SiA/e Verses Are Set to Music
Sabbath school memory verses for 1977 kindergarten and primary classes have been set to music by Wayne Hooper, music director at The Voice of Prophecy. They are available from Adventist Book Centers in a 64-page song book and recorded on a 60-minute cassette.
“Music is a very powerful force in our world today,” says Hooper. “Children easily learn the singing commercials after hearing them once or twice. We remember for a long time what we learn in a song. Such a natural tendency should be put to the best possible use—memorizing precious Bible verses.”
Hooper notes that even the Bible references are set to music. He suggests that if children are taught these memory verse songs, they will remember them the rest of their lives.
The cassette recording includes the 52 memory verses for 1977. Soloists are Wayne Hooper, Colene Schwandt, Pat Taylor, and Maurita Thornburgh. They are accompanied by Calvin Taylor on the piano, celeste and harpsichord.

"Those who ore partakers of Christ's love have no right to think that there is a limit to their influence and work in trying to benefit humanity. Did Christ become weary in His efforts to save fallen man? Our work is to be continuous and persevering. We shall find work to do until the Master shall bid us lay our armor at His feet. God is a moral governor, and we must wait, submissive to His will, ready and willing to spring to our duty whenever work needs to be done."

Should Jesus continue to de-'TSJ^THTs coming, there will not be another 13th Sabbath on Christmas Day until 1984. So why not give this Christmas Sabbath as though it were your last opportunity to do something special for Jesus on the day which the world sets aside to recognize His birth!
South America is depending upon that kind of gift.
Court Reporters Get a Sabbath Provision
Court reporters who wish to take the California Certified Shorthand Reporters license exam will have the opportunity next May.
For several years Seventhday Adventists have been unable to obtain licenses to serve as court reporters because the state examination has always been given on Saturday. Moreover, the CSR Board has refused to make any accommodation, insisting that to do so would be an unbearably difficult burden.
Earnest appeals from Adventist applicants, and negotiations by the religious liberty department have both been futile in the past, but the Holy Spirit has been working in our renewed efforts. The CSR Board has announced a special exam for Sabbath observers.
Every trained court reporter wishing to take this license ex-

Communications Center Elects New President
Newly elected as president of the Seventh-day Adventist Radio, Television and Film Center in Thousand Oaks is Elder Robert R. Frame, president of the Australasian Division.
He will replace Elder Alvin G. Munson who is retiring December 31, after serving as president of the Center during the past five years.
Located on a 19-acre plot in Thousand Oaks, the Adventist Radio, Television and Film Center plans call for a five-building complex when it is completed. The central building now houses the It Is Written, Faith for Today, Audio Visual Service, and Breath of Life components, as well as general offices, filming and recording studios, accounting and printing departments, computer and mailing services.
A total of 3,505 radio and television programs are aired weekly throughout the world at the present time.

“With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the whole world!”
So challenged Ellen White more than half a century ago. And still Adventist youth cry out for that training, especially in South America where there is no secondary Adventist school in all of Chile.
Only about 30 per cent of the young people in Chile attend high schools, which are mostly privately operated, many of them by Roman Catholics. Of those who do attend, only one per cent graduate. Adventist youth are calling for a school where they may learn more about God and enter His work.
Northeast Brazil College, on the other hand, has been preparing pastors and evangelists for more than three decades. However, in these more than 30 years, the school has never

Adventist Christmas gifts on 13th Sabbath will be divided between these two projects—a theology building at Northeast Brazil College and an entirely new academy at Los Angeles, Chile.
What is the significance of the 13th Sabbath offering anyway? On the 12 regular Sabbaths of each quarter, Adventist Sabbath school mission offerings go for the general needs in the 193 countries of the world where Adventists are engaged in educational, medical, literature, and/or evangelistic work.
On the four 13th Sabbath of the year, four of the world’s 10 geographical divisions are benefited in a special way, usually with new or expanding work. In other words, gifts of overflow proportions are given to a specific place.

grouped at the fairgrounds in Costa Mesa November 21 to display the booths of crafts and projects they have been working on throughout the year.
The grand parade got under way at 10:30 a.m. with floats made by the Pathfinders themselves, drill teams in full dress,
and an equestrian drill team from Newbury Park Adventist Academy, all marching to the drums and brass of the Pine Springs Ranch Band. The Vista Samoan Club drill team and the equestrian team demonstrated drill techniques.
Around 3,000 young people, their parents and friends, watched and participated in such events as cake decorating and grab bag games, checked out the booths and sampled the food.
Sweepstakes winner was the Ramona Club with the highest point accumulation for a year of participation in various activities and events.
“One Pathfinder, Toni Castro of the Indio-Oasis Palms Club, had a special, happy surprise,” commented Associate Youth Director Dan Savino. He won the drawing for the new bicycle. His first, he says.” The bicycle was a donated prize from a local merchant.

