The other activities were great, too. A rock cliff provided the drop-off for rappeling. There was a Western Village with a real log cabin and demonstration of pioneer life. The Indian village had tepees and a genuine Indian in costume to tell us stories. The Wagon Camp program was interrupted by "Indians" with water pistols. (Yes, they got us wet!) The Wilderness Sanctuary was built life-size by people from Maranatha. It had all the furniture and people dressed like priests to tell us about it. An actual sheep had been sacrificed. That made quite an impression on me; to think of killing a lamb when I sin! It helped me realize that Jesus is my Lamb. There was a bike course, a games area, a team challenge, a handicap awareness trail, a "John Hancock Trail" to the top of a bluff—and I can't remember what all else. The trips to the activities off the grounds were fun, too. We wished we could go to all of them, of course, but there just weren't enough days. We did go to Leadville for their "Boom Days" (like a fair, in their mining town, with burro races and all kinds of booths), to the Cooper Mountain Ski Area (where we

BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF THE FIRST-EVER NORTH AMERICAN DIVISION PATHFINDER CAMPOREE

Dear Heidi, How I wish you could have come with us to Camp Hale! It was a trip I will never forget as long as I live. Something to tell my grandkids about, I guess. The trip out there was tough. Try riding 2,300 miles in a school bus! But when we finally came over the last pass in those beautiful Colorado moutains and looked out over that valley, wow! The tents were spread out almost the whole length of the three-mile valley. Huge striped tents were for headquarters, ex- hibits, medical, food, store, et cetera. There were tents of every Corrie and Lonna Whitney, mother and daughter. Corrie is the color, shape, and size for the campers. It almost took my breath communication director for the Brunswick, Maine, church. She away there were so many! I began to realize a little more what assisted her daughter in writing the letter of the camporee to her the Children of Israel's camp must have looked like when they friend, Heidi. traveled to Caanan. Poor Moses! We set up our camp in the Northern New England section of the Atlantic Union's space. We were on the north edge of the camp, so we got our exercise going anywhere! A gigantic banner of rainbow colors marked the entrance to our union area. It was not only pretty, but also it helped us to find our way back to our part of camp after we'd been out for activities. Talking about activities! There were simply more things to do than we had time for. We packed in a lot, though! Our union leaders had made a super obstacle course. It was one of the two activities I liked best. There were all kinds of things to challenge us there from a rope swing over a creek to a high tower to glide down, suspended from a rope by a pulley with handles. It felt like f-l-y-i-n-g! My next favorite activity on the campground was the Mining Village. Whew! Somebody put a lot of work into that! There were stores with wooden fronts, a miner's cabin with a live burro beside it, a place to pan gold, an antique miner's train, and a crosscut saw where two of us could see how fast we could saw a log. The helpers were dressed in costume. It was fun to watch the real blacksmith at work, to talk to a man in the Wainwright Shop who restores old wagons, to examine the antiques in the Mercantile, gaze at the real gold, silver, and precious stones in the Assay Office, and sip sarsaparilla (like root beer) and listen to the player piano.

Elbert (highest in Colorado), a trip to hot springs, white-water rafting, and trips to the Air Force Academy and to Denver. Back at camp there were all the exhibits, besides the activities I told you about, and honors to earn and things to buy. But the neatest of all was the people! I guess I never realized there were so many Pathfinders in the whole world! (And, of course, that wasn't even all the ones just from North America!) I met kids from California, Bermuda, Arizona and Florida; from Mississippi and Illinois, from Texas and Wyoming; from everywhere, it seemed! I found kids I'd known when I was little, in the South, and kids from my grand- ma's town in Washington state. Heidi, you'd have loved it! So MANY kids to meet! I even got to meet some of my mom's friends that I've heard about for years. Mom says that when I'm an adult, helping with was with her when she found Jeri and Vicki. You should have Pathfinders, maybe I can see you, like she did her friends there! I seen them! They hugged and cried and talked a blue streak— just like you and I will do when you get home at the end of the summer! I guess the adults thought that the people were the neatest part of Camporee, too. Oh, Heidi! There's so much to remember! I haven't even told you yet about the programs they had in the big field, with one of the Olympic "Diamond Vision" screens in front so everyone, even way at the back, could see. Those programs were super! I could write pages about just them. I think we all liked the laser light programs the best. Especially the one on creation. That one and the candlelight consecration program were the two our club liked most. There were bands and speakers—including Jesse Jackson and the Bill Cosby kids—there were gymnastic teams and skits. Even an air show over the valley on Sunday, and a wrestling bear. And, oh, so much more! But Sabbath was the best day of all. Everyone was in uniform. We marched to church like ants from a dozen anthills converg- ing on the arena. It made me feel all tingly to be part of that crowd of about 18,000 people, all headed for the same church service, all loving the same Lord, and all part of the best youth club in the world. I can't describe how it was, with the sound of so many marching feet, the music of the different clubs' drum and bugle corps, even our drum and bagpipes! The wind was snapping all the hundreds of flags and banners. Our Pathfinder leaders stood there in their uniforms watching us all assemble. I don't think I was the only tingly one. It was awesome! I saw adults with tears in their eyes. They said what adults usually say, but it really seemed true this time: we are the future of the church; we are the ones to march on into the Kingdom. Over 290 people were invested as Master Guides before church began. So many youth leaders promising to give their time to lead us! And church was just for us! The Children's Church Team from Pacific Union College had a skit showing the meaning of the sermon that Roger Bothwell preached. There's so much more to tell you! But when you get back, I'll dig out my pictures and we can talk for hours. It's all over now, but, believe me, no way will I ever forget! It was worth all the work to earn money, all the long hours on the bus, all the times we were almost too tired to move. And if they have another big Camporee in four years, I want to go! They said at Camp Hale that they want to have one at Banff, Canada. Maybe you and I can both be Pathfinder counselors and have our units camp together! Hurry back so I can tell you more!

