LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90053 )(e 243-4266. 245-2349 September 25, 1969 AN OPEN LETTER To Our Church Members in North America There are so many opportunities just now to expand this radio ministry by taking on more stations, that we have been impressed to call on all our members in North America to support the annual Voice of Prophecy Offering to be taken in all our churches on Sabbath, October 11, and also to become regular monthly sustaining members, so that we may take advantage of what we feel are providential openings. We have a great burden, too, for the tremendous reaping program that should be done in North America. We have been sending this message out over the air waves for 40 years, and millions are now waiting to be gathered in to our fellowship. Requests are coming from conference administrations and from laymen for public evangelistic crusades to harvest the interests created by the broadcast; this is particularly urgent where the Daily Broadcast has been running for two or three years. We need your help to pay the sal- aries of several evangelists who are waiting to come, if we can extend the calls and be assured of financial support for them. To expand the number of radio stations and launch forth into a wider evangelistic outreach, we really will need a large offering on Sabbath, October 11, and then regular monthly support thereafter. If everyone would just send in something, it would be so very reassuring and helpful. There is a third major project, that of developing a Youth Broadcast with a strong follow-up program. We need to do more for the young people of North America. Elder Douglas Pond has been asked to coordinate this work with all haste. Perhaps you are not aware that the Spanish broadcast in the United States is today experiencing its most rapid growth. Large numbers are accepting the message through the Spanish-language broadcast and its Bible School. But much is yet to be done. Now we need the assurance of support from our members to encompass these projects. Do you know that it requires about $10,000 per working day, or $50,000 per week, to carry on the present program? We must increase this substantially to encompass all that needs to be done. May the Lord bless all of you as you earnestly pray about this and respond gener- ously and sacrificially. Would you please write to us about it? We shall look forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much, and may God bless you richly. • i, on it a f1 a 3 11 �',I& � a 111 \ � / Interesting Information from Loma Linda University Newfoundland — Psychologist Says Behaviour Effects Emotions Although much emphasis has been given by professional people to the effect of emotions on behaviour, little if any study has been given to the more im- portant effect of behaviour on emotions, according to a Los Angeles clinical psy- chologist. Speaking to an assembly of Seventh- day Adventist high school teachers and principals last night at Loma Linda Uni- versity, Riverside, California, Dr. Rich- ard Nies declared that a new rationale for mental theory and practise is needed. "Mental illness is, in a medical sense, often a myth," said the doctor. "The ra- tionale used by most psychiatrists today — that unacceptable behaviour is the re- sult of emotional trauma — destroys in the patient the basic elements necessary for him to cope with his problems. To call a person mentally 'sick' and treat him as a 'patient' keeps him from ac- cepting responsibility for helping him- self. He should realize that he must help himself if he is to live effectively." Dr. Nies cited experimental data in the support of his central thesis that while emotions influence behaviour, be- haviour has a profound effect on one's emotional well being. "An increasing amount of research in the last decade," he said, "indicates that Freud got the cart before the horse." Dr. Nies bases his views on doctoral and postdoctoral studies and on his practice in state and private mental institutions. "I would like to suggest an approach for mental health," he added, "that will give primary responsibility to educators rather than to physicians. Instead of telling the 'mentally ill' that they are sick, I think we should tell them they have learned bad behaviour which, in turn, causes emotional disturbance. The prime need of the mentally ill is to be re-edu- cated." ti Educator Says Turmoil Is Teacher Inflicted Teacher trauma resulting from student turmoil may be largely self-inflicted, said Dr. Charles B. Hirsch, world director of Seventh-day Adventist schools, last night in his keynote address to a West Coast convention of Adventist high school teachers at Loma Linda University, Riv- erside, California. "Many administrators and teachers," said Dr. Hirsch, "have themselves planted disruptive ideas in the minds of stu- dents. They now reap the seed they have sown in discontent and anarchy. In the beginning the thought processes may have been initiated to stimulate sluggish stu- dent thinking, but the result has made itself quite evident in today's youth re- bellion." Dr. Hirsch listed other factors that have led to distrust and dissent. He cited dou- ble standards of behaviour among adults, disunity on national issues such as the war in Vietnam, racial disharmony, and widespread breaches of student morality. In discussing solutions br. Hirsch re- jected the "do nothing" approach. "De- featism is no answer," he said. "Neither is the too common 'wet blanket' re- sponse." "We must implant sound values in young minds," he continued. "This is best achieved through one's own quiet strength and integrity — through a per- sonal freedom from bigotry and preju- dice. Teachers need a well-honed sense of curiosity, genuine understanding, the courage to innovate, a sense of humour, and much patience. Teachers should probably emphasize understanding and learning over traditional concepts of classroom discipline and order." Dr. Hirsch called on teachers to main- tain the highest professional, ethical, and spiritual standards in their work. Those who are obedient to the will of God will not have a hard and miserable time in this life. — E. G.

