BECKER, Secretary Missionary Volunteer Department, Atlantic Union Conference The year 1957 marks the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Missionary Volun- teer Department. From humble begin- nings in 1907, the work of youth has expanded until it now circles the globe. The number of societies has grown from 281 in 1907 to 13,735 in 1955. During the same period our membership has grown from 529 to 407,- 576. Everywhere youth have accepted the pledge, "Loving the Lord Jesus, I promise to take an active part." Youth leaders have adopted as their theme during the an- niversary year, SHARING THE FAITH OF OUR FATHERS. The year 1957 affords the golden upportunity of looking back to the providential leading of God, and forward to the cul- mination of the rapidly ex- panding work of the church. The MV Voice of Youth, youth evangelism by and for youth, will be featured during 1957. The Atlantic Union Conference youth leaders in council recently set a goal of 31 MV Voice of Youth meetings dur- ing the current year. All youth centers are being encouraged to move forward in heralding the faith of our fathers. Two. MV Voice of Youth manuals, The Guidebook and The Sermons, are available for participating youth. During this Golden Anniversary year, gold-colored membership cards are being issued for junior and senior youth who make application. It is the goal of the MV Department to place a membership card in the hands of all youth. Isolated youth and band mem- bers in small companies may become members of the Conference MV So- ciety. The suggested membership goal for the Atlantic Union Conference during 1957 is 4,775. Our present mem- bership stands at approximately 4,000. and we know that many youth have not yet requested the membership awaiting them. Membership is not au- tomatic it must be requested each year. The youth book, Messages to Young People, will be giv- . en wide circulation during 1957. Available for only $1.00, it should be owned and read by all young people. The new plan for reading Messages to Young People and selected portions of the Bible is being recommended and meets the same requirements as the Character Classics reading plan. Special services commemo- rating the beginning of our Missionary Volunteer work will be held at Mount Ver- non, Ohio, July 12 and 13. Authorization has been given for one delegate from each conference throughout North America to attend. During 1957 the junior and senior youth of the Atlantic Union Conference are invited to share their funds with the Malagasy youth. Our missionary project is the erection of needed classrooms for the Indian Ocean Union Training School at Madagascar. We have been assigned the goal of $2,050, and we believe the response throughout the union will be MV secretaries in council with Elder Skinner. Seated: L. A. Skinner, V. W. Becker. Standing: F. E.

Farewell Life is made up of decisions. Some are easy; some are difficult. When a call comes to "move on" it is not easy. Parting, even temporarily, from friends is not pleasant. We are fully persuaded that God works through His appointed agencies. Our chief desire in life is to be where God would have us to be, and do what He would have us to do. That is why we came to the Greater New York Conference seven years and three months ago. That is why we have accepted the call to serve in New Jersey. It has been a pleasure to serve with our leadership and laymen in Greater New York. The needs and challenge of this great multitude shall retain a prayerful interest in our hearts. The fact that our daughter, Donna, was married in New York City, and we acquired a wonderful son-in-law David Gardner, makes the ties even deeper than would be otherwise. God has been wonderfully good to us. As we look back over the years and note the pro- gress that has been made in the work here, we can truly say, "What bath God wrought." So we say, farewell for a little while, and may God's richest blessing be with you each. May the motto of our es- teemed leader, Elder L. E. Esteb, be ours. It is: "Make new friends, but keep the old; The first is silver, the latter gold." Your friends, ELDER AND MRS. JOHN A. Tom' Witnessing at 22,000 Feet W. D. Kassul of New York City, representative of the Loma Linda Food Company, recently had a good ex- perience which was printed in Between Us, an organ of the food company published at Arlington, Calif. On his return from a sales convention in California, while flying at an altitude of 22,000 feet, he had the following experience, as printed in Between Us. "I sat next to a nice looking gentle- man on the plane. Within five minutes our discussion centered around religion —which he denounced as being the chief source of all strife, hate, and wars in this world. What a challenge! I prayed silently for wisdom, and the Lord gave me great joy witnessing for Him. "What a surprise it was to me to discover that he was a general practi- tioner in New York; and what a surprise to him when he learned who I was! He was bitter toward the Catholic Church because it objected to his marriage to a Jewess. He seemed to be more in harmony with the Jewish faith, although he wasn't even sure that there was a God. "He seemed utterly amazed at my strong faith in a prayer-hearing, prayer- answering God. I told him of my many experiences with doctors and how God has helped me. When he learned about Loma Linda and the S.D.A Church, and what our position is in the denom- ination, he found it almost unbelievable. He was pleased that we, like the Jews, worship on Sabbath, and promised to look further into our beliefs. "I was very happy to be able to witness for my Lord at 22,00 feet, and I pray that my testimony maw not have been in vain!"

