing. “A real valiant young matron because of her overwork suffered almost fatal malaria and is being forced to leave by her doctors. How she has battled! After these few days here, I know why. There is something precious and good and right. It could be a lovely, alive, ministering agency for the Lord, vibrant with love for the sick who fill the wards, mighty in witness and training the Africans in service to their own people, if only laborers come for the Harvest. I’m here at the Harvest Master’s bidding, and I hope the others whom He calls will come soon, too.” Deanne, the doctor’s wife, adds a few notes, “They are redoing the old house we are supposed to be in. It now has the roof and ceilings off and looks rather derelict, but I guess it has potential; it’s just hard to see it when things are pulled apart. This house has cement floors painted red years ago, with grey showing in places. The light switches are unique—strings or cord or whatever anyone fancied hanging down from pull cords from the high ceilings. If we want hot water we go outside and build a wood fire under the water tank.” Jack (from San Gabriel) and Deanne (Hoiland from Paradise, California) are products of Adventist schools in the Pacific Union and only two of the many missionary workers overseas.

S. Richards, Sr. told Southern’s President Harold Calkins recently. “But we know that many people wait until the end of the year to make their large gifts. We are counting on some of these large donations to take us beyond last year’s offering total of $600,000. Increased costs mean we need increased gifts or the work of The Voice of Prophecy will suffer.” Elder Calkins assured Elder "Sweet, kind words are as dew and gentle showers to the soul."

There follows a one-sentence formula for the least expensive evangelism the editor knows. “If we would humble ourselves before God, and be kind and courteous and tenderhearted and pitiful, there would be one hundred conversions to the truth where now there is only one.” 9 Testimonies, 189 If you, dear Seventh-day Adventist Christian, feel guilty when someone speaks of witnessing, and you feel you are not, you can have peace. The only preparation you need is in the school of Christ, where contemplating upon Him works such transformation upon your own life, you cannot be quiet about the Source of Love and Spirit. “We are to be witnesses for Christ; and this we shall be when we grow up daily into the full stature of men and women in Christ. It is our privilege to grow more and more like Him every day. Then we shall acquire the power to express our love for Him in higher, purer speech, and our ideas will enlarge and deepen, and our judgment become more sound and trustworthy, while our testimony will have more of life and assurance.” Sons and Daughters of God, 72 Film at Temple City Will Portray Life of John W. Peterson “The Miracle Goes On,” a new dramatic film on the life of Composer John W. Peterson, will be shown at the Temple City Adventist church, 9664 E. Broadway, on Friday, October 28, at 7:30 p.m. The film traces his boyhood days in Kansas, military service as a World War II pilot flying the Burma “Hump,” and student days at Moody Bible Institute. The film closes with Ronn Huff leading a 200-voice choir, 65-piece orchestra, and guest performers in an unforgettable concert of Peterson music. Don’t miss this thrilling and inspirational film of a life that is committed to God. James E. Pedersen, Associate Pastor Temple City Church Remember, each one is not called to witness in the same way. Your witness may be in taking a bowl of soup to a sick neighbor, helping that family at the mini-ranch down the road haul in firewood, writing a letter to one—perhaps someone else’s child—away at boarding school, picking up papers accumulating next door while the neighbors are away on vacation, turning the conversation to the One Who gave you the talent when you perform well at Sabbath school. The positiveness of your witness will be reflective of your relationship with the divine. Of the children, Ellen White wrote, “The Holy Spirit of God will impress the lessons upon the receptive minds of the children, that they may grasp the ideas of Bible truths in their simplicity. And the Lord will give an experience to these children in missionary lines; He will suggest to them lines of thought that even the teachers did not have.” Counsels to Parents, Teachers, 169, 170 Each of us is as but a child. May we let Him suggest a thought for our own “Ways To Witness”—working here with the angels until we can live with them. PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1977 5 Richards of the continued interest of Southern’s members in the outreach of the gospel via radio. In fact, a completely new plan of following up radio interest is currently being discussed that, hopefully, will be implemented in the new year. “We have to capitalize on this tremendous outreach,” Elder Calkins commented just before leaving for Annual Council in Washington, D.C. 55th Anniversary Eaale Rock Set to Celebrate Sabbath, November 19, is the day Eagle Rock will celebrate its 55th anniversary.

