TWO ity added to the side. But that is not the case with Georgia-Cumberland Academy. Christian living has been made the foundation, influencing the entire weekly cycle. Church and Sabbath school services at Georgia- Cumberland Academy are different from the conven- tional type programs because they are designed for student involvement. One unusual activity particularly noticed is that Christian living and active Christian involvement in the lives of the students is reflected in every phase of the program. One might hear experiences such as how Janie met a new friend on her "share-a-loaf" project on Wednesday evening and how that friend is sick with the flu and Janie would like special GCA clowns, Lora Darbo, (Calhoun, Georgia), Stephanie Elkins, (Cal- houn), Susan Shaffer, (Carrollton, Georgia), and Joy Kitchen, (Cal- prayer in behalf of her Christian friend; how Jeff might houn), cheer a patient. talk about the children he is tutoring in reading from a local school, and the trouble the children have in their home life. The children express their feelings to Jeff how they wish "Mom and Dad wouldn't fight," and Jeff asks for special prayer for his young students to find assurance in Jesus. Students in this school are not just performing acts or putting frills on the educational process. They are totally occupied in Christian witnessing to the point that it influences the entire educational program at Georgia- Cumberland Academy. What a thrill it would be if this school's philosophy carried over into the Seventh-day Adventist churches across the Southern Union so that the pews would not LeClare Litchfield (right), outreach sponsor, sorts clothing for com- only be filled but that individual hearts and minds would munity families with Danny Song and Bobby Kim, of Atlanta, Georgia, be occupied with the work of the Lord every day.

What a transformation would come about in the public image of what Seventh-day Adventist Christianity really is like. Wednesday evenings at Georgia-Cumberland Academy will continue to leave the campus deserted because it is obvious that Christian education at that school is more than education with a few Christian frills.

FOUR late news ifithe conferences

PROPHECY LECTURES are being held at the Olde Providence Road School in Matthews, North Carolina. They are being sponsored by the newly organized MattheWs church (for- merly known as Southside). John Earnhardt, pastor of the Albemarle and Concord, North Carolina, churches, is leading out in the lectures. The pastor of the Matthews church, Paull Dixon, is opening the meetings each night with a 10-minute health talk. A PRISON MINISTRY has just been started in the Avery County Correctional Institute in the mountains of western North Carolina. Five members of the Banner Elk church are helping out in the prison ministry. The pastor of the church, John Huskins, received a request from a prison inmate, John Leffingwell, for instruction on how to better understand the Bible. The inmate had picked up a piece of SDA literature, was interested, and has been studying for about one year. HAMMERS AND PAINT BRUSHES have been busy in the Asheboro/Pittsboro, North Carolina, district. Waldo Greene, pastor, says the pews have been recushioned and the floors have been recarpeted in the Pittsboro church. He also indicates that the annex building in Asheboro has been recarpeted and repainted, and the storage building which houses the Dorcas has been repainted and carpeted and two baths have been added. Daisy Blackburn, a member of the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, church, felt that the Lord was calling her to a special RADIO MINISTRY. For the past several months gow, Daisy has broadcast a 15-minute program entitled "A Look Into the Bible" every Sunday afternoon. She talks openly about the Sabbath and other distinctive truths on station WVSL in Loris, South Carolina. There has been good listener response, as well as some opposition by other radio preachers. She is currently studying the Bible with three individuals in their home. On April 11 a SCIENCE FAIR was held by the fifth-and-sixth-grade class of Asheville- Pisgah church school, taught by Candis Elliott. First place was awarded to Jeremy Edmonds for his model of a canal lock system. Jill Stilwell won second place for her model of a solar house. Visitors were most impressed by the quality and creativity of all the exhibits.