GERMAN-AMERICAN CHURCH REPORTS—Bible studies have opened for some five to 10 individuals as a result of the recent series of meetings held in the church. Some five to 15 non-members plus five more from within the church family were among those who attended. Future plans call for strengthening the musical part of the program and giving the material in two languages—German and English. A community testing program with the health van will also be tried, to draw attention to the series.
FAMILY FILM NIGHT—The travelogue series at the Glendale City church will have Sherman Nagel, MD, as its guest December 31. The 7:30 p.m. appearance of Dr. Nagel will climax in the presentation of his summer trip to Korea, entitled "South to the Ax-Murders of Panmunjom." The Family Film Night is part of a Saturday night slide program series sponsored by Dr. Stanton Mays.
BURBANK SPANISH CRUSADE ENDS-Pastor Miguel A. Cerna's church was organized one Sabbath and opened an evangelistic crusade the next. Some 30 individuals have been baptized so far and another 30 have asked for admittance into the baptismal class. Held on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Saturday nights, the crusade found an average of 60 visitors present. One more baptism scheduled for this month is expected to push the year's total baptized into the church to 50.

RECENT STUDIES IN NUTRITION and physiology are producing some radical changes in the medical management of certain diseases—ulcers, for instances.
For many years, ulcer patients have been given milk or cream every hour with antacids in between, or as they improved, bland foods three times a day with milk between meals. The objective was to neutralize the excess stomach acid characteristic of ulcer patients.
However, by charting the acid level in the stomachs of ulcer patients and normal people, it has been demonstrated that introducing food into the stomach stimulates the production of acid.
Clinical tests prove that this is exactly what happens. The acid is never neutralized except during the night after the stomach has been allowed to rest for several hours. This indicates that ulcer patients should not take any food late in the evening. A glass of water before retiring can help to relieve discomfort that interferes with going to sleep.
Other studies have demonstrated that ulcer patients make a better recovery on a normal diet than on a bland diet.
The fact that ulcers did heal under the older regimen illustrates the human body's wonderful capacity to restore itself in spite of ill-advised treatment.

"Water, Water, Water"—The scientific use of water will be shown and demonstrated. Each student will be shown how to promote health and prevent disease through the use of water. This class will include such topics as how to avoid the common cold, how to cope with stress, how to deal with pain, how to slow the aging process.
Stress—Today's society is causing emotional stresses and strains that are becoming increasingly more difficult to cope with. Those in this class will be informed on how to deal with jealousy, resentment, depression, guilt, frustration. This will help each student to handle not only his own problems, but be of help to others. Dr. Guy Cochran of Mountain View has been very successful in attracting people into his classes on stress and then leading them into the Church. Why not learn more about his methods?
Heartbeat—This is a scientific screening program of blood tests and medical history which can determine one's susceptability to coronary disease. But more than this, the physician may
advise one with a high risk factor how he can reduce his risk through a remedial program. The purpose of this class will be to show how health care teams can be trained to effectively carry on this community service.
Five-Day Plan—Millions have taken this plan and have kicked tobacco. Without question, the Five-Day Plan has done more to break down prejudice and make friends for the Church than any other plan. This class will bring students up to date on new tools, visual aids, advertising and new approaches and teaching methods that will make the program even more effective.
Cooking Schools—Today there is a health emphasis explosion. More people than ever are interested in physical fitness, vegetarian cooking, reducing the scientific way. This class is designed to meet the demands of those who want help in weight reduction, preparing foods and trimming up the body. Latest methods of teaching and attracting people will be presented by Stoy Proctor, who is an expert in this field.

