... and ye
came
unto me,
In the words o f the L iving B ible, Isaiah says o f G od’s people, " I the Lord
'
have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. . . . Y o u shall also be a light to
guide the nations unto me. Y o u will open the eyes of the blind and release those
*
who sit in prison darkness.” Isaiah 4 2 :6, 7.
W o rld attention has been focused the last few weeks on the prisons o f Vietnam.
^
T here has been great expectancy am ong relatives and friends o f prisoners of w ar
t
who have been confined, many for years. N ow that release for these prisoners
has been negotiated and many of them have already returned to their homes and
M ATTHEW
2 5 :3 6
freedom we rejoice in the Lord for this wonderful accomplishment.
*
F o r many of the prisoners freedom was like opening the eyes of the blind.
Some of them for years had been out of communication with w hat was going on
in the outside world. Suddenly darkness was removed and they could once again
participate in life free from prison restraints.
„
T he Seventh-day Adventist Church has traditionally directed p art of its
missionary endeavor to the prisons and jails — our houses o f restraint in many lands.
«*
F ro m these endeavors many persons have come to know Christ as personal Lord
and Saviour.
T he Scriptures tell o f many incidents of prison life for G od’s representatives.

RECORD.
■*
M any times G od’s innocent have been confined as criminals fo r standing fo r
principles little understood by those that ruled over them. O ther incidents tell of
*
conversions o f inmates because of a demonstration o f the power o f G od in the lives
14
of G od’s people.
,
Some of those who were confined in prison included Samson, Joseph, Jerem iah,
Jo h n the Baptist, Peter, Paul, and other of G od’s spokesmen through the ages.
'
A t certain periods of history prison was as a second home for those who would
obey the truth.
Christ taught that great empathy and concern should be characteristic o f a people
planning to make heaven their home. H e taught also that deeds perform ed for
^
prisoners were many times to be classified as deeds done unto H im self. T o give a cup
of cold water, o r have a friendly visit, o r say a kind word was im portant to Him.
N o t only was His concern for the prisoner o f physical confinement but H e set

himself to bring out the prisoners of sin. His was a work of complete restoration.
In the Southwestern Union territory there are thousands of houses of restraint,
prisons, and jails filled with potential children o f God. H ave they had a visit
from your church? W ill Christ be able to say of you in the day o f judgm ent,
" I was in prison in the person of------------------------- , and ye came unto m e.” ?

W h at do these words mean? They
are names of villages and towns where
♦
Seventh-day Adventists are at work.
In Kajiado, Kenya, a new clinic is
'
serving the Masai. Shashamani, Ethio„ pia, is the location of our Ethiopian
College Clinic, and Menyamya in New
^ G uinea marks the location of an Ad­
ventist Aid Post.
»
I had no idea such places existed
until I checked the list of Adventist
institutions in the General Conference
^
statistical reports this m orning.
N or did I know that such languages
as Sesuto and Sinhala are numbered
am ong m ore than 557 languages used
«
by Seventh-day Adventist missionaries.
Sesuto, I was told, is spoken in Lesotho.
► T h a t is interesting, but where on earth
^ is Lesotho? T h a t little country, I
found, is located in the eastern part
of South Africa. Sinhala is spoken in
Ceylon. Maybe such is ancient history
t
to you, but to me this was completely
new and inform ative.
T h is, by God’s grace, is the Seventhday Adventist church of 1973 — a
growing, vibrant organization carrying
4 the message of hope around the world
to people in little-known villages and
well-known cities. I count it a privi­
lege to be num bered with you as part
■» of this worldwide m ovem ent of more
than two million people.
It is rew arding to help build a new
school, pack relief supplies, or provide
money to aid earthquake and flood
^ victims. B u t how easy to forget that
our continued and steady support of
V the church’s established work — hospi­
tals, schools, evangelism, and personal
*
ministry — is w hat really makes our
church grow. W ith ou t the “estab’ lished” work there would be no organi­
zation through which we could budd
new schools o r distribute help to disaster victims.
Happily, you and I may walk today
in the m ountains near Menyamya,
New Guinea with Adrian R . Craig,
the aid post director, am ong the
K uK uKuK u people, some of the most
primitive tribes on earth. Craig and
^
the “D octor Boys” will carry medical
kits and supplies which you helped

provide.

