WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Dirksen prayer-amendment bill, all but
forgotten since its defeat in the Senate in September, 1966, will come up
for debate again this session. Senator Everett Dirksen says he has asked
Senator Mike Mansfield to work it into the schedule "as soon as possible."
He also has contacted Senator Sam Ervin, the chief Senate opponent of the
bill, advising him of the impending debate.
JERUSALEM—Agreement has been reached between Israel and seven
religious groups on compensation for war damage sustained during the
Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1948 and 1967. The seven agreements signed concern
32 church or church-owned sites. The reparation payments total $1,500,000
and bring to 14 the number of agreements signed. The Israeli government
has agreed to compensate regardless of whether the damage was caused
by Arab or Jewish forces.
NEW YORK—The New Testament in Greek and English is a 920-page
volume presenting the ancient Greek text and today's English version in
parallel columns. The paperback edition topped the New York Times' bestseller list of paperbacks, outselling its nearest competitor, Jacqueline Susann's The Valley of the Dolls, by more than a half-million copies. The
Greek text is the edition for translators published by the United Bible
Societies in 1966. The English text is the American Bible Society's translation which has sold more than 11,000,000 paperback copies since its publication that same year.
ST. CLOUD, MINN.—Eight men, claiming they were heeding the word
of the Bible as quoted by General Lewis Hershey, Selective Service director,
acted to "ransom" themselves out of military service. The group appeared
at the local draft-board office and each offered a penny taped to a Bible
and a statement asking for military exemption. The spokesman for the
group, Wilfred Mische, 38, said that so long as General Hershey refers to
Selective Service as having a Biblical background, he should follow through
with God's method of deferment. The penny is about the equivalent of a
shekel, Mische claimed. His statement to the draft board said that on a
page in the revised edition of Outline of Historical Background of Selective
Service, Hershey referred to the Biblical antecedent of the draft which
allows this option by paying one penny. A clerk took the "evidence" for
referral to the draft board, but complained the files would soon be stuffed
if everyone began filing Bibles, according to Mische's statement to the press.
WENTWORTH, N. C.—A Superior Court judge here ruled that the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. (Southern), as the "mother church," exercises
final authority over property held by its congregations who are "subordinate members of the general church organization." Judge Fate J. Beal,
a Southern Presbyterian, pointed to the Book of Church Order in holding
that the Presbyterian Church, U. S., is a religious society of "connectional,
as opposed to congregational, character." The decision is expected to
strengthen the denomination's control over church property in North Carolina where there are 4,000 Presbyterian, U. S., congregations.
COLORADO SPRINGS—The number of cigarettes consumed in the
United States fell 1.4 billion during the year ending June 20, 1967. This was
the report of John F. Banzhaf given at the Quadrennial Session of the
American Temperance Society held last week at Colorado Springs. It is the
first significant drop since the Surgeon General's report on "Smoking and
Health" in 1964. It was Banzhaf, 28, who persuaded the Federal Communications Commission to rule that a radio station must provide one minute of
free non-smoking advertising for every three minutes of smoking advertising aired.

By Clarence Dunbebin
Principal, Sligo Elementary School
IN schools, as in life, it is sometimes necessary to grow up fast to
meet the challenges which face all
educational institutions everywhere.
This may be why Sligo Elementary
School has quickly assumed its place
as a quality leader in the field of
education.
Four years ago the "new" Sligo
School began its operation as a
school totally operated by the Sligo
Seventh-day Adventist Church in
Takoma Park, Md. Prior to this,
Sligo School was operated by Columbia Union College on its campus.
In the four brief years of operation as a church-owned school, Sligo
School has grown to an enrollment
of 412 students in grades one through
eight and a faculty and staff of 25
full- and part-time persons.
Sligo Elementary School stands as
an unusual educational complex. It
is, first of all, the church school for
Sligo Church; but its role extends
beyond that. As the demonstration
school for Columbia Union College,
the influence of Sligo Elementary
School is felt worldwide, both within
denominational circles and in publicschool classrooms.
Perhaps the word "innovative"
best describes the nature of Sligo
School. "It is not that the faculty
members are looking for wild or
`way out' methods of teaching,"
notes one teacher, "but, rather, that
they are looking for methods which
will keep the learning processes
relevant and helpful to each child
in terms of his ability and talents."
Because Sligo School is innovative,
a visitor to the school might wonder
at the variety of teaching tools being
used by the teachers. In one room
he might see a group of students at
a table intent on listening to a lesson being taught through the headphones they are wearing. The headphones are connected with a tape
recorder which is playing a lesson
the teacher has prepared herself or
has secured from the school's Learning Materials Center. While this
group is busily engaged in the listening activity, the teacher is free
to give personal attention to others
who may be having difficulty understanding how to convert base 10
into base two.
In another room one of the teachers is using the overhead projector
and a transparency to illustrate an
important point to her students. With
this teaching tool the teacher has
the benefits of a chalkboard without
the handicap of having to lose eye
contact as she uses it.
If the visitor steps next door, he
may find a group of students gathered around their teacher in excited
anticipation. A look of disbelief might
come to the visitor's face when he
realizes that this teacher has captivated her students with a Bibleclass discussion on becoming perfect.
With Bible in hand, the teacher and
the students are searching step by
step for the answer to the important
question, "How can a fifth grader
become perfect?" Who would believe that recess time already had
come and was nearly over?
Out on the playground students
are finding additional opportunities
to grow and develop. Paul Davis,
newly appointed physical education
director, is guiding students through
the requirements of the President's
Physical Fitness Program. Student
enthusiasm for this activity has to
be registered in decibels if the cheering and shouting throughout the
class period is an indication of student interest and enthusiasm.
Learning takes on many forms at
Sligo Elementary School. The Safety
Patrol is given opportunity to learn
care and responsibility as its members guard the lives of students in
rain or in sunshine. Other students
are given the opportunity to work
in the school's hot-lunch program.
The students who enroll in Sligo
School are more than numbers or
just so many people. Under the direction of various faculty study