Mary Burgess Conduits Instructor's Cooking School
Mary Burgess, author of Soul to Soul, a new vegetarian cookbook, recently conducted an Instructors’ Cooking School for 23 persons at the Elmhurst church in Oakland.
Born into a Texas family of 16 children, Mrs. Burgess has what she calls a “poverty-and-hardship background.” As a child, she was designated the family cook, and her ingenuity was manifest in the dishes she prepared.
An Adventist since 1973, Mrs. Burgess enthusiastically passes on to her classes the nutritious, yet economical menus from her past. She says she is able to feed her family of four on only $5 a week with a one-acre garden.
Some new and tasty dishes demonstrated at the Oakland class contained cactus (a bit like okra). Other dishes contained Mrs. Burgess’ vegetarian “burger,” using bulgur wheat.
At the class’ culminating banquet, to which students were invited to bring guests, most class members said they
plan to conduct cooking schools in their neighborhoods.
Mildred Bailey, wife of the superintendent of the Inner City Neighborhood Garden Club in Oakland, believes the recipes and demonstrations will be especially helpful to families who plant and harvest in the 80-plot garden center. These plots are in an area of Oakland which has an unemployment rate of about 40 per cent.
The Instructors’ Cooking Class was jointly sponsored by the Elmhurst Church and Northern’s Inner City Department. Enid Hunter, wife of the Vallejo Berea Church pastor, assisted in the instruction.
Through outreach programs such as this, it is hoped neighbors in the Inner City communities will be led into a deeper understanding of the love of God and the principles upon

Laymen of the Placerville Church are welcoming the first fruits of their recent, united soul-winning endeavors. Pastor John Sharp baptized 12 new members into the church family in November.
Laymen began their evangelism efforts with “soul consciousness, an awareness that many persons are honestly searching to know and understand God.
With this awareness, laymen then became involved in a variety of witnessing activities: home Bible studies, the Gift Bible Plan, bringing persons to the pastor’s Bible class and evangelistic meetings, home fel

Happily, the circle of “soulconscious” laymen is enlarging in Placerville, and the number of interested persons continues to increase. One recently baptized member commented on these activities: “You get to know people so much better when you’re invited to their home, and it really makes you feel wanted in the church.”

"Mary's Song" Being Presented

Workers' Meeting Is Scheduled for January 9-13
Ministerial and office workers of the Nevada-Utah Conference will meet in Reno January 9-13 for a Conference-wide workers’ meeting.
There will be three special areas of emphasis at this meeting. The first centers around the Witnessing Manual and the organization of churches for a
greater soul-winning thrust. Pacific Union Lay Activities Director Clinton Shankel will lead out in this very important program.
Shirley Burton will offer a 10-hour course in communications. Course participants may receive college credit through Pacific Union College. Credit
This booth witnessed at Jaycee State Fair.
will also be extended for the Academy of Adventist Ministers offered by the General Conference.
Very often when we endeavor to have evangelistic meetings and the community does not respond, it could well be traced to the fact that the churches had no effective public relations program, and as such, had not developed the interests as they should have been. It is believed this course will be an aid to all of our field workers.
Elder Jim Cunnington will also be with us to discuss stewardship in the local church.
Many other special features will be presented. There will be a brief period when workers can share ideas for communicating the gospel more effectively.
The meetings will begin Sunday evening and close Thursday at noon so everyone can be back home for the Sabbath.
I encourage our constituency to pray for this very important gathering that a more effective outreach can be made.
A. G. Streifling, President Nevada-Utah Conference

Las Vegas Sponsors Fair Booth
Phoenix Spanish
The Phoenix Spanish Church has a lovely new building but until recently, had no sign to identify it.
Church treasurer Leonardo Vega and Jose Schmied were commissioned by the church board to explore the possibilities of obtaining a sign, although there were no funds available for that purpose.
The Mardian Construction Company, where Vega works, graciously donated all the materials, the paint was donated by Schmied, and the Arias fam-
Gets New Sign ily (Sergei, Merlyn and Adelia) painted and lettered the sign.
Now the new Spanish church at 4408 North 35th Avenue is readily identifiable with an attractive new sign—and all at no cost to the church.