A long line of outpatients are queing up outside the College Clinic in
Shashimani, Ethiopia. W e are there
too, because we shared in supplying
medicines and equipm ent to heal the
many aches and pains in that long
waiting line of sufferers.
And we are carrying supplies into
the new Masai Clinic in Kenya this
morning, too. Yes, through the Spring
Mission Offering on M arch 17, we
shall help m ore than 1,300,000 ou tp a­
tients around the world this year.
Seventh-day Adventist schools will
open their doors to approxim ately
300,000 students during 1973, because
you and I have shared consistently
through such im portant offerings as
the Spring Mission Offering.
And we could go on listing the many
faceted activities of our church which
shall benefit from ou r continuing
support.
Really, when we give, we are giving
to ourselves, because our giving hastens
the completion of our mission. When
our mission is completed, we shall
share in the Kingdom!

day, aren’t you? And I am happy to
have a share with you through the

By the way, I wonder what ou r dol­

Sesuto and Sinhala?

C O N FER E N C E
F o r the second consecutive year Bi­
ble course applications have shown a
marked increase at Voice of Prophecy
headquarters according to 1972 yearend statistics just released by the VOP
Field Service office.
A total of 439,101 applications for
Bible courses were received in 1972,
a gain of m ore than 77,000 over 1971 ’s
total of 361,954, VOP officials report,
and a gain of nearly 160,000 over 1970’s
applications. These were the first sig­
nificant gains seen in V OP Bible course
applications since 1963.
A p art of this total increase was re­
flected in the Southwestern Union
where applications rose from 24,099 in
1971 to 25,627 in 1972.
“T h is upsurge in Bible study gives
us cause for great rejoicing,” says Elder
H . M. S. Richards, J r ., director-speaker
of the Voice of Prophecy. “At the same
time we are grateful to every person in
the Southwestern U nion who has in­
vited someone else to take a Bible
course in 1972. It is a known fact that
most of these applications come when
one person asks another to en roll.”
A nother significant gain in baptisms
through the radio-Bible school-public
crusade ministry of the Voice of Proph­
ecy was revealed by the report. Across
North Am erica there were 4,779 per­
sons baptized, 1,291 m ore than in 1971
for a 37% increase.
In the Southwestern Union the per
cent increase was also excellent. T h ere
were 250 baptized in 1972 com pared to
188 in 1971.

One day Bill was saying grace at a

straining to listen. “Speak up,” said
L. B. J ., “I can ’t hear you.”
“I wasn’t talking to you,” replied
Moyers.

I t ’s hardly news anymore when sep­
tuagenarian H ulda Crooks takes her
"
annual trek to the top of 14,496-foot
Mt. W hitney. So in 1972 the 76-year
*
old research assistant at L om a L ind a
^
University climbed the peak for the
11th straight year — and added two
^
pack trips across the rugged High
Sierra M ountains of California within
■<
three weeks of each other. T o ta l dis­
tance covered: 130 miles.

Five-foot, one-inch tall Mrs. Crooks
began hiking at the urging of her late
husband. Since 1961, she and her two
-r-*
brothers, also in their seventies, have
been familiar sights on the 10i/^-mile
wtrail to the summit of M t. W hitney,
the highest m ountain in the contiguH
ous U nited States.
^
In 1971, she climbed the m ountain
at the end of a 70-mile pack trip
through the H igh Sierras. T h e first
trip this year began in
Sequoia Na- v
tional Park and ended at W hitney
Portal after clim bing M t. W hitney.

RECORD
T h e excursion covered 80 miles. She
and her three hiking com panions aver­
aged 12 miles a day. T w o weeks later
Mrs. Crooks hiked 50 miles into Yosemite N ational Park.
Mrs. Crooks starts out on her pack
trips carrying a 30-pound pack. T o get
in shape for some of h er hikes she
walks to work and back toting a 40pound rock-filled pack. As part of her
daily routine, w hether planning for a
hike or not, Mrs. Crooks jogs a mile
every m orning. She has her time down
to 11 m inutes, she says.
In the last couple of years Mrs.
Crooks has noticed a big increase in
the num ber of youth on the trail. Some
of them learn through the hikers’
grapevine that she is on the trail and
they go out of their way to m eet her.
"T h e re is no generation gap on the
trail,” she says. “Young people like to
talk to me. T h ey see me doing things
at my age that they hope to be able to
do someday, too.”
T h ou gh many of the young hikers
she meets have shoulder-length hair,
she says their appearance doesn't
bother her at all. “T h e ir hairstyles
aren 't im p ortant,” says Mrs. Crooks.
“T h ey have such beautiful smiles and
such open faces.”
“T h e kids I meet on the trail all
seem to be searching for som ething,”
she notes. “T h ey are very interested in
religion, proper diet, and good health.
I like to chat with them about all three
subjects. M eeting all these young peo­
ple have made my most recen t trips the
most fun ones I've ever h ad.”
Mrs. Crooks says she hasn't decided
where to go this year for an encore.
But chances are her 12th ascent of Mt.
W hitney will be on the itinerary.

