How to Finish God's Work
DEAR FELLOW BELIEVER:
The first North American Laymen's Congress was held four years
ago. You may have been among the
thousands of laymen who had the
privilege of attending that eventful
meeting. The congress marked a new
upsurge in missionary activities and
soul-winning results. This is reflected in the large increase in missionary contacts, lay efforts, welfare
activities, and literature usage.
At the recent General Conference
Session a recommendation was
passed authorizing the holding of
three laymen's congresses during
the summer of 1955 in the central,
western, and eastern sections of
North America.
The theme of the congresses will
be "Decisions for Christ and the
Message." The demonstration workshops, problem clinics, and soulwinning techniques will center in
decisions for truth.
We believe that these congresses,
to be held with delegate representation for every fifty members, will
give a larger number of laymen the
vital training necessary for more effective evangelism. It will furnish
added impetus to soul winning and
will accelerate home visitation which
will "largely accomplish the great
work of the third angel's message"
(Historical Sketches, p. 150).
The Spirit of prophecy especially
calls attention to the opportunity and
necessity of "instructing our people
in practical methods of presenting
the saving truths" (Testimonies for
the Church, Vol. IX, p. 81). These
laymen's congresses will emphasize,
through demonstrations, the "how"
of soul winning. We believe that you
By W. B. OCHS
Tice-President, North American Division
as a delegate or visitor will return
not only charged with a new spirit
and an enlarged vision, but with
practical plans so that during the
coming months there may be many
souls won to this message in your
community.
These congresses will serve you as
an interested layman who is seeking
to be equipped for a larger part in
the finishing of the work of God.
Plan your work so that you may
spend your vacation at the congress
to be held in your section of the
country.
We stand on the threshold of the
eternal world. Very soon Christ will
return. In these crucial times it is
vital that your talents and abilities
be utilized and harnessed in soul
winning. We believe that these laymen's congresses will greatly contribute to the finishing of the work.
We shall., not repeat the statements
from the Spirit of prophecy which
call attention to the fact that the
work of God will not be finished until the laymen unite with the ministers in evangelism.
We invite you to plan to attend the
lay congress to be held at Grand
Ledge, Mich., August 30-September 3.
Kindly join us in praying that God
will abundantly bless in the coming
laymen's congresses.
Adventist Welsh Contralto to Sing in Constitution Hall
A rare musical treat for our members in the Greater Washington, Chesapeake, Allegheny, and Potomac
Conference areas will be held on
Monday night, May 9, at 8 o'clock in
Constitution Hall, 18th and D Streets,
when Kathleen Joyce, outstanding Adventist Welsh contralto, will present
a vocal concert. Kathleen Joyce has
appeared in Royal Albert Hall in London as well as in Westminster Abbey.
She is known throughout the British
Isles for her clarity of diction and especially for her sincere and warm interpretation of sacred songs and oratorios. We invite all our members
to come out en masse and give full
support to our sister from across the
seas in this worthy venture. There are
3,844 free seats. An offering will be taken. See page 8 for further details.
This will be Miss Joyce's last public concert in this area this year. She will sing
an excellent program, including two special groups of songs—
"Songs of England" and "Songs of Wales"

Boys of Draft Age
Is there a young man of sixteen
to twenty in your home? Does he
look forward to Army service with
forebodings as would someone departing on a dangerous trip into the
unknown? He need not look forward to Army service with dread.
His church has provided a way to
solve his problem. Medical Cadet
Corps training prepares him mentally, physically, and spiritually for
Army service. If he takes it, he will
go into the Army with assurance
that he can meet the problems, for
he has learned what they are and
how they can be solved.
At the present time I am in the
Far East visiting our Seventh-day
Adventist boys who are in the military service. Over and over again
our boys in Korea and Japan have
told me how much they appreciate
the training they had in the Medical
Cadet Corps before they were called
into the service. The general testimony has been that we should by
no means allow the Medical Cadet
Corps to decline but that we should
urge every Seventh-day Adventist
boy to avail himself of the opportunity of taking the training. Repeatedly boys told me how they
went into the Army with a feeling of
ease and self-confidence which made
the way easy and helped them to
advance in their training.
Not only are the regular and advanced Medical Cadet Corps training courses given at the annual camp
to be held at Grand Ledge, Mich.,
again this summer, but a special
civil defense course for young women
is also offered. Send to your union
conference Missionary Volunteer
Secretary today for full particulars
and an application blank for admission to Camp Desmond T. Doss. The
date of the camp is June 28-July 12.

