From The President's Diary 
Terry and Steve 
D
O YOU REMEMBER WHEN TERRY FOX took his last 
excruciatingly, pain-filled, final step on the Trans Canada 
Highway east of Thunder Bay? In remembrance, that 
section is now named "The Terry Fox Memorial Highway." 
Hardly had his last halting step died away before another, Steve 
Fonyo, stepped into the breach. Imaged in our minds eye we see the 
determination, resolution and committed mission which irresistibly 
compelled these men rhythmically, fortitudinously ever onward. 
Isaiah 35:8-12 captures our imagination, "And our highway shall be 
there, and a way, and it shall be called, The Way of Holiness." This 
highway is not for the unclean, but for the ransomed and redeemed 
who shall walk there. 
We too have a thrilling mission — the glorious Gospel to all the 
world. Our pioneers, workers and laymen, who have passed away, they 
were our Terry Fox. And each of us "enfeebled andodefective as it may 
appear," is, if you please, a Steve Fonyo, traveling the "Highway of 
Holiness." 
Here we are, a remnant, peculiar people, called to "build the waste 
places, to be the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in." 
A chosen people for God's last message to earth. 
As with Steve, we shall persevere with resolution, determination 
and fortitude in completing Matthew's Gospel Commission. The ful-
fillment of this mission for each of us, as British Columbia's President, 
Gary DeBoer, commented recently is, "not an option, but a God-given 
responsibility." 
Our mission will soon be completed. As with Steve Fonyo, we are on 
the last "leg" of our fantastic journey. Isn't it thrilling to be a part of 
God's remnant world-wide church? 
Very few churches are world-wide in scope and mission. Most are so 
busy being independent that their bubble bursts in a vacuum of 
confusion. 
Let us join hands and hearts together to fulfill I Corinthians 2:9, "Eye 
hath not seen, nor ear heard . . ." 
May I invite you to read the entire article "Our World Church on

ELEGATES TO BRITISH 
COLUMBIA's 47th Session, 
u are a marathon runner. 
You have been running now for about 100 
years, and with every passing year you are 
looking bigger and better. 
It was in 1877 that you were organiza-
tionally linked with Washington and Oregon 
to become the North Pacific Conference. In 
1886, a comment was recorded in the B.C. 
legislature, "There are some people in this 
province who honestly believe that our 
Saturday was the real original Sunday." 
By 1887, the first visible entity in B.C. 
was the North Pacific Tract and Missionary 
Society. Pitched tents in numerous centers 
magnetically drew thousands to the per-
ceived "circus." They found bears, lions, 
leopards, goats and dragons — our first 
Revelation Seminar! 
In December of 1889 the Victoria Daily 
Times recorded that the Adventists had 
purchased a lot, and the church built in 
Victoria was the first Adventist Church in 
Western Canada. 
The following year, 1890, evangelists 
were busy opening up the work in Van-
couver and by 1899 the"saints" in Nanaimo 
were busy protesting, of all things, Saturday 
elections. 
The second B.C. Session was held in 
Penticton June 8-18, 1922. By this time 
there were 17 churches, such as Victoria, 
Nanaimo, Nelson, White Rock, Vernon, 
Kelowna plus three in Vancouver. A year 
later Armstrong, Bella Coola, Rest Haven 
and Silver Creek were marvelously added. 
Parallel accounts could he recounted for 
every conference across Canada. Every 
union, every division has its cherished 
heritage. We are so grateful for the direction 
given in I Corinthians 12. That counsel has 
preserved the unity of our World Wide 
Church and led us into the 1,000 Days of 
Reaping. 
Only heaven's approval could ever have 
given credence to receiving 1,000,000 new 
members in the body of Christ in 1,000 
Days. Victory is here and the General 
Conference Session now tells us to what 
extent. 
The great evangelistic victories of the 
1,000 Days were not possible in past years. 
We believe that when God's children 
accept the belief that great conquests can be 
"No matter if 
there are hard times, 
we must keep positive. 
With every trial 
and setback, there can 
come blessings." 
theirs, the Holy Spirit is sent to make that 
faith a fact. 
In Inter America, 65% of the baptisms 
have come directly from laymen's work. 
Zechariah 4:6 says it all. "Not by might, not 
by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of 
hosts." Let's catch our second wind and 
Fonyo our way to the finish line. 
The affluent 70's are behind us. The mid-
80's are here with myriads of challenges. 
What we do here in this 47th Session will 
demand the best of our spiritual and moral 
energies, our finest skills and talents and 
our resources. 
When the challenges come, we must not 
let ourselves by psyched into turning upon 
ourselves and accepting the status quo or 
even defeat. 
The revival of our spirits here today 
have to be more than a muscle spasm. No 
matter if there are hard times, we must keep 
positive. With every trial and setback, there 
can come blessings. 
No matter what, God still lives and is still 
upon His throne. Hope for the best, prepare 
for the worst and take what comes with a 
grin. A balanced attitude toward life requires 
a sense of humour. 
Lincoln knew that people thought he 
was homely. In debate, Stephen Douglas 
called Lincoln two faced. His reply, "Now I 
leave it with my audience, if I had another 
face, do you think I would wear this 
one!" 
Disappointments and frustrations come 
and go, but God still rules in the heavens. 
Totally dedicated, wholly committed, the 
Christian can bear anything in the name of 
Christ because we have His sure and 
eternal promise. 
We are counselled to be "temperate in 
all things," and this includes attitudes as 
well as eating and drinking. Let us refrain 
from going overboard. Keep an open mind 
to further information and facts. Before we 
criticize, let's be certain we are qualified to 
criticize. Most critical letters reveal quickly 
that the individual is not qualified to 
criticize because of a lack of the necessary 
facts to pronounce an opinion. 
Did you hear of the man who claimed to 
love his family and then ran an ad in the 
paper publishing all the faults and failures 
of his wife and children? Love covers, love 
protects, love cherishes, love wants the 
object of its affection to look good. 
If we love the church, the total spectrum 
of our thinking will not be caught up in 
doubting, blaming and bad-mouthing what 
the church may do. Some people would 
have us think that a recession hit heaven. 
It is thrilling to see God take hold and do 
with ease that which seems to be im-
possible. The church is God's organization. 
The problem is that it is filled with human 
beings and is operated by imperfect mortals. 
We need to keep the church close to 
Jesus. 
Ridding the church of sinners will not 
clean it up nearly as much as it will clean it 
out. The church is for strength, salvation, 
hope and love. 
In Matthew 25 the one talent man was 
condemned because he didn't invest his 
money. As a rule, the church has been 
known for its prudent and wise invest-
ments. In the business world, the church 
enjoys a "blue chip" reputation. 
Do you know why? Because the church 
does not default. We stand by our commit-
ments. We pay our bills. We do, learn from 
our mistakes. We do become stronger and 
wiser. Do we really feel good down deep 
when we turn away from appeals for time, 
talent, and treasure to help finish God's 
work? 
The best investment is still in the Lord's 
work. One banker said, "No one is perfect. 
Some you win, some you lose. I just wish I 
owned a bank with the same SDA on it!" 
"The truth is soon to triumph gloriously 
and all who now choose to be labourers 
together with God will triumph with it." 9T 
135. 
The Lord inquires, "Whom shall I send?" 
Those who sacrifice for the truth's sake 
reply, "Here am I send me!"

