Together Let Us Reach the People

Fellow Member:Thank you for helping in the great Annual Ingathering program. The

dual objective o f seeking souls and soliciting funds has been successfully achieved in past years. This year’s results should be better and greater, for time is limited. Jesus will soon come! You will share a blessing as you participate in the current endeavour.

*\ The W hy o f Ingathering ^n r

'y For over 71 years we have conducted our Annual Ingathering Crusade. This is y§ a many-sided evangelistic program. These are some of the objectives of this §

ministry: ^To reach every home and business, §

To bring the love and hope o f Jesus Christ ^to every individual, g

§To encourage Bible study by enrolling people ^

in a Bible course, ^

To have prayer with as many individuals §§ as possible, §4 §| To provide Christian literature, ^

§ To give every individual an opportunity to §§ contribute an offering fo r the financial§ support o f our world-wide mission work,

y To locate individuals who might be interestedy in worshipping with or joining the Seventh-day§ Adventist Church.

God blessed our efforts last year with a $33,069.39 increase over the previous year. For the enthusiastic support of the Ingathering Crusade we are most grateful to every Seventh- day Adventist Christian. As we watch for

Ingathering Past and Present

souls in this year’s Crusade, God will give us souls and the funds necessary to minister to his children at home and abroad. To keep up with inflation and the normal growth of our church the General Conference is recommend­

ing a 17% increase in this year’s Crusade which amounts to ten million dollars for North America.

Together Let Us Reach the PeopleOne of the

greatest mission­ary thrusts of the Church is now taking place. Everwhere G od’s people are making their Annual In­gathering Crusade contacts. W hat a heaven-given op­portunity to share with everyone, everywhere the

message of God and receive an offering. We must remember that the people are blessed as they give.

Funds Matched by Alberta GovernmentThe Edmonton

Central church has used a community ser­vices offer card in their Ingathering bulletins for a number of years. People contacted in this way have attended the Five- day Stop Smoking clinics; others re­quested vegetarian

recipes and Bible studies.This year the idea of inserting the com­

munity services offer card has spread. The Calgary churches are inserting an invitation to come to one of the four churches in the city, and also an invitation to the Five-day Stop Smoking program.

Areas which were covered by the Ingather­ing brochure have the greatest response to the It Is Written program, and most of the Bible studies are from these areas. W hy not insert It Is Written logs in your Ingathering brochures?

Our goal in Alberta is to give every home in our province the opportunity to help in this worldwide ministry. For the past few years, the Alberta government has been matching the funds that have been raised for Ingathering in Alberta for International Development Aid. In practice, this amounts to 46% of the amount of money raised. The projects that have been helped by this means have been a soy milk factory in India, various agricultural and irrigation projects in Africa, and also more than 100 tons of food have been sent. In actual cash value, we have received over $200,000. from the Alberta government, and matching grants from the Canadian govern­ment last year.

W hat would happen if we each watched for souls during every contact? Hundreds and thousands of Bible studies would result and multitudes would be saved in G od’s kingdom. This must be the real objective of our In­gathering Crusade.

A few weeks ago I had the joy of inter­viewing Brother Jerome Gregg of the Toronto East Church. During the last year’s Ingather­ing Crusade he, along with one of his Sabbath School class members, was making Ingather­ing calls. They visited a particular home, spoke to a certain young lady and enrolled her in a Bible study course. As they met week after week for the study of G od’s word, one after another, the rest of the family joined in the study. Before many weeks had gone by, the entire family was united in Bible study

This year the funds will go for a water supply for the University of East Africa, in Kenya. Percy Paul, formerly of Kingsway and C .U .C ., is the director there. The more funds we can raise this year, the more money we will have in matching grants to help in these worthwhile projects.

W e also aim to introduce Jesus and the beauty of obeying Him, in every home. The results of good work done will only be seen in eternity.

Newfoundland - Looking Forward to the Lord’s Great Ingathering

Ingathering is close to the hearts of Newfoundland people. For some years now, New­foundland has led the world field in per capita In­gathering funds. We are looking forward to another good year.

Knowing that the return of our

Lord is near, we must work with a renewed zeal, keeping in mind that inflation demands more dollars. However, there is an even greater inflation of immorality which requires increasing spiritual resources. But we are thankful that where sin abounded, grace did more abound.

