It was 60 years ago that the Missionary Volunteer Department was officially organized on the General Conference level. Elder M. E. Kern was
elected as the leader of all Seventh-day Adventist youth around the world.
At this time the aim, "The Advent Message to All the World in This Generation," was chosen. During this 60-year period of growth, a comprehensive
youth program has been developed that helps meet the needs of our young
people in the spiritual, physical, educational, and social areas of their
lives. The youth of the Southwestern Union are among the finest young
people on the face of the earth. On the following pages are glimpses
of this youth program and Southwestern Union young people as they
participate in it.

from
your president
B. E. Leach
It's a pleasure to greet the youth of the great Southwestern Union as they celebrate their Diamond Jubilee. The story
of the development of the Missionary Volunteer program of the remnant church has been a thrilling one indeed. Our
young people, without question, are the greatest assets the church has. Their youthful vigor and enthusiastic outlook
on life adds a vital force to the work of carrying the gospel to the world in this generation.
Here in the Southwest the young people are on the go. We find them busy participating in various Share Your Faith
projects, and we find them vigorously engaged in healthful outdoor group activities. It is good to see the youth distributing literature, giving Bible studies, or preaching Voice of Youth sermons. It is also good to see them fellowshiping together as they climb a mountain pass or canoe through the obstacles of a swift-flowing river. The time of youth
.s wonderful — and especially so when it is spent in such worthwhile ways. We salute the Southwestern Union youth
_Ind pledge our support to their enthusiastic efforts for Christ.
B. E. Leach.

Voice of Youth Evangelism
Through this phase of Missionary Volunteering, Southwestern Union young people themselves, conduct genuine evangelistic meetings. They lay the groundwork,
choose the meeting place, plan the advertising, arrange
the music, and preach the sermons. The following is a
personal testimony by Merlin Starr, who recently participated in a Voice of Youth evangelism project.
"The privilege of having a small part in a Voice
of Youth effort was a great blessing to me as I
am sure it was to all who took part. I believe it
further impressed us with our need of divine guidance and power. I hope to see more efforts such
as the one in this area, for I believe it will lift
us up individually as well as carry the message to
those about us who need it so much."
Bible Evangelism
Perhaps one of the most effective evangelistic thrusts our
church has ever participated in is Bible In the Hand
evangelism. Southwestern Union youth have been very
active in this program. They seek out individuals who will
participate, leave a Bible with them, and return week
after week to help these people follow and understand the
prescribed course of study. Our youth enjoy doing this
because it fits beautifully into their aim, "The Advent
Message to All the World in This Generation."
Fireside Evangelism
In Fireside Evangelism, young people divide into teams
and learn one Bible study to perfection. These young
people then rotate, giving their study in a different home
each week. At the end of the series, each participating
home has received eight well-chosen Bible studies with
each one given by a different team of young people. This
is a very good plan and has led many to love the Bible
more and start a definite program of study on their own.
During the past four-year period, following this program
plus other conventional methods, the young people of
the Southwestern Union reported a total of 24,066 Bible
studies given. This figure tells an eloquent story of youth
participation in the church's work.
SOUTHWESTERN UNION RECORD
Bible Quiz Contest
On Sabbath, April 1, 1967, teams of young people representing the academies of the Southwestern Union met on
the campus of Sandia View Academy for the first of what
is to be an annual Southwestern Bible Quiz Contest. The
subject covered at this first contest was the four gospels
and the book, The Desire of Ages. Bible knowledge displayed by these young people was amazing; their answers were rapid and accurate. Programs such as this
help emphasize the importance of Bible study. Diana
Fiedler and Darrell Holtz from Sandia View Academy
were the winners of this first Southwestern Union Bible
Quiz.
Bible Conference
The Southwestern Union held it's first Bible Conference at
Camp Flaming Arrow, Hunt, Texas, April 19-22. Eightyfive young people from the academies of the Southwestern Union were chosen as delegates. These young
people were divided into small groups and participated
in deep Bible study, delving into topics of special importance to young people of this age. Numerous, wellknown Bible scholars served as their instructors. Among
these was Arthur White, grandson of Mrs. E. G. White.
The power of the Holy Spirit was very much in evidence
at this meeting and it proved to be a great value to all
those that attended. Another Bible conference was just
held October 4-8, 1967 and will be reported later.
Speech Contest
The annual Southwestern Union Temperance Speech Contest was held this year on the campus of Sandia View
Academy. In the surge of making liquor more available
through legalizing liquor by the drink and increased
emphasis on narcotics and mental deranging drugs, it is
all the more important for our own young people to understand the evils involved in these areas. The unionwide speech contest not only helped them to see these
things clearly but also assisted in equipping these young
people with knowledge to share with those in need
around them. Darrell Holtz of Sandia View Academy
was the winner of this year's speech contest.
Canoe Safari
The Southwestern Union organizes youth activities of various natures such as the Pecos Mountain Wilderness Pack
Trip, the Guatemala Mission Tour, and the recent San
Marcos River Canoe Safari. The Christian fellowship,
along with the inspiration of being in the great out-ofdoors, brought real blessings to those who participated.
The songs and the stories around the evening campfires
were impressive. Following activities like this, thrilling reports come back to us telling how various young people
decide to live for God because of impressions gained on
these projects. This is as it should be for they are all
soul-saving activities.

