A Message From Guam
Fellow believers in the Upper Columbia Conference and personal friends
in particular, will be glad to have some
word from Elder and Mrs. R. E. Dunton,
who are now located on the island of
Guam. Under date of December 14 I
received the . following message from
Elder Dunton:
"Dear Brother Perkins,
From July to December is a mighty
long time! Yet 'nobody knows the
trouble I've seen!' I never saw a place
that required so much visiting high
officials to unwind red tape before you
can move to the right or left. From
the Governor and the Deputy High
Commissioner of the Trust Territory on
down, I think I have seen them all!
That in many ways is a good thing
though.
"Since we have distributed literature,
the old devil is stirring and warning
the people against the 'False Prophet.'
I am printing a small tract to answer
their public charges against us. Will
send you one. It is really only a renewal of the old 'Hard Nuts' tract, but
the people out here are innocent and
hence victimized. They are eager to
read and learn and we look for a large
harvest when we can get the work well
under way. We have been promised
free literature from Loma Linda and
will really flood the island when it arrives. It is good that most of the people speak and read English quite well.
That applies only to Guam of course.
"Suppose it is snowy there now. `Tis
summer all the time here. It is a bit
cooler now though, and really very
comfortable except for humidity.
"Started some real 'missionary meetings' last night out at the north end of
the island among the Filipinos who
have been pleading with roe to come
out for some time. We set the projector up on the fender of the car and
held right out in the open. Had nearly one hundred attending. Most of
these were non-Adventists. I am planning a Book Box evangelism on Sundays among the Guamanians as soon
as I can get a folding organ and some
P. A. equipment.
"Expect to be going to Singapore
around February 1 to attend the Division committee meeting.
No. 1
"We still do not have permission to
enter the islands of the Trust Territory but I am working on that now and
hope to have it through soon. I am
anxious to see the work expand and
hope by this time next year there will
be others out here to help us."
DO YOU
REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
How to save your children and
youth for Christ. How to tempt
them to be good. How to capture
their interest. How to tell stories.
How to captivate them. How to be
better teachers and youth leaders.
How to be better parents—THEN
DON'T MISS—
Child Evangelism Institutes
To be conducted in two large
centers:
TOPPENISH—January 12-14, 1949
SPOKANE—January 15-17, 1949
Large delegations of Sabbath school
officers and youth leaders, teachers,
pastors, and parents will be represented at these important sessions—•
THE ONLY TWO to be conducted
in Upper Columbia Conference!
Contact your pastor for further details. You cannot afford to miss
this opportunity! Many have been
pleading for these institutes—here
they are!
All Churches Cordially Invited
All Departmental Secretaries together with the President, Miss
Meyer from the General Conference,
and others, are uniting their efforts
to bring you these thrilling sessions.
Postpone all other engagements—Be
sure to be there without fail! You
will exclaim as thousands already
have, "Why, Oh Why, haven't we
heard this before?"

Robbins' Family in Japan
Mrs. Leon Robbins and daughter
Joann, sailed from Tacoma, Washington, November 16 on a freighter.
There were 16 other missionaries of
other denominations on the boat with
Mrs. Robbins and Joann. After a very
rough voyage they landed in Yokohama
harbor December 4, where they were
met by Elder Robbins.
Elder Robbins has been invited to
give Bible studies in the English language to 50 girls of a business college.
This request comes from the principal
of the schdol. Besides holding evangelistic services in our chapel, which
seats over 200 people, Elder Robbins
is giving Bible studies, in English, to
a large number of well educated Japanese gentlemen. The Robbins' are
thrilled over their experiences in Japan
and are thoroughly enjoying their work.
Any who care to write them should
send their letters via ordinary air mail,
addressed as follows:
Elder Leon
Robbins, South Japan Mission of S. D.
A., APO 317, c/o Postmaster, San Francisco, California.
Elder Eva Itinerary
Many of our church members have
met Elder Eva during his stay in our
conference as he has been visiting many
of our churches. We have greatly
appreciated his work and feel that he
has been a blessing to our churches.
Within the next few months he will be
returning to Africa, which is his homeland. Before he leaves, however, he
will have several more appointments.
These are listed below. We would urge
that any who have the opportunity to
attend these meetings do so as you
surely will be blessed by so doing.

Chambers of the North Pacific Union
conducted a "Country Living" institute in Spokane, December 25 and 26.
The meetings were held in the Spokane
First S. D. A. church. Even though
these meetings were held during the
holidays the attendance was good.
Pastor Frank T. Munsey who has
been located in Toppenish for the past
two years has recently moved to Goldendale in order to foster the young
but growing company of believers in
that part of the conference. Elder
L. A. Baughman and Brother Munsey
have been conducting an evangelistic
meeting in Goldendale for several
weeks. The results are very gratifying.
Elder C. Lester Bond spent Monday,
December 27, in Sunnyside on business,
returning via College Place where he
counseled with the workers in that
section of the conference.
The convention that was scheduled
for Missionary Volunteer officers for
January 9 has been postponed until
early March. This postponement is
necessary because of the weather.

