ADVENTIST REVIEW, DECEMBER 28, 1989 (1383) 7 And he CHARLES L. loves hooks, and people, BROOKS and the Lord. BY BARBARA JACKSON-HALL

t's the summer of last year, or the year before, or five years ago—it's the summer of any I given year. Hundreds of people throng a huge tent. Maybe you're one of them. The crowd listens intently to each word as an evangelist wraps up a power- ful message on hope and salvation. As the speaker begins an appeal the organist plays softly. Then a kind-faced man steps to the lectern. Soon his strong, sweet, mellow tenor rings out: "I was drift- ing away on life's pitiless sea, and the angry waves threatened my ruin to be. And away at my side, there I dimly descried a stately old vessel, and loudly I cried, 'Ship ahoy, ship ahoy.' " Lumps fill throats, tears stream, and people leave their seats to move down the aisle. If you're familiar with Adventist summer evangelism, you know that the man with the heart-drawing tenor is Charles L. Brooks, associate director of the General Conference Church Ministries Department. SINGS, But it's not just his gift of music that has endeared him to thousands within and without the Adventist Church; it's also his winsome per- sonality. Many are not sure which they admire most. But what they are certain of is that from all appear- ances, the hand of God is upon this SMILES, preacher and educator who sings, and smiles, and prays.

Animal Proteins Raise Risk Proteins that produce maximum growth appear also to maximize the secretion of insulin. This results in higher cholesterol synthesis and therefore higher blood cholesterol levels. Plant proteins, on the con- trary, lower the secretion of insu- lin. Cholesterol produced by the body, combined with that from foods, greatly increases the risk of death from heart attack or stroke. Plant proteins can actually de- crease the output of insulin and thus decrease cholesterol synthesis and subsequently the risk of heart disease.

Sabbathkeepers Arrested Religious liberty concerns deep- ened in the 1880s when Southern states such as Kentucky and Ten- nessee began enforcing strict Sun- day observance, especially against Sabbathkeeping Adventists. In one case the authorities arrested R. M. King in June 1889 as he plowed corn one Sunday in his field. Meanwhile, efforts in Europe and Australia to enact Sunday laws indicated that the challenge had become interna- tional in scope.

I told him that an average of more than 1,100 were being baptized each day and that well over 1 million new mem- bers would join us by the time of our international conference (General Conference session).
