IIW Reports on Miniseries Telecasts
Preliminary figures show that 8,853 families responded by either telephone or mail to the invitation for the gift book, The Cry of a Lonely Planet, offered on the It Is Written miniseries telecasts.
Stories behind the numbers continue to unfold.
One of the many people who asked for the address of the nearest Seventh-day Adventist church also asked for a pastoral visit. Later an Andrews University chaplain called to inquire regarding the visit and discovered one excited gentleman!
This man and his family visited the church, received a warm welcome, shared the fellowship meal with members at lunch time, and made plans to study the Bible with the pastor. An unemployed sales representative, the visitor providentially discovered that one of the church members was looking for a salesman in his business.
Many viewers visited churches more than once, according to follow-up reports.
Earnest and careful preparatory work had been done in most areas of the Northern California Conference. For example, in one church there were 40 interested people one Sabbath, and in another 35 people were present.
Results are still being tabulated for Southeastern California Conference where advertisements were taken in the San Bernardino Sun

and Riverside Press. Nearly $2,800 was spent on ads during the three weeks.
A total of 1,258 or 16 percent of the total calls were requests for specific information about Seventh-day Adventists beyond the promised gift book. And from just two sentences about the new videocassette Bible study ministry, “Truth for the End Time,” 128 people requested information.

Disney-trained Adventists To Animate Bible
Writer-Director-Composer E. J. Irish, co-author of Chapel Records’ “Secrets of the Kingdom,” has officially announced the formation of Always Yes Productions. The ministry-oriented concern will create animated films for both general and church audiences.
Mr. Irish, who received both his B.A. in religion and M.A. in religious education from Loma Linda University, is a Bible teacher and a former Disney employee. He has written such songs as “Dry ’n’ Dusty,” “Campmeeting Time,” “Stained Glass Christ,” “Destiny” and “Quiet Galilean Nights.”
“We plan to attract a large unchurched general audience through offering substance in music, story, animation and dramatic talent,” Mr. Irish explains.
“We believe the forming of this group to be a miracle in itself. Our people come from various Hollywood studios and have many years of experience at film mak-
Medical and communication needs of the deaf community are now being answered at Glendale Adventist Medical Center.
Deaf and hearing-impaired patients are welcomed into a unique hospital environment at the Medical Center’s new Unit for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired. The 33-bed unit, located at the Chevy Chase campus, is the nation’s first medical-surgical unit designed and staffed to meet the communication needs of the deaf.
Each patient is provided with a personal TTY (teletypewriter) used by the deaf and hearing impaired to communicate on the phone. Patient rooms feature closed-caption television which shows a written translation of the

“Films of taste and with spiritual sensitivity are more than able to surprise the film world and capture a large audience. Films like ‘Chariots of Fire’ and ‘Ghan-di’ show that,” Mr. Irish says. “If these film projects are 100 percent God’s, then the current world, which I am convinced is spiritually malnourished, will be hungry for them,’’ the camposer-artist believes.
Always Yes plans on creating follow-up Bible studies for interests resulting from the film projects.

Each room is also equipped with a special nurse-call system which utilizes flashing lights instead of an intercom and buzzer. In addition, lights replace the telephone bell and fire alarm.

Church To Observe Spirit of Prophecy Day
Although psychics, fortunetellers and astrologers have given prophecy a bad name, the “tabloid” seers have aroused new interest in the ministry of Seventh
day Adventists and Ellen White.
Health principles advocated by Mrs. White are being credited with giving Adventists six additional years of life—guidelines mentioned in a current issue of the American Medical Association’s Journal of Medicine and The Saturday Evening Post. Specifically, the AMA Journal reports on a study done on students at the Illinois Conference boarding school, Broadview Academy, while the Post spoke of Adventists and health in a more general way.
Such principles were found to be unerring, while other publications are avowing that modern-
the Creator-God, that His love might be shared with ‘every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.’ ”

