The farmer and his wife had for years wanted to keep the seventh-day Sabbath, but knowing no one who did, they were not quite sure who was right—they or the multitude. And so they had been waiting, waiting, waiting! waiting for the gospel workers to come and sow their seed. Today they are earnest Christians and charter members of a small country church they are helping to build.

Three military policemen were there to meet us and escort us to our parking place. We then boarded a "mule train"—a large open-air semi with seats attached. As we traveled through the base our guide explained the different features and answered our many questions. We were eventually escorted to the restricted area and given a close up of the famous B-36, the largest military airplane. Eventually we assembled in the briefing room. Here the purpose and functions of the Travis Air Base were explained, and more questions were answered. Our guide, Tech. Sgt. Lee Elms, then directed us to a C-97 transport plane, com- parable in size to the famous B-29. The captain of this ship took us entirely through his plane and explained its various features to us.

Would you have reasoned in the manner as penned above had you been placed in a similar situation, or would you have done what one of our juniors did? Part of the scene I have related is not hypothetical, but actually happened to one of our girls in the Ontario-Quebec Con- ference. Many of us were thrilled last year as we read one of the Senior Reading Course books entitled Scottish Heroes, stories of faithful young people who would rather die than compromise on one point of faith. The day of heroes has not passed! Violet Allison, a junior in our Toronto Seventh-day Adventist church, is one of our modern twentieth-century heroines of Canada. Of course the first part of her experience came as a crushing blow to her, but being a child of God she left everything in His hands. Suddenly the hard work and high hopes of many months crumbled in dust at her feet when she was told that unless she appeared at the concert on Friday night, she would lose the two-hundred-dollar scholarship. But God had not forsaken or forgotten this faithful junior, for He had some- thing even better for Violet. I will share Photo Courtesy of Toronto Globe and Mail a portion of her letter with you: "I won in two classes last Monday, and when I Violet Allison, Who Discovered Suddenly That the Concert in Which She Was to Play Was Scheduled for Friday Evening played in the Mozart and Haydn sonatas class on Friday, another girl and I were chosen to compete in the finals that night.

The binoculars revealed a yellow Two and a ANOE cap and a black body. Our little "jack- hammer" was the arctic three-toed wood- pecker—a real find. We were so excited we almost lost our footing trying to get nearer. Evidently the bird saw our plight and enjoyed our admiration, for he (or she) obligingly moved so close to us that we put our binoculars away and got ac- quainted. For nearly fifteen minutes we watched the bark fly as the energetic bird hunted insects and deposited them down the throat of its baby, who was clamoring for a meal and a toehold on the same tree trunk. An Eastern kingbird, a palm and a Wilson's warbler, a cedar and a Bohemian waxwing—all tried to steal the show, but the arctic three-toed kept on pounding. We were captivated.

His primary concern, however, was not the state of her physical or spiritual health, but the fact that the Sunday school very much needed her talents and services. His heretofore loyal parishioner could not but discern the minister's cold and unsympa- thetic spirit, and when he failed to pay her another visit during the long period of convalescence, she resolved never again to attend his church, or any other church for that matter. For three years the family stayed away from church, and Bible read- ing and prayer were relegated to the hoary past and all but forgotten. This memorable winter evening though, something happened that was destined to change the religious indifference and cal- lousness of at least two members of the family.

Allen and Helen were the oldest of a family of six, and they were always getting into mischief of some kind around the ranch. It was a beautiful afternoon. The sky was a clear blue, with a few lazy clouds floating about. The Mallett ranch was situated in a pretty little valley with a river close by and a few hills around, which the children liked to climb.