Academy Temperance Contests On Saturday evening, March 9, at the annual Academy Temperance Con- test held at Greater New York Acad- emy, a capacity audience heard Sherry Curyk deliver the winning oration, which will in turn be given at the At- lantic Union Contest on March 30, 1957, at Union Springs Academy. Among others who competed, Marion Tron and Reed. Kinney placed second and third respectively. "Disaster Within That Common Weed" was the name of Christine Er- lecke's essay, chosen by the judges as the best submitted, though entries by Gereal Doggette and Lilya Vinglas carried off the other two prizes in this category. In the poster competition, Frederick Harder entered two winners, the one titled "Chain Gang," which depicted the enslaving effects of tobacco, liq- uor, and narcotics, rating top honors. The third award went to Sylvia Vac- quer and Arlene Krick, who collab- orated on an entry. Of the forty-five jingles written, Edwin Dietrich's "Smoking and drink- ing stop the thinking" received the first prize, with Ellen Lee's and Frances Petrone's adjudged two next best.

E. Robinson has recently come to our office from Dr. Joseph W. L. Trefz, who is now located in Union Springs: "I'd like to say a word about the book I recently obtained from your office entitled The Story of Our Health Message by Robin- son. I have found it a refreshing book. I hope you are familiar with it and that it is being given favorable publicity when you make your rounds displaying the Spirit of prophecy literature. We do not have uniform agreement among us regarding the significance of matters pertaining to health. I think this book, written by a secretary of Mrs. White —a person who was practically a family member—is a definite help toward giving us an understanding of the thinking of these pioneers. I feel it is as important for us to know what they were thinking, and why, as it is to know what they said in any certain circumstance, or to any particular individual." This book is a Christian Home Library volume and priced at $2.65 for the cloth binding or $3.65 for the deluxe, gift boxed edition (postpaid). To secure copies of this fine book see your church missionary sec- retary or send an order with remittance to your Book and Bible House. E. L. VANSANFORD, Manager New York Book and Bible House P. O.

VOORHEES Colporteur Experiences My husband and I had spent the summer months in Northern New Eng- land and the time had come for us to wend our way back to our field of labor in Florida. The distance was nearly two thousand miles and we car- ried a heavy load. The second day out we had a flat tire. That, of course, took time and money, but through the experience I sold three books and en- rolled two in the Bible correspondence course. Later Mr. Waldo was taken ill with a cold. Night and a pouring rain were coming, and we could find no motel. As it began to get dark, we stopped at a home to inquire for a place to stay. The lady seemed happy to have us stay with her. She gave us the best room in the house and insisted that we have supper with her. In the eve- ning she told us she had recently lost her husband. The conversation led to a discussion of the hereafter, Bible study, and prayer. She aske many questions, then closed the evening by buying Bible Readings. When we left in the morning, she would not let us pay for the lodging and two meals. She said she felt the Lord had sent us to her, for we had been such a comfort. Going through the Carolinas we were to pass a place where we had stopped on our trip north. I mentioned that I wanted to say "hello" to the people at the motel where we had stayed. My husband seemed to feel we should not take the time to stop, but I reminded him that we had lodged there as guests of the owners and we should stop. It was Friday when we had gone through that city, and as we do not travel on the Sabbath, we wanted to find a place to spend the day. This motel was rather elaborate and quite high in price, but when the proprietor learned we were Seventh-day Adventist workers, he said we were his guests while there. Then he told us the location of our church and how he was impressed with Seventh-day Ad- ventists and their fine work. He would take no money for our two night's stay, so I gave his little son one of our large Bible story books. They insisted that I autograph it. It was noon as we passed now and I insisted we stop. The family were so glad to see us. They told us how much they liked the lovely book I gave them. Now grandma is reading it. As the conversation led to books, I felt impressed to show Bible Readings. They immediately wanted a copy. I kept on showing this and that until their order amounted to $106.25—a cash sale! Oh, it pays to have your ammunition along when you are on the firing line. They also wanted the Bible study course, and they thanked us for the prayer we offered just before departing. The next day we sold books which amounted to $12.00, and had a fine experience. On this journey we sold books to the value of $203.50. The Lord surely blessed us—even many of our "mis- haps" proved to be His appointments, and we expect some we met will find their way into the kingdom of God.