The Lifestyles Department of the Collier County Health Department invited the Naples church to participate in a county-wide STOP-SMOKING coalition. Naples members and Rick LaVenture, pastor, conducted two plans with a graduation of 24 people who were honored at a celebration banquet. "We developed such a close relationship with them that some are coming to church now," says LaVenture. The church received news coverage of its participation on TV 9 and TV 20 in Naples and Ft. Myers and also on the Talk-Back television program on WNOG. Beverly Tillman, of Forest City, has become one of the first WOMEN ASSOCIATE YOUTH DIRECTORS in the denomination, a position held at the Southern California Conference. She is the daughter of Benny and Emma Lee Tillman, executive coordinators for the Pathfinder program in the Florida Conference. "Precious bonds of friendship were formed" between CHOIR MEMBERS of the New Port Richey church and the Asbury United Methodist church during the preparation and hours of rehearsals for a cantata entitled, "The Fourth Cross." The musical presentation about the death and resurrection of Jesus was presented to both churches the weekend of March 30 and 31 under the direction and planning of Nancy Sterner, New Port Richey choir director. The ASSOCIATION OF ADVENTIST WOMEN, a national organization, formed a Florida chapter. AAW is designed to encourage communication and support for women who are seeking to fulfill their highest potential in the Church, on the job, and in the home. "An Adventist Theological Perspective on Women" was the topic of the March 29 meeting in Orlando. Donna Haerick, speaker, is a member of the Forest Lake church and is supervisor of probation for Seminole County. Three hundred people crowded into a sanctuary made to seat 125 to participate in the INAUGURATION of the Avon Park Spanish church April 6. Speaking at the open house Conference President M. D. Gordon called on the members to follow in the footsteps of the early church and be a caring church. A large banner stating "Love In Working Clothes!!!" greeted Putnam County fair-goers at the Palatka CHURCH BOOTH. The well-designed and neat booth emphasized Jesus Cares, says Robert Kurth, astor. "Jesus cares for us not only as sinners but cares about our bodies. He is interested in our welfare." A dozen volunteers gave out 500-1,000 pieces of literature to those stopping by the booth during the six-day fair.

`PRI MARYVI LLE A Friendly Town"

by J. W. Clarke Photography by Tom Mills

The Memphis, Tennessee, First church primary department has a most unique and exciting Sabbath school program. Under the leadership of Deanette Mills and her staff, the boys and girls are provided with excellent instruction in a most interesting manner. The Sabbath school project is called Primaryville. Small "buildings" have been erected, such as the City Hall, where the "Mayor" takes the record of daily study from each child. The Bank has the "Banker" collecting the deposits (or offerings). The Postmaster is in charge of the "letters to God" (prayer requests). Then there's the Bakery, where every citizen who knows the memory verse goes to receive the "Bread of Life" (small brown construction paper loaf of bread). And then there's the Newsstand, where the "Paper Boy" gives the Primary Treasure and the bimonthly edition of the Primaryville Gazette. Also, old Primary Treasures are for the citizens to give out to friends in their neighborhoods. Mrs. Mills reports that "all the town responsibilities are rotated each month so each child will have a chance for a position. We call this our 'Town Activities.' It is done just before the morning prayer, so we have the prayer requests to read." To compensate for the "I'm - 10 - years - old - and - don't - want - to - wait - for - promotion - to - the - junior - department" blues, Mrs. Mills said, "we established a 'City Council' for those 'Senior Citizens' who are 10 years of age. They help with plans for Primaryville, give suggestions and help with Sabbath programs, as well as act as reporters for the Primaryville Gazette. In the Gazette, we have feature stories on some of the citizens (trips, pets, etc.). Some of the citizens contribute art and .,Paper poems." ore 8 Y. The bulletin board displays pictures of the citizens /leatherat th S e Car/ wsst CLartygive under the heading, "Primaryville— A Friendly Town, ohook and to Aehleysgelit:/7 Population 21." On the outside of the hall door is a tree 2710/3, rre that is decorated according to the season and also the /ow (left) a n9d greeting, "Welcome to Primaryville." "We are having a lot of fun with Primaryville," says Mills. "If I appear excited, it's because I really am! It is a great blessing to be able to work with such a fine group of young people. Our prayer is to help them decide to give their lives to Jesus."
