Fortunately for the Adventist Develop- ment and Relief Agency (ADRA), the volunteers at the Portland, Ore., Advent- ist Community Center don't seem to mind long hours of work. They, and thousands like them across North America, donate thousands of hours to sort and fold the tons of clothing collected by the center to be given to ADRA. Through dedication such as theirs, the North Pacific Union Conference in the year from April 1986 to March 1987, shipped more than 630,000 pounds of clothing to ADRA's west coast warehouse. The largest contributions came from the Oregon Con- ference with donations in excess of 177,000 pounds! All told the Union donated enough to clothe more than 250,000 people! Dividing the clothes into children's, women's, and men's winter and summer wear, the volunteers pack the clothes in boxes. The boxes are then picked up and taken to the union warehouse where the Lee Grady, director for Material Resources, shows the store of baled clothes ready for shipment when needed. collections from all the conferences in the union are stored.

"Sabbath School'. means "World Mission"!

For 110 years the Sabbath School has inspired men and women Ottib' "to go" and "to give." The lives of those who chose "to go" and plant the third angel's message were filled with adventure, bravery, emotion, and faith. The idea behind the HALL of FAITH is to tell their stories. The Pacific Press and Mission Spotlight have joined talents in the development of 24 stories in the form of books and audio-visual programs. Persons selected for this distinction are those whose lives demonstrated unusual faith. An honor plaque for each is hung in the Mission Spotlight HALL of FAITH. The art piece for each plaque is reproduced into posters, collector's cards—and, used for the book cover. The tribute honors people like J. N. Andrews, 0. E. Davis, Anna Knight, Dr. Harry Miller—the list goes on! Their stories have price- less value: they instill future goals, they rebuild childhood dreams, they provide a deep respect for the roots of this church. "The whole purpose," say the producers, "is to rekindle the fire of the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the hearts of our young people. Our generation has an obligation to tell these stories! And, to keep on telling them! After we are gone, who will tell?"