Attention, Owners of
Tape Recorders
Many of you will be attending one
of the laymen's congresses to be held
during the summer of 1955.
In order to provide room and connections for tape recorders, it will be
necessary to know how many of our
members will be bringing their tape
recorders with them to the laymen's
congress.
The charge for installation of the
cable from the congress platform to
the recording room will be apportioned
to those who are bringing their recorders. Each tape recorder should have
a terminal strip so that there will be
no interference with the reception
even though one recorder is cut off.
Please drop me a postcard, informing me that you are bringing your tape
recorder to the Laymen's Congress,
and mentioning specifically which congress you are attending: Central, in
Kansas City, Missouri; Western, at
Gladstone Park, Oregon; or Eastern, at
Grand Ledge, Mich.
If you fail to notify us that you
are bringing your tape recorder there
may not be room, nor arrangements
made for you to use it. It is of utmost importance that you notify us
NOW. We must have this information
by MAY 20.

Medical Missionary
Day, May 7
ONCE each year Medical Missionary Day comes to our people to
help us to realize the importance
of this work and its place in the
third angel's message. A program
has been provided for this day, and
we should like to call your attention to the fact that First Aid and
Home Nursing classes and the
reading of Elder D. E. Robinson's
book, The Story of Our Health
Message, are all a part of our program for this next year.
We hope that each member will,
upon this day, catch a vision and a
deeper understanding of the Great
Physician who went about doing
good and healing all who were afflicted.

THE
I I ADVENTIST TELECAST
"Faith for Today" Helps
Ingathering
INGATHERING iS without doubt the
greatest concerted missionary effort of the advent people. Anything
that will enhance its effectiveness
is always welcomed by every active believer. Now that the campaign is upon us, the following report of singing band activity will
show how the Adventist telecast
has had a part in preparing the
way.
"You may be interested to know
that since we have been caroling
for Ingathering we have had many
favorable comments on Faith for
Today. It has helped our singing
bands wonderfully. So far as I
know we have never failed to get
an offering from a Faith for Today
viewer. Many of them name the
minister, Fagal. Usually our largest gifts come from those people."
But what is the attitude of new
TV converts? How do they fit into
the church's financial picture?
From Canada came this letter, bubbling over with enthusiasm:
"I was ingathering one day in
Sarnia and asked people if they
were acquainted with the program,
Faith for Today. I think about
twenty out of thirty are steady
viewers, and the rest of them are
going to watch your programs. The
ones who listen think it's just wonderful. Thank the Lord, for if it
hadn't been for this program I
would never have learned the
truth.
"I just love the missionary part
of Ingathering. I feel sure that you
will be hearing from some of these
people I contacted."
This new member has caught
the true vision of Ingathering's
twin goals—souls and funds. May
all of us who have been longer in
the way renew our zeal in participating in the Ingathering work.
The Lord is raising up helpers; let
us make this the most outstanding
year for souls and funds in every
conference that the Lord's coming
may be hastened.

Reverence
By
FRED COCHRANE
That we so oft accord
I sat in church one Sabbath day;
The•members talked so loud,
And showed as little reverence
As any worldly crowd,
Again I sat in that same church,
But all was quiet now;
For in a casket up in front
Lay one with pallid brow.
More reverence to a man that's
dead
Than to our living Lord.
If we could see with mortal eye
Bright angels there each day,
It has been said that "fools rush in
Where angels fear to tread":
We say we come to worship God,
But visit friends instead.
Oh, why not show more reverence
In this, God's house of prayer,
And try to act as Christians should
When we assemble there?
Our words would cease; then all

Watching for Interests in
West Pennsylvania
ONE of our Gospel Light-Bearers,
Mrs. Theresa Oddi, is an earnest
worker for her Master. She is constantly reaching out for opportunities to bring God's special message of salvation to people of all
classes.
A boy from her neighborhood
had stolen some gasoline from her
along with committing many other
felonies. When taken to prison his
conscience led him to confess to
thefts previously unknown. Among
these was the gasoline taken from
Mrs. Oddi. He wrote her a letter
confessing to this and asked permission to make good when opportunity comes. Mrs. Oddi sent her
forgiveness and also a copy of
Drama of the Ages for both the
prisoner and the chaplain. The result was a kind letter from the
chaplain, thanking her for her
spirit of forgiveness and a promise
that he will read the fine book she
sent him.

