Washington Conference
A New Year's Challenge
•
Another year has passed into eternity, and with it the record of our
accomplishments for the cause of God.
I wonder if we have done our best for
Jesus. Certainly all of us can testify
to His wonderful love and goodness to
us. If we were to attempt to count
the blessings we receive from His hand,
with the Psalmist we would have to
declare that they are more in number
than the sands of the sea. All He asks
in return is that we do our best for
Him.
A brand New Year is now open before us. With it comes new opportunities, new possibilities of service for
God. We will have opportunity to give
to His cause. At the end of the year
will we have done our best for Him in
our giving? We will have opportunity
to share our faith with the lost about
us. Will our record show that we have
done our best in soul winning? We
have new opportunities of living the
sanctified life, the victorious life. Will
1959 bear witness to the fact that by
the grace of God we have done our
best?
The great task of finishing the work
of God in the earth, which must precede the return of our Lord, has been
committed to us. The year 1959, by
every possible line of reasoning, should
be the very best year in all our history
along all lines. It should be best in
giving, in living, in witnessing for our
faith. Let us go forth in the strength
of the Almighty and seek to save the
lost. Let us accept the challenge of
filling to overflowing every church
building in our conference. This would
be a simple task if every member
would do his part.
Evangelism will be the watchword in
1959. This will mean that young and
old, minister and layman, will be called
upon to join in a great soul-winning
crusade. Efforts will be held in every
district in the conference, and in some
cases two or more efforts in some districts. If these are to prove successful,
every member of every church will
need to make friendly contacts which

GOOD NEWS
Even though our weekly totals are not as high, we still have good
news. Alaska is over the top and still pressing on to surpass an alltime high set in 1956. They will make it too. Congratulations, to our
good Ingatherers in the 49th State!
The Butte, Montana, church has already reached a double-minute
per capita, and they are still going. They have raised $50.70 for every
man, woman and child on their church roll.
One hundred and one of our 315 churches in the Union have
reached their assigned goals.
Are you helping to make more Ingathering Good News?
George W. Liscombe
can be turned into active interests in
our message. We appeal to all to give
Bible studies, or pass out literature, or
endeavor to enroll as many as possible
in the correspondence courses, or bring
them to church or to the evangelistic
meetings, and to be "kind and courteous, tender-hearted and pitiful, so
that one hundred may be won to the
truth where now there is only one."
Let us be grateful in this mighty hour
for our wonderful message, and let us
live it, and give it to all with whom we
came in contact. May God bless us
ministers and our laymen as we evangelize our Washington Conference territory by the witness of our words and
lives, and the whole world field by our
prayers and liberal gifts.

Religious Liberty Offering
Religious Liberty Week is January
10 to 17, 1959. The offering for the
work of Religious Liberty will be taken
on Sabbath, January 17. We trust
that this will be a large offering this
year because of the great need facing
us. We are very anxious that every
legislator and civic official have access
to the Liberty Magazine. We have been
reliably informed that there will be at
least two new Sunday Law Bills
introduced into the Legislature convening January 12.
Thank you for your liberal offering
for religious freedom!

Elder Moses Writes
Many of our people entertain pleasant
memories of the good help given to us
by Elder M. D. Moses of India in our
Regional Meetings last summer. I feel
constrained to share the following letter
with them as I know all will appreciate
hearing from him.
"I am happy to inform you that after
a pleasant voyage, I reached my homeland safely. On the way we had the
privilege of visiting the Ha w a ii an
Islands, Philippine Islands, Singapore,
and Pakistan and visited our work.
Traveling around the globe and seeing
the progress of the Advent movement,
I am proud that I belong to this great
Advent Movement.
"When I look back to my visit to the
U.S.A. I can remember many of the
new experiences that came to me. My
visits to College Place and Wenatchee
regional meetings brought me great
inspiration. The warm fellowship that
I enjoyed wth the workers and with
the faithful lay members will ever
remain with me. I am thankful for
the great burden our people have over
there for the mission fields. Though
our work in India is slow at present, I
am sure through your fervent prayers
and liberal and sacrificial offerings the
work in India will be finished along
with the rest of the countries. We are
looking forward for this day and soon

