})residc►i`fi privc,nt D. Douglas Devnich A reyou an historic Seventh-day Adventist? It is good to reflect on one's belief system from time to time. Recently, with the help of such sources as the Holy Bible, the writings of Ellen G. White, the book: Seventh- day Adventists Believe... A Biblical Exposition of 27 Fundamental Doctrines, and other literature, I reviewed what I believe and now I have a personal testimony to share with the readers of this monthly column. My testimony is that, as a professing Seventh-day Adventist, I believe the Seventh-day Adventist Church is the remnant church of Bible prophecy, into which people of every nation, race, class, and language are invited and accepted, and I cherish my membership in its fellowship. When I was baptized into Jesus Christ, I affirmed my belief in the tenets of Adventism. As I recently reviewed those Doctrines of my historic faith, I found myself as ready now as I ever have been to claim them as my own. Possibly you might like to review them with me as you read this column. Let us together renew our confidence in Historic Adventism as outlined in the vows of our Baptismal certificates. Are you still with it? Or, have one or more points become tarnished by doubts or the untoward influence of some who would destroy your own solidarity with Historic Adventism? Here is what I believe: 1. I believe in God the Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit. 2. I accept the death of Jesus Christ on Calvary as an atoning sacrifice for my sins, and believe that through faith in His shed blood men are saved from sin and its penalty. 3. I renounce the world and its sinful ways, and have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour, and believe that God, for Christ's sake, has forgiven my sins and given me a new heart. 4. I accept by faith the righteousness of Christ, recognizing Him as my Intercessor in the heavenly sanctuary, and claim His promise to strengthen me by His indwelling Spirit so that I may receive power to do His will. 5. I believe that the Bible is God's inspired Word, and that it constitutes the only rule of faith and practice for the Christian. 6. Loving the Lord with all my heart, it is my purpose, by the power of the indwelling Christ to keep God's law of Ten Commandments, including the fourth, which requires the observance of the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath of the Lord. 7. I believe that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and that I am to honour God by caring for my body in abstaining from such things as alcoholic beverages, tobacco in all its forms, and from unclean foods. 8. I accept the doctrine of spiritual gifts, and believe that the Spirit of Prophecy is one of the identifying marks of the remnant church. 9. I believe in the soon coming of Jesus as the blessed hope, and it is my settled determination to prepare to meet Him in peace, as well as to help others to get ready for His glorious appearing. 10. I believe in church organization, and it is my purpose to support the church by my tithes and offerings, and by my personal effort and influence. 11. I believe in the New Testament teaching of baptism by immersion, and have been baptized as a public expression of my faith in Christ and in His forgiveness of my sins. 12. Knowing and understanding the fundamental Bible principles as taught by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, it is my purpose by the grace of God to order my life in harmony with these principles. 2 MESSENGER/MARCH 1992 Cover Photo—"Vinca Minor," early spring ground cover, by Robin Carby CANADIAN ADVENTIST Volume 61, No. 3, March 1992, Oshawa, ON Dear friends: This brief letter will give you an update on things at the orphanage, where we have been for the last couple of weeks. We arrived to find great excitement—for the first time in three weeks, they had running water from the adjacent Mayo Indian village. For 3 weeks, all laundry and bathing had to be done in an irrigation ditch about one mile away, and water for cooking was brought back in buckets. Drinking water, as always, has been brought in in bottles. The euphoria was short-lived, as we had water for only 3 days, and for the last week have again been without running water. You can imagine the difficulty in doing laundry for 49 children, including babies, when the dirty irrigation ditch is one mile away. It also makes for potentially serious health problems, as we cannot flush the toilets as often as they should be done. Not that we don't already have enough health problems—most of the children have intestinal problems, like worms, and all have head lice. Most now have colds, as do we, and they just go round and round the entire "family". Annette has had, on average, 3 to 4 patients every day, since we arrived. We are fortunate to have some decent medicines, thanks to many of you, and we look forward to getting more, hopefully when we have a Canadian Air Force flight down here later in the spring. We have sent a "wish list" to Reach in Canada, hoping to get, in addition to the usual building materials, materials for making bunk beds and other furniture; a propane commercial size stove; freezer; vinyl eavestroughs and downspouts to allow us to collect rain water—and earlier today, we had the mother of storms, yet no way to collect the water. Our most immediate need is to get the well installed, and we are hoping to do this later this month. Last week we were working on installing underground pipes for the water distribution to the buildings, and now only need a supply. Then of course we have the further problem of how to adequately dispose of sewage—the current system is very poor, and we fear the diseases which can result from poor sanitation.

