INSPIRATION SR4S_
"The spasmodic, fitful movements of some who claim to be Christians are well represented by the work of strong but untrained horses. When one pulls forward, another pulls back, and at the voice of their master one plunges ahead and the other stands immovable. If men will not move in concert in the great and grand work for this time, there will be confusion. It is not a good sign when men refuse to unite with their brethren and prefer to act alone. Let laborers take into their confidence the brethren who are free to point out every departure from right principles. If men wear the yoke of Christ, they can not pull apart; they will draw with Christ."

"You Are What You Eat"
Take a personal inventory of your diet. Are you eating the right food at the right time, prepared in the right way? You should learn the answers in 1977.
“You are what you eat” is a familiar maxim to most of us. Ellen White expresses the same idea more specifically: “Fruits, grains, and vegetables . . . make, with milk or cream, the most healthful diet. They impart nourishment to the body, and give a power of endurance and a vigor of intellect that are not produced by a stimulating diet.” (Counsels on Diet and Foods, 92)
So that the importance of diet can be better understood, the Church has designated 1977 as Nutrition Year.

Sustentation Overseas Service
“Different, and yet not different” is the way Robert Woods, PhD, describes his year of teaching mathematics and physics in Jamaica.
He and his wife, Lois, were called from their home in Angwin, California, to serve at West Indies College during the 1975-76 school year. The call came through Sustentation Overseas Service, a General Conference program which makes use of retired but still valuable workers.
With the exception of two years as a professor at Harvard University during World War II, Woods spent 50 years working in the Seventh-day Adventist educational system.
He was academic dean (1946) and later president (1950) of Union College, and was a research biophysics at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. He retired in 1970 after teaching physics at Pacific Union College for six years, both full and part time.
FFT Gets New Time in Los Angeles Area
Beginning December 26, Faith for Today will be seen in the Los Angeles area on Sundays, at noon, KCOP Channel 13.
Faith for Today may also be seen on KHOF Channel 30, Friday evenings at 6, and Saturdays at 5 p.m.
Retired Couple Tells of Service in Jamaica
His retirement was interrupted in September, 1975 when he was called to teach at West Indies College, Mandeville, Jamaica.
The Woodses settled down in a house about three miles from the school. The college provided transportation to and from school. Shopping was accomplished on Fridays when they rode to town with Dr. Ed Hoehn, a retired physician, also from Angwin, who also served the past five years in Jamaica.

It Is Written Will Hold Open House
Have you wished you could have the opportunity to visit with George Vandeman in the familiar setting of his television studio library? Have you ever wished you could actually see how programs such as It Is Written are made? Would you like an opportunity to meet and talk with the It Is Written staff, musicians, and support personnel?
All this and more will be available as It Is Written opens the doors of its new facilities to the public for the first time Sunday, January 23, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
“We just want to celebrate what the Lord has done for It Is Written,” says Elder Vandeman, “and, of course, the best way to do that is to have all of our friends who are able join us on this occasion.”
It Is Written, now in up-to-date and technically complete facilities located in southern California’s Conejo Valley, is in Thousand Oaks, just 40 miles west of Los Angeles on Highway 101. The now complete office and television studio complex at 1100 Rancho Conejo Boulevard was designed and built solely for television and radio broadcasting, with a com-

dents and staff. “I appreciated and admired L. Herbert Fletcher, the president of the college. I found him a very consecrated Christian.”
Sabbaths found students streaming out from the college to teach and study with other Adventist congregations on the island. According to Woods, there are approximately 350 Seventh-day Adventist churches on the island. Some are large city churches, but most are small rural congregations.
Mission service once again reminded the Woodses that luxuries Americans sometimes mistake for necessities aren’t really needed. “We were comfortable, but found you can get along with a lot less than you think you can.”
Retired workers who are interested in finding out more about the SOS program should write: Mission Board, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, 6840 Eastern Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20012.