"We had fun, it was worth it, the weather was great", these were a few of the comments from the Moncton Juniors upon their arrival home from Junior Camp.

Not only was there a financial reward in store for their labours but a rich spiritual one as well. The knocking on doors, the placing of physical and spirit- ual literature in the homes, plus a full week of Christian camp gave a develop- ment of the mind that will last for eter- nity. PASTOR K. CORKUM Palmerston Dorcas Society at Work The Palmerston Dorcas Society was organized June 1. Pastor C. F. Peavoy, right, and Miss Martha Budden (in uniform), centre, leader of the Guelph Dorcas Society, helped in the or- ganization. On June 1, 1969, Pastor C. F. Peavoy and Miss Martha Budden, with a few other members of the Guelph Dorcas Society, came to Palmerston to organize a Dorcas Society here. Shortly after this the Palmerston society was called upon to help a family who had just moved to the outskirts of town from the north country. Upon investigation it was learned that nine children, ages two to nine years, were attempting to sleep in only two beds. A neighbour gave them two more beds, but they had no bedding or pillows — only an old coat served as a blanket. The family was also destitute of clothing. The Palmerston Dorcas Society went into action, collecting clothing and bed- ding from neighbours, relatives and friends, as well as a store manager. The ladies were very happy to be able to supply the family with more than 200 pieces of children's clothing, 5 pairs of new flannelette sheets, 5 blankets, 9 pil- lows, 20 pillow slips, 6 dish towels, face cloths, and shoes. Four quilts are in the making, which will be sent when the weather gets cooler. The Dorcas group at Palmerston re- ceives a real blessing in working for others. (MRS.) BERTHA DAVID, Dorcas Leader Palmerston Company CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Christian workers can never attain the highest success until they learn the secret of strength. They must give themselves time to think, to pray, to wait upon God for a renewal of physical, mental, and spiritual power. They need the upbuilding of His Spirit. Receiving this they will be quickened by fresh life. The wearied frame and tired brain will be refreshed, the burdened heart will be rested. — In Heavenly Places, (E. G. WHITE p. 83). The happiest people in the world are those who trust in Jesus and gladly do His bidding. He is the light of life. From the lives of those who follow Him unrest and discontent are banished. — E. G.