Seventh-day Adventist
Youth Serve Their Country
Seventh-day Adventist servicemen are doing a great work
for their Master and for their church. Many thrilling stories of steadfastness in the faith and devotion to God on
the part of these brave young men, come back to us day
by day. The church appreciates these fine, devoted young
men and has developed a program to assist them through
these trying times in every way possible.
At the present time, the National Service Organization is
in contact with approximately 2,500 Seventh-day Adventist boys in the service sending them church periodicals,
literature and other helpful items. There are between 500
and 600 Adventist soldiers in Vietnam and about 500 in
Europe. The number of Adventist boys receiving basic
training at Fort Sam Houston averages around 500. There
are 12 Seventh-day Adventist military chaplains stationed
in the various parts of the world and nine full-time, Adventist civilian chaplains, who devote their time to helping
and encouraging these boys while they are serving their
country. In addition to this, every conference has a servicemen's secretary that stands ready to assist with problems that might arise.
The Medical Cadet Training program has been an invaluable aid to these young men. Pictured at the right are 14
Southwestern Union boys who attended Camp Desmond
T. Doss, June 6-18, 1967. This year Cpl. Desmond T. Doss,
holder of the Congressional Medal of Honor, attended the
camp named in his honor and was able to give the boys
sound advice based on his experience. Many of our boys
will soon be inducted into the military service where they
will be a witness for their faith and render loyal service to
their country. Let us pray for these boys and stand by
their side every way we possible can.
Adventist Medic Loses Life in Vietnam
When Allen Gilmore packed his gear and
went off to war some people might have thought
he was forgetting something; he didn't have a
rifle. But the young Oklahoma man had no intentions of shooting anyone.
February 21, at 4:30 p.m., a Viet Cong mortar
shell exploded in a U.S. Army base camp northwest of Pleiku, South Vietnam.
A medical corpsman, kneeling over a wounded comrade, was hit in the back by flying shrapnel. He was killed instantly.
The medic was Sp-4, William Allen Gilmore,
age 22, a Seventh-day Adventist medic of Norman, Oklahoma.
Young Gilmore had written a letter home just
a few days before his life was ripped away,
which said in part, "Last night we were mortared here. We had one person injured in the
October 14, 1967, Volume 66, No. 19
whole battalion. I was lucky. I happened to be
up when it happened so I went to a bunker and
stayed for a few minutes. I am looking forward
to when we can enjoy life, but as each day
goes by it looks as if it will never end."
The Adventist medic had been faithful in his
Sabbath observance and in his Christian witness
before his fellowman. His intentions, upon completion of his military service, was to go to
college and become a Seventh-day Adventist
minister.
The Southwestern Union Conference salutes
William Allen Gilmore for his acts of heroism,
for his consistent Christian life and for the supreme price paid in service to his country and
his fellowman. We commend his courage and
his unselfish service to all of the youth of the
Southwestern Union.

