Greater New York Conference

Going Into "All the hi
Photo by Dudley Thorne
Greater New York Academy, located in Woodside,
Queens, has the highest enrollment of any academy in
the Atlantic Union. In addition, ten church schools
serve the needs of Adventist elementary pupils in the
metropolitan area.

A mission quarterly from New York City or any
other urban center would probably contain as many
exciting stories of providential guidance and deliverance as conventional mission quarterlies, with noticeable modifications. While there would most likely
be no descriptions of jungle terrain, there would
doubtless be references to the many perplexities unique to cities and the areas surrounding them.
The 43 pastors and the more than 150 workers
and teachers in Greater New York Conference are
engaged in a concerted mission effort with 7,702
church members throughout the metropolitan area.
Conference Secretary-Treasurer Juan Prestol indicates
that, despite inflation, a five percent increase in tithe
received through June, 1981, assures the normal Conference activities can be carried on. It does not, unfortunately, make it possible for the church to take
advantage of many opportunities opening up today
in Greater New York.
Pastors of the seventy churches and companies in
the Conference are prayerfully dedicated to the task
of reaching what is perhaps the most mixed of multitudes on the face of the earth. At last count, 154
countries were listed as members of the Manhattanbased United Nations, with flags of each country flying outside the UN headquarters building. Persons
from virtually every one of these countries resides or
passes through the New York City area, and representatives of 80 countries are numbered among Adventist
congregations in Greater New York.
There are 25 Hispanic congregations in the area.
Eleven companies and churches are functioning with
languages other than English or Spanish being spoken
from their pulpits. Each of these language groups is
speaking to their countrymen in their mother tongue
(some of these utilizing ethnic media), reaching souls
who might otherwise not have heard the Good News
while in this country.
In 1980, 764 members were added to church rolls
in Greater New York; and Conference President G.
Merlin Kretschmar's response to the citing of that
sizable figure has been adopted by workers in the
area: "Our goal for 1981," he stated at a special workers' luncheon meeting highlighting evangelism, "is
the winning of 1,000 souls."

Characteristically, church evangelism in the area
involves a diversity of methods. Conventional evangelistic series in English and other languages mesh with
a multi-media approach, prophecy seminars and series
related to the home. A constant witness is provided
by the various community service activities in the
Conference. Periodic Five-Day Plan to Stop Smoking
Clinics, nutrition and stress-control seminars are offered in the churches.
The Community Services warehouse and fire emergency work, with Charles Olsen as Manager, responds
to calls from the Red Cross for immediate clothing
needs for fire victims in the five boroughs of New
York City. Many calls were answered during the past
winter to provide blankets and warm clothing to
residents who stayed in temporary city shelters due
to heatless homes as a result of the high fuel bills
that many were unable to pay.
Juanita Kretschmar, Director of the Conference's
blood pressure screening van work, views this special
health outreach as a faith and prayer ministry. Health
education mailings and stress-control lessons based on
Bible guidelines are being requested by increasing
numbers of persons coming on the blood pressure
testing vans operated by the organization. (Approximately 60 percent of these persons ask for the Bible
series!) Many media contacts have developed as a
result of this work, with numerous radio and television
interviews resulting. These interviews have featured
not only the van work, but Adventist health views and
religious thinking as well.
Though a great deal of accomplishment for the
Lord is being seen throughout the Conference, the
greatest accomplishments appear to be still on the
horizon. "We have tremendous opportunities in the
media of which we cannot presently take advantage
due to lack of funds," Merlin Kretschmar states. "The
opportunities for evangelism in this vast urban area
are almost unlimited. The strong interest in preventive health care that is evident here provides a continuing field in which an even greater outreach may
be made.
"God has promised that the work will return with
power to the East Coast. We continue to depend on
the strong arm of the Lord to sustain us in finishing
the work in the great mission field of New York City."
The Greater New York Conference office is situated in
a pleasant suburban area with easy access to New York
City and the northern and western parts of the Conference as well as Long Island.

in Recognition Chapel
The past quinquennial session,
1976-1980, brought about changes
within the Atlantic Union Conference
affecting Atlantic Union College.
It was recommended to the General
Conference Board of Higher Education that a model constitution of bylaws be created for all the Adventist
colleges throughout the denomination.
This has been done with other departments but never with the colleges.
The terms of office for the present
members of the college Board of
Trustees came to an end this year and
new members were elected. The Atlantic Union ,College Board of Trustees consists of twenty-four members.
Of this number, fourteen kept their
office and ten new members were
added.

