UNION REAPER CONFERENCES CENTRAL STATES, COLORADO, KANSAS, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA AND WYOMING VOLUME XXXI COLLEGE VIEW, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA OCTOBER 16, 1962 NUMBER 41 "AN ENEMY HATH DONE THIS" JAMES V. SCULLY, Director of Youth Activities, American Temperance Society Someone has said that "Alcohol would destroy the church if it could; the church could destroy alcohol if it would." "The conflict against this evil, which is destroying the image of God in man, must be vigorously maintained. The warfare is before us. No tame message will have influence now. God looks upon our world as revolted and corrupted, but He will send His holy angels to aid those who will engage to destroy the worship of these idols." Temperance, p. 239. Conflicts and wars are expensive. The budget for our national armament grows every year. Here we are, living at a time when men are being destroyed by the enemy of truth through intemperate habits. "The whole world seems to be marching to its death," Sister White tells us. Are we concerned? You can add strength and supplies needed to combat the enemy of truth by giving liberally when the temperance offering is taken in your church. "Every true reform has its place in the work of the third angel's message. Especially does the temperance reform demand our attention and support." Temperance, p. 234. The battle line can be strengthened by lectures, new films, literature, and more personnel, made possible through your gifts. Today's gifts mean tomorrow's souls, rescued from the stronghold of the enemy. An envelope like the one pictured on this page will be placed in your hand October 27. Will you respond and give a generous offering for temperance on that Sabbath? Your gift may be the means of staying what the "enemy has done" in some specific heart.

CENTRAL UNION REAPER 3 ATTENTION NEBRASKA CHAPTER, News Items David S. King, Member of Congress WORLD TEMPERANCE DAY, OCTOBER 27 All Thoughtful American citizens should be grateful to the American Temperance Society for the vigorous and unselfish campaign which it is waging to discourage the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit narcotics. The scientific evidence that alcohol, tobacco, and narcotics are undermining the health of this nation is now so abundant as to be beyond all reasonable doubt. The success of the campaign which the society is waging may very well be one of the keys to the survival of our democratic way of life. Sincerely, David S. King Member of Congress We believe our Sabbath School members in North America and throughout the world have also received a blessing as they have given of their means to make these facilities available to their brethren in other lands. Together with the Northern European Division the General Conference Sabbath School Department wishes to say a hearty "thank you." Brix B. HARE • • VLOICE SUNDAY Voice of Prophecy Sermons October 21: Worship of the Golden Calf October 28: Days Without End Religious Liberty Week October 7 to 13 was designated as a week for special emphasis on religious liberty.

Other guests included the administrative officers of the college, the chairman of the instructional departments, and any others on the Union College staff holding doctorate degrees. Annual Testing Program in Progress The annual testing program, sponsored by Union College, is now being administered to students in the academies of the Central and Northern Unions. The tests given include a scholastic aptitude test, an achievement test, and a test to determine vocational interests. These tests reveal to the academies the progress of the students in relation to high schools throughout the United States. They are valuable to the college in determining the students who might be successful in college. All members of the senior class in each academy are counseled individually with test records available. Dr. L. W. Welch, professor of religion and guidance, has administered these tests at Sheyenne River Academy, Harvey, North Dakota; Plainview Academy, Redfield, South Dakota; Platte Valley Academy, Shelton, Nebraska; and Sunnydale Academy, Centralia, Missouri.