 NCE EACH YEAR IN 
EARLY JULY, the corporate 
Church of the North Amer-
ican Division is invited to participate in the 
operation of Christian Record Braille 
Foundation. All gifts received from this 
source are placed in a special account to 
fund the preparation of: 
Doctrinal Bible Correspondence 
Courses 
Publication of Review and Herald in

Other miscellaneous church related 
materials 
This year, 1985, as we invite you to share 
your portion of the Lord's storehouse with 
CRBF, we would like, in turn, to share some 
of the scores of comments received with last 
year's offering. 
From Ontario - "May our dear God 
bless all the great work you are doing." 
From Manitoba - "My 84 year old sister 
gave me a gift of $20.00. Since I'm getting a 
pension, I'm sending her gift on to you." 
From Alberta - "Here's my gift to help 
you who are helping the blind so much. 
May God bless you." 
From B.C. - "In tribute to those who 
gave of themselves that our disabled loved 
ones could live happier, healthier lives." 
And this interesting letter "... so this 
tiyem (time) sending this gifth (gift) with a 
prayer That God Blessem (will bless them 
and mutlyplyem (multiply them) To His 
Glory." How I would like to be able to 
express myself so eloquently in a language 
that is not my mother tongue! 
An important feature of CRBF for nearly 
20 years is National Camps for Blind 
Children. Each summer, over 200 Canadian 
young people (another 1500 attend in the 
U.S.) attend our blind camps. Here is how 
one camper felt: "I've enjoyed going to the 
camp each year ... You people have made 
me feel very happy and joyful." Much of 
that inspiration, we willingly share with the 
dedicated staff who operate each of the 
camps whose facilities we use. 
Last summer, it was my pleasure to 
attend the northernmost chapter of NCBC -
at Tukoskoye in Alaska. While not in our 
Union it is a neighbour, and we wish to 
close this article by sharing a poem written 
by Tom Wilkinson, RN. who served as our 
Camp Nurse there. Here is his thought 
provoking verse: 
WHO IS BLIND? 
I have met someone who is blind 
This has raised a question in my mind. 
Why Dear Lord Can't they see? 
This is the answer He gave to me: 
They're not Blind - 
But it's you. 
For you can't see what is true. 
They need not see things of This earth, 
For there is little here of worth. 
But they see with their hearts; 
Not the outside of men, 
But the inner parts. 
Thus they can see what you cannot. 
And they remember things 
That you've forgot: 
The songs of birds 
And the wind. 
The laughter and voice of a friend. 
So don't you say 
"They cannot see" 
Their hearts see more than thee. 
It is our joy and pleasure to be able to 
conduct the ever growing work of CRBF for 
the more than 5000 Canadians currently 
receiving our services. It is also our joy to 
see the ever growing response from the 
readers of Messenger in support of these 
services. We wish God's richest blessing on 
each one of you. 
Pastor 
Vandeman 
Attacked: 
Pastor George Vandeman, speaker 
of the Seventh-day Adventist tele-
cast, IT IS WRITTEN, was injured 
during an attack at his home, April 
11. He was treated at a nearby 
hospital and released after 24 hours 
of observation. Physical injuries 
were not severe. 
Pastor Vandeman's son, Ron, is 
in custody in connection with the 
incident. He has suffered from a 
condition for the past 22 years 
which has been controlled by 
medication. Following a bout with 
hepatitis in March, a physician 
removed his regular medication. 
Ron was staying at his parents 
home in Thousand Oaks, California, 
at the time of the incident. Prompt 
intervention by a long-time family 
friend, Harold Reiner, who pro-
videntially drove by as the incident 
occurred, calmed the son. 
Pastor and Mrs. Vandeman are 
deeply thankful for the outpouring 
of love and concern from friends 
around the world.

 CANADA'S cAandadvea

in 
 
its eye on developments 
AAN
arising out of a resurgence of 
enforcement and, at the same time, 
opposition to Sunday legislation in 
Canada. Retail businesses across the land began to defy the archaic law 
of 1907; counter actions were taken by trade unionism, religionists 
and "do-gooders" to stop the trend toward "secularizing" Sunday. A 
multitude of court actions were initiated to penalize violators of 
Sunday observance in an effort to stop the presumed erosion of family 
life; to stop the growing threat against labour interest and to prevent a 
further weakening of the citizens' commitment to Sunday quietude in 
church and at home. 
Quietly, but forthrightly, the Adventist Church through its Public 
Affairs office asserted itself to elucidate in the courts and legislatures 
the real issues at stake — the preservation of freedom of religion and 
the disentanglement of the State from the affairs which belong to the 
Church. Now, the longstanding position of Adventism in the matter of 
religious freedom and the consequential offensiveness of Sunday laws 
to that principle, has been vindicated by Canada's highest court of 
justice. 
Chief Justice Brian Dickson who wrote the decision, firmly 
addressed those who have insisted that a national Sunday law is 
appropriate in Canada. He said, 
"To accept that Parliament retains the right to compel universal 
observance of the day of rest preferred by one religion is not 
consistent with the preservation and enhancement of the multi-
cultural heritage of Canadians." 
Then as if to nail down the court's decision securely, he emphasized 
that the Act creates a climate hostile to, and gives the appearance of 
discrimination against those Canadians who observe a day other than 
Sunday. 
Perhaps the consummate 
given by the Court is this: 
"What may appear good and true to a majoritarian religious group, 
or to the state acting at their behest, may not, for religious reasons, 
be imposed upon citizens who take a contrary view. The Charter 
safeguards religious minorities from the threat of 'the tyranny of the 
majority.' " 
On the point of defining the meaning of freedom of religion, a 
matter of great importance in applying the Charter of Rights and

Since 1981 the Seventh- 
statement on Church-State relations 
SEVEN DAYS AFTER THE EQUALITY SECTION (15) of the Canadian 
D. Douglas Devnich Charter of Rights and Freedoms came into force on April 17, 1985, the 
Supreme Court of Canada performed its crowning act of justice by 
upholding the freedom of conscience and religion as prescribed in the 
Constitution Act.

Freedoms, the Court was profound in its 
clarity. 
"A truly free society is one which 
can accommodate a wide variety of 
beliefs, diversity of tastes and pur-
suits, customs and codes of conduct. 
A free society is one which aims at 
equality with respect to the enjoy-
ment of fundamental freedoms and I 
say this without any reliance upon 
s.15 of the Charter. Freedom must 
surely be founded in respect for the 
inherent dignity and the inviolable 
rights of the human person. The 
essence of the concept of freedom of 
religion is the right to entertain such 
religious beliefs as a person chooses, 
the right to declare religious beliefs 
openly and without fear of hin-
drance or reprisal, and the right to 
manifest religious belief by worship 
and practice or by teaching and 
dissemination. But the concept 
means more than that. 
"Freedom can primarily be char-
acterized by the absence of coercion 
or constraint. If a person is com-
pelled by the state or the will of 
another to a course of action or 
inaction which he would not other-
wise have chosen, he is not acting of 
his own volition and he cannot be 
said to be truly free. One of the 
major purposes of the Charter is to 
protect, within reason, from com-
pulsion or restraint. Coercion in-
cludes not only such blatant forms of 
compulsion as direct commands to 
act or refrain from acting on pain of 
sanction, coercion includes indirect 
forms of control which determine or 
limit alternative courses of conduct 
available to others. Freedom in a 
broad sense embraces both the 
absence of coercion and constraint, 
and the right to manifest beliefs and 
practices. Freedom means that, 
subject to such limitations as are 
necessary to protect public safety, 
order, health, or morals or the 
fundamental rights and freedoms of 
others, no one is to be forced to act in 
a way contrary to his beliefs or his 
conscience." 
This magnificent decision of the 
Supreme Court of Canada stands out, 
perhaps in all the world, as the most 
decisive in pronouncing that religious 
liberty is the cornerstone of our 
freedoms. It comes at the end of many 
agonizing moments, especially for 
Adventists who understood for the last 
four years how delicately tenuous the 
issue has been with respect to a

today in our 
land.

possibly opposite outcome. 
We now remember how the strongest 
case in Alberta (The Queen v. W.H. 
Smith et. al.) was strangely subverted 
by an unexpected case (The Queen v. 
Big M. Drug Mart) in which the Church 
had no opportunity for input at the 
lower court level. Then came the 
consolidation of many cases under the 
heading of Big M. The first attempt to 
intervene in the Appeal Court of 
Alberta turned back on the Church as a 
great disappointment. We feared that 
the important issues would be over-
looked — so we prayed. 
The Court was in session. The 
Seventh-day Adventist perspective was 
missing. Suddenly, the Chief Justice of 
the Appeal Court spoke to one of the 
lawyers in the court; welcomed him 
and his representation of the Seventh-
day Adventist Church. The lawyer, 
nearly dumbfounded, then stood in his 
place to report that he was not there to 
represent the Church and that he 
would need permission to do so since 
the Church had earlier been denied 
standing. In what seemed to_ be an 
unprecedented development, the Chief 
Justice then adjourned the court and 
suggested to the lawyer that he obtain 
the necessary permission to represent 
the Church for when the Court would 
resume in session the next morning. 
Adventists well recall the outcome 
of the case in Alberta, particularly as 
Justice Laycraft wrote on behalf of the 
court that the Lord's Day Act is incon-
sistent with the Canadian Charter of 
Rights and Freedoms. 
Despite the indications of the judicial 
assessment that the impugned Act was 
an infringement of religious freedom, 
contrary interests appealed the decision 
to the Supreme Court of Canada. For a 
full year the Court deliberated on the 
matter. During that time the former 
Justice Roland Ritchie retired from the 
Court and did not participate in the 
final decision as we now have it. He of 
course was the one who had written 
the 1963 judgment in the matter of the 
Lord's Day Act, that it merely imposed a 
business inconvenience on non-Sunday 
observers and thus he declared it to be 
valid law in Canada. 
Providentially, and in God's own 
way and wisdom the affairs of state 
and law have been ordered so as to give 
many an opportunity to think about the 
meaning of this oft-contentious subject 
Some have been led to consider which 
day is truly the Lord's Day. Some have 
repudiated clear evidence that the 
Holy Sabbath is indeed the Seventh-
day of the week. Others remain even 
still, confused, uncertain, and unwary. 
The end of the story has not been 
told. The future promises more debate 
and controversy. The provinces must 
yet decide how to relate to provincial 
laws which achieve the same objects as 
did the bygone and now infamous 
federal Act of 1907. Another court 
case in Ontario is on application to the 
Supreme Court of Canada. The question 
there is whether or not the Ontario law 
respecting Sunday closing based on a 
special purpose is valid at all. 
We wait, we pray, we work and we 
praise God for liberty of conscience 
today in our land. Once again we may 
sing our national anthem one step 
higher "God keep our land, glorious 
and free!"

