Canadian Union MESSEINIGER Volume XLIV, No. 8 � Oshawa, Ontario April 30, 1975 Plans for Development of Senior College L. L. REILE, President, Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada After much prayer, research and discussion, the Canadian Union Conference Executive Committee voted an action that is important to every member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada. It concerns our Senior College Program. This vital subject has actually been under consideration for many years. To delay a decision longer would be tragic. Youth today face the crisis of the ages — a time of trouble such as never was. They have serious challenges, they must make important decisions and be prepared for the future. Some will yet stand before rulers and in legislation halls. All need help to witness faithfully day by day in the routine of daily living. Time is limited. Eternity is at stake. Heaven is real. "Nothing is more important than the education of our youth." Several fact-finding commissions have carefully surveyed our field and its needs, then made specific recommendations. Addi- tional information was sought, so earnest consideration was given to the whole question. The committee was unanimous in its decision. So that you might be informed we quote the action in its en- tirety: WHEREAS by action of the Executive Committee of the Canadian Union Conference, it was voted to establish a senior college to serve denominational requirement for a post-secondary institution in Can- ada and, WHEREAS the Executive Committee voted to establish a commission to investigate and report on the legal and academic requirements of various provinces that would govern the establishment of a pri- vate post-secondary institution, and the recognition that would be accorded to that college. WHEREAS the Canadian Union Conference Board of Education has considered the report of the exploratory commission and has recommended that steps be taken to proceed with the development of a senior college in Alberta on the Canadian Union College campus VOTED that a special working commission be established in co-operation with the North American Board of Higher Education to report to the Executive Committee from time to time and with a final re- port to be available for submission to the forthcoming Union Conference Session with respect to the detailed planning required to found a senior college in Canada and in particular to report on the following mat- ters: a. The scope and scale of curriculum development in terms of quality, demand, faculty and equipment required and costs involved. b. The development of a model administrative, departmental and vocational/ industrial struc- ture for the new college. c. The cost and funding requirements in order to provide the required buildings and equip- ment including the cost of relocating either that would be accorded to that college other campus. d. The approval of degree-granting status by the Provincial Cabinet. e. In the event that specific and definitive degree-granting status cannot be obtained in Alberta that the Commission initiate negotiations in Ontario forthwith and transfer the focus of their plan- ning to that locale on the understanding that the new college be located at a site other than on the present Kingsway College campus. Much remains to be done to implement the action. Our only desire is to save our youth and finish God's work. We earnestly seek Heaven's guidance and request your prayers, so that God's plan for His children may be fully realized. We seek your earnest co-operation and support in behalf of our youth. Let us, God's Church in Canada, move forward unitedly, with courage, stability and faith. We are homeward bound. We must all be there. Items from the Canadian Union Office Introducing Elder and Mrs. E. C. Beck New Conference President for Ontario By L. L. REILE, President, Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada It is a pleasure to introduce Elder and Mrs. E. C. Beck to our Canadian mem- bership. Elder Beck is the president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ontario. He has replaced Elder Philip Moores, who is now co-ordinator of the TV Arm of the Radio TV Center in Thousand Oaks, California. Pastor Beck is a minister of successful experience. He has served God and his Church with dedication in various fields of the earth since 1946, when he accepted ministerial responsibilities in Texas. From there he and Mrs. Beck accepted a mis- sion appointment to the Southern Asia Division. During their last seven years of service, Elder Beck was president of the Ceylon Union. Returning from overseas service, Pastor Beck served in the Wash- ington Conference of the North Pacific Union, and later transferred to the Upper Columbia Conference. Mrs. Beck has ably served her Church as a teacher and secretary. The Becks have three children. Jeanne is the wife of Pastor David Jaynes of the Washington Conference. Nancy is a Reg- istered Nurse and married to Garry Ir- land, a music major at Walla Walla Col- lege. Peter and his wife are in business in Seattle, Washington. We welcome the Becks to our Union knowing that their ministry will be blessed of God so that God's Church may con- tinue to grow. Please pray for these dedi- cated workers. Evangelism News By LAWTON LOWE, Ministerial Secretary, Canadian Union Conference of S.D.A. This is just to keep everyone informed as to the evangelistic news and plans from the Union. Just about every worker across Canada is involved in an evangelistic campaign, and we are expecting a great harvest of souls between now and General Conference Session in July. Let us pray one for another! There have been several campaigns completed and the Lord has blessed in a marked way. In Windsor, Elders Juriansz and Pollett baptized more than 50. In Westminster Elders Spenst and Knolls baptized close to 30. Elders Burton and Snow bap- tized more than 30. Many of the pastor-evangelists have had one and in some cases two baptisms in their district already this year and this has resulted in a very fine number of souls being gathered into the fold. There are a few items that I would like everyone to be con- scious of through this year, such as: BAPTISMAL SERVICES 1. Endeavour to have a baptismal service every month in your district and preferably in every church. Several of the ministers have planned their program with a baptismal service each month and they are amazed at how the Lord is blessing their plans. BAPTISMAL GOAL — 10% OF CHURCH MEMBER- SHIP 2. The challenge before God's people in 1975 — 10% or more increase in every church in every district during 1975. CRUSADES ACROSS THE UNION 3. It is planned to hold at least two evangelistic campaigns in all (Canadian Union Office Items Continued on Next Page) C./Hid/all 1:1/10/1 Official Organ of the CANADIAN UNION CONFERENCE of Seventh-day Adventists.