January 3
This year the Las Vegas Central Church again had a booth at the Jaycee State Fair in Las Vegas November 3-7. Calvin and Lucille Harkey planned and decorated the booth, following a Bicentennial theme.
At one side was a large silver dollar emphasizing “In God We Trust.” In the center was a large poster with crossed flags and the slogan “One Nation Under God.”
The other side portrayed the Bible, pointing to God’s Word.
Quietly the background music of “God Bless America” was played to entice people’s interest. Free literature was distributed to interested fairgoers.
A lady took a copy of about everything there to send to five boys on death row in Africa.
She didn’t offer any further information.
A Sunday school teacher took a copy of each, to help her in her work. A minister wanted to see how the booth was put together so he could try one next year.
A newly-converted girl accepted several books on the life of Christ for further study.
Twenty other members of the congregation helped to man the booth and Pastor Ken Wilber also helped.
Altogether there were about 1,530 pieces of literature distributed. About 900 were tracts and the rest were books authored by Ellen White.
Consistent Life" Makes Ingathering Effective
Consecration to Christ can reap rewards posthumously, as Ethel Higgins can testify.
On Sabbath, December 4, Mrs. Higgins placed a tithe envelope marked “Ingathering” in the offering plate of the Bisbee Church. Inside were 25 $20 bills. This gift was inspired by the life of a deceased Adventist and Mrs. Higgins’ conduct while she worked at the Fort Huachuca Army Base.
The gift bearer, who wishes to remain anonymous, approached Mrs. Higgins with the surprise gift, asking only a suggestion of category where the gift could be best used.
The Bisbee Church members gave glory to God and determined to continue the Ingathering program with a renewed effort to win souls.
Stories such as this are thrilling because it is not often that one receives a $500 contribution from large business places, much less from an average income person such as the nonmember donor above.
There are two factors worth considering here: First, there are still people in this world, even ordinary people, who are willing to give large sums of money to God. Second, they will choose to give it to God through the Adventist Church if ... .
How many times all of us who have done Ingathering have been told, “Oh, yes, I know -----------,” or “I had a friend
in---------who was a member
of your church,” and then they would gladly give?
Good public relations pays. TV spots help. Newspaper articles telling about our disaster and community service work have a good effect, but “A consistent life, characterized by the meekness of Christ, is a power in the world.” Desire of Ages, 142.
From those who know us, how much will be given to the Church’s Ingathering program this year?

Final Series Baptism Has an Ocean Setting
Ocean setting for the November 20 Waianae baptism made the total 10 for an evangelistic series of meetings held October 2-November 19.
Mission Evangelist Ed Huston was assisted by Pastor Doug Motsenbocker and Bible instructor Ben Leialoha. Ministering to the children were Iwalani Fuller and her helpers. Lending strong support with their music were the Hawaiian King’s Men.
Faithfulness of many members in preparation for the meetings and continued support throughout the entire six weeks contributed to the success of the series.
The working of the Holy Spirit was felt, and several are studying further and anticipating baptism in the near future.

Darlynn, who spent a year and a half working at the mission as a ward clerk, Bible worker and elementary school teacher, decided to set up Christmas drop boxes in the PUC residence halls and Angwin Plaza.
She advertised by word of mouth and by placing announcements in the church bulletin and on bulletin boards. “I can’t believe the response we have been getting. We’ve really been praying about it,” she says.
However, she says that her original transportation plans have fallen through; she still needs a large truck to haul the goods. “I have faith that we will find something.”
She would like to leave for the mission later this month for the 20-hour, 1,300-mile drive from the pine-clad slopes of Angwin to the canyons and plateaus of the reservation.

“richly rewarding experience.” Tent and board will be provided and the students will earn 12 hours of college credit.
Church missionary work in the Marshall Islands, which are located several hundred miles east of the Philippines, began about eight years ago. This fall two student missionaries from PUC, Gary Galusha and Charles Hilliard, were teaching at the Majuro Elementary School when they became aware of an acute need for a church.
Galusha and Hilliard cleared some land and constructed the foundation with concrete blocks. They contacted Prof. Pontynen about the need and he agreed to take six students
to finish the construction. Pontynen is currently on a year’s leave of absence.
Twelve students applied for the adventure in construction and six were recently selected by the Student Missions Committee of the PUC Church.
They are: Peter Roesler, an industrial education major; Rod Sterling, a biology major; Guy Guilfoy, a physical science major; Rick Neff, a pre-medical student; Gary Amundson, a physical education/industrial arts major; and Steve Nicola, a physical therapy major.
They will depart January 15 and return in time for spring quarter classes at PUC.