checks to make sure that Jenny Burrow and
Pajic are selecting the correct instructional
prescription from her learning center.

groups, Sligo School students become
real people with real problems and
real talents to be met and developed.
Sligo School was the first school
in the Washington area to recognize
the need for appointing someone to
be a guidance coordinator so the
guidance activities of the school
could become more purposeful. In
this capacity Dan Burrow is initiating a program designed to discover
the basic needs of the students so
teachers can begin to prescribe instructional assistance with an eye to
helping them achieve their full potential.
From time to time in faculty meetings teachers focus on specific children much as medical people do in
their conference-study groups. During these meetings, teachers bring
to bear information they have gathered about a student by testing, observation, and individual contacts.
This information is studied, evaluated, and used as a basis for planning so the student will be helped
more effectively.
Out of one such meeting emerged
a plan to implement a program of
tutorial assistance. In this program
older students and students who have
skills and strengths help younger
students and those who may be deficient in the skills needed.
Because Sligo Elementary School
is a part of the teacher-education
program of Columbia Union College,
it enjoys unique opportunities which
make it possible for the faculty to
give greater personal attention to
the students. By working with college students who are preparing for
teaching, Sligo School teachers are
4
able to work with children in smaller
groups for drill and other class activities.
What has been accomplished in the
Sligo School story is exciting, but
members of the Sligo Elementary
School Board and faculty eagerly
look to the future. Plans are now on
the drawing board for an expansion
program which will provide further
facilities for Sligo School.
A modern, up-to-date home economics laboratory will make it possible to include home arts in the
curriculum for students in grades
five through eight. A modern science laboratory and arts and crafts
room will make possible curricular
programs which will equal and exceed even the best schools.
New trends in effective teaching
will be anticipated as plans develop
to establish the new and enlarged
library as a Learning Materials
Center with provision for a listening
and viewing room where students
may do individual study by means
of filmstrips, video tapes, and listening tapes.
With all of the emphasis on the
latest in trends and machines, you

Elementary School is planned. This addition will contain larger library facilities, a science laboratory, a home economics laboratory, an industrial arts
complex, an art laboratory, and storage
facilities.

might wonder about the qualifications of the teachers who really are
the important quantity in any school.
One-third of the teachers already
possess their masters' degrees and
several more have nearly completed
the requirements. All the teachers
possess their bachelors' degrees.
It is true that time and circumstances sometimes cause people and
schools to grow up fast. Sligo Elementary School is happy to be an
alert link in the great chain of educational institutions which encircles
the globe. Its faculty and its board
envision a program of evangelism
and education which will restore the
image of God in their students.

THE discouraged writer who could
paper his walls with rejection slips,
the so-so writer who knows he has
talent to do better but lacks technical knowledge and professional
guidance, and the harrassed editor
who thumbs his way through stacks
of unacceptable manuscripts—all will
hail with joy Norma Youngberg's
latest book, Creative Techniques for
Christian Writers.
They should. The book, her 25th,
lays down in easy-to-understand
language the principles which have
enabled her and no less than 50 of
her writing pupils to become professional writers.
"This book is written for the beginning writer," she explains in the
introduction, "as well as for many
who have 'tried to write' for years.
It presents the simple rules that can
make his product an acceptable offering to his editor, his reader, and
his Lord."
In 36 chapters author Youngberg
covers the basic techniques an aspiring writer needs to know in order to
sell manuscripts: what constitutes a
salable manuscript; how to do research; how to organize or plot material; and, for the bulk of the book,
how to write. In addition, there are
chapters on preparing and marketing
manuscripts, dealing with editors,
and useful advice on query letters
and magazine surveys, agents, critics,
copyrights, book contracts, illustrations, advances, and royalties.
If one word could characterize the
book it would be "trustworthiness."
Carefully, painstakingly, thoroughly,
she outlines exactly what it takes to
produce a salable manuscript,
whether for a book, magazine article, short story, or even a simple
greeting-card verse.
Her approach is distinctly practical. If the number of professional
writers — 50 —produced by Norma
Youngberg in her eight years as a
writing teacher in San Jose, Calif.,
can be cited as an indication, there
is little doubt that this book, if assiduously followed, also will produce competent writers whose manuscripts will be purchased eagerly by
book and magazine editors.