Remember the promises found in I Corinthians 1:21. CHALLENGE LAITY! 4. Train and direct the laity of each church to do something this year that will enlarge their vision and bring glory to God's name. Read and study John 15:1-16. God expects us to bear fruit — tangible fruit — not to be content just with good in- tentions. CHURCH ORGANIZATION 5. Organize your church for service around the Sabbath School class. Encourage each class to organize another Bible Class out- side of the church either in a school room or in someone's home. These Bible Classes soon become companies and then churches. START NEW CHURCHES 6. Plan to start one more church in your district this year. Several of our larger churches have learned to benefit from startine new churches. It is amazing how much talent we have in some of our churches that we are not using. However, when starting a new church give opportunity for some of this hidden talent to come to the surface. SUNDAY SERVICES 7. When the evangelistic campaign is over, why don't you continue meetings in your church on a Sunday and on a prayer meeting night? It would cheer my heart to see our churches being opened up to the community on Sundays and Wednesday nights. ALTAR CALLS 8. Just one more suggestion — have an altar call, (at least once a month) during the church services. If you carry out this sug- gestion you will be forced to have a baptismal service each month! Try it — God will reward your faith. SEMINARS — BRANCH SABBATH SCHOOLS 9. Several of you have tried the Seminar approach, and you have mentioned to me that you are more than pleased with the re- sults. We are preparing a new Seminar Kit which should be available in the next few weeks. Several lay-preachers are hold- ing very successful seminars and we want this approach to sweep across Canada. It works! ADVENTURE IN FAITH OFFERING 10. There is an appeal before God's people to respond to the "Adventure in Faith Offering." Just think what we could ac- complish for the Cause of God if every member would give one week's wages for this special offering? It is time to work and give to the Lord!

A President's Anxiety By HENRIQUE BERG, President, Mozambique Union Mission "Yes, Pastor, as you can see, the whole plant needs to be im- proved. Classrooms are not large enough. Dormitories are not adequate. Two boys sleep in a single bed, and girls sleep three in a bed — both without mattresses. Students pay a token matriculation fee, but does not cover even their writing mate- rials. Our students do not have any money, nor a way of earn- ing any. According to law our teachers could be barred from continuing, unless they receive more training. If that happens, our schools will be closed and 6,000 boys and girls will be without any means of education." This was the welcome I received when I arrived in Mozam- bique and visited Munguluni, site of our preparatory school for workers. I learned too that the entire curriculum offered only four years of primary school and three years of Bible study. Later as I explored the grounds, I also discovered that the students eat only at noon and in the evening. During their free time they cook their own cassava in oil drums on the ground outdoors. The Munguluni Training School has only one teacher for the entire ministerial course. Funds do not permit the hiring of a second. If tuition were raised, the students would not be able to pay it. They would be happy to work to cover part of their expenses, but school industries are impracticable, because Mun- guluni is too isolated, too far from a market for student products. Actually this is the day of opportunity for our church in Mozambique. Everywhere groups are calling for someone to teach them, but there are no workers to send. There are alert, promising young men; however, they must be trained. How to Solve These Problems The Mozambique Union Mission has 15,000 church members and 27,000 Sabbath School members. Since the reorganization of the field in 1972, the new union has dedicated its efforts to finding a solution to these very real and urgent problems. All agree that the only way to meet the emergency is by building a new Adventist educational institution in a more accessible lo- cation. The site chosen for the school is 15 kilometers from Beira, the geographical centre of the country. There we have a ready market for products of school industries, and Beira of- fers excellent territory for literature evangelists. In addition plans are under way to add the secondary course to the cur- riculum and to upgrade the ministerial training for future workers. The total cost of this project will be about 9 million escudos ($320,000). We have faith that somehow God will provide the means to build this urgently needed institution. The future of the church in Mozambique depends on it. We look to you, dear Sabbath School members around the world. We are confident that through you God will answer our prayers. These are serious times in Mozambique. We cannot count on tomorrow, but if we have well-prepared Mozambique workers, all will be well. Then there will he a church ready for the Master's return in this corner of the southeast Africa. A .4P• � 4 In Mozambique there are over 6,000 children in schools like this, most of them taught by teachers with only four years of formal education. Where can the teachers go to upgrade their preparation? Where will the students study after their first years of primary school? Your offering this 13th Sabbath will help to build the SDA Educational Center in Mozambique and give them an opportunity to prepare for service in God's Cause. Henrique Berg, President of the Mozambique Union, and Alberto Nunes, president of the Central Mission, lay the first stone for the dispensary, which is part of the proposed Adventist Educational Center in Mozam- bique. Anxious youth look on. They hope that soon a school will be built and doors opened, offering them the opportunity to prepare to take God's truth to every part of their country. 13th Sabbath Offering 2nd Quarter, 1975 Euro-African Division to Benefit June 28, 1975 140 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER * New Chapel in Marystown A new chapel nears completion in Marystown. Already church services are being held in the chapel and during the weekday church school is held. Miss Shirley Vansickle, who recently came to Newfoundland is teaching the church school in Marystown. A big welcome is extended to Miss Vansickle. Her ministry in the school and in the community is greatly appreciated. As soon as the carpeting arrives for the Chapel Pastor Gill plans to hold a series of Evangelistc Meetings. May the Lord richly bless in the work of the Gospel in the Burin Peninsula.

