With its marvelous resources and opportunities, America will continue to furnish the men and means necessary to spread the gospel message to earth's remotest bounds. It would be well for Adventists to re- new in their minds the dramatic exploits of faith, statesmanship and courage that made America a nation. These reasons have now been made available to us and our children in a most readable and in- teresting form. Dr. Merlin L. Neff in his magnificent three volumes, Our Heritage of Faith, presents in a compelling manner t h e spiritual and political foundations under- girding our democracy. Wonderfully il- lustrated with over 100 master paintings and 450 illustrations, these beautiful volumes enrich not only the mind but also enhance the library with their im- posing appearance. They are a delight to behold from within and without. Because of their importance at this time of national history, the publishers ( Pacific Press) are offering the three volumes to our church members for the low discount price of $22.95, plus tax. I would counsel each family to contact its Book and Bible House and make ar- rangements to purchase the books im- mediately. Once in your possession these volumes will constitute a priceless treasure chest of American heritage and spiritual faith. Why not write to the Book and Bible House today? viva 11E03.

G. C. Williamson, L. F. Webb, President Secretary-Treasurer Wyoming Conference Session

Casper, Wyoming, was host to the delegates attending the tenth biennial session of the Wyoming Con- erence of Seventh-day Adventists. The 97,914 square miles comprising this scenic state are made up of rug- ged mountains, elevated plateaus, awe-inspiring national parks, rolling plains, forests and 408 square miles of inland water surface. Here one discovers the true spirit of the west as well as grizzly bears, brown bears, moose, elk, antelope and Bighorn sheep. In abundance are also found geese, grouse, wild duck and sage hen. Within this natural wonderland live some 327,000 people, of whom 1,325 are Adventists. Those seeking homes in natural surroundings should not overlook Wyoming. In his report the conference president, Elder G. C. Williamson, revealed substantial gains during the past two years in tithe, mission offerings, Branch Sabbath Schools, Vacation Bible Schools, Signs and Review and Herald subscriptions. Regarding the latter, Wyoming achieved the highest per capita among Central Union conferences. All pastors led their districts in selecting Target Towns for evangelistic purposes and three such areas have groups ready for organization into companies or churches. It is anticipated that still other groups will be organized as a result of intensified minister-laymen activity. The delegates adopted far-reaching plans calling for expansion of all lines of gospel work. Special attention was given to methods that would accelerate Christian education, youth activities, distribution of gospel literature, Voice of Prophecy coverage, Bible studies and public evangelism. When implemented, these plans and methods should, with God's blessing, aid materially in increasing the membership of the conference. Both the delegates and those attending the camp meeting were inspired by the messages of M. E. Loe- wen, J. M. Jackson, Dr. C. S. Small, 0. L. Driskell, K. E. Vonhof, G. G. Davenport, Dr. L. W. Welch, G. E. Rhoads and the staff members of the local and union conferences. Elected for the ensuing term were: G. C. Williamson, President; L. F. Webb, Secretary-Treasurer; H. H. Voss, Home Missionary, Sabbath School and Publishing; Dr. A. J. Balkins, Medical Secretary. In addition to the presidency, Elder Williamson also carries the Educational, Missionary Volunteer and Religious Liberty departments. Elder Webb also acts as Book and Bible House Manager and ASI secretary. The Temperance, Radio-TV and Public Relations departments are supervised by Elder Voss. The new conference Executive Committee consists of the following: G. C. Williamson, L. F. Webb, H. H. Voss, L. 0. Barnes, 0. L. Maize, E. E. Johnson, Dr. L. W. Kattenhorn, Nathan Sims and Walter Pier- son. Let us pray for these men and their associates as they labor to finish God's work in Wyoming. Theodore Carcich