These buildings will house three gospel outreaches closely related to It Is Written: Faith for Today, Breath of Life and the radio broadcast, The Voice of Prophecy.

der Vandeman shares the story of It Is Written’s 20 years of gospel telecasting. Begun in 1956 with 13 programs for black and white television in Washington, D.C., It Is Written has blossomed into one of the toprated religious television shows in America.
Tours of the facilities will give visitors a close-up view of the complete concept of It Is Written from start to finish.
Another high light of the tour, the printing department, is continually working to meet the growing demands for telecast offers. Facilities include six full-run presses capable of printing a total of 240,000 pieces of material per day. In addition, camera rooms, the latest in computer typesetting equip-

Braille Foundation Seeks Names of Spanish Blind
Special efforts are being made by Christian Record Braille Foundation to secure names of Spanish blind and visually-handicapped readers.
Christian Record Braille Foundation, in Lincoln, Nebraska, produces books on records and cassette tapes in the denomination’s only publishing house for the blind.
Spanish translations of books such as Steps to Christ, The Desire of Ages, Time Running Out, and Happiness Wall to Wall are available from the CRBF lending library. A catalog of publications will be mailed upon request.
Mrs. Immur Kittleson, formerly of Iquitos, Peru, narrates and edits books in Spanish. Her work has helped to expand the free services of CRBF to Spanish-speaking blind persons.

New Church Development will loan to the new company money needed for a church building. This company will repay to New Church Development on a regular basis the principal plus a nominal interest rate to be determined by the prime rate.
New Church Development, Inc. is now accepting memberships. We are planning to accept 500 memberships as soon as possible. A membership is an Adventist who will make a gift of $500 for a charter membership, or $200 for a regular membership annually.
We believe this is a most significant program to help finish the work in Southeastern.
After the holidays, Conference President Walter Blehm is writing a letter to each Adventist family in Southeastern California Conference describing this new work.
We welcome your questions regarding membership in this new church development program.

During recent weeks the pastors, departmental leaders and laymen connected with the Conference administration have accepted the challenge of a six per cent increase in persons won to Christ during 1977.
With this outreach in mind, there will eventually be a need for new churches to house the converts.
A serious problem of starting construction of new churches is the existing rate of inflation that has hit the economy. Many new companies have only a few members. It take years of saving to get funds to begin a new sanctuary.
An organization named SDA Layman’s New Church Development, Incorporated, has been formed to solve this problem for beginning churches. The Conference Executive Committee has voted unanimously to embrace this program to help establish new work in new areas.
The new corporation was approved as a non-profit organization in May, 1976. It has taken several months to get tax exemption from the IRS, but the organization has now received its full tax exemption.

I looked up all the scriptures you gave me to look up and it appears to be entirely logical that Saturday is the seventh day.
In the Revelation, everything is the “seventh”—“seven bowls of wrath,” “seven trumpets,” “seven-sealed scroll,” etc. I’ve read Revelation quite a few times and never understood it, but it has been opened up to me this time!
I am a widow 73 years old who has loved the Bible a long time. I have enjoyed your Sunday broadcasts ever since moving here. Here is a check for your work.

Seventy-five grocery bags of food and several boxes of clothing were taken to Mexicali and Calexico for a large number of poor, underprivileged people.
Making the trip this year were seven college students, six laymen from Southeastern, and Inner City director-elect, along with present Inner City Director E. A. White.
Several homes were visited during the stay in Mexicali.
Food was distributed, prayer was offered, and words of encouragement were spoken to those visited.
On behalf of the Inner City Department of Southeastern California Conference, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all who had a part in this project, not only for this year but for all the other years we have been involved. May the work continue to expand, and may the day soon come when the work around the world will be finished and we can all go home with our Saviour.

R. L. EVERETT, pastor in Des Moines, Iowa, has accepted Central's call to become the senior minister of the Mountain View Church. He will take over the pulpit occupied until last summer by Euel Atchley. Announcing Everett's appointment, Central California Conference President Charles Cook says Everett is dedicated to a soul-winning ministry. "He has had 360 baptisms in four years in Des Moines."
DICK JEWETT will succeed W. Armour Potter as pastor of the San Francisco Central Church. Jewett is the president of Lifeguard, a church-sponsored counseling service, and the host of an open-mike radio program in San Francisco. Potter moves to the Tulsa, Oklahoma, Church next month.
NORMAN MIDDAG, previously announced as the new director of the youth department, has decided to stay in Staunton, Virginia, as Potomac Conference youth director.
STOY PROCTOR, minister and health educator, is the new director of the department of health services. Author of the booklet, Unmeat, Proctor comes from Illinois where he has headed that conference's health services department.
THE YOUTH DEPARTMENT is happy to announce that the services of a head ranger and cook have been obtained for Pine Springs Ranch. Mr. and Mrs. Wegner of the Potomac Conference will be joining the ranch staff after the first of the year. At present they fill similar positions at the youth camp in the Potomac Conference.