The School Burned 
but God Saved His Children 
J.D.V. Fitch 
On the morning of March 21, 1985 
school started at 8:55 as usual with morning 
worship in each classroom at the Calgary 
Seventh-day Adventist school. All students 
and staff were on the main floor of the 
building. 
About 9:05 Roger Triebwasser, Grade 
10 teacher, thought he smelled smoke. He 
left his classroom to check a stock room and 
a storage room. He also informed the 
Building Superintendent, Mike Paige, of 
the strange odor. He returned to his class to 
administer a quiz. Looking up, he noticed 
smoke seeping through the door at the rear 
of the classroom. He immediately sent a 
student to press the fire alarm and ordered 
his students to leave the classroom imme-
diately. 
Almost simultaneously, a student in the 
Grade 5/6 classroom noticed a certain 
"glow" in the gym as he looked out the rear 
door of the classroom which overlooked 
the upper portion of the east end of the 
gym. He then called to his teacher, "Mr. 
Bugden, the gym is on fire." Mr. Bugden 
gave immediate orders for his class to 
evacuate and went to the hall to call 
"FIRE." 
Almost immediately all the classrooms 
filled with thick black smoke. 
"The evacuation proceeded exactly the 
way we had rehearsed it in our fire drills," 
said principal Dallas Weis. "We are espe-
cially proud of our students who showed 
no panic and offered no complaints." The 
Board made special mention of two students, 
Dwayne Higgins and Stephan Krahmer, 
who carried out their assignments without 
hesitation. It was their job during all fire 
drills to assist a physically handicapped 
classmate out of the building. 
Within minutes the building was en-
gulfed in flames. The heat from the fire was 
intense. 
The Calgary Fire Department responded 
at approximately 9:24 and requested 
assistance from the Rockyview Fire De-
partment. They did what they could, but the 
heat was so intense and truck water supply 
was limited. The wind blew the intense heat 
over the cistern and attempts to control the 
fire were useless. A total of 9 fire trucks and 
Director of Education, Canadian Union Conference 
"All 
through 
the afternoon 
we received 
offers of 
accommodation, 
transportation 
and other 
assistance." 
17 firemen responded to the call. RCMP 
and City Police were also soon at the 
scene. 
The manager of Westward Inn, located 
less than a half mile from the school on Hwy. 
1, opened the doors of the Inn to the staff 
and students. 
At the Board Meeting on March 21 a 
Search Committee was established to find 
an alternate location for the school. Annette 
Stanwick was appointed the official spokes-
person for the media with Peter Miller, 
lawyer, and Dallas Weis, principal, as 
resource persons. 
"The public concern has been over-
whelming." says Mrs. Stanwick "All through 
the afternoon we received offers of accom-
modation, transportation and other assistance. 
It seems that a tragedy always brings out the 
best in people." 
During the nine days following the fire 
the Board and staff of the Calgary Seventh-
day Adventist School worked long and 
hard to make interim arrangements to 
continue the education of the children. 
Only 7 days of school were lost due to the 
fire. The Board was able to sign a lease 
agreement with the Calgary Separate 
School District #1 for use of the St. Annes 
School at 1010-21st Ave. S.E. until June 30, 
1985. 
The Board, staff, students and church 
members heart's have been touched by the 
compassionate response received from the 
education community and the community 
at large. They wish to express sincere 
appreciation to: 
Mr. Graeme Proudfoot and Mr. Gerry 
Arshinoff of the Calgary School Board; 
Deputy Police Chief Jim Beatty; Mr. 
Graham Douglass, a private developer 
in Calgary; Mr. Michael Chan and Mr. 
Rob Groves of the Calgary Separate 
School District #1; and Petro Canada, 
Esso and Gulf Canada Resources for 
their generous contributions. 
Although the building was insured, 
the cost of re-building could be staggering 
due to increased costs of material and 
labour. Some things, of course, can never be 
replaced such as the accumulation of 
personal teaching aids which teachers had 
gathered throughout the years. 
Yes, the school building burned, but 
thanks be to God for the protection of the 
children and staff. There is another fire 
coming at the end of time. May all of our 
children receive an education which will 
prepare them to also escape that awful 
destruction. Let us all continue to pray for 
our brothers and sisters in Calgary and for 
all of our children.

founders of the Faith For

is both the oldest Seventh-day 
Adventist telecast and the longest running 
religious program on television. 
IY 
F
AITH FOR TODAY, THE SEV-
ENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH'S 
irst television ministry, marked 
its 35th birthday on May 21. According to 
founders William and Virginia Fagal, when 
they first began, no one ever dreamed that 
one day Faith For Today would be the 
longest-running religious program in the 
history of television. 
A lot was at stake when Faith For Today 
first went on the air back in 1950. Television 
was still in its infancy. Adventist television 
evangelism was only a dream in the minds 
of a few. Church leaders were asking for a 
lot when they invited Pastor Fagal to do the 
job. 
Besides starting a new television ministry, 
Fagal was also pastor of the Washington 
Avenue Church in Brooklyn, New York, 
and speaker on a weekly radio program. 
But, lacking experience in television, he 
sought the counsel of the staff at ABC who 
would be helping produce the program. 
"Don't preach," they told him. "Tell stories 
instead." Thus the decision was made to use 
living parables — dramatic skits — to 
illustrate scriptural points. Pastor and Mrs. 
Fagal would close the program with a short 
sermonette completing the point made by 
the skit. 
Sixty-six letters arrived that first week —
each requesting the free Bible lessons 
Jeff Wilson 
Public Relations Director 
offered on the program. Faith For Today 
had no Bible Correspondence School, so 
the requests were routed to other Bible 
Schools operating in areas where the 
people lived. Because of this, it wasn't until 
a year later that the Fagals learned about the 
Farrar family. They had watched the very 
first program and written for the lessons. 
After studying, the whole family had been 
baptized. It wasn't long until the Faith For 
Today Bible Correspondence School was 
born to give each viewer personal attention. 
In December of 1950 the ABC network 
began airing the Faith For Today telecast 
coast-to-coast. Gradually other stations 
were added. Requests for Bible lessons and 
other booklets increased steadily. 
By 1956 the pressure of producing a new 
show live every week was taking its toll on 
the Fagals and their dedicated staff, and the 
decision was made to begin on film. For a 
time this doubled the workload instead of 
easing it, as both a live and filmed program 
had to be done each week until several 
filmed ones were completed. Now mistakes 
could be edited out and programs repeated 
as needed. 
Compared with radio, producing and 
airing a television program has always been 
a very expensive matter. As the number of 
homes with television sets increased, station 
managers felt growing pressure to up their 
profits. With some stations raising their 
rates as much as 200 percent in one jump, 
Faith For Today's expenses were rising 
faster than income. For a time the crisis 
grew. About the same time, unknown to the 
Fagals, three Adventist pastors in upstate 
New York approached the management of 
one station with a special request. Would 
they air the program free? To everyone's 
surprise, they did! Soon other stations 
around the country were approached with 
the same request, and a number of them put 
Faith For Today on the air free of charge. By 
1962 even WABC, Faith For Today's original 
station, had agreed to air the program at no 
cost. Today, the air time on WABC alone is a 
gift — worth a quarter of a million dollars a 
year. Faith For Today receives more free air 
time each year across the country than any 
other Adventist telecast. 
Faith For Today's growth continued 
with the move to Thousand Oaks, California, 
in 1972 to become part of the Adventist 
Media Center. It was on the huge new 
sound stage at the Media Center that the 
award-winning weekly series, "Westbrook 
Hospital," and other programs were filmed. 
Pastor and Mrs. Fagal retired in 1980, 
handing over the guidance of Faith For 
Today to Elder Dan Matthews. They remain