As an upstanding member of the Anglican Church, Rudolph received his last communion in the church of his childhood one week before his first visit to the Seventh- day Adventist Church in his com- munity. Six months later he was baptized by immersion and became and remained a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church until his death. A little more than one year later Rudolph enroled as a student at Canadian Union College, Lacombe, Alberta. During a visit to the Edmonton Central Church eighteen months before gradua- tion from theology, he met Rhoda Murray from Montego Bay, Jamaica, to whom he was married on June 5, 1960, graduation day. During his years at Canadian Union College, Rudolph endeared himself to his fellow students, one of whom shortened his name to "Rudy" by which he preferred to be known. Rudy entered the gospel ministry as a literature evangelist with the Manitoba/Saskatchewan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists before moving to Toronto where he did pioneer work among the people of West Indian background and became the first West Indian pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada. He was later recognized and listed in Marquis' Who's Who In Religion In North America. In 1970 Pastor James responded to a call by the Atlantic Union Conference to serve abroad. His next four years of service were spent in Bermuda, where in addi- tion to pastoring the Southampton Church, he later raised up the Somerset Church. Simultaneous- ly he also served as Evangelism coordinator, Publishing and Public Relations director for the Bermuda Mission of Seventh-day Adventists. Returning to Canada in 1974, Pastor James served as city evangelist in Winnipeg, Manitoba before re-entering the pastoral ministry which was his first love. He continued in this capacity in Manitoba and Saskatchewan un- til responding to a call from the Alberta Conference in 1981 to pastor the Bridgeland and Forest Heights Churches in Calgary. In February 1989 he announced his retirement from the ad- ministrative pastoral duties of the gospel ministry, but had since become an active member of the local congregation, counsellor and advisor to all who sought after his wealth of experience. He died on January 16, 1992. Elder Rudy James leaves to mourn his beloved wife Rhoda, son Terry, and stepson Danny Craig. Also left to mourn are five brothers and three sisters; Ellis, Vernon and Carlton of Trinidad, Randy and Wilfred of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Stella Stoute of Trinidad, Reverend Iris Williams of Oakville, Ontario and Evelyn George of New York.

Our eyes have been called "windows to the soul." We speak of looking deep- ly into the eyes of a loved one or a friend and discerning their innermost thoughts. But these deep and limpid pools of in- timate expression can be dimmed when a cataract intervenes. A cataract is simply a lens gone cloudy. Our Health-Wise readers know with cer- tainty that 20/20 vision requires a clear cornea and a self-focusing lens as clear as a shining goblet. But lenses can grow milky. And when they do, we say that the patient has a cataract. Believe it or not, eight out of ten peo- ple who have passed 60 venerable years, are by this time beginning to experience some degree of vision dimness because of cataracts in one or both eyes. Are cataracts caused by age? Partly, but not by age alone. Turning the figures around, we know that at least 20 percent of people over 60 years of age have no cataracts at all. So perhaps cataracts aren't caused by age so much as an ac- cumulation over the years of something from without. For instance, sunlight— specifically, the ultra-violet radiation that accompanies our cherished sunlight. And cataracts aren't exclusive with only the aged. There are a number of conditions that accelerate the formation of cloudy lenses. For instance, diabetes. You will remember that people who have diabetes must guard their vision well. And glaucoma, that hyper-pressure condition of the eyes so common to the Western world, is another cause of cataracts. And let's not forget, glaucoma can be controlled. Injuries to the eyes can stir up the cataract cauldrons, and so can some medicines—like cortisone-like prepara- tions when given by mouth to control diseases like lupus or destructive forms of arthritis. Usually, and this is the good. Think Cataract news, short-term use of these medicines is OK. There's better news yet! Cataracts, with very few exceptions, can be remov- ed, and with the removal comes the return of vision—often, splendid vision. One of our most successful surgical techniques is cataract removal. More than nine out of ten patients who give up their fated lenses regain useful vision. While they may not return to 20/20 vi- sion of sweet 16, they can move in that direction. In America, over a million clouded lenses are removed each year. For years it used to be that thick, heavy, face-distorting glasses was the price to pay for post-cataract surgery. Now, however, your skillful eye surgeon can replace your old, aged, milky lens with a new crystal clear man-made varie- ty. No, it isn't as good as the one pro- vided by our Creator, but it's much bet- ter than the alternative thick "cataract lens" of glasses. Your Health Wise columnist delights in simplistic health reporting. Yet, it isn't all that simple for everyone. Each case is unique; each individual a special case; each lens a study in character. That's why we need skillful ophthalmologists— eye surgeons. It's to these professionals that you must direct your gaze, if your vision is impaired and you suspect cataracts. An Appeal From Mexico Continued from page 3 think we must simply borrow the funds to get adequate septic systems installed, and hope to be able to pay it back. Any support you might want to give would be most welcome, for this very urgent need. This morning, we had some of the older boys dig out a new pit toilet to be used for the school facility—the existing one was disgusting, and we insisted it immediately be filled in. Have also started a composter, and the kitchen is now trained to send over its waste for our use there. We have 49 kids, ranging in age from 8 months to 16 years, and mainly girls. Our 5 yr. old blind boy, also paralyzed from the waist down, today took posses- sion of his new wheelchair—fashioned from 4 chairs we were given before we left Canada. Panchito is so excited to have wheels, but it will be a long time before he is able to propel himself—particularly as he is so small—we have had to build up the seat, pad the back etc. and have also included a tray on the arm-rests, so he can use it in the dining room. Like most of the kids, he is tiny, due to being seriously malnourished. Right now, the children get the barest minimum in the way of food, but it is likely a lot more than they would otherwise have been getting had they been somewhere else. Many of you have suggested you wanted to help us here, and we sure could use any help we can get.