It included numbers on the organ by Miss Marvelyn Loewen, instructor in organ, and vocal solos by Mr. Lyle Jewell, instructor in voice. Freshman Nursing Students Visit Clinical Campus Thirty-seven freshmen nursing students left the campus Thursday morning, October 4, by bus for the Porter Hospital in Denver. The purpose of this trip to the Colorado campus was to give the freshman nursing student a glimpse of what her last two years of training will be like. On Saturday evening, October 5, the Associated Student Body of the Colorado campus sponsored a talent program for the benefit of the visiting freshmen. Target Teams Visit Beatrice, Nebraska On Sabbath afternoon, September 29, the College View Missionary Volunteer "Target Teams" penetrated the city of Beatrice, Nebraska. This marked the first major soul-winning activity of the school year. One hundred and eight teams, representing about one-fourth of the Union Oollege student body, participated in this venture. The procedure followed in this visitation program was to take a religious interest survey and to leave at each home 4 a lesson from the Twentieth Century Bible correspondence course. Follow-up visitation will be made to those interested. Library News Mrs. Rose Anne Job, a graduate of Jamestown College, Jamestown, North Dakota, has been added to the library staff as a full-time worker. She is supervising the processing of books purchased from the $10,000 grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, Battle Creek, Michigan. The cataloging department of the library has processed 386 new titles since the first of September, as well as a number of added copies or volumes. Thirty-five students, totaling ap'roximately 550 hours per week, are assisting in the library. Union College World Tour Around the world in seventy days! Sounds almost as exciting as the onetime popular book by Jules Verne, Around the World in Eighty Days, doesn't it? This trip will actually be a dream come true for 35 ambitious travelers who will join the "around-the-world" tour next summer, sponsored by the history and English departments of Union College. Dr. R. K. Nelson, chairman of the history department and director for the tour, states that six hours of credit will be available, three in Eurasian literature and three in modern Asian history. At the present time nearly 60 people have expressed an interest in the tour, 24 having already signed up to go. The tour is not restricted to those who wish college credit; however, the charges are the same. According to present plans, the group will leave Omaha by jet plane for Los Angeles on June 11, and return to Omaha from New York by jet on August 22. A definite day-by-day itinerary may be obtained by writing to Dr. Nelson at Union College. According to reports, tour members are already arranging for light-weight suitcases and drip-dry, no-iron clothing. Traveling from hot, sultry Singapore to burning Sinai and then to chilly Norway will take a variety of well-chosen clothing. Expenses will be kept to a minimum, reports Dr. Nelson and only hardy travelers are urged to go. The total cost will be approximately $2,200. This price includes meals, lodging, guide fees, admissions, and all transportation. Gifts, film, etc., of course, will be extra. By avoiding lavish hotels and high-priced CENTRAL UNION REAPER tourist centers, expenses may be kept to a moderate level. Group rates can be obtained on nearly everything, thus making a substantial over-all saving. High lights of the tour, as always on a Union-sponsored tour, will be stops at Adventist medical and educational institutions, where many of Union's former students cherish one end of a golden cord. Other special locations of interest which have gained an enthusiastic response from correspondents are: Pearl Harbor in Hawaii; Mt. Fujiyama and Hiroshima in Japan; a canoe trip on the ocean in Okinawa; a visit to a tailor where a suit can be made in one day in Hong Kong; the death houses; a Buddhist restaurant and the Tiger Balm Gardens in Singapore; yellow-robed priests and pagodas in Thailand; the Taj Mahal and the Sacred Ganges River in India; Jerusalem and vicinity in Jordan; Sinai and the pyramids in Egypt; the Acropolis; Mars Hill, and the Parthenon in Greece; St. Sophia's mosque in Istanbul, Turkey; St. Peter's Cathedral and the Vatican in Italy; the Alps moutains and a ski lift in Switzerland; a concert in Vienna on the beautiful blue Danube; Tivoli gardens in Denmark; a fjord trip in Norway; shopping in Paris and London; rural life in Spain; and many more thrilling adventures. Union College history and English tours have become famous in the threeunion area served by the college. Having been organized for the first time in the summer of 1953 these economy tours have included much of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Be sure to write soon for definite reservations for this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the world for an incomparably low price. A $100 deposit will reserve a glace for you. News From District 15 Sabbath, September 22 was a high day in the experience of our faithful people in southwest Kansas as eight precious souls were received into fellowship of the various churches in the district, seven by baptism and one by profession of faith. Elder H. C. Klement, our new conference president, conducted the sacred rite of baptism for Pastor C. J. Owens. These precious souls, as they were baptized into the Lord Jesus Christ, will be an encouragement to Standing with Pastor Owens, left, and Elder Klement, right, are those recently baptized at Garden City, Kansas. their respective churches as they continue to grow in grace and add their strength in finishing the work our Master has entrusted to each of us. Faithful laymen especially had a vital part in bringing these to Christ. After the Sabbath services we had fellowship together by enjoying the bounties of a nice lunch together. Following our lunch, a special feature of the afternoon was hearing first hand a report from a portion of the mission field of Africa in which Dr. Arthur Owens, medical missionary, labored with his family. Dr. and Mrs. Owens and family have been on furlough and were en route back east to return to their field of labor. Sundown vespers was conducted by Elder Clark Dilts. publishing secretary of our conference. At the