Canadian Union Messenger vol. 41, No. 21, October 30, 1972 A CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION The Basis of True Education By P. W. MANUEL Executive Secretary Department of Education Canadian Union Conference The Spotlight Here and There on Centuries ago as a group of students discussed the current educational philosophies for happy, successful living, they had difficulty in agreeing on which was the most important. A young lawyer in the group presented the question to the greatest Teacher of all time who gave the secret in three words "Thou shalt love . ." Modern educators and doctors all agree that love is an im- portant ingredient of life. Dr. Harold Shyrock says, "Love is uniquely important to the well-being of the human personality. Without it, personal characteristics do not develop normally". He goes on to differentiate between "love received", and "love bestowed", and emphasizes that love must be experienced from birth and as a child grows older, it is necessary to "experience both active and passive love in reasonably equal proportions in order to fulfil his purpose in life." But why all this talk about love in an issue of the MESSENGER featuring Christian education? The answer is found in the state- ment of Ellen G. White that, "Love . . . is the basis of true education." Ed. p. 16. What is Love? C. S. Lewis begins a beautiful treatise on love with the statement that "God is Love". He then classifies love as "Gift-love", and "Need love". From birth, all infants recog- nize, appreciate and long for this "Need-love". But as important as this passive love received may be, if the child is to develop normally, the mother must teach him to express love. It is a learned emotional response which is vital to a happy life. Since God is love, then if we want to understand and appre- ciate this God-given quality, we must learn to know God. This begins in the home at birth. Gradually, a mother teaches her child to express love to her, then to others in the family as the child learns to know them, and to God, the source of all love. It must be a loving, personal relationship with people the child knows. "God so loved the world that He gave . . ." If we would be like Him, we must learn to express our love by giving. A child's natural instinctive reaction is to "get". He must be allowed and encouraged to give gifts. Christian parents want to teach their children to know and to love God. They realize that much of the education in the world today is based on selfish desires to excel in mental ability, in position, in financial affairs, or in influence. These aims they know are contrary to the admonition of the apostle Paul who urges us, in First Corinthians 13 (as rendered by the Living New Testament version) to "love others" and "Let love be your greatest aim". Rom. 14:1 "The Lord bids us love Him with all the heart, and with all the soul, and with all the strength and with all the mind. This lays upon us the obligation of developing the intellect to its fullest capacity, that with all the mind we may know and love our Creator". — C.O.L. p. 333 Parents cannot do this alone. The children need Christian schools and the help of Christian teachers. If we love God supremely and our children dearly, no sacrifice will be too great to make this Love the basis of their education. In an atmosphere where God's love is appreciated and shared by the teachers, our children will continue to grow and know Him better as they share His love.