Mrs. Oddi was impressed by the

Feeling that this might be a possible contact, Mrs. Oddi wrote the

that it had meant much to her in

HAROLD E. FAGAL
Pastor
Cleveland Church School
ON Sunday afternoon, April 3,
the members of the First Church
in Cleveland gathered at the site
of the new church school and recreation building to witness the
laying of the cornerstone. It was
a happy occasion for the church
members who have worked faithfully and hard to make it possible
for construction to begin on this
important unit of the church.
The building, which will contain three large classrooms, an office, a kitchen that will also serve
as a domestic science laboratory,
and a large gymnasium, is under
contract to be completed by August in order that school may open
in the new building in September.
The building site is on a hill overlooking Cleveland's main street—
Euclid Avenue—and embraces five
acres of land. Its accessibility to
express buses which stop within a
few feet of the location, and to
other buses that feed into the newly opened east-west rapid transit,
make it unexcelled for transportation. It is far enough from the
congestion of the business section,
and yet within the limits of the
city of Cleveland, to make it an
ideal location for our children who
live in this metropolitan area.
During the ceremony the pastor
of the church recounted the providential opening that made possible the purchase of such a large
tract of land at an unbelievably
low price, and the many evidences
of God's leading in every stage of
the planning for the school. Prayer
was offered, consecrating the site
and the proposed building to the
honor and glory of God for the
purpose of saving our youth and
developing them to become workers together with Him. Elmer G.
Metzdorf, chairman of the finance
committee, also spoke briefly and
assisted the pastor in the laying
of the cornerstone. Ellis R. Diehm,
chairman of the building committee, was on a tour of the Holy Land
and Europe and for that reason
was unable to attend.
A strong school program is
planned for Cleveland next school
year with grades one through ten
being taught. It has been arranged
for Clarence Dunbebin to be principal of the school and to teach
grades seven to ten. Opal Winterfeld has been invited to teach
grades one through six. Both of
these teachers are well qualified
for their work and come to Cleveland with the experience necessary
to carry on an excellent program of

Christian education. Under their
leadership and with a thoroughly
modern and functional physical
plant we shall have a school that
will fulfill the divine blueprint and
come behind in nothing. It will be
a credit to our work in this city
which has as its slogan "the best
location in the nation."
It is our plan to make this building a youth center for all our
young people in this area. Our
young people living in these large
cities need a place where they can
come together with others of their
own faith and find their recreation.
The gymnasium and kitchen facilities have been planned with this
in mind. We envision a very active
scholastic and recreational program being carried on in this
building commencing in the fall.

District Number One Shows
Tobacco Film
WHAT better acclaim could highschool students give to our tobacco film, "One in 20,000" than to
mill around the man who showed
it and demand his autograph?
This did happen. The school was
the Knoxville High School and the
lecturer was Victor Zuchowski,
hard-working pastor of District
No. 1 in Tioga County.
What more conclusive proof can
we offer of the film's import upon
young minds than to say that students will fling half-finished packages of cigarettes into the trash can
after seeing this authentic portrayal of the results of smoking.
This happened also, this time in
the Mansfield High School, and,
from all reports, in several other
high schools in Tioga County.
Most high-school principals were
outspoken in their appreciation of
the service thus rendered to their
students. We found, to our surprise, that many of these principals either did not smoke or had
quit smoking. In one high school
only three out of a staff of thirteen
teachers were smokers. We were
heartened to see the fine example
set by these teachers.
Altogether, we were able to obtain eighteen appointments with
all the high schools of Tioga and
several Grange and P. T. A. groups
5
with an, approximate total audience of 3,580 persons.
Brother Zuchowski and Brother
Paul Witt, local elder of the Wellsboro Church, showed the film.
Brother Zuchowski's brief lecture
after each showing was sober,
learned, and forceful. Speaking
from a professional standpoint as
a former druggist, he was able to
give informed admonitions regarding a habit that causes not only
diseased lungs but many other
maladies as well.
Naturally, a close-up, full-color
viewing of the surgical removal
of a diseased lung was not without
incident among the squeamish and
as a result there were occasional
faintings. However, we felt that
the good accomplished far outweighed the slight harm done and
that temporary loss of consciousness was not to be compared to a
death-dealing lung cancer.
At each showing we felt the
Spirit of the Lord in a marked degree. Also we saw demonstrated
the Lord's power in causing the
enemy to be overruled in .a definite attempt to stop the film showing here.