West, M.D. MESSENGER/MARCH 1992 5 Adventist Development and Relief Agency, Canada Ugandan Orphans Learn of a Living God Vice President of Uganda with Kironde Michael at Kirinda SDA School. Many of you have heard of dictator Idi Amin and his reign of terror. Some may even remember Milton Obode's cannibalism. Few of you have seen what these two men have done to the little country of Uganda in East Central Africa. Uganda borders magnificent Lake Victoria, known worldwide as "The Pearl of Africa" back in the 1960's. The 1990's herald the new age of recovery from war and the disease of the 1980's—AIDS. In a population of 17 million people there remains the awful result of two decades of political unrest. One-point-five million orphans reside with extended families in overcrowded dwellings made predominately of mud, sticks and papyrus. Some Ugandans can afford steel roofing, still others burned bricks. The sad news is that these orphans have little hope of an education. Families of eight to ten children struggle to eke out an existence leaving little or nothing for the school fees of an orphan often unwillingly added to their home. A new light, however, already shines in the eyes of many of Uganda's "little people". In June of 1990 James Roffey and his wife Marta moved from an orphanage in neighboring Rwanda to build and maintain an orphanage near the capital city of Kampala. In the Adventist schools they visited, as many as one- fourth of the students were orphans, and unable to pay school fees. Teachers' salaries were very low; textbooks, blackboards and even school desks were non-existent. After many nights in prayer the Roffeys determined that thirty dollars ($30) a year could educate orphans in grades one through seven. A secondary student would be more costly at seventy-five dollars ($75) a year. Orphans could remain with willing extended family members while "sponsors" provided the necessary funds for their required school uniform, writing materials, school fees and even a Bible. They considered the number of the Sabbath School classes worldwide, the Pathfinder Clubs looking for Share Your Faith projects and individual church members who had a burden for Christian education. A steady stream of prayers accompanied one photograph after another leaving for America, Canada, France and Sweden. "New Parents" began depositing funds for the precious souls of Ugandan children. Free African Children through Education, (FACE), was born! Since January 357 children, from every denomination including Islam and tribal spiritualism, are hearing of the real love of Jesus. A still small voice is being heard by Seventh- day Adventist Christians worldwide who are listening. As a result of these beginnings ADRA Uganda is piloting a new project to help raise the number of children assisted to 2000 orphans by December 1992. ADRA Uganda Director, Barry Chapman of Australia, noted that after visiting a good number of the 130 Adventist schools in Uganda, "every school facility has an orphan population of at least 25% who are not paying fees. Our schools are at the breaking point." Adventist Christian education is the answer to Uganda's future. You can bring the good news to Uganda's orphans, such as in the following case: For thirteen year old Kironde Michael, the dream of learning a new language has come true. Now Kironde is no slouch, for he has already mastered three languages; Luganda, Swahili and English. Many a day Kironde was called to translate at Kirinda Children's Village, Kampala, Uganda, but Kironde was not satisfied. He was determined to add one more language to his repertoire. Kironde never lived at the Children's Village but walked the dusty roads from his grandmother's mud hut in Busabal to the orphanage school. He had attended classes for the past year, achieving the position of number one student in fourth grade. Education is not free to the children of Uganda so Kironde spent his Sundays and holidays working in the orphanage gardens to earn the shillings necessary to pay his school fees. When he needed a blanket, clothing or books he would work another day to provide for his necessities. He never asked for items to be given to him AD RA UPDATE 6 MESSENGER/MARCH 1992 Christian Record Services, Inc. that he didn't earn himself. One Friday afternoon Kironde went to the director's home requesting an English Bible. He could work on Sunday to earn it. "But Michael," Mrs. Roffey questioned, "how will you read it?" Without a moment's hesitation he replied, "If I have a Bible my friends can read it to me and they will know Jesus too!" In September Kironde left his grandmother, teachers and many friends at Kirinda Village S.D.A. School. He took with him his Bible, a new set of clothes, a pair of shoes, his blanket, a mattress and the photograph of his meeting with the Vice-President of Uganda, Dr. Samson Kisekka. He will miss his many friends, swimming in Lake Victoria, the children's stories at Sabbath School and the singing of the Busabala Church Choir. There will be new friends, new adventures at his home fifty miles north of Kampala at Jinga where he realizes his dream of learning Braille. Kironde is one of the thousands of victims of the DON'T MISS 111111111111 "Children of War" COMING TO YOUR CHURCH IN MARCH 1-800-765-6955 UW11111111 wars in Uganda. As a toddler his life was shattered when a hand grenade took the lives of his parents leaving him totally blind. ADRA Uganda is focusing on educating orphans and disabled children like Michael Kironde through FACE. Hundreds of FACE children are now enrolled in SDA schools throughout Uganda. Without school fees the future of Ugandan orphans is rather bleak. Their opportunities are limited to digging in the gardens of their guardians, herding goats, carrying water and tending smaller children. ADRA is opening the doors to their future through Adventist education so children can read for themselves about the love of Christ.