A fter his death in April, 1972, many
of these business friends expressed to
his family their desire to contribute
something toward a mem orial to him.
T h ey knew that his church was very
dear to him, and suggested the family
build something for the church. As a
result they decided that a sign was
needed for the new Shreveport First

T h e following is from Mrs. W ilbur

His church activities included more
than 20 years of dedicated service
as first elder and when he could no
longer hold that office he continued
his missionary work in a selfless m an­

Mr. Simpson expressed admirable
qualities including honesty, sincerity,

fn addition to this lovely sign, the
cotton plantation owners always con­
tribute to Ingathering each year.
B rother Simpson always raised more
than $ 1,000 from his business contacts
for Ingathering. Because of his associa­
tion with these p lantation owners and
his constant witness, as is noted in the
tribute to him , they knew that he was
a Seventh-day Adventist Christian and
one very dedicated to his church and
to God.
W e in the Shreveport First church

Plainview Reports
1 0 0 % Participation for
1972 Investm ent
“W e had a total of $633.30 for In ­
vestment for 1972,” reports Mrs. Lois
Bull, Investm ent leader. Plainview,
Arkansas, is a little town, but it has
a very active Seventh-day Adventist
Church with a membership of 24.
Mrs. Bull listed a few of the projects
6
which the members pursued for their
Sabbath School Investm ent. “Tw o
ranchers gave $2.00 for each viable calf
born during the year on their ranches,”
she said. Others sold garden vegetables,
box-holder coupons, baked goods, col­
lected pop bottles, and did baby-sitting.
A ccording to Mrs. Bull the Plainview
church had 100% participation and is
now getting set for another successful
Investm ent year in 1973.

Services center function. An interview
with Mrs. T h elm a W hite, director of
the H ot Springs center, revealed a
growing and an active program . In fact,
that very day one could see that there
was expansion, new shelves, and new
projects in the offing.
T h e little frame building which
houses the equipm ent and clothing was
rath er small, according to Mrs. W hite.
But with the “love offerings” of the
church we bought nearly $ 1,000 worth
of lum ber and m aterial for a new
room ,” reported the leader. Several
men of the church volunteered their
services to do the carpentry, wiring,
and painting. Now the center offers a
health-food service which the com­
m unity appreciates. T h e proceeds are
plowed back into the operation of the
center.
Among the signs of progress was new
equipm ent — washing m achine, dryer,
and food freezer. “O ur center is listed
with the W elfare D epartm ent, Red
Cross, Salvation Army, Sheriff’s D epart­
m ent, etc. Many times we are the first
on the scene after a fire,” remarked
Mrs. W hite.
It was not difficult to see that these
people were doing a work of love. D ur­
ing the interview an official from a
H ot Sp rin gs, A rk a n sa s, C o m m u n ity S e r v ­
ic es C e n t e r .
governm ent agency brought a young
adult for the very services that Mrs.
W hite and her volunteers were known
to give. A fter that person was helped,
prayer for God’s love was offered and
an enrollm ent taken for the Voice of
Prophecy N E W L I F E Bible course.
As we left that day with two boxes
of neatly pressed and packed clothes
for the conference emergency van, we
also left with a warm feeling akin to
that of the R ed Cross director . . . “I
can always depend on your people.”

Fishers to Return to
M issio n Field
Elder H. R . Fisher, chaplain of (ay
M emorial H ospital and Ja y church
pastor for one year and eight months,
is on his way back to Malawi to serve
as adm inistrative secretary of the North
Lake Field in the South-East Africa
U nion.
A fter leaving T u lsa Intern ation al
A irport on M arch 19, he and his family
will stay over a day and visit our hospi­
tal in R io de Jan eiro , Brazil, en route
to Johannesburg, Salisbury, and Blantyre. Accom panying him are his wife,
Mrs. M ary Fisher (nee A n d erso n ); and
their children: Frederick Thom as, age
seven; Elizabeth M arie, age five; and
Bruce Anthony, age three. T h e three
children were all born in Malawi where
the Fishers served five years — from
1965-1970 followed by one year at
Inyazura Secondary School in Rhodesia
where Elder Fisher was principal.
Elder Fisher’s home is at Bristow,
Oklahom a, where his m other and two
brothers reside. Mrs. Fisher is from the
L om a Linda, California, area where she
attended academy and com pleted her
B.S. in nursing education in 1964 si­
m ultaneously with her husband who
received his masters in health educa­
tion — both from L om a L in d a U n i­
versity.
T h e ir new home will be on the cam­
pus of M om bera Secondary School,
the operation of which is now totally
nationalized, except for Elder Fisher
assisting in the purchase of supplies

