Tenasserim Local Meeting
Another Annual Meeting has gone by
and, we hope, our jungle brethren have
gone back to their villages determined
to work harder and to shine brighter for
the Lord than ever before.
2
We had only been back one month
when the meeting convened, and we found
that four days was altogether too short
to visit properly with the 142 visitors,
who remained right through the meeting.
The morning devotional meetings, departmental meetings, Bible studies and
sermons were all well attended, as many
as 300 crowding in to the night meetings.
Workers and brethren alike enjoyed
the studies given by Pastor A. W. Cormack, Pastor Phillips, and Pastor Baird
also carried a good share of the burden
of the meetings, while Brother Mainstone,
Pastor J. L. Christian, Mrs. Phillips and
Dr. Tournbald, looked after their departments, the latter two also taking
charge of the women's meetings.
The newly resurrected Brass Band, only
ten days out of the store room proved efficient in assembling the crowds anyway.
It was really much better than a bell. The
school choir and chorus class under the direction of Thra Tha Khin, furnished refreshing selections for nearly every meeting.
There was an excellent response in the
Friday evening meeting, resulting in fourteen new members being added to the
Little Brothers Class, and twelve being
recommended for baptism, which took
place early the next morning.
There was a surprise awaiting everyone at the last meeting, on Saturday
night. A surprise for the Karen brethren
in that they saw moving pictures on the
Time of the End and the Increase of
Knowledge for the first time in their lives.
A surprise for us, because we didn't know
there were so many people within ten
miles of us before. With the sunset, carts
began to arrive from all directions. The
chapel which is built for 200, and into
which by having the children sit on the
floor you can crowd 300, contained easily
500 people, with as many or more trying
to crowd up the stairs. And though we
emptied the chapel, and showed our pictures to a second sitting, several hundreds, they say, went home without seeing them. There were thirty-eight carts in
our compound, one jungle man says there
were twice as many outside and all the
way home he kept meeting carts still
coming with occupants dreadfully disappointed that they were too late.
All the next day our friends and visitors dispersed in their several directions.
Some going by launch, some by canoe,
some by cart, and still others by foot,

in health work at some of the camp meetings and in certain of our schools.
Doctor H. W. Vollmer, medical director, in his report counselled his fellow-workers to ever adhere to the pattern
outlined in the Spirit of Prophecy for
the operation of our health institutions.
Our people appreciate the free surgical
work given periodically, and the special
rates obtainable at all times. He lauded
the commendable spirit shown by the
California Conference churches in providing funds as called for to meet the
cost of operations and treatments given
our worthy poor. The Sanitarium
church, by the way, has endowed two
beds for such persons resident in the Napa
Valley.
The friends of the institution are legion. They are its best advertisement. A
lady patron expressed the observation of
many when she said to Elder Dart, "Tt is
one thing to be coldly and scientifically
treated for your ailments. It is quite another to get that treatment in a setting
of sympathy and kindness. It is this wonderful spirit of loving service that gives
you people such good success."
Two of several resolutions submitted
by the committee on plans recognized
first, the membership of the NevadaUtah Conference as part of the enlarged
Sanitarium constituency, and secondly,
the merit of Elder Roberts' Co-operative
Fellowship Ministry idea, which received
the hearty endorsement of our people in
Making "first things first" is a cardinal principle of the St. Helena Sanitarium
family of workers. This was observed in
the reports given at the thirty-fifth annual meeting of the Association held
March 17.
"Why," asked M. C. Lysinger, manager, "should a comparatively small monetary loss greatly disturb those who serve
and follow a God who can still the tempest and divide the water of the sea at

in the hearts of our friends at this the
oldest of our medical institutions.
Fifteen hundred ninety-four patients
registered during the year, 513 of whom
were surgical cases. The weekly income
per patients was $2.50 less than in 1930,
and $4.00 less than 1929. However, the
net income of $211,981 as against that
of $218,304 for 1930 is far from discouraging for such a time as this.

Vocal music, consisting of solos, duets,
trios, and several chorus numbers by a
group of fourteen nurses, was interspersed
between reports of managers, heads of
departments, and committees. Mingled
feelings of regret and pleasure were felt
over the transfer of. Elder Roberts, President of the Association, to even greater responsibilitities in Southern California, and
the welcoming of Elder Lukens, our new
Conference and . Sanitarium president.
The personnel of the newly elected Board