Next Month in SIGNS 
"How well are you preparing for life's 
second half?" asks Lois Pecce in SIGN's 
cover article for July. In North America, the 
median age is growing older. What life will 
be like for you 20, 30, or even 40 years from 
now may well depend on the physical, 
emotional, financial, and spiritual prepar-
ation you make today. This article is full of 
down-to-earth advice. Look for the handy 
checklist for men and women on page 21 to 
determine how well you're doing. 
Also in the July SIGNS, Richard Rice 
asks, "Why Join a Church?" Isn't salvation 
and Christian experience essentially an 
individual matter? Does a Christian really 
need a church? Read why the author 
believes the church is so important. And 
check the nine "Points to Ponder When 
Choosing a Church." They are on page 
15. 
"The Gift of Peace" shows you how to 
have this greatest of Jesus' legacies - "My 
peace I leave with you," He promised. 
And you'll find much more in the award-
winning SIGNS OF THE TIMES for July. Be

EDUCA 10N 
An Adventist Essential 
Brockville S.D.A. Elementary — The Church School joined with Debbie Hartwig, the 
Home and School leader to hold an Open House for parents and other interested 
visitors. Student work, projects, and school equipment were put on display. Teaching 
aids and curriculum guidelines were available for perusal by visitors. The senior 
students played two musical selections on the recorder. The student body sang "I 
want to Go to God's Heaven." All students presented an oral report. Subjects ranged 
from ancient computers to the life of Brush Rabbits. 
Coralwood Junior Academy — The Grade 5 & 6 class comprised of 22 students have 
chosen the name "The Cheery XXII" for their Witnessing/Art class. To date they have 
made over 150 cards for the Cross Cancer Institute in-patients in Edmonton. 
A one-time bake sale by the same class brought in $140.00. The purpose: 
purchasing food items, etc. for needy families. What a joy to be a small part of God's 
work! 
Corner Brook S.D.A. School — Province wide Education Week emphasis was on 
Care of a Small Planet. Display was set up in the local shopping mall and received 
radio and newspaper coverage. We had a poster display, a display of table top models 
and a full size metal wire sculpture of pollution man. This was a grade nine project. 
College Heights Adventist Junior 
Academy — Sabbath afternoon, April 
27, over 30 students (ages 9-15) from 
CHAJA and Woodlands Adventist 
Academy participated in a musical 
program under the direction of the 
College Heights Church Music 
Department celebrating the 300th 
anniversary of the birth of J.S. Bach 
and G.F. Handel. The academy also 
supported the Alberta Heart Foun-
dation by conducting a Jump Rope 
For Heart fund-raising event. From 
grades 1-6, sixty-six students raised 
almost $2,000. 
New school for Indians — Two 
Indian Bands, namely the Shuswap 
and Kootney bands, are requesting 
Adventist Education for their children. 
Plans are being considered to begin 
the 1985-86 school year in a motel 
right on the reservation. Expected 
enrollment is 67 and 6 teachers and 
staff will be required. 
An Indian Band at Port Hardy on 
Vancouver Island is considering a 
similar request. 
DO YOU LOVE 
YOUR FAMILY? 
It has been said, "If you love your 
family, you will have a will." 
How many times death strikes a 
family unexpectedly and financial 
affairs are in disarray. In many 
cases, there is no will, and the loved 
ones left behind are frustrated not 
knowing how or where to begin in 
taking care of the estate. 
It is our Christian duty to have a 
Christian Will. We have a respon-
sibility to God and His work, and to 
our family and loved ones in this 
area of Christian stewardship. 
Making financial provisions may 
be put off for any number of 
reasons. Some of these may be: 
"My estate is too small, everything 
will go to my wife or husband;" 
"Making a will is too costly," or, "If I 
make a will surely something ter-
rible will happen." Perhaps the one 
that is used most frequently is: "I'll 
get to it sometime." In most cases, 
these are not valid reasons but 
excuses. 
May the Lord help us as we 
consider this very important re-
sponsibility. 
If we can be of further service in 
giving you information or assisting 
in a financial plan (Will, Trust, 
Annuity), please call or write to the

Black History Month 
Celebrated at 
Canadian Union 
College (C. IL C.) 
On Saturday, February 24, and for the 
first time ever, a steel orchestra (mainly 
West Indian instruments) played for almost 
two hours at C.U.C. 
This is the second consecutive year in 
which Black History Month (February) was 
celebrated at the college. This year, the 
program was jointly sponsored by the 
Lyceum committee of the college 4rad the 
seven-year old Caribbean Association of 
Adventists in Alberta (C.A.A.A.). It was also 
partially subsidized by Alberta Culture. 
The concept of Black History Month has 
its roots in the 20's when Dr. Woodson, an 
Afro-American, initiated what was then 
called Black History Week. During the 60's, 
it was "upped" to Black History Month. 
Today, during the month of February, the 
history, struggles, aspirations and accom-
plishments of Blacks are high-lighted in 
several places all across North America; 
and that includes some of our sister insti-
tutions in the U.S. like Atlantic Union 
College and Andrews University.

Hi-Tech 
Electronics 
Industry at 
CUC Provides 
Employment 
Opportunities 
Canutel Industries Ltd., a privately 
owned electronic assembly plant located on 
the campus of Canadian Union College 
provides increasing employment oppor-
tunities for CUC students and their spouses. 
Hugo W. Wegmuller established Canutel in 
1982 on the CUC campus in a building 
leased from the college. 
A dedicated Seventh-day Adventist, 
Brother Wegmuller holds a degree in 
electrical engineering from an engineering 
college in Geneva, Switzerland. He has 
wide experience in electronics manufac-
turing, servicing, and all phases of managing 
electronics firms in both Europe and South 
Africa. 
At present Canutel employs 22 people. 
Although it is most successful for the firm to 
have students comprise not more than 25% 
of their work force, the industry currently 
has about 40% student employees. 
Production manager, Don Sinclair says, 
"Canutel likes to hire wives of students. 
They have proven very valuable because 
they are able to work full time, are pleased 
to have a good paying job on campus, are 
careful, and dependable. 
Canutel invites any married student 
who may be considering attending CUC in 
the near future to apply to Canutel if work 
for their spouse would help to make 
coming to college more accessible. 
To apply write or phone: Canutel 
Industries Ltd., Box 610, College Heights, 
Alberta TOC OZO. Phone (403) 782-4838. 
Warren Toombs, a 1985 graduate of 
CUC's two-year Electronics Technology 
Diploma program is now employed at 
Canutel. "We are very pleased to be able to 
find these qualified graduates right here at 
CUC and hope to be able to employ more 
CUC technology graduates as business 
expands," says Don Sinclair. 
When asked about prospects for the 
future, Don Sinclair said, "Our philosophy 
is that God is the Senior Partner in this 
company. We try not to do anything that 
will go against His will. That colours every 
decision we make. We are constantly 
reminded that God has His hand in this 
company and is providing for us." 
Business has grown from a mere trickle 
($50,000) in 1983 to $650,000 in 1984. "This 
year (1985) if only ten percent of our bids 
are accepted, our production will exceed 
one million dollars," Sinclair reports. 
The quality of workmanship at Canutel 
is strictly controlled. "We like to think that 
everything that leaves here is perfect," 
stresses Annie Wegmuller, Canutel vice-
president, who personally conducts the 
final quality check before shipment. 
Student wives build hi-tech electronic equip-
ment at one of Canutel's assembly lines, on the 
CUC campus. 
Canutel is equipped with the latest state-
of-the-art facilities and procedures and is 
constantly adding new equipment. 
"None of these things would have any 
impact if it were not for God's blessing. 
Orders have been received without going 
out for them. They have come in answer to 
prayer. We had some lean times, starting up 
as we did in a slack period, but since the 
beginning of 1985 representatives of very 
successful businesses have been coming to 
us with substantial contracts," says Mr. 
Wegmuller. 
"All our employees meet for worship 
each morning," Brother Sinclair continued, 
"We don't expect them to come early for 
worship. Worship is conducted on com-
pany time." 
Canutel's expansion plans include plants 
on other college campuses both in North 
MESSENGER/JUNE 1985 13 
America and abroad. Two of these extension 
factories are expected to open in 1985. 
Hugo and Annie Wegmuller have ded-
icated their industry to the support of 
Christian education. Their aim is, not only 
to provide employment opportunities for 
students and their spouses, but also to be a 
positive Christian witness through their 
business contacts and to enhance the 
spiritual tone of our college campuses 
through practical spiritual principles.