Sabbath school mission offerings up
62% during the same two-year period.
F o r the first tim e over $16,000 Ingath­

T h e 450 members of the Tulsa
church generated a combined total of
$201,048.65 for all the different finan­
cial appeals for the L o rd ’s work in
1972. Counting and keeping books for
all these funds are church treasurer,
Sara E arn hardt, and her assistants:
Bill E arn hardt, Don and Jo d y Beck,
and Cliff and Jack ie Newkirk.
and m echanical m aintenance. Mrs.
Fislier will supervise clinics of the
N orth Lake Field while E lder Fisher
will work with the field officers and the
local district pastors in prom oting the
total d iu rch program serving the N orth
one-third of the country.
T u lsa Tithe Soars
A b o v e $100,000 Figure
T h e T u lsa church passed a milestone
during 1972 when it’s members re­
turned $100,762.27 tithe. T h is figure
represents a 5 3% increase in two years,
and is the first time in the history of
the Oklahom a Conference that one
church has tithed over $ 100,000.00 in
one year.

Texas Youth G ath er in San Antonio
for A n n u al Com m itm ent Council
If opposites attract, the youth proved
it again; cool, wet w eather didn’t
dampen the spirit of warm th and love
felt at the Youth Com m itm ent Council
held in the San A ntonio Ju n io r Acad­
emy, February 15-18. T h is is the first
time a council ventured from boarding
academy campuses. Observers felt it
was very successful. T h e hospitality ex­
tended to the youth by church mem­
bers in San A ntonio in providing hous­
ing was second to none.
About 200 high school-age youth and
their sponsors rolled into the Alamo
City arm ed with their Bibles, sleeping
rolls, and a friendly Christian spirit.
T h ere was much joyful singing with
the youth and “ Brother W ayne” T h urber.
Inspiring messages by Elder Charles
Dart and Elder L eR oy J . Leiske were
special features of the weekend. In ter­
esting discussions were triggered by
questions and films. Parents should
have heard the fine conclusions when
the youth groups presented their ob­
servations about the ideal Christian
home.
Greg Davis, with the “Youth of
N ote” under the direction of G arland
Peterson of C T A led out in an inspir­
ing Sabbath school before a full house
at the Laurel Heights church on Sab­
bath morning.
T h e solemnity of the closing candle­
light comm union service confirmed the
com m itm ent the youth had m ade to
Christ during the two and a half days
together.

In g a th e rin g Report
T h e treasurer’s books for ou r 1973
Ingathering crusade have been closed
and it is with m ixed emotions that I
write this article. W e do rejoice over
God’s blessing on this just completed
crusade because a lot of good was done
for H is work in the earth. T h e to­
tal raised by the T e x a s Conference
churches this year is $252,356.56.
T h e Silver V anguard goal for the
conference was §258,275.00. So you see
we did not achieve Silver Vanguard
status again and it would have been
good to do so for we regret to break
a chain of successes. W e probably could
give several reasons why it worked out
as it did, but why don’t we just do our
very best to plan and work for a suc­
cessful crusade n ext fall.
T h is is still a large am ount of funds
that have come into the church and
they will be used for the L o rd in help­
ing to m eet some of the w orld’s needs
as we find them. W e appreciate the
good work done by our pastors, lay­
men, and youth. L e t’s continue to wit­
ness and work faithfully for our God
so as to bring honor and glory to His
name, strength to His church, and
m inister to the world’s needs.

