Book Review There's no end of good things to listen to and look at these days. The quality and quantity of books com- ing from all three publishing houses is so impressive, we hardly know where to begin. Every church member will be in- spired by the new biography of one of our outstanding literary figures, Elder F. D. Nichol. His Initials Were F. D. N., by Kenneth and Miriam Wood, is the dynamic life story of a dynamic individual. Though written by two of his closest personal friends, the book lacks the senti- mental emotionalism one might ex- pect. A feeling of simplicity, objec- tivity and wry humor, so characteris- tic of the man himself, pervades the entire book. A Review and Herald re- lease. * � * * Also new in the biographical cate- gory is The Unlikeliest Hero, by Booton Herndon. This is the story of Desmond Doss, World War II Congressional Medal of Honor win- ner whose philosophy of conscien- tious objection earned him both ridi- cule and highest praise during his military career. Loyalty is the most outstanding and noticeable attribute of Doss's life story—loyalty to his buddies, to his country, but most of all to God and His church. Herndon is well known in de- nominational publishing circles for his book, The Seventh Day. His style is fast-moving and lively. His own comments about Doss reveal the spirit of the book: Just being in his company "was an inspiring experi- ence. It would be wonderful indeed if I could hope that just a smidgen of his faith, courage, and dedication rubbed off on me." From Pacific Press. * * * Possess Your Soul In Patience, by Arthur Mountain, is a unique mis- sion experience. Borneo is an island shrouded with the mysteries of spir- itualism and grotesque heathen prac- tices. Mountain's own account of his efforts to spread the Christian gospel in this forbidding atmosphere make interesting reading.

The Wedgwood Trio, three young men from Southern Missionary College, have made themselves quite a repu- tation both in the United States and Europe. This is their third LP album, their first on the Chapel label. Their treatment is strictly in the "folk- gospel" vein and their arrangement of both known and unknown songs is a refreshing difference. PAULA BECKER Assistant Booh Editor Southern Publishing Association Book Report Recently your editor received a copy of a book by Booton Herndon dealing with the life of Corporal Desmond Doss. Brother Doss has ap- peared at many of our young peo- ple's meetings around North Ameri- ca because of his service to his country during the war as a medic. Booton Herndon is not an Advent- ist, but has written a book very fa- vorable to us. This book, entitled The Unlikeliest Hero, is another book fa- vorable to Adventists. It tells the story of Desmond Doss' life and puts a very convincing religious format to the story in strong support of Sev- enth-day Adventist basic doctrine. I highly recommend it. It is an in- spirational book for young people and a book that should be in the libraries in our homes. The volume is well documented and well worth your sending $3.25 to your Book and Bible House for this new book. L. H. NETTEBURG Notice for Servicemen Many inquiries are received by the National Service Organization from Adventist servicemen concerning the problem of regular drill in reserve and National Guard units during the hours of the Sabbath.