COMING TO TORONTO-HAMILTON AREA EVANGELIST GEORGE VANDEMAN Toronto A thanksgiving service marked the of- ficial opening of the newly acquired church home of the West Toronto con- gregation at 10 Harvie Ave. on Sunday, August 24, 1969. Dr. E. E. Cleveland, Associate Secre- tary of the General Conference Minis- terial Association delivered the address to several hundred members and visitors gathered in the 500 capacity church, which was beautifully re-decorated for the occasion. This sanctuary was formerly owned and occupied by the St. David's United Church congregation which revoked its decision to sell to city developers, in or- der to accommodate the Adventists who were in search of a church home. Rep- resenting that congregation on this occa- sion was Mr. Ivor Stewart, a member of the board of trustees, who, in extending greetings on behalf of his church said, "We are very happy that this building could be retained as a church, and es- pecially that you are the ones to have gotten it." Representing the Mayor of Toronto who had planned on being present, was Alderman Hugh Bruce who extended greetings and best wishes on behalf of the city. Also present was Dr. A. S. Markham, pastor of the Methohdist Church which played host to the West Toronto Church from its inception in 1961. Mr. Robert Kennedy, first elder, read the history, which told of the formation of the West Toronto Church in 1961 un- der the presidency of Elder Lowell Bock. From a charter membership of 34, the congregation has since grown to 249. Representing both Union and Local Conferences respectively were Elders J. W. Bothe, C. Klam, P. Moores and S. E. White. Concluding his address, Dr. Cleveland congratulated Pastor R. A. James and his congregation, and challenged them to continued community evangelism. Revival Lectures "Just what we needed!" was the re- mark made by a member of the Wind- sor Church, who heard the revival lec- tures given by Pastor De Witt S. Osgood. The wealth of material on the Holy Spirit and related subjects brought out new ideas to stimulate a deep interest in God's message for the remnant church. Pastor Osgood is an excellent speaker. His teachings are grounded on the Solid Rock, and are filled with sound counsel. A pencil and notebook should be ready to capture impressive thoughts for future study and reference.

The result — one of the visitors decided to become a Seventh-day Ad- ventist and is now attending Sabbath services. During the nineteen days of the Fair, thousands of interested folk from almost every walk of life stopped to say how pleased they were to see our booth again, or to tell us how much they were enjoy- ing our books. The counter sales were encouraging, also hundreds of appoint- ments were set up with those who said they would appreciate seeing our books in their homes. We anticipate a large fa- vourable response in sales to exceed the $8,000 sold last year. Besides the sale of our books and Family Bibles, we gave out many thou- sands of tracts, pamphlets and paper- back books. We certainly appreciated the help from all concerned. All in all it is a very encouraging and profitable way to advertise. Our booth was also shown on an evening news telecast. Good news, don't you think?

Workmen, employed by their father, were informed of the project, and the bottles started coming in by the doz- ens. Every now and then boxes piled with bottles are taken to the village store, and a little more money is added to the Investment fund of two happy, little helpers. The Investment project of Kitty's and Heidi's father, Mr. H. A. Freier, is some- what different. He decided to invest a three-day-old calf, but does not intend to stop there. The calf has now grown considerably and will soon be sold, so that two calves can be purchased with the money gained by selling the first. In this way Brother Freier intends to in- crease his "Investment herd". Glengary Church is small, but we are happy that there is 100% participation in Investment. H.

Dr. Cleveland preached with power and conviction, and when a call was made, fifty-one responded by filling out a card. Twenty-seven indicated a desire to become members of the church, and twenty-four requested further studies, which are being given by the pastor and his assistant, Pastor Roy Adams.

It is hoped that through a mutual understanding between medi- cal, ministers, and laymen, a uthted ef- fort can be put forth in Christian witness.

The Conference is grateful to Mr. Ed Schultz, plumbing contractor of Cal- gary, who made arrangements to get plumbing supplies wholesale and aid in the setting up of the equipment. Long range plans call for a heated swimming pool, new kitchen and dining room complex and lodge. The new wash- room is located south of the main camp now, as this area will be used in the fu- ture for new development.

After the morning meetings, all workers took up the task of building new bathroom and shower facilities. A building 24 feet by 28 feet was con- structed of cement blocks to house the washroom facilities. The washrooms are arranged to complement a swimming pool in the near future.