Writers, published by the Pacific
Press, is available at your Book and

Allentown Church Presents
"Illumidrama" at Fair
]willows unit,
MOM NY WORi0 FAIR
11111i I
A grandfather clock "ticks away the minutes
to Christ's 'return'" outside the Allentown
Church project at the Allentown Fair. "Illumidrama," with an accompanying tape by Elder
George Vandeman, was presented inside the
van.
THE Allentown Church fair project committee was enthusiastically
impressed to be represented again
at the Great Allentown Fair. Owing to world conditions and emphasis by most people on "what's happening" to cause riots, assassinations,
and other violence within our own
country, it was felt that we should
again present the Illumidrama to
warn thousands of people concerning
why these things are happening—the
coming of Christ is near—time is
running out.
This being our theme, we constructed a grandfather clock which
"ticked away the minutes" to Christ's
coming. Projected in front of a moving van, which served as a dark,
quiet enclosure in which to present
the colorful Illumidrama with the
accompanying tape by Elder George
Vandeman, it proved to be an eyecatcher and effective in drawing the
people inside.
We are very pleased to report that
during the 10 days of the Great Allentown Fair in the early part of
August approximately 2,000 pieces
of literature were distributed, thousands viewed the Illumidrama, and
497 signed for the book, Our Lord's
Return. Included in this number
were quite a few people from out
of the state, people who expressed
interest in buying books, those desiring more information on our faith,
and the encouragement from a good
Methodist fellow Christian who said,
"This is wonderful that you people
are here!"
Viewing the Illumidrama were
children, teen-agers, and many families, including a professor and his
family, from India, who is on the
faculty at one of our local leading
colleges. Remarks from the viewers
ranged from "I never thought about
Christ's coming before" to "I was
taught differently; now you have me
thinking."
Present the Illumidrama at a fair
in your area. You will say it was
all worth the time and expense when
you realize that the message of
Christ's coming has gone to thousands of people within a few days.

New BMA Program Answers
Questions of Youth
SHOULD Adventist youth aspire for
public office? What does Mrs. White
say about fiction reading? Can we as
Adventists participate in competitive
sports? These were some of the
questions with which Blue Mountain
Academy students probed Elder
Paul A. Gordon of the E. G. White
Estate for answers on a recent Sabbath afternoon.
"Probe," an innovation for Sabbath-afternoon activities, is tailored
for student needs. Youth ask the
questions and on the answering end
is a church expert.
To begin the new activity Elder
Gordon answered inquiries for nearly
two hours about Mrs. White's stand
on issues that concern youth. There
was standing room only as interested
students vied for his attention.
Many important church leaders
will be "on the spot" at "Probe" on
Sabbath afternoons during the school
year. Elder Robert Pierson, President of the General Conference, will
be available to students for questioning.
Ed Thompson, faculty advisor, says
of "Probe" that it demonstrates the
concern of our church leaders in that
they take time to answer questions
of inquiring youth. The students appreciate it.
Leechburg Church Conducts
Vacation Bible School
Activity Book time for kindergarten class.
THE Leechburg Church conducted
its Vacation Bible School during the
first two weeks of August, from 6:30
to 8:30 in the evenings, permitting
more members to be available to
help.
The church members worked together almost one hundred per cent
to help make the school a success,
either by being a direct worker or
by driving children to the meetings,
contributing materials, helping to
get materials and equipment in readiness, or lending tables.
This was Leechburg's first Vacation Bible School and the members
were thrilled by the enthusiasm of
the children as they came night after
night. The enrollment grew from 37
on opening night to 62 at the close.
Of these only 17 were from Adventist families.

Many Magazines Sold by
New Jersey Young People
THIS summer a number of primary and junior young people shared
their faith the Life and Health way.
It is hard to estimate the good accomplished as thousands of homes
were approached by smiling girls
and boys offering to the people this
Adventist health publication, a journal intended to add years to the customers' lives and life to their years.
Can't you envision the impact as
these courteous youth knocked on
doors, smiled, and said: "Good morning, I'm Jimmy Jones. Will you
please read this?"
As the typical prospect read the
brief, well-worded canvass, saw the
attractive cover page on Life and
Health, and looked into the clean,
smiling face of a junior literature
evangelist, how could he refuse?
The Bible Story and Bedtime Stories advertisements often furnish
"leads" for our regular literature
evangelists to place doctrinal books
in homes.
The children receive practical experience in visitation and useful employment plus the joy of working for
Jesus, not to mention money for
school tuition, junior camps, or some
personal project.
In addition, Dara Kleinspehn, a
junior literature evangelist, who
sold the largest number (353) copies
of Life and Health, received a
Schwinn bicycle.
The parents who helped with the
project were doubly blessed by making all this possible.
Next summer when your children
ask about selling Life and Health,
why not offer your services to help
them for two weeks? Instead of 2,875
copies placed in homes, the number
easily could be 10,000. What a stream
of blessing flowing into the homes of
our neighbors!
This work need not be confined to
two weeks in the summer. Literature evangelists, young and not so
young, part-time and full-time, are
needed to carry our attractive publications to the 7,000,000 people in
New Jersey. In fact, according to the
messenger of the Lord, "This is the
very work the Lord would have His
people do at this time" (Colporteur
Ministry, p. 5).
If God impresses you with the importance of this work, write for full
particulars to your Publishing Secretary.

