LITERATURE EVANGELISM
March 3, 1965
"And the man asked him, saying:
`What seekest thou?' And he said:
`I seek my brethren.' " Genesis 37:
15-16.
"No one could tell me where 'my soul
might be;
I searched for God, and He eluded
me;
I sought my brother out, and found
all three."
—Ernest Crosby.
Jesus admonished the early disciples
to "Go rather to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel . . . as ye go, preach,
saying the kingdom of heaven is at
hand." Matthew 10:5, 6.
Paul said that salvation through
the gospel of Christ was to go "to
the Jew first . . . " Romans 1:16.
In our day, when the message of
the Third Angel is drawing to a close,
a greater work is to be done for the
Jews than we have ever done before.
For "When this gospel shall be presented in the fullness to the Jews,
many will accept Christ as the Messiah." Acts of the Apostles, p. 381.
Do you know that it was a Jew
who introduced two of his own Jewish
disciples to Jesus as the Lamb of God?
It was John the Baptist, of whom
John the Evangelist wrote: " . . .
Wesley Amundsen
He Is Your Brother: Help Him
WESLEY AMUNDSEN, Secretary,
North American Missions Committee.
the next day . . . John stood, and
two of his disciples; and looking upon
Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! And the two
disciples . . . followed Jesus." John
1:35-37.
Do you know that it was a secret
Jewish disciple who came to Jesus by
night for an interview? Yes, it was
Nicodemus, John 3.
Do you know that it was another
secret Jewish disciple who offered
his own tomb in which Jesus might
be buried after his Crucifixion?
Yes, is was Joseph of Arimathea.
Do you know that most of the members of the early apostolic church
were Jews who had accepted Jesus as
the Messiah, and all the church leaders were Judean-Christians.
Do you know that there are approximately 12,000,000 Jews in the
world?
Do you know that about 6,000,000
of these people live in North America,
scattered in over more than 9,000
cities and towns?
Do you know that almost all of
them are still in darkness, with no
knowledge of their longed-for Messiah, and without hope?
Do you know that Seventh-day Adventists have a great responsibility
to these people of the Book?
Do you know that Seventh-day Adventists operate a Bible correspondence school operating under the name
The Israelite Heritage Institute and
that 23,000 persons enrolled in this
course during the year 1964?
Do you know that a quarterly magazine called Israelite is published by
the Pacific Press Publishing Association especially for Jewish readers?
Elder R. L. Odom is the editor. The
present subscription list is about
5,000, which includes some overseas
subscribers, really not very many
among the millions of ethnic Jews in
America.
WHAT SHALL WE DO?
Plan now to help place the Israelite
magazine in the hands of as many persons of Jewish origin in North America as possible.
THIS IS HOW TO DO IT!
Sabbath, March 20, 1965, has been
designated as Israelite promotion day,
and a brief program has been prepared for presentation at the church
missionary period. (See March GO
magazine for the material for this
program). Make a list of the names
of persons of Jewish origin in your
community, especially leading people,
to whom you would like to have this
magazine sent for a year or more. The
subscription price is $1.00 per year.
Subscriptions are to be placed in the
hands of the church missionary secretary, or sent to your book and Bible
house. Should you desire to help send
the Israelite to Jews in North America but have no names to submit, you
may place your money for the subscriptions in a tithe envelope and
mark it "FOR ISRAELITE;" we
shall provide the names from our
lists. We urge you to help us double
the subscription list of Israelite this
year so that we may send it to at
least 10,000 Jewish people. Do it for
God and for His "lost sheep of the
house of Israel." Christ died for the
Jews as well as for the Gentiles.
"We must get away from our smallness and make larger plans. There
must be a wider reaching forth to
work for those who are nigh and
those who are afar off. . . . Let there
be special efforts for the enlightenment of the Jews." — Ellen G. White
Manuscript 87, 1907. (Italics supplied).

"Listen" Magazine
"Temperance is the good right arm
of our message." What is the meaning of this challenging statement
from the pen of inspiration?
It indicates that positive self-control is the only true strength in the
life of the Christian, the family, and
the church. But such a "character is
not the result of accident; it is not
due to special favors or endowments
of Providence. A noble character is
the result of self-discipline, of the
subjection of the lower to the higher
nature. . . ."
How does one develop self-control, this noble character? "Something
better is the watchword of education,
the law of all true living. Whatever
Christ asks us to renounce, He offers
in its stead something better. . . ."
Listen has taken a bold step forward in presenting "something better"
thirty times each year. Listen News
Service (twice monthly) is to be introduced in Seventh - day Adventist
churches across the nation on February 27. It is hard-hitting, yet positive
and constructive in its emphasis. It
is designed to bring special help to
every Adventist home. It is also designed to attract loved ones and
friends to experimental "better living."
The cost of this thrilling new coverage of "better living" is $2.50 a year.
This includes 6 issues of Listen magazine and 24 issues of Listen News
Service.
Read your complimentary copy of
the News Service and join Listen in
its positive exercise to strengthen
"the good right arm of our message."