Every day, nearly 500,000 people in North America face the day in near or total darkness. Christian Record's ob- jective is to enrich the lives of those who are blind, deaf, visually or hearing impaired, regardless of race, creed, sex or economic status. The need to provide wholesome, inspirational services to these deserving individuals is great. Christian Record Services has supplied FREE ser- vices to the blind and sight impaired since 1899. Services for the deaf and hearing impaired persons have been of- fered since 1980. Our district representatives across Canada offer our ser- vices, provide encouragement, read mail, take the blind shopping and act as a referal service. The National Camps for the Blind have become the most delightful of our ser- vices offered. Financed entirely by CRS, the four camps operated last summer challenged over 220 blind in- dividuals to achieve greater self-confidence by allowing them to participate in activities a sighted person takes for granted. Because you, as a Seventh-day Adventist care, we are able to offer Bibles and Bible study guides in braille, large print and audio cassettes. Only your funds can finance the evangelistic outreach to our handicapped friends. Our newest study guides "Come Alive . . . With Jesus" are ready for eager students (large print). For the benefit of our Seventh-day Adventist visually impaired, CRS offers the Sabbath School lessons on audio cassette. Please do your part in ensuring the continuance of the church's outreach programme to the handicapped. Your gift is greatly appreciated!

Corporation Meeting The Triennial General Meeting of the Canadian Union College Corporation convened at Canadian Union College (CUC) on the 1st day of March 1992 for the follow- ing purposes: to hear reports and projections from ad- ministration and academic divisions; to appoint auditors for the ensuing triennium; to act on proposed changes to the Bylaws; and to appoint a Board of Trustees for the en- suing triennium. The follow- ing is a brief report of signifi- cant items from the various departments of administra- tion. The triennium covers the period from September 1, 1988 to August 31, 1991. Academic Administration Enrollment and Graduates— The college enrollment was steady for the first two years of the triennium but ex- perienced an increase of ap- proximately 17% in the fall enrollment for the current academic year, which is the highest in the history of the college. Enrollment figures for the triennium are 278, 275, and 327. Graduation statistics for the triennium are 40, 55, and 39. Accreditation—For decades the college sought authoriza- tion by the Province of Alber- ta to grant baccalaureate degrees other than in the field of divinity. Many different at- tempts for direct approval failed. However, in 1984 the province created the Private Colleges Accreditation Board. The government empowered it to establish the criteria whereby private post- secondary institutions in Alberta could grant degrees and to recommend to the Minister of Advanced Educa- tion the institutions that meet these standards. While the college was among the first to apply to the board for degree-granting ap- proval, the positive recom- mendation of the board was delayed for about seven years. During this frustrating period, the college repeatedly refined its proposals to the board and worked diligently to meet the conditions laid down by it. Finally, on May 3, 1991 the board voted to recommend to the minister that the college be granted approval to offer the Bachelor of Arts (three-year) degree with initial concentra- tions in English, music, and religious studies. This impor- tant happening was surpass- ed only by the most significant academic event of the trien- nium, if not in the history of the college, the official provin- cial proclamation of the college as a degree-granting institu- tion on September 5, 1991. Academic Master Plan—An important accomplishment during 1990 was the comple- tion of the first edition of the Academic Master Plan. The process, which involved all members of the faculty, began in the fall of 1989 and was completed on schedule in the fall of 1990. The plan involves an extensive description of the existing operations and ser- vices in the academic divi- sions, the Library, and the Of- fice of Academic Administration. Financial Administration During the previous trien- nium liabilities hit a peak of 6.8 million dollars in 1986. The Debt Reduction program that began September 1986 and ended August 1991, reduced this to $1,004,622 by August 1991. To assist with the debt li- quidation, we received $3,025,000 from the local con- ferences and $775,000 from the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada which also includes the contributions from the North American Division. By reorganizing the assets of the industries into corporations the majority of the remaining liabilities were removed from CUC. The young people of the church are its most valuable asset. The recognition of this fact is indicative of the finan- cial support received through various church channels. The college has made and con- tinues to make every effort to keep the educational costs as low as possible for our students. There has been no increase in tuition or room and board during the triennium. HERITAGE ALUMNI WEEKEND June 12-13 Honour Classes: 1942, 1947, 1952, 1957, 1962 Accreditation Celebration! Don't Miss This Special Weekend Student Services A notable addition in the area of student services is the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) program started during the 1990-91 school year. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for Christian witnessing through the media of athletics. Guidelines have been im- plemented which give direc- tion to the selection of team members and their continued membership on the team. Faculty sponsors have been assigned to guide the teams relative to the established goals and FCA criteria. Five athletic teams governed under FCA guidelines function ac- tively this school year. College Advancement Among Seventh-day Adven- tist colleges in North America, marketing has become big business. Each college vies for students with glossy, profes- sionally designed publica- tions, frequent bi-weekly phone calls, large scholar- ships, and work opportunity promises. CUC must compete in an effort to keep our young people in Canada. During the last two and one-half years emphases in recruitment and public relations have been undertaken in the following ways; College Days, a pro- gram for prospective college students; summer recruit- ment, which involves a music team hired each summer to represent the college at camp meetings across Canada; school visitation, that includes two visits to each grade 12 academy, and where possible all schools and all grades are visited; brochures, videos, advertisements, and bulletin inserts are some publications that are made available through the department. A good visitation program across Canada establishes friend- ships and encourages con- fidence in CUC. College Relations During the debt-reduction program a moratorium on fundraising was placed on CUC so as to allow the con- ferences to fundraise and recover their advance con- tribution to the program. This meant that the college lost per- sonal relationships with its donors. However, the consti- tuency in Canada was still very responsible in donating generously to the school. Donations for the triennium totalled $1,504,187 as com- pared to $1,066,792 of the previous triennium. The past three years has seen the renovation of the cafeteria, Maple Hall, and the 8 MESSENGER/MARCH 1992 Parkview Adventist Academy building. The new science building that was started, at least in concept during the past five years, is now moving toward completion in regard to fundraising. A celebration to "Match the Million" was held in September 1991. This culminated the objective set five years ago to match the million-dollar contribution from the Chan Foundation. Since the project was established so long ago and because the college has grown in its department, a larger building will be necessary, which will bring the cost to ap- proximately three million dollars. This means another one million dollars must be raised to complete the project. Fundraising plans are in pro- cess to enable this to take place. Parkview Adventist Academy Parkview Adventist Academy (PAA) is a semi-independent administrative unit of CUC. PAA offers both the Alberta General High School Diploma and the Alberta Advanced High School Diploma pro- grams. During the triennial period enrollments have re- mained relatively stable. Enrollment figures for the last three years are 218, 226, and 215. All Grade 12 students in Alberta are required to write at least one diploma examination to receive a high school diploma. PAA students con- tinue to achieve on or above provincial averages in most subjects. An indication of the outstanding scholastic achieve- ment of PAA students is evi- dent in the number of scholar- ships awarded by the Alberta Government. PAA graduates who received scholarships total 12, 7, and 10 for the last three years. A total of $30,400 was awarded to PAA students who maintained an 80%, or higher, average for grades 10, 11, and 12. We conclude with the words of President Fitch, "The prestige and sense of ac- complishment that is now ours as a degree-granting in- stitution must never cloud the purpose for which CUC exists. Christ-centred teaching must be an integral part of every class. Administration, faculty, and staff are encouraged to support the concept of Global Mission by spending time in faith-talk and prayer with students. Each student must be seen as an individual with infinite possibilities and as a candidate for the school above. The education and training for CUC must prepare students for the heavenly school."