HIRSCH, Department of Education In the 1860's Ellen G. White's thoughts were turning to the role that the church could and must play in the education and training of workers for God's cause, and of the youth, in their homes as well as in church schools. Finally, in April 1872, James White and she took part in a meeting where the question of organizing an educational society was openly discussed. In June of that year, the first school to be opened as part of a denominationally sponsored program was located in Battle Creek, Michigan under the direction of Professor G. H. Bell. While this school was getting started, Mrs. White started to formulate her thoughts on education. Before the new year made its appearance, her first important statement on education was at the publishers, and appeared as the first section of a "Testimony for the Church." Referred to as "Proper Education", this statement is now found in Volume III of the Testimonies and Counsels on Education. Her opening sentence hit a positive, optimistic note. "It is the nicest work ever assumed by men and women," she wrote, "to deal with youthful minds." She then proceeded to describe the role of parents, and teachers in the education of the children. The early church leaders were already cognizant of the need of preparing workers to assume the tasks of the church. Education, they felt was important, but it should be within the framework of the goals and objectives of the great commission. "The great object of education," Mrs. White emphasized, "is to enable us to use the powers which God has given us in such a manner as will best represent the religion of the Bible and promote the Glory of God." This has been the basic premise in the building of our schools. To her contemporaries, this first school no doubt appeared as a small beginning, but in time it became part of a network of schools that was to encompass the globe. There are few flags in the world today under whose banners there are no SDA schools. In the USA and Canada practically every state and province can attest to at least one church school. The early beginnings in Michigan were to mushroom a hundred years later into a complex of schools which in the North American Division number two universities, eleven colleges, eighty-four senior academies, and over one thousand ele- mentary schools and junior academies. This is certainly a tremendous undertaking when one considers the size of our constituency and how it is spread out across the continent. Without question the factor which makes our schools unique, and which they must continue to exhibit if we are to maintain our distinctiveness, is that the Holy Spirit is an integrating force in all areas of learning in each school. This, with our acceptance of the Spirit of Prophecy, was, is, and must continue to be, the modus operandi of our education work. This occasion of a century of Adventist education in 1972, should not be used as an opportunity for us to glory in the past, but rather for us to seriously contemplate where we are today, and where we should be going in the future! There are still too many youth in our churches today who have not had the blessings of an Adventist education. Is this not challenge enough for us to seriously contemplate the future direction of our educational endeavours? VoL. 41, No. 21, OCTOBER 30, 1972 � 343 A Brief Glimpse into the Past Educationally Speaking Where It All Began In Canada In the South Stukely Church, Quebec, Canadian Adventist Education began in 1884. Miss Mary Cushing, Treasurer of the Quebec Conference, began the first church school. The upstairs became a boys' dormitory and dining room, the sanctuary was the classroom for twenty students. Now—eighty-eight years later there are 49 elementary schools and junior academies, two day academies, two boarding acad- emies, two colleges—one offering senior college work in Theol- ogy, the other a two-year nursing program. The cumulative enrolment on all three levels totals nearly 3,000. It requires a staff of 300 to care for this growing educational enterprise. To meet the capital and operating costs of the various schools and colleges, church leaders at various levels demonstrate their faith in Christian education by appropriating nearly one and a half million dollars every year. South Stukely Church in Quebec * First Church School Teacher in Ontario Miss Anna Nelson taught Ontario's first church school, at Selton, Ontario in 1899. She later became Mrs. Dybdahl. This picture was taken in her 90th year. As we went to press, we learned that she had recently passed to her rest at Loma Linda, California in her 95th year. Her sister, Mrs. Margaret Larsen and her niece, Mrs. Byron Patrick, are members of the College Park Church, Oshawa. Anna Nelson-Dybdahl at the age of 90 years Silver anniversaries are important. Twenty-five years ago, Fred MacKinnon opened the first church school in Paris, Ontario. (Another pioneer teacher was Ernest Embleton, now a dentist in British Columbia). The school began, as many * Began Teaching in 1920 In Newfoundland Sadie Oickle and her grade 7 pupil Sadie Oickle, of Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, graduated from Oshawa Missionary College in 1920, and began teaching that year in the Newfoundland Jr. Academy. Elder Percy Manuel, Can- adian Union Educational Secretary, was a 7th grade student in her class. Miss Oickle later became a nurse and worked for many years at the Washington Sani- tarium in Takoma Park. In 1958, she married Walter Gibson of Battleground, Washington. She visited her Alma Mater recently and met her former pupil at the Union Conference office. do, in the basement of the Church. But the members had not reckoned with their next door neighbour who had sold them the property on which the church was built. The school children disturbed her and she soon reminded the church that the condition of sale was that the property was to be used only for a church. The threat of legal action made it appear that the school could not continue, until Gordon Madden said, "Yes, we can. Let's buy land and build our own building." Miss Leona Alderson, was the teacher at that time. She recalls how this happened in March and by May, they were pouring the footings for the new building. She taught in the school for ten years, a record which many would do well to emulate. The spirit of unselfish service and sacri- fice in which the school began continues to characterize the membership of the Paris Church. Bill Madden is an example of this love for the school and its children. His unique fund-raising nets about $80.00 per month. He collects and sells aluminum scrap, copper and old wire. The building has been enlarged and with Mr. Gary Proctor and Miss Kathy Murphy as teachers, they continue an excellent pro- gram. Brother MacKinnon remembers the early days of the school with pride when he gets news of some of his first students, Pastor Ron Watts, of India, Dr. Reginald Madden, an Adventist Army physician in California, and Dr. Ronald Hillock, on the faculty of Loma Linda University. The highest education is that which will teach our children and youth the science of Christianity, which will give them an experimental knowledge of God's ways, and will impart to them the lessons that Christ gave to His disciples, of the pater- nal character of God. — "Counsels to Teachers", Page 46. * Silver Anniversary for the Paris Church School 344 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Mrs. M. Fleurimond gives instruction in the French language in the only French elementary school in the Canadian Union. For several years a school has been conducted in English in Montreal. Mrs. Greaves gathers one class together for instruction in this multigrade school. These are some of the students at the Regina Church School. They are flanked by Mrs. Ivan Paul, left, Mrs. William Johnson, right. their teachers, 345 Only Church School in North America in which a Choice Is Given a Student To Be Taught in Either English or French By A. N. WHITE, Superintendent of SDA Education, Ontario and Quebec Seventh-day Adventists are operating one classroom in French and one in English in a Hebrew building in the City of Montreal. This unique school is the only church school in North America where the children can choose to take their classwork in either English or French. Mrs. Sylvia Greaves uses English as the basic language of instruction in her class- room but her students take a beginner's course in French as early as the first grade. The students are of various racial back- grounds and the teacher, herself, came to Canada several years ago from the West Indies. The teacher in the French classroom is Mrs. M. Fleurimond. Mrs. Fleurimond is from France, and received her schooling at our Adventist college in Collonges. Two of her students are from Haiti and speak little or no English. One student is fluent in both English and French. Three of the children have had their schooling in the United States up to this time, and are just learning French. Only occasionally in classes such as mathematics does the teacher have to use English to help these students understand. The City of Montreal is the largest city in the world where the English and French cultures exist side by side. Though the co-existence is not always harmonious, it is hoped that the church's first venture in dual language instruction in this large city will serve as an example of the kind of harmony that exists when the Spirit of God is in control of the life. Oshawa's new $300,000.00 College Park Elementary School takes shape and students and staff are expecting to occupy the new quarters before Christmas. A full report on this school will be featured in a later issue of the CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER. The Classrooms in a Hebrew Building Where Church School Children Are Instructed in Either French or English Manitoba - Saskatchewan Builds for the Future in Christian Education By M. LLOYD ERICKSON, Superintendent of SDA Education in Manitoba-Saskatchewan The Manitoba-Saskatchewan Confer- ence believes in its youth. Thus, over the years, the church members have sacri- ficially given their time, money and ef- forts in behalf of Christian education. In today's world we feel the importance of Christian schools more than ever before. There are approximately 150 students in our five schools this year. The Winni- peg Academy has the largest enrollment and the Swift Current school has enjoyed the largest percentage of increase in en- rollment. The school plants in Manitoba- Saskatchewan can be favourably com- pared with any in Canada. Three of the Vol,. 