Baptism in Moscow District
On Sabbath afternoon, December 20,
the Moscow church was the setting for
a baptismal service in which six candidates were buried in the watery
grave. Elder J. N. Brown, district
superintendent, was the officiating
minister. Three of these people were
baptized as a direct result of an
evangelistic effort recently concluded
in Tekoa, Washington. Elder Brown
and the writer were associated together in this effort. It was a blessed
experience to carry the responsibility
of the speaking while Elder Brown so
ably led the music each night. We
greatly appreciated the help and the
experienced counsel of these more experienced brethren in the ministry.
Mrs. Border was the main pianist with
Mrs. Brown also giving help in this
way. The Farmington church members gave us wonderful support with
their presence, their offerings, and
much good music. Quite a number
attended every meeting that was held
(30 in all).
We know that God blessed our
combined efforts in this wonderful
e x p e r i e n c e. We were made more
keenly aware that the success of the
meetings depend in a large measure
on the faithfulness of the members of
the church. When the laity and ministers unite their energies and talents
the Lord blesses their efforts.
We feel that there will be further
results in the future from this effort.
There is more labor needed to bring
forth the harvest. We are hoping that
a couple of the husbands will join
their wives in this sacred rite in the
future. The other three candidates
were the fruitage of the labor of Elder
Brown and some of the consecrated
laymen of the Moscow church.
We are truly grateful to God for
His blessings and pray that He will
pour out His Holy Spirit upon us in
the future and enable us to do greater

things for Him. It is time for Jesus
to come. None of us can help but
realize this when we read the signs
about us today. Let us work and
pray that God will soon finish His
work. We in the Moscow district are
already beginning to lay plans for
another effort in the spring. It will
give us courage to know that others are
remembering us in prayer.
BRENT R. BORDER
made gifts for her, visited her, sang
for her and prayed for her many times.
It was decided that she could return
to school in December. Mrs. Baker,
our school teacher, offered to take her
to her school in the car one stormy
morning and noticed how unhappy she
was about going.
That evening Mrs. Baker called
Helen's mother. Disregarding the fact
that Helen's family belong to the
Episcopalian church, she told her of
the advantages of an Adventist school
and invited her to send Helen to our
school. Such a move first had to be
talked over with the father and the
doctor.
The next morning the child did not
want to go to school. "Would you
like to go to Baker's school?" the
mother asked. "Oh, yes," she replied
as though the world had been lifted off
her shoulders. For the first time in
months she ate a good breakfast. Her
father had said, "If it will do her any
good, by all means send her to that
school."
Helen was no stranger in our school.
She knew most of the children and they
all loved her. She proved to be very
bright—both of her parents are college
graduates and above average intellectually. She did not want to go
home that first day, and said that in
public school they never kept her busy.
After the second day, Mrs. Baker
commented that she had roses in her
lips and cheeks. "Do you want to
know why?" she asked as she whirled
around. "Because I am going to your
school."
Helen is not the only one who is
happy. Mother, father, older brother
and sister, and even grandmother all
say, "It's wonderful."
Her fever is checked daily and her
mother reports that it went down a
little each day until now it is back to
normal.
What advantages do Seventh-day
Adventist schools offer? Well, the
warmth of Christian love for one
thing.

Christian Love
Helen was a second grader when she
and her family moved next door to
the Bakers. She was a quiet child and
a real joy to her mother. During that
summer she spent every possible
moment playing with the Baker's two
children—basking in the sunshine of
their love and hospitality—and often
accompanying them to Sabbath school.
During October Helen became quite
ill. The doctors took many tests, but
were never able to discover just what
was wrong. For two months she was
given strong antibiotics and still the
high fever stayed on. Meanwhile,

Louise Hines, brought to the attention
of the local television station their plan

on TV a few nights prior to their soliciting and were interviewed about
their plans. Robert McCormick, deputy
director, and Raleigh Flint, counselor,
explained the purpose and work of

spell that viewers could call if they
wished to contribute food.
There were 19 Glacier Pioneers and
17 of these and counselors, Louise
Hines and Vera McMurdo, appeared in
full uniform and gave their names to
the TV audience. Friends began calling up after the program to mention
that they had seen the program and
wanted to help.
The residential district was covered
and the response was very good. Grocery stores gave, even including some
case-lots of canned goods.
Twenty-two food baskets were made
up for Thanksgiving. One box went
to a family of five who were burned
out in the Evergreen district. Twenty
boxes were given to the Welfare Department in Kalispell for distribution.
One box was packed for a much-loved
older church member. The club's director, Ilene Gilder, stated that there
was enough food to care for 69 children
and 27 adults for at least two meals.
Pathfinders who are in the picture

and Harry Ren. Seven Pathfinders
were unable to be present when the
picture was taken.
The club has enjoyed a busy year.
There have been several outings and
field trips in addition to weekly meetings. There are seven children in the
club who come from non-S.D.A. homes,
therefore the club is proving to be a
missionary enterprise. Much credit for
the success of the Pathfinder work this
year is due to the good leadership of
Mrs. Gilder and Brother McCormick
and their assistants. The pastor, Elder
Paul W. Johnson, has given generously
of his time.