The daily flag-raising and -lowering ceremonies play an important part during any camporee. However, at a camporee the magnitude of Camp Hale, Colorado, they are even more impressive. The flag ceremony at Camp Hale was one of coordination and beauty. At a given time a cannon was fired and, as the cannon roar echoed throughout the valley, six flags in front of the headquarters tent along with each of the nine union flags and a number of conference flags all were raised or lowered simultaneously. With Bermuda being part of the Atlantic Union we had the privilege of having two flag poles in our area. Each morning and evening a color guard was provided for each of the flags and also one for the headquarters area. The guards were chosen on a rotating basis from the conferences. Our pathfinders in full-dress uniform and performing sharp, snappy maneuvers added much to this impressive ceremony and made one proud to be a patriotic Christian pathfinder.

October 8, 1985, Vol. LXXXIV, No. 19 9 Atlantic Union NAD Pathfinder Camporee Exhibit By Margaret Aides

Because of the richness of our historical heritage, "SDA Pathfinders," was the theme selected for the Atlantic Union Ex- hibit at the NAD Pathfinder Camporee recently held at Camp Hale, Colorado. The forty-foot booth featured a nature scene, automated film presentations, carrousel, historical replicas and life-size pioneers. The central exhibit was a section of a large tree, about four feet in diameter, its growth rings accented and labeled at ap- propriate intervals with significant events in the development of our church. It was surrounded with a forest floor. The realistic animals in their natural habitat seemed to enjoy performing for a pathfinder who was sitting on a nearby stump photographing the whole scene. A large background mural depicting the autumn glory of a New England forest complemented the natural environment. On each side of the mural, models of Ellen and James White stood complete in costumes of their day. They blended into the background of a gallery of portraits of the "Pathfinders" of the SDA movement. The prominence given to this display left no doubt that it was J. N. Andrews, Joseph Bates, Hiram Edson, the Whites and others that we sought to honor.

To the left of the center section was a handmade replica of Ft. Stanwix in Rome, New York, with a life-size model of young William Miller in an authentic military uniform. He stood by a Colonial American flag, handcrafted and hung on the background partition. Balancing to the right was a large labeled map of the Atlantic Union and Dukane projectors continuously playing four different historical film strips. These were profes-

To add interest there was a detailed model of the ancient wilderness sanctuary, first edition volumes of early SDA publica- tions, a framed temperance pledge bearing the signature of J. H. Kellogg, pictures of early churches, and other memorabilia. In addition to the main display already described, a revolving carrousel with four cubicles portrayed a developing church outreach in the publishing work, foreign missions, the medical and education work, and youth ministry culminating in our present-day Pathfinder organization. Of particular interest, were

models of the mission ship "Pitcairn" and an early manual print- ing press. As a finishing exercise, a quiz box on early church history complete with switches and lights tested the comprehen- sion and retention of the thousands who enjoyed our display. The spirit of our presentation was accurately reflected in the following words inscribed on a shield prominently displayed at the focal point of our booth:

