to Elder E. L. Becker, associate auditor of
the Pacific Union Conference. The award
was given in recognition of outstanding
achievement by Elder Becker in his profession.
his receiving the highest score in the
state on his Certified Public Accountant
examination, an ordeal of three day's
duration. There were more than 600
people writing the examination in which
Elder Becker received the top score.
In addition to the Forbes Medal,
Elder Becker is also the possessor of a
C.P.A. certificate. To obtain the certificate the candidate must have spent an
apprenticeship of three years on the
staff of a C.P.A. doing a variety of accounting work. In view of the outstanding work Elder Becker has done as
an associate auditor for the Pacific
Union, working with Pacific Union
Auditor James Howarth, the apprenticeship requirement was waived after working papers and other accounting records
showing the high standard of accounting procedure being followed in the
Pacific Union were studied by members
of the C.P.A. examining board.
Elder Becker has held his post as
associate auditor in the Pacific Union
since 1953. Previously he was treasurer
of the Voice of Prophecy from 1951 to
1953; treasurer of the Philippine Union
with headquarters in Manila from 1949
to 1951; associate auditor of the Far
Eastern Division from 1946 to 1949;
chief accountant at Washington Sanitarium and Hospital in 1940; assistant
manager of Porter Sanitarium and Hospital from 1936 to 1940. Elder Becker
served six years with the United States
Army Quartermaster and Transportation Corps during World War II, in
the U.S., Africa, and Europe. He rose
to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel during his service. He is a member of the
National Association of Cost Accountants.
Elder Becker was born in Brainerd,
Minnesota, in 1910 and received his
B.A. degree from Rider College, Trenton, New Jersey. The Beckers have a
daughter, Paula, who is a student at
La Sierra College, Arlington, California.

As I pulled my car up to the curb

my eyes were drawn to a pitiful figure

lying on the warm sidewalk in the hot
sun, his body was trembling violently
from head to foot. It was a wretched
sight, so the crowd walked around him
without much more than a casual
glance. Being only a chaplain my knowledge of what to do for physical ills was
somewhat limited, but still I thought I
should do something. How did this
situation differ in any great respect from
that which the good Samaritan faced
on the Jericho road?
As I stepped over by the boy, a crowd
began to gather around. While pondering just what I should do, I heard a
man come running from across the
street. It was plain to see that he was

stricken boy, and his manner indicated
plainly that he knew just exactly what
needed to be done. When the crowd
had made way for him, he jerked off
his dirty old shoe and placed it under
the nose of the boy. As this didn't seem
to have too much effect, a lady standing nearby began to plead urgently for
someone to give her some keys. Seeing
my questioning look, she explained that
the young man was having an attack of
epilepsy, and everyone in this part of
the world knew that there were two
sure cures for that particular malady.
Either put a shoe under the victim's
nose, or else, better yet, place a bunch
of keys in his hand.
A quick check indicated that no one
had any keys but myself, and I decided
not to give mine up since I had very
little faith in the recommended cure.
Finally someone in the crowd said to
me, "Why don't you take him to the
hospital?" Now according to the listings
in the phone book, there are a great
number of medical institutions in this
largest city of Pakistan, but when someone says merely "the hospital," then
they are referring to the finest and most
modern one in the town—the Seventhday Adventist Hospital. This was what
I had been planning myself, so I asked
two of the men to lift him into the back
seat of the car. As I started to close
the door there was quite a protest because he didn't have a bunch of keys
in his hand to keep him going until he
arrived at the hospital. Finally they
said they would settle for any piece of
iron; however, in the end, they had to
settle for nothing. They looked pretty
worried as I drove off.
As I swung my car into the driveway
alongside the beautiful, modern, threestory hospital building, I could not but
be thrilled because we had such a place
to help alleviate the suffering and
misery all around. The young boy told
us, through an interpreter, that he had
been subject to epileptic attacks, and
while having one of them he had lost
several rupees his mother had given
him with which to purchase some articles. When he arrived home without
the money he was driven out of his
home, so he had had to sleep in the
cold on the sidewalk along with the
hundreds of homeless who do so every
night. Since he had no coat or blanket
he had developed chills which persisted
even into the heat of the morning.
After treating him and giving him some
medicine to take along, as well as a
little money, we then arranged to send
him home where we hoped he might,
this time, receive a more favorable
reception. Had he needed hospitalization, he would have been admitted even
though he was unable to pay for such
services.
One day I saw a man lying stripped
to the waist in the middle of the busiest
market in town, while another person
carefully measured him with a dirty
piece of string. In this country, many
believe that abdominal pains result from
ones navel "getting out of joint," and
this man was measuring as best he could
to see if this was the case! My heart
crys out as I see the great number of
wretched cripples in the streets daily,
and then realize that with proper medical attention most of them could be
healed. How thankful I am that our
denomination has seen fit to establish this fine medical institution in the
capital city of Pakistan. With its consecrated Christian staff of workers it is
gaining a reputation all through this
part of the world.
While hundreds of patients pay
standard medical fees, thousands receive
equal care on a charity basis. Last year
over 40,000 souls were attended by
the institution. More than 2,000 minor
and major surgical cases were cared for
at the hospital, and approximately $42,600 of charity work was done during
the year.
Surely you, too, dear fellow believer,
must feel a bit of a thrill as you realize
that your liberal giving was instrumental
in making such a thing possible. God
has so blessed; the work has so grown,
that now we are being forced to expand.
May we count on your continued prayers and gifts as we move ahead according to the Lord's leading?