41, No. 21, OCTOBER 30, 1972 five schools have very fine gymnasiums. A fourth school, Regina, will be adding a gymnasium to its plant very soon. The schools this year are initiating many new programs. Home Economics and Photography are being taught in sev- eral schools. Saskatoon has begun a free taxi service, so that no parent has trans- portation as an excuse for not enrolling his child in the school. Yorkton, which boasts one of the finest school buildings in the Conference, is hoping to be able to teach Grade 9 next year. The members of Manitoba-Saskatche- wan are thankful for what God has done for us in the past BUT we are looking for greater things in the future. It is our goal to get all our young people in church school. In order for this to be possible parents and all church members will have to sense the need for their young people to be taught by fellow believers. Then enrollment in the present schools will greatly increase and new schools will be started in the smaller Adventist communities of our vast Con- ference. x oricton Cnurcn Scnooi. Saskatoon Junior Academy. Members of the Alberta Conference Are Committed to their SDA Educational System By M. GRAHAM, Superintendent of SDA Education in Alberta Pedagogy. Five minutes of pedagogy. Have you ever seen this in a weekly church bulletin? The members of the Calgary S.D.A. Church have. In order to keep the goals, aims and principles of Christian education before the members, the church, under the direction of Pastor Douglas Devnich, has reserved five min- utes of the worship hour for "pedagogy." Teachers, pastors and others who are committed to their S.D.A. educational system are scheduled to give brief pre- sentations covering the principles, stan- dards, eternal benefits and relevancy of church schools. This is not intended to be an apology for or a defence of the church system or an opportunity to propagandize the mem- bers. It is an occasion to educate, instruct, and inform the believers regarding their responsibilities as stewards of the greatest trust given to man—the formation of his children. "The greatest want of the world is the want of men,—men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall." — Education 57. These men can be found, if we follow God's counsel regarding Christian educa- tion. Let us support and develop our schools in all ways possible. Anti-Smoking Team of Coralwood Academy Edmonton, Alberta Having fun before 10,000 public school students, and earning academic credit at the same time sounds like the student's dream come true! And that is exactly what it is! Back in 1968 the principal of the Coral wood Academy in Edmonton, Alberta dreamed of the possibilities of a plan which has since grown, developed, and mushroomed to unbelievable proportions! And his students have had a great time doing it during the spring of 1968! During the Spring of 1968, the Edmon- ton Central Church was privileged to have Elder Soper, Editor of the Listen maga- zine, present some materials for an anti- smoking campaign. Mr. Reo Ganson, the principal at Coralwood Academy felt this would be a great challenge for his stu- dents. Elder Soper was invited to present this program in the school. The students accepted the challenge and laid plans for raising funds to purchase the needed equipment. The fund-raising program took the form of a walk-a-thon. On June 8, 1968 the students of Coralwood Academy walked 20 miles, in 90° weather, raising approximately $1,800.00. Mr. Ganson then ordered: Modern Millie, the smoking manikin, "Countdown", a narcotics film, and kit of poisons that are found in tobacco. When school re-opened in the Fall of 1968, the Guidance 9 class began work- ing on an anti-smoking presentation. By 346 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER January 1969, the class was able to pro- duce its first presentation to the Grade 8 class of Eastwood Elementary-Junior High Public School. "Edmonton Journal" reporters and the Provincial Educational School Inspector, Mr. Earl MacDonald were present at the first presentation. The "Journal" report attracted the attention of Mr. Walter Zeigler, Guidance co-ordina- tor of the Edmonton Public School Board, who then contacted Mr. Ganson request- ing the students of Coralwood Academy to continue their presentations through the Public Schools in the City of Edmonton. Mr. Zeigler notified, by letter, the Ele- mentary and Junior High Schools of the availability of this presentation. Thus began the success of the Coralwood Academy Anti-Smoking Team. Mr. MacDonald's visit led to the accep- tance by the Department of Education of a Public Speaking elective to the partici- pating students. During the school year 1971-72, the Anti-Smoking Team presented 42 presen- tations, heard and viewed by more than 10,000 students and several hundred adults. Many compliments and best wishes were received from Principals, Staff mem- bers, and visiting adults. The Principal of McKee Elementary School stated that since he has invited the Anti-Smoking Team for the past four years there have been no smoking problems among his students. The Principal of King Edward Junior High School stated that this pre- sentation is the best program co-ordinated by the Edmonton Public School Board. The students and staff of Coralwood Academy wish to thank the parents and patrons for their support and wish to ask an interest in your prayers as the students continue this program. The three pictures above show the students of the Edmonton Coralwood Academy perform- ing in their anti-smoking program before large groups of public school students in Edmonton. The Band and Choir of Coralwood Academy, consisting of 35 students from grades 3 to 9, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Shankel, Mrs. Leona Ganson, and Mr. Reo Ganson, Director. Mr. Edwin Knopp graciously donated his bus and time in the transporting of the Band and Choir. The Band and Choir presented 18 concerts in various churches throughout central and northern Alberta with a final appearance at the Western Youth Congress at the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary, Alberta. VoL. 41, No. 21, OCTOBER 30, 1972 � 347 Christian Education Unites for Eternity—Motto at B.C. Camp Meeting By TODD C. MURDOCH, Superintendent of SDA Education, British Columbia Conference To celebrate a century of Christian Education, the British Columbia Confer- ence church members have made tremen- dous investments and sacrifices, but their rewards will be sure and certain in the lives of the many children attending church school this year. Not only will they see results of their faithfulness in this life, but as our motto at Camp Meeting put it —Christian Education Unites For Eter- nity. It was the great hero of the Philippines, Dr. Jose Rizal who said, "The youth of today are the hope of tomorrow", and we might well add, the youth in our churches today are the hope for church leadership tomorrow. Our great concern in these evil days of lowering standards is how to pre- pare our young people for the responsi- bilities which will be thrust upon their shoulders. The answer I believe is two- fold: (1) "a carefully guarded Christian home", and (2) a strong well-balanced Christian school program. In the book, The Adventist Home, page 19, the following quotation is found, "The influence of a carefully guarded Christian home in the ages of childhood and youth is the surest safeguard against the corrup- tion of the world. In the atmosphere of such a home, the children will learn to love both their earthly parents and their heavenly Father." Yes, we talk about lowering standards among the young people of the world, but the truth is that standards have practically disappeared. Therefore, it is most impor- tant for parents to operate "a carefully guarded Christian home". If parents fail in this, where shall we find the leaders and workers to finish our God given task? Then thinking of the important role of the school a startling statement is found in Ministry of Healing, page 403. "Through contact with the irreligious, the pleasure loving, and the corrupt, many, many youth lose the simplicity and purity, the faith in God, and the spirit of self- sacrifice that Christian fathers and moth- ers have cherished and guarded by careful instruction and earnest prayer". If we turn to Education, page 46, the answer to the problem of unwholesome association is found. "These schools were intended to serve as a barrier against the wide-spread corruption, to provide for the mental and spiritual welfare of the youth, and to promote the prosperity of the nation by furnishing it with men qualified to act in the fear of God as leaders and counsel- lors". The four-fold system of education as outlined in the blueprint, and providing for the physical, mental, social, and spir- itual needs of the growing youth, is the education which will carry the young through to eternity. For it is written in Christ's Object Lessons, page 330, "This is the education that will endure unto eternal life". Knowing and believing and acting upon the instructions given, five churches in the Fraser Valley District banded together, pooled their resources, and followed the Stewardship plan of systematic support for their consolidated church school which opened September 5, 1972. A full report of this Consolidated Church School is given on the next page by the principal of the school, Date Vanderwerff. The following day, September 6, two brand new church schools officially opened on beautiful Vancouver Island, with similar representation from the Con- ference Office, from the Church and the Schools. The Duncan Church had been making plans for some time to open a church school, and the inspiration and emphasis of the centennial year of Adventist Edu- cation influenced the making of the great decision this year. Fourteen were regis- tered, and another family of four is ex- pected to join the Cowichan Valley Adventist School immediately. Pastor C. S. Cooper is the enthusiastic Chairman of this School Board. Then at 2 o'clock the same afternoon, our Conference group arrived at Errington, three miles west of Parksville. Here the Nanaimo Church joined with the Port Alberni Church to establish the Arrowsmith Adventist School (named so because of the view of Mt. Arrowsmith). Twelve children enrolled the first day, and it was reported that sev- eral Adventist families are moving into the locality so that their children can receive Christian education. Pastor Horn- enchuk and the church members have worked hard and long to provide a good solid two-classroom building. The land and a large playground area was provided by Pastor Lamont Murdoch, a retired evangelist from Scotland. . Yes, it is worth all the expense of mov- ing and all the cost of Christian Education to get all the children in. May our families and our schools indeed be little heavens here, and unbroken in the earth made new. Yours for a firmer family fellowship and a stronger Seventh-day Adventist School System.

CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Report of the Opening of the Fraser Valley Academy By DATE VANDERWERFF, Academy Principal The Fraser Valley Adventist Academy was formed as a newly consolidated school serving the areas of Chilliwack, Mission, Langley, Aldergrove and White Rock in 1971, but its true opening came on September 5 of this year when the new school building was opened by Mayor George Preston of Langley. Offering classes from grades 1-10, the school opened with an enrollment of 99, an increase of 20 over last year. Situated on a seven acre lot, the school, with four basic open area rooms, has a potential of housing 120 students. Beside the regular classroom areas, there is a fifth closed-in classroom as well as small Home Economics and Industrial Arts rooms. A library research center is open to all study areas and thus easily super- vised and readily accessible. Advantages of this modern open area plant include the accessibility of research materials, overhead projectors and other teacher aids. Students are bussed by three econoline busses and a 55-passenger school bus will soon be added to the fleet. The atmos- phere of the school in general is one of a relaxed environment. With a program set up in which teachers teach the subjects for which they were trained, the students may receive instruction from as many as four teachers daily, thus adding to the effectiveness in teaching and providing variety in the student's program. Adventist education makes progress be- cause of the sacrificial spirit of the church members. This was recently demonstrated by the fact that although the members had given all to the successful completion of the building, the end was not yet. By donations, they added an electric range, a refrigerator, a television set and at a party organized by the church ladies, the Home Economics Department received a com- plete table service, small electric appli- ances, and numerous kitchen utensils. A student walk-a-thon last year pro- vided for a language listening centre, a heat copy machine, and new playground equipment. Mr. Norman Byrd was brought into the church some years ago when he re- ceived literature distributed by a young- ster of the Langley Church School. In ap- preciation, he donated nearly $20,000.00 to the project. Already the Board has discussed the prospect of adding grades 11 and 12 to the curriculum as well as adding a new classroom complex and gymnasium.