W e e k o f Prayer
From February 4-10 we were priviledged to have E lder D. J . Sandstrom
at Jefferson Academy for the spring
week of prayer.
H e spoke on m any topics during his
two-meetings-a-day schedule. One topic
was on health and how we should find
ou t what is best for our bodies and
then do it.
One night he spoke on the different
ways in which we should be thankful
to the L ord for the things H e has done
for us. H e also gave us a preview of
missionary life by showing films of the
mission work being done in South
Am erica. From these films one could
see th at a missionary’s life can often be
full of m any hardships and discourage­
ments but that these were easily over­
come by the help and blessings sent
from God.
¡Many of us got to know Elder Sand­
strom personally, including me; and I
found him to be a person who is genu­
ine, honest, and willing to help. H e
joined in virtually all activities in­
cluding our regularly scheduled basket­
ball games. H e was able to bridge the
gap between himself and the students.
Most everyone felt free to talk to him.

11,000 of them ; newspaper ads., and
television coverage had alerted the en­
tire area that something was going to
take place in N orth McAllen. F o r two
weeks prior to the meetings, two large
4 x 1 6 foot signs, one facing north and
one south had called attention to pass­
ing motorists of the upcom ing event.
M embers of both P h arr and Edinburg
churches and the McAllen Spanish
church had helped in distributing
handbills and in oth er ways to prepare
the field for the harvest.
O pening night, clear and cold, found
the airatorium full with near to 250
people crowded in. T h ey came from
Brownsville, H arlingen, W eslaco, and
the McAllen area — church members
and non-members old and young to
hear the message. A pproxim ately 40
non-members came out the first night.
T h rou ghout the first week attendance
has held up very well, with attendance
at 140 and up with non-member at­
tendance ranging from 25 to 40. T h e
messages have been a real blessing to
members alone, and many non-mem­
bers seem to be real interested. In the
first call for surrender on Sabbath
m orning, 13 people came forward,
seven for baptism and others for re­
consecration.
E lder T . E. Dennis of the PharrEdinburg churches and Elder Pascual
Pena, pastor of the McAllen Spanish
church, have been helping Elder M illet
in the services and the visitation pro­
gram. Elder Lynn Baerg of the W eslaco
district also has been giving strong
support to the program and has been
translating the message ead i evening
to a group of Spanish people who un­
derstand that language best. Souls will
be won to Christ, members will be
added to the churches, but only eter­
nity will reveal the com plete results
of the work here.

"B e n e fits ” of T V
“T V and T h e e ” is the name of the
film which members of the Keene
Hom e and School Association saw just
a few weeks ago. “T V and T h e e ” is a
very interesting, discussion-type film.
T h ere are four places during the showing where audience participation is encouraged. T h e p rojector is cut off, and
the lights are turned on. At the Keene
meeting four panelists, Elders T h u rb er,
Sandstrom, Kilgore, and Mrs. Jim
Bothe, with the use of microphones,
gave the audience a chance to participate oit the scenes just shown on the
screen. Not all questions are answered
in the film, but after all, that would be
very difficult, w ouldn’t it?
T h e question is asked in the film,
"H ow can you w atch T V to the glory
of God?” T h e last point in the film

Investm ent Fair
H e lp s Swell 1972
to Banner Y e a r
T h e Albuquerque Heights church
has initiated an aggressive 1973 Invest­
m ent program after a banner year in
1972. Again this year, under the lead­
ership of Mrs. H . H . Bayless, there is
trem endous enthusiasm for the pro­
gram that stresses a “partnership with
the L o rd .” If indications portend
things to come, we should have an
even better year than we had in 1972.
F o r instance, a num ber of individu­
als have volunteered to m atch the
am ounts received for Investm ent in
each Sabbath school division. From all
appearances, the generosity of these
individuals will not go unclaimed.
T o add an extra impetus to the
program , a social h ou r and Investment
fair was held at the Heights church
the evening of February 3. T h e pur­
pose for the fair was to allow all Sab­
bath school members to tell about their
projects and to offer their products for
sale. T h e idea proved to be a success,
with a wide variety of products shown
12
and a fair am ount of money coming
in for Investm ent. Perhaps the most
surprising aspect of the fair was the
wide variety of delightful products be­
ing shown. Participants displayed vari­
ous items of artwork, both useful and
decorative. Others have devoted por­
tions of income from sales, saved pen­
nies, given p art of their raises, thank
offerings, etc. T h e entire list is quite
long.
W e expect to receive m ore than
§1,000 for ou r Investm ent this year as
the L ord continues to bless.

