The Rapid City Evangelistic Crusade
BY R. M. WHITSETT
The first series of the Rapid City
Evangelistic Crusade will end on
Saturday night, June 15. Sixty-three
people have taken their stand for
the Adventist message, and during
the second series we hope that they
will become members of the Rapid
City Church.
The summer series of the Evangelistic Crusade will begin Sunday
night, July 7, in the Rapid City Auditorium, and will run until September 15. If you are taking your vacation in the Black Hills this year,
attend the Evangelistic meetings in
the Auditorium on Sunday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Friday nights of
each week.
We plan another baptism in Rapid
City on June 15, and we need your
prayers that during the summer
months many more will give their de-
cision for this truth. The attendancemson from Iowa, returned to their

One of the most interesting features of the Rapid City campaign,
has been the weekly telecast over
Channel 3 of KOTA-TV. Although the
station has only one camera the telec a s t has regularly featured the
Crusade male quartet, the duet team
of Robert Link and Willard Beaman,
the solo numbers of Paul Penno, our
violinist, the organ music of Mrs.
Mary Meidinger, as well as t h e
speaker with a three-minute talk
each week. This telecast has made
an excellent impression throughout
the Black Hills area, and influenced
many to attend our meetings. We
plan to continue with another ten
television programs beginning July
7.
And now the hardest part of the
evangelistic campaign is just before
us— binding off the interest, getting
important decisions, baptizing the
fruitage, and getting new people established in the church. We do need
your continued prayers in our behalf. And if it is possible to visit in
the Black Hills area this summer,
please come to see us at the Rapid
City Auditorium.
"The Pitcairn Sails Again"
There has just come into the editorial office of the Review and Herald, a beautifully written story from
the pen of N. A. Ferris. Elder Ferris
has spent quite a period of time as
a director of our work at Pitcairn
Island and was appointed "a member of the Most Excellent Order of
the British Empire," by her Majesty,
the Queen, in 1955.
Elder Ferris tells a thrilling story
of the work on Pitcairn Island from
the time of its earliest beginnings
down to the present day, and of the
visits by our mission ship, "Pitcairn." This series of 13 articles
starts in the August 1 Review and

All United for the
Construction of Apo View
Academy
The proposed Apo View Academy
in Southern Mindanao Missio n,
Davao, Philippines, will be located
on a twenty-hectare plot of land in
Managa, Bancalan, Davao, beside
the national highway connecting the
capital cities of Davao and Cotabato,
the two largest provinces in the Philippines.
Since the organization of Southern Mindanao into a mission in January, 1950, the growing membership
has felt the need of establising our
own schools for the training of our
children and youth. Our children of
school age were attending the
schools of the world, exposed to the
temptations of the enemy. The parents struggled hard to send their
children to our far-distant colleges
and academies among the sister missions but very few could afford this.
We started our educational prog r am by opening several church
schools, which soon called for the
opening of more advanced schools.
In 1951, utilizing every means at
our command, we were able to obtain government recognition to offer the first two years of high school
at our school in Digos. Our people
were happy for this good opening.
But year by year, government regulations have become more stringent.
Deficiencies of buildings, equipment,
and ground space were pointed out.
Again and again, we were placed in
eery difficult situations. Public, private, and Catholic schools seem to
squeeze us out from the present site,
in the very center of the town of
Digos.
The prayers and tears of our people are at last to be answered. An
outsider, sympathetic to our cause,
offered his twenty-hectare lot at a
greatly reduced p r i c e. Our fine
leader of Digos church, Ruperto
Sumiced, in counsel with the miss i o n officers, signed papers. A
wealthy American Adventist couple,
coconut plantation owners, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank La Sage, provided the
money with which to pay the lot.
(This lot is ideally located away
from the disturbance of city life, free
from obnoxious odors, t h e environment tends to create a feeling of happiness and contentment in the lives
of our youth. This beautiful site is located near the center of the mission
territory. All available funds in the
mission treasury were set aside for
the project. The Far Eastern Division
assisted, giving us an amount sufficient to enable us to start the construction of our new project—Apo
View Academy in Southern Mindanao Mission. (Mount Apo is the
highest mountain peak in the Philippines. Altitude: 9,610 feet.)

Watertown Church Meets
in New Church Building
Sabbath, June 1, was a thrilling
day for the church members living
in and around Watertown, South
Dakota. It was destined to be the
day in which they met for the first
time in their new church. The day
dawned warm and clear, and soon
after 9:00 a.m. members began coming from all over the district. The
Madison and Ash Grove churches
were well represented—in fact, most
of their members were present when
Sabbath school opened at 9:45.
There were also a number of visitors
not of our faith. The church was
filled to capacity.
0.. T. Garner, president of the
South Dakota Conference, was guest
speaker during the worship hour.
The message that he brought was a
real challenge and inspiration to
each one of us and we were led to
reconsecrate our lives to the Master's
service.
The Watertown church has been
meeting for nearly half a century in
a hall over the conference office.
They have long felt the need for
larger and more suitable quarters in
which to worship. Last fall t h e
Northern Union was able to secure a
special building appropriation from
the General Conference for n e w
buildings in South Dakota, a portion
of which was made available to the
Watertown Church. At about the
same time the Evangelical United
Brethren people decided to sell their
church and build a larger one. We
managed to get together with them
and now we have a very nice brick
structure in which to worship. While
the building is far from a new one
it has been well kept and the inside
is very nice; far nicer than anything
that we could have hoped to build.
Some remodeling will be done to
make it a bit more suitable for our
needs. The new church is located at
409 North Maple Street, just one
block east and one and one-half
blocks north from the conference office.