“ Wherever a patient goes in the Medical Center—dietary, emergency, social service, admitting, or the pharmacy—he/she will be able to communicate, to ask questions and to receive answers,” says Mark Dana, program director for the specialized unit.
The unique needs of the deaf and hearing-impaired patient are particularly appreciated by Mr. Dana, who became deaf at the age of 19.

day prophets are “about 60 percent on a guessing average.”
In the midst of such discussions, the Church again observes Spirit of Prophecy Day, Sabbath,
May 19. Though Mrs. White did not call herself a prophet, the Church has called her that through the years—even when referring to her works of a more devotional nature. Such a day of emphasis gives time for education into the Biblical evaluation of prophets and the work of Ellen White in particular.
Sermons across North America will point out that prophets through the years have, for the most part, recorded their visions in their own words—though “holy men of old spake as they were moved by the Spirit.”
While longevity is not a trademark of today’s “seers,” Mrs. White’s books continue to be best sellers nearly seven decades after her death. Steps to Christ, for example, has been translated into more than 100 languages and has sold in excess of 19 million copies.

Adventists have been known as “The people of the Book.” To keep that reputation we need to be thorough students of the Bible. With that in mind the Clovis Church and the Sabbath School Department are co-sponsoring a Biblical Exposition Seminar May 4-6 at the Clovis church.
Conducted by Dr. Jack Dunham of Arizona, the seminar teaches methods of personal Bible study. Elders, personal ministries leaders, Sabbath school superintendents and teachers will find this seminar especially helpful, but it is designed for all members interested in Bible study. Participants learn how to research any Bible topic for themselves.

See your Sabbath school superintendent or pastor to preregister. Registration will be done at the first class meeting. There is a lab materials fee of $8.
Those attending are asked to bring a Bible with marginal references and a concordance in the back, a Strong’s Concordance, and a sandwich for Sabbath evening. Strong’s Concordances will be available at a special price to participants.
This seminar, along with the Teaching Fundamentals Seminar, is a prerequisite to the Class Interaction Seminar, an advanced teacher training seminar to be held in Clovis the weekend of September 21-23.

Search Under Way for Choral Organizations
A conferencewide search for regularly performing choral organizations is under way.
Both the music committee of the General Conference Session for 1985 and the national Adventist Church Musicians’ Association want to know about churches in Central that have choirs—adult, youth or children’s.
Information—particularly the name, address, and phone number of the choir director—should be sent to Pastor Richard Lee Fenn, Assistant to the President, Central California Conference of Seventhday Adventists, P.O. Box 770, Clovis, CA 93613.
Meekness, a Fruit
“Meekness in the school of Christ is one of the marked fruits of the Spirit. It is a grace wrought by the Holy Spirit as a sanctifier, and enables its possessor at all times to control a rash and impetuous temper. ”—SL. 15.

Jumbled Tags
Refrigerators were marked $2.89. Bars of toilet soap were going for only $550. Expensive coats were labeled $1.98 a dozen. Shaving cream, $69. Men’s socks “marked down” to $150. Color TVs, three for $1. Candy bars, $47 each. Obviously, it was the work of a practical joker who switched price tags willy-nilly overnight.
Speaking of price tags, do the priority tags in your home ever resemble this small-town department store mess up? How do you arrange your priorities? What comes first in your life? Spread your “goods” out on the table. Then be honest with yourself. God. Spouse. Children. Friends. Car. Job. Clothes. TV. Social life. Whatever. First, arrange them as you live your priorities today.
Now go through the list again, carefully and prayerfully. Rearrange it as you would like it to be. I hope your first three were as I have placed them above. Such priorities will assure the meeting of your family’s most fundamental needs.
To keep your priorites straight, check frequently. Don’t let anything or anyone jumble your tags.
TAA Principals Get Together at Education Administrators Meeting
The National Association of Secondary School Principals met in its Annual Convention in February.
In conjunction with this a meeting of North American Seventhday Adventist educators also was held. During one of the meetings, it was noticed that all of the past principals of Thunderbird Adventist Academy were present except C. B. Harris.
Thunderbird Adventist Academy was born when Arizona Academy moved from the Phoenix campus to the rural north-Scottsdale site. Ray Stone was called to Arizona to make the transfer and to develop Thunderbird Air Force Base #2 into a school.
Thunderbird began to rebuild during the principalship of Don Wright and continued develop-