The following poem was submitted by Tod Murdoch, Superintendent of SDA Education in British Columbia Are all the children in? The night is falling, And storm clouds gather in the threatening west; The lowing cattle seek a friendly shelter; The bird flies to her nest; The thunder crashes; wilder grows the tempest, And darkness settles o'er the fearful din; Come, shut the door, and gather round the hearthstone: Are all the children in? . . . Are All the Children In? . . Are all the children in? The night is falling, When gilded sin doth walk about the streets. Oh, "at last it biteth like a serpent" Poisoned are stolen sweets. O mothers, guard the feet of inexperience, Too prone to wander in the paths of sin! Oh, shut the door of love against temptation! Are all the children in? By Elizabeth Rosser Are all the children in? The night is falling, The night of death is hastening on apace; The Lord is calling, "Enter thou thy chamber, And tarry there a space." And when He comes, the King in all His glory, Who died the shameful death our hearts to win, Oh, may the gates of heaven shut about us, With all the children in!

A large number of his former students held a reception to honour him on Saturday night. A pleasant evening was spent reminiscing about "the good old days" 1920 to 1930. At 80 years of age Professor Holm still works as a marriage counsellor and as the full-time manager for a medical clinic in California. Pictured above with President Easter- brook are three former presidents: L. N. Holm (1926-30), W. A. Sowers (1950-'58) and P. W. Manuel (1958-'68).

After spending my first few weeks with a pessimistic atti- tude, I came to love and respect the school. There is no other place I would rather be than where I am." Gregg Trupp Foxboro, Ontario Gloria Shockenmaier — Grade 6, Fraser Valley, says: "This is my first year in a Christian school. It's a hundred times • better than public school." "My desire is to learn how to live for God and to serve Him.This is why I came to a Christian school." Beverly Waters Timberlea, N.S. Craig Scott, Grade 6, Fraser Valley School, says: "Mv father moved to be near here. School is lots of fun." "Christian schools have an advantage to the person who is looking for something in life. At a school such as Kingsway, you can learn to know Christ better." Marilyn Langill Petrolia, Ontario YOUTH rSPEAK FOR CHRISTIAN EDUCATION Cindy Danielson, Grade 9, Fraser Valley, B.C. says: "Don't mind the long bus ride from Surrey to Aldergrove. i like the Christian fellowship here." Monica Maletz — Grade 9. Fraser Valley School says: "This is my first year in an Adventist school. Sure wouldn't want to go to public school again." "The Christian association, the worship every morning, the prayers and Bible classes, all help bring us closer to God and become more like Him." Keith Clifton Saskatchewan "It is nice to know that I am among peo- ple who think and have the same beliefs as I do. It's like a whole lot of kids be- longing to the same family. I have a lot of brothers and sisters, not by my earthly parents but by my heaveny parent." Sonia Piper Willowdale, Ontario "In church-sponsored schools education is better because teachers can cater to stu- dents' individual needs." Ken Gimbel Calgary S.D.A. School Miles Paley of Langley, B.C. says: "Father has moved several times to put us in a Christian school. I'm glad he's going to keep us here". (Grade 10 — Fraser Valley Academy) 352 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Financial Aids Available for Students of Canadian Union College and Kingsway College Five out of ten Adventist youth in the Canadian Union are attending non-S.D.A. schools. The excuse most frequently heard is that public elementary schools, high schools and universities are less expensive. Listed here are some of the financial aids to help meet the extra cost of Christian education: 1. Work on Campus 2. Literature Evangelist Scholarship Fund 3. Elementary Teaching Scholarships 4. Secondary Teaching Scholarships 5. Nursing Education Bursaries 6. Canada Government Loans 7. Conference Student Assistance Fund Oldtimers are surprised to discover that a student working all his way can get through college with fewer hours of labour than in the "good old days". Tuition rates have increased but student wage rates have gone up at a considerably faster pace. Students now earn up to $1.65 per hour, a far cry from the 100 to 300 per hour rates once paid to students. Some mature students with special technical skills doing "piece work", work- ing at night, or doing other demanding jobs often earn con- siderably higher rates of pay. Parents who treat their children to ego-building accounts of how they worked their way through college need to be reminded that the day of the working student is still here. Both of our Canadian colleges offer a growing variety of work opportunities with special bonuses to those who come in the spring to build up credit for the coming year. Most students have not had an opportunity to learn respon- sibility to a job and to an employer. The work experience on a college campus is as much a part of their education as their classroom studies. Here they come face to face with reality. It is a part of our Adventist philosophy of Christian education. Write now to the college of your choice about work opportunities next year. The Literature Evangelist Scholarship Fund provides a special scholarship bonus for those who sell Adventist literature to fi- nance their education. During the past summer students in Can- ada sold $103,791.88 worth of our truth filled books. Read the thrilling story of "Youth With A Vision" beginning on this page of the MESSENGER and plan to jin these youth next summer. Students who plan to teach in Canada may be eligible for a teaching scholarship of $400.00, per year for four years. Pros- pective teachers should write the educational superintendent of their local conference for details of the plan. Nursing education bursaries of $300.00 are available to students of nursing at Kingsway College-Branson School of Nursing. Work in Canada for one year following the completion of their two-year course amortizes the bursary. The cost of the course per year is little more than half the cost in Adventist colleges in the United States. Students who wish to earn their B.Sc. in nursing may do so in slightly more than two years at some Adventist senior colleges. Canada Government Loans of up to $1,400.00 per year to a maximum of $9,800.00 are available to all post-secondary students from every Province of Canada except Quebec. These bank loans are guaranteed by the Federal Government and are interest free as long as the borrower is a full-time student. The loan may be repaid in small amounts over a period of up to ten years following the termination of a student's education. Parents or guardians are not held responsible for the loan and in the event of death the Federal Government pays the bank. Applications must be made through the Province where the parents live except in the case of married students or those over 25 years of age. Loan provisions are most liberal and eligibility is based on the financial need of the student and parents for assistance. In conjunction with the Canada Student Loans several Provinces offer student aid in the form of grants. Some of these are based on financial need and some on academic achievement. The colleges or your local bank will be happy to supply information and assistance to obtain these loans and grants. As a church, our objective is to make Christian education available to every youth who seeks it. To achieve this objective every conference in Canada contributes heavily to the support of our church schools, academies and colleges. In addition, every conference has some plan for worthy student aid. If the plans outlined above do not meet your needs, consult your local pastor or write the educational superintendent of your confer- ence for information about their Student Assistance Fund. Youth With a Vision By C. K. OKUNO, Publishing Secretary, Canadian Union Conference "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams." Acts 2:17. Across the length and breadth of the continent, our youth are catching a new vision of service. Last summer, 150 young men and women from the college and academies in the Columbia Union made more than one million contacts for Christ. They witnessed on busy streets, in shopping marts, on seaside beaches and boardwalks and to theatre-going throngs. The accompanying photos show part of the group in Atlantic City, New Jersey as they sang, played together and prayed with the people. Here also you see (on the left) a policeman enroll- ing in the Bible course. A fellow-officer came on the scene and asked him what was going on. He told him and said, "You'd better sign up too". He did!! On one occasion, as crowds were waiting in line to see "Jesus Christ Super Star", they enrolled 220 persons in just two hours. By the end of the summer, in addition to the Bible course contacts, the various groups of youth had sold 311,059 copies of our truth-filled journals to people in every walk of life. Their sales totalled over $150,000. In the Potomac Conference, twenty-five young people whose average age was 16, sold $30,000 worth of magazines. More than half of this amount went toward their Christian education; but most important of all, they learned how to witness for Jesus. In these last days, there is a famine in the land for the Word of God. The people in the booming population explosion of Canada present the same desperate need and offer the same grand opportunity as elsewhere. Wouldn't you be proud if your son or daughter went out with this same vision? During his first visit to Canadian Union College, the writer spoke to the students during their chapel period. Afterward, ten young men and one young woman expressed a positive interest in the work. Plans are now in progress to visit Kingsway College and the schools and academies in the Union. Campus Clubs for fellowship and training will be organized and activated. This summer, our youth will help, we pray, to "Light Canada with Literature, that Canada may know". "The Lord has instituted a plan whereby many of the students in our schools can learn the practical lessons needful for success in after life . . . The education obtained in this practical way may properly be termed higher education." — C.M. 30, 33. Won't you pray for us and encourage the son or daughter within your gates? We know you will. May God bless you as you do. ?"44.`)'44~%,4'teel-e-Olt~x~4~-40-40')<.•-40x~x.6'ut~-4.0'ite>>t.0"u4x~xe.,KG`tG•x•dx4"04>ti,'et&v.0•KG'at.9" Thank You, Loma Linda Foods By P. W. MANUEL, Executive Secretary, Department of Education Canadian Union Conference MESSENGER readers are indebted to Loma Linda Foods for the attractive colour in this issue commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Adventist Education. As vegetarians, we are grateful for the nourishing, healthful foods the Company has provided for so many years. Many will be happy to learn that the popularity and sale of Loma Linda Foods has more than doubled in Canada since 1967. This grow- ing acceptance by Canadians of Loma Linda Foods has been reflected in continually increasing contributions to Adventist education in Canada. These contributions are a percentage of their food sales in Canada. So, whenever you purchase Loma Linda food in Canada you are helping to improve work op- portunities and educational facilities for our own Canadian youth. The amounts donated to Adventist education are as follows: 1966 $2,251.14 1969 7,983.65 1967 5,015.55 1970 10,053.07 1968 6,516.60 1971 11,000.00 $42,820.01 A large modern industrial building on the Kingsway College campus houses the Golden Rule Bindery, the College Press and the Vocational Arts Department. Here students earn ap- proximately $60,000.00 each year to help pay their tuition, room and board. The building is still named the Loma Linda building since it was provided largely through the generosity of Loma Linda Foods. So we want to say a great big THANK YOU to the manage- ment of Loma Linda Foods for their continuing interest in Canadian Christian Education. 9.x.0-4.06.x.40•1‘0-A~',=~x-0-44,-0" ,-0')%ein,~xx.6.1e4.x.9•x~..6,1c.G"w-G,,,Olc.6%-...,%0'x.~ 354 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Branson Hospital Five- day Plan Organization presents An Outstanding Lyceum Anita Joyce Pankratz (Miss Illinois, 1971) IN TWO UNFORGETTABLE APPEARANCES ANITA PANKRATZ, beautiful and accomplished musician and stage per- sonality, has given nearly 200 performances this year in the U.S. She will combine talents for this benefit program with her brother Raye, presently professor of strings at Wheaton College, Ill.