Think of the benefits. The customers (2,875 of them) received
practical instruction in healthful
living, written with spiritual overtones by dedicated Christian physicians and medical writers.
The high-quality literature tends

FOR some time Elder Jose I. Rivera,
Pastor of the Vineland Church, has
been planning for public evangelism
in Camden.
He has been utilizing the faithful
church members in the distribution
of the Spanish Signs of the Times,
and already interests have been
found. The Bible studies are conducted by the new addition to our
Spanish evangelistic program, Frank
Rivera, who has come to us from
the Ohio Conference recently, and
Julieta Cacceres, from Colombia.
The meetings began on October 12.
Faith was manifested in that a
church home was obtained for their
members before the meetings started.
Hoboken Spanish Youth
Preach With Power
IT was hard to believe! As we (my
family and I) watched and listened
to the Hoboken Spanish youth preach
the Word with power and authority,
we were thrilled—even though we
could understand only a word now
and then. Yes, they were speaking
Spanish, and they were speaking to
an audience that contained about 30
visitors that Sunday evening. Those
young people were prepared and
on fire!
As we met with these youth after
the meeting (they speak and understand English very well—much
better than we understand Spanish),
we were invigorated by their dedication. What a prayer season we had!

of the newest members of the

The convalescent facility is located
in a beautiful residential area just
north of the Washington Beltway on
New Hampshire Avenue. The name
of the institution came from a suggestion made by residents of the
area.
Mrs. Williams is proud of the affiliation with the church. "I'm very

to further involvement with the
work of the hospital and Mrs. Williams became the purchasing agent
for the institution.
"I began to realize how much I
enjoyed hospital work," she recalls,
"especially the contact with the patients. I decided that this was the
kind of work I wanted to do."
Religious services are a regular
part of the routine at the Colonial
Villa Nursing Home. A program
called "Inspirational Time" is held
each Sabbath afternoon. Many different groups help in this weekly
project on a rotating basis. On each
Sunday morning there is an interdenominational religious service
conducted by Mrs. Williams' husband, Elder Gerald Williams, Assistant Administrator of the Washington Sanitarium and Hospital.
According to Mrs. Williams, there
are many challenges in the operation
of a home for the aged. "I feel that
every person is an individual," Mrs.
Williams noted, "and this individuality should be carried through the
time when they retire.
"It is important to provide happiness for these senior citizens," she
continued. "They need to feel that
they are still useful and that life
is important. We try to make them
feel wanted."

News Story Brings Gift
A SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Daily News
headline announced, "Adventists to
Collect for Servicemen," shortly before the Sabbath on which the offering for servicemen's literature was
taken.
The story quoted Elder Fred Stauffer, Pastor of the Springfield Church,
regarding Adventist youth and the
draft. It mentioned our conscientious,
noncombatant position and denominationally sponsored pre-dr a f t
training for medical service, and told
how the offering would be used to
supply literature to boys in the service and help the church to keep in
touch with them.
A lady of another denomination,
an acquaintance of Elder Stauffer,
saw the story and called on him to
make a contribution of five dollars
to the fund.

Photos by James Baker
A LITTLE over a year ago the new
Mount Vernon, Ohio, school was
nearing completion and the Home
and School Association officers were
wondering how there would be
enough money to purchase items
needed for the new school, such as
chairs for the multi-purpose room,
playground equipment, and a new
piano. It had been known for some
time that the old piano was beyond
reconditioning and had reached the
point of playing its last tune. Something had to be done!
Soon the Home and School Association, under the leadership of Mrs.
Garland Peterson, developed a fundraising plan. They would have a fall
festival. There would be an oldfashioned country store, as authentic
as possible; handmade crafts; homecanned delicacies; and tasty foods
served on the spot; pony and antique
car rides for the children; an afternoon filled with fun and fellowship
for everyone.
The plans were made, and the festival was held in September. It was
a real success. After expenses there
was $1,100 profit—enough money to
purchase the new piano, which cost
only $600.
But the $400 left simply was not
enough to purchase chairs and playground equipment. The chairs were
desperately needed. There were not
enough chairs to seat parents for
Home and School Association meetings, and the boys and girls had to
sit on the floor for school programs
or move their desks into the multipurpose room. So the Home and
School Association decided to hold
another fall festival.
The festival was held on September
22. It was equally as successful as
last year's. Mrs. Don Keeler, this
year's Home and School Association
leader, reports that the festival netted $1,000, which will sufficiently
purchase chairs and playground
equipment.
Soon the boys and girls at the
Mount Vernon school will be enjoying new items in their new school
which were made possible by the
diligent, hard-working efforts of
many dedicated parents who firmly
believe in Christian education.