A camp for underprivileged children was held at the Alberta Youth Camp at Canmore, July 27 to August 1. Forty-one non-Adventist young people, ages 9 to 12 came from all four corners of the province. The first day the campers were a bit apprehensive and not used to the spirit- ual songs, prayer, worship and other as- pects of Adventist camp life. By the sec- ond day or so you could not tell them apart from our own Adventist young people. Luckily the Alberta Emergency Van was on the campground as the majority of the young people did not have warm Delicious meals being prepared by Mrs. Esther Robertson and Mrs. Janny Vlug. Making serving trays was one of the several crafts provided for the young people. The young people enjoyed themselves as they participated in the craft of painting plaques. 352 Blankets being handed out to the young people from the Emergency Van. CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER sleeping gear. One boy slept right on the mattress with only a bed spread to cover him. Sixty blankets were given out to keep the children warm at night. Other children were provided with warm cloth- ing as they had little to wear. Many activities such as crafts, hiking, swimming kept all hands busy. It was interesting to note that on the first night, it was a bit difficult to get the children to sleep. The second night was a little easier and by the third night, they were anxious to crawl into their beds for some sleep. One boy sat at the table the first eve- ning and was not eating much. When asked why he did not eat, he mentioned that he was not used to the food that was before him. He was asked what food he was used to and he mentioned — hot dogs, potato chips and pop. It was in- teresting to notice after a day or two that he was eating well and getting used to three healthful meals a day. The chil- dren were given a lot of good healthful things to eat. They were weighed in as they came to camp and just as they left the camp. The majority gained on the average 3 to 5 pounds in four days. Elder W. Kuester, Lay Activities Di- rector for the Canadian Union was Di- rector for the camp. He shared his ex- periences of camp management with the other leaders of the camp. The camp was financed from Ingathering funds. This year during Ingathering time be sure to let people know of the help their Ingath- ering dollars bring to the unfortunate. A church district rally including the churches of Hanna, Loyalist, Sedgewick and Stettler was held on the front lawn of the Lloyd Patzer home, twenty-five miles northeast of Hanna, Sabbath Aug- ust 2. Approximately 250 members were Stettler District Rally present on the beautiful day to fellow- ship and worship together. The Sabbath School programme was directed by Elder Herb Larsen and the church hour sermon was given by Elder A. W. Kaytor, Conference President. The afternoon programme consisted of a bap- tism which was held in a nearby lake. Elder Elmer Littman, district pastor, baptized fifteen people.

