This agency can reach and influence the public mind as no other means can. The press, controlled by men who are sancti- fied to God, can be a power in- deed for good in bringing men to the knowledge of the truth." C. E. p. 28. It is indeed commendable that the church has taken heed to this counsel and paid much attention to this phase of God's work. Those who engage in the colpor- teur ministry contribute a great deal to the spreading of the gospel. They are the real pioneers of the Message. We have for example, Brother Abraham La Rue, who came to Hong Kong from the Unite States and though along in years was able to start the litera- ture evangelism in the Far East. Of such ministry Sr. White has written, "We cannot too highly estimate this work; for were it not for the efforts of the canvasser many would never hear the warn- ing." C. E. p. 3. Colporteurs are the feet of the church as it were, for they find their way into places where other workers have never been, opening up the work in areas hard of ac- - cess. Romans 10:15 says, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel ,of peace and bring glad tidings of good things."

Wu Veteran Colpor- teur Evangelist in China, Burma, Malaya and Singapore. fully for it is by walking he enters into the villages and unfrequented places, and also climbs up and down the many stairs found in city apartment houses. His income varies from day to day, sometimes more sometimes less. One day he may receive nothing for his labors yet another day he receives a double portion. In spite of this uncertainty he fol- lows the instruction given by the Lord, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33. The literature evangelist finds the prom- ises of God unfailing. Again, this statement comes from the pen of God's Messenger, "The worker who has the cause of God at heart will not insist on receiving the highest wages. C. E. p. 51. If a colporteur loses his motive in service, which motive should be that of saving souls, and seeks only to become rich in the material things of this world he will soon become disappointed. In a short time he will seek other em- ployment. On the other hand, if the one who engages in such minis- try with right incentives gives back to the Lord His own in tithes and offerings, he is assured of a living wage. Yet the material gain is not comparable to the joy gained in meeting the people, sympathiz- ing with them in their problems of life, helping them when they are in need, praying with them and in showing them the way to the Master. Colporteurs are real soldiers of the cross. They must put on the whole armor of God and be ready to resist the evil designs of Satan. They must fight the good fight of faith, daily consecrating their lives to their Captain and to their task. Regardless of whether sales are good or not they must adopt a cheerful, smiling attitude. In order to remind them of their ultimate goal they should be ever ready to distribute free litera- ture and to secure enrollments for the Voice of Prophecy correspond- ence courses. Prayer becomes a mighty force with the colporteur 2 � THE MESSENGER � August, 1958 evangelist, for by seeking the Lord for strength and wisdom in his work he does receive favor from'. God in sales obtained, and in bringing souls to Christ. Such a salesman should be an ambassador for God spreading good will and good cheer wher- ever he goes. As is the minister in the pulpit so is the colporteur in his sphere for their aims are the same, that is, to bring souls into the kingdom of God. They are a savor of life unto life. They cheer, encourage and comfort the people. It does not take a highly ed- ucated man to become a success- ful colporteur evangelist. He must be a man of faith, willing to work amidst hardship and difficulties. However, this ministry does need men of education and culture, for we read this statment in Colpor- teur Evangelist, page 15, "Let none think that it belittles a minister of the gospel to engage in can- vassing as a means of carrying the truth to the people. In doing this work he is laboring in the same manner as did the apostle Paul." I can testify to the fact that the Lord is able to use a man of little knowledge. I enrolled in our school in Amoy, China when I was twenty years old and was baptized into this truth at the age of twenty-two. It has been my privilege to be connected with the canvassing work for over thirty years, including ten years as pub- lishing secretary for the South China Union. My ministry has taken me into the provinces of South China, Hong Kong Formosa, Macau, Burma, Singapore and Malaya. More than ten persons have accepted our message as a direct result of my contact with them through this means. I have six children living. The oldest son is pastoring one of our churches in Malaya. The second and third sons are furthering their education in the United States. They support themselves by can- vassing for our literature. An- other son is on his way to the States to attend one of our schools after spending sometime in Aus- tralia. The other two attend the Southeast Asia Union College here in Singapore. The canvassing work, I believe, is the very best training youth can receive as they prepare for their life work, or if they choose, to remain in this wonderful, God- given ministry for the salvation of mankind. I am so thankful I have had the privilege during the past years to labor in this cap- acity as a soul-winner.