7£ave Tteazd?
HAVE YOU POSSIBLY HEARD recently that we could be on the very borders of the time of trouble and that everyone must make the needed preparation of character now? Have you given any thought as to what God expects you to do about your possessions? Or does it really matter? Note what God has to say about this:
"Some wills are made in so loose a manner that they will not stand the test of law, and thus thousands of dollars have been lost to the cause. Our brethren should feel that a responsibility rests upon them, as faithful servants in the cause of God, to exercise
their intellect in regard to this matter, and secure to the Lord His own.
E. J. Royer
"Many manifest a needless delicacy on this point. They feel that they are stepping upon forbidden ground when they introduce the subject of property to the aged ... in order to learn what disposition they design to make of it. But this duty is just as sacred as the duty to preach the word to save souls."	Counsels on Stewardship, 323, 324
We are happy to be able to say that "the brethren'7 have felt a responsibility in this area and that a definite Conference Plan has been devised. With counsel of attorneys, proper care and disposition of the property will be provided for those who feel impressed by His Spirit to return unto the Lord His own. We suggest you ask your Conference Trust Services how you might make provision for your property now that will stand the test of law after you are gone.

Adventist Church Named as a Historical Site
In an effort to acquaint the citizens of Pittsburg with the city’s history, the Pittsburg Bicentennial Committee is working on a project to designate about 30 locations as historical sites. The vine-covered, red brick Adventist church has been selected as one of these.
Located at Ninth and Cumberland, the church is one of the oldest in Pittsburg and was originally built by the Methodist Church about 50 years ago. The building has been owned by Adventists for 12 years. Its special features are a bell tower and stained-glass windows.
Elder Kenneth Smith is the current pastor of Pittsburg’s 150-member congregation.
The Pittsburg Adventist Church has been named as a historic site.

Literature evangelists today have a new sense of urgency in distributing the Spirit of Prophecy books. New methods are constantly being incorporated into the literature evangelism program in order to attract and hold the attention of busy and harried people of today.
The Conflict of the Ages set and the book, Bible Readings for the Home, make up what is known as the Bible Reference Library. A new audiovisual aid has been developed which shows these books and key illustrations in them to prospective customers.

Academy Presents Food Baskets
Students and faculty of Golden Gate Academy prepared food baskets for eight needy families in the Bay Area during the Thanksgiving season.
Each class was assigned the preparation of a food basket. Originality and creativity were expressed during the week-long project of assembling and decorating each basket.
Some classes brought home-baked specialties, fruits, nuts and candies for the children. Even household items such as napkins, paper plates and paper towels were included in some of the decorated baskets.
In traditional style the baskets were displayed before the students during a special chapel service on Wednesday, November 24. Principal William Wright expressed his appreciation to each class group for their generosity.
Faculty members and stu-
worked hard behind the scenes to make it possible for the meetings to run smoothly throughout the campaign.
Although the population of Fortuna is small (about 4,000), at least 130 non-members registered during the series. About 30 of these attended quite regularly.
Many victories were seen as the Spirit of God worked upon seeking hearts. Some who decided for baptism face considerable opposition. We seek an interest in your prayers for them.

Five-day Plans Held at Vacaville Prison
Almost 100 prisoners at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville have attended two Five-Day Plans held there since November. At the request of the inmates, the Vacaville Church and Northern’s Health Services Department have sponsored these programs, with Elders Robert Larsen and Charles Edwards leading out.
Because many more persons attended the first class than prison officials had anticipated, and because the chapel was not large enough to accommodate all of them, a plan was agreed upon to hold a series of smaller Five-Day Plans with about 50 persons in attendance at each. This program is currently being followed. Three additional Plans are being considered for the future.
Many men have found freedom from tobacco in these programs and have expressed their gratitude to the Adventist Church for making the programs available in their special circumstances.