They were members of another church but something seemed to be missing. One day Mrs. Fabrick de- cided to enrol in the Voice of Prophecy correspondence course. She finished the course but still did not join the Seventh- day Adventist Church. Pastor Harold Reimche of the New Manitoba — Saskatchewan Gather the Inhabitants Into The House of the Lord JOHN W. POPOWICH Conference Evangelist Special trio: Deborah Blender, Betty Nischuk, Sandra Blender. What an inspiration it was to be back for one week with the members of the Endeavour Church. Each night for seven nights, during the busiest time of the year for farming people, the work was laid aside as fam- ilies made their way to the beautiful little church on the hill. Night by night as the people came out they were made to see the seriousness of the days in which we live, and that God does have a way out for those who are brave enough to take it. "Christ, who gave all, in order to save all, expects all there is of us. Nothing less will do," stated Pastor Popowich. SEVENTH•DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH Baptismal candidates: Front row: Betty Nis- chuk, Deborah Blender, Mervin Blender, Guy Andrews; Back row: Pastor and Mrs. Popowich, Miss Lorna Tkachuk, Pastor and Mrs. Jamieson. British Columbia Music to inspire: Leighton Nischuk, trumpet; Lorna Tkachuk, accordian; Roland Nischuk, Bass; Lorne Nischuk, trombone. The week was highlighted with the talents of Miss Lorna Tkachuk, who was responsible for the inspirational music for the series. The week was climaxed on the Sab- bath, as Pastor Jamieson welcomed the members and visitors to unite together in worshipping their God. Extra benches had to be located in order to provide seating for the overflow members who came to the service. Following the service four candidates were baptized in Nelson Lake. During the altar call on Friday evening they testified their decision to follow Jesus all the way. I Voice of Prophecy Converts Westminster Seventh-day Adventist Church started visiting this family regu- larly. Then in May of this year Pastor C. Dale Brusett held meetings in New Westminster and this fine couple attended faithfully. The Fabricks were just finish- ing building their new home doing most of the work themselves and this is where I first visited them with the pastor. When the first altar call was made dur- ing the meetings this fine couple was with some of the first to respond. They were baptized on May 17 in the New West- minster Church by Pastor Harold Reimche. As Camp Meeting rolled around at Hope familiar faces were those of Earl and Ruth Fabrick. When H. M. S. Rich- ards Jr. of the Voice of Prophecy spoke at the evening meeting the Fabricks wanted to shake his hand and thank him for his radio programme which played such a wonderful part in influencing them to join the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Conference 354 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Evangelistic Rally Held in Penticton Pastor Gordon Dalrymple A Faith for Today Evangelistic Rally was held in Penticton August 22 and 23 with Pastor Gordon Dalrymple. Pastor Nick Trynchuk of Penticton was in charge of the organization of the pro- gramme. Pastor Dalrymple spent a day in Pen- ticton to locate a suitable auditorium for evangelistic meetings early in 1970. He will hold a three-week series of evan- gelistic meetings in Penticton. Faith for Today has been telecast in the Okanagan Valley for several years. It is hoped to reap a good harvest from the television seed-sowing ministry. Friday evening, at the Evangelistic Rally, Pastor Dalrymple showed a Faith for Today film on the work of Pastor Scoffield in South America with his Medi- cal Launch, Lunar II. Pastor Scoffield built it. Pastor Dalrymple then gave the people a tour of the Faith for Today headquarters by means of coloured slides. The evening closed with another Faith for today musical film featuring the Faith for Today and Voice of Prophecy quartets. Sabbath morning the members of the Oliver Church came to Penticton for the day as well as many from Winfield, Ke- lowna, and Rutland. Over 400 were present for Sabbath and worship. Pastor Dalrymple spoke on "Christian Perfec- tion" at Sabbath worship. In the after- noon he spoke on the ecumenical move- ments in the world today. He pointed out how these movements are a fulfilment of Bible prophecy. A half-hour musical programme preceded his message, and following the message a panel discussed "lay evangelism." It is important that the whole church work in preparation for and during an evangelistic crusade. The full day was concluded with a nature film, "The African Lion." Evangelism is moving ahead in Brit- ish Columbia. Pastor A. N. How, British Columbia Conference President gave a report of soul-winning in B.C. He told the congregation that 270 have already been baptized this year in B.C. For the future he informed us that Conference Evangelist C. Dale Brusett will begin a series in Vancouver September 12, and Several churches in the British Colum- bia Conference are welcoming new pas- tors to their pulpits. As the result of El- der J. A. Mustard accepting a call to the Maritime Conference a vacancy oc- curred in Victoria and Duncan. Elder H. E. Reimche moved from thb West- minster Church to fill this vacancy. Elder Arthur M. Spenst was called from Prince George to the Westminster pulpit and Pastor Bob Burton, returning from An- drews University accepted the responsi- bility of the Prince George, Lamming Mills, Vanderhoof, Burns Lake district. Two new districts were created at the same time. Elder E. L. Stewart was asked to move from Vancouver Island to Kam- loops, the headquarters of new District 17, with responsibility for an area from Merritt south, Cache Creek west, Celesta east and north on the Blue River Road. A./ Pastor Howard Homenchuk moved from Vancouver to lead the Revelstoke- Golden District, extending from Sica- mous to the Alberta boundary. Elder Ted Andrews moved to Central Vancouver Island but has been granted six months leave of absence. No one has been appointed to this vacancy but Elder L. Astleford, retired, is assisting in that district temporarily. To fill the vacancy in Vancouver Elder J. C. Reynolds was called from the Col- lege Park Church in Oshawa. ti Mrs. Gladys Mason, Bible Worker lo- cated at Kamloops, has moved to the Rutland-Kelowna District to assist Elder W. W. Rogers. It is the sincere prayer of the Con- ference Committee that the Lord will bless these new associations. Pastor Keith Dearing begins in Langley at the same time. In November Pastor Brusett goes to Vernon and Pastor Bob Tetz begins in Williams Lake. May God bless every activity in soul winning in British Columbia and in all the world. L. R.