Springfield School Reopens
"JOHNNY isn't a number at the Seventh-day Adventist Church school—
he's an individual." This was the
closing line of a front-page news
story on the reopening of the Springfield Church school in The Sun of
October 3, 1968.
The story, illustrated by two large
pictures on the front page and three
pictures on an inside page, was written by James C. Radford, a staff
writer of the Springfield morning
daily. He told of the school building,
its equipment, its teachers, and their
daily program, including the use of
television for available educational
materials. He quoted Elder Fred
Stauffer, pastor, regarding the Adventist philosophy of education and
our choice to decline government aid.
Last year, when it was concluded
that the church school could not be
continued, the church arranged a
plan to maintain some of the churchschool atmosphere for their children,
in spite of their having to attend
public schools. Bible classes were
conducted one afternoon each week
after school hours. Robert Dotson,
Principal of the Worthington Church
School, went to Springfield each
week to conduct these classes. The
opening enrollment of 25 this year
is an increase of five over last year's.
The teachers are Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Langford. Both are Ohioans. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Langford of
Galion and she is from Bucyrus.

Alexandria (Va.) Church Has All-Day Youth Program
Left: Youth Choir on Youth Day. Right: Gary Shields, speaker; Tyrone Sanders (seated), awaiting turn.
THE Emmanuel Temple Seventhday Adventist Church in Alexandria, Va., presented an inspiring allday youth program recently, the
first in a forthcoming series of
youth-centered activities.
The Youth Day Program was organized democratically through the
vote of the children and was directed
by Mrs. Nelline Sneed, youth sponsor, assisted by the following persons: Pastor L. A. Hernandez; Mrs.
Louise Hernandez, assistant youth
sponsor; Julia Jones, MV Society
leader; Mrs. Maylena Meekins, Sabbath School superintendent; Mrs.
Elizabeth Shields, assistant Sabbath
School superintendent; and the cooperative efforts of our fine parents.
The youth served as officers in
every department of the Sabbath
School and church; namely, Sabbath
School superintendent, Jacqueline
Brown; Sabbath School secretary,
Serena Delaney; lay activities leader,
Dorothy James; and youth elders,
Gary Shields, Tyrone Sanders,
Thomas Meekins, and Antonio
Manns.
A timely sermonette was ably presented by Gary Shields. We were
happy to have several local and outof-town guests. Mrs. Lucille A. Herron honored us as guest organist.
The eventful Youth Day was climaxed by a vesper service one hour
before sunset, conducted by Julia
Jones, MV Society leader, and Pastor
Hernandez.
The final activity was a social held
in the lower auditorium of the church
with refreshments, also games and
fun, directed by the lay elder, E. Wat-
son, assisted by Janie Manns. The
colorful and artistically designed
decorations were made by the youth
leaders and Mrs. Clevie Brown and
Mrs. Ella Murphy.
Realizing a need to win, to hold,
and to train our youth for God's
service, we have thus made our beginning which will develop throughout our evangelistic campaign and
the ensuing days ahead. Under
Christ, we shall continue our forward
thrust.

Deceased Member
FOR years a lonely figure stood at
the corner of Seventh Street and
New York Avenue, N.W., Washington, D. C., and became a landmark.
At that corner she sold Message and
These Times magazines. With proceeds from the sales she helped to
equip the Business Administration
Department at Oakwood College,
Huntsville, Ala., where her son, Prof.
Charles Galley, is a teacher.
Her home was a stopping place for
students who came north to find
work. It also was used by the church
as a home for the elderly.
Selling books and helping students
was a large part of the life of Luberta George who touched each person with whom she came in contact.
Literature had come through her
hands each week since 1922, when
she was baptized into the Seventhday Adventist Church. Even when
she became ill, she asked for literature to be passed out to her friends.
Although she knew not the great
wonders of God, she did know that
"where Jesus is 'tis heaven there."
So with Jesus in the heart, Luberta
George, daughter of the late Thad
and Priscilla Gill, born in Elizabethtown, N. C., August 6, 1892, could
radiate to loved ones, friends, and
foes a spirit of love.
Mrs. George, a devoted mother,