Washington, D.C. 20012 British Columbia New Westminster Field School Evangelist Verne Snow conducted a very successful field school in New West- minster during the summer. The first part of the meetings were held in the Massey High School auditorium. They were then transferred to the church. Attendance was good throughout. George Knowles, Canadian Union Evangelist, taught the classes for the eight seminary students. It was first planned to hold two concurrent meetings in the Van- couver area. This had to be dropped be- cause Pastor Knowles was commissioned to prepare the new training manual for laymen. With speaking for one series eliminated, Pastor Knowles had time to teach the classes and work on the man- ual at the same time. The students gave excellent help in the crusade. Their wives were singled out for special commendation. Evangelists Knowles and Snow felt that their ladies gave excellent support. IT IS WRITTEN had been shown in the area the previous six months. The staff felt that at least half of the interests came from this source. Sixty-one were added to the church during the crusade. A number of good interests are still being followed up.

MISSION Canadian United Evangelism Every Minister — Every Member 12 By GEORGE E. KNOWLES, Ministerial Secretary Canadian Union Conference Now is the time for every church in Canada to lay plans that will make Mission '73 even more successful than Mission '72. Such planning is the joint responsibility of the pastor, church board, and lay activities council. Here are some items that should be considered: 1. Every member of the church should have some part in the soul-winning pro- gram of the church. 2. Every member should make use of tracts and enrollment cards. 3. Sabbath School and the worship service should be planned with visitors in mind so that guests will want to return the next Sabbath. 4. Every visitor should receive a Sabbath dinner invitation. 5. Every member should be willing to sacrifice time and comforts to minister to non-members. 6. Every car should be dedicated to missionary service in providing transportation for those without cars. 7. Every member should seek a revival in his own experience. Elder Gallant's hobby is antique col- lecting, and he and his family have spent satisfying and relaxing time in this pur- suit. Elder Gallant is replacing Elder Gar- net Williams who is still recuperating from an automobile accident in which he was seriously injured last December. A recent MESSENGER carried a message of greetings from Elder Williams who is recovering in a miraculous way. May the Lord bless Elder Gallant as he directs his many and varied respon- sibilities. New Departmental Secretary for Manitoba- Saskatchewan Conference By W. E. KUESTER, Executive Secretary, Departments of Lay Activities, Sabbath School, PR and Radio-TV, Canadian Union Conference Stanley Harry Gallant, recently-elected as a departmental secretary of the Mani- toba-Saskatchewan Conference, is truly a "boy come home," as he was not only born in Canora, Saskatchewan, but spent most of his earlier days of ministry in that conference. Elder Gallant has arrived in Saskatoon to take up his responsibilities as director of the Lay Activities, Sabbath School, Public Relations, and Radio-Television Departments. He began his work of service as a layman, some time later becoming a con- ference Bible worker in the British Col- umbia Conference. From there he served as a minister in the Alberta, Manitoba- Saskatchewan and Ontario Conferences. During these years of service Elder Gallant averaged seven baptisms each year. At the same time he was responsible for the building of the church at Bonny- ville, Alberta. A church was purchased under his ministry at Vermillion, Alberta and a church school was built during his pastorship in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. Elder Gallant's wife, Pauline, is also a "home girl," for she was born in Price- ville, Saskatchewan. They have two chil- dren; Matthew, who received his Bach- hiaer ana Mrs. S. rt. Gallant elor of Science degree this past year at Andrews University in the field of In- dustrial Arts, and is married and has twin girls; and Joanne,who is married to Ray Hetland and taking her last year in nursing will receive her Bachelor of Science degree. • Connie Scobie being baptized by Pastor Uniat in Lake Astonin. On Sabbath, August 19, just as the sun was sinking in the West, the members of the Edmonton South Church were made extremely happy as they witnessed the baptism of Sister Connie Scobie in beau- tiful Lake Astonin in the Elk Island Na- tional Park, some 25 miles east of Ed- monton. Many people holidaying in the park also witnessed this impressive scene as they drew closer to our group to join in the singing of hymns and listen to the Word of God expounded by the pastor. After the baptism several came to us to express their appreciation of the im- pressive scene they had witnessed. May the Lord bless Connie as she be- comes a member of the Edmonton South S.D.A. Church and may her life be a mighty witness of the saving power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. P. E. UNIAT, Pastor Edinonton South Church VoL. 41, No. 21, OCTOBER 30, 1972 � 357 Outstanding Experiences from Northern Ontario Voice of Prophecy Scores Again L. R. KRENZLER, Radio-TV Secretary, Ontario and Quebec Conference Recently, in Red Lake Ontario, just about 400 miles north- west of Thunder Bay, Elder and Mrs. H. Kenaston went to the lakeside with Sister Jerry Dykin for her baptism. Sister Dykin was visited about six years ago by a literature evangelist who sold her the Bible Stories, Desire of Ages, and gave her the first two lessons of the Voice of Prophecy. She described the literature evangelist as having a crippled arm and going door to door in the summer His name is not known, possibly Brother Joe Obenhoof. She began reading the books, enrolled in and completed the Bible School lessons. Sister Dykin continually studies her Bible and has accepted the new truths that have come to her. She also began listening to the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast from Winnipeg and can hardly wait to hear this program each week. Like many others, she is very disappointed when she is unable to pick up the broadcast because of poor reception due to the distance from Winnipeg. Since that literature evangelist visited her door she has com- pleted about four Voice of Prophecy Bible Courses. Pastor Kenaston was invited to visit her after arriving in the Ontario Conference. It is understood that there has not been a minister or a Seventh-day Adventist who has visited her in all that time until Pastor Kenaston came and prepared her for baptism. There are no other Seventh-day Adventists around her. She is now in the family of God as a member of the Ontario Con- ference Church. She would appreciate the prayers of God's people and anyone who would wish to write her may write to Margaret Dykin, P.O. Box 641, Red Lake, Ontario. fift," Sister M. Nordstrom of Dryden started listening to the Voice of Prophecy broadcast from Thunder Bay several years ago. Her husband sent in for the Bible Course lessons and encour- aged her to study with him. They have finished several courses since that time. Pastor V. Shipowick, a former pastor of Thunder Bay had called on them. Sister L. Smith, while In- gathering in that area and Brother Arnold Anderson, a liter- ature evangelist, also called on them. Pastor Kenaston is in regular contact with them now. Sister Nordstrom finally de- cided to step out and unite with the Conference Church on Pro- fession of Faith. She would appreciate our prayers. Brother Nordstrom is on the board of deacons of another church and has not made his decision to meet with her. She is all by her- self. Pray for her husband that he too may step out and follow further light to study. She continues to listen to the Voice of Prophecy broadcasts and is continuing to study her Voice of Prophecy lessons. She would appreciate letters of encourage- ment from our members by writing to Mrs. M. Nordstrom, 155 Pitt Street, Dryden, Ontario. She has visited the Thunder Bay Church. About twenty years ago Mrs. M. Neilson began listening to the Voice of Prophecy radio program. She has continued lis- tening to the broadcast when the reception was good enough. Later she enrolled in the Bible Course and has completed about four or five courses since that time. Pastor V. Shipowick visited her up in the country about sixty-five miles west of Fort Fran- cis and three hundred miles west of Thunder Bay. She con- tinued to study the Bible lessons and tried to serve the Lord. Late this spring Pastor Kenaston visited her and encouraged her 358 to step out and unite with the church. As he went over the points of doctrine with her in preparation for baptism he dis- covered she understood the message and was nearly ready for baptism. Sister Neilson began attending the International Falls Church, sixty or seventy miles away. She is not able to attend church very often. During the summer she was baptized and now is a member of the International Falls Seventh-day Adventist Church, just over the border from Fort Francis, in the United States. She too, would appreciate our prayers and letters by writing to Mrs. M. Neilson, R.R. #1, Stratton, Ontario. Mrs. Silbur Jackson, Box 6, Gp. 28, R.R. #1, Dryden, On- tario, began listening to the Voice of Prophecy radio program from Thunder Bay about three years ago. She was contacted by Sister Morton, an isolated Seventh-day Adventist living about eight miles away. Sister Morton continued to encourage Sister Jackson while she continued her Voice of Prophecy lessons. Pastor Kenaston was visiting in Dryden with Sister Morton who asked the pastor to stop and visit Mrs. Jackson. He agreed, even though he was in a hurry to meet with the brethren in Kenora that Sabbath afternoon. Dryden is about two hundred miles from Thunder Bay. The pastor found Sister Jackson to be a lovely lady and very much interested in the Bible. By this time she had completed several Bible Courses from the Voice of Prophecy. After the first course she found she could no longer read. She was anxious to continue studying but was gradually going blind. Week by week she continued listening to the Voice of Prophecy program on the radio. She also began studying Braille. When she was able to read the Braille she continued her Voice of Prophecy Bible Course in the Braille language. She was thrilled and had decided to follow in the light God had given her. She received materials from the Christian Rec- ord Braille Foundation, Lincoln, Nebraska. Pastor Kenaston was the first conference worker to visit her. As he went over the doctrines of the church he discovered she was already an Adventist and believed all the teachings of the church. He encouraged her to be baptized. She was thrilled at the thought of being part of the Remnant Church. She could not wait until she could go into the water. She began keeping Sabbath the day of the pastor's visit. In August, 1972, she made a trip to Thunder Bay. She wrote and asked if she could visit the church and be baptized when she was coming to visit her eye doctor. She was baptized and is now a member of the Con- ference Church. "re There are others in northwest Ontario who need to be bap- tized. These wonderful people are continuing to study the Voice of Prophecy Bible Courses and listen to the broadcasts. The pastor is not able to visit these people very often because of the distances from Thunder Bay. The Holy Spirit is working with many through the Voice of Prophecy and we must pray for the rapid advance of the gospel. These souls are happy in the Lord. Pastor Kenaston has several more who are studying the Bible and looking for- ward to uniting with God's remnant people. May God bless them all. This follow-up work is greatly appreciated.

