LITERATURE EVANGELISM F "rds is the Very Work the Lord Would Have His People Do at This Time." 6T. 313 iirePtatuze Eciaileeide Exotetiefteed On the Road to Canaan — By DON CRAWFORD, Maritime Conference Literature Evangelist We had spent several days canvassing on and around Mount Hebron. We had been on the road to Canaan. We sold a set of books in Salem and drove through Goshen and now I had a Bible Story lead card from Mount Pisgah. The first week in October, the weather was clear, the air was crisp with signs of frost in the air, the leaves of the trees had changed their colour to bright red to yel- low, and the countryside was a brilliant glow, when I decided to visit Mount Pis- gah. I drove to Sussex, about sixty-five miles away, and stopped at a service station to ask directions. I asked a young man the way to Mount Pisgah. He said he didn't know, but would ask his father, who ap- peared in a few minutes. When I asked him I knew in a minute he had been there. He said, "go north two miles and you will come to a schoolhouse, take the road to the right, go another two miles and you are at the foot of Mount Pisgah." I thanked him and quickly got into my car and started north. As I drove to the school and turned to the right I noticed the en- gine slowing down and yet the surround- ings didn't look as if I were ascending. I changed to another gear and soon I was climbing up and up. At last I was on top of Mount Pisgah. I climbed out and looked around. What a breath-taking view! To the west across the valley I could see Mount Hebron, on the moun- tain slopes were cattle, and farther north sheep grazing. There was also a shepherd and his dog. This was a wonderful sight. I can see why God called Moses to view the Promised Land from Mount Pisgah. It was nearing lunch time, so I ate there. I then started over the mountain and came to the little schoolhouse with a sign over the door "Mount Pisgah" but the door was locked. Many farmers on this land had found life there too hard and had moved away to town. I canvassed the remaining farm- ers and left many books, tracts and mag- azines. I am sure some of these farmers have their eyes on the heavenly Canaan and look forward to the blessed hope.

Now large companies in the world of industry are turning to this area with an eye on the future. Proof of their interest came most re- cently as Miles Laboratories, Inc., and Worthington Foods, Inc., agreed in prin- ciple to a merger. Worthington Foods, a self-supporting Adventist company in Worthington, Ohio, has for the past 30 years been a producer of vegetarian foods. This merger adds food processing to the diversified interests of Miles cor- poration. Though owned and directed by Miles Laboratories, Worthington Foods will for the present, continue with its existing staff and using its own food formulas, though more extensive research will be initiated into vegetable protein foods as the plant is expanded. Should any changes in for- mulas be introduced and vegetarian J tandards ne, longer In r•.) �thP church will be informed. The Miles-Worthington merger does not affect Loma Linda Foods, which will continue to operate as a church-owned and operated industry. Loma Linda Foods is the largest of the church's food producers in North Amer- ica. Research, production, and marketing of its products are co-ordinated through the newly established World Foods Ser- vice, which has its headquarters in the General Conference in Washington, D.C. The service extends to 24 church-owned food plants around the world. ERIC W. HOUSE, Director World Foods Service * � * � * Get Involved — Give an Enrolment Card Where do you start saving souls? For one Canadian Seventh-day Adventist it started by sending a carefully selected name to The Voice of Prophecy's Faith Bible correspondence school. "I started taking the Faith course through an introductory letter that came with the first lesson — someone having turned my name in. I shall always be grateful to them for sending my name to you," says Laura Barbe of Henrysburg, Quebec. "The course has already answered many of the questions about which I was not sure. You have certainly put it down in a very interesting and informa- tive manner. I hope to introduce many people to the Bible through your course." Get involved!

The campaign climaxed with a church supper and social evening in the Lion's Den, Botwood, where an estimated 140 church members and friends were in at- tendance. We welcome this opportunity, through social channels, to come closer It was a very pleasant and profitable occasion to have Elder Francis Soper, Editor of the Listen magazine to visit Newfoundland. He spent the best part of three days in our field visiting some of the churches and making contacts with prominent citizens in Newfoundland. On Thursday morning of January 14 Elder Soper presented Listen magazine and his views on better living over Television Station CJON. He was given nearly one- half hour in which he gave a very fine presentation. Elder Soper and Elder Matthews had a very pleasant visit with Ross Barbour, MP for Bonavista, Newfoundland. Mr. Barbour had an interesting contact with Seventh-day Adventists some years back when he was invited by Elder Norman How, then President of the Church in Newfoundland, to officiate in the opening of a new school at Lethbridge. Mr. Bar- bour was a chain smoker so when he got into the car he asked Elder How, accord- ing to the way he told the story, if he could smoke. Elder How pointed out to him that his car was really church prop- erty and that no smoking would be al- lowed in his car but that if he wanted to smoke he would stop at any time for him to do so. "Well," Mr. Barbour said, "we will be stopping a good many times be- cause I smoke a lot." Then Mr. Barbour felt a little peeved and he was going to tell Elder How, "Well, if I can't smoke you can get somebody else to open this build- ing." Then the thought came to him, if this man has enough nerve to tell me that I can't smoke in his car I'm man enough to take it and not smoke. This is how Mr. Barbour gave up smoking and he has been forever grateful to Seventh- day Adventists for helping him to get rid of this vice which was destroying him. After the visit with Ross Barbour, Elders Soper and Matthews were cor- dially welcomed into the Premier's office and again a very interesting conversation followed in which Premier Joseph Small- wood gave his views on alcohol and also told his story of how he gave up smoking and the struggle he had. As is normal the Premier was rejoicing because he had rid himself of the terrible bad habit of to those we wish to win. We are also praying that some of the contacts made during the Ingathering campaign will re- sult in enrolments in the Bible Course offered in the Ingathering pamphlet.

