By H. M. S. RicHARDs, Director and Speaker

A man living in Iowa who has driven heavy trucks some 800,000 miles wrote The Voice of Prophecy: "Almost all my life I have wandered from pillar to post, unstable in everything I've ever done. "I have always known there is a God, but I never knew how much I needed Him, until one night on Hoosier Pass in Colorado, on Highway 9, between Fairplay and Frisco. I was returning to a small town on Highway 40 called Fraser. I had just started driving a truck for this company and wanted to do my best and make a good showing. I had not slept for about a day and a half. "When I got to Fairplay, it had just started to sprinkle, and I thought I could rest for a while. When I woke up it had been snowing, and the sprinkle was now sleet. But, foolishly, I went ahead. Just as I started off, I lost control on the first curve, and turned around one and one-half times in a place too small to do this, I thought. "I remembered I had been thinking how nice things were going to be now, with my good job and everything going so well. Death is some- thing we all expect, but as I looked into that canyon, which in the darkness looked like a bottomless pit, I remembered asking, 'Oh, God, not now, please!' I know He heard me, and my short prayer was answered right then. When the truck had come to a complete stop, the trailer was partly hanging over the edge of that bottomless pit.

Ownbey Chapel Seventh-day Adventist Church located on Sand Mountain in Alabama.

and Mountain, a rural area in the northeast corner of Alabama, is unique to the Adventist work. The top of Sand Mountain is one of the most densely populated rural areas in the United States. Most of the people are truck farmers or flower growers. Two of the main crops are gladi- olas and potatoes. One firm markets upwards to 12,000 dozen "glads" per week during the summer months. In this small mountain-top area, also known as Floral Crest, are two Adventist churches, an eight-grade school with two teachers and forty- five students, and a well-stocked welfare center. The two churches are only twelve miles apart, and yet they are both growing. The Floral Crest church, which is the mother church, began almost sixty years ago and has been in its present building since about 1935. The membership grew until at one time the church had a membership of nearly 250. About three years ago, the members of the Floral Crest church felt a growing concern for the multitudes of people in the densely-populated area who had not heard the Adventist message. They decided that if they would build a new church they could do more witnessing, and this would awaken new interest among the member- ship and serve as an evangelistic center for win- ning souls. A committee was appointed to look for a build- ing site and try to purchase land. So favorable was the Adventist image in the area that every landowner contacted indicated a willingness to sell land for a church. After looking at several spots, a lot was chosen on Alabama State Highway #75. The owner of the property stated he would sell to the Adventists for whatever price they named. The church voted to give $500 for the one-acre lot. It is located where many people pass each day to be reminded of the Adventist work in the com- munity. Plans were drawn for the new church, and the members rallied to do most of the building themselves. Some came direct from their regular jobs and worked late into the evenings. The structure has a sanctuary seating capacity of one hundred forty and sufficient beautiful Sab- bath school rooms. It is valued at over $45,000. The date for the opening was set, and it proved to be a very grand opening. On the first Sabbath of services in the building a church was officially organized with 67 charter members, and it, was dedicated free of debt. Dr. R. E. Ownbey related an interesting history of the church. W. D. Wampler, conference presi- dent, gave the dedication sermon, and A. J. Hess, conference secretary-treasurer, led in the act of dedication. J. H. Whitehead, Southern Union secretary-treasurer, gave the ordination charge to the new deacons, and Walter Marshall, present pastor, burned the mortgage. The members unanimously voted to name the new church "Ownbey Chapel" in appreciation for the many years of continuous, dedicated service and the consistent Christian life of Dr. Ownbey. While the men were busy building the church, some of the ladies were busy doing missionary work, preparing for an evangelistic meeting. For many weeks the area was covered with literature, especially with "Bible In The Hand" material. Immediately following the completion of the church, W. D. Brass, conference evangelist, and pastor Walter Marshall conducted a three-week evangelistic crusade. During these meetings, the A, Dr. R. E.