Update
A MEETING WITH our Youth Department leaders indicates that Cedar Falls camp has been accredited by both the Christian Camping Association and the American Camping Association, receiving a 97 per cent rating, which is A-(-.
SOME VERY IMPORTANT improvements have been made at the Camp. Nearly 2,000 youngsters attended this past summer. Campers were blessed with the inspiration of the environment and the camp leadership. Including weekend groups through the winter, approximately 4,000 people used the facilities.
THE SUMMER YOUTH EVANGELISM report indicates 2,400 visits made by students, with 610 Bible studies given and 60 baptisms reported. Another 56 were still studying with students when their summer work came to an end.
WE WISH TO THANK those who donated scholarships to make it possible for students to work in soul-winning endeavor in our churches through the summer. Those who may be interested in donating a scholarship or more for next summer should contact either Doug Schultz in the MV Department or this office.
INGATHERING is progressing well throughout the Conference. Special emphasis on discovering spiritual interests in the homes of people being solicited makes this year's campaign a very important one.
AS YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY during these last days of 1976, invite someone to worship God with you on Sabbath, invite someone to study the Bible as the new year begins, and please make sure that all accounts with your local church, your conference pledges, and your commitments for tithe and free-will offerings are in order before 1976 closes. May the blessing and inspiration of heaven be upon you and your home during this holiday season.

Church Service Taken to Homes
THE OCEAN HIS BAPTISTRY— The salty water of Torrance City Beach became a baptistry for Albert Decena of the Hawthorne Church. He became interested in the Adventist Church through his wife's (Noemi) influence, and completed a Bible course by mail while on military assignment in Japan. After joining his wife in the U.S., he continued studies with R. Edward Johnson, pastor of the Hawthorne Church. He was baptized in the ocean at his request while 40 church members on the shore shared his new birth in Christ.
While many churches are urging that a way be found to get religion “to the people,” the Camarillo Church—thanks to modern technology—is doing it. With a videotape machine, they plug their worship service right into home TV sets.
Five men—Elder Ed Kolb, Merrill Gunn, Ray Stone, David Vannix and Dennis Pyle— have been taping services for four or five years and playing them back in the home of persons who request it. According to the local newspaper, Adventists are the first to have that kind of community service.
Although the program is designed for the ill, elderly and other shut-ins, Pastor Lonnie Melashenko said anyone who requests it can view the tapes. For the hard of hearing, the church also has cassette recordings of services.
Elder Kolb is the man who “makes the program go.” He has been involved since its inception in 1971. For about four
Thousand Oaks Installs Window
The new Thousand Oaks Church has installed the stained glass window located at the front of the sanctuary.
Portraying the Trinity in Creation, the window was designed by Roger Darricarrere of Darricarrere and Fairbanks, Inc., in Los Angeles.
Darricarrere’s art consists of glass in reinforced concrete,
leaded glass, and glass in cast bronze. He is also a sculptor.
The window’s value is emphasized by the fact that Darri-carre has won awards in Bayonne, France, Southern California and New York. His work on the leaded stained glass panel for the Protestant Center at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair also took first prize in National Competition.
Construction superintendent on the Thousand Oaks church is Russell Taggert. Elder Rockne Dahl is the pastor.

Real Wants and Christmas
DURING CHRISTMAS, more than any time in the year, we are urged to give in the "spirit of Christmas." Doesn't your heart long for an end to this tinsel, superficial and transitory age so our Lord may come again?
As an important member of the family of God, I believe you ought to be aware of some real and pressing needs of this Conference right now-.
•	Funds to plan radio and television time in such a way that a turn of the dial could always locate a Seventh-day Adventist program.
•	Funds to mail Signs to every interested name in our files.
•	A means to properly and quickly house every Adventist congregation now in rented facilities.
•	Funds to provide an evangelistic effort in every church and company in the spring and in the fall.
•	A means to reduce the tuition in our schools so that no Adventist child would be denied an education in Adventist schools because of tuition.
•	Funds to employ a full-time cooking school/health education instructor.
"When the Lord sees His people restricting their imaginary wants, practicing self-denial, not in a mournful, regretful spirit, as Lot's wife left Sodom, but joyfully for Christ's sake, then the work will go forward with power."