By G od’s grace, we shall endeavour to exceed last year’s goal and look forward to the LO R D ’S G REA T IN G A TH ER IN G .

and prayer. Today the entire eight members of the family are baptized members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

People are waiting! Let me share with you a couple of lines from an Ingathering letter that Elder Wilmot shared with me.

“You know I ’ve been trying to find people like the Seventh-day Adventist church mem­bers, to help me understand more about Jesus for five years now . . . I'm sure happy . . . these people found me. May the Lord bless all Seventh-day Adventists.”

Let us not keep anyone waiting to know Jesus. Let’s take the love of Jesus to every person, in every home.

British Columbia - Watch For and Call Back on Interests

A certain lady was Ingathering in a semi-rural territory. There a lady was con­tacted who ex­pressed an inter­est in studying the Bible. Our sister brought her a full set of study guides. Due to ill­ness it was nec­essary for our

sister to go to another part of the Conference.As things often develop, many months

went by - in fact almost two years before conscience and the voice of God was heeded and a return call made. Upon introducing herself after this long absence our Ingatherer was happy to find that the lady had remem­bered her. Upon inquiring about the Bible lessons she was told that they seemed too difficult and confusing so they were discarded after a number of months. Following this, another church group gave a series of studies to this family. Their teaching did not seem to agree with what she knew of the Bible so they were asked to discontinue studies. Following this there was a period when there were no studies, only discouragement and longing.

A t this juncture our member returned. She said to the lady, “Would you like me to sit down and study the Bible with you so you could understand it?” At this the lady wept, saying, “I ’m so happy, so happy that someone would come and explain the Bible only to m e.” The Ingatherer too shed tears, rejoicing in G od’s merciful providence.

Maritimes - Making Ingathering Soul Saving

About a year and a half ago we had to take our minister from the Island of Grand Manan due to lack of funds. It has been difficult to keep up contact but( three weeks ago five church members from Saint John went to the Island to

Ingather. They were well received and were amazed to find many interesting people. M rs. Christian reports that she found twelve people that showed a very keen interest in the things of God. They wanted her to come back.

It is our plan in the Maritimes to make Ingathering a glorious opportunity for soul saving.

Manitoba-Saskatchewan - Our Aim - Total Territorial Coverage

member this morning. Brother Mike Manchur, with the help of his good wife, has already covered the residential territory assigned to him and five other persons. They have already given out 800 Ingathering brochures, received $280.00, prayed in many homes, and found one lady who expressed dissatis­faction with her church and requested that the Seventh-day Adventist pastor come and study the teachings of our church with her. I believe that this experience is further proof that Ingathering, like any other phase of G od’s work, can be just as spiritual as we make it.

Ontario - Ingathering Queen Raises $2,400.00

Brother Dennis Marshall, Lay Activities Leader of the W est Tor­onto church re­ports that “ In­gathering 1978 was perhaps the most innovative campaign this church has ever witnessed.

“The campaign was launched on

November 12 with the ‘First Fruits ’ concept. The response was overwhelming. On the first day of the campaign, appropriately called ‘F irst F ruits’ Day, the church saw $ 1,200. in cash and pledges placed in the ‘First Fruits’ box. By the end of the campaign members had made personal contributions of $2,000. to reach the ‘First F ruit’ goal. The church went on to close Ingathering 1978 with a total of $12,300. for the Lord’s work.

“Sister Daisey Reid alone raised $2,400. in door-to-door solicitation and was crowned ‘Ingathering Queen’ of the W est Toronto church on January 16, at the Ingathering Victory Banquet.”

The in teresting th ing abou t this story and my subsequent v isit is th a t she was most receptive and is now attend­ing church and indicates a desire to make a commitment. This lady was made aware of our message through an Ingathering contact.