Everyone attending enjoyed the fel­

as Sammy went through his h eart­

T h e dimmed interior of the Keene
Seventh-day Adventist Church glowed
with candles as the Nursing Depart­

presented its annual Dedication-Cap­
ping service Friday evening, Jan u ary
26. A total of 36 students, 25 women
and 11 men, received their caps and
epaulets, making the largest class of
student nurses to participate in this
impressive consecration service.
T h e program itself was unique in
that the students presented it them­
selves. T h e freshmen nursing class, in
long black skirts, did the honors of

way down the aisle with their candles.
Following the processional, Paul Bradrick. offered the invocation. As has been
tradition, the Gideon Society presented
each student nurse with a beautiful
white pocket-size New Testam en t. Deb­
bie Stone gave a “T rib u te to Parents,”
for surely, behind each successful stu­
dent nurse stand two dedicated par­
ents. She was followed by a vocal octet,
1 “ H e W en t A bout Doing Good,” by
members of the class.
L an e Casey and M yrna Fisher spoke
on the “Adventure of Service.” Life to
the student nurse is really a challenge.
In nursing, five senses are needed in
addition to the five usually thought of.
These five are: the sense of adventure,
responsibility, hum or, empathy, and a
sense of the invisible. Jan n ette Powers
followed with thoughts on the attitude
of nursing.

three “C ’s” in nursing: care, cure, co­
ordination. These are the concepts put
forth by the American Nursing Asso­
ciation. N ext was a selection by Be­
linda Porras. B arbara W hite and Merri
Beth Smith played a flute duet, "O h
L et Me W alk with T h e e .” Dan Votli
spoke on the “ Ministry of Jesus.” H e
told how Christ went about doing good;
how he had compassion toward the
weak and afflicted. Evidence of the
real dedication in nurses came through
as L aura Burgtorf presented T h e Mis­
sionary Nurse.”
T h e theme of the program was
“Service.” Mrs. Shirley Pinterich, R .N .,
chairm an of the Nursing D epartm ent,
reminded us of our unique role as stu­
dent nurses. She said, “ Nursing is the
promise of help and hope and love
given by the dedicated Nightingales
who are and ever will be.”
T h e cap and epaulets and their
meaning were explained along with a
challenge to serve Christ. Mrs. P in ter­
ich said, “ Nursing is Christianity with
its sleeves rolled u p .”
M arline H olland had a “prayer be­
fore capping,” asking for G od’s bless­
ing on each student nurse as he takes
up his career as a nurse.
Finally came the m om ent all the
students had been waiting for — the
presentation of the nurse’s cap or
white shoulder epaulets. Like the caps,
the epaulets are symbols of service and
devotion. Presenting these were junior
and senior student nurses from U nion
College, D enver campus, and registered
nurses who were mothers o r close
friends. Each sophomore knelt as the
cap was placed on her head or the
epaulets on his shoulder. A fter receiv­
ing the cap or epaulet, each student’s
lamp was lighted by “Florence Night­
ingale,” Mrs. Cheryl St. Clair, R .N .,
instructor in nursing.
T h e Nightingale Pledge was said in
unison and a prayer of consecration
was offered by Jo len e T u m a, R .N .,
instructor of med-surgical nursing,
Denver Campus, U nion College. As its
dedication hymn, the class sang “T h in e
Arm, Oh Lord, in Days of O ld.” T h is
dedication service was not only one of
the most sacred services of the school
year, but was also one of the most
beautiful and happy occasions.

B rother Harvey Yawn is dedicated
to the great and sacred work of win­
ning souls to Jesus. Because of his dedi­
cation he has al­
ready given many
years of his life to
the scattering of the
heavenly seeds of
truth. These grains
of truth are in the
many thousands of
books and m aga­
zines he has sold

souls. His devotion
has led him to scorn
attractive offers that carried promises of
fine bonuses and high wages. His vision
has opened before him the great be­
yond where he has seen very real and
very certain rewards of the faithful.
His dedication is made ever so plain
to all who watch his work. L on g hours,
constant study for self-improvement,
ever ready to try a new method of gain­
ing the attention of added thousands
of prospective customers. H arvey’s con­
stant program of work and self-im­
provem ent has paid off in many ways.
God has blessed his work and in 1972
he stood out as top literature evangelist
for the entire Southwestern U nion with
deliveries of $23,124.16.
His exam ple of dedicated service has
led others into the literature work.
B rother Yawn has often said, “If God
can do this for me, H e can do it for
you.” W e urge you to consider B rother
Yaw n’s exam ple. Pray for him, and if
God should call you to follow in his
footsteps, hasten to contact your pub­
lishing leader. H e will be m ore than
happy to answer your questions and
show you the potential for you in this