The Columbia river is only a few hundred yards in front. Brother William Tilstra and his daughter at the _ organ he made for the new church. Sabbath, September 9, 1972, was dedi- cation day for the first Trail Church. In 1891, the John Reith family moved from Ontario to Pend Orielle near what be- came the city of Trail. The Reith family shortly accepted the advent faith. Ever since that time the message has been on the ebb and flow in this area. One of the problems is that Trail is largely a com- pany town. It is dominated by COMIN- CO, the western world's largest smelting and mining concern. Sabbath problems, thus, were very severe through the years. The Sam Stickles moved there for a few years. Pastor Carl Weis of the Gen- eral Conference Lay Activities Depart- ment held his first evangelistic crusade here. Many others came and went. In 1950, the Trail Company was or- ganized into a church. In 1970, Pastor Popowich moved into the Trail District. That year the church was bought. The building was completely renovated and redecorated.

One of the highlights of the day was the historical presentation by Brother and Sister William Reith, both over 90 years of age.

Mr. and Mrs. August Wetter at 65th Wedding Anniversary open house. Brother Wetter came to the Leduc Dis- trict as a boy on May 10, 1894. He and Ernestina Reiman were married in Leduc in 1908, and farmed until their retire- ment twenty-two years ago. For over seventy years the life of this revered couple has centered around their beloved church. Throughout this time they have never come late to Sabbath School or church even in the early years travelling four miles through snowdrifts by sleigh and a team of horses. "Coming late is only a luxury for those living close to the church," Brother Wetter often says. Perhaps this is one reason why he has held nearly every office in the church at one time or another. They firmly be- lieved and practiced tithe paying through the years even though the struggling hard times and many crop failures often re- sulted in small amounts from the sale of eggs and milk. Among others, "Faith For Today" and the "Voice of Prophecy" regularly receive financial support from them. Leduc pastors usually went Ingathering with Brother Wetter with pop-eyed un- belief as businessmen reached for dona- tions as soon as they entered the door. When his children were tiny tots they were taught that Ingathering was part of the program of the church. Therefore Brother Wetter never asked his family to go soliciting — this was something they were expected to do without being asked. One daughter home for her wed- ding was invited to go Ingathering the day before the ceremony — and she went, of course! The spirit of this couple is seen each year at Investment time, too. Two years ago — when he was 84 and she 80 — they picked about 150 pounds of wild low-bush blueberries for their investment project. Old-fashioned hospitality has been a way of life for the August Wetters. From hungry Indian fishermen passing their door to equally ravenous Adventist preachers — by the dozens — they share what they have, and it has never tasted better! All eight children were home for the anniversary celebration. Those living in the Leduc area are Mrs. James Durst- ling, Mrs. Reinart Littman, Mrs. Ed- ward Steinke, Mr. Herb Wetter, and Mrs. David Steinke. Three daughters present from out of town were Mrs. George MacLean, New York; Mrs. Ruth Tam, California; and Mrs. Maxine Roper, Washington. Twenty-seven grand- children and thirty-four great-grandchil- dren also rejoiced in this happy occasion. Among the guests who greeted Brother and Sister Wetter were: J. D. Henderson, M.L.A. of Devon; Mayor William Lede of Leduc; former Mayor Fred Johns of Leduc; Pastor A. W. Kaytor, President of the Alberta Conference; and Pastor Carl Wessman of Leduc. A bridesmaid of sixty-five years ago — Mrs. Tofelia Reske of Botha, Alberta was also pres- ent. Reflections on the useful and Christ- centered lives of Brother and Sister Aug- ust Wetter confirm the truth of Psalm 92: 13, 14: "Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age." It is cheer- ing to note that a helpful lay ministry continues, even if less actively, to the very end of life and beyond. How true the words: "Let not the follower of Christ think, when he is no longer able to labour openly and actively for God and His truth, that he has no service to render, no reward to secure. Christ's true witnesses are never laid aside. In health and sickness, in life and death, God uses them still. — Acts of the Apostles p. 465. Vermilion District Baptism May 27, 1972 found the churches of Vermilion, Vegreville and Innisfree to witness the baptism of Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Iris Suruk, and Mr. Harry Thomas. Bap- tismal services were conducted by Al- berta Conference evangelist, Elder Monty Jones. The three people giving their hearts to their Lord were prepared for baptism by Pastor Johnson. Sister Wilson was the fruitage of the "Reach Out For Life" program held at Mannville, Al- berta. Thanks to the labours of the Ver- milion Church laymen a soul was won to Christ. J. C. JOHNSON, pastor Vermilion * � * � * Newfoundland Baptism in St. John's Richard Hapgood Richard Hapgood is enjoying member- ship in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in St. John's. He was baptized on August the 19th. He follows his wife in baptism. When she was baptized, he was not yet quite ready because he was still smoking. But thanks to the power of the Saviour and saving grace, he got complete vic- tory. He tells us that he is feeling much better and that he has enjoyed so much better health since he has been baptized and joined the church. May the Lord's richest blessing rest upon Richard Hapgood and his wife in their membership and ministry in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. R. A.

Leduc Couple 65 Years Married 360 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Canadian Family Leaves for Service In Borneo THEDA KUESTER, Reporter, Canadian Union Conference Many friends all across Canada will remember, and be interested in news con- cerning Elder and Mrs. Clarence Goertzen and their family, who have worked in both eastern and western Canada. For the past several years they have been living in Berrien Springs, Michigan where the entire family have been study- ing, and where Elder Goertzen has been head of the Bible Department of the Andrews University Junior Academy. A letter has been received from the Goertzens in which they write, ". . . We have accepted another call to the mission field, this time to Sarawak, Borneo. "I (Clarence) am to be principal and business manager of the Ayer Manis Academy with about 200 boarding stu- dents, replacing C. A. Ortner. This school is for the Dyaks, the natives of Borneo. The Sunnyhill school in Kuching, where Elder Aldridge was principle, is for the Chinese. "Two of our girls will stay here. Lila, now Mrs. Tidwell; and Lois, a senior in College; but Treva, our baby aged 15, has already left for Far Eastern Academy. "If you wish to pass this news on to our fellow Canadians via the MESSENGER, here is a picture of the three of us who are going. Clarence left October 5 and Alice will be leaving about November 17 when she finishes her comprehensive for her Master's Degree from Andrews. We are selling our things so that when the visas come through we will be ready to go — possibly within three weeks from now. Dear Readers and Listeners: A letter and booklet have come from Elder J.