New York Youth Is Taskforce
Worker at Monument Valley
It's not just a job, it's an adventure!
It's a great opportunity to meet new
people, get a change of scenery, practice new skills and get paid for it. It's
not the army, it's the Seventh-day Adventist Taskforce. The rewards are always multiplied in the service for
Christ.
Rhonda Dorn, a Union Springs Academy graduate, spent the past year as a
taskforce worker with the Navajo Indians.
Through the Taskforce program, I
had the opportunity to work this past
year as a student teacher with the
Navajo people on our mission in
Mounment Valley, Utah.
The Navajos are the largest tribe
left in the USA and own the largest
reservation, known as the Navajo Nation. Because of the, vastness of the
nation, they seldom heed any contact
with whites. This has helped them
preserve their culture and remain very
primitive. Navajos seldom know how
to speak, read, or write English until
they enter school. Because of this isolation from the world, they see little
need of changing.
I was very interested in the people
that came to church each Sabbath.
Their way of life was so different from
mine and our language barrier made
it impossible to communicate. For
weeks I watched as they filed silently
to their seats and sat quietly through
the sermon. Their expressionless faces
made me wonder what it was that
brought them to church. Did they
really understand God's amazing love
for them and the hope of His soon
return?
Communion Sabbath proved to be
a big eye-opener for my curiosity.
6
After the communion service a testimony service was held. I was surprised
as one after another, they rose to pour
out their love for Jesus. Those previously expressionless eyes now filled
with tears. Voices that had been so
silent before, now spoke as if nothing
could restrain them. An interpreter
translated their earnest testimonies
into English. I learned that many of
them, who could not read the Bible,
had come to the knowledge of the
SDA church through dreams. Each had
found in Christ more love and strength
to face their problems. One lady, after
being pronounced incurable by the
medicine man, is still living today because of the power in the blood of
Jesus. Now I realize how much more
I had to learn about God's effect in
changing peoples lives.
The work of carrying the Gospel to
the Navajo people is urgent today!
God says in John 4:35 "Say not ye,
There are yet four months, and then
cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto
you. Lift up your eyes, and look on
the fields; for they are white already
to harvest."
Park, the pastor, Eric M. Doran, gave
a sermon entitled "Precious Memories."
During this time, members shared
their remembrances of the past 39
years in the small white church.
The beginnings of the local congregation can be traced to a first meeting in the Odd Fellows Hall in 1940
when a band of members signified
their intention of forming a congregation. The congregation was actually
formed on May 9, 1942. Eighteen were
baptized by Elder Harry Oliver of
Schenectady, and subsequent services
took place in the home of members.
Shortly thereafter, the members acquired the property and converted it
into a chapel.
Services began in the new building
on Union Avenue in Saratoga on Saturday, June 27. A dedicatory service
will be held at a later date when the
interior has been completed.