However, they could be called for 15 days annual summer training. Men so assigned now will be released as soon as practical but at least by 1 December 1967. Those who have completed at least two years active duty without Vietnam service will no longer be assigned involuntarily to ready re- serve units for regular drill, unless vacancies for their specialties can- not otherwise be filled. Adventist servicemen in this cate- gory of two years active duty with- out Vietnam service and who have a Sabbath problem with regular drill where they are now assigned should continue to request assignment to a control group or other assignment which has no regular drill on the Sabbath. The basis for this request would be their inability to attend regular drill due to their religious be- liefs. CLARK SMITH, Director Voice of Prophecy Set Aside September as Prayer Month The Voice of Prophecy has desig- nated September as Prayer Month, in accordance with the command given in Isaiah 55:6 which states: "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near." During this month there will be special prayer services for those who write in requesting prayer, and daily vigilance by volunteer staff mem- bers who will read the requests and have prayer for a period each morn- ing, noon and evening. This decision to set apart a speci- fic month for prayer emphasis re- sulted from a discussion by the leaders of the religious radiobroad- cast concerning the problems in the world today which are facing many listeners and supporters of the Voice of Prophecy. These men decided that only by the grace of God can these burdens be lifted. God can bring spiritual comfort, as indicated by this letter from a formerly discour- aged wife in Oregon: "God answered your prayers for my husband. He was baptized this month." God can also bring physical heal- ing, as He did in the case of a lis- tener who wrote from New York: "Thanks for your kind words and for the blessings you send me of Jesus. I'm sure all the prayers that The Voice of Prophecy had for me did a lot of good to make me better. Everyone here in the hospital thought I would never walk again, but now I walk all by myself. They call me 'the miracle.' " God can bring joy to parents by touching the hearts of wayward or unthinking children, as a Missouri parent wrote: "I hardly know how to put into words how much I thank you for your prayers in behalf of the young girl 1 wrote you about. Yes, God surely did know where she was! Be- fore I received a letter from you I had heard from this dear girl. I know what it is like to shed tears of joy!" Business problems are eased by the grace of God, as in the case of a young Oklahoma girl: "My mother wrote in to your office a while back for special prayer that I would be able to get a local job with Sabbaths off. I am happy to tell you that I have been working as a bookkeeper here at a hotel for about a month, and I do get Sabbaths off!" "Have no anxiety about anything, but make all your wants known to God in prayer and entreaty, and with thanksgiving." Philippians 4: 6. Good- speed. The Perpetual Subscription List WHAT IS IT? The perpetual (continuous renew- al) list contains the names of be- lievers who wish to receive one or more church journals such as the Review, Instructor, Guide, Worker, etc., without interruption from year to year. WHAT IS ITS ADVANTAGE TO YOU? 1. Regardless of the time of year that you begin your perpetual sub- scription, you will be able to save since you will be entitled to the low- est current campaign rate. 2. You do not have to repeatedly renew your subscription each year and go to the trouble of remember- ing to notify your church Lay Activ- ities Secretary (Missionary Secre- tary) or the local Book and Bible House Manager. 3. You will be billed each year at the lowest rate before your enroll- ment expires, thereby avoiding the possibility of missing a single issue of your favorite periodical. 4. You may cancel at any time. In other words, your initial consent does not constitute a lifelong pledge or agreement. (Perpetual really means continuous or automatic re- newal.) HOW CAN YOU BECOME A PERPETUAL SUBSCRIBER? Just ask your church Lay Activi- ties Secretary (Missionary Secre- tary) or local Book and Bible House Manager to be placed on the per- petual (continuous renewal) list. You will be given the lowest avail- able rate and will enjoy the satis- faction of knowing you are making a fine investment at minimum ex- pense.

GRAY, PR Secretary, South Dakota Conference (LEFT) A challenge to a deeper study of God's Word was presented by Peter James, Bible Teacher from Union College. His morning and evening presentations of the great Bible prophecies provoked many thoughtful discussions am 3ng South Dakota ministers. His knowledge of the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy encouraged a revival of study habits. (RIGHT) The South Dakot.t Conference workers are blessed with an abundance of musical talent. Elders Patzer, Kemper, and Wagner led out in the musi^ program and planned for the many musical treats. Brenda Kern per, Debby Gray, and Beverly Parmele (left to right) presented some of the "new sounds" of the younger generation in our church music. (LEFT) Everyone enj -wed the opportunity of playing together. Opportunity was given for swimming, canoeing, archery, hcrse shoes, volleyball, and leisurely trips throughout the Black Hills. (RIGHT) Devotions were presented by Perry Pedersen, North- ern Union Departmental Secretary. His challenge to a more Christ-like character was greatly appreciated. Other devotions were presented by Gordon Rhodes, Peter Sam3grad, and F. W. Bieber. (LEFT) All ministers and families tcok part in the necessary camp duties. Our genial Sioux Falls pastor, W. K. Mansker, displayed almost as much enthusiasm while washing pots and pans as he did while playing volley ball. (RIGHT) The oppor- tunity to play and pray together was greatly appreciated by all Morning prayer bands drew hearts together in a renewed deci- sion to finish the work in South Dakota. Certainly our Lord's suggestion to "Come ye apart - and rest awhile" has been wisely followed by our cmference president in planning this minister's retreat.

