Gas, water and electrical lines are being installed along with 12 new lab stations. During the past year it has been a school goal to bring the lab up-to-date. Funds have been raised by student solicitation to support the project. New equipment has been bought during the year. PAA is fortunate to have the professional expertise of alumnus Jack Betz, Class of 1941. Jack is volunteering his time to coordinate the project, including design, construction and cabinetry.

Over and over the thought of God making His appeal through us has been ringing in my mind. It is a deeply humbling thought as well as exciting. I believe the Lord would bring this concept to the forefront of our thinking right now. What difference does it make in our conduct, our priorities when we realize that God really wants to: Love through us? • Speak through us? • Teach through us? From a practical point of view I learned a great deal from Pastor Vasily D. Stolyar, president of the Volga- Uralian Conference in the Russian Union. As he and some of his members visited our conference, we had opportu- nity to visit and pray together. Yes, things are different in Russia.

Some spiritual leaders, after prayer, thought to suggest a unique time that could serve as a reminder point. 6:15 is not a normal time associ- ated with a lot of other activities. Now, very often when 6:15 is mentioned, people already think of daily prayer for the Holy Spirit. This is an invitation to pray at approximately 6:15 every morning to join others in your time zone to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on yourself, on your local church, on your pastors and church leaders and the work being done in God's name. Ellen White wrote in the Review My Prayer Commitment and Herald, January 3, 1907, "A chain of earnest praying Yes! I will be a part of the 6:15 prayer group believers should encircle the world ... to pray for the Holy around the world for the Holy Spirit. Spirit."

Also, the local church beings, to accept those differences and also to appreciate as an organization has the responsibility to continue to fulfill differences among us. its mission within its own community. Peace in the church family is one of the great desires for all members of the church, especially for leaders of the church. That peace is based on love and comes from the joy of Christ in our hearts. Conference leadership is issuing an appeal based on Ephesians 5 that each of us in our sphere of influence will contribute to resolving conflict and the practice of peace. ersonal Work One of the fundamentals for successful church life and successful personal Christian living is personal work. One person ministering to the needs of another person is one of the basic Christian activities. Christ is the ultimate model for personal work.