Recent baptisms reported to the office
include four by Elder H. A. Fish on
December 18, three by Elder E. M.
Oberg December 18, three by Elder J.
W. Osborn the same Sabbath, and eight
baptized and two on profession of faith
by Elder R. J. Winders on a recent
Sabbath.
Baptisms reported over the week
end of December 25 included three by
Elder J. W. Osborn, seven by Elder
D. A. Neuf eld, and four by Elder F. G.
Roper. We believe that when the
records are made up for the year 1948,
that we will have one of the best soul

Medical Inspection of Church School
Children
By the time you read this article,
Mrs. Ross J. Sype, a registered nurse,
will have started her visits to the
church schools for the purpose of doing
the preliminary work of the medical
inspection of your children. In some
cases a doctor will also be present, in
others the children's contact with the
doctor may come later.
Your teacher has already been notified of the day of Mrs. Sype's visit to
your school. You may be interested
in asking your teacher for this information, since you may wish to be present at that time.
We are encouraged by the splendid
response some parents give to our findings. After last year's inspection, several children got glasses, had tonsillectomies, and had teeth cared for. We
urge that all parents take advantage of
the suggestions made: that where your
child has some indication of a remedial
defect, you take the trouble of checking
into the matter more fully by taking
your child to your doctor, dentist, or
oculist. He will advise you what further steps to take.
V. R. JEWETT.
COMING EVENTS
The Student Association of Auburn Academy cordially invite you
to attend our "Home Talent Program" on January .8, 1949 at 7:30
in the Auditorium at the academy.
There will be no admission charge,
but an offering will be taken for a
Student Association project. The
program will be worth your time to
see and hear, so we'll be looking for
you on the 8th of January.
Howard Hein, President
Associated Students
Zeta Kappa is announcing the
second annual Memory Lane program, to be presented on Saturday
Auditorium on the campus of Auburn Academy. Those who attended Memory Lane last year will
surely plan to come and we invite
others to join them. Tickets are
available from Zeta Kappa, Auburn
Academy, Auburn, Washington.
Adults, 35c—Children 25c.
School Programs
It was the writer's privilege to be I
present for the entire program at two
schools recently—Kirkland and Bellingham. Both of these were well rendered
and showed considerable thought, planning and hard work on the part of
both teachers and students. I was also
at part of the program given at the
Monroe Union school. Much thought
and work had also been given to this
one and I feel sure that had I seen it
all, I would have the same impression
that I do about the other two mentioned. I also enjoyed a band concert
put on by the students of Seattle Junior
Academy under the direction of Brother
William Dopp. He surely is doing
a fine job with his band as is also Miss
Lena Sanders with her chorus at S.J.A.
We wish to thank all teachers for the
strong way they have led out in these
programs.
No doubt, there scarcely is a school
in the conference that has not had a
similar worthwhile program within the
last six weeks. Rightly selected parts,
well-prepared and fused into a logical
program do, when nicely rendered,
leave a feeling of gratitude in the
hearers' minds for the church school
system. We appreciate our teachers
thus bringing to their patrons' attention
the valuable work that is being done
in our church schools, and which might
be unnoticed or not thought of if the
school did not put on such an exhibition
once or twice a year. Between programs, however, we would urge you
patrons to visit your schools and see
for yourselves the progress being made.
You will go away, more than satisfied
for whatever sacrifice you may be
making.
V. R. JEWETT.

On Saturday night, December 11, a
group from our Book and Bible House
conducted a book sale in the Bellingham church. A large number of our
church members were present to take
advantage of this opportunity to choose
Christmas gifts from the fine selection
of books and Bibles on display. The
sound motion picture, "The Birth of a
New World", was shown in connection
with this gathering. We are happy to
report that the total sales amounted to
$343.13, and wish especially to express
our appreciation to Elder R. J. Winders
and Brother Frank Phillips for their
fine cooperation in working out arrangements for this meeting.
Special meetings conducted by the
Commission on Rural Living were held
in the Green Lake church in Seattle,
December 17 to 19. The principal
speaker was Dr. E. A. Sutherland of
the General Conference. Also featured
were Elder G. W. Chambers and Elder