He is associated with Dr. Con- stance Victoros, in General practice. Also, in the Medical Arts Building is Dr. Bob Walkowiak, Optometrist. We are very pleased that the Marais' can be with us here in Newfoundland. He and his wife are very much appreciated by Pastor Victor Gill, who is the leader in the Marystown District. The Marais come from South Africa, but they interned in the Branson Memor- ial Hospital before coming to Marystown to practice. Already the Marais have made many friends. May the Lord bless in their ministry in the Marystown com- munity. RAY A. MATTHEWS, President S.D.A. Church in Newfoundland Five-day Plan in Early in January of this year Pastor W. Max Mercer was approached by the Knights of Columbus here in the City to assist in their campaign to stop smoking. They designated February as STOP SMOKING MONTH. They requested the Pastor to be their guest speaker to acquaint those attending with the FIVE- DAY PLAN TO STOP SMOKING. The meeting turned out to be very cordial and interesting. Included in the same request was the invitation for the Ad- ventist Church to present the FIVE-DAY PLAN TO STOP SMOKING as the cli- max to the STOP SMOKING MONTH, February 24-28. They did a good job of advertising. On the early morning pro- gram the CBC radio host interviewed the chairman of the Knights of Columbus campaign and he presented the work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the FIVE-DAY PLAN very favourably. The local newspaper, The Western Star, in its Corner Brook editorial expressed its appreciation for the fine community spirit as fostered by the FIVE-DAY PLAN. During the FIVE- DAY PLAN a number of the Knights of Columbus members and others attended and were successful in overcoming the smoking habit. In the FIVE-DAY PLAN presentation a number of the local church members very ably assisted the Pastor in registering and hosting the participants. In connection with the STOP SMOK- ING MONTH the Knights of Columbus also sponsored a City-wide poster contest in which two of our Grade 8 students received top awards. Miss Carolyn Reim- che received a cheque of $25.00 for first prize and a cheque of $10.00 for second prize went to Miss Beverly Buckle. Third prize went to a Grade eleven student of a Catholic School in the City of Corner Brook. EDWARD REIMCHE, Principal VoL. 44, No. 8, APRIL 30, 1975 � 141 New church at Perth, N.B. Maritime Discussion on Speaking in Tongues, etc. * 142 A New Day at The new Perth Seventh-day Adventist Church, located on McCrea Avenue in Perth, New Brunswick, officially opened its doors on February 22. Construction of the new building began last May under the direction of Pastor John Lyons. The structure represents a joint effort by the Carlingford and Upper Kent congregations to consolidate in Perth, a more densely populated area than the original two sites. The public was invited to attend the opening service on Sabbath morning. The result was a congregation of about 100, a large portion of which was not Ad- ventist. Among the visitors was the vil- lage mayor, Douglas Moore. He expressed his pleasure to see the church locate in the community where it would be instru- mental in lifting the moral tone of the people. From left to right the picture shows Pastor Lyons; Mayor Douglas Moore; Gilbert E. Andersen, president of the Maritime Conference; Elder Cliff Patter- son, secretary-treasurer for the confer- ence, and Fred Clark, local elder. President Andersen delivered the ser- mon entitled: "The New Dynamic in '75." In it he uplifted Christ as the only way to salvation. Many visitors commented on the fine spirit present in the congregation and ex- pressed their desire to return again. The fine spirit and pleasant surroundings af- ford an opportunity to successfully begin an evangelistic series which is scheduled for April 12 under the direction of Don Corkum, conference evangelist. A new day has dawned in the Perth-Andover dis- Perth, N.B. Left to right: Pastor Lyons; Mayor Douglas Moore; Gilbert E.

LILLIAN SCHRADER, Press Secretary While Ingathering from house to house on Campobello Island (Canadian owned Island off the coast of Northern Maine) I had a most rewarding experience. Entering a home with the usual can- vass — requesting funds to carry on the work for the blind, educational institu- tions, hospitals, medical assistance to re- motely isolated areas, disaster relief, etc., showing the annual report of the work done with their last year's donations to the Seventh-day Adventist program I was quickly informed that they were of the Pentecostal Church giving to it all they could give. Likewise, I replied, I too give of my means to help the church; I delight to give of my time to help non-Seventh- day Adventists. I related how happy my childhood days were spent in a missionary family. My father sometimes slept on plain boards placed on two "horses" (used in work shops) in a home where they wished they had beds to offer him. This he did as he kept advancing the work in areas that were scarcely reached. Also I recalled get- ting up at 4 a.m. to catch the train to the first church in which father had to speak, then a bus to the second, etc. until the Sabbath day ended. By experience I truly believe in the work accomplished by the offerings received by the interested com- munities. "What do Seventh-day Adventists be- lieve?" the gentleman of the house queried. "Well, Adventist means we believe Jesus is coming again!" "Do you believe He is coming soon?" "Yes, we do. Seventh-day means we believe the commandments are His char- acter of love expressed for our benefit. Satan rebelled against their principles in heaven saying, "The way to be happy is to do what YOU want." This he has con- tinued to do even until now, "The way to be happy is to do your OWN way." But God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and those who choose to be like Him and keep all the commandments come into a very intimate relationship with Him. Since we realize we cannot