On the Jericho Road
ON a little road in southern New
Jersey—the Jericho Road—stands
a little chapel which is filled each
Sabbath with Good Samaritans.
Yes, it is the Jericho Church. On
Sabbath March 19, 1955, they held
their last great Jericho Ingathering Mystery Day.
It seemed that the enemy was
determined that these modern
Good Samaritans should fall among
thieves. Three weeks before Victory Day the sad news of the death
of "Bunky" Johnson, son of the
local elder and missionary leader,
cast an understandable gloom over
the congregation. Several of their
best workers were ill, some of
them in the hospital. Just a week
before Victory Day Mrs. Thelma
Jeffreys, wife of the pastor, was
driving a group to their territory.
At an unexpected curve the car
left the road, was flipped by a
guy wire and three persons were
thrown into a field. Sister Mosely
suffered a broken pelvis. The
others were not hurt seriously. The
automobile was declared a total
loss.
In view of all this, it was feared
that Mystery Day would come far
short of the usual high attainment,
but when the day came the church
was filled with members and visitors. A fine program was planned.
As the piano played the members
placed their offerings in a halfbushel basket decorated for missions. The basket was filled to
overflowing. It contained just six
dollars short of a double Minuteman goal. It held more than had
ever come in for previous victory
days. The total amount in the basket was $3,600. A deacon stood up
and said, holding a coin, "I have a
silver dollar that wants to go into
mission service but it doesn't want
to go alone." More money flowed
in than was needed for the double
Minuteman.
The reason this will be the last
great victory at Jericho is that
their new church home in Salem
is nearly completed. We hope the
spirit and example of the people
of the Jericho Road will serve as a

Mt. Aetna Academy Student
Wins "Instructor" Award
ELSIE FOWLER, a senior student
at Mt. Aetna Academy, Hagerstown, Md., has won a third award
in the 1954-55 Youth's Instructor
Pen League. This annual contest,
which is open to junior and senior
English students in all the accredited Seventh-day Adventist
academies of the United States and
Canada, provides a way for young
people to make practical use of
what they learn, as they write
their themes for actual publication
in a denominational paper. This
year there were 234 entries from
thirty of the academies.
Elsie's article, "God's Providence," will appear in a forthcoming issue of the Youth's Instructor, along with her picture
and a biographical sketch.

Infant Dedication Held at
Glen Burnie, Md., by
MV Secretary
ON a recent Sabbath Elder A. J.
Patzer, Missionary Volunteer Secretary of the Columbia Union Conference, conducted a dedicatory
service in the Glen Burnie, Md.
Church, assisted by the pastor,
Elder A. E. Neil.
Five babies were given to the
Lord at this service whose parents
are members of the Glen Burnie
Church. One infant from the Annapolis Church, also in the district,
was dedicated at a later service.
Elder Patzer used as his text
Jeremiah 4:3, presenting truths of
significance and practical application for those present.
The Crusaders, a quartet of
consecrated laymen, accompanied
Elder Patzer and furnished music
for the service.

Camp Meeting
At New Market, Va.
THE annual camp meeting for the
Potomac Conference will be held
on the campus of the beautiful
Shenandoah Valley Academy at
New Market, Virginia, beginning
Thursday evening, June 23, and
closing Sunday evening, July 3.
New Market is about 115 miles
from Washington, D. C., and about
fifty-two miles south of Winchester
on Route 11. Forty-two miles south
of New Market is Staunton, where
our new Conference office will be
located. We invite all who desire
to spend a few hours during camp
meeting visiting our new conference office to drive down and see
it. We believe you will enjoy the
beauties of the place. It is known
as Gaymont Place on Route 11 in
the south section of Staunton. We
plan to move the conference office
there right after camp meeting. An
attendant will be there to show
you through the buildings.
We are hoping to have an unusually good camp meeting. Excellent help has been promised from
the General Conference and Union
Conference, besides our own Conference workers.
We will use the new Academy
gymnasium auditorium for the
large gatherings. This building will
be completed by camp meeting
time. It will seat some 2500 persons. There will be several large
tents to accommodate the various
divisions.
In addition to the living tents we
already have, we recently purchased nearly as many more to accommodate those desiring to occupy tents. Those desiring rooms
in the Academy dormitories may
write and make reservations.
Please write to Brother W. H.
Jones, 411 Cedar Street, N.W.,
Washington 12, D. C., stating which
you desire, a tent or a room. For a
price list of the extra-reasonable
rates see the issue of April 14 of
the VISITOR. If you do not have access to a VISITOR, a small supply
of order blanks has been sent to
your pastor.
Many of our dear members living in Virginia were unable to
8
travel the long distance when camp
meeting was held in Takoma Park,
and the Conference Committee
voted to hold our camp meetings
hereafter on the Academy campus
at New Market, Virginia. This will
make it possible for many more
from Virginia to attend, and our
good people in the Washington area
will enjoy attending a real camp
meeting away from the confusion
of the city. Let us plan now to attend camp meeting, June 23 to July
3. Be prompt in ordering your tent
or room now, and not be disappointed later. Also pray earnestly
that this will be the best camp
meeting in our experience.