ment through Don Keele’s and Ron Russell’s years. Today the school has a beautiful campus. The Arizona Conference Association has been able to provide funds to complete the buildings to this stage without incurring debt.
Thunderbird has continued to operate one of the last major school-owned industries—Thunderbird Furniture. The industry was begun early in the administration of Ray Stone and today provides from $150 to $175 per student per month in labor. In fact, adults have had to be employed to cover for the lack of students who are 17 and 18 years of age to work in the mill. Students are needed who will work to earn money for school.
The aviation program, with Principal Harris as one of the first instructors, also continues to draw students to Thunderbird Adventist Academy. Anually, 13-15 students are involved in the program and five to seven students obtain their private-pilot’s licenses.
It was good for those who had a part in the development and history of Thunderbird Adventist Academy to have the opportunity to meet together. Students and staff who lived on campus have gone on to contribute to the work of the Church around the world.

So said Health and Temperance Director Tom Neslund of response to radio and TV announcements offering the Five-Day Plan To Stop Smoking.
Spots were aired on KABC, KNX, KFWB, KNBC-TV and all other stations in Los Angeles and Ventura County during a major promotional campaign offering Five-Day Plans to be held during the week of the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smoke-Out.
In all, 459 calls came in to the Southern California Conference office in a three-week period, some from broadcast spots, others in response to an advertisement in the Los Angeles Times, which generated 79 calls during one business day alone.
Each caller received a packet of information on the Five-Day Plan along with the addresses and phone numbers of churches and hospitals holding Five-Day Plans during the special effort.
Newspaper stories were sent to each church public relations secretary for use in local papers, and every church conducting a Five-Day Plan during the campaign was given funds to purchase newspaper advertising space.

Mr. Carbajal is associate pastor in charge of music and youth ministries at the Central Filipino church.
The success of this program was not only in the raising of funds for the church building project, but also in getting the youth working together toward a common goal. According to Steve Bottroff, writer and director of the program, the youth were professional throughout the whole performance.
Plans were made to stage the production in other nearby areas.

Rio Lindo Adventist Academy "Go From Here to Serve”
Bordered by the beautiful Russian River, Rio Lindo Adventist Academy enjoys an unsurpassed natural environment. This picture was taken from directly over the campus and shows the administration building, dorms, and classrooms surrounded by recreational facilities and faculty housing.
"Project Rio”—What is it and what does it mean? Rio Lindo Adventist Academy has been serving the needs of young people in the Northern California Conference for 22 years—focusing young minds on the things of God and developing an ever-increasing sensitivity to the urgency of seeing the Gospel go to all the world in this generation.
A strong work/study program exists at Rio Lindo Adventist Academy today where students can earn as they learn. Work/study is now a requirement for graduation. The business office is expanding to include computer education. Harris Pine Mills.is currently employing 40 students and could use more. The Rio Glass Works is a specialty work that creates stained glass windows for churches using faceted, multicolored glass. The Creative Wood Design factory, a growing industry, employs 30 students and makes a line of well-made wooden toys. Ultra-light, a modern-day aircraft, is under development. Then there is the maintenance of buildings and grounds that makes it possible for every student to be active in the work/study program.
Twenty-two years of constant use has left its mark on the buildings and facilities. They are in need of upgrading to maintain Rio Lindo Adventist Academy as one of the finest schools in the denomination. A “Project Rio” special committee is at work right now raising the estimated $370,000 that is necessary to bring Rio Lindo Adventist Academy up to building codes and maintain it as an energy efficient institution. Stated areas of need include the campus buildings,