Dinah jumped off the 12-foot tower, clutching the end of a long rope tied to a tall tree limb above her and swinging out above the water. Someone yelled, "Drop!" Instantly she let go of the rope and dropped into deep water. Coming back to the surface she heard, "This way! This way!" Dinah is blind. She was making her first leap into water she couldn't see. More than that, she was trusting her counselor for the first time. Before that moment she had never "seen" her. Nevertheless, she put her life in the counselor's hands. Dinah Hale, from Lumberton, Mississippi, was one of 94 blind children, ages 9 to 14, from rive southern states who attended the 1968 Christian Record Braille Foundation camp this summer at Camp Kulaqua. When I saw Eddie Davis get up on water skiis and ride behind a powerful boat, I asked how many times he had C. G. Cross, general manager of the Christian Record Braille done it before. Ray Hubbartt, southeast division director of Foundation in Lincoln, Nebraska, enjoyed visiting with Terry and the Foundation, replied, "This is his first time ever! He Jerry Smith and Marty Woody from Tennessee during the camp fell a few times, but now he is all right." I can imagine for the blind children. that it is a genuine triumph for a blind boy to learn to water ski. One lad was afraid to get onto a horse for a trail ride, but his pals were going, and he wanted to go too. When he was "shown" the stirrups, saddle and reins, he wasn't at all sure that he wanted to ride as much as he had first thought. But all around him his buddies were being hoisted into saddles, so he mounted too. The general organization of this camp appealed to me. When each child registered, he was assigned to a counselor. This counselor was in charge of four children. Each group was given the name of a bird, like "Robin." They slept at the Robin cabin and ate at the Robin table in the spacious cafeteria. The counselor was with his group 24 hours a day. "Good morning, campers!" boomed out of the P.A. system early in the morning, followed by lively and loud music, then the flag ceremony and breakfast. No one asked which church, if any, these campers belonged to, but before eating everyone stood and sang a little prayer of thanks. The only other time in the daily program for something specifically religious was at the evening campfire when a religious story was told and prayer closed the day. No doctrines—just love, courtesy, interest, respect and helpfulness were evident Even though blind, Janie Hirons, Robbie Miller and Robin Davis expressed enjoyment over one of the live alligators at Camp everywhere, yet, all the children and their parents knew Kulaqua. it was sponsored by Seventh-day Adventists. When the children said their goodbyes at the close of camp, some said they wanted to be Seventh-day Adventists. All said it was a marvelous Christian camp. Baby Doll was the center of attraction much of the time. She was a little black bear about three months old. She and her twin brother were found in the woods not far from camp. They were tiny orphans. The brother was sent to a zoo and Baby Doll was given to Camp Kalaqua. She was tied to a tree by a long chain and drank milk out of a bottle like a human baby. Her sharp teeth and big claws forecast an interesting future. Everyone had to hold and play with her. Deer and their cute fawns, royal peacocks, various birds, a not-too-happy bobcat, many alligators up to about three feet long, several kinds of snakes, and other wild life native to the surrounding areas were kept in cages or pens for obser- vation and study by the campers. Most of them could be handled by the children and most of the blind boys and girls anxiously took their turn at feeling each wild thing that the guides thought safe. Probably every camper "saw" the little fawns by running his hands over the animals head, ears, neck, each leg and hoof, back and tail! Another camp for blind children will be conducted at beautiful Camp Kulaqua next summer. If you wish to rec- ommend a blind child, send his name and address to Ray N. Hubbartt, Box 235, Apopka, Florida 32703.

F. W. Parker, pastor of the Savannah, Georgia, church, took leave at the request of the con- ference committee to spend the summer in evangelistic activities at Charleston, South Caro- lina. Pictured are some of the children who went through the five-week Day Camp which was sponsored by the evangelistic meeting. A new building has recently been purchased for the congregation in Charleston, and approximately 50 new members will be added to it from the summer effort.

Sin separated man from God. The prophet Isaiah made it very plain in his words recorded in Isaiah 59:2. "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear." Sin has caused havoc and distress to man from its inception, but God has not left man without a way of escape. Rather, from the day sin entered this planet, God had a plan to extract man from the mire of sin. The route to escape sin's grasp is simple but well defined in the Bible. Yet, millions miss God's plan and go on in misery and degradation. The word of God sets forth three steps from sin to salvation. The first step is revealed in Luke 13:3. "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." The word "repent" means to stop and turn front or away. Step number two is given in Matthew 18:3—"Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." The word "converted" indicates a change of mind, of life and purpose. Step one---repentance—stops man from his downward plunge in sin and helps him express sorrow for his sin. Step two—conversion—is that inexplicable blessing that the spirit of God bestows upon the repentant sinner. Old sinful habits of life are discarded, and art entire new life given the lost sinner. Step three is found in Acts 22:16---"Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins." Baptism is the symbol God uses to indicate a complete washing away of "re- pented" and "turned-away-front" sins. The great commission of Christ to His church is "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatso- ever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:19. 20. The ten thousand members, officers, pastors and conference leaders of the South Atlantic Conference have literally taken this commission as their life's responsibility. During the first eight months of 1968, pastors and laymen have joined hands in a conference-wide "share your faith" program. To the end of August, 1,000 new members have been baptized. This is a new record for the South Atlantic Conference. Seventeen major evangelistic meetings have been opened since camp meeting. To date the following baptismal reports have been made from these campaigns—

TOTAL 650

For the month of August alone, baptisms soared to the 650 mark—also a new record for South Atlantic. There were nearly 100 more baptisms in this month alone than in the whole third quarter of 1967, when there was a record number of 607. August was set as baptism month and God blessed each evangelist and pastor with great success. The goal for 1968 is to add twelve hundred new members to the conference. The second quarter closed with a membership of 9,601. Baptisms for August have, at last, helped South Atlantic realize its fond dream A. C. D.