Rockville Church Receives First Loan From New Fund

recipient of money from the Columbia Union Conference Revolving Fund.
Right: Elder Hans Fischbacher (left), Pastor of the Rockville Church, is happy to see a $50,000
check for their building program. The check represents the first loan made from the Columbia
Union Conference Revolving Fund. With Elder Fischbacher is Edgar Bradley, Assistant Treasurer
of the Columbia Union Conference.
ON September 9, 1968, the Rockville Church became the first church
in the Columbia Union Conference to
be granted a loan from the Columbia Union Revolving Fund, in the
amount of $50,000.
The three-year loan will be used
to complete the new Rockville
Church currently under construction
near the intersection of Highway
70-S and Highway 28, in the county
seat of Montgomery County.
The Rockville congregation has
looked forward for over 10 years to
the day when it will have its own
house of worship, instead of worshiping in rented quarters. Last summer the Rockville Church merged
with the Garrett Park Church and
has since worshiped in their chapel
at Garrett Park. However, the conditions were so crowded that it was
considered advantageous to move
ahead with the building of a new
church containing ample facilities
for the larger congregation.
The church is built of white split
rock and will seat 300. More than 200
worshipers will be accommodated in
the brick-lined sanctuary, seated
around three sides of the low chancel
platform. The balcony will seat an
additional 100. The church also will
cont a in separate adult Sabbath
School facilities, as well as adequate
space for all the children's divisions.
Also included are a kitchen and fellowship hall.
Thanks to the generous support of
the present Garrett Park members,

the Potomac Conference, and the
Columbia Union Revolving Fund
loan, it is expected that this new
church will be ready for occupancy
by Christmas.

Bible Conference Held at
Blue Ridge Youth Camp
"I WANT, dear Lord, a heart like
thine" was the song-prayer of some
125 youth of the Potomac Conference
representing churches and educational institutions gathered at Blue
Ridge Youth Camp, October 3-6, for
the Senior Youth Bible Conference.
Guest speakers were Elder E. L.
Minchin and Elder J. 0. Iversen of
the General Conference.
Although time was allotted for
recreation and social fellowship,
small groups discussed in depth such
topics as "Influence," "How to Witness," "Personal Bible Study and
Prayer," and "How Do We Know for
Sure What We Believe Is Truth?"
After each discussion session reports
of findings were presented to the
entire group.
Total dedication to the proclamation of the gospel message after personal commitment was the theme of
the worship-hour message by Elder
Minchin on Sabbath morning. An
evening service, at which Elder
Iversen stressed vocational commitment to fill the need for workers in
many branches of denominational
endeavor, closed the day's spiritual
activities.
The Bible Conference program was
under the direction of Elder G. D.
Bras, Potomac Conference MV Secretary, assisted by several pastors
and personnel from Takoma Academy, Shenandoah Valley Academy,
and Columbia Union College.
"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!"—Education, p. 271.
The youth of the church are eager
to spend their energies in the direction of good and truth. Church leadership at all levels must provide
ways to use their energies and their
enthusiasm.
What a challenge!

New Galax Church Opened
THE 50 members of the Galax, Va.,
congregation know that their toil and
sacrifice account for only part of
their success in erecting a beautiful
sanctuary in their city.
For 35 years this group had met in
a small frame church which fell short
of their needs. Then one day they
learned that a new highway was
soon to cover the site of their sanctuary. What could they do? Where
would they worship? How could they
build a new church? They had only
$4,500 in the bank and no land on
which to build.
With a faith that bordered on presumption they chose a plot of ground,
asking God to open the way before
them. Within six months the property was theirs.
January of 1967 saw each member
of the church commit 10 per cent of
his earnings for the new church.
On April 21, 1968, ground was
broken. In less than five months the
Galax congregation with a large
The new Galax, Va., Church
number of friends of the church occupied the new facility for the first
time.
The $4,500 grew into a new church
and property worth $95,300. Only a
small portion of the cost has yet to
be paid on this house of faith.
On Sabbath, September 14, Elder
V. J. Puccinelli led his congregation
and friends of the church in grateful
praise for this "memorial of God's
goodness to us." Elder N. R. Dower,
Ministerial Secretary of the General
Conference, was the guest speaker.

