Calls Outside the Union Take Three From Staif Elder Phil Gager has become pastor of the Ann Arbor, Michigan, church. For the past eight years the Gagers have ably carried the leadership of the Atholton church, along with other responsibilities in the conference. We wish them the Lord's richest blessing as they take up their new responsibilities in Michigan. Elder Jim Hoehn has transferred to Colorado as pastor of the Boulder church. The office staff will miss Jim's cheery presence as lay activities, Sab- bath school, and Ministerial secre- tary. Roxy and Jim have been much appreciated in their pastoral ministry of the Spencerville church and their leadership in our conference office. We wish them Godspeed in their new assignment. Cecil and Darlene May have ac- cepted a call for him to serve as asso- ciation treasurer of the Texas Confer- ence. For the past five years Cecil has ably carried the assistant treasurer's work for our conference. We wish the Mays the Lord's rich blessing as they take up their responsibilities in Texas.

Legally blind and too frail now to attend church services, Mother Stone enjoys singing, music, and listening as others read to her from the Bible and other books. Her longevity and good health she attributes to a family characteristic, her faith in God, and her vegetarian diet. The promises of 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, John 14:1-3, and 1 Corin- thians 2:9 are part of her twelve fa- vorite verses. She makes her home with her daughters, Helen and Evelyn Stone. Her customary farewell, "The Lord be with you," is an expression of her faith in God and love for every- one.

Baptism a Rich Experience for 18 New Converts Many were baptized recently as the result of cooperative efforts on the part of several. Robert Leiske, Jr., with his team from the American Religious Town Hall, conducted meetings in the Trenton church May 19 through June 3.

Four of the five who were baptized are shown with Elder Leiske (extreme right): Danny Gerath, Michael Muccie, Frank Gerath, Donna LaRode, and Mrs. Morley (not pictured). Juan Chavez, pastor of Passaic Spanish, baptized five. Domingo Hernandez, pastor of Elizabeth Spanish, baptized three, and Camilo Zambrana, pastor of New Brunswick, baptized three. Christof Kober, conference Sabbath school and trust services director, baptized his two sons, Neal and Kevin, at Burlington.

VISITOR REVIEW, JULY 27, 1978 120 Harold Baasch Director of College Affairs

Dr. Loveless Writes . . .

Dear Friends, Columbia Union College is alive and well in Ta- koma Park. I would like to invite you to come to see for yourself this summer, and then enroll for the fall term, September 6. What other denominational college has in its area the largest library in the world? What other college is in the midst of great research organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Agriculture's experiment station at Beltsville, Brook- ings Institute, NASA, Folger Memorial library, Na- tional Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and scores of Government agencies that have at their fingertips information that is valuable to hungry stu- dents? What other college has access to the Govern- ment process that influences the course of world history? What other denominational college is surrounded by job opportunities like those around CUC? These are combined with good transportation facilities that make those jobs handy and realistic. Where else can a college be located for students to regularly visit our denominational headquarters and observe the church in action? How many colleges have access to the complete library of original writ- ings of Ellen White? What other college has such a tremendous opportunity for witnessing to people of influence? The answer is obvious, no other denomi- national college can begin to offer these CUC advan- tages. It would be a mistake to suppose that the best reason for attending a Christian college is to attend William Loveless religion classes. It would be equally unfortunate to assume that the only difference in a local community and living. At Columbia Union College we are dedi- college or university is the absence of religious stud- cated to providing students and faculty the opportu- ies as taught at an Adventist college. The real dif- nity of meeting our Lord, and learning together the ference between Christian and secular higher educa- true meaning of education and life. tion lies in the basic premise of education itself. For CUC is close enough to a major city to take advan- the Christian, education attempts to inculcate a life- tage of the great witnessing opportunities and re- style built on the premise that man is created by a sources available, yet far enough removed to the God who upholds the universe by His personal in- suburbs to be separate from Washington. CUC will volvement. be offering the unique blend of urban advantages The process of education for the Christian aims at with Christian concern. All I ask is that you give us an providing the student with valid information and, opportunity to demonstrate our advantages. If you most important, a way of organizing and using that do, you'll stay! information so that it reflects the character of Christ. Sincerely, To reflect the character of Christ is seen by the WILLIAM LOVELESS Christian as the most worthwhile goal of education President, Columbia Union College

Come to a fully accredited college to enjoy a complete education.