While in the next Sabbath, Elder Williams received a call from the city councilman saying, "The lot is yours; go on with your meeting." The Charlotte church experienced a high Sabbath that day.

14 who could be reached in no other way. Prejudice prevents some people from attending Adventist churches or evangelistic meetings, but many of these people will listen to sermonettes over the telephone. The greatest benefit from this new aid is that it puts the church in touch with people who feel a need. This is the kind of people that Christ worked among. Telephone success will depend on how well pastors and church members meet the needs of the people who call. There is need to develop friendships with these people and not treat them as just another statistic in a list of Bible School enrollments. Code-a-phone is bringing results.

Pastor Robert Wood, left, Dr. B. E. McLarty, center, and Dr. K. E. Lindsay found tremendous satisfaction in setting fire to the final $50,000 note, signifying that the Memphis First Church is debt-free and can be dedicated to the Lord.

MEMPHIS FIRST CHURCH DEDICATED

The burning of a final $50,000 note of a $200,000 mortgage on the sanctuary and furnish- ings of the Memphis First Seventh-day Adventist Church on Sabbath afternoon, August 24, was the highlight of a homecoming and dedication weekend. The four-year-old sanctuary was dedicated debt-free in a ceremony conducted by Elders E. L. Marley, president of Kentucky-Tennessee Con- ference, and Robert Wood, pastor of the church. Southern Union president, H. H. Schmidt, delivered the dedication sermon. Dr. B. E. McLarty, chair- man of the church's finance committee, put a match to a copy of the retired note. Pastor Wood said liquidation of the debt opens the door for "serious planning" of an education building just south of the sanctuary. A fine old home now houses the Sabbath school and Dorcas facilities at the site of the proposed new building. But not all was a look to the future. Before dedicatory services, members and visitors car- avaned to the congregation's former home in mid- Memphis, now a Pentecostal Church.

16 ENTHUSIASM AND ORGANIZATION SPELLS SUCCESS Mrs. Louise Lindsay, director of the Memphis First church Sabbath school's Vacation Bible School, reports that organization and contagious enthu- siasm resulted in another highly successful VBS, with twenty-five capable and willing helpers assist- ing her. With a total enrollment of over 100 youth, nearly fifty were from families not belonging to the church. Earliteens, youth, and adults gave valuable assistance in the various departments. The craft program was directed by Edith Howard and Fay Mills, with Robbie and Joan Mills, Harold Branum, Sheryl Herring and Stanley Osborn assisting. Mrs. Ann Wiseman and daughter, Anita, en- hanced the program by bringing live specimens of rare animals each day. Department heads were Mrs. Lin Richert, kindergarten; Mrs. Z. D. Hurt, primary; and Mrs. Dorothy Johnson, junior. Other adults who willingly assisted were Mrs. Kathy Thompson, Mrs. Ruth Sterling, Mrs. Madie Rogers, Mrs. Rose Norman and Mrs. Joyce Lohr. Teenage helpers were Diane Gilmore, Jean McLarty, Julie Crafts for both boys and girls were extremely interesting to those who attended the Vacation Bible School.