Double Dividends

The Ketchum church press secretary, Mrs. Obed W. Patty, receives a
double dividend as she faithfully carries out her PR work from week to
week. One of the three newspapers
which she writes for pays her 5e for
every inch of news she sends in. This
"news money" is turned in by Mrs.
Patty for Sabbath school Investment.
And so the Investment fund profits,
as well as the activities of the Seventh-day Adventist church being constantly kept before the readers in the
area around Ketchum and Pryor.
Mrs. Patty's relationship with the
newspapers is excellent and she is
successful in getting pictures printed
regularly.

Houston "Dial Your Family Bible"
Program Exceeds Expectations
More than 500 Bible lessons have
been mailed to enthusiastic students
in connection with the "Dial Your
Family Bible" program of Houston.
Several weeks ago the pastors of
Houston installed a computer in their
office. A different sermon is recorded
on the computer each day so that
when people call 24 hours a day they
receive strength from the Word of
God and inspiration through conversation. By means of these short sermons we are carrying the listener
through the complete evangelistic series. At the end of each message the
listener is given an opportunity to
leave his name and mailing address
so that we may send him a set of free
Bible guides.
We feel that this program is one
that is sent from God, because through
it we are already reaching a class of
12
people whom we could never get to
through tent meetings and church
evangelism, or even through a personal door-to-door program.
The directors were surprised to
learn how much this program did for
the members of their churches. Many
church members call each day and
use this message as their daily devotional thought. Former church
members are urged to call each day
and they are strengthened. Elder C.
M. Bailey reports that one such individual attributed her renewed
strength and return to Christ to this
daily telephone ministry.
The directors of "Dial Your Family
Bible," Elder C. M. Bailey, Pastors
Joseph Harris, and Norman Snipes,

Jeffrey Scott, one to the Texas Conference.
Brother Knight received his B.D.
degree in theology and Christian philosophy from Andrews University in
August of this year, and is now serving as assistant pastor of the Fort
Worth First church. During his college theological years at Pacific Union
College, Brother Knight worked one
summer as a Bible worker and assistant pastor of the San Francisco Central church in California.
We wish God's greatest blessings
upon you and your family, Brother
Knight, as you dedicate your life and
talents to His work.

Texas Layman
Joins Conference
Ministerial Force
The Texas Conference extends a
sincere welcome to Brother and Sister Paul Proctor and their 13-yearold son, David, as they unite with our
brotherhood of pastors and evangelists
by leading God's work in the BryanWaller district.
Pastor and Mrs. Paul Proctor and David.