October 8, 1985, Vol. LXXXIV, No. 19 11 our plans. We decided to go with the Concord Bridge theme. I had talked with Mary Goodrich, a graduate in art from AUC, about building a minuteman statue. She said she would. Later she gave the task to her mother, an art teacher in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. We learned that the State of Colorado wanted detailed drawings of all activities. I then sat down and drew up detailed drawings of the team challenge course. Since many of the materials were the same, I ordered and obtained the materials needed for both courses and some of the materials for the entrance and the base of the statue. Because of my unique position of working for the college and working for the other two institutions, I more or less agreed to get all the materials. I spoke to Jessica Queen of Lancaster, Massachusetts, about our bridge decoration and she volunteered, with elderly ladies from Bigelow Gardens, to make three British and three American soldier costumes for our bridge. She purchased the material and scrounged around at the Community Service Center for old clothing to make up the costumes. We made many telephone calls to stores all over New England, New York City, and New York State to locate manikins, but we could find only one and that belonged to a private person. We used the Smoking Sams from the conferences and the Union for the rest of the soldiers because manikins are very expensive and no one would lend them. We made signs to indicate surrounding towns and to name the bridge and the river that we were designing.

The Atlantic Union was the first to submit blueprints as re- quired by the state of Colorado and they were used as models for all the other Unions to follow. In February we bought over 11/2 miles of various thicknesses of rope from Spags. February is their rope sale for the year so we decided to purchase all of our rope at that time. I also ordered all the nuts and bolts directly from a factory in Worcester because the sizes we needed had to be special ordered and were not available in local stores. Also, because I was working for Atlantic Union College we were able to receive a discount on total cost. My garage began to fill up as I gathered materials for the various projects for Colorado. In January I contacted two men who were in the area that work with Maranatha International to help us build the two courses. At first they agreed. When spring came, they backed out. Then someone else, but his vacation plans changed. I could see that I was going to be left constructing these courses. I had first planned to spend four weeks of my vacation at Camp Hale, but I needed to have an extra week to be able to build the courses. The one extra week was during Southern New England camp meeting week and the college cafeteria is very busy at this time feeding the campers and I knew it would be an extra burden on my workers in the cafeteria. So I approached them and asked them to head things up for me while I was away and they agreed and told me to go ahead. I had saved holiday time to cover the extra week and I used that for traveling west. In the end, after much searching and telephoning, I found Mr. Waldo Burdette, an 81-year-old man from Lancaster, who had expertise in carpentry. He helped us drill holes and cut many boards and stakes needed for constructing the courses. My younger son, David Livergood, came out with me. Lloyd Scharffenberg volunteered, Michael Garcia from New York City Team challenge course construction. (a student at AUC) volunteered to come west to help me, and

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN JUNIOR CAMP AND PATHFINDER CAMPOREE By Leon H. Davis, Youth Director Atlantic Union

In the operation of conference-sponsored junior youth camps, the conference youth director is the legal representative for the church in implementing church and state health and safety laws. The housing, staff, foods, programming, safety and management are supplied and regulated through the director. Church pathfinder clubs are uniformed and self- sufficient. Under the direction of the church-appointed club director, they camp out, drill, and are taught honors, skills, nature, Bible doctrine, witnessing, et cetera. When attending conference, union, or division pathfinder camporees, the church club, though self- sufficient, follows a planned schedule detailed by the higher organization and program committees. Leon H. Davis, Union youth director, congratulates Mr. Henry Livergood after giving him a Camp Hale jacket.

This has Ithaca Juniors Lead Out When it comes to involvement, the Juniors of the Ithaca Seventh-day Adventist Church believe in taking an active part. Several class members recently spoke to their teacher, Mrs. Melinda Spielman, about taking lessons with the pastor to prepare for baptism. And that was just the start of things. At a recent prayer meeting, one of the Juniors, Steven Campbell, Jr., raised his hand and posed an interesting question: John Smith and Florence Brown taking "What do you think of guys our age Steven Campbell, Jr. speaks on prin- inventory of a rack of dresses. preaching?"

"He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him" (Psalm 91:15). Ann, with her three young children; Dolores, a friend, and I were in New York City. We were trying to find the doctor's office for one of the children who needed medical attention. Being strangers in a strange city, we wandered back and forth on the subway. It seemed everyone we asked for directions told us something different. Silently I prayed, "0 Lord, send someone to help us." When I opened my eyes, there before us was a nice looking black man; something about him impressed me so I suggested to my friends, "Let's ask this young man to help us." "But we've asked too many," said Ann. "I know, but I just feel impressed that he is different." We went up and asked him if he'd help us find the doctor's office. Smiling broadly he said he'd take us there himself, which he did. When we came out, he was there to take us back to our car. "As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me" (Psalm 55:16). Peter Spielman preaches on the second Beverly Meacham coming.