Studies have shown that nearly 40 percent of Seventh-day Adventists are single. Currently, youth are postponing marriage to later years, the Adventist divorce rate is accelerating, and spouses are still lost to deaths. God's ideal for us is the family setting, but in reality it is far from the ideal. Single adults have the same basic needs as married adults. Both are in need of knowing that they belong, and that they have a place in society. Their need for self-esteem and love is just as great as it is for the married adult. Though the needs are similar between married and singles, these needs are met differently. Adventist Singles Ministries is a church organization for the singles of all ages. It is a group of caring people, reaching out to each other. It is meeting people, making friends, growing together to become an extended family. It is forming relationships, some that may last forever. ASM is an international organization supported by the Church Ministries Department of the General Conference of the SDA Church. ASM is a network of concerned singles reaching out to meet the challenge of making a difference in the lives of our singles. It is an approach to promote awareness of single adults in the church and offer spiritual enrichment, personal growth and Christian fellowship among fellow SDA singles. Were you aware that there is an active ASM group in Ontario? Perhaps not, but we would like you to know of our existence. In the past year we have conducted camping trips, Sabbath seminars, game nights, and held potlucks. The October Thanksgiving Retreat at New Frenda Youth Camp and our New Year's weekend festivity was an absolute success! Plans are now being made for the remainder of 1992. Perhaps you are already a part of an active singles group in your church. If so, let us know where you are. If you are not, we would like to invite you to get involved with ASM. Our goal for 1992 is to grow, and to form a network of Adventist Singles Ministry Chapters.

INVITING ALL FORMER MEMBERS AND FRIENDS: MARITIME CONFERENCE 90th ANNIVERSARY HOMECOMING CAMP MEETING '92 PUGWASH, NOVA SCOTIA JULY 31 TO AUGUST 8 Write for information: Maritime Conference, 121 Salisbury Road, Moncton, New Brunswick E1E 1A6 MESSENGER/MARCH 1992 9 ONTARIO Sudbury Pathfinders Build Float Doing God's Will It is our Christian duty to have a Christian will. We have a responsibility to God and His work and to our family and loved ones in this area of Christian stewardship. It has been said, "If you love your family, you will have a will." How many times death strikes a family unexpectedly, and the 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. The scriptures make it clear that all money and possessions are ours only in trust. God will hold each person accountable for his use or misuse of his Lord's goods. While we are not able to take our money with us to the world to come, we can "lay up treasure in heaven." That which we give to Christ and His work remains our own forever. By giving to spread abroad the knowledge of Christ's love, we are investing in a cause that is certain of success. If you would like to place funds with the Conference you can now earn 7% on your trust funds. This percentage is greater than most financial institutions are paying at present. Why not place your sav- ings so that your dollars, while on loan, can work for the Lord rather than make profits for worldly financial institutions. Please give consideration to this important plan. If we can be of further service in giving you information or assisting in a financial plan (will, trust, an- nuity), please call or write to the Ontario Conference Trust Services Department, 1110 King St. E., Box 520, Oshawa, Ontario, L1H 7M1 (416) 571-1022. Prize Winner Sarah Thorne combined her ar- tistic abilities with an interest in geography to win a prize in this year's National Geographic World magazine contest. Facing interna- tional competition from 2500 other students, Sarah placed third in her category (Grades 6-9). The first and second place finishers were from Wisconsin and California, respectively. A Courtice resident and Grade 8 student at College Park Elemen- tary School on Townline Road, Sarah has received World magazine for several years now and followed similar contests. This year's competition, called the World Waterways Contest, re- quired entrants to submit an il- lustration on the subject of water- ways. But that wasn't so easy. To find out the illustration's subject, participants had to first answer the magazine's selected geography questions each month, from January to June. Only the correct answers could help them and they had until July to submit the illustration. Sarah discovered she had to create an illustration of Australia's Great Barrier Reef and she envi- sioned it as a treasure map. Her beautiful drawing displays elements of the reef and its location. The December issue of the magazine lists her name and those of the other winners. She was the only Canadian to place in the top three in either of the two categories. For her efforts she received a globe and a geography book. For Sarah, who says she enjoys learning, the Waterways contest was an enjoyable experience. Many of the questions she need- ed to answer over the six-month entry period were difficult and re- quired library research, which she did when her homework was done. Congratulations! Desiring to be a witness for the Lord during the Christmas season, the Sudbury Pathfinders did not allow paradigms to interfere with their goal. With only 10 days to go, the Nicklers Club decided to enter the Santa Claus Parade and create their own float based on "Shepherds Watching Their Sheep". Working into the small hours of the morning, several Pathfinders and dedicated volunteers were busy cutting, painting, gluing and decorating a boom truck sponsored by Laaminen Construction (generously providing a driver as well) for the parade the following day. The float consisted of 11 shepherds watching over their sheep. A forest background at each end of the truck housed a tent with a Pathfinder in uniform. The boom was utilized to carry the three full-size angels. While the parade theme was Fantasyland, the Pathfinder float was one of only a few which depicted the Saviour's birth. Mt. Olive Baptism Mt. Olive Church members rejoiced greatly on Sabbath, February 8, when two new members, Olive McLeod and Marcia Green, were received into church fellowship. Sudbury Pathfinders enter their first float in the city's Christmas Parade. 10 MESSENGER/MARCH 1992 $3 Million- $2 Million- $2,454,838 $1,600,497 Figures for 1989-90 included $4 Million— � two major one-time gifts. $745,810 $1 Million Other 5.5% Corps/Fdns 8.39% KCd Kingsway College Acknowledges Alumni and Friends The following report was featured in the February 1992 edition of the Philanthropic Dollar.