keep the commandments by ourselves we depend more on Him." The minutes passed quickly as he questioned about Baptism, Hell, then zeroed in on perhaps his main point of interest "Speaking in Tongues". His wife, a strong believer in "tongues" said, "You know that tongues is the evidence that you have the Holy Spirit!" "Well," I said, "you would have to CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Dedication in the Perth Church On February 22 three children were dedicated in the Perth Seventh-day Ad- ventist Church. Elder Gilbert E. Ander- sen, President of the Maritime Confer- ence, conducted the service. This was the first baby dedication to be held in the new church which is located in the vil- lage of Perth, N.B. The three children are pictured as fol- lows: Richard Currie pictured with his grandmother Audrey Bowmaster, Peter Lyons presented by his mother and father — John (pastor) and Muriel, and Dar- lene Schrader presented by her mother and father — Arnold and Lillian. LILLIAN SCHRADER Communication Secretary An Alumnus of Kingsway College Becomes Assistant Campus Business Administrator of Loma Linda University Seppo Vartija has been named assistant campus business administrator, according to Arthur W. Spoo, campus business man- ager. Educated at Andrews University, Ber- rien Springs, Michigan, and York Uni- versity in Toronto, Canada, Mr. Vartija is a member of the Institute of Manage- ment Accountants, and is an under-grad- uate member of the Certified General Ac- countant Association (Canadian). A Canadian citizen, Mr. Vartija taught for three years and served on the adminis- tration at Kingsway College in Ontario, Canada, prior to his coming to Loma Linda University. Prior to his assignment at the campus business office, Mr. Vartija was an asso- ciate internal auditor for the University. He is married to Sherrie Poulson. Sacred Concert in Orillia Seppo Vartija show that to me in a text." Quickly the gentleman turned to his wife and said, "There is no text for that. We just say that to get our point across." From my study on this question, I told them I believed the gift of miracles, and prophecy were also gifts of the Holy Spirit. We have the gift of Prophecy in our church. In these times when Chris- tians are faced with greater perils than ever before He sees to it that we are pre- pared to meet them. But as for me, God knows I have steadily been yielding my- self to His will and if He saw the need of bestowing upon me the gift of "tongues" He would have been able to use me in this way, but He has not. The Lord knows I am happy even to be a door- keeper in the house of my God. Turning to his wife he exclaimed, "I had never talked with a Seventh-day Ad- ventist before. I believe she is a real Christian." This encouraged me, but I was later more encouraged. After having prayer together the gentle- man turned to me and said, "I am a Pentecostal Minister." I reached out my hand and shook his telling them the dear- est work to my heart was that of the ministry, and they as a family would surely be blessed with more and more truths through the many hours he studied the Bible. Then as I was leaving, he handed me two dollars. "Oh, no," I said, "you keep that for your church." But, forcing it into my hand he said, "I want you to have it — for YOUR church." What an experience! — one of the many that all were having during In- gathering. I was thankful that his heart — this family — was a little bit with us. And perhaps through the Bible Course offered in the pamphlet or through the Desire of Ages which was sent to them as a Christmas present, they might be drawn even closer to the Lord who loves us all desiring that all should be saved. At the time of sending this article, a minister in the Maritime conference will be stationed on or near the island of Grand Manan, later having the privilege of coming in contact with many of the Lord's "other sheep" not having had an opportunity to hear the good news which they soon will. CELEST CORKUM Saint John, New Brunswick Advent Message To Grand Manan Island What for many years was a dream is now becoming a reality — to have an established work on Grand Manan Island. On February 14 a Five-Week Evan- gelistic Crusade began under the direc- tion of Don Corkum, Conference Evan- gelist, and Dave Friesen, local pastor. The first week was spent in discussing the plan of Salvation, and this Christ-centered beginning answered many questions in people's minds, for they had been warned that Adventists were not true Christians and were false prophets. It was necessary to visit each of the 800 homes on the Island to build up the con- fidence of the people. Laymen from Saint John who ingather there each year came and assisted in the campaign. Pastor Friesen is now following up the meetings with Bible Studies, evangelistc meetings along with Sabbath Services for the folk who now want to unite with our fellowship. DON CORKUM, Conference Evangelist Ontario For the first time, in its history of re- cent years anyway, the Orillia Opera House was the scene of a Sacred Concert. The Perth Avenue Choir, under its di- rector Brother David Walker, sensing its mission in these last days, has become a forceful soul-winning agency as can be seen in their efforts in 1974. The Choir Director's words of "each avenue in the church must be an avenue through which the Holy Spirit can reach men's hearts" was clearly seen in Orillia on the night of November 24, 1974. The hearts of some 400 people were thrilled again and again as these wonder- ful artists portrayed "Christ in song." Brother Earle Edward thrilled the audi- ence with his rendition of "Amazing Grace" and "He Touched Me" on the harmonica. The Master of Ceremonies, Pastor F. C. J. Pearse had to appease the crowd, who gave thunderous applause, by promising another song by Brother Ed- wards. "Onward Christian Soldiers" was rendered. Brother Courtney Edwards rendered "He" for which he was summoned again, and two soloists from the Orillia