CHINESE CHURCH IS DEDICATED—The church first organized on November 4, 1961, had its inception in Wawona in December, 1959. From its first evangelistic campaign in May, 1960, under Pastor Wallace Chan to renting Olivet Chapel, the Broadway Chapel and the Griffin Avenue Latvian Church during 1960 and 1961, the membership now totals 155. The church building alongside U.S. Interstate 10 in Alhambra was recently renovated to cut out traffic noise. Other benefits include a new foyer, paving of the parking lot, fencing the property and landscaping church grounds. The work, which began in 1973, was headed by Jacob Chang. The church operates an eye and dental clinic plus a nursery school. Music played a strong role during the church's dedication service. The present pastor, W. C. Leong (lower right, center), is surrounded by local and union conference officers who took part in the dedication November 20. Jacob Chang is standing to the pastor's right.
years—aside from one interruption for construction of the new church on Las Posas Road— Elder Kolb has taped services and shown them to members of the community.
The job involves a great deal of his time because he does the majority of the taping. However, he feels it is well worth his effort for it makes people feel they are part of the service.

Preschoolers Share Their Christmas Enthusiasm
Sixteen students from Central church preschool, Na Ke-iki O Ka Aina, shared their Christmas enthusiasm with Mission President Lawrence Davidson and staff members of Hawaiian Mission recently. Under the direction of Carol Magboo, they performed at the Japanese church December 11 and at Central church December 18.
This is the second year of the preschool program. Interest continues to grow and prospects for a much larger enrollment in 1977 appear good.
Anyone interested in the services of the preschool program is invited to call Mrs. Magboo at 538-7624.

Health Literature Distributed
More than 6,000 pieces of health and temperance literature were distributed at the first annual health fair held at Honolulu’s new Chinese Cultural Center Plaza.
Hawaiian Mission’s Community Services van was on display and served as a center for information on nutrition. Samples of vegetarian meat substitutes furnished by the Adventist Book Center were given out.
The van also served as a health screening center for pulmonary function and children’s dental check. Larry Popplewell, chief respiratory therapist from Castle Memorial Hospital, and Kaneohe church member Howard Y. B. Kim, DDS, specialist in children’s dentistry, provided professional help for the screening.
Hawaiian Mission Lay Activities Director Will Degeraty coordinated activities from the van.
Inside the main display area, Delia De la Cruz, MD, and Elder Ralph Pueschel worked with Hawaiian Mission Temperance Director Ron Breingan advertising the Five-Day Plan to Stop Smoking.
Many visitors expressed personal gratitude for the help received from past Five-Day Plans. Others made inquiries

San Manuel is a mining community approximately 120 miles southeast of Phoenix. A request came to the Health Services Department from E. E. Von Pohle, MD, for a Five-Day Plan to Stop Smoking to be held in the Community Center.
Sixteen persons registered for the Plan and 12 faithfully followed through to victory. Enthusiasm ran high and a followup meeting was planned for December 19.
One of the participants, a mining engineer, had worked in Peru and made comments about the wonderful work the Seventh-day Adventists had done in that country.

Thunderbird Academy offers Private Ground School classes each semester, with ground school courses for Commercial, Flight Instructor, and Instrument certificates usually taught on an individual basis.
Currently more than 30 students are working on certificates and flying in five planes. “Several student pilots at TAA have plans to become missionary pilots in foreign fields some day,” confided Lloyd.
Wickenburg A dds Members
One year ago the Wickenburg Church had 40 members. Since then 19 people have been added by baptism and profession of faith. Now six more are preparing for baptism this year.
This total of 25 new members will make a gain of 60 per cent since the first of the year. For this we humbly thank the Lord.
Public meetings, personal work, Vacation Bible School have all helped to win these souls to Christ.
Sabbath school superintendent Della Cales and her helpers are conducting two Neighborhood Bible Clubs, one in Wickenburg and one in Wittman, 20 miles away.
Under the experienced leadership of Pastor R. J. Roy, Wickenburg is pressing ahead with its soul-winning program.

Cottonwood Community Service workers Beulah Stone and Viva Woods got the surprise of their lives at one Thanksgiving basket recipient’s home this season.
Although the man’s name had been given to the church as a needy individual they discovered that he didn’t need food But he was dumbfounded that there were actually Christians who prepare and deliver food to people they don’t know.
Since he was a Mormon he could understand giving to one’s own church members, but gifts to non-members amazed him.
“Do you people have mission-
aries?” he asked. When the ladies responded affirmatively he said, “Then have them come over and study with me; I want to know more about people who will do this sort of thing.”
As the ladies left, the impressed gentleman gave them the name of a family who could use the food basket, and handed them $100 “to use to carry on your good work.”