Adminis- trators and teachers alike are appealing for copies of Listen to help them reach their students. "Our social studies class in high school would like to use Listen. We can use thirty copies on a subscription basis." — L.M.P. "After reading Listen for the first time, I decided it would be an excellent publication to have our students read. The October, 1969 edition, showing the medical pictures and report on the ef- fects of smoking, is the copy in which I am keenly interested." — MTI Busi- ness School "Thank you for sending Listen for the past few years. Frequently, I am able to use various portions of an issue in the classroom. The students tend to respond in a most positive manner, and sometimes request copies for their own personal use. I would be most pleased if you can obtain a sponsor who will provide copies of Listen for each stu- dent in my class. I am certain they would be profitably used." — J.H., In- structor in High School Yes, the youth must have an opportunity to know of the better way. Be sure the names of teachers of high schools, and of major subjects in elementary schools, as well as youth clubs, are on your spon- sorship list; and that, as far as possible, Listen is in the biology, social science, physical education, driver education, and counselling classroom.

Pastor Branes Kanachky officially re- tired December 31, 1969. The Yugoslav- ian Church gave a special programme in his honour. The pastor responded by tell- ing a little of his early life, and recalled the year that Elder H. 0. Olson called him to be pastor of the Yugoslavian Church in the Greater New York Confer- ence. He told of the miraculous experi- ence he had in selling his house to accept the call. The year before the call came he had tried for a long, long time to sell his house. Many customers came to see the house, but no one was interested in buy- ing it. When the call came to enter the ministry he put the house up for sale and the first fellow who came to see the house was so impressed with the place that he gave him $250.00 more than he asked for it. Another miracle was needed when he arrived in Vancouver and presented him- self to the American Immigration in or- der to get his papers to work in the United States. They told him there was no quota and that it might take a long time for him to get clearance to enter the U.S.A. However, the official was very nice and said, "I will wire Belgrade to see if there is an opening in the quota." That same day, in answer to prayer, a telegram came back granting permission for the A $2,000 gift for Ingathering is a thrilling sequel to a story carried in the March 10, 1969 issue of the MESSENGER. Twenty-six years ago Alexander Vick- ers, of the Oshawa College Park Church, became acquainted with a businessman. All through the intervening years he has visited this man, invited him to special meetings at the church and at Camp Meeting, and has given him books, in- cluding the Great Controversy. On top of all this, he has given him a yearly sub- scription to These Times ever since the magazine was first published. When Ingathering time came Mr. Vickers told his business acquaintance of our mission programme, and was given a $25.00 donation. This continued for a number of years, until the annual gift was increased to $100, then to $125, $200, and $250. Four years ago Mr. Vickers was thrilled when this annual Ingathering gift sky- rocketed to $1,150, then to $1,250, and Kanachkies to leave Canada and enter the U.S.A. There was no literature printed in the Yugoslavian language for use in North America, so Pastor Kanachky turned translator and printer. He invested of his means in order that literature might be- come available to the many people who speak one of the three Yugoslavian lan- guages in North America. Many times Pastor Kanachky longed to return to Yugoslavia to see his parents. Sometimes he was tempted by calls to enter the work in his homeland and thus be united with his people again, but the great need for the development of the Yugoslavian work in North America kept him from doing so. His parents died be- fore he could ever see them again. This was a disappointment but he looks for- ward to the blessed hope of meeting them again in the kingdom of God. Pastor Kanachky loves the Yugoslavian people and his heart is especially attached to the work in Toronto where, together with fellow believers, he built a beautiful new church. The Pastor plans to spend his days of retirement in the city of Toronto where he can be near the work that was so dear to his heart. Alexander Vickers, of the College Park Church in Oshawa, hands his Ingathering check for $2,000 to Elder J. W. Bothe, president of the Canadian Union. The Canadian flag is in the background. last year it was $1,800, with the great culminating amount of $2,000 this year. Undoubtedly this is one of the largest, if not the largest, Ingathering donation ever received by any one person in our In- gathering programme. Mr. Vickers prays earnestly before he makes his calls upon this business friend. * $2,000 Gift Received for Ingathering THEDA KUESTER, PR Secretary, College Park Church 86 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER Isolated Voice of Prophecy Interests Added to the Remnant Church Not only are these gifts a great help for our mission programme, but we know that this donor is blessed as a result of his generous gifts. He greatly enjoys These Times, saying that it is one of the finest magazines he has ever read, and he has requested that subscriptions also be sent to some of his friends. This gentleman has expressed himself as thinking a lot of our people, and enjoying attending our meetings and hearing our speakers. While he is assist- ing substantially in our mission pro- gramme of medical, education, and evan- gelical ministry, his own soul is being watered with the blessings of heaven.