The union conference colporteur institute is in session at the Auburn
Academy as this is being written. About
sixty colporteurs are in attendance at
this important meeting.
Recent visitors to our office included
Paul Limerick, principal of Loma Linda
Academy in California, and Elder and
Mrs. Charles Nagele from our union
office.
Plans are going forward in a definite
way for an effort to be held in the
White Center church beginning Sunday
night, February 6. We trust that all
of our people living in that area will
begin to plan to assist in this effort in
a very definite way by their prayers
and attendance. Meetings will be held
Sunday, Wednesday and Friday nights
for eight or nine weeks. These meetings will be conducted by Elder Spillman and the Bible Prophecy Speaks
quartet, with Brother J. G. Ziegler in
charge of the music.
Reports of a splendid interest continue to come in from the Chehalis
area where Elder Roper and his company are holding their evangelistic
meetings, and we are looking forward
to a good harvest of souls in January.
Elder Osborn and his workers have
baptized and taken in on profession of
faith thirty-two in their Seattle effort
thus far. Prospects are good for more
souls in this effort.

Development of Professional Training
For Secondary Teachers
For the first thirty years after the
establishment of Walla Walla College
th - -lain business of the Normal Department was the finding and training
of church school teachers. A two-year
normal course was added first to eight
grades, later to ten, and in 1912 to
twelve grades of general education. So
well was the training program organized that in 1922 the State of Washington Department of Education gave
it full accreditation and granted elementary certificates to the graduates.
In the meantime new and pressing
needs had been developing from within
our own educational ranks. In some
church centers ten-grade or intermediate schools had been found necessary,
and in some conferences academies
had been started. In these advanced
schools a new type of teacher was
needed. To teach the higher branches
skillfully the instructor must have a
rich fund of information in the areas
to be taught. At first some teachers
were secured from the ranks of the
stronger and more experienced church
school teachers. Others were recruited
from among recent college graduates
who had neither teaching experience
nor teacher training. The inadequacy
of such procedure was very apparent,
and during the twenties a definite program of secondary teacher training
was developed. For those planning to
teach secondary subjects, the training
program corresponded to the normal
course for the elementary teachers.
Our other colleges had kept pace with
Walla Walla in this progressive move
so that in 1930 the General Conference
Department of Education established
specific requirements for secondary
certification to be effective in the North
American Division territory. Until that
time no certification requirement had
been made for any teacher above the
elementary grades. The 1930 requirements have remained practically unchanged since their adoption and, in
brief, consist of the following requisites:
graduation from a four year curriculum
as outlined by our senior colleges; twenty-three quarter hours in professional
subjects as listed, including five hours
of directed teaching; and designated
minimum requirements in content fields
to ensure a reasonable knowledge of
iect matter to be taught. Certification is now by specific subjects and
must be carefully anticipated by the
prospective teacher as he makes his
choice of major and minor studies in
college.
With the passing of the years, the
total program of Christian education
has been greatly enlarged in the North
Pacific Union Conference. More children and youth in our schools call for
more teachers in preparation at Walla
Walla College. We are happy that the
spirit in the College measures up to
the need in the field and that our fine
Christian college men and women in
increasing numbers are dedicating
their lives to the blessed work of teaching.

Colporteur Follow-up
"In the morning sow thy seed, and in
the evening withhold not thine hand:
for thou knowest not whether shall
prosper, either this or that, or whether
they both shall be alike good." Ecc.
11:6.
Brother J. M. Williams called on a
lady a few months ago and sold her
some of our literature. As the lady
seemed exceptionally interested in
spiritual things, Brother Williams gave
her a Bible study. Before leaving, he
enrolled her in our free Bible correspondence course. As a result of Brother Williams following up this interest,
together with some meetings that she
was able to attend, she accepted the
message and is now a member of the
church.

Nyssa Church Organized
On Sabbath afternoon, December 18,
Elder Clarence C. Kott, president of
the Idaho Conference, conducted the
organization of the newly formed
church in Nyssa, Oregon. The new
church is composed of twenty charter
members, seven of whom were recently
baptized as a result of a tent effort
held here in the late summer by Elder
L. E. Tucker and Hugh Cowles.
Immediately following Elder Kott's
charge to the new church a nucleus was
formed of the three longest baptized
members. These three were Sister
Mollie Nelson, Sister Naomi Buchert
and Sister Frank Johnson. The remaining charter members were added
to this group one by one. This ceremony of organization was an inspiration to the visitors attending as well
as the charter members.
Besides the charter members already
mentioned there are the following:
Brother Frank Johnson, Sister Tarzan
Johnson, Brother and Sister Herbert
Newell, Brother and Sister Ben Morris,
Marcella Morris, Wanita Morris, Sister
Lucille Woodier Brother and Sister

living in this community. We thank
God for His guidance and for the answering of these prayers.

Greetings From Texas
For us to leave Idaho and the Northwest did seem very hard, but after

MR. AND MRS. J. RANDALL SLOOP.