New Plan for Handling Voice
of Prophecy Fair Displays
The Voice of Prophecy is pleased to
be able to bring out a new display this
summer for use in the fairs across the
country. We also have a new system
for handling these displays.
The display itself is not large, only
5 feet wide and 3 feet high, which
makes it easy to work in with almost
any design. The displays have been
prepared by one of America's top pro-
3
PACIFIC UNION RECORDER
fessional display manufacturers. They
are very colorful, and ship and handle
easily.
Our new plan for handling these displays is to assign one or more to each
union. For the Pacific Union, Elder
D. L. Olsen is in charge of them. Any
worker or responsible church leader
who desires to have the use of one of
these displays should contact him.
Upon request, The Voice of Prophecy
will supply radio logs and enrollment
cards for free distribution wherever a
display is used. To obtain these supplies, write to Elder D. V. Pond, Box
1511, Glendale 5, California, well in
advance of the opening date of the fair.

"A Time to Be Serious"
Shortly before Elder A. G. Daniells
entered his last illness, he spoke most
earnestly in one of our California
churches on world conditions and the
importance of our individual preparation for the end of all things. The
words of this former General Conference president are even more applicable
now than when they were spoken.
Here, are a few lines that were taken
down during his sermon:
"I have a deep conviction that the
hour has come for this denomination
to take with tremendous seriousness the
situation we are facing, and the meaning of- our great message. It is time to
pray. It is time to be serious. It is time
to be true to the light God has given
us. We cannot go to church and go
through the form of service, and then
go out and prove untrue to the great
principles of truth and light entrusted
to us. We cannot play with these
things. We will go down. Ruin will
come to us and we cannot escape it.
"It is time for us to turn to God's
Word and become more earnest readers
and students of it. Seventh-day Adventists today are not as familiar with
the Bible as our people were fifty years
ago. We do not read it as we did then.
(Continued on page 8)
"There is nothing that Christ desires
so much as agents who will represent to
the world His Spirit and character.
There is nothing that the world needs
so much as the manifestation through
humanity of the Saviour's love."

The publications on display were a wonderful means of presenting our literature attractively to the general public.
Over 200,000 people visited .the
eleventh annual State Fair; many thousands enjoyed looking through the
beautifully illustrated pages of the Bible
Stories and nearly 800 people signed
the cards, showing an interest in knowing more about the books. The local
colporteurs will keep busy calling at
the homes of these people during the
next few weeks.
Every evening one volume was given
away to a happy winner in a 'free drawing. A majority of these people, after
having been presented with one free
book, were interested in completing the
set by purchasing the remaining nine
volumes.
It is our prayer that the many contacts made during this 49th State Fair
may result in a strengthening of the
understanding of the purpose of our
literature work on our island as well as
in the ultimate aim of bringing the
understanding of God's final message to
our people.