the heating system, lighting, roads, and soil conservation.
Rio Lindo Adventist Academy belongs to the Constituency of the Northern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists who must never lose sight of the real purpose of education that this school has been dedicated to accomplish. The high ideals and principles as demonstrated in the lives of students and faculty alike, bonded together in Christ, and dedicated to the program now called “Project Rio,” call for a response from every member of the Northern California Conference.
Dear Elder John Collins,
I want to share some observations regarding Academy Day. I drove a car with four students. After the day was over, the car was full of chatter all the way home. I’ll try to condense it and still give an accurate account of the way it impressed my carload.
I can’t recall any negative comments. Above all, what impressed the girls most (I had all girls in my car) was the friendliness of the students and faculty. I listened to them discuss experiences where complete strangers had spoken to them; and my girls sensed a friendliness and genuine interest which impressed them more than anything else. They noticed that Rio students were not afraid to talk about Christ; they weren’t afraid to say how they feel. They appreciated the testimonies. They noticed that the atmosphere on campus is very spiritual.
In my case with all girls, the girls’ dean was another key topic. The girls said she made them feel important—like they really mattered to her and she really cared about them. It definitely was not put on; they could sense she really cares. There was a marvelous interaction. Nobody rushed us out-nothing was more Important than us. What a super feeling!
They were so very favorably impressed with Rio and it bubbled out of them for more than three hours solid; they talked of nothing else. Although the grounds & the physical plant are attractive, those were not the things that mattered. They were drawn to the people first.
Sincerely,
A Grateful Parent

Rio Lindo
Adventist Academy and Church Structure Are Top Items for NCC Constituency Session
Not having a natural constituency of churches to appeal to when needs are evident, Rio Lindo Adventist Academy must appeal to the only constituency it has— which just happens to be the entire constituency of the
Conference. Elder John Collins, the principal of RLAA, reports that there is a new vitality on the campus—a pride in the quality of education that is being offered. But he has also noted that there are needs on the campus that should be addressed now before they become critical and much more expensive to care for in the future. There are no plans to assess churches for the necessary funds, but it has been proposed that one half of the necessary $370,000 be raised by personal pledges and the balance be funded from the Conference’s Academy Redevelopment and Expansion Fund (ARE). This fund was originally established to build a second boarding academy in the Northern California Conference, but available student projections later showed that such a step would not be advisable. Consequently, the funds were placed in a separate account by the Northern California Conference Constituency in session with the interest designated to benefit equipment purchases for church schools in the Conference. The principal in the Academy Redevelopment and Expansion Fund can only be spent with the authorization of the Constituency of the Conference.
At the 1983 NCC Constituency Session, delegates made a recommendation that a "Church Structure Committee" be established in this conference to study the organizational structure of this conference.
The Conference Executive Committee took an action on July 11, 1983, to appoint the following persons to the Northern California Conference Church Structure Committee, with the understanding that they will also serve as the Northern California Conference representatives on the Pacific Union Conference Church Structure
Committee:
Marion Williams. Halvard Thomsen Frank Graves.... Richard Schwartz Ed Stockton....
Layperson (Committee Chairperson) .Pastor (Committee Secretary) .... Layperson, Pleasant Hill Church .... Conference Ministerial Director ......Layperson,	Eureka
The Committee's interim report will be presented to the Constituency delegates along with recommendations for suggested action to be taken at the session. These include a recommendation for the Conference Executive Committee to implement a system of pastoral evaluation and to create a personnel office. Other recommendations concern education and "performance review" committees to monitor conference objectives and programs.
There are two new approaches to evangelism presently being employed in the Northern California Conference 5 that show great promise. Truth for the End Time video
seminars and the Revelation Seminar are being utilized
very successfully in many churches.
The Revelation Seminar has proven to be a very effective way of attracting the public to Adventist churches to study the Bible. The Texas Conference, which originated the concept, states that for every one thousand brochures that are sent out to communities, about three persons will respond. In this conference responses are about twice that figure and, in some cases, three times greater.
The Northern California Conference is giving strong encouragement to pastoral, lay, and youth involvement in Revelation Seminars as well as Truth for the End Time video seminars. Both approaches allow for small-group seminars in homes, inexpensive meeting places, and churches. Instead of trying to attract large numbers of people to a few big evangelistic crusades, the seminars are successful because more people can be exposed to the Church’s messages through laypersons participating and leading out.
Individuals wishing to know more about evangelism
opportunities in Revelation Seminars may attend a training
session near them during the month of May. These will be held at the following locations:
Vallejo Central Church...............May 19 — 2:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Napa Valley Adventist Retirement Estates Administrator’s Report
Adventist Retirement Estates, located in Yountville, has now been in operation nearly 31/2 years. During that
time it has provided a lovely home for some 150 residents, whose golden years are much more pleasant because of it.
At the present time the 80-unit facility houses 82 residents.
Among the most common questions asked when inquiring about living at Adventist Retirement Estates are "What will I do with my time? Won’t I be terribly bored?" Some of our residents tell us they are all too busy. Our bus takes them to St. Helena twice each week and to Napa twice each week. There are periodic all-day trips to Santa Rosa, Concord, Fairfield, and various other shopping mall centers. The Napa Adult Education Service offers many pleasurable hours with courses which include needlecraft, painting, travel, exercise, storytelling, etc. Musical, lecture, and travel programs every Friday and Saturday night make quite a full program.
Napa Valley Adventist Retirement Estates has been a blessing to so many senior Seventh-day Adventists, and the demand for one-bedroom apartments is such that we are expanding. We are at present adding 10 more one-bedroom apartments in the adjacent existing medical building, which are due to open June 1,1984.
So many have commented that here they find such a lovely Christian atmosphere in which to start each day.

