J. Folkenberg "There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews" (John 3:1). In addition to his wealth and education, Israel had honored Nico- demus by member- ship in its national council. At the height of his career, Israel was suddenly aroused by a strange wilder- ness preacher. Dressed in camel skins he preached with a peculiar pow- er denouncing the sins of both great and small alike. Shortly afterward he disappeared into the dungeons of Herod. After a period of lonely solitude he was executed by the headsman's ax at the height of a drunken feast. John the Baptist was executed because of his insistence in rebuking sin wherever he found it, even thought it was found in the king's palace. Not long after this, Nicodemus witnessed an additional phenomena. Out of wretched Nazareth arose a peasant carpenter who began to stir the nation with His teachings. The lessons He taught were simple and powerful. His miracles literally stag- gered the imagination. His courage in rebuking national sin filled many with admiration. It certainly took courage to form a scourge of cords and drive from the sacred temple both money-chang- ers, priests, and sacrificial animals sending them in one wild headlong dash from those sacred precincts. Such events as these deeply impressed the rich and influential Nicodemus. Nat- urally his honest mind was aroused to launch into a deep search of the an- cient prophecies concerning the Mes- siah, only to discover that the activities of this obscure Nazarene indeed ful- filled many of those very prophecies. His own eyes witnessed the poor and downtrodden flocking to the young teacher. His own eyes beheld cripples now healed and leaping for joy. His own ears heard rapturous praise as Satan's victims were freed from the bondage of sin. Had not the prophets predicted the Messiah would do these very things? Hence, the more he saw and heard, the more he desired an in- terview with Jesus, but this caused a variety of problems. First, it was a dangerous thing to do in view of the animosity of his fellow national leaders toward the lowly Galilean. Secondly, it would be most humiliating should Nicodemus be discovered interviewing this poor unknown. Poor unknown? Ah, the Prince of Glory was unknown only on this little deranged planet. God's entire limitless universe knew and adored His every word and deed. Only here on this earth was He an un- known. At this point in the mind of Nicodemus there occurred an inevitable clash—a clash between his own desires to interview Jesus and his personal fears. There arose those old and devil- ish questions, "What will people think? Or what will they say? What will happen to my position?" The devil has never from that day to this ceased using these very questions to prevent people from doing what they know to be right. This very struggle has plagued the fol- lowers of truth in every age of history. But the real question is, "What will God say?" And so one day Nicodemus decided upon a secret interview with Jesus. Now regardless of how he de- cided to interview Jesus, the main thing is that he decided to seek for himself the truth of this matter. So many people refuse to discover religious facts for themselves, but are content only to take the advice of their friends. When some- one tells them, "Adventists are an un- Christian cult, so you had better stay away from them," they often stay away! Hence, they allow others to do their thinking, and make their decisions. It will some day be seen that they allowed others to keep them out of heaven! But this was not so in Nicodemus' case. In spite of the ugly rumors, the official condemnation of this young teacher, the hatred of religious leaders, Nico- demus chose to see for himself. So it was he determined to visit Jesus during the hours of darkness, but it was not always easy to locate the young teach- er at night. And why was this? Because spies and enemies were constantly on His trail. After strenuous hours of healing and teaching all day, night- time would find Him exhausted, and forced to find refuge amid the shelter- ing woods. Can you imagine earth's Creator without a home address, with- out a peasant's hut, without even His own bed? His bedroom was often a sheltering cove of trees. His bed was often the damp ground which many times received His tears as He prayed all night for this race of wretched human beings. "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." I have often tried to envision that night when the city of Jerusalem was hushed in slumber with windows dark- ened. Down those deserted streets could The Truth About Rebirth Part I By E. J.

Suddenly by means of a single thrust of truth, Jesus laid bare the heart of Nicodemus. As Christ's words hit him with compelling power, he suddenly saw himself in the presence of a holy stranger; but he saw more than that. For the first time he truly began to see himself as desperately in need of a total spiritual regeneration.