Why a Christian Boarding
School?
"Parents, inaction is the greatest
curse that ever came upon youth."
Fundamentals of Christian Education,
p. 36.
"All the powers of the mind should
be called into use and developed, in
order for men and women to have wellbalanced minds. . . . In order to pre. serve the balance of the mind, labor
and study should be united in the
schools." Ibid., pp. 37, 38.
As one looks over the "blueprint," he
• finds much in the counsel given to the
remnant church that recommends the
boarding school. A number of quotations could be cited giving counsel as to
location, studies, industries, recreation,
food, aims, purposes, etc., that, if followed, would provide a nearly ideal
Christian school. However, the two
quotations cited above contain statements that reveal sufficiently the value
of the Christian boarding school. Notice,
the greatest curse upon youth, inaction;
one of the greatest needs, balance.
The boarding school definitely provides the cure for inaction, and in accomplishing this, it serves the positive
need for presenting a balanced program
for the youth. When the servant of the
Lord defined Christian education as the
"harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers" (Education, p. 13), she was speaking of balance. This balance forbids the
over-development of the mental to the
exclusion of the physical. It decries
both the neglect and the over-emphasis
of the social. Furthermore, this "harmonious" balance reveals that the nature
of each of these phases of activity should
not be such as to violate or hamper the
development of the other. For example,
an education cannot be said to be "harmonious" if the social activities impair
the mental development. Nor could it
be declared a "balanced" program if
any activity, physical, mental, or social,
were to run counter to the spiritual
development of the youth. A youth
cannot be told in his classroom of the
evolutionary development of the earth
and then worship the Creator with his
parents and ever hope to have a "harmonious" or "balanced" development.
A brief glance at a day's activities at
Newbury Park Academy reveals how
the curse of inaction is defeated while
a "balanced" or "harmonious" development is being attained: Up early, for
the greatest of man's needs is met first
when the youth assemble in their respective worship rooms to begin their
day with God. Following this a hearty
breakfast awaits the growing young
people. This meal, along with the
others, is enjoyed in a spacious dining
room with large picture windows which
reveal the rugged grandeur of the mountains across the valley. At 7:30 the
youth assemble in their respective
classes to meet the mental challenges of
the day. Throughout the morning, the
classes spell out "harmony" as each
teacher, whether of history, science,
English, or Bible, reveals that his God
is the Creator.
Following a welcome dinner, the
students turn to that phase of their
activity which develops the physical,
and in many instances aids them in
putting to use their mental and spiritual
attainments. Many of them "learn,
earn, and grow" as they take up the
work in the dairy, poultry, orchard, or
garage. Others are found beautifying
the campus, while the older and more
mature are seen in the skilled industry
of broommaking. Girls are heard singing joyously as they work in the laundry, while still others are learning of
true Christianity while making a good
loaf of bread.
When work is done and supper is
finished, the day may provide for- recreational activity in which all may participate. Again the youth meet with
their deans at the going down of the
sun, once more to unite their voices
in praise to the wonderful God who
gave to them health and vigor. They
are led to see that the schools of the
prophets were such schools as these,
and they go to their rooms to meet the
challenge of the next day's assignments.
As they kneel in prayer before their
night of rest, mother and dad are not
forgotten, nor is little sister or 'brother.
How can the activities of Newbury
Park Academy be summarized? Two
words provide the answer, "balance"
and "harmony."
"The world is full of one-sided men
and women, who have become such because one set of their faculties was cultivated, while others were dwarfed from
inaction." Fundamentals of Christian
Education, p. 37. This imbalance and
"one-sidedness" is obviously not the
result of a balanced program. Paul's
statement is certainly applicable here:
"whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap." Galations 6:7. If the
sowing is in balance, the product will
be in balance.
Newbury Park Academy is sowing
"balance" and "harmony," and the administration and faculty are praying for
a "harmoniously developed" harvest of
young people.