One Hundred and One Baptized
Doris and I were driving to the school gym. Both of us had minds racing with events which had taken place in our church over the past two weeks. Nothing like this had ever happened in our nearly 20 years of ministry.
Since the Sabbath evening before, I had baptized 96 people into the Reno Church and five others into two neighboring churches. Now we were on our way to a banquet to welcome these 101 new members and to give thanks to Dick Pollard, the evangelist, and his associate, Randy Brehms.
I looked at my wife and said, “Only four months ago, the church board voted with reluctance to hold a series of meetings in Reno. Do you remember the board felt that neither the church members nor the community would support the meetings?”
It is amazing how many believed that God could not bless a community which is the modern replica of Sodom and Gomorrah. We had hoped that the $25,000 investment would produce 50 baptisms. One of the board members said his faith could see 75.
Sometime during the ride from the church to the gym, I remember, I commented, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” Then, after thinking about what God had done for Reno, I came back with a revision: “No, I believe this is only the beginning of what God is going to do for us.”
At this writing it has been near-
ly a month since that Sabbath when the 101st person was baptized and that afternoon when those 101 people assembled to receive their baptismal certificates, standing along the perimeter of the church and in the center aisle. The “old” members of the church seated in the pews were completely encompassed by their new brothers and sisters in the faith.
As their pastor, I continue to be thrilled; for I see the Holy Spirit continuing to work with every member of our church each week as the “old” members have taken it upon themselves to nurture these new ones. Approximately 150 of these solid members have opened their homes one evening a week for conducting cottage meetings, inviting a number of new members, as well as former members, to join them in making the church the place where all can find friendship and fellowship in Christ.
Plans are now being drawn for church expansion. The finance and building committees are meeting and divising methods and means for an 8,000-square-foot addition to care for the 33 percent increase in membership.
To top all this, the church board recently voted to invite Dick Pollard to return in the fall of 1986. Why not? The people of Reno know what public evangelism will do for their community, and they are supporting it in every way.
Norman Ostrander, Pastor
One hundred and one new members were welcomed into church fellowship at Reno.