It's Time for Action! The forces of intemperance grow stronger as time grows shorter. However, Canadians today are interested in the positive aspects of Better Living. "Listen" is filled with the latest information for healthier, happier lives. This journal should be in every school in our confer- ence. Libraries, guidance centres, doctors and other thought leaders should be re- ceiving the help which "Listen" can give. It's time for action. Do we believe the temperance programme is part of the Gospel? Statistics seem to indicate that currently there is one-half "Listen" sub- scription per church member in our con- ference. Will you not make it a matter of prayer asking the Lord to guide you as to how many subscriptions you will sponsor Feb- ruary 28? Don't forget to make the first one your own. DON ALDRIDGE, Secretary Temperance Department Ontario-Quebec A Faithful Witness West Toronto's Ingathering campaign came to an early end because of the tre- mendous effort of Mrs. Daisy Reid. Dur- ing the campaign she was unable to par- ticipate in the united efforts on Saturday nights or any other nights, due to her tight schedule. But alone, and usually tired after work, Mrs. Reid religiously spent two hours each day in the field. As a result, she collected $1,077.00. We wish to thank her for the splendid work and pray that God will continue to bless her. ROY SULKER, PR Secretary Toronto West Church VoL. 39, No. 5, FEBRUARY 23, 1970 For almost a year the small home of "Nick" Nicholson and his wife, Donna, at 1212 High Street in Windsor, has been the scene of a very active branch Sabbath School. "Nick" and Donna were baptized early in 1969, and one of their first concerns was for the children in their neighbour- hood. The first Sabbath afternoon twenty- three children came. They came from play, and "Nick" stood at the door with a washcloth, wiping faces and hands as they entered. Mrs. Ruth Smith led out at first, getting things off to a good start. A show of hands showed that only a very Mrs. Ann Roberson journeyed 400 miles round trip to be baptized Decem- ber 27, 1969. Pastor V. Shipowick is in- forming her that her certificate will be sent from the Conference Church. Initial contact with the Seventh-day Adventist Church was through the first lesson of the Voice of Prophecy Faith Course, mailed by the Conference to dark dis- tricts. few of the children ever attended Sun- day School or church. Mrs. Smith moved away in June and the Nicholsons carried on, aided by various church members who drop in to tell a story or give the lesson study. There have been as many as forty or more in attendance some weeks. A great help has been Miss Maria Mur- ray who has lately been attending regul- larly, leading the singing, telling stories, and helping with crafts. How the children love this hour they spend learning about Jesus! DONNA REID, PR Secretary Windsor Church Real "gold" was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. C. Boyce who live in the world's second richest gold mining area, as they pursued the many Bible courses offered by the Voice of Prophecy. On November 19, 1969, Mrs. Boyce made her decision to become a member on profession of faith. Her husband is seriously planning to take this important step. 87 Associated Pastor of Winnipeg English Church IAINMIL, BIBLET'A HAND CRUSADE:IL;;-- no._ WNW IRDRESDAY FRIDAY � -,,Bii.liAND 7, 2. f.._,I ;Wl e CRUSADE � a GREAT OPENING, NI6N7 i.,, iTr , � 1111 WELCOME T4 ALL I Manitoba — Saskatchewan — Nipawin, Saskatchewan: Weather Forecast January 19, 35 Below Zero The beautiful Nipawin Church, the location of the Crusade.

Two baptisms in Windsor brought five members of the Hubley family into the church. Early in the summer Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Hubley and their oldest son, Mike, made their decision to join God's remnant people. Their decision brought them so much joy that they called Al's father in the Maritimes, whereupon Mr. Hubley, Sr., decided to fly to Windsor accompanied by another son, for the bap- tism in Windsor, Ontario. Several months later the Hubleys re- joiced to see their second son, Mark, and older daughter, Linda, baptized. There are also two younger children. On the same day that Linda and Mark were baptized, Pastor Milliken also bap- tized Mr. and Mrs. Lalley. This fine cou- ple learned the truth as a result of Faith For Today and a visit from literature evangelist Keith Reid who left them the Book Three Hours To Live by Pastor Fagal, and a card offering the Gift Bible Study Plan. Following studies with Pas- tor Milliken, both Mr. and Mrs. Lalley gladly accepted the truth. They are busy sharing their faith with their friends and acquaintances. DONNA REID, PR Secretary Windsor Church The opening meeting of the "Bible-in- the-hand Crusade" was enthusiastically warm with interest on the part of the many visitors who attended the first lec- ture entitled "The Seventies — Christ or Chaos." This marked the beginning of an eight- week Crusade in the town of Nipawin. What a thrill it was to hear the many visitors say on leaving the meeting, "This is just too much about which to be silent. We must get our relatives and friends out as well." We of the Crusade team pray that God's Spirit will move upon the hearts of the people as they attend night by night, until they have made a final and com- pete commitment to Christ. JOHN W.