WSVA-TV Begins "Faith
For Today" Program
WE are happy to announce to all
our members in the Shenandoah
Valley area that another station
has accepted the Faith for Today
program.
WSVA-TV, Channel 3, at Harrisonburg, Va., began telecasting
the program on Saturday, April 16,
at 5:00 P.M. The original plan was
to begin in March, but we are
pleased that the program is now
being seen regularly.
This station covers the entire
Shenandoah Valley area and is an
excellent station. Arrangements
have been made to publicize this
telecast in all the cities of the valley area. We hope that many will
enroll in the Bible course and take
a real interest in the program.
It would be a fine thing if all
our members in the valley area
could write letters of appreciation
to the station sometime in the near
future. This will mean a great deal
in keeping the program on the air.
Just address your letter to "Manager, WSVA-TV, Harrisonburg,
Va."
Newport News Adds
"Faith for Today"
TELEVISION station WACH-TV,
Channel 33, in Newport News, Virginia, has accepted the "Faith for
Today" program as part of their
public service schedule and began
telecasting the program Sunday
night, May 1, at 6:30 o'clock.
This is the 28th station in the
Columbia Union to take our program. We invite all our members
in this area to watch the program.
After you have watched the program, then sit down and write a
letter of appreciation to the station.
This will help keep the program on
the air at no expense to us for air
time.

Be Sure to Hear Kathleen
Joyce Monday Night in
Constitution Hall
THIS past week Kathleen Joyce
has been giving concerts in Lincoln, Nebraska; Chicago, and Berrien Springs. Everywhere our people and their friends have greatly
appreciated her ministry in song.
She will fly here from Chicago on
Sunday in time for her concert in
Constitution Hall this Monday
night, May 9.
We are glad that our people can
hear her once more before she goes
back to England. She will be accompanied in her Constitution Hall
concert by one of Washington's
leading accompanists, Paul Higginbotham.
As mentioned last week our
singer is donating her services for
this concert and the entire proceeds
will go to establish an Adventist
Child Adoption Agency in Washington. Let us cancel all other engagements and come out and give
loyal support to Kathleen Joyce in
this worthy venture.
In private life our singer is
known as Mrs. E. J. Watson. She is
a member of the Stanborough Park
Church near London. For several
years as a young girl she worked
in our food factory at Stanborough
Park. She is well known by our
churches and evangelists throughout the British Isles. Being of
Welsh parentage may be one reason why her vocal aptitudes have
developed so quickly in recent
years.
Our contralto is humble and unassuming, and one outstanding feature about her singing is her clarity of diction. She is just as well
known outside Adventist circles
in the British Isles as she is by our
own churches, and because of her
vocal artistry is recognized as one
of the leading contraltos in England today. Her oratorio debut was
made in London in March, 1951,
when she sang in the St. Matthew
Passion given annually by the
well-known Bach choir conducted
by Sir Reginald Jacques. Soon
after this she took part in a Festival of Britain performance of the
"Messiah" at Westminster Abbey.
She is also well known for her
COLUMBIA UNION VISITOR
many appearances on the radio
programs of the British Broadcasting Company. It was on one of
these broadcasts that she was heard
by Sir John Barbirolli, who immediately arranged to audition her,
and after the audition promptly
signed her up to go with him on a
tour of England and Ireland with
his famous symphony orchestra.
She has several times sung the
contralto solos in "Messiah" as
given annually in Royal Albert
Hall in London, under the direction
of Sir Malcolm Sargent. This annual presentation is usually sung
by a choir of 1,000 picked voices,
accompanied by a symphony orchestra and the giant pipe organ.
Over 7,000 people invariably crowd
in to hear this annual musical
feast.
Monday night will be your last
opportunity to hear K a t h l e en
Joyce. She flies to London Tuesday,
arriving Wednesday in time for the
first of a long series of appearances
beginning Thursday night.
And remember to fill your car
with your non-Adventist neighbors
and friends and bring them to Constitution Hall. Admission is free.
An offering will be taken for the
new Adventist Child Adoption
Agency which will shortly be set
up.
BEN GLANZER
Week of Prayer at S. V. A.
IT was our privilege to spend
the week of March 6 to 12 with
the young people at Shenandoah
Valley Academy. Never has our
lot been cast in a more pleasant
place. We were impressed from
the first with the natural beauty
of the surrounding fields and
mountains, and the swift-flowing
Shenandoah River which forms
the western boundary of the
Academy farm.
We were highly pleased with
the excellent program that is being carried on at Shenandoah.
Professor W. T. Weaver both deserves and enjoys the confidence
of the entire student body and the
faculty. The spiritual and moral
tone of the school is on a high
level. The student response to the
Week of Prayer services was most
gratifying. We thank God for such
a school where our young people
can develop their characters apart
from the sights and sounds of
the cities. A number of the students said that they never had
been so happy in their lives. They
love their school. Under the blessing of God and continued strong
spiritual leadership, Shenandoah
Valley Academy has bright prospects for, its future.