This area will then be converted into a woodworking shop for instruc- tion of students interested in the manual arts. The gymnasium project will also fill the accreditation requirement as set forth by both the State of Georgia and the General Conference Department of Education calling for indoor recreational and physical education facilities. Plans call for a $25,000 conference-wide offering to be received in each church on Sab- bath, November 23, for the new recreational the Publishing Department of the General Conference was organized in 1902. The literature ministry had come to occupy such an important place in the denomination as an evangelizing a- gency that the leaders felt the time had come for this important work to be represented in the Gen- eral Conference by an organized department. This gave the publishing work full denominational rec- ognition and was the beginning of a great advance movement for literature distribution throughout the world field. The Publishing Department within the local conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is responsible for the distribution of denominational literature. The proclamation and promulgating of the Third Angel's Message is in the hands of every member of the church. Our work is to lighten the world with Seventh-day Adventist literature. "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory." Rev. 18:1. The first of February 1946, the South Central Conference Publishing Department was organized. Within the confines of this great conference, over three million Negroes generalized the population of the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis- sissippi, and the northern part of Florida. Dedi- cated, devoted members of the church are called and invited to make up an army of self-supported ministers armed with tracts, books and magazines. Millions of dollars worth of truth-filled literature is sold, thousands of tracts are given away, thousands of prayers are offered in the homes of the people, Bible studies are given and thousands of souls are baptized who can trace their first conviction to the reading of Adventist literature. The conference Publishing Department is to make a definite contribution to the conference pro- gram of winning souls. Every department in the General and local conference is very important, but the literature ministry is an endeavor of the highest order. "Our publishing work was estab- lished by the direction of God, and under His special supervision." Christian Service, p. 148. August 17, 1968, eight precious souls were buried with their Lord by baptism in the Meharry Seventh-day Adventist Church in Nashville, Ten- nessee. All were the work of literature ministers who were motivated not by silver or gold, but by the love of a missionary work of the highest order. Here is the only reason for living. No person or thing should come before the work of door-to-door service as literature ministers. "In working for perishing souls, you have the companionship of angels. Thousands upon thousands, and ten thou- sand times ten thousand angels are waiting to cooperate with members of our churches in com- municating the light that God has generously given, that a people may be prepared for the coming of Christ." Testimonies, vol. 9, p. 129. May the Lord help us to be conscious of this most important work. If there is anyone who has beenimpressed to join this high and holy endeavor, please write to your publishing secre- tary of the South Central Conference.

CAMP MOHAVEN, OHIO — This summer Adventist amateur radio operators from the eastern United States gathered at Camp Mohaven in Ohio for the first get- together of Adventist "hams" in seven years. In 1942 there were about 25 Ad- ventist "hams." Today there are about 700 of them scattered around the globe. Most of them get together regularly on the radio and know each other by their call letters. Each Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. they set their dials and talk with each other, often to pass on news or handle "traffic." Other sessions are held each Thursday afternoon. Each morning at 6:00 a.m. many members of the east- ern Adventist Amateur Radio Network participate in a Bible Study Network.

30 Last month we began to illustrate how some of children's basic needs could be satisfied through good reading. This month we'll finish up the discussion of the SAVE last three important needs, and mention some books you can use to meet these needs. One important thing that children must have as they grow up is acceptance, especially by those in their own age group. This becomes doubly significant in junior high and high school. Miriam Wood's THE ART OF LIVING WHEN 55c YOU'RE YOUNG, Vol. 2, is a perfect answer to this problem. Mrs. Wood knows the language of the "in crowd," and she discusses teen problems in a realistic, humorous style. Published by Review and Herald. Children also need to feel the emotional security of giving and receiving love. COOKIE—A PUPPY'S TALE, by Theo L. Norris, satisfies this need beautifully. Kenny is a little boy who has been sick for a long time. He is getting better, but he still can't play outdoors, and he is terribly lonely. Then Grandpa brings him a surprise a sad-faced little cocker spaniel named Cookie, and how Cookie and Kenny love each other! A charming story with excellent illustrations, COOKIE is for primary age children. Published by Southern Publishing Association. The last need, and one of the most important, is every child's need to appre- ciate beauty. GOD'S OTHER BOOK, written and illustrated by Joe Maniscalco, is an especially fine book for this purpose. Beautiful four-color paintings, perfect in every detail, illustrate the brief, factual descriptions of many well-known birds and animals. Published by Southern Publishing Association. There are many varieties of beauty, and one that children can learn to enjoy early is the beauty of good music. We think your whole family will enjoy SONGS FROM HAWAII, by the Choir. The inter- esting blend of some new, typically Hawaiian, musical arrangements with the traditional songs adds new spice to many well-known pieces. The "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is particularly well done. Available in the economical Blue Seal series from Chapel Records. As you seek to meet the many, varied needs of the children in your home, your school, or your church, you may be interested in some plans underway for the revamping of a familiar magazine. Beginning in January, 1969, THE AD- VENTIST HOME will have a brand new look. The size will be similar to that of many other denominational magazines (THESE TIMES, REVIEW AND HERALD, etc.) and the content will feature columns by several well-known authorities on child care and home economics as well as articles on school physical fitness programs, home finances, and dozens of other fascinating topics. The layout ON EACH will be as modern as tomorrow, and the publication schedule will be expanded to six issues per year. We think this is a magazine that every homemaker and teacher will find invaluable. Watch for it in 1969! PAULA BECKER, Book Department, Southern Publishing Association cwrncr