JOYCE MCKAY Winnipeg English Church 88 � CANADIAN UNION MESSENGER VoL. 39, No. 5, FEBRUARY 23, 1970 "The Old Made New" � Winnipeg MV Sisters Sereda and Badowich display some of the work they have already done for the Dorcas Society. When the Dorcas Society of the York- ton Church "house-cleaned" their Dorcas room in the church to transfer to the new Dorcas room in the Junior Academy, most of the aarments on hand were not suitable to give away in the event of need, yet they were too good to be discarded. Faithful Dorcas ladies, such as the two pictured, Sisters Badowich and Sereda, took the garments home and soon a "sewing bee" was under way. Mrs. Badowich spent some eighty hours one month, washing, ironing and ripping apart the old garments and sewing new clothes. She made over twenty dresses, ranging in sizes from infant to ten years of age. She also made jumpers and matching blouses, boys' shirts, and even dolls' dresses. She took great pains to make the dresses have that fancy look and at the same time to design a pattern of her own. She is by no means wasteful, for with the pieces of material left over, she made three rugs. At the same time Mrs. Sereda busied herself with making billows. She took apart an old quilt and with the feathers made nine pillows. She used shirts and uniforms for making the pillow slips. Mrs. Sereda is also sewing small girls' coats, fully lined, from the old coats that were given to the Society. You ask these dear sisters if they are tired of "ole man winter" and they would probably say that time is slipping by much too rapidly and that they want to get their sewing completed before spring. Needless to say the work of these sisters is greatly appreciated and surely the Lord will bless their efforts as they do the work of Dorcas. (MRS.) J. ASTOLFI Yorkton Church A programme featuring students home for the Christmas vacation resulted in an interesting MV programme for the Win- nipeg English Church.

At the beginning of the current school year fifteen new students decided to prepare for the ministry, mak- ing a total at present of well over forty in the four-year course. God's Holy Spirit may be impressing you to come to Canadian Union College and prepare to be a minister for God. Do write to us and express your desire; or if you know of someone that God can use as a missionary in the foreign field or in the homeland, tell him about the School of Theology at Canadian Union College. Write for information or send us names. God is calling men that are willing to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation, tongue and people.

Respond to God's call and let God direct your life. D. SKORETZ Chairman, Department of Theology The Medical-Ministerial Retreat The annual Medical-Ministerial Retreat for the 1969-70 school year was held at Camp Rundle October 16 to 19. Approximately sixty people gathered at this spot in a valley at the foot of the Canadian Rockies twelve miles from Banff for the purpose of drawing nearer to God, to each other in Christian fellowship, and to gain spiritual and physical recreation, in- formation and inspiration. All pre-medical and theology students with their families, along with the involved faculty members and their families were invited to share in the blessings as well as the work and expenses of the weekend. The theme of the session was, "Appointed to His Service." It is spon- sored by the Theology Department of the College and organized by the student club called "The Ministerial Association." The programme for each day involved worship, informative talks by specialists in the field, discussion periods, physical recreation, nature walks and singing. All ate together and shared the work except the cooking, which was done by Mrs. Violet Polishuk, in the camp dining hall. Speakers for the occasion were Elder Dan Skoretz, head of the Theology Department, Elder A. Dick, instructor of Bible, Elder Ed Teranski, pastor of the Lacombe Church, Elder Lloyd Bell, returned missionary from Africa, Dr. Hervey Gimbel, medical doctor from Calgary, Elder Willis Clark, Bible teacher in the high school division of CUC, and Mr. A. Bat- tistone, professor of biology in the College Division. The Pictures from Top to Bottom Al Freed directing the group in singing at Camp Rundle.

Canadian Union College Theology Department Opens Evangelistic Centre The Faith for Today Evangelistic Cen- tre in Lacombe had its formal opening on Sunday evening January 18 with two identical meetings at 6:15 and 8:00. It is a small white building formerly owned by the Free Methodist Church. It is located on the corner of 52nd Street and 52nd Avenue in Lacombe, one block north of the Post Office. It was purchased by the college for the Theology Depart- ment's use as a field school in evangelism and community service. It is not being used as a church or for Sabbath services. The Ministerial Association men are leading out in the project, and it is spon- sored by the Theology Department men: Elder Dan Skoretz, and Elder A. V. Dick, with the close collaboration of Elder Ed Teranski. The building, which has a seating ca- pacity of one hundred, has been under repair and remodelling for the past sev- eral months. An addition has been added on the south rear side facing 52nd Ave. It is now the main entrance and provides space for two washrooms, furnace room and coat racks. The meetings being held there now on Friday are a part of the follow-up of a series of meetings which Pastor Teranski and the theology men have been carrying on in the Lacombe Memorial Centre since before Christmas. Beginning in March a new series will begin with the fourth-year theology men being the speakers. Ministerial Students' Wives' Club While the men were having their meet- ings at Canmore, the wives who were present gathered for the first meeting of the year of their club, "The Shepherdess Club" and selected officers. There are twenty-four members and they meet at the home of Mrs. Dan Skoretz on the second and fourth Tuesday nights of each month. Their officers are: Mrs. Hannah Hie- bert, president (pictured), Mrs. Shirley Freed, vice-president, Mrs. Donna Jack- son, secretary, Mrs. Marlene Holdahl, li- brarian, with Mrs. Dan Skoretz and Mrs. A. V. Dick, sponsors. At every meeting for devotional period they are using the book Child Guidance by E. G. White. Recently Mrs. Skoretz has been leading in presenting the answers to the question, "What is expected of a minister's wife?" Mrs. A. V. Dick will present the topic "What is expected of a missionary's wife?" at the next meeting. At present, Dr. Tetz is conducting a series of classes in nutrition with various mem- bers doing the demonstrations. Plans for the future meetings this sea- son include Sabbath School workshops in which they hope to gain ideas and mate- rials for children's activities. Theology Students' Club Picks Officers The club on campus to which all theol- ogy students are eligible to become mem- bers is the Ministerial Association. They meet every two weeks on Friday evenings at 6:15 in the Administration Building. Their officers for this school year are: Jacob Hiebert, president, Herbert Borg- Thorsen, vice-president, Richard Weber, secretary-treasurer, Wilfred Michaels, public-relations secretary, and Curtis Johnson, religious liberty secretary. There are approximately forty members. Pictures from Top to Bottom Officers of the Ministerial Association.