This will give ample opportunity to recount IMEL^CW-LTM-I. Ways To Witness He Witnesses through His Business Management Taking seriously inspired counsel that “Christianity is not to be merely paraded on the Sabbath and displayed in the sanctuary; it is for every day of the week and for every place,” is Clyde Willard of Provo, Utah. “Mr. Clyde,” as the guests and patients in his convalescent centers call him, lives by the creed that, “The religion of Christ will have such an influence upon the heart that it will control the life.” And that’s the way they’ve lived since they were married— Clyde and Dorothy Willard. “We were married to Christ one week and to each other the next,” he reveals. And “married to Christ” is the way he lives and deals. “The only part of the Christian that’s to be a spectacle is his character,” Mr. Clyde believes, “but so many make it their bodies.” Probably God had his eye on Clyde even before he joined a church. He used to be concerned, he says, about his dress. “We dressed so if we went to a party on Saturday nights, the MABEL STORZ, wife of Elder Lester Storz, rode in the lead wagon of the Annual Wagon Train Retreat in Susanville. Elder Storz served as chaplain during the retreat, leading in services on two Sunday mornings and performing a wedding on Saturday night. As Welcome Wagon hostess for the Susanville community, Mrs. Storz has had a chance to speak out for her religion when any interested asked her about it. Elder and Mrs. Storz are now living in Fallon, Nevada. Conference Schedules Workers' Meeting for Reno The Fall Workers’ Meeting for the Nevada-Utah Conference will be held in Reno beginning Sunday evening, November 20, and will close Wednesday noon, November 23. This meeting comes just prior to the Thanksgiving vacation in our schools and just before the launching of the fall Ingathering campaign. Some of the speakers who will be present at our workers’ meeting are Elder George Knowles, lay activities director of the General Conference; Elder Lloyd Wyman, ministerial director of the Pacific Union Conference; Elder John Stevens, Union religious liberty director; Elder James Cunnington, Union stewardship director, plus other speakers. Special areas of study at this whole community couldn’t be talking about us on Sunday morning—either because of too little or too much.” And that’s before he visited his grandfather and attended a Sabbath school class with him, the beginning of his commitment to a church. Today he owns three convalescent centers where his daily living means more than for one whose life doesn’t touch so many others, perhaps. But Clyde Willard senses the responsibility that such an outreach brings. Clyde attended academy at La Sierra and later took a degree in business administration and accounting from Brigham Young University. In health-care business since 1952, he was first in the admitting office at Paradise Valley Hospital for three years. During the next six years he was business administrator of the Valley View Sanitarium in National City. Moving to Provo, Utah, in 1961, Mr. Clyde began his ca- session will include the work of church management, and the work of organizing the church for total action in which every member is assigned his post and responsibility of duty. In an effort to reach every home in our Conference with a meaningful contact by 1981, thorough organization is needed. If every church member within our Conference were to make even one successful contact a week, we would see the Church grow to become a stronger force for good. In order to attend this special Fall Workers’ Meeting, your pastor may have to be away from his church at least one Sabbath, and in some cases, due to the distance involved, it may involve two Sabbaths. Rest assured, the benefits to be reer in the nursing home business. There he bought and remodeled a 48-bed intermediate care home. His second facility in nearby Orem he purchased new for comprehensive and extended care. A third one in Ogden is leased to his brother and brother-in-law. From his Provo-area centers, he serves all of southern Utah. And his Christian business management is recognized amongst his Mormon patients and state officials. The governor appointed him to the State Department of Business Regulation, and he serves on the federally funded Health Service Association as well as the Comprehensive Health Planning Commission. He’s also on the governing council of American Health Care Association. Clyde has served two terms as president of the 100-member Utah Health-care Association, and he currently serves as president of the Pacific Union Chapter of ASI—the Association for Seventh-day Adventist Privately Owned Services and Industries. Another ASI member, Paul Smith, MD, is his house physician. Clyde’s pattern of life continues from Ellen White (4 Testimonies 494): Religion to be worth anything “must be recognized and obeyed in the workshop, at home, and in business transactions with brethren and with the world.” At least one of his head nurses has been impressed with that Willard Christian commitment and joined his church. Clyde Willard has dedicated the 166 beds of his Provo and Orem Willard Convalescent Homes to a specialized Christian witness. And he calls others of Adventist businessmen to the same kind of Christian commitment and daily witnessing in business. gained by your church as a result of his attending this session will prove to be worthwhile. Pray for this special meeting as our workers gather to spend these days together in study and prayer. A. G.