"He Was Moved With
Compassion"
Jesus was moved with compassion
when He saw the great multitude of
people, for they fainted and were as
sheep without a shepherd. Then it was
that He said, "The harvest truly is
plenteous, but the labourers are few;
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers
into His harvest."
How the heart of Jesus must be
touched as He beholds the millions in
heathen darkness with no one to lead
them into the light! Many of these
poor souls are today thirsty for the living water. Shall we not take it to them?
Our Big Week effort brings to us another
opportunity to help them.
Next Sabbath, April 16, is the day
for the Big Week offering, and we hope
all our churches in Central California
Conference will give liberally to this
fund. Let us not overlook this important offering.
DAVID VOTH.
Broken on Both Sides
The other day I picked up a book
with the above title. It contains a story
that has appealed to me, one which needs
no extended comment for it teaches its
own lesson.
In the days of the Wild West, there
was only one way to mount a horse, and
that was to leap into the saddle at one
bound. Back East you might scramble
up the front legs, or over the head, or
climb a fence and crawl into the saddle,
but not so "out West."
It was somewhere on this coast that
there was a horse named. Sam. When
you approached Sam from one side you
could scramble up his mane, or stand
on a barrel and get on his back, or do
anything you liked with him and he
was as gentle as a lamb. But when you
approached Sam from the other side,
the moment your hand touched his
back and your foot the stirrup, Sam
was clear up four feet in the air and
down again with a thud, a real bucking
broncho, lunging back and forth, rearing in the air and twisting from one side
to the other. What was the trouble?
Sam was "broken in" on one side only.
Big Week is upon us. Sad to say, it
does seem that we have a few Sams in
our churches. So long as things they
enjoy are presented to them, all is well,
but when it comes to a campaign like
Big Week, which tests our loyalty, metal,
and courage, then like Sam, approached
from the "other" side, it is different. I
am convinced that this Big Week experience is one that we need in order to
develop determination, grit, and perseverance. You need it, my brother, my
sister, and I need it. These were the outstanding characteristics of the early
church. These they needed to face the
stake, the lion, and the rack. These we
must develop for the crisis just ahead.
Big Week provides an opportunity to
test our experience and I believe that
God will abundantly bless as we go forward in faith and confidence. Let's all
be "broken on both sides."

ern section of our field, this office ordered 1500 sets of Big Week books.
More than 1,000 sets have already been
distributed.
The leader of the Coalinga church
writes that we may consider his church
as having already reached its $2.00 per
member goal. With ten members, they
took 57 sets and have already sold 80
per cent of them.
One sister in the Shafter district has
set herself a goal of 30 sets. We feel
confident that as she thus aims so high
the Lord will abundantly bless her.
The other morning in a very short
space of time one of the members of
the office family placed nine sets with
her business contacts.
Let us all rally to the call and do our

City Colporteur Work
Brother Louis Morrison has just written a wonderful experience which shows
how God is blessing him in our great city
centers:
"Some time ago I sold a large order
of our books to a lady, but this lady, who
later accepted the truth, had no money
to pay for them. However, she did have
a set of books on education that cost about
$100. She gave me these in payment for
our books she ordered of me. The amount
I needed for them was $25.00, so I spoke
to a lady who previously purchased some
of our books from me. She said she
could not afford them, but I finally persuaded her to take them, receiving a
$5.00 deposit.
"I left her home glad to get rid of
the books, but there was a strong conviction in my heart that all was not right,
as it would be very hard for her to pay
me the balance. All that day I was
troubled about this deal. That evening r
plead with God to show me if I had done
wrong, and if so I would make it right.
Last night I saw this lady in a dream.
She was standing with outstretched hands
pleading for money. When I awoke this
morning I asked God to forgive me, and
promised to go to the lady and ask her
to cancel her order for this set of books.
I left her with joy in my heart.
"I worked all morning without taking
a single order. At noon I plead with the
Lord to bless me this afternoon. The Lord
heard me. I came to a barber shop and
said to the man, 'Are you a Christian?'

canvass, a customer came in to be shaved.
The barber didn't pay any more attention
to me, but I kept on with my canvass.
Before I finished the customer said,
`Never mind talking so much, what is
your book worth?' I told him $5.50. 'All
right,' said he, 'give me one.' I immediately began to make out the order and
asked him for $2.00 deposit. 'All right'
he said, 'here it is, but I want my wife
to see this book. She will be here in a
few minutes. She is a Christian Scientist.' When I heard that I said, 'Sir, I cannot wait, I must go,' (hoping to get out
before his wife came in) but just as I was
putting the money in my purse, in comes
the wife. At the request of the husband
I was compelled to show the book to her.
To my surprise, after I had given her
the canvass, she turned to her husband
and said, 'It is a good book: `All right
then, wife, let's take five of them. We
can give away four and keep one for ourselves,' and gave me an order for four
in the cloth and one in the Keratol. When
the order was signed, I requested and
received 'a seven-dollar deposit to bind
the order.
"The barber, who was also a Christian
Scientist, was so impressed that he gave
me an order for one in the keratol, with
a good deposit. This brought my total
sales up to $36.00 in that shop.
"When I left the shop, I canvassed
about a half block and came to a house
and the lady said to me before T could
finish my canvass, 'How much is that
book? Just tell me the price, I'll take one.'
I said, `$7.00 in the best binding.' All
right," she said, 'I'll take it.' She gave
me a $2.00 deposit. Just then a sudden
thought came to my mind concerning the
encyclopedia, so I told her about the
books. To my surprise she said, 'I'll take
them,' and paid me in full, in advance.
"It was now time to go home. My
orders that afternoon amounted to $43.00
for 'Bible Readings,' and $25.00 for the
Enclycopedia, with $35.00 cash in my
pocket. I praise God for it.
"About a month ago, a lady gave me
an order for our books amounting to
$49.50 with a deposit of $39.50. That
day God blessed me with $72.50 worth of
orders in about one hour, with $42.50 in
cash deposit. I pray daily that God will
keep me humble and I ask an interest
in your prayers."