Spang- ler, far left, church treasurer, and former pastor of the Swift Current Church, and Brother Phil Spangler, Lay Activities director for 1969, second from left, are some of the members who faithfully solicited from door to door to make the 1969 Ingathering campaign a successful one for the Swift Current Church. Elder Spangler himself had solicited approxi- mately $1,000.00 from business establish- ments earlier in the fall thus giving a tremendous boost to the campaign. A total of $2,128.00 was realized. Three door-to-door solicitors were: Brother Ben Fromback, a Jasper Wayne solicitor, standing next to Brother Phil Spangler; Mrs. Adele Brandt, back row, next to Brother Fromback, and Mrs. John Spar-' ling, second last to the right, both with almost $100.00 each. Of our many fine young people who participated so wonder- fully, Doug Spangler, first on the right, was the highest solicitor with $55.00. A number of others who did outstanding work were not available for the picture. INVESTMENT Total investment in the Swift Current Church last year amounted to over $500.00, due to the aggressive and en- thusiastic leadership of Mrs. Ruth (Grandma) Bergey. One of the highlights in the overall Investment programme for the year was the Investment Fair, a first for the church, held in the recreation room of the Swift Current Nursing Home, and which proved to be a good success. The accompanying pictures of the Fair tell at least part of the story! Mrs. John Sparling smilingly makes a sale to her equally smiling husband from the pastry and goodies stand conducted by Mrs. Sparling and a number of other ladies. Grandma (Mrs. Ruth) Bergey, taking advantage of the Christmas season, during which time the Fair was held, operated a stand of. beauti- fully arranged Christmas centre pieces, flowers, etc. Here she is shown making a sale of one of her centre piece designs to Mrs. R. C. Spangler. Newspaper PR in Kindersley, Saskatchewan The Kindersley Clarion printed 267 inches of public service in the past year. Its readers stand to benefit in several ways. First, Evelyn Christison, R.N., M.A., writes on subjects ranging from "The Common Cold" to "Home Hazards" re- peating principles of health and better living, outlined by God through inspira- tion long ago. Thus, God has made another opportnity to instruct in ways that can make life a little better for many so long as time shall last. Clarion readers are also having the chance to discover that Seventh-day Ad- ventists are not a little group of peculiar people with queer ideas. While there is little opportunity for Mrs. Christison to mention God's church in her writings, her husband is submitting news items that do. Thus they discover that Advent- ists are a widely, well-organized church that is interested in the uplift of humanity. Evelyn Christison, R.N., M.A. Fair Mrs. Ruth Bergey, Investment leader, purchas- ing a hot dog from proprietor Maxine Mercer, the pastor's little daughter. Maxine and her mother did a big business in selling hot dogs (Loma Linda style) and drinks to the many patrons who turned out for the Fair. 92 There were a number of other projects in evidence at the Fair adding spice and fun to the very enjoyable and profitable social evening. This "first" for the Swift Current Church proved to be so successful and acceptable that it will undoubtedly be repeated next fall, with even greater interest and success. Further, readers of the Kindersley Clarion are being brought closer to the very messages that will help them to stand justified before God whether they know it or not, for walls of prejudice are being broken down. The Kindersley Church is grateful to the Clarion for the many inches of do- nated space for advertising the Five-day Plans. Several individuals came to the Stop Smoking Plans due to these columns and only time will tell how much more influence all this has had.

Pot-Luck Dinner Officers from the churches of Beauval- lon, Bonnyville, Edmonton Ukrainian, In- nisfree, Myrnam, Vegreville and Vermil- ion met with the departmental leaders of the Conference in the Beauvallon audi- torium Sunday, January 25. Group discussions were chaired by their respective department leader and suggestions made how to better serve the needs of the church and the community. A pot-luck dinner followed, enjoyed by all. The entire group then met together for a question period. Short reports were given by the Conference leaders. Presi- dent Kaytor expressed thanks for the sup- port given to the work of the Conference last year. The meeting closed with a unan- imous vote to financially support the pro- gramme of Evangelism this year. ROY DUBYNA, Pastor Beauvallon District Won to the Faith Through Combined Efforts On January 17, 1970, during the Sab- bath worship hours Mrs. Dorothy Wylie was baptized in the Calgary S.D.A. Church. The officiating minister was Elder Del Sudds, head of the Literature Evan- gelist Department of the Alberta Con- ference. Sister Wylie was won to our faith through the combined efforts of Brother Melvin Kindopp, a literature evangelist of the Conference, and pastor Udo Wors- chech of the Beiseker district. It was about twenty years ago when Mrs. Wylie and her mother bought the book Bible Readings from a literature evangelist. They studied together and with the help of an Adventist minister, Brother Prosser, came to believe in the true teach- ings of the Bible as they are taught and Left to right — Colporteur, Melvin Kindopp, Mrs. Wylie, and Pastor Worschech. preached in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The contact with the Adventists was lost, but nevertheless, Mrs. Wylie kept on studying and praying. The spirit of God impressed her mind and in many ways, without any contact with Seventh- day Adventists, Mrs. Wylie lived in har- mony with many of the principles of our church. Eight months ago Brother M. Kindopp met Mrs. Wylie and enrolled her in further Bible study courses, which she successfully completed in a very short time and decided to be baptized into our church. While she was yet studying the Bible course she was also witnessing to other people. Her efforts are blessed with a small group of contacts in the Strathmore area. Her mother, eighty years of age, has also indicated her desire to be baptized later on in the spring. We are very happy for Sister Wylie and thank God for the wonderful working of His Spirit on the hearts of men. May God bless Sister Wylie in her walk with Him.