Jan u ary 12 found the literatu re evan­
gelists of the Arkansas-Louisiana C on­
ference making their way to Shreveport
for the conference-wide rally held J a n ­
uary 1 2 - 1 4 in the Shreveport First
church.
All the meetings were well attended
and we appreciated so very much Elder
Frank Sherrill’s heart-searching mes­
sage Friday night and E lder M. E.
C ulpepper’s stirring sermon Sabbath
m orning. W e wish to thank them and
all the others who had a p art on the
program . T h e Sabbath afternoon sym­
posium and vespers service was most
refreshing spiritually. Everyone who
attended gained a great blessing, and
we all had a w onderful time of fellow­
ship together.
Among those who attended the rally
were the top five workers for the year
1972. W e take our hats off to these men
for their outstanding achievement.
Pictured with this article are these
five workers for God; devoted to their
calling — the literature ministry of the
church. T h ese men, with happy greet­
ings and a solid handshake, are always
ready with a kind word — attributes
blessed of God that have resulted in
their outstanding achievements in lit­
erature sales during 1972. H . A. Yawn
took top place in sales for 1972; M. B.
Reedy, second place; T h om as E. Sim­
ons, third place; R . A. Snell, fourth
place; and E arl Gwinn, fifth place.
B rother Reedy has many other duties
in addition to sales. H e is serving full­
time as colporteur-pastor, in charge of
the Pine Bluff and Stuttgart, Arkansas,
churches. B roth er Snell achieved fourth
place in just six months. Earl Gwinn
is first elder for the Batesville, A rkan­
sas, church.
W e just had to introduce these front
runners to you. As you ponder what
God has done through them, consider

pressed and influences others beyond
our control. Active doubt leads to selfdeception as little by little the mind
shuts out every ray of evidence.”
Unlike many other books on this
topic, B eyond the Shadow of a D oubt
presents a positive, aggressively hope­
ful perspective. “God has never prom ­
ised to alter circumstances o r to re­
lease us from trouble and bodily in­
firmities. Circumstances and crisis are
of secondary concern. T h e grace which
brings inward strength to endure is a
higher m anifestation of grace than the
mere mastery of difficulties.”
H e writes, “Grace is not something
to be used by us when the occasion de­
mands, but Someone at work within
us.”
B eyond the Shadow of a D oubt pre­
sents the truth that G od’s love and
grace are the answers to our needs.
“T h e appeal of God all through Scrip­
ture is that we learn to depend on Him
fully in handling the comm odity we
call life.”

hopeless, but with H im it becomes a
vibrant, joyous experience.

faith continues to accept the available
evidence and then thrusts its hand
through all shadows to grasp the fur­
ther reality beyond.”

N ew Recording H onors
Late V io lin ist
Bridge Records of M ountain View,
C alifornia, has just released a stereo,
long-play album featuring the final
concert of well-known Riverside violin­
ist, the late Alfred W alters. W alters
died of cancer on Decem ber 11, 1972,
just days after the album reached
Southern California distributors.
T h e music for the album was re­
corded at a live concert at L om a Linda
University in M arch of 1972, and was
W alters’ first appearance on the con­
cert stage after his right leg had been
am putated in an effort to stop the
growth of a m alignant cancer.
“T h e concert was a personal trium ph
for W alters,” says Lily Pan Diehl, as­
sistant professor of music at California
Baptist College in Riverside and accompaniest for W alters at the per­
form ance. P rior to his university con­
cert, Professor W alters cancelled a tour
of South Am erica because of his illness.
In place of the tour, he sent a tape re­
cording of his music to colleagues in
South America. It was subsequently
m ade into a record and sold through­
ou t South Am erica, with proceeds go­
ing to aid needy young people.
D uring the past few years, Professor
W alters concertized all over the U nited
States, Canada, M exico, Hawaiian Is­
lands, and Europe until illness forced
him to reduce his schedule.
T h e recently released album is en­
titled “Reach-out ’7 2 ” It includes works
by Brahms, V eracini, Debussy, and
Kresler. Several solo piano pieces by
Lily Pan Diehl and a tribute to W alters
by Lom a L in d a U niversity President
David J . Bieber were presented at the
15
program and are included on the re­
lease. T h e concert com m em orated W al­
ters’ 25 years of service at L om a Linda
University.