For several years the Proctor's have
been living in Port Arthur where
both served in public health work.
Brother Proctor was always zealous
in missionary work, and not only gave
strong leadership in the Port Arthur
church, but also assisted other churches in the Beaumont district when no
pastor was present.
Having given proof of his capabilities in pastoral and evangelistic
work, the Texas Conference committee recently voted to ask Brother
Proctor to give his full time to ministerial work. Our support and prayers
will be with the Proctor's as they joyfully dedicate their lives to the winning of souls in the Bryan-Waller
area of our conference.
G. CHARLES DART, President.
Numerous Changes
Made in District
Pastorships
During the summer months several
district changes have been made within the Texas Conference:
Elder Rodney Dale moved from
Richardson to Weslaco and is now
leading the district of nine churches
in the valley. Elder Glen Turner and
Rafael Gonzales are assisting him in
this large area.
Wayne Easley is pastor of the Beeville church and chaplain of the Beeville Memorial Hospital, an institution being operated by Seventh-day
Adventists.
Elder Jon Green is temporarily assisting in the Fort Worth First
church. Because of political unrest in
the Middle East, Jon and his family
have been delayed in leaving for their
mission assignment in this area.
Neville Harcombe is now the assistant pastor of the Dallas Central
church. During the past year he
served as assistant pastor of the Laredo district where Elder C. E. Fillman is directing the work of God.
Elder Arthur Hempel has recently
moved to San Antonio where he is
pastor of the Highland Hills and
Yancey churches. During the past two
years Elder Hempel has served as
pastor of the Wichita Falls and Vernon churches.
Elder Jim Hoehn is now pastor of
the Arlington-Denton churches, having served for two years as pastor of
the Rusk district which included the
Elkhart, Lufkin, and Nacogdoches
churches.
Elder Keith Morey is the new pastor for the Menard church and also is
serving as chaplain for the Menard
Hospital and Retirement Home, an
institution operated by our church.
Elder Morey had previously served
in the same capacities in Beeville.
Elder R. R. Osborne has recently
moved from the San Antonio Highland Hills district to Athens where he
is serving as assistant MV camp director in addition to his responsibilities as pastor of the Athens and Palestine churches.
R. E. Sellman has been appointed
associate colporteur director for the
San Antonio and Southwest Texas
area. He will fill the post left vacant
by Brother George Harsha who recently accepted a call to the ArkansasLouisiana Conference.
Don Siebenlist is now pastor of the
Pasadena - Baytown district where
Elder Richard White had served for
two years. Brother Siebenlist had
been associate pastor of the Houston
Central church during the past year.
Elder C. D. Wellman has accepted
the position as administrator of the
Sunny Acres Manor Rest Home in
Rusk. Elder Wellman will be greatly
missed in the conference office where
he has given valuable assistance in
the treasury department.
Charles Williams is now pastor of
the El Campo-Victoria district. During the past year Brother Williams
has been assistant pastor of the Dallas
Central church and Mrs. Williams
worked as a secretary in the Texas
Conference office.
Texas Pastors
Answer the Call to
New Responsibilities
Workers are often called to serve
in other conferences, and, even though
we may be saddened by the departure
of some of our pastors whom we have
learned to love, yet we realize that
there are great needs in other places.
Elder John Hayward was greatly
loved by all with whom he worked at
the Dallas Central church, and his
presence on the conference committee
and in many activities throughout the
conference will be missed. He has accepted the call of the Michigan conference to pastor the large Battle
Creek Tabernacle church, and with
his family, has moved to this historical center for our church.
Elder Leon Strickland had been a
part of the Texas worker family for
many years having served in educational and pastoral responsibilities.
His artistic contributions will be

missed now that he has moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he is pastor of
the Northside church. Elder Strickland was known for his love and interest in our young people, also.
Elder Richard White accepted a
call from the Central California conference to pastor the Paso Robles
church and moved to his new place of
service in August. He had served as
pastor of the Pasadena-Baytown district and had been a dedicated evangelist and soul winner.
Elder James Meade accepted the
call of the New Jersey Conference to
be the superintendent of an intermediate school in that conference. Elder Meade had served as pastor of the
Pecan Park church during the past
year.
Elder David Watts requested temporary leave of absence from his pas-

1 IS MY PARTNER
Our experience for this issue of the
RECORD comes from Little Rock, Arkansas. Sister Fletcher writes, "There
is no doubt in my mind but that God
has blessed us because we have tried
to be faithful in returning to God our
tithes and offerings. We haven't been
blessed with extra material things or
a lot of money, but in another very
special way." Their little boy, who
was born with a birth defect that left
him crippled, had been in and out of
the hospital four times in the last
nine months for surgery and other
correction measures that were costing a great deal. Sister Fletcher
writes, "Just this morning in the
mail, we received the doctor's statement. As usual I knew how big this
operation fee was and wasn't too anxious to open the statement, but did so
anyway. To my surprise the statement had on it '50% discount.' To me
this was a blessing to us from God
for our faithfulness to Him."
Surely God does watch over His
own. Please give us your experience
of how God has blessed you definitely.
This will be an encouragement to

Brother George Harsha was called
by the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference to work as pastor-evangelist. He
will be pastor of the West Memphis
church in this conference. Brother
Harsha had been very successful in
his work as associate publishing secretary serving the San Antonio district.
Carol Chanslor returned to Andrews University after serving as associate pastor of the Fort Worth First

