In Mississippi — a New Dimension A similar story is taking place in the small town of Lumberton, Missis- sippi, where three Adventist physi- cians have joined the work of the church in that community. Tom McFarland and Dan Stepp say their work in Lumberton has added a "new dimension" to the work of the church.

EIGHT Dateline

I Olk I Data

DECATUR, GEORGIA — — — Southern Union Conference membership surged to 98,179 during the third quarter of 1980. This represented a gain of 1,922 over the June 30 membership. Sparking the increase was South Atlantic's 1,266 baptisms and professions of faith during the three-month period, bringing the conference membership to 21,613. Second in baptisms and total membership was Florida, with 20,109 members, followed by Georgia-Cumberland, 16,910, South Central, 13,693, Carolina, 10,078, Kentucky-Tennessee, 9,470, and Alabama-Mississippi, 6,306.

NEWBURY PARK, CALIFORNIA — — — "John Hus," a film produced by Faith for Today, received three "Christian Oscars" this year from Christian Film Distributors, including Best Film of the Year, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. More than 200 individual film libraries vote each year in the selection of the awards.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA — — — Christian Record Braille Foundation and National Camps for Blind Children, a service of CRBF, have received the seal of approval from the National Information Bureau, culminating a 30-year effort by CRBF to receive NIB accreditation. Reasons for not sanctioning CRBF in the past were due to "not clearly revealing to the general public CRBF's relationship to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, appointing all board of trustee members from one denomination, and allowing paid staff to serve on the board." In 1978 all paid staff serving on the board, except the general manager, resigned. In addition, public information brochures and literature clearly state CRBF is operated by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. In many large cities businesses limit contributions to organizations with NIB approval.

TAKOMA PARK, MARYLAND — — — The State of Pennsylvania has recently extended official accreditation to the Home Study Institute's kindergarten, elementary, secondary, and college programs. The Virginia Department of Education has also confirmed recognition of HSI. In 1976 Maryland approved HSI's kindergarten through twelfth-grade courses. Home Study Institute, a component of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, is accredited by the National Home Study Council, a member of the National University Extension Association and the International Council for Correspondence Education.

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI — — — George E. Vandeman, speaker-director of the Adventist telecast It Is Written, has been chosen the 1980 "Faith and Freedom" award winner in the television category by Religious Heritage of America. This is the first time an Adventist has received such recognition since RHA was founded 30 years ago. Others receiving awards during the October 6 convention were Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Dr. David C. Read, Cardinal Carberry, and Evelyn Christensen.

It had been in the thoughts and in the plans in an abstract way for years. It was conceived as a possibility for this year only about the first of August. After much prayer, sacrifice, and hard work, it became a reality. All this without a qualified teacher would still add up to nothing, and God surely did His part by providing Miss Isobel Butler, who had served 15 years in Rhodesia as a missionary. A COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER offering temporary shelter for displaced families, food, clothing, and referral services was recently dedicated by the officials of the Seventh- day Adventist Church and a representative of the Department of Social Services.

The New Heights church in Jackson, Mississippi, witnessed a revival and reformation when God answered prayer, giving to the church healing, employment, and a spirit of faith and love. This was the result of a STEWARDSHIP EMPHASIS WEEK. The church accepted the challenge of 10 Plus 10 + Richard Bell is the pastor. More than 60 souls were BAPTIZED by D. C. Hatcher in the Yazoo City, Mississippi, district. The unique effort under a tent was held for six weeks in Port Gibson with local elder J. Terrain continuing the meeting while Hatcher ran for six weeks in Yazoo City and E. Young continued the meetings. Hatcher says of his elders, "These are the truly underated heroes." The BUILDING TEAM in Greenville, Mississippi, was happy when the trusses were set up and matched perfectly. Trusses are set in metal, anchored in concrete and they must fit together at the top. William Freeman, pastor of Hattiesburg, and also a builder, is directing the construction of this 300-seat church. "It seems that the $300,000 structure will cost only $200,000 with Freeman's help," reports Arthur Sanders, the pastor. The Maranatha church in Jackson, Tennessee, has a large SIGN in front of the church. Each evening it is automatically lighted. The attractive sign was designed, made, and installed by the pastor, Antoine Maycock. On May 10 the Royal Ambassador Pathfinders' club of the Berean church, Jackson, Mississippi, held a PATHFINDER AND TEMPERANCE CLUB PARADE. This was planned and organized by blind Pathfinder director Ben F. Newsome. Enhancing the parade were the numerous colorful, artistic, and stimulating posters and banners which messages declared a physical, social, mental, and spiritual war against the harmful use of drugs and intemper- ance. After the parade ended, a Pathfinders' temperance program was held at the church, featuring the mayor and fire department chief of Jackson and a state senator.

6AKWOOD COLLEG E

A recent report on the number of Black applicants to the nation's medical schools for the 1979-80 entering class revealed that Oakwood College ranked fourth in the nation among all colleges and universities supplying BLACK APPLICANTS TO MEDICAL SCHOOLS. The report showed that Howard University, D.C., supplied the largest number of Black appli- cants, 139. Other schools with a large number of Black applicants were Fisk University, Tennessee, with 49 applicants; Morehouse College, Georgia, with 36; and Oakwood Col- lege, Alabama, with 35; and Wayne State University with the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, both with 32. These colleges provided 323 (12.4 percent) of Black applic- ants and 130 (12.7 percent) of the acceptees to 1979-80 entering class. . . Four hundred thirty-three colleges supplied between one and four Black applicants. During the past 16 years approximately 47 Oakwood graduates have gone on to earn doctoral degrees in medicine and dentistry from some of the most prestigious medical schools in this country and in Europe, and an additional 44 Oakwood graduates are presently enrolled in medical and dental schools in this country and abroad.

Did you know that for the price of a good-quality man's dress shirt * you could send THESE TIMES to 5 families for 12 months and have money left over? That's 60 issues of a widely acclaimed, award-winning journal that dares to probe great moral issues confronting men and women today—such as abortion, euthanasia, pornography, child abuse, reincarnation, the occult, genetic engineering, infanticide, astrology, and gambling. The cost—only $27.50. Month after month THESE TIMES offers practical guidelines on Christian living. It probes the minds of national and international leaders through exclusive interviews. It explains key Biblical doctrines pertinent to Christian living today. It makes Christianity come alive through human-interest stories. And above all, it points the readers to the source of all truth, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Where else can you find such a bargain? *A Pierre Cardin dress shirt retails for $28.00.
