In a Nutshell
NATIONAL CONVENTION—The first nationwide gathering of
the Seventh-day Adventist Church Musicians’ Guild was held at
Andrews University July 30-August 1. Al Mays, president of the
Southern California chapter for five years, is now the field repre-
sentative. He reports there are now 15-18 Adventist Musicians’
Guilds scattered across the U.S. The southern California chapter
was the first to organize. Agenda items for adoption included a
constitution and bylaws. Colleges were represented.
OFFICE FAREWELL FOR THREE—Ruth Gadie, bookkeeper in
the treasury department for two and a half years, will be moving
with her family to Santa Rosa. Joyce Francis, printer's assistant
in the workroom for three years, has enrolled in the LVN training
course at Glendale City College. A continental breakfast was held
for Branson Chrispens, Conference lay activities director who re-
tired, and these two on August 17.

church’s current project—the
free health and welfare vehicle,
“Health on Wheels.” It will be
available for city emergencies
and will screen residents for
early detection of cancer, glau-
coma, hypertension, and general
health information. Doctors, li-
censed nurses, and dentists will
perform these services.
“Lest We Forget” requires a
cast of over 50 including the
chorus. Those who have worked
to make this historical drama
succeed personally invite you
to attend.

Hospital Truck Goes to Mexico
The Glendale Adventist Medi-
cal Center and two local or-
ganizations have provided a
much-needed truck for the Ad-
ventist Association Hospital
and its school in Baja Califor-
nia, Mexico.
In good condition, the truck
had been in service at the Medi-
cal Center laundry, but is no
longer needed. It was made
available to the Association for
8500—less than a third of its
value.
Responding to this opportu-
nity, the Dimensionetix Corpor-
ation of North Hollywood pro-
this fall?
Update ......
ELDER BRANSON CHRISPENS was honored August 17
at a special conference breakfast at which the office staff
paid tribute to his 19 years of dedicated service in Southern.
He worked first as pastor at Inglewood and next at Van Nuys.
For the last several years he’s been the Conference lay activi-
ties secretary. We shall greatly miss him. Our prayers ac-
company him and Martha as they spend the next year in
the Northern European-West African Division with Elder
Doleman in evangelistic work.
TITHE FIGURES for the month of July show an excellent
increase over July, 1975. We thank God and each of you
who is in partnership with God through faithful stewardship.
Please pray that the Spirit of the Lord will so fill every mem-
ber in the Southern California Conference that His work
may progress more rapidly. The soul-winning work in South-
ern is limited by lack of funds. Past years have demonstrated
that additional money in evangelism will win additional
souls. Our goal is to increase the number of people brought
into the Church and into God's kingdom of grace each year.
ANNUAL TEACHERS’ MEETING was held August 22-26.
Nearly 241 teachers gathered at Newbury Park to renew their
dedication to the salvation of our youth. Is every child and
young person in your church enrolled for Christian education
vided the funds to purchase the
vehicle, and an offer by Gene's
Paint and Body Shop of Mon-
trose for a new paint job was
gratefully accepted.
Loaded with X-ray equip-
ment, roofing materials, lumber
and soybeans, the truck left for
the small hospital in Baja soon
thereafter.

$200 PER MONTH — Each
book in this rack normally costs
40 cents. But when Barney and
Kay Matheson decided to give
them away free, it became their
personal missionary project. The
Mathesons have been in the
health-food-store business 18
years. Their store, Full O’ Life,
at 2575 West Magnolia Boule-
vard in Burbank has 20 employ-
ees. Mr. Matheson says, “Since
we can’t talk to all our custom-
ers, we witness in this way. The
$200 a month it costs me to do
this is more than worth it.”
There are 140 such racks in
Southern. Is one of these yours?