ONE MILLION 
DOLLARS 
RECEIVED BY 
MAY 15, 1985 
One third of the three million dollars 
needed to clear the loans on CUC buildings 
was received in cash by May 15, 1985. A 
special thank you to everyone who had a 
part in reaching this encouraging achieve-
ment. 
The Gideon Campaign, to run until the 
end of 1985, encourages Canadian Ad- 
President Malcolm Graham of Canadian 
Union College (left) cuts a cake recognizing 
CUC's Library having placed the 40,000 
book on its shelves. The book bringing the 
total to 40,000 is The Lord is my Shepherd, A 
History of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 
Canada. 
According to Keith Clouten (right), 
Director of CUC Library Services, on April 
25, 1985 there were actually 40,000 books 
in the library. 
Also participating in the event were 
ventists and CUC Alumni to give or raise a 
$10,000 block Three hundred such blocks, 
the number of courageous soldiers in 
Gideon's army, would provide the required 
three million dollars. 
Each $10,000 block is divided into 100 
segments of $100 each. You are encouraged 
to give as God impresses, whether the gift 
be large or small. Please remember that 
Gideon's army was so small that the only 
possibility of victory was by God's help. No 
gift was too small. It is by God's grace that 
this appeal will be successful. 
— JUNE -- 
EVERY MEMBER 
MONTH 
June is every member month. Please 
send a gift in June to the Gideon Club, 
Canadian Union College, College Heights, 
Alberta TOC OZO or mark your tithe 
envelope "CUC Gideon Club" and present 
it through your home church. If you can't 
send more, please give at least $10 in 
June. 
Your gift in June combined with those of 
hundreds of others from across Canada will 
significantly lower the balance owing at 
the bank. We are depending on you.

Faith For Today Celebrates 
Its 35th Anniversary 
active in the counseling and prayer 
ministries of the telecast. 
Stepping into the Fagals' shoes as leader 
of Faith For Today was no easy task. But 
with the Lord's guidance Dan Matthews has 
done an amazing job. It was under his 
tutelage that the television specials, "So 
Near, So Far" and "Lesson in Loving," were 
made. "So Near, So Far," a one-hour, 
prime-time television special, was a new 
adventure for Adventist television. Never 
before had Adventists made a serious 
attempt at producing and airing a program 
designed to attract the masses watching 
television in the evening. In a number of 
cities the program drew audiences that 
competed with popular network shows. 
Throughout its rich history, Faith For 
87 year-old Hulda Crooks being interviewed by 
Dan Matthews, host of Faith For Today's new 
weekly series, Christian Lifestyle Magazine. 
Famous for climbing mountains at her age, 
Hulda's story can be seen the weekend of June 
22/23 on Christian Lifestyle Magazine. 
Today has built a solid reputation of 
effectively communicating spiritual prin-
ciples. Since 1950 more than 30,000 people 
have traced their membership in the 
Seventh-day Adventist Church to the 
ministry of Faith For Today. 
In 1984, after extensive research, it was 
decided that work should proceed toward 
producing a new weekly series designed to 
attract modern television viewers. The 
result was "Christian Lifestyle Magazine," 
an energetic program unique in the world 
of religious television. Host Dan Matthews 
and co-host Suzanne Austin introduce 
viewers to people whose lives illustrate 
positive aspects of Christian lifestyle in-
cluding fitness, nutrition, relationships and 
spiritual wellness. Some of the stories are 
extraordinary, and many are heart-warming. 
A number of camp meetings this summer 
will include in their programs a special film 
introducing "Christian Lifestyle Magazine." 
Pastor and Mrs. Fagal, Dan Matthews,

MESSENGER/JUNE 1985 
Dear Friend, 
Building and fire regulations require that considerable upgrading of West Hall be 
completed by September 1, 1985 in order to retain an occupancy permit. West Hall, the 
former men's residence, is now serving as the music/fine arts building. It will cost $100,000 
to meet minimum requirements of fire and building safety codes. An engineer's report 
verifies the structural soundness of the building and recommends that it be renovated and 
kept in service. 
West Hall is needed as a home for our music and art classes, and offices. Its closure would 
be a disaster. 
It would cost $750,000 to replace West Hall. For $100,000 we can meet minimum 
requirements and for $200,000 we can do all the upgrading required to transform West Hall 
into a useful, safe, durable and attractive building. Its decor will harmonize with our master 
plan already in use in the two most recently completed buildings, Lakeview Hall and the 
John McKibbon Education Centre. 
A plan of finance in the amount of $200,000 has been approved by the Board of Trustees. 
The finance plan depends on your support. A total of $60,000 in donations is required —
$30,000 during 1985 and a similar amount in 1986. Your gifts are solicited and appreciated. 
Kindly return your pledge and/or donation along with the Donation Response form 
accompanying this letter. 
Thank you for your continued support of Christian education and of Canadian Union 
College. 
Sincerely, 
M. Graham, President 
P.S. You are encouraged to join our CUC staff and volunteers for as much time as you can arrange between June 23 and 
August 23. Room and board will be provided by CUC.

How many times have we heard of the 
story of that certain widow casting all that 
she had, two tiny mites, into the treasury, 
giving all unto the Lord. How many times 
have her actions and Christian example 
touched our souls and brought joy to our 
hearts when we heard of her devotion and 
love for the Master. 
The year was 1977. Jessie Erschbamer 
went into her boss's office, where she 
worked as a cook, to collect her pay. 
Included in the amount she had received 
were four $2.00 bills. She told her boss after 
receiving her wages that she was going to 
dedicate the $2.00 bills to the Lord for 
investment. In the conversation that followed, 
her manager said to her that had she (Jessie) 
come to the office earlier she would have 
received in her wages fifty-six dollars in 
$2.00 bills, for this is what the other cook 
who came in before had received. 
Over the years Jessie never stopped 
telling others of the $2.00 bills that she had 
dedicated to the Lord. She observed that 
some of them were impressed by what she 
was doing and they in turn are also doing 
the same, dedicating their $2.00 bills to the 
Lord. 
There are those where she works, the 
Farmers Market, and also in her own 
community that she has witnessed to of the 
personal blessings she has received from 
the dedication of "that $2.00 bill" which has 
increased to $666.00. 
Just think of the many souls she has 
touched in service for the Master, and those 
who are in need that would be helped 
somewhere around the world, by an act of 
love. 
Truly Jessie can say, "To God Be the 
Glory" — for over these past seven years He 
has made her an instrument of His peace.