News Notes
“WE CAN ARRANGE a financial-aid package that will enable any student who wishes to attend Pacific Union College if that student does his part in completing all the financial-aid forms,” says Byron Scheuneman, director of student finance. A study, recently completed by the financial-aid office, indicates that 761 PUC students are receiving approximately $4.6 million in financial aid this school year. “It’s terrific that we have sufficient funds for this year,” says Mr. Scheuneman, “and we’re anticipating that we will have sufficient funds for next year to meet every student’s estimated financial need.”
FRESHMAN APPLICATIONS to the summer quarter of study at Pacific Union College are the highest that they have ever been, reports the PUC admissions office. Applications are still being accepted for the summer quarter, which begins with registration on June 17 and runs for eight weeks. For further information on summer school, you may call PUC admissions toll free at (800) 862-7080 from within California, and (800) 358-9180 outside of California.
THE PUC NURSING DEPARTMENT has received full accreditation through 1992 for its Second Step four-year nursing degree program. The accreditation was granted by the National League of Nursing. The Second Step program helps nurses to qualify for leadership positions with their increased knowledge of nursing, says Ellen Christian, chairman of the PUC nursing department. A four-year degree from a National League of Nursing accredited school is required for nurses pursuing their master’s degrees.
A FINAL INSTALLATION of over 1,000 pipes, two pedal stops and a fourth manual division with 11 stops has completed the 4,700-pipe Pacific Union College church organ. The installation, completed by workmen from Rieger Orgelbau of Schwarzach, Austria, this month, makes the church organ the largest mechanical-action organ on the West Coast, says Del Case, professor of organ. The completed organ was featured in an April 21 recital by C. Warren Becker, professor of organ at PUC from 1945 to 1958.
THE 4,000-VOLUME REFERENCE COLLECTION at the Pacific Union College Nelson Memorial Library has been reclassified under the Library of Congress (LC) cataloging system. That reclassification is the first complete section of the library to be reorganized in that manner. The conversion to the LC cataloging system reflects a trend among most academic libraries, reports Taylor Ruhl, director of library services.
Students and Faculty Build Tepoca Church
During spring vacation this year, 35 students and faculty headed to Mexico, where they helped build a church.
Similar trips to Mexico have been a tradition at Pacific Union College since 1979, when PUC Church Associate Pastor Bill Smith first coordinated a churchbuilding trip to Mexico. This year, the group from PUC was one of 20 different groups from Northern California involved in building projects.
While in Mexico, the PUC group helped construct a 24-by-40-foot church in the town of Tepoca.
“In order to receive God's help, man must realize his weakness and deficiency; he must apply his own mind to the great change to be wrought in himself; he must be aroused to earnest and persevering prayer and effort. ”—PP, 248.

House of Thrift Provides Needs
It started out with one lady collecting clothes in her garage; now it has grown into Loma Linda’s House of Thrift.
Operated by a volunteer staff with all items in the store donated, the House of Thrift is a project of the Loma Linda University Nursing Alumni Association.
The House of Thrift has been in operation since 1969 in its present building, but the first rummage sale was held over 15 years ago. The project has moved quite a few times since its beginning, but it has had a regular following of people who seem to find it wherever it is.
The House of Thrift is unique in the fact that the money raised is donated to missionary alumni nurses in foreign fields. A questionnaire is sent to the nurses asking what is needed; then money is raised by the House of Thrift. Last year, the House of Thrift helped contribute to $10,000 sent to missionary nurses.
Besides working with missionary nurses, the House of
Mrs. Lena Harrison and Mrs. Nallie Jelks are part of the volunteer team who donate their time to operate the House of Thrift. Proceeds go to help missionary alumni nurses and also local students with financial needs. The House of Thrift is run by the Loma Linda Nursing Alumni Association.

Thrift also gives money to fund scholarships for local nursing students who couldn’t otherwise make it through school. Last year, the House of Thrift helped fund $20,000 for 20 students who had financial needs.
Each of the volunteers at the House of Thrift works on a routine basis, and each volunteer has a specific item to take care of. The only problem that the volunteers at the House of Thrift have is that they need more volunteers!
Donations are collected daily at the* back door of the House of Thrift. In fact, it has accumulated so many things that it really has enough items for two stores; only lack of volunteers makes it impossible.
Each item that comes in must go through a sorting and pricing process. Torn, extremely damaged, or broken items are not worth reselling if they are in bad shape; so even though they are donated they must be thrown away.