close of a good Sabbath, Brother Howard Fisher, Kansas Book & Bible House manager, showed an outstanding film, "Mightier Than the Sword," concerned with the reading of good and bad material and its respective results to the reader. Many of our believers then had the opportunity to purchase good books for home and family enjoyment. Many other soul-winning activities have been carried on which will rear) results for the Master such as soul-winning Bible studies by faithful laymen, the Fair Booth in one of our Target Towns featuring our work and ministry by television Bible Schools, and Welfare activities. Three of the above mentioned baptisms were from our Target Town. Pastor Owens is concluding a two-week evangelistic meeting of decision in the Liberal church with six coming forward desiring to unite with the remnant church. These, after further study, will be received into fellowship at a later date. The Garden City church recently took part in a religious census taken by the Ministerial Association of the city, and CENTRAL UNION REAPER as a result we have in hand the names of a good number of people who by preference chose the Adventist Church as theirs. We, of district 15, solicit your earnest prayers that many of these, as well as other precious gems, may be won to the Lord Jesus Christ in this area. C. J. OWENS, District Pastor Temperance Club Organized Registration day brought many eager and happy faces to the campus of Enterprise Academy on September 2. In order to capture the enthusiasm of the day for the cause of temperance, the student officers with the help of Brother and Sister B. E. Jacobs were able to enroll all but about six of our 103 students in the temperance club. We had 100% enrollment last year, and we are certain before too many weeks go by that we will again reach this goal. The temperance club officers are: president, Jan Schultz; vice-president, Jeannine English; secretary-treasurer, Terry Morris and Ann Carrick. The club is planning to schedule appointments in surrounding high schools to show temperance films. The way the students responded is evidence of God's blessing. Pray for us at Enterprise Academy that this spirit of co-operation and dedication to the program of the church may grow and blossom into a large army of workers LEWIS BRAND, in God's cause. Bible Instructor News From District 7 We are happy to report to our friends and believers that in the recent serious storm at Abilene, Kansas, our members and church were unhurt. One family suffered some injury to their trailer house. We thank God for His divine protection in the hour of storm. We are conducting evangelistic meetings at Abilene for a five-week period. We earnestly request the prayers of our people that many will learn of the soon coming of Christ. In a similar series held in Manhattan, Kansas, during the months of June and July, our people supported the meetings very loyally, and five persons expressed their desire to unite with the church. Our district Pathfinder organization is meeting regularly with a steady increase in membership. Students from Enterprise Academy are assisting in the sowing of seed in our two Target Towns and in other small towns nearby. FRED SCHUL'rZ, District Pastor Farewell We wish to take this opportunity to thank all of our people in the Kansas Conference for their wonderful co-operation in the support of God's work here in this conference and for their help during the past nine years with the program that has been carried on. It has been very gratifying to see our soulwinning program grow from year to year and to see the blessings of God in our building program throughout the conference, and in particular the Enterprise building program. This has been possible only by your generosity and your faithful support of the program of God. So as we leave, we say a big "Thank you" and may the Lord bless and keep you until we meet again.

Temperance educational literature during the 1962-63 school year is being sent to every elementary student in the conference. A special temperance education week is being held on the campus of 5 Campion Academy October 22-27. Guest speakers will feature two outstanding physicians and surgeons, and a state welfare official who will tell the plain truth on the results of smoking and drinking and their effects on the individual and on the state. A field trip to the Denver traffic court, drunk court, narcotics court, plus a visit to the state alcoholic rehabilitation center will be very impressive and educational to the young people. Our main efforts will continue to be placed in the direction of our own young people primarily; to save them from the evils of intemperance is to help save them for the kingdom of God. Our secondary efforts will be directed to our communities by making available to them educational temperance motion pictures, film strips, literature and public meetings. All of these activities are very expensive, thus your help is greatly needed. When the temperance offering is taken on October 27 please join your fellow church members in North America by participating. Offering envelopes and flyers have been sent to your church treasurer and temperance secretary, respectively, for our use and information. Thanks so much for joining in the temperance program for North America by giving your offering on October 27. JAMES H. HARRIS, Secretary Temperance Department Farmington Church Booth at The Fair The Farmington church booth at the San Juan County Fair had its share of interested visitors, in spite of stiff competition from a beauty salon demonstrating the latest in bizarre, rainbowhued, and peacock-feathered hairdos. With the theme, "Medical Evangelism Around the World," the corner booth featured a colorful pastel-painted reproduction of the Monument Valley Mission Hospital in Utah on one entire wall of the display. On a curved shelf in front of the painting, a 3-D arrangement of desert sage on rolling terrain was set off with miniature Indian figures and a covered wagon and pony. On the other wall, clustered around a large, hand-painted reproduction of Loma Linda University, were scenes from various other mission areas around the world. A life-size profile of Christ, as "the Great Physician," was arranged at one end so as to appear to be over- 6 CENTRAL UNION REAPER for the Signs of the Times she had been receiving.