"The Modern Mount of Blessing" The members of the South Dakota Conference are grateful for the beau- tiful camp site in the heart of the Black Hills. Flag Mountain MV Camp has proved again to be a "Mount of Blessing" for the families and youth of this conference. The camp for underprivileged boys, conducted in July, was a first for the conference. It was rewarding indeed to see the response on the part of the forty-two boys in at- tendance. These were introduced to a better way of life as P. F. Peder- sen, camp pastor, pointed them to Christ. Many prayed publicly for the first time. All appreciated the op- portunity afforded them at such a camp to become better acquainted with the things of nature and the knowledge of God. Each boy ex- presed his desire to come to Flag Mountain again next year. On their behalf, I wish to thank you who arranged for and sponsored them, for making this experience possible for them. Your interest and investment in these citizens of to- morrow could well be the turning point in their lives because someone cared. To them, this "Mount of Blessing" experience will not soon be forgotten. The Spirit of God was also mani- fest during the Teen and Junior camps as W. K. Mansker and P. W. Kemper served the youth as camp pastors. Forty-seven of our youth made decisions to follow Christ in all things including baptism. Thirty- three rededicated self to Christ in service. Here under the leadership of Christian staff members, the youth come to know and better under- stand God's plan for them. Here they sing and pray. Here they study and associate with other Christian youth. Here they too come to the mountain top experience. Parents, you can rejoice that the youth, the most valued heritage of the church and the home, can come apart for a few days and receive so much for so little. May God bless all who this year attended one of the camps and found Flag Mountain MV Camp to be a "Mount of Blessing" indeed. L. H.

Secretary Make wills and legacies to Iowa Seventh-day Adventist Association "In the Beginning God" So often reading, 'riting, and 'rith- metic are spoken of as the three basics in education. They are basic, of course. But I want to add a fourth that is even more basic. In fact, it's the foundation. This basic is "In the beginning God." We might just as well face it. In this time when it is so popular to doubt and question, it's extremely difficult for a young person to re- main true to God when he sits at the feet of unbelieving teachers one hundred and eighty days out of every year and when he associates intimately with unbelieving stu- dents. God is left out of public edu- cation. How can a young person's educational structure be sound and solid when this is true? Young people have given me many excuses for not going to our schools. Parents have given me many ex- cuses for not sending their children to our schools. I've never been im- pressed by these excuses. I'm sure that the only excuse that is even one-tenth valid is that there isn't enough money available. Ultimately, when the Lord asks, "Where is thy flock?" we won't be able to think of a single excuse if we don't have our children with us in the kingdom.

I want them to have fun. I want them to grow mentally and spiritually. I want them to know the Lord Jesus. I know that Oak Park is the place for these young people. Elder Felton and his staff are ready to serve you and to serve them. Those who are short on cash can earn a large portion of their expenses. Oak Park offers un- equaled work opportunities. I want to emphasize the fun again. It's fun to attend Oak Park. Somehow I believe that the deci- sion to attend one of our own schools or to attend one of the public schools is a much bigger decision than most young people realize, and most parents realize. In many cases, it's a heaven or hell decision. Perhaps by the time this article appears in print the 1967-68 school term will already have opened. I'm sure, however, that there will still be room in the church schools of Iowa, in Oak Park Academy, and in Union College. Remember, it's a real ad v a n t a g e spiritually, physical- ly, mentally, and socially to attend a Seventh-day Adventist school. K. D.

STEPHAN, Pastor Minot District Seeking the True Church Because of the terrible condition that our world is in, there are peo- ple who are honest in heart and who are searching for a church that upholds the principles of the Bible— people who have become discouraged with the laxity of their own church, people who do not believe in uniting under one religious body. During the early part of this year, a young Adventist man from a near- by town would come to Grand Forks for the weekend and attend our church. He would come in by either train or bus and stay over at one of the local hotels for the weekend. One Saturday night, while he was at this hotel, he couldn't sleep, so went downstairs to the lunchroom which stays open all night. He was sitting at the counter eating a sand- wich when he was observed by a young clean-cut man who came over and sat down beside him. He said that he had particularly noticed our Adventist friend because he was the only one in the room who was not puffing on a cigarette. He, himself, did not smoke and was pleased to find someone else who did not. He wished to find out more about our Adventist friend. They had quite a conversation which lasted until around four in the morning. During the conversation, this Adventist young man witnessed for Christ and invited this stranger to attend our local church the following Sabbath. He attended our church on several occasions, and one Sabbath evening visited our home. He wanted to know more about our religion. I might say at this point that he is a fine, clean-cut young man. He had graduated from the University of South Dakota and was at the time taking a post-graduate course at the University in Grand Forks. He is undecided on whether he should become a doctor or a minis- ter. He wants to work in the field where he will be of the most serv- ice to both God and his fellow men. His present religious faith does not have a school where they can train men to become medical missionar- ies, so he is searching for a true Enjoying this phase 'of their Physical Education program are: (Gills) bottom row: Arlis Spilovoy, Kathy Bird, and Cherie Tar- asenko;' middle row: Del Rae Dovich and De Lona Lang; Top; Marla Severtson.