Signature sheets are being presented to Seventh-day Adventists throughout the world field. The sheets are now be- ing circulated in the Atlantic Union. When these are all brought together, they will make up the largest single scroll of pledges signed for total absti- nence ever to be gathered in one place. The signature sheets have been pre- pared and are being mailed into every division throughout the world field. When these signature sheets are com- pleted and every church member has signed his name, or made his mark, they are to be returned in time for the 1962 Session of the General Confer- ence. Since San Francisco is a city with one of the largest percentages of alcoholism in North America, it is fitting to fea- ture this huge scroll at the time of the General Conference Session. Every un- ion in North America has responded, and the signature sheets should be at your church soon.

Faith for Today Faith for Today Quartet Experiences Personnel Change Faith for Today's Quartet experi- ences a change in personnel with the departure of Walter Isensee, second tenor for the foursome after eleven years of service. To fill the vacancy the Faith for Today board called Larry Fillingham a graduate of Andrews University and a native of Aledo, Illi- nois. Isensee, who appeared on the first telecast of May, 1950, will return to Westminster Choir College of Prince- ton University to complete work for the bachelor of music education degree in preparation for teaching on the sec- ondary level. Some impressive records resulted from the eleven years of sing- ing with the telecast foursome. Annual camp-meeting tours plus other special engagements involved distances in ac- cess of 225,000 miles or nine global round trips. The camp-meeting pro- grams by the Faith for Today telecast team has been an inspiration to audi- ences numbering over one million. This is in addition to the unestimable multimillion audience resulting from over 600 telecast presentations during the eleven years to as high as 180 TV Doctors' Retreat at Camp Winnekeag The doctors' retreat at Camp Winnekeag which was held August :17-20, was a real success.

Church Development Service Directors' Meeting Sixteen Church Development Serv- ice directors from union and local con- ferences in the North American Divi- sion met in Denver, July 11-19, for their first division council. Under the direction of William J. Hubert, General Conference director of this service, over ten million dollars has been pledged and raised during the short two-year period this depart- ment has been in existence. This is even more remarkable when it is con- sidered that in many conferences this service is less than six months old. R. H. Adair, assistant treasurer of the General Conference, attended the meetings in an advisory capacity. The meeting was called to lay plans for greater activity in the future, to standardize procedures, and to discuss mutual problems. The many testimonies of the sacri- fice of our brethren in forwarding the work of God testifies to the outpouring of the Lord's Spirit in these critical, closing times. M. E.

Elder Bradford recently accepted the call as president to the Lake Region Confer- ence. This farewell was one of mixed emo- tions for they have made a tremendous contribution to the advancement of the Northeastern Conference. Elder Brad- ford has been pastor of City Tabernacle since October 1959 and has done an excellent job as pastor-evangelist. Be- fore the Bradfords came to the North- eastern Conference in April 1957, they were connected with the Central States Conference where they labored for some time. Elder Bradford first served as sec- retary of the Home Missionary and Sabbath School departments. He also took the leadership in the lay-evange- listic activities and set aflame the evan- gelistic fire among the laymen in giv- ing Bible studies and engaging in other soul-winning activities. He also led out in public evangelism conducting the first tent effort in 1957 since Elder Bland held the last meeting in 1945. Teaming up with R. T. Wilson, pastor of the Buffalo church, he held a city- wide effort in Buffalo in 1958 and with the blessings of heaven this effort brought in ninety-nine precious souls. Again in 1960 he was out in another successful effort in upper Manhattan and eighty-two additional persons were baptized. Ingathering was a "specialty" of Elder Bradford. In just five weeks his well-organized City Tabernacle raised over $7,000. In fact wherever the need arose Elder Bradford was there. We say "goodbye" to the Bradfords and wish them Godspeed and abund- ant success in the heavy responsibilities they are about to take up in their new field. We shall keenly miss them for they have been a most friendly and warm family. �F. L.