Columbia Union
Answers Project
Thousands of church members in
the 446 churches in the Columbia
Union distributed one million Faith
for Today leaflets on Sabbath, October 17, 1964, inviting folk contacted to enroll in the Bible correspondence course.
The Bible course enrollment leaflet
highlights some of the key problems
of today, including crime and juvenile delinquency plus the troubled
international situation. Then it points
to the Bible as containing the solution
to every human problem, inviting the
reader to enroll in the Faith for Today Bible Correspondence course.
Neal Wilson
C. C. Weis
The union-wide projects included
some of the largest cities in the
metropolitan areas of the United
States. Each leaflet included a brief
local log, listing TV stations on which
Faith for Today could be viewed.
Organizing the project was Elder
C. C. Weis, Home Missionary Secretary of the Columbia Union. The project originated in the Chesapeake
Conference where Elders Cyril Miller
and Bill May are planning for more
aggressive evangelism. From there it
was picked up by the union leadership
and enlarged to include hundreds of
churches and thousands of church
members throughout the Columbia
Union territory, which includes the
states of Delaware, Maryland, New
Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
West Virginia, and the District of
Columbia.
Church members have reacted enthusiasically to the project. One commented : "I wish we could have more
of this home-to-home visitation. It
brings a blessings to me, and I am
confident it helps those who are contacted." Still another stated that he
had come across some excellent interests just by visiting from door to door.
The idea for a giant literature
distribution project has been taken
up by other unions also. The Atlantic
Union is presently planning on a
mass distribution day when 500,000
Faith for Today Bible Course enrollment leaflets will be given out in its
territory.
Surely this is a day of remarkable
opportunity when the promise is good
that God's word will not come back
to Him void.

"Rich Revelations of Jesus"
Author: Daniel R. Guild
"The mature Christian is at peace
with God, with himself, and with the
world about him. . . . Trouble and
turmoil may surround us, yet we enTHE RECORD
joy a calmness and peace of mind of
which the world knows nothing. This
inward peace is reflected in a cheerful countenance, an unruffled temper,
and a vigorous, glowing experience
that stimulates all with whom we
come in contact." Bible Commentary,
note on Isaiah 26:3.
Is this your experience? Or do you
feel a lack of something vital? "In
a unique way Revelation, the last book
in the Bible, reveals Christ to hungry
human hearts." So says Daniel R.
Guild, author of Rich Revelations of
Jesus, a new volume just released
by Southern Publishing Association —
a volume designed to meet a man's
practical needs in the twentieth century.
Daniel R. Guild, a graduate of our
seminary, is a minister with experience both in the home field and overseas. Presently he serves in the Far
East.
Through His prophets of old God
has instructed us that a blessing
awaits those who hear and keep the
words of the Revelation. Through His
modern-day prophet He has instructed
us that "the last book of the New
Testament is full of truth that we
need to understand."

district.
Open House at Alexandria
Health and Welfare Center
Four years ago this month an Alexandria, Louisiana, businessman, Mr.
Frank 0. Hunter, became so impressed with Seventh-day Adventist Health
and Welfare work that he donated a
downtown building to the Alexandria
church for a Health and Welfare
Center. On Tuesday, February 2, a
very lovely Open House ceremony
marked the fourth anniversary of this
splendid gift.
The donors, Mr. and Mrs. Frank 0.
Hunter, were present along with
many guests from the city. During
the course of the open house, nine
members of the Alexandria-Pineville
ministerial association visited at the
center.
Mayor W. George Bowden of Alexandria, guest speaker for the occasion, spoke of the blessings the Health
and Welfare Center had brought to the
city and encouraged a greater expansion of services on the part of
Seventh-day Adventists.
The center is now equipped to offer
a variety of services to the general
public, one of which will soon be introduced in the form of the "Five-day
Plan" to stop smoking. Other services will be courses in health and
nutrition and medical self-help. Emergency help in the form of clothing and
food has been dispensed from the
center since its opening four years
ago.
The vision and conviction on the
part of Pastor J. L. Neil, of the specific place health and welfare services
must occupy in the program of Seventh-day Adventists, has played a
great part in the existence and prog3
ress of the center.
Elder J. 0. Wilson, associate pastor
of the Alexandria district, acted as
master of ceremonies for the open
house occasion and those present and
participating from the local conference were elders Wright, Nosworthy,
Carubba and Elder.

