greatest advantages of Collonges stu- dents is that each post-secondary student receives a card giving him the use of the great University of Geneva library on the same basis as that of the university's students. At the time of our visit there were 30 students from North America enrolled under the Adventist Colleges Abroad program. Graduates from Collonges are to be found in all French-speaking areas of the world.

This school near Darmstadt serves the German- speaking constituency. At the time of our visit there were 238 students en- rolled in the seven-year secondary course, and 80 (including 20 Adventist Colleges Abroad students) in the theological course. The school is beautifully situ- ated, and the facilities are good. A new building is under construction. When it is finished it will provide for new admin- istration offices, a library, a dining room and kitchen, and a music department.

Prophecy once beamed its truth-filled messages only once a week, now it is broadcasting daily on some 100 stations, a number of them situated in the larg- est cities—New York, Chicago, Los An- geles, Atlanta, Denver, Houston. These everyday broadcasts are more than 20 times as effective in response as are the once-a-week programs. The everyday broadcasting to which the Voice of Prophecy has turned is typi- cal of the advancing thrust in each of its outreaches—broadcasts, Bible schools, and public evangelistic crusades, as is indicated by the box below. "Naturally we are thankful for this accelerating growth," says H. M. S. Richards, Jr., director-speaker of the Voice of Prophecy. "We are thankful but not content. God has far greater vic- tories in souls won to His cause just ahead, and we are impatient to claim these victories."
