2 OUTLOOK November, 1990 do it. An object "pleasant to the eyes" will work just fine, as it did with Eve in the beginning. Physically, she was free to leave the point of temptation and enjoy almost "every tree of the garden," but she consented to confine herself to a very small, and dangerous, zone. How do we break free of these terrors and temptations that so easily imprison us? The key, I would suggest, is in gaining a new perspective. We occasionally hear of an Voluntary inmate escaping while being lifted by a helicopter over the prison walls. Moving into that third dimension overcomes the barriers. Perhaps the exercise of our faith in God's promises can be like an airlift into a new, liberating dimension. Jesus said He came "to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are confinement bound" (Isaiah 61:1). We don't have to allow the "La Folle Complex" to control us. We can venture into new relationships with different people, or offer a public prayer when called upon. What's more, we don't have to be enslaved by that infatuation with BY GREG RUMSEY a certain car model or home furnishing. Most of all, we don't have to remain in the grip of a cherished sin.

November, 1990 OUTLOOK 5 Before leaving the orphanage in her late teens, Olia learned to walk on her knees, using rubber overboots. She did housework for her living, many times walking the five- mile distance to work from Elwood, Kansas, to St. Joseph. Olia married in her late twenties and mothered five children. Her 35- year marriage ended when her husband died in his 70s. Two of her children have also passed away. Besides raising her own children, Olia has been a mother to a number of other children who might otherwise have spent their childhood in an orphanage like she did. Eight years ago when she was 82, Olia was baptized a Seventh-day Adventist. She says throughout her life religion has been important to her and she was able to improve her reading skills by studying God's Word. Converted from a pentecostal church, Olia is now a member of the Falls City (Nebraska) church. "I was searching for the truth for a long time. When I was in the holy church I wasn't satisfied. There was still something else I Olia Dixon has found much comfort in reading God's word. She is pictured in her was looking for," she says. "I did not know humble home in Hiawatha, Kansas. about the Sabbath. But when I got into the Adventist church then I knew which day was the Sabbath." Olia is well known in the community of Hiawatha, Kansas, where she lives by God is bigger than herself. She's probably best known as the woman who walks through town on her knees in rubber overboots while passing out literature as she shares her faith. "I tell people about the Sabbath and I tell them what the Bible says. The Lord has any problem I have provided everything I need in life. He's been so good to me."

The words development and caring arise again and again when Candy describes her philosophy of child care. Learning in a loving environment is the essence of the entire program.

Nonstressful environment "We don't create a stressful atmosphere of achievement. Children are encouraged to grow at their own pace," says Candy. "They are taught that they are free to make choices, and as long as they stay within the limits of consideration for other people and things, they do not always have to conform."

When Johnny was nine, he started bringing home some pretty poor grades. Those church school teachers don't know anything anyway," his father grumbled. "I could teach you more in a day than they do in a whole semester. We ought to be sending you to public school anyway—they might teach you something there." Johnny thought about that, and he decided that church school was pretty poor stuff—he wished they would send him to public school. When Johnny was ten, he joined the Pathfinders. What fun—camping! hiking! honors to earn! fun with the fellows! But his folks got upset at the Pathfinder leader and took him out before the year was over. "Anyway, kids his age should be in'bed at a decent hour—not up `til all hours gadding around on campouts," his dad said. Johnny's folks were still careful to see that he got to Sabbath school and church. When Johnny was eleven, he was baptized. His folks were happy. "This is the right church, Johnny," his mother said. But Johnny wondered if she really believed it when he heard her tell his aunt later on, "I know Pastor Brown said...But, of course, he has to agree with conference policy. I think the conference has too much to say in church affairs anyway. We have to get 'conference approval' on everything. There's no point in the local church bothering to vote because the conference and the pastor will do what they want to anyway."

We rush up the trail to help him and discover he is starving and therefore ill, because he has no resistance to disease. He can go no further. Hunger and fever drop him on the trail. Had we stood by this path for many days, the scene would have repeated itself too many times for our peace of mind. But so it was for the thousands of Cambodians who fled the terror in their own country and headed for refuge in neighboring Thailand. Starvation wiped out a large portion of the population and many of those who did get help did not receive it soon enough. Half a continent away another scene reveals itself. A gaunt dark man kneels in the desert, his bony fingers digging into the dry sand. The sun lengthens his shadow as he belds over his task and finally he is rewarded. A tiny trickle of water runs over his fingers. He smiles wearily and fills his jar. This scene comes from the desert areas of Somalia. Three million refugees have fled war in their homelands and congregated in this area. The dusty wind swirls around the meager huts and crowds of people. Children with distended bellies play, but their motions seem like those in a time-lapse film. They have no more energy. Scenes such as these—scenes that speak of "...the sad results of this world's sins—are realities around the globe."

There is no question of the impact that Gates Forming Accessories has on the Denver community. What is lesser known is the impact that Gates has had on the Adventist Church. From the beginning, Bud took an active interest in construction for the church. He was on the building committee for the Rocky Mountain Conference for many years, building and assisting in denominational work. When his oldest son was ready for academy, Bud organized a group of Seventh-day Adventist construction workers to build Mile High Academy in Denver. His father's company contracted to do the work for free. Bud was also instrumental in building the Denver First church in 1973. He was the building committee chairman, and he organized a crew to do the work. As president of Gates Forming Accessories for many years, Bud employed scores of academy and college-age students.
