North Pacific Union SEPTEMBER 3 1965 VOL. 60, NO. 35 COLLEGE PLACE WASHINGTON TV's ORION COORDINATES WITH "IT IS WRITTEN" NEW LOOK Throughout the entire Upper Columbia Confer- at LIFE ence, September 11 and 12, 1965 are very important days. On September 11 virtually the entire constit- uency of the whole Upper Columbia Conference is launching what is known as "Penetration Day" as a forerunner to the first telecast of "It Is Written" GEORGE which will begin on Sunday, September 12. We will be distributing printed announcements throughout the entire area inviting our friends and neighbors to tune VANDEMAN in to this new series. Those who view the telecast will be offered a free book through the mail if they respond by sending in a past card to Box 244, Spokane, Washington, or by in writ/ern phoning the suggested number in their area. When this book is sent to the interested viewer an opportun- ity to enroll in a Bible study program will be included. SEPTEMBER 12—Stairs Into Space When we receive word back that the viewer would like to enter into a Bible study program, our laymen, under SEPTEMBER 19—Tyranny of the Crowd the direction of the local church lay activities director and pastor, will follow through, and under the blessing SEPTEMBER 26—Captain Bligh's Bible of God, win that soul for Christ. We believe that since the "It Is Written" program OCTOBER 3—God and the Cities will be continuous for 39 weeks our laymen will have great advantage as we personally follow through on these interested viewers. The telecast alone is not KHQ-TV Spokane Channel 6 10:00 A.M. enough—there must be that personal touch. "Oper- KIMA-TV Yakima Channel 29 4:30 P.M. ation Orion" and "It Is Written" under the blessing of Gad thus has a tremendous potential. In proportion KNDU-TV Richland Channel 25 10:00 A.M. to the enthusiasm and dedication of church members KNDU-TV Yakima Channel 23 10:00 A.M. will results be seen. KEPR-TV Pasco Channel 19 4:30 P.M. A word of caution is in order at this point. These KLEW-TV Lewiston Channel 3 4:30 P.M. television offers for free books, et cetera, are for non- Seventh-day Adventist members. I am sure all of us can appreciate the tremendous expense involved in making offers such as this and our purpose is to gather in interested non-members' names and then follow through. We appreciate your cooperation on this matter. Please do not call or write in for somebody else even though they ore your relatives or friends. We are desirous that these interests be genuine, in that they have sent or called in the request personally. We are well aware that all we do will amount to nothing without the Lord's blessing. Therefore, we recommend that between the hour of 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. each day for the next 39 weeks, each of us in our way, whenever we are, would just offer up a silent petition or in family worship pray to God for the suc- cess of this large endeavor and that He will use us individually in answering that prayer.
