For the first time in eight years, North American church members will have an opportunity to help home projects in the 13th Sabbath Offering. Three varied projects will bene- fit from the offering to be received on June 24. They include an evan- gel:stic and educational center at Yellowknife in the Northwest Ter- ritories of Canada; a new boys' dormitory at Pine Forge Academy, Pine Forge, Pennsylvania; and industrial equipment at the Indian Mission School, Holbrook, Ari- zona.
James Barrett, industrial arts instructor for Pine Forge Academy, helps prepare one of his students for an up-coming examination. The exposed plumbing and the bare room Yellowknife Complex is typical of rooms now available at the academy. The Northwest Territories stretch an almost endless 2,000 miles along the north edge of the Canadian provinces. This is a vast territory with a small population. Capital of this area is Yellow- knife, a town of 7,000 population. Medical work began in the area in 1969 when Dr. Steven Tarangle, an Adventist physican from Edmonton, set up a practice in Yellowknife. That same year an Adventist pastor, Henry Bartsch, moved to Yellowknife. Sabbath school and church services soon outgrew the Bartsch living room and expanded into

There is a good reason for com- a bining all of these facilities into one structure. Lumber is scarce. Permafrost poses problems. Then, too, the building must be heated ten or eleven months of the year. It is more economical to erect a single building than several. * Your 13th Sabbath Offering will be e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d at Yellowknife I through a "Maranatha Interna- tional Fly-in" during June, 1973, reports Theda Kuester, a secretary for the Canadian Union Confer- ence. Fifteen to twenty planes are . expected to bring forty to fifty skilled artisians, carpenters, elec- tricians, plumbers—all donated labor—to give a real push to con- struction of the center. This new center will serve as the hub for an expanding work in the North country.
The desert will bloom if it has water. This well is more valuable than gold to the Pine Forge Dormitory school farm. Situated on a 575-acre tract of rolling, wooded hills in eastern Pennsylvania, the academy is one of two boarding schools for the church's black youth in North a America. The desperate need on this cam- pus is for a boys' dormitory. Pic- ture a 250-year-old building used as a way station on the under- ground railroad for slaves during the Civil War. Suffering from two a and a half centuries of aging and deterioration, this building is the present dormitory. As many as four boys crowd into one room with scarcely any place to study. Recognizing the great need, the Allegheny East and West conferences, which sup- port the school, have been rais- ing funds for the dormitory. A liberal 13th Sabbath Offering will give the extra boost needed so construction can begin.

MISSION 72 The story of God's love, His plan for men, has been told in churches, halls, school rooms, store fronts, and in small groups meeting in homes.
The spotless eternal life of Jesus has been offered for the frustration, the sin and the fears of men.
Preachers, people, whole churches have plead for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that the love of God might be shed abroad in the minds of men. And God heard and answered.
Men have responded. They came with hearts hungry for life, security, peace. Two hundred seventeen men, women, and young people, content to hold the nail scarred hand of Jesus, have followed Him through baptismal waters to a new life bright with hope and hap- piness.