Teranski is shown presenting three ladies with their Gift Bible diplomas. The members of the Edmonton Church have been very active in the Gift Bible plan this year. This, coupled with a strong evangelistic meeting, resulted in many baptisms. 94 Edmonton Church Choir Performs Reported by OLAV FALSNES Edmonton Church Choir under the direction of Brother Art Cooper. A very special church service was held in the Edmonton Central Church on Sab- bath the 20th of December, 1969, when the church choir had their annual Christ- mas cantata. Under the leadership of Art Cooper, it was the first time the choir had the entire church service. Narrations were done by Christopher Oddy. It was an impressive service and may we encourage other churches to utilize their choirs in a sim- ilar way. In the afternoon the M.V. Department also put on a special programme. The four- to eight-year old children, under the leadership of Mrs. Alice Cooper and Mrs. Esther Lidstone, portrayed the birth of Christ in a pageant. Several of the senior members who descended from different nationalities gave an account of how Christmas is spent in other lands. * Loyalist Blood Donor Clinic Success A recent Red Cross blood donor clinic was sponsored by the members of the Loyalist Church. The clinic turned out to be the best ever held in the area. Since the clinic was held in the small town of Consort, the Red Cross felt there would, at most, only be about eighty-five people willing to donate blood so they scheduled the clinic for the evening. The clinic did not close until 12:45 A.M., when 348 pints of blood had been donated and collected. Mrs. Charles P. Knight, wife of the only medical doctor in Consort, wrote the Loyalist Church members expressing ap- preciation for sponsoring the successful clinic. She states, dealing with the success of the clinic, "Fantastic, unbelievable, something we have never seen before. How did you ever get so many people to the clinic? Many thanks for your support and I hope you will be back for next year's clinic." (MRS.)

Vernon Baptism Two young men, Jim Daniels (left) and Van Kupser (right) were baptized by Pastor Desmond Tinkler (centre) in the Vernon Church on Sabbath, January 17. Jim and Van both originated in Lumby where they went to school together. While attending evangelistic meetings in Vernon their old friendship was resumed. Given the Bible Speaks course by Brother Fedu- senko of Kelowna, Jim in turn enrolled Van in the course and encouraged him to make his decision for baptism and join him in this sacred rite. Jim and Van be- came charter members of the new Rich- land (Cherryville) Church which was or- ganized January 24 with 32 charter mem- bers. DESMOND E. TINKLER, Pastor 95 1969 will go down in history as the biggest year yet in sales for your Book and Bible House. Although our fiscal year does not end till March 31, we believe our sales will be close to $180,000. This gives us reason to rejoice, not be- cause we make a lot of money, (we don't, our commissions are too low) but because more and more people are en- joying good literature. There is no doubt about it, good literature makes candidates for heaven. This is to say a great big THANK YOU to everyone who patronized and supported your Book and Bible House throughout 1969. We especially say thank you to the Lay Activities Secretaries in each church. You have been a real help. Some years ago Elder Frank White started having sales in the churches each fall. This work has grown each year. Since many people ask us how the sales in their church compares with other churches, we are glad to publish the list for the past four years only.

W. E. BERGEY, Manager Book and Bible House Five-day Plan Is Top Adventist News Story WASHINGTON, D.C. - The top news story of 1969 involving Seventh-day Advent- ists was the Five-day Plan to Stop Smoking. The high interest in the plan is indicated by a steady flow of people enrolling in the course, and the hundreds of news clippings describing their struggles to kick the habit. Adventist leaders estimate that during 1969 at least 300,000 people have tried the plan in the United States. Of this number re- search indicates about 75 percent drastically reduce their smoking or quit altogether. The Five-day Plan has also received extensive radio and television coverage. - General Conference Bureau of Public Relations VoL. 39, No. 5, FEBRUARY 23, 1970 Dan Basaraba (centre) top man in deliveries for British Columbia.