The last service was held in the
old Ballston Spa church at Saratoga
Avenue and East North Street in Ballston Spa, New York, on June 20. Approximately 100 members and friends
attended the moving ceremony.
Following a Sabbath school conducted by Marion Carlo of Clifton
Five of the Ballston Spa church charter
members who attended the final service
were (L. to R.): Ruth Johnson from
Zephyrhills, Florida; Nina Clute and
Bessie Davis of Ballston Spa; Dorothy
Willett of Glens Falls; and Charles
Krueger of Troy.
Those present at the final service in the old Ballston Spa Seventh-day Adventist
Church on June 20.
THE ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER
A Missionary Church
As the congregation in the Vestal
Hills church in Binghamton is learning about the importance of the ministry of the gifts of the Holy Spirit
through the able leading of Pastor
Edmund 0. Robinson, the members
are beginning to get an insight into
what the final outpouring of the
"Latter Rain" might be like.
Cooking classes are being held,
"Natural Weight Control Classes" are
being conducted, lectures for the
"Daniel Seminars" are being given, a
verse-by-verse examination of the book
of Revelation is being done on prayer
meeting nights, and many Bible studies
are being shared on a weekly basis in
private homes by various members.
As a result of these activities, neighbors, friends, and relatives are being
enlightened.
Union Springs Academy Corner
USA Graduation
Thirty-two seniors graduated from
Union Springs Academy during exer-
cises held May 29 to 31. Speakers for
the weekend were Pastor Larry Meager,
Consecration; Elder Ted Modell, Baccalaureate; and Dr. Rene Noorbergen,
Commencement.
Officers for the class of 1981 were
president, Joy Saxmon; vice-president,
Cindy Gadway; secretary, Michelle
Keech; treasurer, Tracy Ault; sergeantat-arms, Jodi Sadowski; pastor, Daniel
Boyd; and pastorette, Apryl Reinschmidt.
"Natural Way to Weight Control"
A combat plan to fight obesity entitled "Natural Way to Weight Control" is underway at the Vestal Hills
church in Binghamton, New York. The
plan is helping to overcome the enjoyment of eating our good cooking to
the point of letting ourselves go, and
getting unhealthily fat.
Eating the right kinds of food (eliminating much of the "empty calories"
found in refined sugar, for instance)
and eating at the "right times" of the
day seem to be very important to help
maintain a proper balance in our metabolism.
Brenda Belles and Laura Bobenhausen are leading out in this class
which averages 12 to 15 persons at
each session.
Each lecture is followed by a short
"buzz" session in which the group
divides and works with the groupleaders on the participation leaflets
given out at the beginning of the evening. Everybody "weighs in" when
they first come and some check their
measurements.
An integral part of the weight control program is exercise on a regular
basis, even though it may be only 5
or 10 minutes a day to begin with. A
30-minute walk is considered an excellent form of exercise and is available to most people. Last of all a
filmstrip and message of Divine assistance, by Pastor Edmund Robinson
or Brother John Criss, closes the meeting each week.

Southern New England
VBS in South Lancaster
The first VBS put on by the AUC
Church in ten years was held in the
new building, July 20 through 30. It
was a joint effort with the South Lancaster Village Church and was directed
by Diane Linton and Ruth Roberts
representing the two churches.
One hundred forty children were
registered and from 120 to 130 attended each day. Their ages ranged
from four to twelve years. Sixteen to
twenty of these children were from
the community and the rest were from
Adventist families.
A thousand handbills, printed free
by the College Press, were distributed
by the children during camp meeting.
John Arroyo was the leader of the
Kindergarten division; Lola Cardosa
of the Primary; and Julia Ford of the
Juniors. An unusual number of the
latter, 30 to 40, were enrolled.
A follow-up story hour, led by
Glenda Mesaric, is currently being
held on Sabbath afternoons from three
to four o'clock. It will continue as
long as the interest warrants. It is reserved for non-Adventist children with
those from the church admitted only
as they bring a non-member guest with
them.
This is the first of a series of programs planned that will provide services to the area surrounding South
Lancaster and will help to keep our
church name before the public.

