  • The White City by Miles Clements the RUINS of the Echo Mountain
    The White City by Miles Clements THE RUINS of the Echo Mountain House appear like a low-budget Machu Picchu wrapped in smog, like a run-down Hollywood stand-in for some lost civilization. The building’s stone base, now crumbling into the mountain’s topsoil, traces the outline of the spot where the elaborate Victorian hotel once stood. In place of its seventy grand rooms are patches of overgrown chaparral and a pair of scorched pines. Sagebrush lizards dash through what was once the ornate lobby while a bluebird flies circles in the sky. At the site of the ruined structure, day hikers come and go. Some sit on the remaining tracks of the Mount Lowe Railway, taking in the obscured vistas of the Los Angeles basin and the San Gabriel Valley. Others, more intent on exploration, head to the strategically placed “Echophones” and shout into the megaphone-like devices, waiting for their voices to careen off the canyon walls. As the hikers’ yells slowly fade into the mountainside, a family of six ascends the granite staircase leading to the Echo Mountain House. They mill about the former chateau, taking pictures and eating granola bars. But after about fifteen minutes and a few swigs of water, the mother, donning a green Nike sweatshirt, corrals the family back into a small cluster. Walking past graffiti-covered plaques and huge, rusting railroad equipment, they head down the mountain and pack into their minivan, leaving their brief contact with the Echo Mountain House behind, surely taking only a few scant memories with them on their way back to the stucco houses and well-maintained lawns of Los Angeles’ suburbs.

  • Greg Williams
    Greg Williams Greg Williams (pictured at right with his wife Susan) is GCI Vice President, Director of GCI-USA Church Administration and Development (CAD), and Superintendent of U.S. Ministers. Along with the rest of his family, Greg became part of WCG/GCI in the mid-1970s. “My father was afflicted with an arthritic condition that landed him in bed for a year. He was serving as a lay pastor with a small Advent Christian Church at the time. After completing the WCG Bible Correspondence Course , he led my family into WCG.” Greg was a junior in high school when he and his family began attending WCG. “I joined in WCG’s Youth Opportunity United (YOU) activities. Through YOU I participated in two national track meets at the Ambassador College campuses in Pasadena, California and Big Sandy, Texas.” After attending a YOU leadership conference in Pasadena, Greg was offered a YOU scholarship to attend Ambassador College. He attended beginning in 1979. During the summer between his junior and senior years at AC, Greg was selected to be a ministerial trainee in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. “I had a fabulous experience working alongside four pastors who poured into my life in various ways. As a result, the sense of calling to pastoral ministry was planted in my heart and mind.” Greg met his wife Susan (Lang) at AC and they were married in 1984. At the time, Greg was working at Imperial High School teaching history and physical education. “We attended the Glendora congregation while I worked at Imperial and then in May 1985 I was hired as a full-time ministerial trainee, working initially with Doug Horchak and then Dennis Wheatcroft in the Glendora congregation.” In 1987, shortly after the birth of their twin sons, Glenn and Garrett, the Williams’ family moved to Denver, Colorado, where Greg served as associate pastor until 1991.

But even more, this Work and the seol with thelittlechild,the lion and the Iamb, show the happy, peaceful conditions on this earth in the world tomorrow, as the scripture from Isaiah portrays. AMBASSADOR COLLEGE PRESS Pasadena, California The Inside Story of The WORLD TOMORROW Broadcast by RODERICK C. MEREDITH Copyright © 1963 by Ambassador College All Rights Reserved ttNc. MAN EVER SPOKE likethis man," reported their officers to the Pharisees regarding Jesus. The multitudes "were astonished at His doctrine." Today the same living Christ, through The WORLD TOMOR- ROW broadcast, The PLAIN TRUTH magazine, and THIS WORK, proclaims in mighty power around the world His SAME GOSPEL the same Gospel preached by Peter, Paul, and the original Apostles. Twenty-two million people hear this dynamic Message every week, on every inhabited continent of the earth. And today, just as 1900 years ago, multitudes are ASTONISHED at His doctrine, and say: "No man ever spoke like this!" It is as shockingly different today as it was then. WHY should that be? Every week thousands hear this astonishing Message for the first time. And so itis natural that many begin to ask: "WHO IS THIS? Who isbehind this Work? Who sponsors it? HOW can such a powerful program go out over the air world-wide, without ever making an appeal for public financial support? WHY do they never beg for contributions? HOW can they publish such an attrac- tive,interesting news magazine and never charge asubscription price or accept any advertising?" One man said, incredulously, "It's a mystery to me-I simply can't understand it! Nobody ever did anything like it before-and yet this Work keeps growing and multiplying in power and scope." It's no secret.

  • March 93 Second Section
    Second Section Member Charles G. Seims writes; I enjoyed Ralph Cantos' article on trolleys in Hollywood motion pictures. While Ralph dealt mainly with short comedies, I’d like to point out that there are many traction scenes in the early full length features, and due to the proliferation of cable TV channels such as TNT and AMC, films are being shown that have not been out of the can for fifty years or more. Worthy of mention are the following three “traction classics” because they have all been on American Movie Classics in the last few months and are likely to be repeated: CAUGHT PLASTERED, Wheeler & Woolsey (1931)-- The stars are a vaudeville comedy team that are usually hilarious in a corny sort of way. In this early talkie they befriend an old lady and save her drugstore from being taken over by bootlegging gangsters. A fun plot and a long sequence shot inside an LARy car on West Pico Boulevard makes this a film to stay up late for. MUSIC IS MAGIC, Alice Faye, (1935)--There’s only one thing to recommend this turkey of a musical-- one of many coming-to-Hollywood films of the thirties. Alice Faye turns in her usual lackluster performance, and unfortunately there’s not a memorable song in the whole film. Comic relief, such as it is, is provided by the team of Mitchell and Durant (I don’t know if this is a play on the names of the General Motors’ executives). When they can’t get a job in motion pictures (not surprising given their obvious lack of talent) the boys take a job with the Pacific Electric, and naturally make a mess of things.
