April 13 Offering Scheduled For Loma Linda University LOMA LINDA, CALIF.—Loma Linda University is completing its 80th year of service to the Adventist Church, and its mission today is the same as it was in 1905—to provide workers for God throughout the world. Currently graduates from Loma Linda University are serving in more than 100 countries around the world—from the highlands of northern Thailand to the deserts of Saudi Arabia. Each year students from Loma Linda serve hundreds of lowincome individuals through medical clinics located in urban areas surrounding' Loma Linda University. Six hundred miles to the east, Loma Linda University School of Dentistry operates a sixchair dental facility at Monument Valley Mission Hospital that serves the 10,000 Navajo Indians living in the area. Approximately 2,500 students enroll annually on the two campuses of Loma Linda University. Each spring Loma Linda University graduates more than 140 physicians, 95 dentists, 90 nurses, and several hundred allied health and public health workers. Many of these new graduates choose to serve their Lord by working in mission facilities around the world. More choose to serve the church by working in needy locations in North America. Funds received through your gifts on April 13 are designed for Loma Linda University's worthy students. Your continued support of Loma Linda University through your prayers and financial gifts is needed.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Youth Department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is encouraging Adventist youths around the world to participate in the 1985 United Nations International Youth Year (I.Y.Y.). Leo Ranzolin, international youth leader of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, said the church encourages "each level of the church's constituency to establish an International Youth Year Committee to plan and activate at least one program to celebrate the International Youth Year." Elder Ranzolin warned, however, that the church should avoid political entanglements. "Inevitably some political overtones will influence actions taken by an international body such as the United Nations, and the I.Y.Y. is no exception," he said. "Church constituencies should avoid political engagement of any kind. Rather, they should emphasize the positive aspects that the year of youth affords." Elder Ranzolin said the church encourages a variety of programs centered on the I.Y.Y. theme, "Participation, Development, Peace." In the area of participation, Elder Ranzolin said the Adventist Church encourages its youth to "join in at least one community project or ask authorities for a special project for the church youth group that will help and bless the community as an ongoing benefit." He also urged Adventist youths to participate in home and church activities. Elder Ranzolin said the church urges young people to develop their physical, mental, spiritual and social powers. He suggested Adventist youths should engage in regular programs to physically condition themselves, to stretch their minds and to engage in Bible studies and various kinds of community outreach programs. No One But You Illinois Conference Lake Region Conference HERALD • APRIL 9, 1985 People Just Like Me It was mid-1984 when I was first asked to write a NO ONE BUT YOU slide-tape script for the Lake Union Herald. At that time I looked upon the assignment as a good opportunity for exposure as a new writer. But God had other things in mind. As I began interviewing the people who were to be featured in the programs, I discovered that they were people with day-to-day problems just like me; people with job problems, children problems and car problems. They are regular people, but people who have learned to give little bits of themselves to others. I '011 learned that these people have discovered the Secret to hapfliness, and they want to share Him with everyone they meet. I also discovered that finding NO ONE BUT YOU stories is not at all like looking for the great blue whale. Many suggestions come to the Lake Union for interesting stories about special people and their witnessing activities. But more than that, all Christians have some NO ONE BUT YOU potential in their lives. Of course, we all take one step at a time when we walk, we all need oxygen to live, and we all have bad days. But each of us, amid all the ordinaries, has a Godgiven gift to share with at least one person each day. izr no 17 » Illinois Conference News Note Estates Willed to North Shore Church Robbi Pierson Perhaps it is a lift to the grocery store, a pat on the back, a loaf of bread, tears shared, or simply a smile as we pass on the stairs. I don't know what your gift is, but I can promise you, it's there. Why not reach inside and bring it to the surface; after all, someone out there needs what no one but you can give. Robbi Pierson NO ONE BUT YOU Script Writer Editor's Note: Robbi Pierson, a media technology senior at Andrews University, was commissioned to write "God's Runners," the fourth quarter 1984 NO ONE BUT YOU program. Robbi also served as photographer for "God's Runners." The Herald editors were so pleased with her work that she was asked to write and assist with photography on subsequent programs. Two Baptized at Elgin Church ILLINOIS—Clyde Best, trust services director for the Illinois Conference, recently informed the congregation at North Shore Church in Chicago that several former members willed portions of their estates to be used by the church. Former member Gerald Schenong willed his entire estate to the Illinois Conference indicating that a portion was to be disbursed to his beloved North Shore Church. Likewise, Barbara Jacobs willed a portion of her estate to the North Shore Church. A portion of her monetary gift was used to purchase new choir robes for the youth choir. A bus was also purchased for the purpose of transporting young people to various functions and events. As Elder Best concluded his remarks, he presented Pastor Stanley Cottrell with a check. Illinois Conference Reports on Meeting ILLINOIS—Annually in February a review and audit is conducted of the Illinois Conference financial records, workers and teachers salaries/expenses, and church growth statistics. The review this year was held on Thursday, February 16, in the Illinois Conference board room. In addition to the Conference Executive Committee, the Lake Union Conference officers, departmental personnel, and laity were invited to attend. Here are some of the highlights of reports given at the review: 'Tithe frpm churches organized in the past four years is $389,706. 'More than $6 million tithe is reported in the Illinois Conference—for the first time. 'Offerings are up: evangelism is up by $4,000; mission offerings are up by $4,000, and disaster and famine offerings are up by $5,300. *The conference is in a strong financial position with a 5.92 percent increase in operating funds. In the area of church growth, the report was equally inspiring as indicated below: 'The Illinois Conference was first in the North American Division to reach the objective set for the 1,000 Days of Reaping-2,235 ILLINOIS—From left, Pastor Trevor W.