LENNOX, Conference Publishing Secretary Those in attendance at Rutland Literature Evangelist Rally The literature evangelists of the British Columbia Conference met January 10 and 11 at Rutland for their first rally of 1970. Elder A. N. How, president, delivered the devotional message encouraging each one to continue faithfully during 1970. Elder W. E. Bergey, Book and Bible House manager, discussed items relating to the business end of literature evangel- ism. Plans were presented for 1970, such as goals, a trip to the Pacific Press, and Elder P. G. Biy's Big Month. Fellowship is the great additional bless- ing of the Literature Ministry. Fellow- ship, first of all with the Master and secondly with our fellowmen. It is the warm hand clasp, the friendly greeting and the welcome smile that make these meetings live in our memory. God's post- men enjoy a brotherhood that grows more precious as the years go by. This past twelve months has been a year of precious blessings enabling our literature evangelists to achieve a goal never before realized in British Colum- bia. Seven souls were baptized, $109,- 708.96 worth of literature was delivered which represents a gain of 33.7% over 1969. Basaraba has canvassed for the past four years and has consistently led in deliv- eries. His grand total for four years' work is $73,730.04. This represents prayer, hard work and consistency. We salute Brother Basaraba for this very excellent record. Vanderhoof Church The Vanderhoof Church group had a very successful Ingathering campaign this year, raising a total of $460.39. Our suc- cess can be attributed to the almost 100% participation of our twenty-five members on all six nights of live carolling. This enabled us to have two groups out each night. The church school children led by Brother and Sister Lennie Robinson raised $143.00 in five nights. The children dressed in their choir robes proved to be a big success with the people contacted.

Compli- mentary copies of the September '69 Signs of the Times and Gift Bible enrolment cards were left in each home along with the regular Ingathering literature. To date we have received six requests for the Gift Bibles with studies. These are being fol- lowed up by members visiting the inter- ested contacts. For their outstanding soliciting, Sisters Dixie Robinson and Margaret Altman re- ceived Jasper Wayne awards. Sister Joan Mumford received a Golden Vanguard and Sister Marlene Gaede and Brother Bert Trussell received Silver Vanguard awards. BOB MUMFORD Lay Activities Leader Hazelton Carol Festival The Richland Seventh-day Adventist Church was organized by Pastors A. N. How and E. F. White, President and Treasurer respectively, of the B.C. Con- ference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This church is located about forty miles east of Vernon, B.C. At pres- ent they meet in a small building that was purchased a number of years ago from the local school division. More than ten years ago Brother Goth- ard Johnson from Kelowna began work- ing in this community doing lay preach- ing, giving Bible studies, et cetera. He was very pleased to be able to attend this or- ganization meeting. Brother and Sister Alfred Burgemaster from Lavington, about ten miles east of Vernon have kept the Sabbath School in operation for several years. Mrs. Burge- master has spent many hours and days preparing material for the children's divi- sion. They have made many trips to the community in evenings for Bible studies. The ground work done by Brother Johnson, Brother and Sister Burgemaster, and local pastors through the years brought forth good fruit during the series of meetings held in Vernon in November and December of 1969. People from this area came to the meetings and nineteen were baptized from the Richland district. It was a happy day for the local pastor, D. E. Tinkler, and the laymen who have laboured so faithfully to build up a church there. The first elder elected by the charter members is Herbert L. Boring. As the representative of the new church, Brother Boring received a communion set from the B.C. Conference presented by Pas- tor E. White, the Secretary-Treasurer of the conference. May God richly bless this new church. The Richland Church Organized L. R. KRENZLER, PR Secretary, B.C. Conference The Hazelton Church School was rep- resented for the first time at the annual Carol Festival held December 17, 1969, in the auditorium of the local high school. All the different schools of the area and several churches and other groups par- ticipated. Rena Blabey, Wendy Shoop and Judy Bennett sang, "A Beautiful Star" and many favourable comments were heard, bringing publicity to our school. We appreciate the efforts of the girls' tzacher, Leona Maker, who did so much to make this a success. VoL. 39, No. 5, FEBRUARY 23, 1970 A youthful-looking editor who brings out an international youth journal with rules against saying "No" to persons, es- pecially youth, who want to take a drink, or experiment with drugs, visited five Ad- ventist churches and public schools in three cities. He is Francis A. Soper, Washington, D.C., editor of Listen, a polished-looking, tightly edited monthly, which aims at the prevention of narcotics problems, primar- ily among young people. "We accept the same concept of what constitutes narcotics as does the medical profession," Soper says, "and this includes alcohol as well as other drugs more com- monly thought of purely as narcotics. "Our purpose," affirms Mr. Soper, "is not to say 'No' to young people in re- gard to narcotics use. Our job is to point out through facts the dangers in the use of these dangerous things. "Young people most often begin the the use of narcotics through their natural 97 desire for adventure and experimentation. They don't know the dangers — that's our job, to give them the facts before they start," states Editor Soper. In his never-ending attempt to give youth the facts, Soper ranges the United States, Canada, and scores of overseas countries interviewing governors, prime ministers, top athletes youth personal- ities, physicians, researchers, and others. A firm believer in the ability of teen- agers to make correct decisions for them- selves if they are given all the facts, Soper believes that in many ways the younger set is setting a much better ex- ample than their parents. "I'm frankly tired of hearing adults de- ploring drinking among young people to- day," he says. "They either stand aghast or they close their eyes to it. "But if adults were honest they would realize that there is a reason why so many of our youth drink," Editor Soper de- clares. "The young people hear their par- ents declare that there cannot be a suc- Francis Soper, (left) editor of Listen Magazine is showing a copy of the latest Listen Magazine to R. H.