We talked with him until about two in the morn- ing. He is a very enthusiastic per- son and asked a number of ques- tions concerning our church and its doctrine. He would absorb the an- swers very quickly and then ask for more information. He would be a great asset to our denomination if he were to decide to join God's Rem- nant People. During the summer, he has been working long hours at our local Catholic Hospital as an orderly, to help pay his way for further studies at the University this fall.

We are also thankful that the Conference Committee has made it possible for the IT IS WRIT- TEN program to come in on TV Channel 8 this fall. We feel sure that this fine program will be a great help in soul winning in our area as well as other outlying areas. God's work is moving forward rapid- ly—may we all do our part in has- tening the return of our Lord! NELSON O.

These words, spoken by one of the men who attended the entire series of prayer meetings based on the book, Counsels on Stewardship, express the sentiments of those who enjoyed this deeply helpful series. Leading out in the discussion, usually lively, is L. F. Johnson, local elder. Taking advantage of the kindness of the conference in offering the Spirit of Prophecy book and study guide at greatly reduced prices, Minot, North Dakota members each had oppor- tunity to become better stewards of time, talent, and treasure.

So why don't you read over this page, pretend you're a member of our Marketing Committee, and tell us what you would like for dinner, for lunch, or for whatever your occasion. For instance, we could make for you a breaded veal-style cutlet, frozen and ready to heat. Or, if you'd prefer, we could add a frozen beef-style pot pie to complement the chicken-style pot pie you are already using. Would you like a delicious convenience item? Like maybe a dehydrated stroganoff that comes in a pan that can be used for both baking and serving. All you do is add water, pop in the oven, and in thirty minutes you serve. Of course, if you're a cacciatore or tetrazzini type, tell us. How about some soups for the family? If so, what kind? Maybe you're a snack type. Would you believe we can create an imitation cashew nut rich in pro- tein, tasty, and at half the cost and half the fat of real cashew nuts? Well we're not positive (about the price), but if you tell us you want it, we'll get to work. Anyone for some Chinese dinners? How about a frozen chop suey or chow mein all ready to heat and serve? Anyone for a breakfast item? Somebody for dessert! Since 1939 we at Worthington Foods, have been giving you vegetable protein and other products we thought you would like. From the way you've been buying, we must have made some good guesses. But now it's your turn to tell us. If some of these product ideas sound good to you, let us know by CIRCLING THE TOP THREE that appeal to you. Any comments, preferences, or additional product suggestions you have can be noted at the bottom of this page.

C. 20012 Eight Northern Union Literature Evangelists Have a Thousand-Dollar Week BY J. L. DITTBERNFR, President, Northern Union Conference For eight literature evangelists to each sell over $1,000 worth of our books in the same week is surely outstanding. It demonstrates that our books can be sold in the Northern Union. Those who had a thousand dollars or more in sales during this one week are: NAME � CONFERENCE � DELIVERIES Doug Barlow � South Dakota � $1,567.70 A & E Dickerson �Iowa � 1,350.85 Warren Haugen � South Dakota � 1,255.50 Chuck Foster � Iowa � 1,171.80 Fred Carter, Jr. � Iowa � 1,060.60 Lee Hammond � Iowa � 1,014.45 Bill Nordgren � Minnesota � 1,013.05 Maynard Petersen �Iowa � 1,005.50 Total sales for all our literature evangelists for this week amounted to $18,410.08. This report is surely good news! Good for the literature evangelist, the publishing department, and the people who purchased the books. These books will be read and their influence will be far reaching. The contacts made by the litera- ture evangelists also bring a blessing to the people as well as a feeling of deep satisfaction to the one sell- ing the books. The following is only one experience related by a literature evangelist during his thousand- dollar week. "I called en the lady in this home in the morning. She invited me into the house and about that time her husband came home. I talked to him for a minute and then he said, 'I have to leave now, but we want the books. You just show them to my wife and explain the terms.' As I was finishing my canvass and writing up the order he again came into the house. I talked to him for a long time and en- rolled him in the Bible Course. I left after a word of prayer and he said, 'I want to come over to your house and talk some more,' and I agreed to this." Our literature evangelists are doing more than just selling books. They are finding interested peo- ple and studying with them. May we pray for the success of these workers. Many could be having simi- lar experiences by entering the literature ministry either on a full or part-time basis.