Conference were Elder and Mrs. Everett Shull, Elder and Mrs. Wayne

all over the Potomac Conference to
enjoy the facilities that the camp
has to offer. The camping season at
the Blue Ridge Youth Camp continues for seven weeks. One week is
for the boys and girls eight and nine
years old. This is called the Intermediate Camp. There are four weeks
which are devoted to the junior
youth, aged 10-12. One week is given
over to our teen campers, aged 13-16,
and one week is given to those who
are not of the Adventist faith but
who would like to attend the camp.
It is called the Good Neighbor Camp,
with junior-age youth 10-15.
The total in attendance exceeded
800 this year and the number of MV
honors given out was approximately
800.
The mornings were devoted to
"campers' choice" at which time
campers took part in nature study,
wilderness living, archery, canoeing,
swimming, ceramics, horsemanship,
and physical education. In the afternoon they had the opportunity to
further their skills and they made
FOR the first time in its brief history Sligo Elementary School has
enrolled more than 400 students.
Sligo School is beginning its fifth
year of operation.
With nearly 120 students enrolled
in grades one and two, the Sligo
School board has taken steps to employ another teacher so that two
classrooms of first graders and two
classrooms of second graders can be
set up.
The leaders of Sligo Church have
taken steps to implement plans for
an addition to the present structure.
Sligo Elementary School has been
approved by the state of Maryland
as a demonstration school for teacher
education and recently the board
took action to seek approval by the
Department of Education for inclusion on the list of regularly approved
schools.
Pictured above are some of the boys and girls
of the Manassas Pathfinder Club earning their
honor in camp cookery at a recent campout at
Shenandoah Farms. Looking on are their director, Elmer Blommer, and counselor, Bill Wolters.
the choice as to the area in which
they would like to take part.
The camps changed each Sunday.
Buses left shortly after breakfast
and returned again in the evening
from the Washington area. We hope
that next year we shall be able to
work out transportation for other
sections of the Conference where we
have a large concentration of young
people who would like to attend the
camp but cannot because of transportation problems.
The summer camping program is
an integral part of the Seventh-day
Adventist youth movement and is
playing a major part in helping to
stabilize the youth in the church.
Do it that very moment!
Don't put it off—don't wait.
There's no use in doing a kindness
If you do it a day too late!

Pierced Hands Clap
By J. Ernest Edwards
Lay Activities Secretary, General Conference
AT the Ingathering victory program it happened! The pastor and
the visiting missionary on furlough
were congratulating the different
bands on their successes. The pastor had mentioned a number who
had raised $500; others, $300 and
$200. Some had raised a Jasper
Wayne goal and scores were Silver
Vanguard achievers.
Finally, the pastor mentioned an
aged lady, who had immigrated
from eastern Europe. She had
worked day after day for Christ, doing her best with her broken English to tell others of the world-wide
work of Adventists. Although the
minister commented on her untiring
efforts and her many hours which
had not brought her a Silver Vanguard goal, the members did not
clap. Perhaps they did not consider
the efforts of this elderly lady sufficiently important. The missionary
arose and, looking out the window
of the school auditorium, exclaimed,
"I believe I heard a clapping of those
pierced hands."
He then told of what he called
"the second line." Twenty-five thousand overseas workers are in the
front line around the world. But
persons unable to go as missionaries
can "stay by the stuff" here on the
second line. They can pray daily for
workers in heathen lands, witness for
the truth by seven-day Christian
living, and perform Ingathering exploits for the cause of heaven. In so
doing they share the glorious triumphs of the cross by faithful "stayby-the stuff" service.
"By your Ingathering service you
sponsor thousands of overseas workers in their evangelistic, medical,
and educational ministry. You demonstrate mission loyalty by sending
421 missionaries overseas in 1967 as
your representatives. In the Ingathering crusade you are partners with
the missionaries around the world
in soul winning," he stressed.
Ingathering and Bible evangelism
go hand in hand. Each year scores of
new converts attribute their acceptance of the truth to the Ingathering visit. Mr. L. Z. in Mechanicsburg, Pa., writes about last year's
Ingathering contact: "You ask how
I came to send for the Bible course.
It happened on a stormy, freezing
night last December. A young man
of 18 was getting donations for the
These Times Ingathering appeal. He
belongs to a Seventh-day Adventist
Church. It was cold outside that
night. I said to the young man, 'You
shouldn't be out on a cold night like
this.' He looked me straight in the
eye and said, 'Mister, when you are
working for Jesus, it doesn't seem so
cold.' I was speechless for a moment.
Thank God, I thought, for boys who
have a testimony like that for Christ.
It was because of his interest and
devotion that I am now enrolled in
your Faith for Today Bible Course."
Offer a prayer as you knock at
each door, that you may speak wisely. The Ingathering call should count
for heaven. The fact that you are
taking your personal time to engage
in humanitarian work tends to inspire confidence and interest in those
whom you approach. Remember that
each person you contact is a candidate for heaven. Have a smile on
your face, a prayer in your heart,
and enthusiasm in your voice.
Write a modern book of Acts. This
is your destiny. Wars, tensions, militant demonstrations, and church
unity at the price of doctrinal compromise all point to the close of probation. Do we have any assurance
of another Ingathering opportunity?
With the spirit of doing my "utmost
to advance the cause" (Testimonies,
Vol. 1, p. 115) many thousands of
our members could raise at least two
Silver Vanguard goals. Scores of
fields are calling for help. God is
opening closed doors. Miracles are
happening. The eternal destiny of
more than one billion persons depends upon missions devotion.