They also showed films and answered questions in public high schools in Nanaimo and Prince- ton, and Pastor Soper spoke to the students at the Deer Lake Adventist School. cessful party without drinking. They see their parents follow the almost absolute custom of the cocktail hour at every party. "The refrigerator is crammed with beer, the buffet table sports a variety of hard liquor labels. How can parents ex- pect their children to leave alone some- thing they don't have the backbone to leave alone themselves!" A commentary on the trend of our times, states Mr. Soper, is that many teen- agers are today banding together in clubs in order to find ways to help their own alcoholic parents. In many places young people are setting the example instead of the parents, the editor says. Mr. Soper feels that if the purposes of his magazine are served, and some day he hopes to see them fully served, "we will put thousands of law enforcement officials, jail keepers, vice squad officers, wardens and officials of mental institu- tions out of jobs." "And in the process we will be build- ing a stronger nation through youth who have had opportunity to see all the facts about the weakening and destroying hab- its of narcotics use." Weddings ROGERS-BERGEY The Mission City Seventh-day Adventist Church was the scene of a pretty wedding when Lois Bergey became the bride of Stan Rogers of Armstrong. The bride was attended by her two sisters, Karen and Leanne, and her cousin, Bernice Vatcher. The soloist was Brenda Holden of Hussar, Al- berta. Mr. David Rogers was best man. The service was commenced by Elder A. N. How and completed by Elder W. E. Bergey, father of the bride. God's blessing is wished on the newly married couple as they establish a new Christian home at College Place, Washington. A. N. How EDWARDS-BUCHANAN Miss Lynn Dona Buchanan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Buchanan of Oshawa, Ontario and Mr. Gary Earnest Edwards, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earnest Edwards, of Monroe, Michigan, were united in marriage in St. George's Church, Oshawa, Ontario, on January 11, 1970. Dr. Daniel Augsburger performed the ceremony. The cou- ple will reside in Baltimore, Maryland, where the bridegroom is studying at John Hopkins University. � DANIEL A. AUGSBURGER, Ph.D. Department of Religion Andrews University TILSTRA-ANDERSON On the afternoon of December 14, 1969, Joyce Anderson and Adolph Tilstra were united in marriage at a beautiful little inn, The Steak House, at Gallagher Lake.

MESSENGER DATES Deadline for copy � Date of Issue Feb. 23 � March 9 March 9 � March 23 March 23 � April 6 Vol... 39, No. 5, FEBRUARY 23, 1970 � 99 Introducing Editors of New Youth Magazine Three editors have plunged into work on the new Adventist youth magazine with an eye toward the Spring publication date. The new weekly—Insight (see below)—is slated for birth on May 5, 1970, with bold new format and content. The size will be small — approximately 5% by 8 inches — and two- colour will be used throughout. Don Yost is sharing editorial responsibilities with Chuck Scriven, 24, and Pat Horning, 23. Yost, formerly associate editor of the Review and Herald, has a varied background in both journalism and youth work. He has served as a youth pastor, assistant secretary in the General Conference MV De- partment, and taught on both academy and college levels. He holds a master's degree in magazine journalism from American University and has completed classwork for a doctorate in communications from Syracuse University. Scriven, a 1966 graduate of Walla Walla College who also holds a B.D. from Andrews University, spent the summer of 1967 working with Andrews University's The London Group around Trafalgar Square. Before accepting the call to Washing- ton he was a ministerial intern in the Upper Columbia Con- ference. The summer before graduation from Southern Missionary College in 1968, Miss Horning served as the first editorial intern at the Review and Herald Publishing Association. She was assistant editor of Liberty prior to her appointment. Four young people — two academy students and two college students — are serving on the editorial board. Charles Bliss and Janice Ho1st, both seniors, are Takoma Academy students; James Gallagher, sophomore English major, and Pamela Palm- er, senior elementary education major, attend Columbia Union College. These representatives will serve for one year. Campus representatives will also be selected to report the pulsebeat and news events of their individual schools. Approximately 2,000 youth will have opporttinity to sound off on editorial content through a direct-mail questionnaire that will solicit responses, not only from students in Adventist Editors Don Yost, Pat Horning and Chuck Scriven discuss the format of the new Adventist youth magazine. academies and colleges, but also from those not in school or on non-Adventist campuses. A wide cross section will be in- cluded in the sampling. The magazine will include a variety of subject matter. Because living the life of Christ embraces the whole of life, the maga- zine will treat the whole of life. Article topics will range from religion to contemporary secular culture. The only proviso is that, whatever the subject, articles express the rational of Biblical Christianity. A guideline for prospective writers is available on request. Also in progress is a writing contest for college students. Five categories include: feature article, personal experience, opinion, shorter writing, and miscellaneous. Grand award is $100; 1st, $75; 2nd $55; 3rd, $35. Further information can be obtained from college English and journalism teachers. Name Chosen for New Youth Magazine . . . The name Insight has been selected for the new Adventist youth magazine, which will make its debut May 5. The name was selected by a committee of nine judges from more than 3,400 entries in the "Help the Happening" contest. Winner of the $100 first prize is Miss Kit Watts, 26, of Ade1phi, Mary- land, who was the first of 25 persons to submit Insight. Second and third prizes go to two students of Southern Missionary College. Mike Foxworth, 21, collects $50 for entering Impact, and John Eggenberger receives $25 for Dimension. After the judging committee narrowed the choice down to twelve names, Kaaren, staff research assistant, surveyed more than 600 students and adults on their name preference. The prize-winning names were well accepted by those tested. Voice of Prophecy Adds Two-Colour Press It is a pleasure to announce to Voice of Prophecy listeners and friends that a Miller Perfector two-colour press has been installed in the Printing Department, making it possible to print more of the Bible lessons and other materials in col- our.