MV Society Organized
in Arkansas-Louisiana
Sabbath afternoon, January 23, the
MV Society of the newly-organized
Clinton Company had their first meeting. A special feature of the program
on the "Word of God" was the appearance of two youth in costume representing David and Ruth. Emphasis
was on Bible reading for the year of
1965. This first meeting was well attended by both old and young, and
some who had come the greatest distance said it was well worth the trip
to see and hear the youth in action.
The next meeting was an informal
gathering at the home of the MV
leader, June Willoughby. Valentines
with Bible verses inside were made
and were passed around in the
senior citizens' home on Sabbath afternoon, February 13.

Medical Center, Gentry, Arkansas.
High Day In Gentry
On November 16, 1964, the new
medical center in Gentry, Arkansas,
opened its doors. Dr. Donald Weaver,
his wife Jeanette, and their two sons
moved to our community.
Capt, Robert Weaver and his wife
Marlene, with their two children, will
join forces with Donald's family next
summer and then our clinic, built
to house two doctors, will be staffed.
The Gentry community raised the
funds to construct the beautiful new
clinic, with the arrangement in the
contract that our doctors will be able
to take the option and purchase the
building in two years.
The Lord is already blessing Dr.
Weaver with an excellent practice.
We know this program will be a tremendous asset to our work in this

Visitation Day — March 6
We thank God for Home Visitation
Days. They have brought real inspiration to hundreds of families.
Many have enrolled in the Bible Correspondence course as a result. Surely
the Lord had a hand in bringing
about the plan to visit the homes of
the people on a specific day. What
the results will be of these many,
many visits, we shall not be able to
determine until we get into the kingdom. Who can deny that this plan is
but another step toward making it
possible for us to bring souls into the
message?
Our next scheduled Home Visitation
Day will be Sabbath, March 6. We
had planned to use the streamlined
tract on the second coming of Christ,
entitled This May Stop You. We just
received word today from the publishing house that, because of a few
changes that will be made in the tract,
it will not be off the press until another couple of months. Here is a
piece of literature that I wish could
be placed in every home in Oklahoma
in 1965.
This gigantic task could be accomplished by following a very definite,
systematic plan. We should begin our
visitation within close proximity to
our own church; then the next visitation should begin where we left off
on March 6. By following this plan,
we should be able to cover every home
by the close of the year. It is utterly
impossible to cover all the homes at
one time, so it is most important that
our churches be so organized that
there will not be any duplication in
succeeding Home Visitations.
Could not many more of our
churches plan for Home Visitation
once a week, or at least once a month?
This plan would bring new life to
many churches. Make sure that your

New sanctuary at Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
Bartlesville Goes Forward
The accompanying picture will give
an idea of the fine sanctuary that the
Bartlesville congregation has erected
this fall and winter. The padded pews
and ornate interior speak for the
quality of the building, and the love
and affection that the members are
showering on their church home. Not
quite finished as yet, the congregation there is already looking forward
to an early dedication, free of all
debts and encumbrances. Nearby, and
on the grounds, a building which will
be the beginnings of a church school,
is being planned for.
The Bartlesville membership stands
at 78. Having a church school is not
a new thing for them, as they have
had one off and on while located in
their former church site. The new
church is located on the southeast edge
of town, on the highway that runs to
Nowata, ten miles away.
church has a good supply of This May
Stop You. One pastor has already
ordered 7,000 of these tracts; he is
thinking strongly of getting another
25,000. Make sure that your church
has good ammunition to pass out,
not only on March 6, but on succeeding Sabbaths throughout the year.
W. G. LARSON, Director,
Laymen's Activities,
Elder Clarence Southard, district
leader, has worked and planned untiringly to make the present monument to the Seventh-day Adventist
truth possible. Strong evangelistic
work is being planned in the near
future. The hope is to greatly build
up the work in the wonderful and
prosperous city there.

Victoria Revival
The one-week revival in Victoria,
conducted by Pastor L. E. Tucker,
conference revivalist, and Pastor Dick
White, district leader, resulted in
seven decisions to unite with the
church. Two of these — Mrs. Jean
Dierlam and Mrs. Joyce Mayfield —
were baptized at the closing service
on Sabbath, January 23. The others
are preparing for the next baptismal
service.
Pastor White is continuing meetings
in Victoria with a special Bible marking program called, "My Bible Says."
In April he will launch a six-weeks'
Air-a-torium Crusade in Wharton.
A weekly visitation and literature witnessing ministry by the El Campo
church members has been preparing
the way for these meetings in Wharton for many months.