Church also enriched the evening with their voices. The Perth Avenue Choir rendered sev- eral beautiful pieces; among them was "I Am Going to Ride." The last item was Handel's beautiful "Alleluah Chorus" to which the audience in gratefulness to God rose to their feet while this was being rendered. The Orillia Church can scarcely ex- press their thanks enough to these artists for braving the weather conditions to come to Orillia for this project. Our spe- VoL. 44, No. 8, APRIL 30, 1975 � 143 Registration time for the Five-day Plan to Stop Smoking. cial thanks to Pastor Pearse who was Master of Ceremonies that night. Orillia Seventh-day Adventists took this opportunity to present Pastor Pearse with a briefcase as a parting gift. Special mention must also go to Pastor E. Bacchus of the Perth Avenue Church for his inspiring leadership. His direction in missionary endeavours has certainly set the pace for the missionary outreach seen in the brethren of the Perth Avenue Church. The Orillia Church would also thank Brother Stanley Powell and Brother David Walker for the tremendous effort they have made in helping this church. The proceeds of the concert will be used partly for lay evangelism and partly for the church building fund. AILEENE M. KETCHING Church Com►nUnication Secretary Belleville Five-day Plans in Two Places V. MATTHEWS, Communication Secretary, Belleville Church What can $3 buy these days? Not much, you say. However, a varied assortment of people all agree that it can buy some- thing priceless — a new lease on life and glowing health. In they poured through the doors of the Belleville General Hospital's Education Hall: teachers, nurses, merchants, students, retired folk, employees of industry, banks, CTC, CNR, the Armed Forces, civil servants, labourers, landscapers, carpenters, salesmen and farmers. These people having been enslaved to the smoking habit for anywhere from 3 to 50 or more years are now demanding "a divorce from Lady Nicotine." Flyers were distributed, local radio and TV announcements were broadcast, Pastor McMiller contacted the downtown busi- nessmen and thanks to the local TB and RD Association, a striking full-sized ad appeared in the local newspaper. And the people came! A teacher who had attended the Plan last year invited our smoking clinic to Stirling, a village outside Belle- ville. He very kindly arranged the use of the Junior Public School for this purpose. In Belleville, 21 registered in December, 65 in January; in Stirling, 20 registered. Approximately 29 from Belleville and 11 from Stirling had not smoked during the five days and were greatly pleased to receive their graduation button: "I CHOOSE NOT TO SMOKE." Pastor McMiller made clear to the participants what the plan hoped to accomplish for them: (1) combat withdrawal, (2) les- sen the craving, (3) build up willpower. These were attempted by a training program of motivational films, slides, control booklets, guest speakers and discussions. The "Five-day Plan to Stop Smoking Control Films" conducted by Dr. Wayne McFarl- and demonstrated the adverse effects of tobacco smoke on the human machine, in particular, the lungs, heart, stomach and nerves; Pastor Folkenberg emphasized the importance of the union of the will and divine aid as a means of depressing the smoker's craving. His motivating slogan was: "I Choose Not to Smoke". Dr. McFarland outlined the practical aids of stop- ping the craving: (1). 4-6 glasses of water daily, (2). eat fruit and drink fruit juices instead of tea, coffee, alcohol, (3). deep breathing, (4). cold mitten friction to oxygenate the blood, (5). exercise — (walking), (6). rest (avoid overwork), (7). break- fast like a king, lunch like a prince, supper like a pauper. Each night a guest was invited to share his experience and help the folk in their battle against this destructive, gripping habit. Mr. Gailya Muir who had participated in the December Plan, appeared in January and February to praise the buddy- system in being a most helpful and valuable aid of encourage- ment. Mr. Angus Duffy of the EMO was also successful in kicking the habit. His motivating reason? He wanted to be his "own boss" and disliked the idea of being "controlled by a stinking weed." Mr. Flip Clare, a Belleville businessman who had smoked for 30 years decided to quit 15 years ago when it was discovered he had cancer of the larnyx. He underwent an operation and had to learn to speak all over again. He breathes through his throat. He can smell only very strong odours (he misses the fragrance of flowers,) and he can't shout or whistle. A physiotherapist from the Belleville General Hospital em- 144 phasized the importance of building up exercise tolerance with deep breathing exercises. We would like to thank ladies of the TB and RD Association, Verla Dales, Barbara Trupp, Bonnie Carroll, F. McMiller, Sylvia and V. Matthews, for greeting the people at the door and (See next page) "I'm not so sure about all this, but let's push toward victory." Exercise time. This helps me to keep the body fit and lessens craving for nicotine.

The first follow-up program held February 10 brought back 20 participants. A team from Counterweight, formerly Weight Watchers of Ontario, led the discussion. Knowing the struggle against craving, they could well sympathize with the cigarette quitters and upheld the tremendous power of the will and the value of the buddy-system in this battle. Most of the folk present had been off cigarettes since the start of the Plan. And, they all received a big hand of deserving applause for their great achievement. Let's all pray that they keep it up with the help of God. Graduation — "I Choose Not to Smoke." New Church in Mississauga Moves Ahead By MARGUERITE MILLER Mississauga Church The first child dedication service to be conducted at the recently organized Mis- sissauga Church was a very special event for Matt and Rena Iwanski and Eveine Homer as their children Doris and Susan lwanski and Allster Homer were