It is a proven fact that when we are faithful stewards, God will bless. If more of us would be more faithful in our tithe here in Northern New Eng- land, we would be able to add several new ministers to relieve those who are carrying many churches in their dis- tricts.

As you think of the giving of the gospel to all the world, do you ever think of it as an impossible task? Ac- tually, it is an impossible task if we were to accomplish this work in our own strength.

In these last days God will fur- nish the power of the Holy Spirit and the ways and means to accomplish the finishing of His work on the earth if we will faithfully claim His promises. At present radio and television are being used to reach into the homes of millions who might not hear the last warning message in any other way. With the extensive research being car- ried on by our scientists the day may not be far distant when the "good news" will be bounced off satellites which will reflect these messages to every corner of the earth. How fortunate we are to have the Voice of Prophecy program which is reaching into many dark corners that would not be reached in any other way. Just after World War II, I was the district pastor in a rural area of one of our mid-western states. I saw then how the Voice of Prophecy reached back into the homes that were long distances from the traveled roads and highways. I found people who were keeping the Sabbath even though they did not know Seventh-day Adventists existed. I visited many homes where the occu- pants considered the Voice of Prophecy their church and Elder Richards their pastor. Since the opening of the Voice of Prophecy Bible Correspondence School in 1942 nearly 15 million persons have applied for lessons in the various cor- respondence schools we conduct around the world. As a result a great number have found Christ as their personal Saviour and well over one hundred thousand are recorded as members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church through baptism. On October 14 we will have another opportunity to give so that the radio broadcasts of the Voice of Prophecy and the Bible correspondence schools may be continued and their coverage increased. The goal for this offering is $275,000. If every member will give what they gave last year plus a little more we shall reach this goal which is needed des- perately. � S. A. YAKUSH Radio-TV Secretary ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER Opening of Cedar Brook School It was a thrilling experience to wit- ness the opening of our new Cedar Brook School in Rehoboth, Massachu- setts, on Wednesday, September 20. One hundred forty-four students from the area of Taunton, Providence, Paw- tucket, Attleboro, Middleboro, and New Bedford were in attendance. Two brand new Thompson buses brought students from Middleboro, Taunton, Attleboro, and Pawtucket, with a third bus soon to be in operation from the Providence area. The new $68,000 building which represents the first phase of their building program in- cludes five classrooms, a library, prin- cipal's office, storage room, and secre- tary's office. The principal, Herbert Brendel, heads a staff of six teachers which includes Mrs. Effie Jennings, grades 1 and 2; Mrs. Beverly Costa, grades 3 and 4; Sherman Holdridge, grades 5 and 6; with other classes be- ing divided between Mrs. Joyce Curtis, Miss Margaret Edmister, Mrs. Mary McKay, and Principal Brendel. Willis Graves, pastor of the Taunton church, is serving as chairman of the newly formed school board. Elder Graves has indicated that church mem- bers from all of the churches involved have been most faithful in helping toward the completion of the building. The tile floors, painting, and numer- ous miscellaneous jobs have been done by this volunteer labor. Elder Graves further stated that the total cost of the land, digging of the well, and the equipment purchased will be approxi- mately $92,000. The unusual part of this project is that it was started just a few weeks after school closed in May and the school was ready for operation in less than three months. A brief opening-day assembly was in charge of the principal who in turn presented to the student body the school board chairman, Willis Graves, who was followed by Floyd Hilliard, pastor of the Attleboro-Pawtucket churches, and George Coffen, pastor of the Providence church. The Southern New England Con- ference Department of Education ex- tends its hearty congratulations to the farsighted members of these districts who are sacrificing and working for the establishment of this consolidated school. We congratulate the principal and school board chairman for their vision and their untiring labor in its behalf. We are especially proud of the work of the architect and builder, John Latimer and Gabriel Machado respec- tively. When the landscaping and building have been completed this will be one of the most functional and at- tractive schools to be found anywhere in our ranks. WAYNE P.