Lake Region Conference News Notes • The youth Week of Prayer was held on Sabbath, March 9, at the Ephesus Church in Marion, Indiana. Speaker for the first meeting was Frank Alford, personal ministries director and Pathfinder leader of the Philadelphia Church in Niles, Michigan. Brother Alford titled his sermon "Children Hold on to Your Dream." He emphasized the fact that the youths' dreams should hang on to three hinges: faith, hope, and love. Special music for this Sabbath was .provided by Hermia Hatchett, wife of the pastor. • During February the Advent- ist Youth Society of the Shiloh Church in Chicago participated in the celebration of Black History Month. Members of the society debated the contributions made to theiblack race by W. E. B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington. Members of the debate team who supported the contributions made by Booker T. Washington were Elvert Williams, Michael Duncan, Helen Amos, and Werner Lightner, the team coach. Team members supporting the philosophies of W. E. B. DuBois were Charles Joseph Jr., Gizzelle Vernon, Steven Palmer, and Vivian Joseph, team coach. • On Thursday, January 17, Russ Potter from Concerned Communications held a training workshop for pastors, instructing them on how to use the Concerned Communications' eightday Stress Management Workshop. The training program was held in cooperation with the North American Division Evangelism Institute and the Illinois Conference. The need for this program resulted frctrn the response received from the Faith For Today program "So Near, So Far" which was aired in Chicago. More than 8,000 people responded with interest in attending a stress workshop, according to Barry Ulloth, Illinois Conference health/temperance director.

Why is the Illinois Conference growing? From chart number one you can see that it is definitely not because people are transferring by letter into the Illinois Conference. More are transferring out, and have been, every year since 1978, with the exception of 1981. Growth in the Illinois Conference is coming about because of an aggressive soul-winning program. The margin between those baptized and those lost to apostasy is increasing, as evidenced by chart number two. As this margin grows wider, to the point where few are lost, cost-effective use of evangelism funds will result and maximum church growth will he realized. Certainly embracing the membership stabilization program and the North American Division Caring Church program has helped make this margin grow wider and will continue to do so. As we continue to unite our efforts in prayer and dedicated cooperation with the Lord, the Illinois Conference will be blessed with an even greater 1986. Robert L.

According to Elder Venden, the title for the series came from Henri J. M. Nouwen's book The Wounded Healer. The book's title was taken from a Talmudic legend about the Messiah portrayed among the sick at the city' gate. Elder Venden said: "Ministers aren't supermen. They are wounded people called to be healers and to be healed by the same message they share. A definition of preaching I really like is, 'one beggar telling another where he found bread.'

What in the world would three big name schools want from a quiet, Christian university in Berrien Springs, Michigan? Well, for one thing, its students. In fact, there was a recent senior here at Andrews majoring in physics who did such an outstanding job that, aside from Andrews, other schools have been taking notice. Others like Yale, Harvard and M.I.T. They all wanted him to pursue his graduate studies at their schools. And a recent Andrews chemistry graduate received a major fellowship grant right out of college to begin work on a Ph.D. degree at Cal Tech. In addition, Andrews students regularly get accepted into major law schOols like Georgetown University, Boston University and the University of Texas. And you've probably already heard about Andrews' impressive record of preparing students for medical school. The success rate among med school applicants from Andrews stands at 72 percent. The national average is 48 percent. We're proud that our students are sought by other major universities around the country. Proud—but not surprised. After all, Andrews University has long been providing students in all majors with some of the finest programs any Christian university has to offer. That's because we value academic achievement. And we encourage it through our honors program. It's called the Society of Andrews Scholars, and recognizes and encourages the highest scholastic standards among our students. More than 400 students from a wide range of disciplines are members of this select society. Now we can't promise that a host of other major universities will come knocking at your door when you graduate from Andrews. But we can guarantee a few other things. Like a solid degree, backed by an outstanding education. A scholarly Christian community where your journeys toward faith and learning are both made on the same road.

Wong, associate professor of chemistry at Andrews University, has been chosen to participate in the Argonne National Laboratory's summer faculty research program. Argonne National Laboratory in Argonne, Illinois, is one of the United States Department of Energy facilities that conducts energy-related research. The Argonne summer faculty research program is designed to help college chemistry teachers stay in touch with the practical side of their profession. In part icular , the program is for professors at smaller schools who do not have as many opportunities to engage in research, said Robert A Wilkins, chairman of the Andrews chemistry department. Applicants to the Argonne faculty summer research program must be full-time faculty members of an accredited United States college or university and must submit clearly specified research objectives that have been endorsed by the applicant's department head or dean. Dr. Wong has been invited to participate in research on Raman gain spectroscopy of molecules absorbed on metal surfaces. He explained this type of research can provide a better understanding of adhesion of different materials to metal surfaces and can help determine new processes that correct the problem. When asked why the Department of Energy would be interested in such research, Dr. Wong explained that the research was important for determining material properties for metals used in nuclear power plants and other similar applications. Dr. Wong joined the Andrews faculty in 1969. He holds a doctor of philosophy degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, and has served as a post-doctoral research associate at Purdue University.