These were the words of a man, not
a member of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church. "I will tell you why" was
really the beginning of an answer as
to why he was not a member and
would not come to even one meeting.
"Because you have members in the
Church that are selfish and do not love
one another. You have profession but
not enough doing. I have been watching your church for years and that is
the trouble."
These were the thoughts of a man
that has lived more than 80 years.
These make up at least part of the
excuse as to why he stays away from
our church.
His excuse reminds me of the old
Sourdough of the early Alaska days.
While I was trying to sell religious
books to those old-timers they would
tell me of their non-interest, and then
tell me the following, "While I was
still in the States I used to watch the
professing Christians and when I saw
some of the non-Christian stunts they
pulled, I decided to stay clear of all
religions."
My answer, of course, is "Keep your
eyes upon the perfect person, Jesus,
and then you can attend church, become a member, and always be happy."
As a climax to the sermon the eightyyear-old man gave me he quoted, with
poise and dignity, the following lines:
"Men speak of love, yet live in hate.
Men talk of faith, but trust to fate.
Oh, that men would do the things
they teach.
Oh, might men live the life they
preach.
Then the throne of sin would fall
And clamor of grim selfishness o'er
the earth would cease.
Love would tread out the baleful
fires of anger
And in its ashes plant the lily of
peace."
Friends of this Oregon Conference,
we must be consistent in all our
dealings, we must practice what we
teach. We can always know that
someone is watching from over the
fence. Someone is hearing what we
say, and seeing what we do. Let us
be c onsi sten t with ourselves, our
fellowmen and our God. Let us follow
the text in a recent Sabbath school
lesson: "Whether therefore ye eat, or
drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to
the glory of God." 1 Cor. 10:31.
If we would do as this text says, my
friend, mentioned above, would have
to come to church or find a different
excuse. May God give each of us
strength to be consistent.

The Greatest Christmas Ever
On December 20 members and friends
of the Springfield, Oregon, church
presented to Christ in dedication one
cf the loveliest Christmas gifts possible. A beautiful new church home,
complete in every detail and the
epitome of perfection.
The church shown on this page,
valued at $165,000 and with a seating
capacity of 340, was designed by Bob
Burman of Seattle, Washington. Archie
Gilbert and Dave Miller, both craftsmen of outstanding ability, led out in
the program of construction.
The church at Springfield was organized just 14 years ago with some 37
charter members. It is said to be the
fastest growing church in Oregon, with
a present membership of 321.
Under the blessings of God the total
time from the breaking of ground to
the Act of Dedication, free of all indebtedness, was just 18 months.
Interior view of the new Springfield, Oregon, Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Special guests participating in the
dedicatory service were Elder C. A.
Scriven, president of the North Pacific
Union Conference; Elder Lloyd K
Biggs, president of the Oregon Conference; Elder J. C. Kozel, treasurer of
the North Pacific Union Conference,
Mr. E. R. Sanders, treasurer of the
Oregon Conference; Elder J. C. Hansen,
a former pastor; and Elder W. I.
Unterseher, pastor of the sister church
across the river in Eugene.
Elder Duane M. Corwin sang "Bless
This House" and Elder Don L. Gray,
also a former pastor, made an appeal
for personal dedication.
To climax this thrilling program 18
new converts went down into the
watery grave in total consecration. This
brings the total to 171 baptized in the
Cottage Grove-Springfield district this
past year as a result of the GrayCorwin Evangelistic team and the
splendid co-operation of the members
of both churches.

ST. HELENS PATHFINDERS' FAIR
On December 14, 1958, the St. Helens Pathfinders held a fund-raising dinner.
The food was served from five different booths which the Pathfinders designed
and built themselves.
After the dinner a short Christmas program was given by the boys and
girls. A booth selling novelty items made by the Pathfinders was also included.
The Pathfinders' Club realized a total of $76 for their efforts.
The members of the Deerhorn Seventh-day Adventist church were made
very happy on December 20 when they
found they were over their Ingathering
goal of $400. Brother Claude Becker
and his faithful solicitors went caroling for several evenings and several
individuals were out soliciting a few
days. One solicitor remarked that she
never had so many doors slammed in
her face. However, this did not
dampen their ardor. They kept on to
the finish. They met many splendid
people who were happy to have the
opportunity to help in a worthy cause.
Names were also received of some who
had no work and not much prospect of
a very happy Christmas. The Dorcas
ladies visited these people and supplied
Christmas baskets and some toys, and
will send literature and visit later.

March, 1956, and first occupied in January, 1957. Hundreds of hours of donated labor, directed by Brother E. B.
Hallstead, led to the early completion
of the structure valued at $12,000. The
church, seating 70, was dedicated free
of debt. It is located on Highway 830
on the Main Street of Stevenson, Washington, and is a monument for God,
being the only Adventist church in
Skamania County.
In the early days the believers met
in various homes, including that of
Mrs. John Simmons, now deceased, a
pioneer Adventist in the community.
As the interest grew the group gathered
in various halls and churches. In 1950
the church was organized with a membership of 25. Seven of the original
number await the call of the Life-giver.
Others have moved away, but new
members have been added by letter
and conversion, so that the present
membership is still 25.
That this new church shall be a
mighty witness to the glory of God
and His message is the desire of each
member.