dedi- cated to the Lord on December 7. The Mississauga group began to meet last January following an evangelistic ef- fort conducted by Pastor Lawton Lowe in which 28 were baptized. Pastors Don Godsoe and Eric Juriansz and local mem- bers worked together to make the meet- ings a success. A church of 50 members was organ- ized April 6 by Pastors P. Moores, S. E. White, L. Lowe, and C. L. Smith. Since then the membership has grown to 70 and the weekly attendance ranges from 125 to 150. The progress of the work in Mississauga can be attributed to the blessing of the Lord and the enthusiastic dedicated lead- ership of members such as Lee Dunbar, Richard Lincoln, Calvin Smith, Edmund Prescott, Kathleen Hunter, and Royce Curry, to mention only a few, who are determined to see the work finished in this large area. There has been a spirit of genuine re- vival manifested and a perseverance in soul-winning activity on the part of the zealous new members as well as the older ones that has been very encouraging. The Ingathering campaign was an unqualified success with up to 90% participation. VoL. 44, No. 8, APRIL 30, 1975 � 145 Under the direction of the new pastor, Brian Juriansz, the goal was quintupled. Since "on-the-job training" was intro- duced at the time the group started meet- ing, there has been no break in the pro- gram. Although work in this new area has not been exceptionally easy, a number have been baptized and others are now making decisions. Please pray for the continued advance- ment in the work at Mississauga. The great need now is for a church home and a church school facility for this city of over 200,000. Mississauga Church Child Dedication. Manitoba-Saskatchewan Medical-Evangelistic Outreach Program in Winnipeg By LILLIAN KEMPERT, Henderson Highway Church Staff members of Park Manor, West Park Manor, Winnipeg area pastors, and church members, participated in a Medical Evangelistic Outreach program during the weekend of March 1 and 2. Sabbath's program was open to all who wished to attend, while Sunday's was for the staff and area pastors. Dr. Hervey Gimbel, of Calgary, medical secretary for the Canadian Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was guest speaker and director of the seminars. At the Henderson Highway Church on Sabbath morning dur- ing the worship hour Dr. Gimbel spoke on "Good News or Bad," and in the afternoon on "Community Health Education — the Calgary Story." The afternoon program was informal and involved the audience in questions and suggestions. His chal- lenge to the membership to become involved in some phase of gospel medical missionary work stirred many minds with new ideas which we trust will produce much fruit in the near future. Sunday's program was introduced with a devotional by Chap- lain Mervin Kempert, whose key thought was this: "Our work of soul-winning will be successful only as we use Christ's methods. What were His methods? "The Saviour mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, Follow Me." Using the same theme, Dr. Gimbel then directed seminars on the following topics: "How to Dispel Prejudice in the Community", "Putting Your Best Foot For- ward", "Utilization of Community Health Resources", "Utiliza- tion of the Media", "Bringing Health Education Home to Staff". Audience participation was active and it was evident that there is much room for improvement and changes. "Whether you are working with your Adventist staff, non-Adventist staff, residents, or community, we must always remember that only Christ's methods will work," concluded Dr. Gimbel. "We may not see the results of our labors in total numbers of immediate baptisms, but the fruit will come in a variety of ways, for Christ has promised success and His promises never fail." 146 The group that attended the Seminar on Medical Evangelistic Outreach.

To date, approximately 80 calls have been received requesting books of- fered. February 14 and 15 — MV Leadership courses for the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Conference were held in Yorkton. February 16 — Yorkton Church was host to over 200 delegates attending a constituency meeting held at our school auditorium. February 17, 18 — Workers' meetings (for Man.-Sask. Conference), convened in the Yorkton Church. February 23-27 — Five-day Plan to Stop Smoking held at the school auditor- ium. Although the enrollment wasn't too high, all who participated overcame the habit. It is interesting to note that victims of the Plan held in 1970 attended this series to encourage those who were trying to overcome it. March 9 — Our annual International Supper — it is encouraging to note that each year the attendance on this occasion is increased by non-Adventists. March 10 — The beginning of nutrition classes conducted by Mrs. Hiebert—three days a week for two weeks. The day of the first class Mrs. Hiebert and Mrs. Carol Tataryn appeared on the local TV morning show for an interview regarding the class. March 23 — We were pleased to have the Kingsway Choir present their sacred concert. March 29 — This 13th Sabbath, mark- ing the end of the first quarter, was high- lighted by a baptism wherein three souls were baptized. The Dorcas ladies have been busy "quilting" during these winter months, and to date have made 19 quilts. MRS. JANET ASTOLFI Communication Secretary Joy in Heaven There was joy in heaven as well as in Inglis, Yorkton and Melville as church families witnessed four precious youths take their stand for Jesus Christ. They took up the challenge, responsibility and privilege that is a part of being a son and daughter of the heavenly King. On March 29 the Yorkton Church pre- sented a happy occasion as Jerry Liske and Maureen Liske from Inglis, Mani- toba, and Penny Dreger of Ebenezer, Sas- katchewan, joined the Inglis and Yorkton Churches by baptism. Brother Ivon Cher- nipeski and Brother Roland Liske, our first elders in Yorkton and Inglis, led in offering the right hand of welcome and fellowship to the new members.