Lee 166 Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur 11111011111WJAJILLILIJAJJ A Resume of the Kuala Lumpur Evangelistic Efforts T. C. Chin, President Mission of Malaya It was voted during the annual executive committee meeting held early this year for each of our churches in this mission to hold two evangelistic efforts in 1958. Short efforts have been held so far in each of the following churches. The Penang English church, Ipoh church, Bagan Datoh church, Sungei Way church, Kuala Lumpur English Church, Kuala Lumpur Chinese Church, Serem- ban Church, Kluang Church, and and Singapore, Balestier Road English Church. Nearly all of these were successful in winning souls. Bible classes are now being con- ducted for those who have ex- pressed themselves to be interested in the Advent Message. I want to call our readers at- tention to a few of these efforts. Pastor Chan Sing Chor, pastor of the Kuala Lumpur Chinese Church was the speaker for the Chinese effort. He felt at first it would be better to hold his effort in the Teh Sin School auditorium as he had done the previous year rather than in the church located on 166 Bukit Bintang Road. He felt because of transportation dif- ficulties, he could not maintain an audience in this church. However, after much persuasion he finally agreed to conduct the effort in the church. The attendance was not as good as we would like to have had but the general interest throughout the series of twenty-five lectures was far better than the series held in the Teh Sin School the previous year. We had been having a great deal of rain. It was suggested in my Sabbath school class that we exercise the faith of Elijah and pray the rain would discontinue during our effort. The class must have followed this counsel for there was no rain during this per- iod except for a little the first and last nights. We felt God had heard our prayers in this matter. The Kuala Lumpur English Church held its effort during the corresponding period in the same church at a different hour. Brother John Toh, the pasor, was fearful lest the attendance drop off after the first few meetings so asked if he could discontinue the effort if this prove to be the case. I was not in accord with this plan, so encouraged him to keep right on although there might be but a few attending each night. We were indeed pleased when al- most two score young people at- tended nightly. During the twenty- five nights' meetings none missed more than two of the lectures. Many were inspired by the re- soluteness and enthusiasm the young folks manifested in bringing their friends to these lectures. Their faithful efforts will no doubt be rewarded in seeing some take their stand for this message. It paid to send our budding young ministers to Elder C. C. Cleveland's institute and to the spearhead effort he held in Singa- port last November. Brother John Toh practiced the methods he had observed used which we call the "Cleveland method of preaching." He used much of Elder Cleveland's style and everyone of his lectures was Christ centered. Thus he kept the young people and some of the older ones coming every night. The entire audience showed the greatest interest in his subjects because of his interesting presenta- tion. Brother Ray Seet, who is teach- ing in the Teh Sin School, led out night by night, in a lively song service. Everyone enjoyed this part of the meetings. His directing was in inspiration to all. It is my belief when this younger generation receives a vision of the urgency of evangelism they will do great things in these last days for God.

With these in hand it took the judges one and a half hours to find who the winners would be. Finally, after much discussion they named the most outstanding jingles. First prize of fifteen dollars was won by James Ho. His jingle contained sixteen words. He re- ceived about ninety-four cents per word. Here is his jingle: "Tobacco's a poison, Alcohol's the same. They never bring you glory, They only bring you shame." The second prize winner was Samuel Chong. For his twenty-five word jingle he received ten dollars which was about forty cents per word. "An accident—what a scene to see! Two killed, and injured—three. They searched for the cause and found A drunken driver on the ground." The lucky third prize winner of five dollars was Young Yau Kong. His eleven word jingle brought him about forty-five cents per word and this is how his jingle goes: "You are happy, You are free; An abstainer You must be." The judges chosen for this jingle contest were Mr. Miller, Pastor Wilcox, Mr. James Wong and Miss Levos. To promote the ITA program an article featuring the aim and the nature of its work was sub- mitted to the Singapore Standard for June twenty-five. This has aroused public interest as indicat- ed by the number of letters re- ceived concerning this most im- portant work.