Andre was born in Aruba, West Indies, lived in Holland for four years and speaks six languages. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University in Montreal in 1977, and his MDiv from Andrews University this past December. He has had special em- phasis in youth and young adult ministry. We would like to extend a warm welcome to Pastor Bruce and Dorothy Hayward. Bruce was born and raised in the Toronto area but is well acquainted with the province of Alberta, having spent many years here. He graduated in 1987 from Canadian Union College with a BA and in 1991 with a MDiv from Andrews University. His wife Dorothy graduated in 1987 from Canadian Union Col- lege with a BEd degree, continued her education at Andrews Univer- sity, earning a MA in psychology in 1991. Dorothy is employed at the Grande Prairie Queen Elizabeth II Hospital. The Haywards have two daughters, Darla 16 and Dora 14. We want to welcome you back to Greta, also a West Indian, from the island of Nevis, received her MA in Education also at Concor- dia University in 1988. She stands by her husband's side as his team- mate in their ministry. The Beydes have three girls— Annella, eight years old, Amanda, six and a half, Andrea, five, and one son—Adrian, who is three. Their love for their ministry is evident in the warmth and hap- piness that radiates from the Beyde family. We want to extend a warm welcome to them, and say, "We're glad you're a part of our team!" the Alberta Conference and wish you the Lord's blessings in your ministry to the Grande Prairie Church and Valleyview Company. Present predictions of economic hardship have not tarnished the vision and focus of the publishing work in Alberta. These days are times of oppor- tunities for literature evangelists. Our workers are finding a broader spectrum of society responding to the literature offered. Presently we have six full time and fifteen part time literature evangelists working in the Alber- ta Conference. For the year 1991 they delivered $287, 729.25 worth of literature into the homes of peo- ple in Alberta and the North-West Territories. They have seen eight of their customers join the church by baptism. Many large and small Spirit of Prophecy message books were sold or left in people's homes. We know by God's pro- mise that these will bear much fruit in the days ahead. The following figures show the amount of books in dollar value sold in the Alberta Conference since 1987. 1987-$137,583.21 1988-$234,042.79 1989-$295,347.61 1990-$304,367.82 1991-$287,729.25 This is a total of $1,259,070.68 in the last five years! Think of the tens of thousands of people who benefitted by various types of reading materials that make their lives healthier and happier and have power to influence them for eternity! The Publishing Depart- ment wants to express apprecia- tion to the Alberta Conference constituency and leadership for the continued support of this vital ministry of the remnant church. Karl Samek, Director Publishing Department 12 MESSENGER/MARCH 1992 Soup Ministry In September of last year, Chris Rice and Millie Snow phoned me to ask if I would like to come out and help them with their mission project of passing out soup and sandwiches in the Southeast cor- ner of Edmonton (intersection of 103 Ave. and 96 Street). This area is known as the strip—where the homeless, the drunks, and the prostitutes live. These two ladies, after three weeks, asked me if I could carry on this program on my own. I ac- cepted, not knowing if I would get help from our church members. "Phil," said one of the members who came to me on hearing about the project, "this is what I have been waiting for. Some way that we can help those people who are down and out." At first, there were only a few members helping. But the interest has increased con- siderably. Now we have some of the youth involved in the project. Phil Brod stirs the soup. When we started, we were out in the open standing by a portable table and passing out soup and sandwiches and literature to about 35-45 people. That has increased now to about 80-105 people on a Saturday night. Of course, now we are working out of a used school bus that was donated to us by one of our church families, Leo and Dianne Boblitz. They both love and enjoy doing this type of work. This project has provided some very good experiences for us such as one that occurred just before Christmas when a well-dressed man came to us. We offered him some soup. "I don't really want in Edmonton no soup," he said, "you see, I'm a cook, but I want to talk to some- one." "Come," I said, "let's sit down here on a bench where we can talk." He picked up a bowl of soup and started to talk. "My wife and I were Christians. She got killed a year ago. We're married for sixteen years. Since then I have only been drinking and using drugs, and cursing God with