Alberta 
Baptism in Beauvallon 
Sabbath, March 2, 1985 was a high day 
for the Beauvallon Church family. Our former 
pastor, Elder Daniel Rebsomen, preached 
the eleven o'clock sermon and conducted a 
baptismal service. Dennis Serna, a University 
of Alberta Junior from Two Hills, publicly 
expressed his love for Jesus and the truth for 
our time and was baptized. 
Dennis's conversion came as the result of 
his sister's testimony and christian witness. 
His sister, Lorna Serna, was among the 
C.U.C. student missionaries of 1983-84. 
During that year Lorna spent ten months as 
a teacher on the island of Palau in the 
western Pacific. 
In spite of his heavy University program 
in Agriculture, Dennis found the time to 
study his Bible twice a week with Pastor D. 
Rebsomen. While in Edmonton Dennis attends 
the Southside Church. During the summer 
months he will attend the Pobida Church in 
Beauvallon. 
Dennis and Lorna are the two youngest 
children of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Serna of Two 
Hills. 
Mrs. J. Palinka 
Archie Palinka and Pastor Rebsomen welcome 
Dennis Serna into church membership. 
Baby Dedication 
The Sedgewick Church was the scene of 
a lovely baby dedication on April 27. Alana 
Dawn Gordon and Brandon Jonah Ball were 
dedicated to the Lord in the service con-
ducted by Pastor Larry Couture. A special 
arrangement of "Jesus Loves Me" sung by 
Judy Anderson and Anita Mayberry, as well 
as the charge to the parents, given by Pastor 
Couture made this dedication very special 
to the parents, Mrs. Diane Gordon and Mr. 
and Mrs. Donald Ball. 
Carmen Klinger 
Baby Dedication 
in Smoky Lake 
A baby dedication was held on Sabbath, March 
26,1985 in the Smoky Lake Church when Benjamin 
Elliot Buchholtz, son of Elliot and Lorelei Buchholtz 
of Thorhild, Alberta was dedicated. Pastor 
Rebsomen officiated. Elliot Buchholtz became a 
baptized member of the Smoky Lake Company 
in the spring of 1984. It was a happy occasion for 
the young parents to present their new baby boy 
to the Lord. 
Maritime 
Investment Sabbath at Moncton 
Esther Lowe, is Investment leader in the 
Moncton Church. Mrs. Lowe has been 
encouraging a variety of different Investment 
projects one of which is an INVESTMENT 
BABY. Those choosing the INVESTMENT 
BABY as a project give a certain amount for 
each pound the baby gains. Mrs. Lowe is 
also encouraging the saving of MGM food 
labels, the Bic Razor project and a number of 
other things. The Investment offerings are 
growing nicely. 
Not only are some giving monies for the 
pounds that the INVESTMENT BABY gains, 
but some are giving dollars for pounds that 
others are losing. Our church is getting in 
shape! 
Evangelistic Meetings Follow 
Revelation Seminar 
Pastor Barry Hubley conducted an 
evangelistic series in the Moncton church 
during the month of April. The meetings 
came at the conclusion of two area Revela-
tion Seminars, one of which was held at one 
of the smaller towns outside Moncton by 
Pastor Hubley and layman John Wesley. 
Several have already made their decisions 
for Christ and a baptism is being planned. 
Cooking School and Seniors' 
Social at Perth/Andover 
A nutrition and vegetarian cooking 
school was held in the Perth SDA Church in 
February. The group met for five nights 
discussing many interesting topics. Besides 
the practical information discussed, such as 
food combinations to ensure maximum 
nutrition, there was a lot of talking and 
learning about supermarket psychology 
and how to be sure you are getting value for 
your dollar. The evening that new ideas for 
breakfast were presented we had a news-
paper representative spend the evening 
with us. He seemed to enjoy himself and 
did a very complimentary write-up for the 
local paper. 
Marilyn Dupuis, the pastor's wife, con-
ducted the school and Marilyn Clark and 
Lynn Bowmaster did our food demon-
strations each night. Both church members 
and non-members alike, had a fun time 
together making everything from casserole 
and entree recipes to delicious low sugar 
desserts. 
In February the social committee planned 
a party honouring the over 50 age group of 
the church, with the under 50 group 
serving. The evening started off with a 
dinner served in an atmosphere of hearts 
and flowers and quiet music. 
The guests provided their own enter-
tainment by storytelling and reminiscing. 
The oldest guest, Mrs. Elizabeth Kinney, 
who will be 90 in June, recited a long poem 
from her school days. There was musical 
entertainment also, with Jim Smith playing 
his accordion, Maxine Giberson on the 
piano and Pastor Dupuis trying to keep up 
with them on his guitar. A repeat per-
formance is scheduled for next year.

I OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE NEW 
HAMPTON 
MARANATHA CHURCH 
IN THE 
MARITIME 
CONFERENCE 
March 24 was the official opening date for the 
Hampton, New Brunswick Maranatha Church. 
The morning services started with an excellent 
Sabbath School program in which many of the 
young people participated helping especially 
with the music. Pastor Victor Gill presented an 
inspiring sermon which was followed by a 
baptism. March 24 also marked the close of an 
evangelistic series by Grant Gunter who is 
Personal Ministries Director and Evangelist for 
the Maritime Conference. Nine precious souls 
were baptized followed by two more the following 
Sabbath with several others looking forward to 
baptism in the near future.

Food shipment tor the Sudan being loaded on the ship "Happiness 11" — Over $150,000 worth of 
food from ADRA Canada.

captain before the ship departed from Montreal arriving at Port Sudan June 1. The total cargo was 
food — oil, flour, peas, milk and high protein supplement. 
UPDATE 
ON 
AFRICAN 
FAMINE 
John M. Howard 
Executive Director, ADRA, CANADA 
In Ethiopia last year a survey was taken 
for the first time ever. It showed the 
population of Ethiopia to be 32,000,000; 
however, AID workers who are there 
believe 40,000,000 to be closer to the truth. 
If we take the 32,000,000 it still makes 
Ethiopia, with a per capita gross national 
product of $142.00 per year,the poorest 
country in Africa. The life expectancy at 
birth is 40 years — the same as Chad and 
Afghanistan. These three are the lowest in 
the world. Over 85% of the population of 
Ethiopia live in the countryside. Only about 
15% of the adult population is literate. 
The average daily calorie intake is 26 
percentage points below the UN Food and 
Agriculture Organization's minimum re-
quirement. Only 6% of the population has 
access to safe drinking water, and there is 
only one doctor for every 58,000 inhabitants. 
The cultivated areas of Ethiopia lose over a 
billion tons of topsoil each year by erosion. 
At the turn of the century 40% of the 
countryside was forested. Today the figure 
is 4%. Ethiopia has the biggest livestock 
population in Africa. Although 69% of the 
country is classified as agricultural land, 
only about 15% is being used — partly 
because of the traditional settlement 
patterns, and partly because Ethiopia has 
the lowest density of rural roads of any 
nation in the world, and the third lowest 
density of all roads. Little more than 7% of 
the agricultural production is by modern 
methods, and most of this goes for coffee, 
which accounts to 61% of the exports. 
In each of the past 10 years some regions 
of Ethiopia have been affected by drought, 
and in none of these years has the nation 
produced enough food to feed itself. The 
drought from '72 to '74 was estimated at 
killing some 200,000 people. This led to the 
downfall of Hailie Selassie. 
However, attention 'now shifts from 
Ethiopia to the Sudan. Hundreds of thou-
sands of people, some say something like a 
million in all, are at this moment literally 
lying along the vast arid wilderness of the 
Sudan in various stages of sickness and 
death, so The New Internationalist reports. 
Many have marched a thousand miles or 
more from Ethiopia on the one side, or 
Chad, on the other, in the belief that the 
land is greener on the other side. At the end 
of their trek they are worse off than ever. 
There is no food, and in some places the 
tiny handful of relief workers and doctors 
who struggle to help, do not know how to 
cope. In the next few weeks there will not 
even be enough water to keep the people 
alive. There is no way the Sudan's frail 
economy can cope with a million starving 
people. Rich countries would find it hard 
going if such numbers suddenly descended 
on them. 
That is why, on Friday, May 17, in Mon-
treal, the boat "Happiness II" set sail from 
Montreal for Port Sudan. Aboard this ship 
were food commodities, including peas, 
powdered milk, wheat, flour, oil, and high 
protein supplements. Several organizations 
had food aboard this ship, including ADRA, 
CANADA. Over $150,000 worth of this food 
will be allocated to ADRA, SUDAN. A tele-
gram has just been received saying how 
great the need is in that area. The exact 
words were "Sudan has tremendous needs. 
Please apply for . . . (the aforementioned 
items)." 
It seems that no matter where we look in 
the world, there are people who are 
suffering. Tremendous efforts could take 
place to aid these people, and I know we 
will be praying for our workers there in the 
Sudan as they distribute the food to those in 
need. We want to thank each of you for the 
offering that came in on May 11. We do not 
yet have a total, but we trust that there will 
be sufficient to continue the development 
projects that are so needed.