Many Isolated Students
Study by Correspondence
IMAGINE the son of an African
chief studying with Home Study Institue! That is just what is happening in Sierra Leone. Joseph Kamara,
a chief's son, studies with Gordon
Turnbull, whose father is BUsiness
Manager of our Masanga Leprosarium in Sierra Leone. Since Gordon
needed company for school work,
Mrs. Turnbull took Joseph in and
teaches both boys together, though
Joseph is considerably older. He does
not know his own age or birthday,
so he has adopted Gordon's birthday
for his own. In spite of language and
background difficulties, Joseph does
quite well and occasionally surprises
his instructor with an unusual idea.
H.S.I. welcomes all types and races
of people into its growing ranks of
students. People from all over the
world are taking advantage of the
opportunity it offers for correspondence study under Christian teachers.
Ingrid Ambrosen, daughter of the
principal of a mission school in Ethiopia, has attended school two years
in Denmark and two years in England. She is now enrolled in Home
Study Institute.
Also enrolled are Shelley and
Vern Peters, whose father services
our five mission planes east of the
Andes Mountains. Their family went
to the bottom of the river when the
plane he was piloting failed to make
headway. All were miraculously rescued. The children have never attended any other school.
But people in foreign lands are
not the only ones who have good reasons to study with H.S.I. Besides the
previous examples taken from the
files of the elementary department
at H.S.I., letters keep coming in from
children all over the United States
and Canada who are grateful for the
opportunity that Home Study Institute offers.
One such student is Del Jean
Dicken who lives on a ranch far
back in the Rocky Mountains in
Egnor, Colo.
Yvonne and Chester Eddy live 60
miles from the nearest school. They
are children of a forest ranger • at
Powell Ranger Station in the Rocky
Mountains in Montana.
The Floyd children, whose father
has a lumber company in Ketchikan,
Alaska, live on a raft all year round
and get to town only about once a
year. Each child has a boat.
But the most appealing "study
life" of all is led by Lorie and Bruce
Dearing, sons of Pastor and Mrs.
Keith Dearing. Pastor Dearing is in
charge of a large area of British Columbia, and the family lives in a
trailer and travels around his parish
while the boys do their school work
with H.S.I.
Perhaps your child's situation
warrants correspondence work. If
so, write to: Home Study Institute,

CONSCIENTIOUS cooperators — that's what
they really are. John D. Ashton and Roy W.
Smith of Mount Vernon, Ohio, were inducted
into military service last May under the
1-A-0 classification, which labels them officially as conscientious objectors. Together
with some 60 other Seventh-day Adventist
companions in basic training at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, they have been doing their
best to merit the "cooperator" tag.
The first taste of military life can be very
bitter to the young man leaving home for
the first time. Mess call is a far cry from
mother's home cooking and no doctor has yet
found a medical cure for homesickness. As
these two close friends suffered through the
blisters, barracks living, and the grueling
business of basic training, they came to realize the necessity of their daily lives' testifying to the validity of their 1-A-0 status.
A test was not long in coming.
One Friday afternoon the class sergeant
called Company E, 4th Battalion, Class 22B,
into formation to announce that the company
commander requested work detail for everyone on Saturday, in order to give the
class full privileges on Sunday.
Since this was only a request and not an
order, the decision would be left to the class.
But the sergeant inferred that the men should
cooperate with this request as a favor to him
for the help he had given them in obtaining
extra privileges on other occasions. Besides,
he was not fully convinced that Seventh-day
Adventists were so loyal to their faith that
they would not do detail on Saturdays.
Of the 118 men in Class 22B, 65 were Seventh-day Adventists. The others were conscientious objectors of various faiths who
normally performed duties on Saturdays in
order to have Sundays off. To the question,
"How many refuse to work on Saturday?"
65 hands were raised—a mute witness to their
particular religious principles.
Suddenly, it appeared to the sergeant that
the Adventist conscientious cooperators were
not cooperating, but objecting-100 per cent!
But to the Adventists' surprise, the rest of the
men of the class lauded them for their decision to remain true to their faith by refusing
to work on the Sabbath.
Noting the sergeant's displeasure, the men
expected that there would be further developments. But the subject was dropped, and
no further mention of Saturday detail was
made.
The company commander initiating the request for Saturday detail was a West Point
graduate and a Roman Catholic. The captain,
a 25-year-old Viet Nam veteran who had experienced a difficult time adjusting to the
principles of conscientious objectors, now
found himself in a somewhat embarrassing
position as company commander of the only
Modified Basic Training Center for conscientious objectors in•the entire U. S. Army!

Roy W. Smith.
John, Roy, ana the other Adventist men
in Basic Training Class 22B may never know
the full impact of their witnessing for the
Sabbath, but they do know that it was significant enough to change the captain's ideas
about conscientious objectors. During his
graduation address to the class, he remarked,
"When I first came here, I wasn't too convinced of the sincerity of conscientious objectors. I've learned a lot from the C. O.'s.
I'm going back to Viet Nam, and I'd be proud
to have any of you serve under me."
John and Roy are now on their way to
Viet Nam. The fellow members of their home
church, like those of hundreds of other Christian boys in military service, pray that they
may be faithful to God and their country and
witness effectively for their faith under all
circumstances.
