The First Three Call the Sabbath a JULY 2L 1953 WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS

FEATURES Beginning with the July 7 is- sue, THE YOUTH'S INSTRUCTOR has been carry- ing reports on the Pan-American Youth Congress held in San Francisco June 16-20. Mr. Yost's report in this issue carries the congress story through the Thursday and Fri- day meetings, and next week will bring an account of the Friday night and Sabbath services. Our four July reports will be fol- lowed in August and September by a chain of feature stories, written for the most part while the congress was in session. Nearly two- score INSTRUCTOR authors will provide first- hand reports on such features as the Morning Watch service, the career clinic, communica- tions, exhibits, workshops, publicity, music, the Pathfinders on parade, and modes of travel to the congress. All major talks and sermons will appear in forthcoming issues.

In the first set on the 4 left, Freda Sloat played the part of a young woman who was trying to convince her fiance (played by Charlie Moran) that he should join her church. Next was the set where the quartet sang and other parts were enacted. The third set consisted of a bedroom scene. Here George Anderson and Roy Branson tussled on the bed wait- ing for older brother Jim (Charlie Moran) to take them fishing. The pastor's study was the fourth set. The young people were all delegates from the Greater New York Conference. During the preliminaries most of the audience thought that the telecast had actu- ally begun, and a fearful silence fell over the auditorium when someone stumbled over his lines or the quartet stopped in the middle of their song. Realizing the effect this was having, E. R. Walde, of the Gen- eral Conference Radio Department, pricked the emotional bubble by explain- ing that we were not yet on the air! The telecast itself was a demonstration of efficiency and smoothness. Every line, every movement, contributed something to the theme of the program. And we all felt proud of Pastor and Mrs. Fagal, the quar- tet, and everyone who took part, for we could see that here is a telecast produced entirely by Seventh-day Adventists and that it is a real credit to our denomination. The afternoon programs throughout the week, taken by themselves, would virtually have been a complete congress. On Wednesday we were invited to the career clinic, with Theodore Lucas as chairman. Five areas of lifework—the social studies, the arts, the sciences, the vocations, and communications—were represented respec- tively by Paul Heubach, dean of theology at Walla Walla College; Virginia-Gene Shankel Rittenhouse, former music teacher at Atlantic Union College, now on her way with her husband to Malamulo Mission in Africa; Dr. Bruce Halstead, ichthy- ologist and herpetologist at the College of Medical Evangelists School of Tropical and Preventive Medicine; Richard Larsen, principal of Sunnydale Academy; and Mil- ton Murray, coordinator of public relations for CME. This panel suggested by precept and example occupations not necessarily con- nected with organized church work; they pictured the great need in certain fields and then they introduced young people who are now actually engaged in these areas of lifework. Then followed a symposium presenta- tion of the items of the MV Legion of Honor, under the direction of L. A. Skin- ner: "I Will Honor Christ in That Which I Choose to Behold," by Elizabeth Dolan, of Atlantic Union College; "In That to From Top to Bottom: The Singing of America's National Anthem Introduced Thursday Nigfit's Which I Choose to Listen," by Juan "Salute to Servicemen."

But it is a place too where one may learn a great many things. Sophistication is shed here. The veneer is pierced, and peels off in a closed-in little world where all sorts of people must associate. Troubles and festering skeletons come out of their closets, and still there are respect and friendship. One has here an ample opportunity to study people and the effect of mental illness, with all of its warped, twisted thinking. After two years of observance I believe with all my heart that anyone whose thoughts are not brought into the captivity of God is suffering from a form of mental ill-health. Sin is sickness of the soul, and though all who suffer from it may not end up in a mental institution, still the Chris- tian must certainly realize, after working in one, how much sin has had to do with filling these places with suffering hu- manity.

' Surely here was a challenge to him! More than once during the past week these words had passed through his mind as he had passed the potter's house in the village of Yallanka. Now this Sabbath morning's reading of Jeremiah came as a fresh challenge to him. Yes, he decided, he would go to the village to visit the potter's house. Maybe the Lord would speak to him as he had to Jeremiah of old. Down the hot dusty road he found the potter already plying his trade. Already the big wheel was spinning fast, and the potter was busy molding a lump of clay into the shape of one of those beautiful oriental vases he had on display on a shelf outside the house.

This watchman is always situated high on a rock or dirt parapet above an opening to a dugout. His job is solely that of warning. I thought at one time I had mastered the code, and began whistling like the watchman, but my percentage was low.

There is nothing special about Saturday. You would find that out if you would do something ordinary on Saturday sometime." "Am I an Adventist just because I was brought up that way?" Alice asked herself that question over and over again. She decided that Howard might be partly right at least, but still she loved the hush that seemed to settle over everything and fill her soul with radiance as the Sabbath drew on. That week had been a strenuous one, and Alice was tired to the bone. The utter hopelessness of her mother's condition was very wearing as she tried to relieve the sufferer, but Alice—as well as the doctors and others—marveled at the courage and cheer of the invalid. Just after dinner on that Sabbath, Mrs. Lang rang the door- bell and had already let herself in when Alice went to answer it. Mrs. Lang was a nurse, and busy all week long, but she often ran in on Sabbath to see how the sick woman was. She had left her rubbers on

When I hear of tribes in far-off Africa or Ethiopia coming to our missionaries pleading for workers to bring the gospel to their people, I feel like adding my plea to theirs; for I know that in the cities and towns of our own country there are count- less thousands who, like me just a short time ago, have not yet heard the third angel's message. The most impenetrable jungle across the seas presents no more of a challenge than the hedge of philos- ophies and intellectual self-sufficiencies that surround many of our neighbors. Perhaps because of my own experience I am convinced that there is no better way of sowing the seeds of truth in hungry hearts than through the medical work. Being ill can be a most humbling experi- ence, making one feel like a child again, dependent and helpless, and ready to lean on the tenderness and power of a loving God. Sometimes it is only through such difficult experiences that the Lord can make us take time out of the whirl of daily activities to be quiet enough to hear the still small voice.