H. W. Christensen
H. W. Christensen
We regret to announce the death
of Elder Herbert W. Christensen on
Sabbath, January 16, 1965, in Denton, Texas.
Elder Christensen was born June
21, 1894, in Mahtowa, Minnesota,
As a young man he colporteured to
earn his way through Maplewood
Academy, where he was graduated
in 1916. Following one year as a
teacher, he entered the ministry in
the Minnesota Conference, where he
was ordained in 1922 by C. S. Longacre. Later he attended Union College. He married Alta Hilliard whose
parents had been pioneer missionaries
in the South Pacific Islands. Elder
Christensen became the Home Missionary Secretary of the Minnesota
Conference; then he accepted an invitation to do pastoral-evangelistic work
in Iowa. In 1928 he entered foreign
mission service as superintendent of
the South India Union Mission. Also
he served as president of the Western India Union Mission, covering a
total of eleven years of foreign mission service. While traveling in a
bullock cart to a village appointment
in Western India, he sustained a
spinal injury from which he suffered
for many years.
Returning to the United States, he
served as pastor-evangelist in the
Wisconsin Conference, then as civilian
chaplain at Camp Barkeley, Texas,
during the war. For eight years he
was pastor of the First Church in
Dallas and made a strong contribution to the growth of the work in
that area. From Galveston, Texas, he
accepted a call to East Pennsylvania.
Following a brief retirement in
California, in 1960 he responded to
6
part-time pastorate of the Denton,
Texas, church. It was at his home in
Denton that he suffered a sudden
heart attack which took his life on
Sabbath, January 16, ending 48 years
of active ministry.
Survivors are his wife of Denton;
four sons: Norman W., of Dallas;
Dr. Merton A., of Newark, Delaware;
Victor Roland, of Takoma Park,
Maryland; Elwyn L., of Glendale,
California; seven grandchildren;
one sister, Mrs. Olga Eyberg, of Duluth, Minnesota; four brothers: Nels,
of Elberta, Alabama; Dr. Ott, of
Spring City, Tennessee; Dr. John of
Collegedale, Tennessee; and Emil, of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
We extend sincere sympathies to
Sister Christensen and four sons, and
other relatives in their time of sorrow.
Corpus Christi Crusade
A seven-fold "amen" echoed through
the courts of heaven and the Corpus
Christi church on Sabbath, February
13, as the two-week Crusade for Christ
conducted by Pastor L. E. Tucker,
conference revivalist, reached its climax with the baptism of seven precious souls by Elder Rodney Dale,
church pastor, and the decision of six
others to unite with the church at
the next baptismal service.
The earnest prayers of Mrs. Terry
Ricks, Mrs. Joe Burns and Mrs. Everett Hopkins broke into overflowing
praise as they witnessed the baptisms
of their husbands. Brother and Sister Raymond Menges, who faithfully
brought Mrs. Martha Aguilar to the
fifteen meetings, were bubbling over

To Draft-age Young Men
Associate Director,
National Service Organization.
CLARK SMITH,
While none of us are able to foretell
the future, we do well to take a good
look at current happenings that give
indications of future trends. Every
family that has a young man in the
draft age, or soon to be of draft age,
is interested in the trends of the draft.
Statements were made during the recent political campaign that the draft
should be abolished. No doubt this will
be worked out eventually.
It has taken approximately 500,000
new recruits each year to maintain
the current total of 2,700,000 persons
in the Armed Forces of the United
States. From June 1963 to June 1964
an average of 12,000 each month were
drafted and 24,000 each month enlisted. The total came to 430,000
which is short of the 500,000 needed.
Since June, 1964, the average number of drafted men has been about
6,000 each month. At the same time
the number voluntarily enlisting has
dropped. There are various observers who see in these statistics a good
possibility of much larger draft calls
soon in order to maintain the total
needed for the Armed Forces.
These factors merely remind us
that it is necessary for each young
Seventh-day Adventist man to properly prepare himself for possible
military service as he approaches
draft age. If it is at all possible, parents should see to it that their young
men get Seventh-day Adventist Medical Cadet Corps training. This is offered in most of our academies and
each summer. The training for this
most observers feel that the process
will require several years. In the
meantime, what of trends in the near
future?
THE RECORD
