C011.1”•• • UNI ON "WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME?" ISITOR by LYNDON DE WITT, Coordinator of Evangelism West Virginia Conference Cirilio Sinclair was no stranger to the message of the Adventist Church. Fact of the matter was, he had been reared by a devout Adventist mother. But his work on the ship had led him into the pleasures of sin of every type. Official Publication of the COLUMBIA UNION CONFERENCE We first met Cirilio about a month ago in Puerto Cortez, Honduras. He and his of Seventh-day Adventists wife and four lovely daughters attended the meetings we were holding in Salon 007 7710 Carroll Avenue in that large port city. And when the first call for surrender was made, Cirilio and his Takoma Park, Maryland 20012 Telephone: Code 301, 588-0650 family responded and joined the class to prepare for baptism.

But then, as the disciples looked forward to the fourth great event, the second COLUMBIA UNION CONFERENCE coming of their Lord, they went forth to preach, "filled with joy, and with the Holy ASSOCIATION Ghost."

Through the spoken word and in the printed page, God speaks to man. These Times and Message carry on this ministry of the printed page. Seven years ago a new idea for the two magazines was born. Special cen- ter-spread articles were prepared, and reprints of these articles were made available as tracts. These up-to-date reprints have proved to be a valuable tool to the laymen also. In the seven years of using the reprints, nearly 28 million of them have been distrib- uted. All of the eternity-slanted material has its effect. Letters by the hundreds come to the editorial offices of the Southern Publishing Association ex- pressing appreciation for the maga- zines. Many find the journal in doctors' offices or in hospitals.

DOES God direct men and women to a knowledge of truth for this day? Ask Elder Garnet F. Williams, pas- tor of the Alexandria church, that question and he will give you an af- firmative answer. "I was really sur- prised one Sabbath last summer, when a visitor in an Adventist church for the first time, told me that she be- lieved in the Sabbath. Yes, I know God is leading men and women to- day." The visitor that Elder Williams re- fers to is Mrs. Russell Brown. She, her husband, and three children, Rus- sell, Jr., Timothy, and Brenda are all members of the Alexandria church as the result of that first visit. The beginning of this interesting search for truth goes back to West Virginia when Russell Brown was a young man of 18. He remembers a literature evangelist visiting the home and his mother purchasing a book. The book was "Great Controversy." Russell Brown read it. The one thing he remembers from his reading was the information about the image of Meet the Russell Brown family: the mother and the father and the chil- the beast. dren, Russell Jr., Timothy and Brenda.

Maryland's legislature has seen the introduction of identical house and senate bills proposing an instruction-purchase plan similar to Pennsylvania's. An increase in the State's cigarette tax would finance the program. It is being opposed by a quickly organized consortium of religious, community, and ethnic group leaders temporarily calling themselves the Friends of Public Education. West Virginia has a similar proposal pending in its legislature. In addition, legislators hard-pressed by constituents with children in parochial schools have prepared a resolution calling for a legislative investigation of the needs of church-related schools. In Virginia the furor over the legislature's proposal to amend the State constitution without lifting the ban on State aid for sectarian schools continues unabated. At press time, hearings were continuing in Richmond on demands by churches for constitutional relief of their fiscal woes. In one all-day committee session, testimony alternated between insistence, on one hand, that church- related education is so nearly bankrupt that it cannot survive without State help, and assurance, on the other, that if parents really want sectarian edu- cation for their children they should and can pay for it. 17 Umbrellas are made to keep people dry, But showers like this are too good to pass by.