Robert recently said, “There would be no way that I could conduct this work if I didn’t know that God was with me. I have learned to trust in His power and inspiration. It is wonderful to see how the Lord fulfills His promises.” The publishing department in Hawaii very much appreciates the contribution that Robert is making to hasten the coming of Christ. It is indeed true that God cooperates with His workers, those who endeavor to reach souls for Christ! Earl Labry, Director Publishing Dept. Elder Davidson spoke to the ladies on “The Responsibilities of a Minister’s Wife.” Dr. Whittington held two sessions with the ladies. On the final day of the meetings, she conducted a tour through the Human Services Unit at Castle Memorial Hospital.

Already, follow up has begun with the holding of a Five-Day Plan in the office assemblyworship room last week, with 28 registered, according to Health Services Director Miller Brockett. Inquiries have been made about tuition at the Conejo Adventist School since parents learned of Adventist Christian education. In addition to exhibits by the educational superintendents, displays and personnel from Pacific Union College and Loma Linda/La Sierra were on hand in the office library. Fruits and flowers from Hawaii, arranged by Naomi Yamashiro of Kailua, a member of the Union Executive Committee, highlighted the 18 languages and cultures represented within the Western region of the Church and gave opportunity for personnel to point to the world-wide scope of the denomination. An early afternoon program on the south office steps featured state and national congressmen, personnel of broadcast media, and ladies of the Westlake Village Women’s Club with history of the valley and particularly of the acreage on which the office is located. A tree in the parking lot is the site of the first school in this part of California, its centennial to be observed later this week—again at Adventist headquarters. From 10 a.m. through 4 p.m., the Open House attracted guests until after 5—particularly those with questions. And still the inquiries come—for Bible studies, for interviews on beliefs, for information concerning schools, for answers to today’s problems. Already formal Bible studies have been arranged. And so, here is another way to witness—with an Open House—at your church, your Community Services center, your ASI business center or broadcast home, your Christian school, your own home.

Elder and Mrs. Philip Moores, manager of Television Operations and secretary to W. A. Fagal, respectively, were standing in a line at Disneyland when someone overheard them talking about television. Questions followed, and, as Mrs. Moores describes it, “When they found out where we were from, their faces lit up and one of the ladies said, ‘Oh, I was on that program!’ ” In another contact with the Moores, the person reported that their family didn’t watch television much, but after being on the Faith for Today set, they tune in Faith every chance they get. In yet another instance, a woman was on the set as a result of her friend being called to be an extra. One woman was given a schedule or some other bit of literature and was told what it was and she said, “Oh, I want something that tells me what you believe!” So, Your Friends the Adventists and Because of You were sent to her home.

One night after reading from the Bible Story, the boys came into his father’s room and said, “I have found the true meaning of life. All these other things, TV, etc., have little value compared to the love of Christ and what He has for us.” Literature evangelists in the Pacific Union ask that you remember their witness in your daily prayers.
