PONTIAC IS PROUD OF WELFARE SERVICES There Elder Crowe will serve as pastor of the Pueblo church, nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The Chicago Heights church, which Pastor Crowe cared for during the past few years, will greatly miss his services. During his leadership at this church several members have been baptized. Indebtedness has been paid off, and the building has been brought into confor- mity with the city codes. Church members are confi- dent, however, that the Crowes are following the leading of God in answering this call.

Although they are meeting in rented quarters, the Pontiac Health and Welfare Society and the Society of Adventist Men are conducting a dynamic program.

The Dorcas society of the Van Dyke church has assisted me by providing me with some clothes and glasses, which are greatly appreciated.

July 22, 1969, Vol. LXI, No. 28 11 Kroncke Reports to Pioneer Memorial Board At the June meeting of the Pioneer Memorial church board council, Elder John A. Kroncke, pastor, reported the following encouraging indications of progress for this church, which serves Andrews University: for the first five months of 1969 baptisms totaled 41; tithe showed a gain of $13,852 over the same period last year. Church expense offerings also showed progress as $4,000 more was given this year than during the same period in 1968. A review of the past three years' figures shows a mem- bership gain of 276 and a gain in tithe of $172,000. Church membership now stands at 2,532, while last year's tithe figure was $575,000. Church leaders are praying and working that God can continue to bless this vital church at our university center and that its continued growth, strength, and spiritual influence will continue. VAN DYKE YOUNGSTERS INVESTED An important aspect of our elementary schools is that of the JMV classwork. The success of this phase of our educational program was manifested on the sixth of May, when 45 students of the Van Dyke church school were invested. Following a program in which the children gave a reci- tation of the requirements that were necessary to receive their scarves and pins, Elder Merrill Fleming from the Conference MV Department led out in the Investiture service. All the classes from Busy Bee to Guide were represented.

A highlight of anniversary day for the Berrien Springs church was the fellowship potluck picnic dinner held in the village park. Church members provided food for visitors and the church fur- nished drink for all.

THIRD ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED On Sabbath, May 24, members of the Berrien Springs church observed the third anniversary in their new church. The special program of the day featured Elder C. L. Paddock speaking at the worship hour. At 3:30 p.m. an investiture service was conducted by the village elementary school and Elder M. Y. Fleming, assistant MV secretary of the Michigan Conference. At 5 p.m. a publishing rally was held by Elder J. W. Proctor, publish- ing secretary of the Lake Union Conference. Featured speakers at the rally were Elders Arthur Maxwell and D. A. McAdams. U.P.

UNIVERSITY The theme of the entries was "Preserving the best of the past while promoting the best for the future." Many of the early pioneers in the Midwest arrived in covered wagons or schooners. The replica used by Andrews was built in 1958 by P. 0. Porter, a Berrien Springs resident, for the Buchanan centennial celebra- tion. It was restored for this year's appearance by Porter and Ben Nutt, grounds superintendent at A.U. The steamboat replica, prepared especially for the Ber- rien Springs parade by Andrews, was modeled after the May Graham, a steamer that plied the St. Joseph River from 1879 to 1906, carrying fruit, building supplies, and various kinds of merchandise.