W. E. KUESTER, Secretary Radio-TV Department Canadian Union Woodstock Fall Fair "The Seventh-day Adventist Church welcomes you" was the big, beautiful caption that caught the eye of the throng who attended the Woodstock Fair, Aug- ust 25-29. Smoking Sam had a message to tell and an invitation to folks to at- tend the next Five-day Plan to Stop Smoking. Thousands signed their names for the FREE Golden Treasury of Bible Stories draw. Eleven people started in the Bible Says lessons, and many youth requested Wayout material, while others were drawn to the Reach Out For Life mate- rial. The Heritage Family music gave a pleasant and soothing effect to the at- mosphere around the booth. Uncle Arthur's Bible & Bedtime Stories, Desire of Ages, and You and Your Health, at- tracted many people. What a thrill it was to hear so many favourable comments from happy customers. One man who pur- chased our books about ten years ago said, "I don't belong to this church but if you want the truth you will find it here." The nearby booths were favourably impressed. A Tupperware representative dropped over often. She had taken the Daniel and Revelation Course many years ago, therefore she had many questions to ask. I enrolled her in the course again. We have many names of interested folk to call on. The seed has been planted and now we anticipate a beautiful har- vest. Pray for us. MRS. RUTH VANESS, PR Secretary Woodstock S.D.A.

CARLSON, Marketing Director, Loma Linda Foods VoL. 41, No. 21, OCTOBER 30, 1972 � 363 The Loma Linda Foods Story (Continued) Loma Linda Foods began as a small supply department of the then Loma Linda Sanitarium in 1906. It operated in a small way at Loma Linda for many years, making a variety of crackers, baked goods, and some vegetable protein foods. In 1938 its large manufacturing facility was built in Riverside, California. After this plant was completed, the company branched out more extensively into the manufacture of cereals and a number of other products and extended its heretofore limited distribution to food stores throughout the country. Presently, aside from its Riverside, California manufacturing plant, the company maintains a manufacturing plant in Mount Vernon, Ohio. This locale serves as a distribution point for the company's Eastern Division of the U.S. and Canada. Sales offices are located in strategic areas throughout the United States and Canada and distributors function in some of the populous areas of the East where the company, in some marketing areas, does not maintain its own sales offices. In Canada, the company maintains sales personnel in Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; and in Willowdale, a suburb of Toronto, Ontario. The company employs in excess of 300 administrative, sales, and production workers in the manufacture and distribution of over 40 high-quality food products. Approximately one-half of its sales personnel are assigned to the company's general line division which handles most of the items manufactured such as cereals, gravies, beans, dates, vegetable protein foods, olives, et cetera. The remaining sales personnel are engaged in retailing Soyalac to the medical profession throughout the United States * and Canada. This is largely an infant feeding formula which is used for regular and problem-feeding infants, and in other allergic and asthmatic conditions as prescribed by physicians. In 1971 the company enjoyed the greatest sales in its history and indications are that the current year will exceed all previous sales records. There is a marked increased interest in the veg- etable protein field as has been evidenced by newspaper, maga- zine, and other accounts in recent months. The company is following this development in the food industry with great interest and many of its items are now served in cafeterias and other food service establishments desiring meatless entrees. Loma Linda Foods, as in any enterprising food industry, must constantly be aware of the necessity of upgrading its extensive line of food products and introducing new ones. This it is endeavouring to do. Women are the purchasing agents for America's biggest institution, the home. More of them are working outside of the home. Thus, less time is spent in food preparation and the growing trend is towards food products that are quickly and easily prepared. Products recently introduced are Granola, Vita-Burger — a textured vegetable protein, and a new variety of Wheat Germ with date sugar crystals. Others will follow shortly. Loma Linda Foods is appreciative of the continued co- operation and interest which it receives from the Adventist constituency. You will find our products in many specialty food stores throughout the dominion of Canada. If your particular store does not handle them, a word to the manager would be appreciated. Who's Who at Loma Linda Foods E. L. Becker, general treasurer of Loma Linda Foods, is a C.P.A., and is well known in denominational financial circles. He as- sumed his responsibilities at Loma Linda Foods in 1970. R. R. Bietz, vice president of the General Conference, and chairman of the board of Loma Linda Foods. C. P. Miles, general manager of Loma Linda Foods, pictured at the entrance of the company's headquarters office in Riverside, California.

In this giant cooker is contained the wheat to which is added malt, brown sugar and other tasty ingredients. The cooker ro- tates for approximately one and one-half hours. After the contents have been thoroughly blended, the wheat is passed to a cooling chamber. BELOW: After the wheat has been cooled, it passes through two large rotating drums and drops between these two giant flaking rollers. Each roller weighs in excess of 5,000 pounds. This process is used to convert the .whole kernel of wheat into flake form. LEFT: From these flaking rol- lers, the wheat goes to a cereal press which forms the distinctive shape of Ruskets. The individual Ruskets biscuits are automatic- ally placed on trays and begin their journey through a giant three-story oven. Within this oven Ruskets travel a distance of almost one-quarter mile, then emerge to go through the auto- matic packaging equipment. RIGHT: Just before the Ruskets packages go through their final sealing process, a prize is in- serted in each package. After the cartons are sealed they are then placed in cases to be shipped to food stores throughout the Can- adian Union Conference.

Soyalac, a Medically Oriented Food LEFT: Soyalac and other related soybean products such as Soyagen, et cet- era, go through various manufacturing processes including homogenization to break down fat glob- ules for better assimila- tion. The product is stan- dardized and then passes to these large cooling tanks, each having a 3,000 gallon capacity. RIGHT: This filling ma- chine fills Loma Linda Soyalac cans at the rate of 180 per minute. They then go to a rotary pres- sure cooker and finally through an automatic case sealer. From the case sealer, the cases of Soyalac are palletized and stored in warehouse facilities before being shipped to strategic distribution locations throughout the United States and Canada. Soyalac is ethically promoted through the medical profession. This photo shows a medical exhibit — one of many used by Loma Linda Foods. Medical products personnel of the company attend scores of America's outstanding medical conventions each year. LEFT: J. E.

A fleet of large Loma Linda trucks transport foods from both its Riverside, California, and Mount Vernon, Ohio, plants to the com- pany's warehouses and distribution centres throughout North America. To date Loma Linda Foods has paid into the Sabbath School Investment Fund over $276,- 000. This photograph shows children in one of the Sabbath School divisions putting their labels in the label-saving box which is available to all Sabbath Schools. NOTE: Part of the Seventh-day Ad- ventist health philosophy is attention to nutrition and the development of food products from non-meat sources. Loma Linda Foods is a church-operated manufacturer and supplier of many quality food prod- ucts. Werner E. Carlson, director of marketing, detailed some facts about the company. His account and the accompanying pictures have given a glimpse into the operation of this fast-growing business. VoL. 41, No. 21, OCTOBER 30, 1972 � 367