August, 1958 � THE MESSENGER � 5 English Church Evangelistic Effort in the Capitol of the Federation of Malaya Ray Seet Teacher, Teh Sin School, Kuala Lumpur These words of king Solomon apply even in our present day, "A true witness will deliver souls." Proverbs 14:25. But why should a soul be delivered? from where? and how? To meet the demands of these questions has been the aim of our humble Kuala Lumpur evangelistic effort group. The an- swer came through the presenta- tion of Jesus our Saviour. By all rights of justice all are doomed to be lost except by His interven- tion in our behalf. We are told in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." However, Jesus condescended to deliver sinful flesh, He, "Who was delivered for our offences and was raised again for our justification." Romans 4:25. We, His followers should be witnesses of this fact. When plans were laid in Kuala Lumpur for evangelistic meetings to be held in the English church of this city we somehow felt these should be a church affair, so all church members worked toward this end. We do thank the Lord for the faithful Kuala Lumpur few who are shining lights in this capi- tol. Some are on fire for God and their enthusiasm is infectious. This is especially true of the young people of our church. Two boys, James Wong Kong Hon and Low Saw Choong, from the Kishan Dial School, witnessed for their Master in a very wonderful way. Their courage and faithfulness should be a challenge to all Seventh-day Adventist youth. Be- cause of their consistent Chris- tian lives these boys were able to attract more than fifteen of their classmates to the services nightly. Some showed great interest. Now ten of these young men attend all of our Sabbath services. Surely God is working a spiritual refor- mation amongst us. A church member who works for the government brought most of his fellow office workers with him to the meetings, hence there was a keen competition between the two groups. In this way an encouraging nightly attendance was maintained through the series of studies. These public meetings resulted in many experiences which shall be cherished long as an evidence God's spirit is still striving with the hearts of men for their salva- tion through human agencies. A Mr. Noel, a member of the Vinning Road Chapel, became quite perturbed over what he heard at our meetings. When he inquired of his pastor as to why we wor- ship on Saturday instead of Sun- day he answered him with the often repeated argument that these are peculiar people who cling to Jewish fanaticism. He was also cautioned not to have anything to do with us. This only aroused the young man's curiosity. He visited Mr. John Toh, the church pastor, on several occasions. Mr. Noel is well read as one soon ob- serves in conversing with him. He has shown great interest as a result of these contacts with our mes- sage. May our Master Guide lead him into all truth! A quiet young man, a Mr. Low Kong Seng, is a teacher in train- ing in Kuala Lumpur. As a re- sult of the working of the Holy Spirit upon his heart he has al- lowed the good seed to spring up and bear fruit in his life. He is keeping the Sabbath and has also started paying his tithe. He has accepted Leviticus eleven and is now preparing for baptism. He is very joyful in His Christian experience. Let us not forget our first love in serving the Master. May God help us to regain it if we have lost it, or retain it if we have kept it, and may it ever be our pur- ' pose to convey God's salvation to others. God's Wonderful Love Proclaimed Mrs. Ng Gim Chuan I do want to thank my heaven- ly Father for all His wonderful blessings to me. Before I accept- ed Jesus as my Friend and Saviour I was far from being happy. Nor did I know how to live a life that would bring the happiness I so craved. One of my granddaughters came to visit me and observing my state of unhappiness said, "Grandma, I know how you can be made to rejoice. Many people in Pontian have been made so happy attending Mr. Lee's meet- ings and hearing the messages he is teaching." I understood that the truths he was presenting were found in the Bible but I did not have a copy of this marvelous book which would bring such hap- piness to one. Thinking my grand- daughter might be able to find me one I asked, "Could you not sup- ply me with this book?" She did this and what a wonderful help it ha,, been to me. Now I was readS, to receive instruction from Mr. Lee. I went to see him and told him I wanted to believe God and accept Him into my life but I did not know the way. He talked to me about God's love and about Him being the true God of heaven, whom I should worship and not the gods made by men, of wood and stone. Then one day Mr. and Mrs. Lee visited me. While there I gave them my idol, -the one I had kept in my home and which I had wor- shipped without receiving the hap- piness and joy that I so longed for. Since then Mr. Lee's daugh- ter has been taking me to the services. My heart was won and I decided to give myself to the true God of heaven and to accept Jesus Christ as my Saviour. After mak- ing my decision to become a part of the true Church of God I told my husband that I had decided to become a Christian. This made him very unhappy but I felt I could not go back to my old way of life no matter how much I was opposed by those I love. So I was baptized November 19, 1956. Such peace of mind I have had since I have been traveling the heavenly way, and 0 how happy I have been! Many years before my conver- sion I had suffered greatly from severe headaches. I do want to thank the Lord for His healing power for the headaches are all gone now and too, my oldest son suffered from trachoma and stom- ach trouble for one and a half years. The doctors could do little to help him. I prayed for him so often and God heard my pray- ers and healed him! How thank- ful I am for such a prayer hear- ing and answering God. He is so good and kind to my family yet my husband does not believe the Truth.