Association personnel met in their
chapel on Thursday, June 25, to witness the signing of the contract with
Dalsemer, Catzen and Associates, Inc.,
a construction consulting firm, authorizing them to begin site preparation for
the new Review and Herald plant in
Hagerstown, Maryland.
Three days later, on June 28, nearly
400 people gathered at the Hagerstown
site for the historic ground-breaking
ceremonies. Among those in attendance were 19 city, county, and church
officials. Elder Lowell Bock, vice-president, and Elder Louis Ramirez,
publishing director, represented the
General Conference. Elder Harold F.
Otis, Jr., general manager of the Review and Herald, was in charge of the
platform program. In Elder Otis' remarks he stated, "Today we dedicate
this land to the service of our Lord

exact spot the Lord wanted us to use."
Elder Bock, chairman of the site location committee said, "It seemed that

DRAFT AND MILITARY SERVICE
INFORMATION FOR
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
=MIN
-M RIENS
A monthly service by Home and
Family Service, General Confercence
WHEN MILITARY DRAFT IS REACTIVATED
The Selective Service System is now reaching out to find those who are
willing to serve as members of local draft boards when mobilization occurs.
Recently, they sent out a call for 10,000 volunteers who might fill such positions.
Those selected will be nominated by their state Governor and appointed by
the President, though presently held in a standby position.
In spite of the fact that there is no plan for drafting people into military
service now, it is felt there is a need for the Selective Service System to be
prepared to operate when necessary. Volunteers who are chosen will be trained
to handle problem cases—such as deferments, exemptions, postponements—
should the draft be revived.
Inquires have been received from a number of church members concerning this program, wondering what might be involved. After looking into it,
several observations can be made. First, it does provide an opportunity for
much-needed citizen service. Secondly, it places such members in a position of
assisting our Adventist Graft-age youth when they request an appropriate
classification. Thirdly, it gives our members an opportunity to share their convictions and beliefs with other community members.
This information is being sent out particularly for those who might have
concerns in this area as well as a special interest in sharing the responsibilities
of citizenship. If there are further questions they can be directed to your local
conference National Service Organization office.

Maryland Secretary of State, Fred
L. Wineland, representing Governor
Harry Hughes, spoke of the caliber of
people the Review and Herald would
bring to Maryland. He concluded his
remarks by presenting the flag of Maryland to the publishing house. Donald
Frush, Mayor of Hagerstown, welcomed the corporation to the area.
Committees are now busy making
arrangements for the initial plan for
site preparation. Upon completion of
this phase, construction of the factory
will begin. Plans now call for the
factory to be finished by October, 1982.
Construction of the administration
building will follow.

Basic Human Needs Are
Topic of New Radio Spots
for SDA Church
Five basic human needs are the topics for "Brite Spots 2," a new set of
public service radio spots released for
the Seventh-day Adventist Church by
the Voice of Prophecy.
Each spot announcement discusses
one of the basic needs: loving, belonging, sharing, accomplishing, or forgiving. For each need, there is both a 30second and a 60-second spot. And because radio stations have many different
formats—e.g. classical, religious, black,
beautiful music—each spot was recorded in eight different styles. These
special versions include a complete set
(Continued on page 14)
Don't You Believe It!
"There's no use trying again.
Both Marge and I come from
broken homes. There's no way we
can pull our marriage back together.
Divorce runs in both our families.
There's just no hope."
The young fellow who had
come to see me was in his midtwenties. He and Marge had been
married three years, and they had
two small children. Marge had already pulled out of what she and
Ted had resignedly concluded was
a divorce-prone family. No hope.
Is it necessarily true that divorces
"run in families" and there is no
use in trying to mend fences and
hearts in such doomed homes?
Don't you believe it. These situations may require more patience,
more tender compassion and more
perseverance, but they are not hopeless!
Before you "split," there are
some things you should know.
Divorce will not settle many of
your problems, thousands of divorcees have testified to that. And
divorce is a nightmare for children;
besides, your way of coping with
the stresses and strains of marriage
will likely be the way your children will cope. You can choose
better alternatives than your parents did and break the cycles for
your own. And for yourself, the
anxiety, even regrets, that accompany divorce are not very comfortable "helpmeets" to share your
future with.
Think it over a long time. Pray
about it. Talk with a minister or
counselor that you trust. Keep on
trying to make something beautiful
within the commitment you have
made to each other.