HOW, President, B.C. Conference VOL. 38, No. 18, SEPTEMBER 22, 1969 � 355 A Pioneer Family Reunion From August 1 to 3 twenty-five re- lated families of the Seventh-day Ad- ventist community in the Kelowna district including Rutland, Winfield, Armstrong and Vernon extended weekend hospitality to many visitors who converged on the Delmer Reiswig home base for a family reunion. It was a gathering called to commemorate the lives of the original forebears, Julius and Christine Frolke, who at the turn of this century through the medium of a book called Bible Read- ings left their traditional church to found a community of Sabbath-keeping Ad- ventists. Today in this same Inglis-Russell area in Manitoba stands a new Seventh- day Adventist Church attended by mem- bers of family descendants (more than a dozen of whom travelled to British Col- umbia for this reunion). The Seventh-day Adventist church at Winfield, where many heart-warming greetings were exchanged, was crowded for Friday evening vespers, led by Dr. Ewald Bower of Glendale, California, the chairman of the reunion event. Dr. Bower in the 1930's taught in the Van- couver Academy and Oshawa Missionary College before entering the medical field. To accommodate the Sabbath morning attendance, the Winfield Community Hall was secured. There about 300 church members and guests gathered for a stimulating Sabbath School service con- ducted by Mrs. Delmer Reiswig of Win- field, assisted by Dr. John Neufeld of Loma Linda University School of Den- tistry, and his brother Wilfred of the Armstrong Church, who exchanged mis- sions experiences among Indians of coast- al British Columbia and Monument Val- ley in Navajoland, Utah. Mrs. George Bower of Redding, California, conducted the senior division lesson study. Mrs. Otto Gertz and Mrs. Lawrence Toftner of Winfield, Mrs. Ewald Bower, and Mrs. Olof Moline of Denver kept the interest of sixty children. Leading out in the church service, Lawrence Toftner introduced a veteran minister from Southern California, Elder 0. J. Ziprick, who for many years preached in German communities in the prairie provinces and from 1930 to 1936 was president of the Manitoba-Saskatch- ewan Conference. Elder Ziprick's sermon, "Heritage and Inheritance", through cit- ing some ancestral experiences placed family relationships in the context of the spiritual history of the human race and God's plan for the ransomed of the Lord who will enter Zion with songs of ever- lasting joy. A large family choir, led by Dr. George Bower of Redding, California, resoundingly sang of that entry into "The City Four Square." Music was foremost in all meetings, for the whole clan from old to young have a tuneful gift and love to sing. Typical were: the postlude music sung in rich harmony by the seven sisters from the Adolph Ziprick branch, "Lord make me more holy, until we meet again"; the resonant baritone solos of Byron Liske, whose family (Oscar Liske) once attended the Winnipeg Church before moving to Portland, Ore- gon; the trios of Elder Ziprick's daugh- ters; the contralto singing of recording artist Alfreda Peacock; and the teen-agers of Ewald Bower's family who with guitar accompaniment sang harmonious folk music. Others performed spontaneously in a Home Talent programme following Sabbath eve vespers led by Dr. John Neufeld. Ample and delicious potluck meals were served under the direction of Mrs. Fred Liske and her helpers from the Liske, Bauer, Woodkey, Frolke, and Zip- rick-Reiswig branches of the clan. Op- portunities for visiting, though too brief, were refreshing to the human spirit. It was on Sunday morning, before a re- laxing picnic beside Wood Lake ended the celebration, that after picture-taking a major meeting took place. With a back- ground display of family memorabilia under the direction of Alice Bower of San Gabriel, California (once a teacher at Canadian Union College), the relatives sat down to a session of reminiscences. Endearing anecdotes were related by numbers of twigs of the family tree, the grandchildren who remembered the stal- wart admonitions of their devout Grand- father Frolke and the loving acts of their gentle grandmother, both taking respon- sibility in helping the young parents bring up their children in the fear of the Lord. Today well over half of the descendants are Seventh-day Adventists. Much appreciated by all was a large sketch of the Family Tree prepared by artist Margaret Ziprick-Neufeld of Loma Linda, identifying everyone of the 410 descendants by labelled branch, twig and leaf into the sixth generation. Study re- vealed that the Maria Ziprick branch (1872-1948) is the most fruitful with 112 descendants (3 *deceased). The yield for other branches is: Amalie Liske (1865- 1927) — 73 (*6), Julie Burgemeister (1866-1904) — 60 *(14), Wilhelmine Bower (1868-1958) — 43 (*5), Kristine Woodkey (1869-1958) — 39 (*3), Gustav Frolke (1874-1955) — 45 (*2), Lidia Hartung (1876-1958) — 22 (*4), Natalie Ziprick (1883-1967) — 16 (*2). Representatives of these branches have scattered across the land, numbers of them assuming positions of leadership in the remnant church and in occupations of service. Of the "branches" generation of the Frolke Family Tree rising from the "roots" (begun in 1845), two spouses are still living: Elder Oscar J. Ziprick of Loma Linda and Mrs. Gustav Frolke of Armstrong, seated in front of the "Tree" surrounded by 28 of the 37 "twigs" present (from a possible 43 living.) These grandchildren paid appreciative tribute to the virtues and values learned from their devout grandparents during childhood years. The number of actual relatives present at the reunion was 66 children, 35 teen-age youth, 88 descendant adults, who with 71 spouses made a total of 260. 356 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Better Livin an.0,1,1 �-141 e :13 f REE ILI—A Ok Tia Ag L TtIP tLIURI People crowding into the Adventist Church Narcotics display at the Kelowna Regatta.