Rick and Rob Clark after their baptism. 
Farewell Service at Nipawin 
Three Youth Baptized 
at Mount Royal Church 
Sabbath afternoon, March 30, a special 
service was held in the Mt. Royal Seventh-
day Adventist Church in Saskatoon. Three 
young people took their stand for Christ. 
Shelly Pocha, daughter of Sherryn and 
Brent Pocha, has been attending church 
school and Sabbath Services. The strong 
Christian influence of her home led her to 
desire Bible Studies from her pastor and a 
decision to be baptized. She joins her 
family as a member in the Mt. Royal 
Church. Danny Patterson, son of Elder and 
Mrs. Lee Patterson, has also been influenced 
by a Christian home and desired to publicly 
commit his life to Jesus. Ashley Cook 
became good friends with Elder Patterson 
while at summer camp helping with the 
waterfront activities and also on the Canoe 
Trip this past summer. This friendship led 
to Bible Studies and in turn to a desire for 
baptism. These youth love their Lord and 
we as a Church want to uphold them in our 
prayers. 
Left to right, back row - Ashley Cook, Elder Lee 
Patterson, Shelly Pocha, Danny Patterson. 
President Dedicates Baby 
Elder Don Madvor, President of the Manitoba-
Saskatchewan Conference, conducted the ded-
ication service for the infant daughter of Assistant 
Treasurer, Warren Walikonis and his wife 
Dawn. This beautiful service was held in the Mt. 
Royal Seventh-day Adventist Church on March 
30. Mr. Walikonis sang a special song, dedicated 
to his daughter, of the love of God and parents 
towards children. 
Manitoba- Saskatchewan 
Agape Feast and Baptism 
for Isolated Church Members 
Also a Special Baby Dedication 
Service 
Friday evening, April 5, a beautiful 
service was conducted at the home of Mr. 
and Mrs. Robert Clark of Shaunavon. They 
are members of the Conference Church 
being 80 miles from the nearest local S.D.A. 
Church. Following a request by their 2 sons 
for Bible Studies, Elder Lee Patterson 
brought down a set of studies and helped 
the boys to get started. Between visits from 
Elder Patterson and the faithful dedication 
of Christian parents, Rick and Rob Clark 
chose to commit their lives to Christ and be 
baptized. Approximately 25 guests and 
family members assembled at the Clark 
home Friday evening where they first 
participated in an Agape Feast followed by 
a service of music, counsel and prayers by 
Pastor Al Reimche and Pastor Lee Patterson. 
After their vows were taken, Rick and Rob 
were baptized there in their swimming 
pool. God's presence was very near and all 
present received a beautiful blessing. Rick 
and Rob will be joining the Conference 
Church. 
To complete this special weekend, Elder 
Lee Patterson conducted a baby dedication 
service on Sabbath for Kurtis, infant son of 
Steve and Marilyn (Clark) Schiller. 
May God richly bless their little family.

On March 16 the Nipawin, Saskatchewan Church 
said farewell to their much loved Pastor John 
Sabo, his wife Kathie, and their children Jonathan 
and Tanya. The Pastor's farewell sermon was 
followed by a lovely potluck dinner and a pre-
sentation of a silver tray engraved — "From the 
Nipawin Church Members". A purse of money 
was also given. John will pastor the Silver Heights 
and Charleswood, Manitoba Churches. 
Meet the Joe Melashenko 
Family 
The Joe Melashenko family "will sing 
again" at the Manitoba — Saskatchewan 
Campmeeting on July 12, 13, 1985. The 
father, Joe, and five sons, Lonnie, Joedy, 
Dallas, Eugene and Rudy sang together for 
several years when the children were home. 
The sons have professional and family 
responsibilities in different locations but are 
planning a famly reunion at the Man.-Sask. 
Campmeeting, near Saskatoon. The highlight 
of the reunion is "singing together again." 
Joe and Anne will also be celebrating 
their 40th wedding anniversary near where 
they were married — this time with all five 
sons present. 
The Melashenko family is well known 
across Canada through Joe's affiliation with 
the Voice of Prophecy and the King's Heralds 
Quartet, his evangelistic crusades in Canada, 
as a recording artist for Chapel Records, and 
as the "Voice of the Deep" on radio fund 
raising programs and as a public school 
teacher in Western Canada. He is doing 
evangelism in Central California. 
Lonnie's work with George Vandeman 
on the It Is Written television program on 10 
major stations in Canada and the Canadian 
It Is Written Seminars including a week-
long seminar at the Ontario camp in 1981, 
has touched many lives in Canada. 
The last time the family sang together 
was 10 years ago in the Vallejo Drive Church 
in Glendale, California. 
The whole family is excited about this 
reunion to meet their many friends and to 
"sing together again." Come and meet and 
hear them at the Man.-Sask. campmeeting, 
July 12, 13.

MULTI-MILLION 
DOLLAR 
PROJECT 
Left to right: Hon. John Bucklaschuk, Minister of 
Housing for Manitoba presenting cheque to 
Donald M. Maclvor, Chairman of the Board of 
East Park Lodge. 
The historical development of Personal 
Care Homes, across Canada, was initiated 
by Elder Anthony Kaytor. Saskatchewan's 
"Sunnyside," located in Saskatoon, opened 
its hospitable doors in 1963, followed by 
Park Manor, with a complement of one 
hundred beds, in '67, in Transcona, Winni-
peg. Elder Kaytor's identification with 
Adventist philosophy, accentuated by his 
personal experience with our healthcare 
practice and clinical performance, justifiably 
endorsed him as the first administrator of 
our monumental medical, and educational 
centre, the North York Branson Hospital, 
Toronto. 
Throughout subsequent years, and re-
sulting from the vision and collective 
initiative of conference executive com-
mittees, enthusiastically sustained by the 
laity, six other denominationally-controlled 
Personal Care Homes extend from New 
Brunswick to Vancouver Island. 
But we must desist in our penchant to 
ramble in our preamble! 
Our dominant theme, and our pre-
dominant emphasis is, of course, implicit in 
the exciting events associated with Park 
Manor Personal Care Home. On Thursday, 
March 14, government dignitaries, church 
leaders, President James W. Wilson, and 
Executive Secretary Glen Maxson, repre-
senting the Church in Canada, together 
with professional representatives from 
health-care organizations, assembled for 
the ground breaking ceremony signalling 
the imminent commencement of the con-
crete externalization of the six-storey Senior 
Citizens Complex: East Park Lodge. 
This modern and highly functional 
facility, exhibited to the assembly through 
the artist's colourful, conceptual impression, 
reflected the grand ultimate in contemporary 
concept, and unique design. Located on our 
own land, this commendable capital in-
vestment, will complement our adjacent 
Home which will be extended to facilitate 
connecting access to the Seniors Complex. 
Of the 3.3 million dollars involved in this 
praiseworthy enterprise, $265,000 is al-
located to extension of the Home's kitchen 
and dining room. Investigation, planning 
and source of funding, have been prayer-
fully, critically and carefully negotiated by 
A. George Rodgers, 
Consultant, Health Care Institutions 
Park Manor's Board, and administration. 
The parent organization, too, has enthusi-
astically confirmed this plan. Funding, at 
periodic intervals, will involve Federal and 
Provincial treasuries. The Federal subsidy 
will eventuate annually in the dimension of 
$291,000; whilst 2.9 million dollars, the 
fiscal backbone of the project, will be 
available through one of Canada's out-
standing chartered banks. 
It was exciting, and exhilarating, to 
witness presentation of the Manitoba 
government's cheque, accomplished in the 
substantial sum of $166,987. This formality 
was undertaken by The Honourable John 
Bucklaschuk, Minister of Housing, and the 
smiling, appreciative recipient, President 
Don Maclvor, rendered himself appro-
priately articulate for the negotiable in-
strument at long last endorsing govern-

mental participation, and approval, of this 
grandiose project. 
The occasion was of such history-
making significance, that it also attracted 
The Honourable Bill McKnight, Minister 
for C.M.H.C. (represented by a distinguished 
colleague); also The Honourable Wilson 
Parasiuk, Minister of Energy and Mines, 
and Minister for Manitoba Hydro and MLA 
for Transcona. Speeches from each of the 
visiting dignitaries, was in acclaim of 
Seventh-day Adventist secular philosophy 
so practically and devotedly demonstrated 
in its humanitarian pursuits and objec-
tives. 
Your consultant would stand self-indicted, 
and remiss, indeed, if due acknowledge-
ment of the indefatigable endeavours of 
Administrator Don Laing, was omitted 
from this report. His performance through-
out the entire ceremony, revealed his 
research in protocol, and his flawless 
conduct of this auspicious occasion was 
essentially an accomplishment evoking our 
pardonable pride! 
It was proper, appropriate and well-
deserving, that government speeches, 
augmented by President MacIvor, paid due 
and well-earned recognition of Park Manor's 
previous executive officer, William Olson. 
Administrator Olson explored possibilities, 
impressed his Board with the potentialities 
resident in a Senior Citizens Complex, and 
made the initial representations to govern-
ment, culminating in feasibility studies, 
approval in principle, leading to blessed 
implementation! 
Administrator Ed Gallant, West Park 
Manor, presented a fascinating, and well-
researched History of Seventh-day Ad-
ventist Organizational Services. As Dean of 
Nursing Home Administrators in Canada, 
none was better equipped, or professionally 
qualified, to present with such clarity, the 
historicity of our humanitarian involve-
ment with health-care, not only here in 
Canada, but within the broad spectrum of 
our health and caring endeavours through-
out the world.