every thing I could think of. I even said, 'if there is a God of love, why does all this come to me?' I had been thinking of com- ing back, but then the question lingered in my mind, How can God ever forgive me?" I quoted to him Isaiah 1:18 and asked Ron if he would like for us to have prayer with him. "I'd real- ly appreciate it," he said. I asked our heavenly Father to give Ron the strength and courage to go through with his goal to get off drugs and alcohol. Before he left, he said to us, "Now I know why I stopped here tonight. This was to give me the courage to go ahead and to know that there are people out here that do care for people like me and remember us in their devotions." We need your prayers in this ministry. Phil Brod, Correspondent Edmonton Central Computer Health Testing At Stettler On January 28, a number of local health organizations conducted a Health Fair at the Stettler Town Centre Mall. There were eight booths in all which included the Canadian Cancer Society, Alzheimer's Support Group, AD- DAC, Canadian Diabetes Associa- tion (from Red Deer), Stettler Health Unit, and three different computer health testing programs—Heart Chec, Stress, and Health Age. Over 130 computer tests were taken. Some took the tests in all three programs while others took one or two. The most called-for health programs were stress seminars, weight control, and smoking cessation. The fair was organized by the Stettler Seventh-day Adventist Church as a community service. Our appreciation goes to Judy McNeill and the Stettler Town Centre Mall for accommodating the fair. Judy says she would be prepared to open the mall up next January for another fair. Perhaps that one will be with more organizations participating, and with more extensive health tests such as glaucoma, cholesterol, and treadmill heart tests.

Loyalist Celebrates Victory The Loyalist Church celebrated the end of their Ingathering cam- paign with a victory feast on December 14, 1991. After the tas- ty and simple meal was enjoyed by the members, several took the opportunity to relate some of their fakinating experiences. Some em- phasized the importance of visiting the same homes and businesses each year, as friend- ships can be established and the visits made easier. This fall the program was begun in mid-October but was inter- rupted by a heavy snowstorm. A month later it was started again and with perseverance, in spite of a depressed economy and joblessness, we achieved the highest ever total in funds raised—$5,935! With a member- ship of 27, this is an average of $219.81 per member! We salute Alex Tym, the personal ministries leader, and his fine team who have achieved this unique distinction. Werner Seidel, Pastor Loyalist Bentley Church Helps Local Fire Department The Bentley church solicited the town to help the Volunteer Fire Department achieve their goal to obtain the Jaws of Life. On December 16, several members of the Bentley Church went out with a caroling unit to in- gather for Jaws of Life. They rais- ed nearly $1,100 that evening and another $385 came in the next day. Henry Bartsch, pastor of the Bentley Church, handed $1,476.30 in cheques to Fire chief Bill Gar- ries at the local fire hall the follow- ing day. This money will be matched by the Alberta government—$3 for each $1 raised. This helped the department to reach their goal of $24,000 needed to purchase the Jaws of Life. The Ingathering goal was reach- ed by the Bentley members mak- ing personal contributions.

Clothilde de Horton. Apart from the enjoyment of fellowship, the local pastors benefitted from workshops in several depart- ments. Women's Ministries coor- dinator, Jean Parchment held meetings especially suited to the needs of pastor's wives and Kar- nik Doukmetzian, legal counsel for the church in Canada, held an in- formative session on Trust Ser- vices and on the Revolving Fund. He also explained the church's in- surance plan. Translating was done by Yves Colas. The newest worker in the Quebec Conference, Pastor Belonio, presented the devotional talk and President Samms gave the spiritual emphasis. To avoid travelling to these meetings in inclement weather, the meetings are proposed for Oc- tober next year, instead of January. Georges Hermans, Secretary, Quebec Conference. New Pastor On January 1, 1992, a new fami- ly came to join the pastoral force in Quebec. Pastor Darielyn Belonio, his wife Priscilla and their three children came to us from An- drews University. Darielyn is Filipino but raised and educated in the United States and Canada. This family will carry the responsibility of a large district and we know that the Lord will bless them and the members they will work for. We welcome them to the Quebec Conference. Pastor Belonio was officially introduced on January 26, by Elder Robert O.A. Samms during the meeting in Val d'Espoir.