RECORD
A PREVIEWOF WHAT’S
COMING IS11973
PUIS A FREESAMPLE!
THE CROSS AND THE NEEDLE
They say once you're on heroin you can never make it
back. No matter how many times you kick. But they're
wrong. And this true story proves it. You can make it. But
there's only one way. To introduce the new Redwood
pocket paperbacks, THE CROSS AND THE NEEDLE is yours
free with your order for the other three new books de­
scribed. Retail price is $1.95 in paperback.
TRAPPED IN DEATH VALLEY
One hundred and ten wagons had started the long trek
across country to California. Now, with supplies nearly
exhausted, only two w agons were left. As winter set in,
George Bennett's family, with the Arcanes and two scouts,
was trapped in Death Valley. Read what happens in Vinnie
Ruffo's unforgettable new book, TRAPPED IN DEATH
VALLEY. A Panda book at $1.95 in paperback.
THE GLAD TIDINGS
In 1888, a young doctor gave a lecture that rocked the
newly founded Seventh-day Adventist Church. His nam e
was Ellet J. W aggoner, and his m essage of righteousness
by faith, discovered in the book of G alatians, touched off
a revival and reformation in the church that still continues.
THE GLAD TIDINGS, a book that has becom e a church
classic, is his own penetrating commentary on Paul's often
difficult book of G alatians. $2.25 in the Dimension series.
LAST TIGER OUT
He w as one of the country's ten best jet fighter pilots. But
he w as also a subversive. This is the dram atic story of
"Tiger'' Dan Mauker who joined a secret underground
organization to destroy his government— a step that
eventually led him to a solitary bom bing mission over the
p alace of President Sukarno. A mission that also led from
near death to new life. Written b y Jan Doward, author of
the best seller THE SEVENTH ESCAPE. $4.95 in hardback.
Publication date February 15, 1973.

God H on ors Faith
N othing is m ore essential to dynamic Christian liv­
ing than the possession of a living faith in a living God.
Men and women of faith are those who move the world
in the right direction. It is the number one requirement
for victorious Christian living. One small grain of faith
in G od can make a rather ordinary person extra-ordi­
nary. In fact, if you have just enough faith to accept
the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, you will
live fo re v e r! Think of it — eternal life — by faith. The
Bible says it. "B y grace are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: it is the g ift o f G o d :” Ephe­
sians 2 :8.
It is faith that opens the door. It is your faith in God
and His power that will give you victory and power in
your life. There is no other way. It is the one absolute
essential to spiritual grow th. Scripture makes it plain.
"W ith o u t faith it is impossible to please H im .” Hebrews
1 1 :6 .
If someone were to ask me what is the greatest need
of church members today, I would reply in one second
— "G reater faith in G o d !” Faith is greater than grace,
because w ithout faith you will never know the benefits
and the blessings and the spiritual dynamics o f G od’s
mighty saving grace. G od is rich in grace. Grace is al­
ways there. It never varies. God always has ample grace
for every need. It is inexhaustible. But faith is some­
thing else. It is your part — the hand that reaches up to
the hand that is reaching down. Unless you have enough
faith to step out — to reach up your hand — you will
never know the unlimited power residing in the hand
of God.
It takes faith to believe. "L o rd I believe — help thou
mine unbelief.” This is the cry of millions.
H ave faith in God. Have faith to believe, then move
out on faith alone. G od will do the rest — "according
to your faith .”
"G od H onors F aith ” has been my personal m otto in
my ministry. Y o u will always see it at the bottom of
this page. G od will honor your faith.

D O Y O U REALIZE?
• God cannot save you, unless you believe and come
to Him by faith in Jesus.
• Y o u cannot be a stalwart church member unless you
step out in faith and join the church, starting out as
a newborn babe.
• God cannot bless the kindnesses you do not perform .
He cannot even bless a smile you don’t give.
• H e can only forgive the sins we confess in faith. "H e
is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I Joh n 1 :9 .
• God cannot bless generosity you do not exhibit. Tithe
you do not pay is robbing G od and will cost you your
soul. T here is no promise to bless those who cheat
and undercut God.
• G od cannot bless a Bible study you don’t give o r a
prayer you didn’t pray in faith.
• God cannot bless an evangelistic outreach for souls
your pastor isn’t holding, o r support you are not
giving.
• God cannot bless a program for youth your church
didn’t have faith enough to start.
• G od cannot bless a boy o r a g irl with a Christian
education when you don’t send them to Christian
schools.
v
Faith is m oving forw ard for G od, simply because we
believe. T he w ord from heaven is clear. Go forw ard ! —
in faith. D o it now. God honors faith. G od will honor
y ou rs!
Y ours for m ore faith in God,