New Staff Members
Join Jefferson
Academy Family
F. W. Eccles, principal of Jefferson
Academy, announces the following
new staff members for the 1967-1968
school year:
Mrs. Dorothy McRight joined our
faculty as dean of girls and typing
I instructor. She came to Jefferson
from Collegedale, Tennessee. Jefferson Academy is not new to Mrs. McRight since her son, Mike, attended
here during the 1963-1964 school
term. Tommy is a freshman this year.
Robert Hamilton, a 1967 graduate
of Southwestern Union College in industrial education, arrived on campus
June 12 and has been busy supervising the maintenance department. Mrs.
Hamilton is the laundry supervisor.
A number of Jefferson Academy
staff members were students this summer attending school in several different places.
Wayne McDaniel, science and mathematics teacher, was the recipient of
a National Science Foundation Grant
in Physics. He and his family spent
eight weeks in Burlington, Vermont,
where he attended the University of
Vermont. Before coming back to Jefferson, they visited Expo '67 in Montreal, Canada.
Mr. and Mrs. Roger McFarland attended Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, where both started to
work toward their master's degrees.
Mr. McFarland is the dean of boys
and instructor in industrial arts. Mrs.
The summer months have passed quickly
and school is again in progress. It was a
busy summer for those who remained on
the campus of Jefferson Academy. At the
last meeting of the year, the academy
board was convinced that a face lifting
program was needed for the administration building (above) of the academy. It
was decided also that the chapel should
be divided and used as office space for
the school offices.
During the summer, some of the academy staff members have been doing this
remodeling work. Elder Floyd Eccles,
principal, (pictured below) directed the
building project; Now as you walk into
the newly painted administration building, you notice a real change—indooroutdoor carpeting on the floors, wood
paneling on the walls, and all new doors
and windows.
The library has been enlarged and
teachers offices also have been added.
Classrooms with newly painted walls and
tile floors were ready for school to open.
We believe the changes made in our
administration building will make it more
useful to both teachers and students as
well as to beautify our campus.

Amarillo Adventist Doctor Receives
Air Force Commendation
On Wednesday, August 9, 1967, upon completing his two years of Air
Force service at Amarillo Air Force
Base Hospital, Amarillo, Texas, Dr.
Ronald E. Turk, local church elder,
and captain, USAF, was presented
with the Air Force
Commendation Medal by the hospital
commander, Lieut.
Colonel Charles S.
Lueth. Dr. Turk
Dr. R. E. Turk
was recommended
for this award by the former hospital
commander, Col. Elmer F. Gillespie.
The citation states that Dr. Turk's
"outstanding professional abilities ...
added immeasurably in" identifying
and correcting problem areas in the
Air Force Clinics at Amarillo Air
Force Base.
As chief of Air Force Clinics, Dr.
Turk supervised all out-patient services to all military personnel, permanent party and their dependents, and
all trainees, and practiced medicine.
He was advisor to the director of base
medical services, who is the hospital
commander.
Lt. Graham, the hospital registrar,
said "He was the best chief we ever
had. He was a team member. He
sought advice when needed and gave
advice when needed." He also complimented Dr. Turk's unceasing industriousness.
In addition to his medical duties, he
personally picked up and carried to
church Seventh-day Adventist men
who desired to go and arranged for
transportation of others. He helped a
number of our men with Sabbath
problems and other situations. He
studied with them if they wanted Bible studies.
We congratulate Dr. Turk on his
accomplishments as a servant of God
and man on his staunch faithfulness
16
to his religious beliefs as a Seventhday Adventist.
We pray for his continued success
as he goes to complete his residency
in Birmingham, and in whatever endeavor God leads him in the future.