Contract Signed 'to Sell Properties Of Church's Takoma Park Headquarters WASHINGTON, D.C.—Representatives of the General Conference, the Review and Herald Publishing Association and Home Study International (H.S.I.) on March 1 signed a $14 million contract to sell the church's headquarters complex in Takoma Park, Maryland. The buyer is Roberts, Munz and Associates, an investment partnership owned by the principals of The Development Group of Laurel, Maryland. "In short, the contract includes a three-phase schedule of property transfers and payments with church entities receiving $10 million of the purchase price by July 1, 1986, the estimated date of ground breaking of the new General Conference complex on a 30-acre site in suburban Maryland," reported General Conference Treasurer Lance L. Butler. "Key dates in the contract are July 15, 1985, when an inspection period ends and during which the buyer or seller can terminate the contract," Elder Butler explained. "Then comes the Phase I closing of November 1, 1985, when the Review and Herald building is transferred in exchange for $4 million. • On July 1, 1986, Phase II will see the General Conference north building and the H.S.I. property transferred in exchange for $6 million. Finally, in the Phase III transfer on March 1, 1988, the General Conference central and south buildings and the Review and Herald parking lot will be signed over in exchange for the final $4 million. "The contract is the result of negotiations over nearly nine months," Elder Butler added. "Since we will transfer much of the property before we actually move into the new complex, the contract contains lease-back provisions at very favorable rates so the General Conference can operate at its current location while using the interest to pay lease-back fees and the sales proceeds to begin development of the new location." The General Conference Corporation Board and the General Conference Committee approved the sale of the facilities in special meetings on February 26. In response to questions at the General Conference Committee, Elder Butler said the new 250,000-square-foot General Conference office complex will cost an estimated $17 million, of which about $2 million will cover consultation fees, site development and landscaping. Elder Butler said the new office building will save approximately • $1 million yearly in operating expenses and will permit the staff to operate more efficiently and safely within one structure instead of five. General Conference President Neal C. Wilson said the new building will give the church excellent exposure to the public on a major thoroughfare and will protect the church's investment with an esthetically attractive but economical office building situated in a prime location. Elder Wilson said the move represents the end of an era. The church's world headquarters has been in Takoma Park since 1903, when it was moved from Battle Creek, Michigan.

Copsey, Director Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Lake Union Conference OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE LAKE UNION CONFERENCE OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS Box C. Berrien Springs. MI 49103 (616) 473-4541 A wise man said, "Let me write the songs of a people, and I care not who makes their laws." Laws are important to any ordered society. It is vitally necessary that citizens be informed as to what their privileges and duties are. But historically no lasting lifestyle change has been achieved through legislation. We need only recall the prohibition days of America to realize that any effort to legislate moral and ethical conduct is less than successful. Jesus said, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, . . . " (Matthew 28:19), and the church has been involved in gospel presentations ever since. As we review the history of its efforts, we come to realize that regardless of the urgency, no law ever enacted sustained the proclamation of the Gospel. What then sustains the ongoing miracle of human involvement in gospel presentation? Our wise man felt that he could control the practices of a people,through song. Perhaps he is right, for to a degree that song is a statement of experience and an instrument of inspiration. Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). No greater force than love can sustain the practices of life, Love will keep a father at arduous labor to provide for his family. Love will motivate a mother to continue her household duties when she herself is in need of care because of illness. A lad was seen carrying a little crippled girl everywhere he went. When asked if she was heavy he said, "No! She's my sister." Attempts to legislate acts of dedicated service have never been successful, and never will be. The Bible says, "Give, and it shall be given unto you" (Luke 6:38). Christians have learned through the ages that the more they give the more they have to give. Mike was a typical long-haired hippie of his day, but someone gave the Gospel to him and he fell in love with the Master. His attitude and life-style changed as the love of Christ constrained him to be like his Master. For 18 years now Mike has told all who will listen of what the Master has done for him. His habit of gospel proclamation is sustained not by duty, but by love—by the blessings received in the doing. Repeatedly I am confronted with the apparent reluctance of some to witness for the Master. It is at times tempting to try and legislate the act of witness, but we must never fall into such a trap. No amount of frustration should ever cause us to attempt to resolve the issues of an inactive, complacent membership through legislation. The Bible says, "0 taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8). We must inspire each other to try soul-winning. In today's cliche, "Don't knock it till you've tried it." If you haven't become involved in the soul-winning activities of His church, my appeal is to "taste and see that the Lord is good." April 9, 1985 Ca Vol. LXXVII, No. 8 CHARLES C.
