DD HAWAIIAN ISLANDS OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE PACIFIC UNION CONFERENCE OF SEVENTH.DAY ADVENTISTS VOL. 60 ANGWIN, CALIFORNIA, MAY 29, 1961 NO. 44 Monument Valley Hospital Dedication On May 4 the doors of opportunity swung open still wider for the church's service to the Navajos. A new twenty-three-bed hospital was dedicated at the Rock Gate entrance to Monument Valley. This event fulfilled a dream that the members of the Pacific Union Conference have had for many years, and your sacrifices and liberal giving have made this possible. The work was pioneered nearly twelve, years ago by Elder and Mrs. Marvin Walter on the ground made available by' Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gould- ing of the nearby Goulding Trading Post. The Mission Trailer began and expanded as the confidence of the Navajo people was gained. Building on this beginning those who have followed have developed a school, clinic, welfare center, new chapel, and now a new hospital. Indians from miles around who arrived by horseback, wagon, truck, and on foot joined with a number of our Adventist believers, members of the Hospital Board, and many visitors in dedicating this hospital. This new institution is the only hospital within a radius of One hundred miles. Participating in the dedication were Elder Carl Sundin, General Conference (Continued on page 2) Tom Holiday, new Bible instructor and translator for Monument Valley Mission, giving a Bible presentation to his brother, Kenneth Holiday. Oakwood College The annual offering for Oakwood College is to be taken in every Seventh- day Adventist church in North Amer- ica on June 10, 1961. We hope it will be a liberal offering because the needs of Oakwood are many. A major need at the present time is for more dormi- tory housing. I have recently returned from a Board Meeting at Oakwood College. This is a fine school. I believe the test of any school is the product, and I am proud of the graduates of Oakwood College.