Then at 3:00 p.m. another happy oc- casion with our church family in Melville, Saskatchewan, witnessed Perry Shipowick follow his Lord in baptism with Elder Gallant, a former pastor here, conducting the ordinance. Perry was welcomed by his father, Brother Tom Shipowick and Brother Reg Demitor, the elders of the Melville Church, as he became a third generation member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Our prayers go with Perry as well as the others that they may be great in the sight of the Lord. A. HIEBERT, Pastor * Banquet for X-Smokers In Saskatoon On Sunday, February 23rd the Saska- toon Church Five-day Plan Team held their second annual "Smoke Out" ban- quet at the Saskatoon Junior Academy auditorium to honour all those who stopped smoking through the plan for three months or more. Those who made it were awarded a special certificate. Ninety- one persons were present at the happy gathering and it could have been more if all those who had qualified were able to attend. Eighty-six persons qualified, but only 35 were present as some had to cancel out up to the last day. However, we had a wonderful time. Many were there who quit for almost two years. Mrs. Ramsey from the Dietary Staff at Sunnyside Nursing Home was in charge of the menu and made a lovely vegetarian meal, which for many was their first all-vegetarian meal. Following the supper, Dr. S. Houston from the Department of Radiology, Uni- versity Hospital gave a brief presentation showing slides of x-rays he has read over the years of people who cut short their lives by smoking. He concluded by say- ing that "the Five-day Plan team is doing more to save lives here in the city than all the doctors put together". There was a short variety concern to round off the evening. Four lovely young ladies (one of them a convert to the status of x-smokers and now counsellor) enter- tained the crowd with their very fine music and singing. There were some se- lections by some members of the acad- emy band blending their instruments in melodious harmony. Mrs. 0. Tkachuk, with her sweet voice, rendered two very fine selections. F. Williams played on his tlute, accompanied by Kay Scrace on the organ. Then L. Williams, local director of the program rendered two solos to end a most enjoyable evening. Tom Scrace was M.C. for the evening. Ladies — X-smokers enjoying a vegetarian sup- ner prepared by Sunnyside Nursing Home. Men who gave up the habit are enjoying good taste too. L. WILLIAMS Director of Five-day Plan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan * � * � * 20th Century Nutrition At Inglis The ladies of the Inglis Seventh-day Adventist Church took turns meeting in various homes as Mrs. Elsie Hiebert con- ducted a series of nutrition classes. Thoughts were presented from the nu- trition counsels of Ellen White, and the latest in scientific findings, as well as foods VoL. 44, No. 8, APRIL 30, 1975 � 147 47111/ /44114/41 examined for protein and other nutritional value. The foods to be demonstrated were generally divided into two parts: one, partly prepared, to be finished for samp- ling, the other to be started from scratch, and taken home as door prizes. Mrs. Elsie Hiebert, at left, with happy graduates from the nutrition classes at Inglis, Manitoba. As a final test, the ladies decided to invite the rest of their families to a nu- tritious dinner at the Norman Steward home on March 2. At this time the cer- tificates were given out, and also a special book to both Mrs. Evelyn Steward and Mrs. Myrtle Liske for experimenting with the most recipes. Everything seemed to end too soon, but the nutritious and meatless dishes will continue to be en- joyed. A. HIEBERT, Pastor Baptism at Yorkton Sabbath, February 15, 1975 was a high day in the Yorkton Church when Penny McEwan gave her heart to the Lord and went forward in baptism. Penny has en- joyed the fellowship with the Seventh-day Adventist folk and felt a part of them. Baptism was conducted by Elder Stan Gallant. JANET ASTOLFI P.R. Secretary 148 Ida Mae Wolfe, daughter of Brother and Sister Peter Wolfe, was baptized and welcomed into church fellowship on Sab- bath, March 22. May Ida keep close to her Saviour to the end. The junior boys and girls under the lead- ership of Brother Ivan Abbott and Sister Jack McKinley treated the members plus seventy-five visitors to a very interesting Sabbath School on the thirteenth Sab- bath. Their songs and sword drill (the Bible being the sword) were greatly ap- Righteousness by faith? Is it really pos- sible? We hope so because several billion people have proved that it isn't possible any other way. Christ's righteousness we may have — free. It all depends on what we choose and how we go about it. Be- fore one can have life in Christ he must die to self. It was all explained and put together by Elder Morris Venden, pastor of the Pacific Union College Church, dur- ing his visit to the Alberta Conference. Elder Venden, well known from the last Week of Prayer readings on Right- eousness by Faith, spent a week in Cal- gary. His visit, sponsored by the Cal- gary SDA Church School, the Calgary preciated. One junior told of God's care over him in an accident. A group led by Sister Jani Vlug discussed the needs of Southern Asia. While the juniors sang, the thirteenth Sabbath offering amounting to $1,388.10 was taken up. These energetic juniors love to sing to shut-ins in their private homes and in rest homes. They enjoy hearing the invitation, "Come again". BERTHA E. WARNER Rutland Communication Secretary churches and the Conference MV De- partment, was a blessing to all who had the opportunity to attend the scheduled meetings. Pastor Venden conducted the school's week of prayer as well as a series of presentations for the churches, during the week of March 16-22. On the 22nd he was the guest speaker at the Al- berta Conference Youth Rally, held in Calgary at the North Stake Centre which was made available to us by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

N. Booth of Ryley were hon- oured by their children and families at a dinner in the Old-timers cabin in Edmonton. The occasion was the couple's sixtieth an- niversary. Telegrams of congratulations were received from the Gover- nor General of Canada, Prime Minister Trudeau, Opposition Leader Stanfield, Premier Lougheed of Alberta, Vegreville M.P. Don and Mrs. Mazankowski, relatives in Waterloo and South Stukely, Quebec, and from a granddaughter in Brisbane, Aus- tralia. They also received many cards and long distance phone calls. Florence McElroy and Sewell Booth were married on March 17, 1915 in West Bolton, Quebec, by Elder A. V. Olson. They spent their honeymoon travelling west to their farm at Ryley, Alberta. Mr. and Mrs. Booth retired from farming and moved into Ryley in 1958. Both are active and enjoying comparatively good health. Old timers will remember that both Mrs. Booth's and Mr. Booth's parents were charter members of the South Stukely S.D.A. Church. NOTE — Article Below Belongs in British Columbia Section — Ed.

In addition to Elder Venden's presen- tations, programs were presented by CUC MV, the Olympix, and Calgary youth.

