t the annual South Atlantic Conference Workers' Meeting, held at the Atlanta Stadium Hotel January 9-11, to report on and thank God for the activities of the past year, it was learned that the con- certed efforts of spirit-filled evangelists and dedicated laymen resulted in the baptism of 1,985 precious souls. Although this total falls 15 short of the goal of 2,000 set at the beginning of 1977, the South Atlantic family is grateful for the way God has led and for the results.

From the east, the west, north, and south they came; ministers with cars filled with local church elders con- verged on Nosoca Pines Ranch to listen to plans for growth and progress prepared by the conference ad- ministration. The assembly of over 200 church leaders soon discov- ered that they had been brought together for more than consent.

M. D.

The focus was upon every individual's circle of influence. Gordon then explained the purpose of the 20-page growth and progress worksheet that had been handed to them. The pastors and elders were asked to take the forms to their church boards, and to present them as a challenge for some really creative planning. Leaders of each church department would be asked to meet with their committees to lay definite plans for the next two and three years. The local church board would then review and coordinate the plans. Finally the pastors would then return the finished worksheets to Gordon at one of three area ministerial meetings scheduled for the latter part of March. Just exactly what is in those worksheets? On page three of the document the churches are asked to con- sider three areas of planning:

t was in January, just before the first snow, that the ministers of South Central came to Nashville for their annual report and program. It was the greatest report in the 31-year history of South Central. More than 1,200 were baptized, 12 new churches organized, and $110,000 Ingathering with every church reporting its goal. Nine church buildings and three schools were under construction or remodel- ing, while four buildings were bought, making a total investment in buildings of some $4,468,000. Five laymen conducted tent efforts, raising up three new churches, and adding additional members to exist- ing churches. Five dark counties were lighted and real sacrifices have been made to get new buildings in these cities. The tithe totaled $1,700,000, or an increase of more C. E. Dudley (right) hon- than $225,000.

MADRID, SPAIN — — — Spanish Roman Catholic bishops have sharply criticized a proposed constitution that would establish a secular state for Spain. The constitution would guarantee religious freedom, no longer recognizing Catholicism as the state religion. A draft of the constitution has been submitted to the Spanish parliament for debate. Under the present constitution, the Spanish Catholic Church is heavily subsidized, with clergy being paid by the state and Catholic schools operating with full state aid. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — — — Perhaps to no one's surprise, evangelist Billy Graham is the choice of 30 religion writers and editors as the most influential person in American religious life today. Graham's name led the list of 10 persons chosen in the poll conducted by The Christian Century, an ecumenical weekly based in Chicago. Other influential figures, in the order which the poll ranked them, were: Christian historian Dr. Martin Marty; President Jimmy Carter; Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum of the American Jewish Committee; President of the University of Notre Dame Theodore Hesburgh; Evangelist Oral Roberts; Campus Crusade founder Bill Bright; Jesse Jackson; Anita Bryant; and William Thompson, stated clerk of the United Presbyterian Church and president of the National Council of Churches.

DECATUR, GEORGIA — -- — Membership in the Southern Union Conference registered a net increase of 4,073 during 1977, concluding the year at 86,168. South Atlantic narrowly edged Florida as the largest conference, with 17,993. Florida reported 17,985. Others, in order of size, are: Georgia-Cumberland, 15,475; South Central, 11,258; Carolina, 9,313; Kentucky-Tennessee, 8,427; Alabama-Mississippi, 5,717. TAKOMA PARK, MARYLAND — — — Members of one of the largest Seventh-day Adventist churches in the world have voted not to ordain women as local elders. Women pastors in the church are not ordained, but are titled "associates in pastoral care." However, women may Ibe ordained by a local congregation to serve as elders, if the local church desires to do so. In January members of the Sligo church in suburban Washington, D.C., voted three-to-two to elect and ordain women elders. But the church board had previously decided that only a two-thirds vote would effectively show that ordaining women would not be a divisive issue. Only a few Adventist congregations in North America have begun to ordain women elders. RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA Some church-related schools in North Carolina are headed for a showdown with Governor James Hunt. The governor says Christian academies must file reports with the State Board of Education and give competency tests to students. Some church-affiliated private schools have refused to submit reports to the board on the ground that such an action would violate the principle of church-state separation. The dispute is expected to go to the courts. WASHINGTON, D.C. — — -- Seventh-day Adventist World Service distributed over $6 million worth of relief shipments in 1977, a record high. Clothing, bedding, food, medical supplies and equipment, as well as other forms of specialized aid were sent to 33 countries. In addition to responding when disaster strikes, SAWS maintains long-range farming and housing projects in several countries. WASHINGTON, D.C. — — -- The 127-year-old general church paper of the Seventh-day Adventist Church underwent a name change in January. What has been known as The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald is now simply Adventist Review. Editors say the new, shorter name more accurately and conveniently describes the function of the journal. The old name harks back to the 1850's, when the magazine was heralding Sabbath observance to scattered Adventist believers.

TEN SOUTHERN MISSIONARY COLLEGE

Tuition Increase De-Escalated at SMC

Education— An Investment in Eternity

While education costs are soaring on college cam- puses across the United States, Southern Missionary College is minimizing its cost increases for the school year 1978-79. Because of its commitment to keep educa- tion costs at a minimum, SMC has de-escalated its tui- tion increase. Compared to some of our sister colleges throughout North America who are raising tuition costs Laurel Wells, Director of Student Finance from 9 to 12 per cent, SMC is raising its tuition only 7.9 per cent, from $89 to $96 per semester hour. This means totaled $675,045 for the past year.

A FIVE-DAY STOP SMOKING CLINIC was held January 29-February 2 by Carl Hartman and local physicians in the downtown Montgomery First Alabama Bank auditorium. Eighty smokers participated in the clinic which was co-sponsored by the American Cancer Society. • Members of the Jackson, Mississippi, Ladies Club and Community Services arranged 22 FRUIT AND FOOD BASKETS which were distributed to shut-in church members during S Thanksgiving. In addition, large boxes of groceries were given to non-church members. The Pathfinder Club was involved in passing out the food baskets.

Mrs. Shirley Knisbell of the Pensacola church sold unique Mexican flowers she created with coat hangers, yarn, and crepe paper. She sold these creations at a crafts show as her INVESTMENT PROJECT and exceeded her Investment goal. Mrs. Knisbell enjoys many arts and crafts including ceramics, macrame, making Christmas decorations, and tole painting. "It's great fun," she said, adding that she considered it a privilege to use such simple knowledge to do something and give it all to the Lord.

Pastor Marvin Hunt of the Salem, South Carolina, district has been successful in obtain- ing time on Seneca, South Carolina, radio station WBFM for his RADIO QUESTION BOX, which comes on three times weekly for two minutes just before the 5:00 p.m. news.

The VOICE OF PROPHECY reports that 78 persons in Carolina were baptized into the church in 1977 through some connection with the VOP. A small but successful FIVE-DAY PLAN TO STOP SMOKING was conducted in January at St. Luke's Hospital near Tryon, North Carolina, by Pastor Merle H. Rouse and Dr. Roy L.