White latticework, entwined with artificial foliage in autumn colors, enclosed each end of the booth, and several large potted plants added a refreshing touch of greenery. In harmony with the theme of Medical Missions, the Health and Happiness correspondence course was offered, for which there were 107 enrollments at the booth. Dr. Clifford Anderson's new medical books, Modern Ways to Health, was featured as the grand prize for the individual correctly answering the most questions on a written Bible quiz. Second prize was China Doctor, the life story of Dr. Harry Miller. Courage for the Crisis was the 'book used for the twicedaily free drawings. Those who manned the booth reported considerable interest in the display. Two young men from other booths in the fair expressed their desire to learn more about the Adventist church and what they believe. Another young man, recently returned from Korea, spoke warmly of our work there and in Japan. He was connected with the fair as an official and as we were getting ready to leave on the last day, he stopped to visit and told us how many people had commented favorably on our attractive display. Among those who signed for the Health and Happiness course were the county sheriff and an English teacher from the high school. On Saturday night, Miss Nelle Mulliken and Miss Wanda Green, two of the nurses from Monument Valley Mission, were present to add interest to our featured subject. The Indian Fair At the close of the Farmington Fair, lc was suggested that it might be possible to move our exhibit to the Indian Fair at Shiprock, New Mexico, 30 miles away. There we were cordially received by the white man in charge of the educational displays and given a prominent place in full view of everyone who came through the main entrance gate. It was not possible to set up our display exactly as we had in Farmington, but we arranged a good display with the limited facilities, and it proved very effective in attracting a steady stream of visitors, both Navajo and white. The Indians were especially interested in the the picture of the mission hospital in Monument Valley and a very friendly spirit prevailed. Navajo members of our church in Shiprock, as well as interested Indian friends, assisted Mrs. Veda Scholder with the translations, as well as in obtaining signatures for the free drawings and the prize book, the first volume of the 10-volume Bible Story set. About a thousand papers were given away at the Shiprock Indian Fair, which included Signs of the Times, Who Cares, and A Quick Look at Seventh-day Adventists. There were 148 enrollments for the Health and Happiness course. A Navajo police officer stopped to look at the exhibit and told Mrs. Schclder that his sister was one of the curses at Monument Valley. A young Indian woman who had shared a hospital room ‘-ith Mrs. Scholder in Farmington last year stopped by to express her appreciation Our small church membership in Limon was made very happy as they saw 26 come forward to join the baptismal class at the end of a three-week tent meeting which was held in that city. Six of those who took their stand have already been baptized, and another baptism will be held soon. We are thankful for these new members, and it will strengthen our church in Limon very much. We appreciate the fine work our evangelistic team, Elder Harold Williams and Brother Dick Martin, is doing in the Colorado Conference. The pastor of the Limon District, Pastor Eugene Taylor, certainly gave them excellent help. We also appreciate the support that the members gave the team during this meeting. We want to ask an interest in your prayers for the new members who are coming into the church in Limon. The team is in Farmington, New Mexico, where a three-week meeting was begun on October 13 in the church. If you have any relatives and friends living there, please let them know about the meeting. We feel sure the Lord will bless our team as they continue to work for souls. REUBEN F. SCHNEIDER, Evangelism Secretary H.M.S. Richards Elementary School The H.M.S. Richards Elementary School is a consolidated school made possible by the Campion and Loveland churches working together for a stronger educational program. The enrollment this year is 126 students, which is a good increase over last year. Due to the need of a larger room for the first and second grades, the school board made plans to finish a room at the Campion unit to take care of these students. The room is now completed with a recitation room, two rest rooms, and built-in cabinets for storage space. The newly-completed room with the other finished part of the building make Unit Two of the H.M.S. Richards School something that Campion and 7 CENTRAL UNION REAPER churches are supporting the meetings enthusiastically. Interest in the messages presented is splendid. A number of nonAdventists as well as Seventh-day Adventists have mentioned how much they appreciate the clarity of the presentation of the Bible truths. Let us pray earnestly for a good harvest of souls in St. Charles. We have no church there—but this may be the beginning of one. Let us pray accordingly! JAMES E. CHASE, President Ingathering Field Day H.M.S. Richards Elementary School, Unit Two, at Campion, Loveland, Colorado. Loveland are proud of. The Unit One building in Loveland was repainted on the exterior this summer, thus keeping it an attractive school also. Miss Jane Ann Reding, the third and fourth grade teacher, and Miss Joyce Morse, the fifth and sixth grade teacher, are new at the school this year and they are already doing a fine work. Mrs. Roy Klingenberg, the first and second grade teacher, is enjoying the new room and doing an excellent job with the little ones. Mrs. Nellie Jensen, the seventh and eight grade teacher and principal, is to be commended for her very fine work in teaching and leadership. 