ful lay people, and Pastor John Lyons performed 
the baptismal rite. Pictured are Garland Legge,

"Go, Wash in the Pool of Siloam" 
The Saskatoon and area residents recently 
watched as the story of John 9 was acted out by 
ministers and laymen of the local Seventh-day 
Adventist Churches. The healing of the blind 
man by Jesus was a beautiful example of Christ's 
love for suffering humanity. It also was a lesson 
in true Sabbath observance. Many hours of 
practice went into this production and it was a 
very effective play. Here the blind man, Pastor 
Miller, stands before the Sanhedrin. Mrs. Sherryn 
Pocha led out and organized the entire play.

the Kingsview Village and Malton churches 
in the recent Prophecy Crusade which they

Vietnamese Refugees 
Tuyen and Hong Nguyen came to 
Vancouver nearly six years ago from Vietnam 
having escaped in a small boat and even-
tually waiting in a camp in Singapore for 
sponsorship. The Vancouver Central 
Seventh-day Adventist Church agreed to 
be responsible for this couple and paid for 
their rent and food and other essentials 
until jobs could be secured. 
On March 30, the church members 
celebrated with Tuyen and Hong the birth 
of their daughter, Jacqueline. Both Tuyen 
and Hong have been successful in finding 
employment and have recently moved to a 
new condominium from their original 
apartment house. The Nguyen's requested 
special prayer for Hong's parents safe 
arrival in Vancouver this month as their 
passports had almost expired and no word 
had been received. 
Baby Jacqueline received a stroller, a 
highchair and other gifts and many best 
wishes. She will be dedicated to the Lord in 
April.

Heidi and Doris, and for the influence of Seventh-
day Adventist Christian friends. 
Baby Dedication at Nanaimo 
The Nanaimo Church was very pleased to witness a 
special baby dedication service for Candace Nadine,

50th Wedding Anniversary 
Celebration for Kenzles 
Wilfred and Ida Kenzie celebrated 50 years of 
marriage in the company of about 60 friends in 
the fellowship room of the Vernon Church on

program presented by various members of the 
church in honour of the couple. The Kenzles 
were married in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, on 
February 7, 1935, and lived there before moving 
to Vernon 13 years ago. The couple has 7 
children, 14 grandchildren, and 3 great-grand-
children. The family is planning a gathering in 
their honour in Sylvan Lake in July. They have 
been members of the Adventist church for over 
30 years.

Lifestyle Dimensions 
Tabloid 
Almost two years ago Metro Vancouver 
pastors thought that if they were to ever 
reach people in that complex city, they 
needed to organize and execute programs 
together. That they did. The result: se-
quence evangelism and Adventist Aware-
ness in the media. 
While evaluating the promotional suc-
cess of their 1984 programs, the pastoral 
counsel agreed that they wanted a tabloid. It 
would promote Revelation Seminars, give 
health information, advertise lifestyle events, 
offer free information on positive lifestyles 
and Biblical topics as well as aid in name 
recognition for the church. 
So, for the meetings which began in 
February, 1985, LIFESTYLE DIMENSIONS 
was born. This eight-page newspaper-for-
mat promotional piece carried stories on 
Lifestyle Line, the effects of caffeine, protein 
in one's diet, cancer prevention, N.E.W. 
S.T.A.R.T., plus, a free book offer and an 
invitation to church. 
"We realized many positive results 
which we weren't expecting," said Paul 
Richardson, editor of the one-time paper. 
Below are listed some of the comments and 
results of LIFESTYLE DIMENSIONS. 
K More than 250 calls in the first four days 
after delivery. (i.e. requesting health 
information, Revelation Seminar di-
rectors, INFO TEL, health seminar 
registration etc.) 
K Over 100 letters arrived at the Con-
ference office requesting much the 
same as above (40 of which requested 
some religious information or Bible 
studies). 
K More than 35 requested registration 
information for N.E.W. S.T.A.R.T. at 
Camp Hope. 
K "I live in Deep Cove. Do you nave a 
church here? You have such an inter-
esting approach to health." 
K "Your flyer is excellent. I'd give it top 
marks in all categories - layout, content, 
design." (a Vancouver editor)

Ground is Broken 
for Victoria — Sidney School 
Land search for a combined school, 
suitable distance to both church locations, 
has kept Victoria and Sidney church members 
busy for some years, and at the right time the 
Lord has miraculously provided a beautiful 
parcel of land to the delight of all. 
Ground breaking for a new combined 
church school took place on March 2 on the 
property site of 4.65 acres, nine miles north 
of the Victoria Center. 
Conference President Gary DeBoer 
officiated by giving a dedicatorial addres 
with local pastors Mal Atwood of the Sidney 
congregation and Les Anderson of the 
Victoria Church offering prayers. A large 
number of members came to support. 
It is anticipated that the new school will 
be ready for use in the New Year, 1986. A 
three-teacher school, grades 1 through 10, 
which will include Science Computer and 
Business courses, Home Economics and 
French is planned. 
The Victoria and Sidney churches have 
been operating a combined campus school 
for some years at Bowerbank Road, Sidney, 
under the name Vancouver Island Junior 
Academy. The current principal, Glen 
Sandness and Shari Ganson, lower grade 
teacher, will be joined by Cathy Pflieger in 
the fall. �

Acronix Team Tours West 
The Acronix, a 21-member gymnastics team from Fraser Valley Adventist Academy, 
recently completed a tour of Alberta and British Columbia. 
The team is the result of several years of dedicated leadership by their coach, Gwen

The theme of their performance was Man in Motion. They began and ended the show 
giving God the glory, recognizing him as their creator, their benefactor and their Saviour.

Creek Adventist, were nominated for the 
Living Proof Award by the RCMP Highway 
Patrol in March.

it would have been a fatal accident had 
approved seat belts not been worn. 
Both men are recuperating well from 
fractures, whiplashes, bumps and bruises. 
Steve and Siegrid Renaud were baptized at 
Kelowna and this day was especially memorable 
because their son Dale was dedicated at the same 
service. Linda Daker was also baptized. The new 
daughter of Hector and Beth Odiyar, Mai-Rhea 
Laurice was dedicated also by Pastor David Ellis, 
centre.

"Friends of Canada" 
Honours First President 
Approximately 190 persons were in 
attendance at the 44th annual meeting of 
"Friends of Canada," an organization of 
Southern California for Canadians, and 
those who have lived or worked in Canada. 
The gathering was held on the La Sierra 
Campus with Irene McEachern of Thou-
sand Oaks, California, president of the 
organization, chairing the program. 
The first president of "Friends of 
Canada," Dr. Ewald A. Bower, M.D. of 
Grass Valley, California, was the speaker. 
He was introduced by Dr. Elmer Kelln, 
D.D.S. of Loma Linda, who gave the 
following facts in his introduction: 
Dr. Bower was born 
in Inglis, Manitoba in 
1907. He was a teacher 
and principal of our 
Vancouver, British 
Columbia school for 
four years, then served 
as head of the Science 
Department at Osh-
awa Missionary Col- 
lege for three years. 
Ewald A. Bower, M.D. 
In 1940 he grad- 
uated from the Loma Linda University 
School of Medicine, retiring from his 
medical practice in 1979. However, it was 
not the usual retirement - instead he served 
as anesthesiologist at the Bangkok Hospital 
in Thailand for three years. He is currently 
working with the American Cancer Society 
as a lecturer in Public Education, and serves 
as director of the Outpatient Department at 
Weimar Institute. 
"Friends of Canada" was organized in 
1941, with Dr. Bower as its first president, a 
responsibility that he carried for the first 
four years. Dr. Kelln presented Dr. Bower 
with a plaque of appreciation for his 
dedication and services to the club. 
Representing Canada, and specifically 
Canadian Union College, was Harvey 
Jacobson who gave an updated report of 
developments and progress at the college. 
Officers for the ensuing year were voted 
as follows: president, Mrs. Joy Stickle 
Erickson of La Sierra; vice-president, Marvin 
Nickel of Loma Linda; and secretary-
treasurer, Mrs. Pearl (Marvin) Nickel. 
The next "Friends of Canada" evening is 
scheduled for March 8, 1986 at La Sierra.