Liquor Potpourri
Another Hollywood celebrity ran
afoul of the law. Her convertible ran
through the front of a restaurant. She
declared she had had "only two drinks,"
but the police arrested her for "drunk
driving." One man was nearly killed in
6
this accident, but last year 20,000 persons weren't "nearly killed"—they died
because someone had had "only two
drinks" or possibly a few. Surely Americans, and especially Seventh-day Adventists, ought to awake.
Camp meeting was a tremendous
blessing. The last Saturday night of
camp meeting was an unusual one. Two
of our young people, winners in our
oratorical contest, Lauralee Trainor and
Nathanial Dennison, gave their orations
in the main auditorium, then Elder W.
A. Scharffenberg of the General Conference spoke.
The Southern California Temperance
department has undertaken the project
of supplying Listen to the 2,000 clergymen of all faiths in our area. We believe this will be a tremendous influence on the populace of our territory
toward a fuller understanding of the
devastation that liquor (beer, wine,
whisky) is perpetrating. Elder Roy L.
Benton made the appeal for this offering and a very fine response was given.
There is still a little more needed and
we trust this will come in from the
churches and private individuals.
Now a "tavern" is a legal term. When
the "wets" agreed to a lot of things to
get the people of California duped into
repealing the Eighteenth Amendment,
one of them was that the term "tavern"
would not be used. They of course soon
flaunted this agreement, and just now
the Legislature has passed and the Governor has signed the bill making it legal
to call a bar, saloon, beer parlor, etc., a
"tavern."
Several of our ministers and two of
our academy teachers are attending the
Institute for the Prevention of Alcoholism at Loma Linda, preparing themselves for better service in dealing with
this mounting problem of liquor consumption and its ravages.
With 590,000 alcoholics plus nearly
that many more problem drinkers in
California, we have a real challenge
and responsibility. There are many
ways we can discharge this duty. We
can carry bumper strips warning motorists, we can put up highway signs such
as the large ones at Newbury and Lynwood academies, we can put up smaller

Flagstaff News
For the first time, Flagstaff had a
church school. At one time during the
year, the enrollment reached fourteen.
There are good prospects for a large
enrollment this coming year as well.
Plans are being made to make further
improvements on the school before the
next term opens in September.
Flagstaff needs a church building,
and it is hoped that in time our dreams
and prayers will become reality. At
present we meet in the Woman's Club
House in downtown Flagstaff. When
you are traveling to Grand Canyon or
Oak Creek Canyon, stop and visit us
in Flagstaff.
Two persons were baptized recently
in Flagstaff, and since we are a company, they became members of the conference church. Others are studying,

English, history, modern language, music and art, religion, and speech will be
featured in the four-week summer session which begins at La Sierra College

New Teachers Arriving
on Campus

faculty for the 1957-58 school year
have arrived on campus. Included are
Dr. Perry Beach of the music department and Dr. W. F. Tarr, new head of
the speech department. Mrs. Don Dick,

Fall Enrollment Outlook
Appears Healthy

at La Sierra College coming into the

summer.
County Approves Street
For Industrial Park
The County Planning Commissioners of Riverside recently approved the
extension of Rindge Road into college
property, a step which will provide additional frontage for the proposed industrial park east of the college campus
proper. Aero Tool Co. of Los Angeles
and La Sierra has already leased the
land for the future expansion of their
plant. The La Sierra branch currently
employs a high percentage of college
students, making it possible for the students to earn much toward their college
expenses.

"The light of the Sun of Righteousness is to shine forth in good works,—
in words of truth and deeds of holiness."
(Continued from page 3)
When I was a lad it was the universal
custom of our people to carry their •
Bibles with them to church and to
follow the minister in his sermon. They
would take down the texts and during
the following week would look them
up and study them. There was a different kind of religion among us then.
There was more Bible study, more
praying, and more witnessing. We are
not nearly as prepared, for translation
today as we were fifty years ago."
How seriously we should take Elder
Daniells' counsel as individual Christians, and as Seventh-day Adventists
who claim to be the custodians of God's
special message for this hour! We are
a busy people, too, but with more careful planning and self-denial, we could
have more time for Bible study and
prayer, and our witnessing work. It is
largely a matter of settled determina-.
Lion with each of us to make the most
of the daily opportunities that come to
us, and to let none go by without giving our testimony in some manner.