in Spanish. John Robertson produced
the series, a total of 80 spots.
"We anticipate several hundred
radio stations in the United States and
Canada will air the spots without
charge," says Dave Hartman, station
relations director.
The recent release of Father's Day
radio spots resulted in about 25 percent of all stations airing one or more
of the announcements. According to
the responses received from the stations themselves, the Adventist Church
received $786,000 in free air time in
the three-week period prior to Father's
Day. This was in return for an investment by the General Conference
of about $12,500 in production and
distribution costs.
The new series, "Brite Spots 2,"
seeks to show how basic human needs
can be met and how a person thereby
finds meaning, self-respect, and fulfillment.
A Light at the Crossroads
TV Ministry Needs
Friendly People
Faith For Today is looking for a
lot of friendly people.
The television ministry plans to
establish a network of "Faith Associates" throughout North America, according to Gerald Hardy, FFT field
services director. "These would be persons we would contact when there's a
need for a personal visit in their territory," he explains. But it's not a
traditional visitation program. "You
don't have to know how to give a Bible
study to be a 'Faith Associate,' " says
Hardy. "You just have to have a real
interest in people, and be willing to
make friends."
In the mail that comes to Faith For
Today headquarters every day, there
are often letters from people who
simply need someone to talk to. They
may be facing problems that seem insurmountable. Or they may be simply
discouraged with life. "The 'Faith Associate' is a person we can ask to visit
or phone one of these people," says
Hardy. "Then after a while, when a
friendship has developed, hopefully an
opportunity will arise to share the
message of eternal life."
Hardy already has about 100 persons who've applied to be "Faith Associates." They come from a wide
range of backgrounds, and range in
ages from teens to senior citizens. All
applications will be screened by a
Faith For Today committee.
For more information, persons interested in joining the network of
"Faith Associates" should send a selfaddressed stamped envelope to Faith
Associates, Faith For Today, Box 320,
Newbury Park, CA 91320.

years older than he, and the things he
learned there began to come back to him.

WHELPLEY, James Elmer was born
in Waltham, MA, January 11, 1889, and
died in Asheville NC, May 23, 1981 at the
ripe, age of 92.
Following the example of his sailor
father, Elmer at the early age of 13 took
to the sea. His first position was cabin
boy on a sailing ship. He came home
when he was 18 to support his parents
and brothers and sisters, finding employment as a machinist in the Waltham
Watch Company. Later he worked as a
machinist in the Metz Automobile factory.
At the age of 24, while still working at
the Metz Automobile factory, the Spirit
of God convicted him that it was high
time for him to make an open stand for
Christ.
Having cherished a desire for a Christtian education from the time he became
a Christian and having developed his
talent as a skilled machinist, an opening
came for him to enter the Seventh-day
Adventist college at South Lancaster, MA,

and his younger sister by doing part-time
work in a machine shop in a nearby city.

After almost a decade of their united
services in the North, the Whelpleys moved
to the South where they served the Lord
at Mt. Pisgah Academy, NC, at several
churches in that state, and at Forest Lake
Academy, FL.
In 1946 the Whelpleys began their last
decade of formal service this time in
Canada, before his retiring at age 68 in
1957.
Like a faithful war horse he could still
smell the smoke of battle even in retirement, so for the next three summers he

Moving into their retirement cottage
in Fletcher, NC, in 1961 the Whelpleys
ostensibly made their retirement an actuality—almost. But for another three
years Elder Whelpley taught Bible classes
in the Fletcher Hospital School of Nursing.
The Whelpleys were still active in
church interests and are given credit for
being the driving force behind the organization of the Arden Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
Elder and Mrs. Whelpley lived in Candler, NC, for the past three years.
Mrs. Whelpley, his devoted wife and
life companion, spent hours every day
by his side during his recent illness. Survivors also include a brother, George, a

ANSWERED PRAYER
BY EARL W. AMUNDSON, President
Atlantic Union Conference
During the Civil War an unknown Confederate soldier wrote the
following poem which tells of the way God answers prayer. It isn't
always in the way we ask, but rather in the way we need.
"I asked God for strength that I might achieve,
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things,
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy,
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men,
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life,
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed."