H. Wentland, Jr. Chairman Vietnam Mission A telegram was delivered to our house in Dalat during the last two days of our most refreshing vacation. The message did not state why they requested my presence so urgently in Tourane on a date three days later. I knew that our mission evangelist, Pastor Pham Thien,, and his team com- posed of Pastor Pham Truong Thanh and three of the training school students were in that area in a campaign to win souls for the kingdom. They had not wirt- ten of their work in any detail so I had only a vague idea of what to expect. Returning to Saigon I learned that the Sabbath before a special freewill offering had been taken to assist in the erection of a new church building where our team had been holding meetings. Furthermore, I learned, because the amount raised was sufficient to clear the church building project of debt, they were planning a church dedication as well. We all rejoiced in this rapid development. Our mission treasurer, Mr. Martin and Mr. Rojo, our able hospital technician and nurse, accompanied me to Tourane for the grand occasion. The first of May Brother Tan Phong of our Cholon Chinese church donated to the mission a Standard pick-up which was prac- tically new to be used in the work of evangelism. This has proved to be most valuable in the team's program. We wish here to make a public statement of grat- itude to his generosity. Two months ago Pastor Thien and his group began working in the vicinity of the Duc My church, holding short series of revival meetings among its members. From there they conducted several public August, 1958 My church each Sabbath. These folks had long anticipated the time when they could have a church in their village. They did not wait in idleness however, for they organiz- ed a branch Sabbath School there to interest the non-believers. By their faithful witness and the tire- less efforts and kindness of Pastor Xuan who cares for that district, many had become interested in the church and had confidence in it. In this village the team con- ducted about ten days of meetings which culminated in the move to go forward in faith to build a church. One of the training school eftfitlf1-4-071516 meetings in a number of surround- ing villages. Each night they lit up the outdoor meeting spot with the gasoline generator and with the loud speaking system attracted large crowds. Everyone came and they insisted on staying as late as eleven o'clock at night for two or three nights. A message was preached then opportunity was given for questions, from those among the audience, about Ad- ventists and what they believe. The last series was held in a vil- lage called Quang Hue where a number of members lived who walked quite a distance, taking them two hours to reach the Duc August, 1958 � THE MESSENGER � 7 students assisting in the series and whose home village it was, con- tributed the land on which to build. Poor as these folks are they sacrificed to the limit to col- lect about 4,000 piasters from the local members. The Saigon church responded with another 8,000 piasters. This cleared the project of debt so it could be dedicated immediately upon completion. Sim- ple as it is, it is a good church considering how little it cost. The members set to work and did practically all the labor without charge. The church is made with a heavy timber frame, a galvanized roof and a woven bamboo wall that is mud filled and white wash- ed. It seats an amazing number of people. On Friday afternoon, June 20, many officials and respresentatives from other religious bodies at- tended our formal opening ex- ercises. That night two evange- listic sermons were preached to the throng and the next morning, after Sabbath school. we had a little service to organize its twenty charter members into a church. The dedication immediately follow- ing brought considerable joy to the hearts of these faithful mem- bers on this day when their dream had been realized. Sabbath after- noon twenty-four were baptized, some to join the new Quang Hue church while the remainder will be entered on the Due My records. Saturday night forty-two Voice of Prophecy students received their diplomas which they will very proudly display on the walls of their homes. On Sunday Brother Rojo held clinic all day in which he treated over two hundred pa- tients. This has meant a great deal to these fine people. At this time an interesting ob- servation was made. We found these people will come and will want to stay late for only a few meetings at a. time though a long and fascinating series of studies have been planned. So the work of evangelism in such areas serves to awaken an interest, or to cul- minate the convictions, of those who have been receiving Bible studies for some time, in this in- stance, by Pastor Xuan. As we left it was reassuring to ralize that from the Quang Hue series alone, there were thirty-four who had taken their stand for Christ and would be receiving further instruction in preparation for baptism some time in the future. Next