REYN&LDS, President Telephone Chien EMpire 5-4561 South Lancaster � Massachusetts CollegeEnroit‘Iment Increases The college enoollment this year is 10 per tent higker than last school year, making thi. the largest increase in one year in thhistory of the school. In 1951 Atlantic Union College had only 314 students registered; today there are 536 students registered thus far for the currert school year. This is an increase in hnrollment of 70 per cent over the last) ten years. Atlantic Unio4 College is growing. The constant pssure caused by in- creased enrollment has made expansion vital. When founded in 1882 it was just a small scht ol; today it is an up- to-date college Incorporating modern techniques ancLeguipment. It has al- ways been the aim of AUC to offer the best possible education to our Adventist youth, and the: college has taken tre- mendous strict, s toward this goal. Changing times and ever rising scho- lastic standards have necessitated this constant growth and expansion. In re- cent years Hcskell Hall, Machlan Auditorium, and the library were con- structed. More `event has been the con- struction of the new home economics and science bu3ding. In 1958 the men of the college moved into Lenheim Hall, a modem two-wing dormitory. Last year a speech and language labo- ratory was ins,alled to further aid stu- dents studying in these areas. Atlantic Union College has not stood still scholastiiilly either. Under the able leadership of Dr. R. E. Cleveland, academic death, the scholastic program has taken great strides. The core cur- riculum for o B.A. or a B.S. degree has been increased. Not only this, but the college is offering a wider selection of majors. Site 1953, French, Spanish, physics, social science, social welfare, and speech majors have been added to the list of B.j . degrees. Two new B.S. majors, engiceering physics and secre- tarial science, are now offered. New minors are piblical languages, philos- ophy, physical education, psychology and measurelaents, Russian, and speech. These additihns have greatly broadened AUC's fielcb.of service. The greaily increased number of students registered means that classes that had twenty or thirty students now have fifty osixty. Chant Hall and the bindery dormitory are being used to house the overflow of girls. Preston Hall, built to hold 119 girls, has 160 residents. The area most affected by this in- crease in the student body is the cafe- teria. Not only are there more college students, but the cafeteria also must accommodate 160 academy dormitory students who are attending South Lan- caster Academy. Even though conditions are crowded in some areas, the spirit of the student body and faculty is tremendous. Each appreciates so much the wonderful Christian leadership of President R. L. Reynolds. Under his capable leadership there has •arisen a bond of unity be- tween students and faculty that can be felt throughout the whole campus. AUC must continue to expand if it is going to serve our college youth. It must continue to grow to be able to fulfill the demands placed upon it. AUC needs your help and your prayers. D. G. PRIOR Director of Public Relations Evangelism in Cortland New York By G. E. CARTER On February 17, 1961, the Cortland church began a program of mailing literature to friends and neighbors in the city and county of Cortland. The literature used was the "It Is Written" series of twenty-seven tracts, two tracts were sent out each week to about 400 families, the medical group sending out 240 of these each week, and the church members sending out 160. Many responded most favorably and deeply appreciated the literature sent. On May 13, a series of evangelistic meetings began in the Cortland church conducted by S. L. Folkenberg and Sunny Liu. There was a double session on the opening night, and both sessions were well attended. The meetings con- tinued five nights a week for two weeks, and the interest and attendance were excellent so it was decided to continue for two more weeks on week ends only, making a total of sixteen meetings in all. When the call was made, practically all present came for- ward, many for the first time. There are those already keeping the Sabbath and attending the Sabbath services. A little gift shop on Highway 13 south of town now carries a "Closed" sign each Sabbath. The audience greatly appreciated the beautiful singing of Sunny Liu and the dynamic messages of Elder Folkenberg. The use of pictures and colorama has added greatly to the clarity and effec- tiveness of the messages. The first fruits of the meetings were beheld at a baptism on June 17. We are studying with many more who are preparing for baptism at a later date. The Cortland church has received many blessings from these meetings for which we say, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."