A slide projector with a taped commen- tary was run almost continuously on such subjects as smoking, glue sniffing, etc. On the hour a movie on LSD was shown. Smoking Sam of course was a valuable asset in showing the actual accumulation of tobacco tars. There was a twice-a-day book draw. On the request slips enough people asked for various kinds of help to keep one person busy for several months following them up. A large quantity of literature was re- quested. In fact all we had both from the department of health and our church publishing houses was given away. Cur- rent religious literature was also much sought after. The display was captioned "Better Liv- ing" and was conceived by the lay activ- ities people and operated by the young people from the district churches. All feel that it was a very worthwhile project. Plans are being made to make it an even greater witness next year. This was the largest display the church ever had in the Regatta. The LSD film was shown 60 times, and a series of slides with commentary about 150 times. At left is Mrs. B. J.

The Five-day Plan will be held in the Oakridge Auditorium beginning Septem- ber 7. Over 11,000 people stopped at the Adventist Church booth and more than 19,000 pieces of literature were given away. A Record-O-Phone was installed at the Vancouver Church for the Five-day Plan. The machine is very busy since an advertisement went into the newspaper.

Conference Teen Girl Tallies for God Fourteen-year-old Sharon Joy Lambert brushed aside her dark brown curls as she smilingly welcomed us to the Surge Narrows Sabbath School on August 16, 1969. She extended special greetings to our friends from the Northern Light, Pastor and Mrs. Clyde Gildersleeve and son Darby who were paying our isolated church members a welcome visit. Sharon is one of the church's busiest teen-agers. Though baptized just last Feb- ruary, this shy, unassuming but co-oper- ative young lady has always been an active participant in our church activ- ities ever since she first climbed on a stool to give the Sabbath School sec- retary's report at the age of eight. She held this post faithfully for six years. At present, Sharon is our inspirational Sab- bath School superintendent and Kinder- garten teacher. She teaches her two small brothers plus visiting children. At the 357 Pacific National Exhibition — ALBERTA — ABSTAINERS AUTO INSURANCE COSTS LESS!

