_DAKOTA Baptisms At Minot

By Phyllis Hehn The Minot Seventh-day Adventist Church rejoices with the angels over 39 souls who were added to the family of God during the Prophecy Countdown conducted recently by Lin Powell and his wife, Sandy. From Madison, Tennessee, Lin and Sandy have an outstanding background in business, education, and public service. More recently, they have dedicated their lives to full-time Christian work. Having traveled extensively, Lin is well acquaint- ed with problems of our world today. As an intense student of Bible prophecy, and with degrees in religion and business, he is well equipped to unfold the meaning of prophecy as it relates to our day. "Bible Predictions for Planet Earth" was the title of the brochure which was mailed to hundreds of residents of the Minot area preceding the series of evange- listic meetings held during June and July. The colorful brochure, featuring Jesus watching over a madly moving earth as the sands of time run out, was a follow-up of many weeks of preparation by lay-men under the supervision of Pastor Steve Beckwith and Bible worker, Bob Boyd. The Magic City Campus of the Minot Public Schools provided ample room for Children Love It the multi-screen, sophisticated, computer-operated system with its nine projec- tors giving colorful images on three large screens.

Vacation Bible School In Gackle Valley City-Lisbon Rally

By Elmer Haas Each year in late summer or early fall the Valley City and Lisbon Churches meet for a Sabbath in one of the pretti- est places in North Dakota. It's called Little Yellowstone Park. True, it doesn't have "Old Faithful" or any other geysers. But it does have lots of trees and a quiet stream. To camp in a tent on the stream's bank in early fall is a delightful experience. To worship with the combined church member- ships and the many guests on August 28th was a foretaste of heaven. Elder • John Bahr is the pastor of these two churches.

By Genive King Iowa put on her best weather for the Iowa-Missouri • Pathfinder Camporee. The sun was shining and the wild flowers were in profusion at Elkhorn Ranch, near Boone. Ron Scott, Youth Director, was on hand to welcome each of the ten clubs. The valley was bustling with over 200 campers. Each person seemed to know what to do and was busy doing it. The Pathfinders were inspired by the object lessons brought to them by Elder Timpson, associate secretary of • the Mid-America Union, each evening and during the Sab- bath hours. The pantomime presented by the Kansas City Standing Rock Club on the sacrifice of Isaac was impressive. Kansas City Standing Rock Club Puppeteers helped the young people understand the Sab- bath School lesson. The afternoon track and trail led over the hills, along the creek and back to camp, exposing the beauty of nature and filling everyone with gratitude to the Creator who • made such beauty. Games played in the evening finished off a full day. The Sunday events were full of excitement and fun. Each club received recognition for the points they had accumulated and each camper received a token remem- brance of the Camporee. Ron Scott and Mable Criswell deserve a big thank you for all the hard work that went into the pleasant weekend.

November 4, 1982 17 _HIGHLIGHTS Encounter With Ellen White—A Personal Testimony

By Dr. T. E. Wade Alice was a toddler when, in spite of family opposition, her mother became a Seventh-day Adventist. She and her sisters attended Sabbath School every week with their mother. But also, they never missed Sunday School with their father. • Alice finished high school in St. Louis and then began to study medicine at the American Medical Missionary College in Battle Creek, Michigan. After two years, this was interrupted by her marriage on New Year's Eve in 1900 to a young physician. They found a beautiful place with a natural hot spring at the foot of Mt. Princeton in the Colorado Rockies. They dreamed of developing a self-supporting sanitarium, but this dream collapsed. Later they obtained an option to purchase land with an artesian well flowing warm water at Canon City, Colorado. This seemed to be an answer to prayer. About this time I, Theodore Wade, their son, entered their home. With great dismay, my father received a letter from Ellen White advising that he was unqualified to develop and direct a sanitarium. She said that if he • persisted, the sanitarium would fail and that his very salvation would be threatened. Reluctantly, he abandoned the project; but the dream would not go away. While I was in high school, he began remodeling our home, which he hoped would develop into a sanitarium at Canon City. I was a student at Union College before my mother told me about the letter they had received from Ellen White. Mother said that although they were strangers, Ellen White had described my father's personality with surprising accuracy. In due time I graduated from medical school at Loma Linda, interned, served a residency in Los Angeles, and married the most wonderful woman in the world. The spring of 1943 found me in an officer's uniform on the army air base at Moses Lake, Washington. A psychiatrist from Stanfod University was also on the base. At a medical staff meeting, he discussed some problems of new recruits. His comments and demonstrations seemed to challenge my belief in Ellen White as the Lord's prophet. The exact nature of his threat cannot be covered here. Suffice it to say that I realized a decision must be made. I considered myself to be a loyal Seventh-day Adventist; however, I was busy studying to keep abreast of the advances in medicine and in solving the problems of sick people. I let preachers do the preaching. How could • I spend time reading such boring books as Testimonies for the Church? I had an index. Occasionally, I might look up some point. Mrs. Wade and I decided to learn for ourselves what Ellen White said. Would her work tolerate scrutiny? What should be my attitude toward it? We began with Early Writings. Every morning my wife read several pages aloud while our boys and I ate breakfast. At first the boys were too young to understand all the words and we would explain. Then we would kneel in prayer. This was our routine morning worship. We continued with one book after another, buying new ones as they appeared. As we read, uncertainty faded and confidence grew. We found consistency. We found harmony with Scripture. Not only was our faith • confirmed, but this experience probably helped establish the faith of our sons. I recommend the practice and we still do it. Time passed. Our sons finished academy. They graduated from Union College. Each served more than one term of foreign mission duty. At last I had the privilege of reading for myself the original copy of the letter which my father had received when I was a baby. By this time my parents and Ellen White were at rest. My father had regained his loyalty, and time had demonstrated the accuracy and wisdom of the counsel which the Lord had sent to my father through Ellen White. And the storm which threatened my faith had passed. • My reason for reviewing this bit of history is the hope that it may help someone who feels uncertain about what and whom to believe in this crisis hour. I feel particularly concerned for the children of people who, by their words and their lives reveal distrust in our leaders, people who half-heartedly support the ideas and ideals which have made us a distinct people. Is it possible that Jesus had our day and our problems in mind when He asked the penetrating question, "When the son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8) Note the context. He was speaking about His elect, His chosen ones. As the integrity of the one we call the Lord's messenger is being subtly challenged, and as the accuracy of • her teaching is being disputed, we should carefully and prayerfully search her writings. Each of us will probably find more or less what we are searching for. Those who are longing for the return of Jesus and who are willing to allow the Holy Spirit to make whatever changes in their lifestyles and habits that are necessary to fit them for a place in the New Earth will find the path to the Kingdom clearly described over and over and over again.