"Hi There"
Twilight is draped over the mountains above El Paso. Pastor Nathan
Sims glances down the street to
where Wayne Smith, member of the
El Paso Central church, is also making his first missionary contact for
the evening. Pastor Sims rings the
bell of a typical southwestern home.
"Hi." He speaks pleasantly to the
man who opens the door. "I'm Nathan
Sims. We left a little book with you
yesterday, and just wondered how
you enjoyed it."
"I believe my wife was reading
that," the man answers. "I'll see if
she wants to keep it." He comes back
to the door nodding. "Yes, I think she
does. It's really a very fine book. How
much is it—two dollars?"
"Yes." Pastor Sims pulls a card
from his pocket. "Say, did you notice
this card in the back of your book offering a free Bible and Bible study
course?
"Yes, we had wondered about this."
"Wait just a minute. I have the
Bible and lessons out in the car. Let
me step out there and get them and
I'll show you what it's all about."
In a few moments Pastor Sims
walks on to the street corner, to be
joined by several of the 32 El Paso
laymen who are working on this project. He remembers that the "Your
Bible and You" plan actually began
in the motels of the city, through the
inspiration of David Dougherty of
Tucumcari, New Mexico. In fact, that
attractive, truth-filled volume by Arthur Maxwell was still selling about
80 to 100 books per month from the
motels, with profits going into the El
Paso Central church building fund.
But in November, 1966, Pastor Sims,
burdened with the desire to reach the
homes of El Paso before the evangelistic meetings scheduled in the fall
of 1967, decided to try something new.
If these books sold in motels, they
ought to be acceptable in homes.
After experimenting with several
plans, the most desirable was decided
upon. Stapled in the front of each
book was a card and addressed envelope. "Hi there," said the card.
"This book has been made available
for your reading enjoyment. If you
like the book and wish to keep it,
please enclose $2 in this envelope and
mail, or give it to the representative
who will be by in a few days. Thank
you."
In the back of each book was placed
an enrollment card, offering a free
Bible and Bible course.
Pastor Sims remembered that so
far about 14% of the people contacted purchased books, and he realized that on that basis the church
could expect to sell about 10,000 books
in the area! What a tremendous spiritual impact that could be. But, best
of all, many of the people who bought
books began Bible studies. Pastor
Sims had found that 30% of his own
contacts had enrolled.
One Bible course student has contributed $100 toward the Central
church building fund — a project
which should be completed on a choice
bit of property off Interstate 10, by
January, 1968.
Pastor Sims soon rings another
doorbell.
"Hi there ..."
At least the Lord was giving every
home in the city a chance to learn
His truth. Was it their last chance?
Pastor Sims didn't know....

SOUTHWESTERN UNION RECORD
Review and Herald
NOW
or
EVER?
by B. E. LEACH, President,
Southwestern Union Conference.
One of our union departmental leaders made
a most interesting report to me recently. This report brought courage to my heart because it indicates the loyal support and active interest many
Seventh-day Adventist laymen have in the work
of thc. church.
While visiting in the home of a layman and
church leader, the departmental secretary observed a large stack of REVIEW AND HERALDS
in a conspicuous place near the family's favorite
chair. It was obvious that they had been used a
great deal.
Without trying to appear inquisitive he reached
for the top issue and began to leaf through its
pages. The householder immediately noticed his
actions and exclaimed in an enthusiastic voice,
"Oh, so you like to read the REVIEW AND HERALD,
too. We count it our top magazine around here
and the whole family reads it. Even the children
spend a lot of time looking over the news stories
and articles."
He continued his appraisal by saying, "Personally, I couldn't do without the REVIEW because it keeps me feeling like I am a part of a
going church program. Sometimes we get a little
discouraged with the results of our efforts around
here but the REVIEW always cheers me up. Especially when I read how the Lord is working in so
many areas of the earth by the Holy Spirit. The
good articles that explain the scriptures are a
prize possession here in our home. That's why
we keep every copy here in a stack so we can
refer back to them from time to time."
Brothers and Sisters, these are days in which
we must keep our spiritual forces at peak efficiency. Crime and violence are increasing at an
alarming rate in fact, it seems that civilization is
on the verge of blowing up. The 20th century
Christian must be clad in the whole armor of
God to be able to stand in the evil day.
One of the vital links in the fortification against
the onslaughts of destructive spiritual forces is
uplifting, spiritual reading matter in the home.
High on the list of this reading matter should
be the REVIEW AND HERALD. This weekly visitor
keeps us in touch with the world church of Seventh-day Adventists. It brings us weekly spiritual
messages from the church's ablest ministers. It
gives us the encouragement and guidance we
need in these distressing times.
Now, while the special reduced campaign subscription price is in effect, we should make certain
that our subscription is renewed. We should encourage others to subscribe. This is one investment we will never regret.