Now her talent in this area is often put to use. Always willing and cheerful, Sharon pitches in to do more than her share. Her unselfish example has aroused some of us excuse-finding-older-Christians to take hold of the tasks we are asked to do in order to keep the Sabbath School active and growing. For the past three and one-half years, Sharon has taken half of grade seven and all of grades eight, nine, and ten from the government correspondence school in Victoria, B.C. She has finished each grade with some of the top honours. Sharon plans to continue her educa- tion this September by attending Auburn Academy in Washington State. She will be taking grade eleven as she prepares to become a Christian teacher. May God continue to bless Sharon as she uses her talents in Christian service.

The 1968-69 school year was a good one for Canadian Union College in every way. Spiritual Phase The primary purpose for operating a school such as Cana- dian Union College is to provide a Christian education for the youth of Western Canada. To help achieve this goal, great em- phasis is placed on the spiritual phase of school life. The re- sults of such emphasis was particularly evident during our past school year. The number of baptisms showed a marked increase as a result of the religious activities sponsored by the various student and faculty committees. Educational Phase The semester system which was employed in the high school for the first time proved to be popular with most students and staff. Some adjustments were required but the overall reaction was essentially favourable. With one year's experience in hand, we look for even better results with this system during the 1969-70 school year. Student Labour Canadian Union College continues to supply a large amount of income on student expenses throughout its various industries and departments. During the 1968-69 school year at least $230,000 was credited to student expenses from all sources. Of this total the furniture factory contributed at least $100,000. Other industries made significant contributions toward the total student labour programme. It could be mentioned that the college press doubled its student labour contribution during 1968-69 as compared to the previous school year. Financial Status of School A statement should be made regarding the general financial status of Canadian Union College. Our patrons and friends have given generously in an effort to help Canadian Union College regain financial stability. We want you to know that your efforts are bringing results. When we launched our drive to restore Canadian Union Col- lege to a solvent position, there was a sum of $446,000 that could be classified as unfunded liabilities. These unfunded liabil- ities were obligations that could not be met from current in- come. They were made up of bank loans, personal loans, short- ages of working capital, and other miscellaneous debts that had accumulated over the years. Our current income was able only to help us meet our normal operating expenses. This situation made it imperative that a very special effort be made to raise $446,000 and thus liquidate these unfunded liabilities. As a result of your support and other measures such as strictly controlled expenditures and improved efficiency in our industries, more than one-half of the $446,000 goal has been reclaimed. As of June 30, 1969, some $235,000 has been raised. This gain has made it possible to reduce our loan at the bank from $100,000 to $40,000. Personal loans of $50,000 have been repaid and our working capital has gone from a minus quantity to 46% of the authorized figure. These advances have demon- strated to us the fact that Canadian Union College is the Lord's institution. His guiding hand is seen at every turn of the road. We solicit the prayers of our patrons and friends that the task of recovery will be completed soon. P. G. MILLER, President Canadian Union College Rainbow Riding Club The Rainbow Riding Club rides again as they begin a new season. This club, under the leadership of Mr. Roy Bowett, was started eight years ago upon the suggestion and help of Elder P. Moores and has been functioning ever since. In spite of the fact that their time is limited and they some- times have difficulties meeting expenses the organization has survived. Others who live near the college and own their own horses sometimes add numbers and enthusiasm. Last Minute News on Enrolment As of September 5, the high school enrolment figure is 260. That is about 40 more than at the same time last year. After college registration on September 22, the total figure will be available ansl will be published along with information concerning the new faculty and staff members.