Dedication of Hadley
Hospital
on
Sunday, May 15, 1955, 3:00 P.M.
Plan now to attend this special event
in Washington, D. C. A General Conference official will give the dedicatory address and other special features
are planned as well as an "open house"
program for this ultra-modern hospital in southeast Washington.
Baptism in Roanoke
SABBATH, March 12, was a happy
day in Roanoke, Va., when ten persons were baptized. All ten studied
the Home Bible Course and are
thoroughly indoctrinated with the
three angels' messages.
Seven children were baptized,
four of whom took their stand in
our church school. Two of the
adults baptized have known of the
truth through their mothers for a
number of years. The mother of
Mrs. Martin was one of the charter
members of the church. The mother of Mrs. Webber has been a faithful soul winner and has brought
many into the church.
Mrs. Webber, under the influence of her mother, took the radio
Bible course when Elder Mansell
was in Roanoke, but later dropped
out. The seed had been sown, however, and recently the Spirit of
God worked on her heart and she
finally finished the course and gave
her heart to the Lord.
Mrs. Lovery found a TwentiethCentury Bible Course card in her
mail box and sent for the lessons,
and is a graduate of this course.
Sister Lambdon and Brother Cooper have called on her faithfully
during the winter months and have
used the S. A. V. E. machine to
further establish her in the message.

Good Results
THE Lord blessed us with twelve
baptisms on one day last year.
Nine of them were children with
whom we had been studying all
summer, using the S. A. V. E. machine and the children's studies.
Another family was baptized—husband, wife, and daughter—with
whom we also studied, using the
S. A. V. E. machine. We have several others who expressed a desire
to be baptized in the future.

At Camp Meeting
THE field has already been notified of the fact that "Faith for Today" will be with us on the opening night of the camp meeting,
June 2, and that the "Voice of
Prophecy" will be with us on the
last Sabbath, June 11. While we
are most happy for this good help
at the extreme ends of our meeting,
yet we have been provided some
excellent help throughout the
whole meeting.
Every one of our Union workers
will be with us on various days
during the encampment. Besides
giving us spiritual help, these men
will guide us into greater soulwinning accomplishments. Elder
D. A. Ochs will be with us during
the first part for the ordination
services on the first Sabbath.
Besides the groups mentioned
above, we shall have four men
from the General Conference who
are able to give us excellent help.
Elder V. T. Armstrong, for many
years president of the Far Eastern
Division and now one of the General Conference field secretaries,
will be with us the first part of the
meeting. His wide experience in
the work, will enable him to give
us wonderful help. Elder A. L.
Ham, one of the vice-presidents of
the General Conference, will be
with us the second half. Elder Ham
was president of the Southern Asia
Division for a number of years and
since coming to the General Conference has traveled in most of the
world fields. He will have a wonderful report for us.
Elder W. A. Scharffenberg, Executive Secretary of the International Temperance Society, will be
with us for several days. He will
bring us up-to-date information on
this and related subjects. There
will be a mass Temperance meeting on the first Sunday night. Elder
J. E. Chase, from the Radio and
Television department, will be
wonderful help to us. The College
will send Elder Leslie Hardinge.
With this excellent help, we shall
have an unusually good camp
meeting and you will want to be
