Two Union Conference Personnel Changes

American Union and the Caribbean Union. Since returning from the mission field in May, 1965, Elder Whitney has been in charge of the Advent- ist booth at the New York World's Fair. He will begin his work in the Columbia Union Conference in the latter part of October. Mrs. Whitney is a native of New Brunswick, Canada, and received her education in Massachusetts.

Edgar Bradley, Associate Auditor for the past three and a half years, was appointed Assistant Treasurer of the Columbia Union Conference and the Association. He has an ex- cellent background of service that will fit him well for his new post. He began his denominational work as Assistant Book and Bible House Manager of the Florida Conference. After three years in Florida he was called to the East Pennsylvania Con- ference as the Book and Bible House Manager, where he continued for nine years. In 1956 he became the Assistant Treasurer and Auditor of the Potomac Conference, a post he held until he was called to the Co- lumbia Union Conference in 1962. Elder King W. Whitney has ac- cepted a call to become the Asso- ciate Auditor. Born in South Port- land, Maine, he attended Pinetree Academy and Atlantic Union Col- What can you do with 62 cents?

Sabbath School Offerings— Meetings Held in Lynchburg How Much Is Enough? IT is a beautiful Sabbath morning. You have enjoyed the sparkling Sab- bath School program and are now ensconced in your favorite class. Then it happens—that brown en- velope starts its way down your pew. As you reach into your pocket, the words of Mrs. Jackson that so point- edly pictured the needs of the Cen- tral European Division flash across only to clash with Susan's plea for new shoes, or the oil bill now due, or that bald tire on the right rear— what will you give—a bill or change? Then, perhaps you wonder, "Did I give enough to meet the need of God's growing work?" Just how much is enough? How can we effectively measure our Sab- bath School missions giving? One thing is certain. A considerable change has taken place in the cost of groceries over the past few years. I recall watching the price of a box of raisins escalate from nine cents a Elder William Neptune, Elder Earnest D. Clark, and Elder Carl. Weis look over the card file, con- few years ago.