The past year saw a healthy
growth in the Watertown district.
Twenty-nine n e w members were
added by baptism and profession of
faith. At the present time there are
a number of baptismal classes and
the prospects are good for a number
of baptisms again this year.
A strong church school program
was carried on in Watertown under
the supervision of Mrs. Emma Bjornson as teacher. We are happy that
she plans to be with us again this
coming year. If you have children of
school age and are interested in
church school, by all means investigate the possibilities at Watertown.
A good church and a good school
in a good town.
The members in Watertown, along
with those in the Madison and Ash
Grove churches, are of good courage,
and are looking forward to the finishing of the work in all the earth
so that Jesus can come and take us
to be with Him where He is. Pray
for the work in this district that we
may all be faithful to our trust and
ready to meet Him when He comes.

New Academy Principal
We are very fortunate in South
Dakota to secure the services of J.
J. Williamson as principal of Plainview Academy. Elder Williamson
was in evangelistic work for years
and for the last seven years has
been Bible teacher and in charge of
the department of evangelism at
Union College. He has had a wide
experience in our educational work
which we believe will be of help in
our Academy.
Benjamin Beck, who worked hard
at Plainview Academy, serving as
principal for the last two years, desires to continue in the teaching
field. We wish Brother Beck and his
family much success and happiness
as they leave South Dakota.
I might also state in this connection that there has been a recent
change voted by the Academy Board
in our school program. Due to the
losses in our farm through the years
we have discontinued the operation
of the farm as it has been carried
on formerly. Vernon Marsh, who did
very well as farm manager, now has
employment at Pacific Union Cal-
J. J. Williamson
lege. Other changes have been made
to reduce the salary load and expenses at the school.
Our school is now accredited with
the Educational Department of the
State of South Dakota and we are
making definite plans to continue
this accreditation.
Elder Williamson will, doubtless,
be calling at your home if you have
young people, inviting them to come
to Plainview this next school year.
We bespeak for him the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire constituency of South Dakota and pray
that the work at Plainview may
move forward that many more of
our youth may be trained to live and
work for God.

Baptism and Dedication
On Sabbath, June 1, nine precious
new believers were buried with their
Lord in baptism in the Seventh-day
Adventist Church at Davenport. Seven of those baptized became members of the Davenport Church and
one each at Muscatine and Washington. There are several others who
are planning definitely at a little lat-
er time to be baptized. We are very
thankful for t h e evangelistic increase in our membership through
the years that the seed that has been
sown will bear a rich and bountiful
harvest.
On June 8 the new organ and piano in the Davenport Church were
dedicated to the service of God and
the worship of His Church. These
instruments represent a large degree
of sacrifice, coming at the close of
a $11,000 remodeling program.
The Muscatine Church, too, is rejoicing with their new organ as they
meet in temporary quarters while
their new church is being constructed. This will be a fine edifice of
Colorado red stone, constructed in
a dignified part of Muscatine, with
ample provision for church school
playground and the future development of their educational plan.
The Washington church with not
as many members as the other two
churches, is continuing in its program toward a new church building,
with adequate Sabbath school facilities.

WE WERE THERE!
"On returning home, I stopped at
-- for an hour or so and discovered that Elder Zollbrecht had baptized three persons who have purchased a number of our doctrinal
books. Then, too, it was our happy
privilege to help the Elder in getting
an effort started in the Legion Hall
there. It is my firm belief that in following up the literature work in that
district, there should be in all not
less than 12 persons baptized. May
we pray that the good Lord, by His
Spirit, will lead many more in this
area to the point of surrender.
"One man in Hutchinson who purchased a small Great Controversy
from me took it over and left it with
the priest-( that's carrying the battle to the enemy's gate and helping
one individual to have sufficient
light to make his decision intelligently.)"
R. J. JONES, Minnesota Conference
"I was canvassing a lady for Golden Treasury even though she said
that she didn't have much time. I
was making the canvass as brief as
possible but couldn't seem to get her
to buy a book. I heard someone in
the kitchen all the time I was talking. The lady said that she liked the
book but just didn't have the money.
Finally the person in the kitchen
came into the room and I was introduced to her. It was this good lady's
daughter from Kansas City. I handed her the book and she looked

through it. She asked the price and
bought it. Somtimes we give canvasses to people we don't see. This
is one case where the unseen person
turned out to be the best customer."
CLARENCE BRADY, Iowa Conference
"I was having a hard time getting
into a certain home when I finally
told the lady that my work was in
line with the Sunday school work.
She then told me that her mother-inlaw was visiting for the week-end
and that if I wished I could come in
and visit with them. No sooner had
I entered the home than the motherin-law began to talk with me regarding religion. She carried on for some
time and then said that anyone who
went to church on Sunday was
crazy. When she made that statement, I felt a little encouraged and
after several attempts I finally got
a word in. I asked her if she was
a Seventh-day Adventist. She didn't
say much after that but the lady of
the house told me that her husband
had been a member of the Adventist
Church. She said that she, too, had
been studying her Bible and that she
was sure the Adventists had the
right Sabbath. She wanted to know
where the church was a n d also
asked several questions which I answered to the best of my knowledge.
"This good lady went to church,
taking her three children with her,
'the next day and we hope that she
will continue in attendance."