0. L. McLEAN, District Pastor Kansas City Professional Club Enjoys Annual Meeting Some 100 students, their families, and guests made a Sabbath retreat to the rolling Missouri woodlands to perpetuate an autumn classic under the auspices of the Seventh-day Adventist Professional Club. All the members of the club hold membership in or attend our churches in the Kansas City area. The week end of September 29, a group of future Christian physicians from the Kansas City College of Osteopathy and Surgery shared fellowship at Knob Noster State Park. Comprised of students who did their undergraduate work at the various denominational colleges this group is currently making a significant contribution to the spiritual tone and impact of the Advent message in Kansas City. Notwithstanding the worldly academic environment these men find opportunity to call attention to the distinctive Adventist health and moral truths. Elder James E. Chase made an appeal in his Sabbath message for professional excellence motivated by the principles of evangelical medicine. Among the participating guests were Elders E. L. Moore and A. H. Liebelt with their wives, and Mrs. James E. Chase. DAVID MCFADDIN, President, Professional Club Welcome—Elder and Mrs. A. H. Liebelt! Yes—we welcome you, Elder and Mrs. A. H. Liebelt and family to the Missouri Conference. Through the years God has richly blessed your ministry in North Dakota and more recently in Iowa where you served so faithfully as district pastor and also in the publishing work. We believe that again you A. H. Liebelt will be blessed in service as pastor of the Kansas City Park Memorial church. Lyndell and Lyndon, we are happy you have chosen Union College as your college and are already there, and Lynn, we are glad you are at Kansas City Junior Academy! JAMES E. CHASE, President Report on St. Charles Meetings On Sunday night September 30, a series of meetings was launched in St. Charles,. Missouri, by Elders L. R. Mansell, Arthur Hagele, and Brother James Hoover. Despite the torrential downpour of rain, both before and during the meeting, there was a good attendance. The members of the St. Louis and Troy Thirteen carloads of students from Sunnydale Academy made their annual Ingathering trip on Thursday, October 4. Bright clear weather served to add to the joys of the day. When all the funds were counted at the close of the day nearly one thousand dollars had been added to the cause of God. One group found a church member who had been isolated for some time. Another reported finding interests that are worthy of being followed up. It is a pleasure to work with this group of dedicated students who are determined to serve the Lord. Every student participated in this endeavor and made victory possible. J. M. STONE, Principal Fremont District God is blessing in the Fremont District. A series of meetings were begun in July in the City Auditorium at Decatur, Nebraska, by E. V. Schultz with the faithful assistance of M. M. Voegele, neighboring district pastor of the South Sioux City District, and wonderfully supported by the members of the Tekamah Rural and Tekamah City churches. Several people are now keeping the Sabbath as a result of this series of meetings and are looking forward to baptism. A baptism was conducted in the Fremont church Sabbath, October 13, when a number of souls being studied with by the writer united with God's remnant church. Through friendship with our neighbors a recent thrilling experience has come to us of seeing our next door neighbor accept this truth. After giving Bible studies to this family every Friday night, I will now have the privilege of baptizing them. Interests are developing throughout 8 CENTRAL UNION REAPER the district as a result of the Twentieth Century Bible School, evangelistic meetings, our faithful literature evangelists, door-to-door contacts and faithful witnessing of our members. Our people of the Fremont District are of good courage, faithfully supporting the cause of God with their tithes and offerings and soul-winning activities. Having labored for four years in the Fremont District and now preparing to move to another field of labor in the Nebraska Conference, my family and I do so with reluctance. We cherish fond memories of associating and working together with our people of the Fremont District. We bid farewell to the churches of the Fremont District and will carry forward our support of the cause of God to our new district in the sure and certain hope of the soon return of our Lord. E. V. SCHULTZ, District Pastor These three ladies are faithful members of the Neligh church. These Lives a Testimony The ladies pictured above are members of the Neligh, Nebraska, SDA Church and all are 85 years of age or older. They have been members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for 60 