Picturesque scenes, lush vegetation, and a blend of the modern and the quaint provided ample diversion from the round of meetings during the four-day event. Today's optometrists are educated in the sciences of physics, optics, pharmacology, ocular anatomy, disease processes and detection, neurology, psychology, social sciences, and public health. While the four-year program of advanced studies may be entered after as few as two years of college study at an accedited institution, most optometry students have completed requirements for the bachelor's degree before entering opto- metrical training. But the contributions made by approximately 150 Seventh-day Adventists in this profession go

UNITED STATES — — — Of all the money given away in the United States last year, religion received 43 per cent. According to the 20th annual edition of Giving USA, religion received a total of 10.85 billion dollars. It headed the list of major philanthropic categories. Total giving in the U.S. reached a record 25.2 billion last year, up seven per cent over the previous year. Giving to religion had slipped from 49 per cent of all contributions in 1964 to 41 per cent in 1973.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — — — Another new approach to helping those who desire to quit smoking has been added to the Five-Day Plan. It is the Five-Day Plan for the Blind, reports Milo Sawvel, associate temperance director for the General Conference. Cooperatively prepared by the General Conference Temperance Department and the Christian Record Braille Foundation, Inc., the plan will provide a braille control booklet and loan of cassette or record.

NEW YORK CITY — — More than six million complete Bibles were distributed throughout the world during 1974. That's an increase of four per cent over the 1973 total, according to the American Bible Society. Total world Scripture distribution, including portions and selections, increased to a new high of 254 million copies, two per cent over the previous year. Twenty-three languages were added to those in which at least one book of the Bible has been published, bringing the total to 1,549.

UNITED STATES — — — Systematic benevolence has taken on new meaning for members of 10 denominations in five metropolitan areas. They are experimenting with bank-transfer offerings. Banks, with proper authorization, will make monthly or quarterly payments directly to religious institutions. BankAmericard or Master Charge may also be used for converting pledges. If the plan catches on in Philadelphia, Kansas City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and the Dallas/Fort Worth area, weekly "offering envelopes" may become a thing of the past. Churches taking part are the American Baptist, Christian, Episcopal, Brethren, Missouri Synod Lutheran, Presbyterian, Mormons, United Church of Christ, United Methodist, and United Presbyterian.

VIENNA, AUSTRIA — — — Church history was made here Thursday, July 10, when the Fifty-Second World Congress of the Seventh-day Adventist Church convened for the first time outside North America. Some 2,000 delegates from 150 countries were registered. However, the total attendance at the 10-day congress was expected to exceed 20,000. Admission by ticket to the 12,000-seat Stadthalle Convention Center was arranged to permit different guests to observe the session on the two weekends. The convention theme was "Now Is the Time," referring to the urgency of preparing for Christ's return. Robert H. Pierson, president of the world church organization, pointed out in his opening report that more than three-fourths of the membership lives outside North America. "We are a world church, not an American church," he declared. All business and reports were carried over the public address system in English and German, with five additional languages transmitted through individual transistor receivers.

Brother Gartman owned radio stations in Memphis, Tennessee, and other areas but felt the Lord wanted him to sell out and do something for Him—to help start the church in Fairhope. The first step was giving the land from the Gartman family-owned trailer park. The plot chosen for the church site was an ideal two- and-a-half acres located one-and-a-half miles north of Fairhope. In addition to the land, the Gartmans are giving 10 per cent off the top of their income from the trailer park as a continuing source of finance for the church. Church construction began next. A prefab structure was chosen. When the materials arrived the building was blacked in in four days. The interior of the church was custom-finished by church members and features quality hand-made lights, padded pews, and stained windows. The church plant is complete with a 100-seat sanctuary, three classrooms, kitchen, literature room, baptistery, and projection room, and is air-conditioned and carpeted—all for a $20,200 investment and that includes paving! In describing the building of the church and furn- ishings, Gartman recalls that prayer was offered at the beginning of each day asking for the help needed that n the Sermon on the Mount any way.

want to get into something with no blind alleys, no shackles to success." This is the thought that guided Clyde Harris. As he neared the age of 20, he began to reflect on what kind of work he wanted to do to earn a livelihood. Many things were considered but for one reason or another, they were rejected. Finally in 1913 in Milton, Oregon, Clyde, along with his brother, began the manufacture of packing boxes, primarily for apples. Their first employee was a 12-year-old boy who was paid 10 cents an hour. From this humble beginning lies a fantastic story of what a person can do in partnership with God. Near the end of 1914, Clyde and his wife of a few months, Mary, joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. They have been loyal, dedicated supporters ever since. by Herman E. Davis Weathering the storms of adversity and financial setbacks, progress and growth began to evolve. Photography by Charles Smith January 1, 1940, a new and enlarged plant began its operation in Pendleton, Oregon. In addition to packing boxes, they now added window sash, door frames, and lumber. Their employees increased from one 12-year-old boy to 200 adults. Almost by accident the company began to manu- facture furniture. Mary, it seems, wanted a certain kind of furniture that couldn't be bought at a local store. She had the furniture made at the plant.