It shows meetings with many native tribes, from the tiny pygmies of the Congo forests, to the seven-foot Watussi giants of Ruanda-Urundi. The wild splendor of Africa is shown in a series of beautiful color-shots of hitherto unfilmed parts of the subcontinent. On his return to America in August 1955 it became necessary for Dean Tarr to cancel a nation-wide series of lyceum engagements in order to answer the call to connect with the college program of the denomination in this country. Previously he had been director of education for the Southern African Division for about ten years. In this connection it was necessary to admin- ister the work of nearly 2,000 schools operating from the Cape of Good Hope in the South to the Sahara in the North. In spite of heavy responsibilities, Dean Tarr has during the past eighteen months lectured to various clubs and organizations and appeared on TV pro- grams throughout the country. The Saturday night program will begin at 8:15. An offering will be taken. Dormitory Campaign Launched Students and faculty of Atlantic Un- ion College enthusiastically launched a drive to raise $15,000 as their share of the cost of the new men's dormitory. The individual goal for each student is $15 for this year, to be raised before the end of April. Fund-raising campaigns are not new at Atlantic Union College. Such stu- dent participation was begun on the very first day of school back in the carriage shop on April 19, 1882, when Orvil Farnsworth, a student of "That New England School" on its first day, proposed that the students begin to raise funds for the improvement of the school facilities. They obtained an acre of ground and from the garden pro- duce were able to raise $50 within a few months. Student campaigns have contributed materially to growth and progress at Atlantic Union College ever since. Last year, with almost 100 per cent participation, the students and staff of A.U.C. raised their share in the cost of the new organ and exceeded the goal set by almost 50 per cent more within four weeks. Mr. Vernon Siver, business manager for the college and faculty advisor to the Student Association, is general chairman of the campaign. Several in- dividual prizes have been offered, with the grand prize of a week end in Bermuda made available to every stu- dent who raises $500 or more toward the goal. The conference band leaders for the campaign are William Bourbeau for Southern New England, Ronald Turk for Northern New England, Elliot Schermerhorn for New York, Robert Soderblom for Greater New York, and Robert Kingman for the "World Trav- elers." Those who assisted in the launching of the campaign were: Dr. L. M. Stump, Mrs. Rochelle Kilgore, Dr. E. W. Ney, Robert Marshall, Carolyn Murphy, and Duane Rhodes. Anniversary Art Exhibit Former students and faculty mem- bers are invited to contribute to an exhibition of original art work which is planned as a feature of the 75th Anniversary celebration. Paintings or other works of art should be mailed or shipped prepaid to reach the college not later than April 18. Exhibits brought by those attending the celebra- tion will be included if they are re- ceived by the morning of Friday, April 19. This will not necessarily be an exhibition of professional work, al- though some work of this quality will be included. Amateur painters and craftsmen are urged to have a part in making the exhibition interesting and profitable. �MABEL BARTLETT It is a heap better to have fools laugh at you in youth for being wise than to have wise men laugh at you in old age for having been a fool in youth.