years. Left to right: Mrs. Minnie Cowin does much traveling by air and train. She is spending this winter at Loma Linda, California; Mrs. Phoebe Bates Guild is a distant relative of Joseph Bates. Her pastime is repeating the books of the Bible and singing hymns from memory; Mrs. Anna Pederson comes 25 miles to church and lives on a farm north of Meadow Grove. We thank the Lord for the testimony of these faithful members. MABEL GUILD, Church PR Secretary These nine youth were invested in a late summer investiture service at Beatrice, Nebraska. Plan Ahead for a Church School Eleven of Nebraska's 21 districts are served by church schools. This leaves ten districts with no church school. Districts which have church schools are able to hold their vigorous young couples who are the strength of the church now and for the future. Two districts which have no schools have set up school boards to plan and prepare for the school which they are sure they want in the next few years. Congratulations to Beatrice and Norfolk districts for this forward step. Other districts ought to follow. There are many young people in the Beatrice District. Under the leadership of Mrs. Ervin Funk they have been interested and active in the JMV work. Nine of them were invested late this summer. See the accompanying picture. Church schools closed last fall with an enrollment of 500 in the ten schools of the Nebraska Conference. The eleven schools now in operation show an opening report of 513 students. A new school has been opened at Gothenburg this fall. It is time now to start planning for the school you hope to open next fall. ROBERT A. TYSON, Superintendent The district is proud again of its enrollment in Platte Valley Academy this year. Nearly every young person of academy age is in attendance there. The Dorcas also has been busy helping the folk of the community that have needed it. We link our hands with the rest of the good people of Nebraska, the union, and the world field to carry the gospel to all people so that the coming of Jesus may be soon, and that we may hear the well done thou good and faithful servant. This is our prayer and aim through the grace and power of Jesus. R. G.

French, Secretary Home Missionary Department WHERE EVEN A MOLEHILL OF STUDENT INTEREST Imperial District The Imperial District has been busy as usual with the work going forward on every front. There are a number of Bible studies being given by the lay workers and a number of studies have been completed with decisions still to he made. The Lord has promised that if we cast our bread upon the waters, it shall return. We claim this promise and go forward in faith. A successful class of Red Cross First Aid has been conducted by Elder C. R. French with 12 people completing the course and receiving their certificates. The course was enjoyed, and we believe it will be most helpful.

Only two weeks from date of contact this good woman and some of her family were visitors in the Laramie church. The Lord is working to finish the work quickly; God's people are willing in the day of His power, and we shall see wonderful things happen. We can soon so home! L. 0. BARNES, Pastor The enthusiasm of the Cheyenne laymen in taking the Bibles for the Bible Marking Plan was so great the supply was depleted before everyone could obtain one. Power in the Word How often have we had the good works brought to our attention from the Spirit of Prophecy, "Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families, and opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was manifest."—Testimoni s, Vol. 9, p. 126. We have been inclined to place this experience among the wonderful things that will somehow take place List prior to Christ's coming by some mighty work of the Holy Spirit. This could be a fatal mistake fo- some who sit idly by waiting for things to happen instead of seeking methods to bring the prophecy to a soon fulfillment. Every evidence that the method to do this very work is now available and is clearly seen in the leading of our Lord in the Bible Marking Plan. Could this be "the simple method" that God will use to finish the work quickly? For years many costly devices have been used by evangelists and laymen to attract the interest of the public to the message of the Seventh-day Adventist church. We have not met with the measure of success that we would like to have. The best minds of the denomination have been busy devising better methods of evangelism, but the tendency has been in the direction of complicated devices. A wonderful discovery was made and a real interest was created in the truths of the message for today by a simple, personal Bible Marking Plan. There is power in the Word! Our good people are showing a willingness to co-operate with God in this plan. It is encouraging to all to find a simple, inexpensive plan that realty works. Last Sabbath the plan was presented to the Cheyenne church in an afternoon meeting conducted by Elders E. E. Hagen, G. C. Williamson, and H. H. Voss. The enthusiastic Cheyenne laymen over subscribed the supply of Bibles brought to the meeting. They were encouraged by reports from other churches from which stories of success came. One of these came from Laramie where the plan was launched by Elder Voss one month before. Mrs. Jewell Woods took a Bible at that time and contacted a neighbor.