General News continued
Staff members at Adventist Indian Mission School, Holbrook, Arizona, are concerned that some of their students will not be able to stay in school unless some financial help comes their way. Many of the staff are working on a voluntary basis, while others are sponsoring some of the students they teach. At this holiday season, they wonder if Recorder readers might like to answer the admonition, "Feed My Lambs/7 by making a monthly sponsorship commitment.

Health Emphasis
Special emphasis will be achieved in several ways. Nutrition study groups will meet in local churches on the last Wednesday night of every month. Among other things, these groups will read and discuss Ellen White’s Counsels on Diet and Foods.
During 1977, a new edition of the book, along with a Study Guide, will be available at your Adventist Book Center for an all-time low price of $1.50.
In addition, every issue of Life & Health (subscription only $8) will stress some aspect of proper nutrition in 1977.
Take advantage of this opportunity to systematically study nutrition. Live the good life in 1977—and happily ever after!
La Sierra To Host as Academy Seniors Visit
Seniors from 11 academies will visit the La Sierra campus during the month of January, according to Robert L. Osmun-son, director of admissions.
January 6, 177 students from Loma Linda, San Diego, and San Gabriel academies will be guests for a day. Almost 300 students will arrive January 11 from La Sierra, Lynwood, Newbury Park, San Fernando, and San Pasqual academies. The 193 seniors of Glendale, Orangewood, and Thunderbird academies will spend January 17 at La Sierra.
Students will have an opportunity for advice on career choices and financing a college education, as well as time to visit classes and individual departments to become acquainted with the faculty.
A hayride, activities at the physical education department, and lunch will fill the rest of the day.
teaching techniques into their classes.
General Chemistry coordinator Wayne E. Zaugg, with help from fellow teachers Leland Y. Wilson and Clyde L. Webster, has set up a system to help eliminate student mathematical errors in chemistry lab experiments.
Every student does an advanced study assignment before going to lab. Then they take their results to the computer which checks their work and, in effect, gives them a pass to the lab. After the lab the computer again assists the student. With the programs the La Sierra teachers have written, a student is “told” by the computer if his calculations are right or wrong, and if they are wrong, the student is given a chance to make the necessary corrections.
For people taking Introduction to Chemistry, H. Raymond Shelden II has developed minicourses in specific subjects, such as proteins. Study guides and tapes help the student put together all the information on that subject for mastery. Shel-den’s students are also offered options in the way they fulfill class objectives. They may attend the weekly intensive lecture, or do the work on their own.
These innovations are paying off. Enrollment in chemistry classes has increased from 379 students in 1969 to 690 in 1975, but class size remains small. Popular classes are divided into several sections, and are offered more than once during the

school year.
As time allows, faculty members are doing research, too. Clyde Webster just received a $5,000 grant from the Research Corporation to study the origin of uranium roll type deposits.
The chemistry department offers degrees in both chemistry and biochemistry. The latter major is proving even more popular than the straight chemistry sequence. In both areas, either a bachelor of science or of arts can be earned. Master’s and doctoral degrees are offered through the Graduate School. A new major this year is Physical Science: Chemistry, designed especially for those planning on teaching. In conjunction with the School of Education, a master’s degree in the teaching of chemistry is also offered.

PACIFIC UNION RECORDER / MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1976
When Linda Shultz graduated from La Sierra last year, she summed up her college experience with a bulletin board display for her major department, chemistry.
“Life is a series of exothermic reactions,” it read. And in smaller print she praised the people who helped her survive the reactions. “Your chemistry teachers love you and they want to help you with any need.”
Chemistry department chairman William M. Allen is quite proud of his young, well-trained faculty. Each of the eight full-time teachers has a doctoral degree. “We think we have the largest staff of PhD-degreed faculty of any Adventist department in any field devoted exclusively to undergraduate education,” he says.
Diversity is another faculty quality Prof. Allen points to. With three organic chemists, two physical chemists, one specialists in inorganic, one in bio-organic, and one in geochemistry, he says his department offers students a well-rounded curriculum. Three members of the School of Medicine Biochemistry Department also teach part-time at La Sierra.
The chemistry staff has introduced several innovative