year Pastor Thien will return to this district to con- duct other spearhead meetings and to bind off the interest in some other villages which are now wait- ing a church. They Worked Together V. E. Kelstrom, Home Missionary Secretary Southeast Asia Union The 1958 Harvest Ingathering Campaign in Singapore has been a victory campaign in every sense of the word. Although the goal set was the highest in the history of our work in this city, not only was the goal reached but it was exceeded by a thirty percent over- flow. The campaign began June 9 and ended July 19. Each church had its own goal as follows: The English church $10,000.00, The Chinese Church $10,000.00 and the Malay Church $2,000.00. The College Church helped the College reach its goal consequently it did not have a separate one. It was $18,500.00. Likewise the Chinese Mission School did not have a separate goal but helped the Chinese Church in its endeavor. The goal set for all the Singapore churches was $40,500.00. The amount raised totaled more than $54,000.00 Our church members responded wonderfully. Their willing response and whole hearted participation accounts for the tremendous over- flow. Over one hundred members helped the English Church raise almost $12,000.00. More than thirty-five reached the minute- man goal of $75.00. (It takes $75.00 to support the world wide work of Seventh-day Adventists for one minute.) Forty-two mem- bers from the Chinese Church took part, some of whom reached the minuteman goal. This church raised a total of $13,633.10, which includes $4,280.00 solicited by the students of the Chinese Mission School. The Malay Church raised almost $2,500.00 Eight members participated. The Southeast Asia Union Col- lege and the Chinese Mission School had their field days July 2 and 3. About 700 from the College took part in raising over $26,000.00. Although none of the children in the Chinese Mission School are Seventh-day Adventists 160 of them solicited over $4,000. 00. It was their first time for such a venture. Together the two schools raised over $30,000.00. The school's administration, the teachers, and students are to be commended for their outstanding accomplishment. Their record bespeaks good leader- ship, thorough organization, and an excellent school spirit. The success attained in this In- gathering Campaign is not the re- sult of any special promotion or new methods. It is rather the result of willing enthusiastic par- ticipation on the part of our church members. They alone raised al- most $20,000.00. They united their efforts with that of students, teach- ers, pastors, and other workers to make this campaign the most suc- cessful in the history of Ingather- ing here in Singapore. She Brought Her Husband V. E. Kelstrom Sabbath School Secretary Southeast Asia Union One Sabbath in every year is dedicated, in a special sense, to the objective of increasing our Sab- bath School membership. For this reason September 13 has been de- signated "Sabbath School Visitor's Day" for 1958. On this Sabbath, throughout the world, the members will endeavor to invite as many as possible to visit their Sabbath Schools. Every one is encouraged and expected to bring at least one visitor. Many will bring more. By this means many Sabbath Schools more than double their attendance on that day. Many of these visitors enjoy meeting with us so much they come again the following Sabbath. They soon be- come regular members. Before long they are ready for baptism. By this simple process many pre- cious souls are won to Christ every year. On "Sabbath School Visitor's Day" two years ago, one of our Adventist sisters in America invited a friend to attend with her. She accepted the invitation and by all appearances enjoyed the service. Our sister, being a bit timid and fearing she might offend her friend, refrained from inviting her the next Sabbath. Sabbath came and our good sister went to Sabbath School as 8 � THE MESSENGER � August, 1958 VOL. 8 August No. 8 Published monthly as the official organ of the S. D. A.

Turn- ing around, she was surprised to see not only the lady whom she had brought with her the previous Sabbath, but also the woman's husband. They have been coming ever since.

Elder Jule will be the new pastor and Bible instructor in the South- east Asia Union College. We welcome them and wish them the greatest success as they take up their new responsibilities. • Elder L. C. Wilcox, the former pastor and Bible instructor of Southeast Asia Union College, takes up his new duties as chap- lain in the Youngberg Memorial Hospital in September. • On the SS. Canton traveling as passengers were Tan Siew Eng, daughter of Pastor Tan Kia Ou, going to England to continue her studies in music and Mabel Tan, daughter of Brother Tan Ah King, to enter Newbold Missionary College as a student. We wish these young women success in their preparation for their life work and that they will return to their homeland better prepared to enter the work of the Lord. Literature Evangelists H. W.