Glendale Church To Be
Dedicated
The members of the Glendale church
have been working for some time to clear
the debt on the church building. Sabbath, April 9, a unique service was held
and the goal was reached. Instead of
taking the offering in the usual way, the
people came forward with their gifts and
laid them on a table that had been placed
below the pulpit. The pastor and elders
led the way, followed by the members of
the choir, then the congregation. It was
an impressive sight as the four lines of
people passed, one from the balcony and
one from each of the three sections of
the main floor, and placed their offerings
there. It took only a few minutes, yet
was deposited
in that few minutes
on the table.
Next Sabbath, April 16, the Glendale
church will be dedicated, free of all debt.
The dedicatory service will be held in the
afternoon at three o'clock. Elder A. L.
Baker will give the addres sand the dedicatory prayer will be offered by Elder
P. E. Brodersen. Elder G. A. Roberts,
A. G. Daniells, and J. E. Fulton will
also have a part in the service. The note
which represented the last of the church
indebtedness will be burned. The choir
and a male quartet will provide special
music.

particular tax upon our giving, and behold, what a goodly number of additional
mission enterprises result.
With the 1932 Budget requests, the
total of our twelve annual Big Week campaigns swells our missions outlay to $1,774,030, with 379 separate projects resulting. No matter what one's special
mission interest may be, it will be represented in the long list of widespread enterprises now in operation.
The 1932 Budget embraces fifteen
medical items, with thirty-three under
"Class I" listing. Besides these fortyeight items are the many others for publishing and educational enterprises. One
can but marvel at the extent of this Extension Fund. So'inuch is done with comparatively little, in view of the many projects benefitted by the fund. The magnitude of the Big Week results grows upon
us as we see what is being accomplished
through this effort in all the world. Each
one of the 379 projects reports a volume
of work which is both interesting and
gratifying; and when viewed as a multiplied whole, the great work set in operation almost staggers our comprehension.
And besides, the results in relief of suffering, hearts cheered and souls enlightened cannot be measured by figures.
How far, then does the Missions Extension Fund carry the gospel out beyond
the range of regular channels? None of
us can tell; but we do know that God can
bless human effort far beyond anything
we can plan or determine. Eternity alone
can reveal the history of the church militant, as she plants the standard of truth
in every stronghold of the enemy, and
becomes the "church triumphant." Just
now "we are granted the blessed privilege
of gathering sheaves in the great harvest;
and every soul saved will be an additional
star in the crown of Jesus, our adorable
Redeemer. Who is eager to lay off the
armor, when by pushing the battle a little
longer he will achieve new victories and
gather new trophies for eternity?"—Mrs.
E. G. White, in Review and Herald,
Oct. 25, 1881. Surely not one of our
number will be found missing as we
launch into the great opportunity afforded
by the Big Week of 1932.
L. A. HANSEN,
Gen. Con f. Medical Dept.
When we think of 379 mission enterprises,—publishing plants, mission training schools, hospitals and dispensaries—
established through the Mission Extension Fund, we may regard these largely
as just that much more gain than we
otherwise would have had. Our general
mission funds go to the establishment and
support of such work as comes in the
regular order of mission calls, and we
might be tempted to think that we are
able to do only just about so much.
The Missions Extension Plan does just
what the name indicates,—it extends our

WARWICK WEST.
Wadsworth Church
Several months have passed since a
report of the work has been given from
this district. The Sunday night evangelistic services show a excellent increase in
the attendance and interest and many
homes have been opened for Bible studies
as the result of these meetings. Sunday
night, March 27, following the sermon
on, "The Origin of Easter," fourteen
were baptized, two of this number from
the Pasadena church No. 2. Others
will follow this number in the next baptism. The thirteenth Sabbath offering of
March 26 amounted to $342.00. This is
more than our goal of $1.00 per member.
For the years 1930 and 1931—as reported at the conference session at Glendale—the believers in the three colored
churches numbering Dec. 31, 1931, about
412, gave to the world-wide work through
tithes and mission offerings $38,312.94.
Adding to this the local funds raised,
they gave a total of $49,060.08. No small
sum when it is recognized that these members are small wage earners.
As far as we can ascertain, every member is of good courage in the Lord, each
one anxious to be found faithful in little
things as well as the greater responsibilities. A Red Cross Nurses' class has been
organized with about forty enrolled, cottage meetings are being held by the members as well as the pastor of the church;
every Sabbath morning service is an occasion for the pastor to invite the many
visitors to accept the Lord Jesus. From
these and the other services held every
night in the church, those older in membership as well as the younger ones keep
in constant touch with the things of the
Master. The outlook is exceedingly
bright.