VoL. 44, No. 8, APRIL 30, 1975 A number of phone calls convinced Pastor Lehmann that it was time to con- duct a Five-day Plan in Prince George. The timing was NOT SO GOOD — De- cember, just before the intemperance of the Christmas season and also midst the press of Prince George door-to-door In- gathering. However, by God's grace a large percentage were able to kick the habit and remain successful over the holiday. The news spread around town and the need became apparent for a sec- ond plan. The two local radio stations, CJCI and CKPG gave free advertising and the newspaper, Citizen, sent a re- porter to take part in the plan and report 149 to the paper. Steve Whipp, the reporter, not only gave us some very fine coverage but was able to overcome "Lady Nico- tine" as well. The second class, conducted in January, boasts an 80 percent success rate verified by phone eight weeks after the conclusion of the plan. The phone has again been ringing, often two or three calls per day, and a third plan is slated for the month of April. Yours for "Bet- ter Living." PASTOR BOB * � * Stone-ground Whole Wheat Flour Mrs. Jack Zachary from Canadian Union College has been demonstrating in several homes in the neighbourhood the uses of a special stone-ground whole wheat flour milled at the college. The mill Mrs. Jack Zachary. is one secured by Mr. Zachary from Ger- many as mentioned in the book, "Into the Blizzard." The wheat is put into the mill dry and the flour keeps good for years. With the ordinary steel mill the wheat has to be moist and the flour gradually spoils. Flour from the Zachary mill was tested at the University of Edmonton and showed no signs of deterioration even after two years. This special flour is milled about six times and is very fine. The wheat germ, with so many millings, is emulsified into the flour and does not become rancid. For those who cannot use the regular whole wheat flour, a process has been de- veloped so that a flour containing all the nutrients has been prepared as a whole wheat cream. It makes excellent, digest- ible gluten by using one cup of the cream of whole wheat, one cup gluten flour and one cup oat flour. Mrs. Zachary turned out bread, buns and pie crust with a very fine texture and excellent flavour. The flour can be used successfully in any baking. BERTHA E. WARNER Rutland Communication Secretary News from Bangladesh Through Rutland, B.C. BERTHA E. WARNER, Communication Secretary, Rutland Church We are told that the health work is an entering wedge, making a way for other truths to reach the heart. We were happy, there- fore, to hear of another Five-day Plan to Stop Smoking being held by Pastor Teranski in Kelowna. He reports that 55 enrolled and of those who stayed right through, 92 percent felt they were free from the smoking habit. One lady who had smoked for 46 years and was using 40 cigarettes a day was one of these happy people. Another avenue leading people to accept the gospel invita- tion is that of the Community Services Department. This de- partment had a very successful year under Sister Jim Dalke's directorship. Now Sister Dalke is the Federation director and Sister Art Rodwell is this year directing the department with continuing success. Last year's report of main items is as follows: Average number helping at the Centre each week — 27; quilts made — 86; clothing given away — 9,230 pieces; bedding given — 135 articles; furniture given — 45 articles; clothing to Unitarian Service — 3,500 pounds; bandages pur- chased for Bangladesh — $50; Life and Health subscriptions given — $100; mailing of parcels and Bibles — $57.82. The picture shows Marvel Wells (a Canadian girl from both east and west) in the operating room of the Golpalganj Hos- pital in Bangladesh. Dr. Solivio and Probobt, a Bengali young man whom the doctor has trained to help with surgery, are with the patient. The hospital with 20 beds had its first full year of operation in 1974. Now a new 36-bed addition is about to be opened. Marvel is often kept at surgeries all day. Many who would have died are living today because of the hospital and the care given them by Drs. Solivio and Rosario and their helpers. The hearts of the healed people and their friends and relatives are more open to receive the gospel message. Each week Dr. Solivio holds a Bible study for the Hindu people; Marvel has songs for the children. The picture shows her in a sari talking to the children through an interpreter. During the Camp Meeting a Catholic priest from Montreal offered accommodation at his mission for the white missionaries. He was glad to accept a Great Controversy which Brother Harry Fell, Lacombe, Alberta, had sent Marvel for missionary pur- poses. The priest wants to pay a visit to the hospital. A group of Baptists who have discovered the Sabbath truth came to Dr. Solivio to tell him they wanted to join the Seventh- day Adventist Church. Last year 409 people were baptized in Bangladesh; three of them were Muslims. That was the largest number baptized there in any one year. Marvel writes to say that they are eating pumpkins from the seeds sent out recently from members of the Rutland Church. Many more seeds have been sent and will provide food for the villagers. The population is tremendous — seven babies being born each minute — and we wonder how the work will be finished. Then the text comes to our mind, "Not by power, nor by might, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord." We can help by prayer and sacrifice.

Meetings Held in Kamloops Part of the baptismal group. Pastor Verne Snow conducted an in- spiring and exciting crusade in the Kam- loops Seventh-day Adventist Church. The series is associated with the IT IS WRIT- TEN program. People filled the pews night after night as they listened in rapt attention to the clearly revealed truths of God's Word. Prophecies were explained in a way that was easily understood by all the listeners. The Lord richly blessed this crusade as many came forward to dedicate their lives to Christ, and an active visitation program was carried out with interested people. The members of the church were caught up with these messages as they rededi- cated their lives to the Lord. As the Third Angel's Message spread throughout this metropolis, the gospel touched hundreds of individuals. Pastor Robert Burton and Clifford Drieberg assisted Pastor Verne Snow. Sisters June Burton and Gladys Vaughn looked after the Bible program. Royce Glanzer was chorister and Evelyn Reader was the music co-ordinator and organist for the series. The advertising for this series was em- The electrically lit sign advertising the lectures. phasized by a huge electrically lit sign placed near a busy thoroughfare near the church, and people read the subject of each evening's lecture as they drove by. This proved effective, and people came after reading the sign. The crusade ended February 25 with 32 people following their Saviour in bap- tism. (MRS.)