Conclusion o f a Series

Community Relations Day More Questions Answered

Q U ESTIO N : Should we honour a non- Adventist pastor?A N SW E R : I have many clippings which show that we have had success in giving these awards to non-Adventist pastors. It is tre­mendous when we can get another pastor to come into our church, sit down and listen to our minister preach. He may also bring his choir and many of his members to hear a Seventh-day Adventist pastor. Mrs. White has told us that we should strive to get close to ministers of other denominations. Q U ESTIO N : Should the honoured person give a speech a t the meeting?A N SW E R : This will depend on your church service. Generally speaking, the pastor pre­sents a sermon showing that Adventists are involved in the world about us and that no man is an island. The award can be presented before or after the message. I have found that it does pay to have remarks from the person receiving the award. The recipient will gen­erally state how much he appreciates what the church has done for him in giving the award. He will usually say some very favour­able comments about the Seventh-day

Adventist Church. They will be appreciated by the church members and can be quoted in news stories. It might be good to tell him beforehand that he may make some remarks. Let him know how long he will be speaking, five or six minutes.Q U ESTION: We celebrated this program last year. How much time should elapse before we celebrate it again ?A N SW E R : You can present an award every year. Some churches have observed it three or four years consecutively. The more it is done, the more it will be looked forward to. When done regularly, the newspapers become accustomed to the Seventh-day Adventists presenting a Community Service Award. When we present the award we are saying, “ It’s nice to be important, but it’s important to be nice. We appreciate what you have done.” There are hundreds of people in your community who are working to make it a better place to live.

Our missionary aim in the ’79 Ingathering pro­gram is that every able member en­deavour to make a personal visit to every home in his or her assigned territory, present­ing the Ingather­ing report pam ­phlet and appeal­ing to the people,

through their gifts and prayers, to have a part in this important phase of G od’s work. It is exciting to realize that thousands of pam ­phlets have already been passed out, and that every pamphlet has the potential of leading someone to Christ.

Arm Weary?by G .D . Strunk

Adventist Health M inistries

You don’t have to be an old person to have the experience of your arms growing tired when you reach up to comb your hair. After just a short while both males and females may become very arm weary, even in pain and a slight bit sickish when going through long procedures like blow-drying or putting in rollers. Even heavily muscled men may have this experience.

The procedure to correct this problem is the same as the one to be used for the person who is letting his shoulders become rounded and droopy. It is also capable of preventing as well as intercepting the condition of the upper spine bending too far forward (kyphosis). The person may be muscularly strong but a muscle imbalance has developed so that certain muscles in the upper back have become disproportionately weaker than opposing muscles in the front.

How do we correct the problem? While there may exist a few diseased states that must receive a specialist’s care, the vast majority can be greatly benefited by doing the following exercise once a day, 3-5 times per week. After the imbalance is corrected this exercise done once or twice a week will maintain the balance.

Lie face down (prone position) on a bed with your head toward a comer of the bed and your arms dangling over the edges. As you become stronger you may be able to do this

A hedge was around Job of old, a pillar of cloud and fire protected the Israelites; and God, in this corrupt age, has a wall against intemperance and moral degradation. It is the defense provided by temperance - a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It is the enemy’s supreme goal to break down this protection. “ So gradually does Satan lead away from the strongholds of temperance . . . that the highway to drunkenness is entered upon all unsuspectingly.” Temperance, p . 93.

The greatest avenue of attack by the enemy down through the ages upon mankind has been through the appetite or false craving

exercise lying on the floor.Extend your arms directly out from your

sides parallel to the ground or hands higher than parallel if possible. Turn the hands on their sides so that the thumbs are pointing upward toward the sky. T hat’s important! ! Then keeping the arms rigid and straight bring both hands together “above” your head. By “above” is not meant in relation to the floor or ground but in relation to your feet.

Keep your face down against the bed or floor while working the arm! While the arms are over the head with the thumbs still pointing upward, lift the hands further from the floor, keeping arms rigid. You may clasp hands over your head or keep them separate, your choice. Then return them in an arc straight out to sides. Rest, then repeat a few times.

This is a difficult exercise and may cause an unusual sense of strain. It is only because the upper and middle trapezius muscle which you are exercising has become so weak. After just a few days you will notice marked improvement when reaching overhead into the cupboard or combing your hair.

Many people (not all) who are continually having treatments for neck and shoulder pain can exercise themselves right out of the need for those treatments by this simple procedure.

Such an exercise is recommended as a prevention long before a problem sets in . For

Christ recognized this and met the foe on this major point. His temptation and victory “was to teach us the necessity of temperance,” says the Lord’s messenger. Counsels on Health, p . 125. Therefore “ Seventh-day Adventists should learn the meaning of tem ­perance” Temperance, p . 138 for Satan seeks to hinder them in this respect. “It is the plan and constant effort o f Satan to entangle the work of God in a supposed beneficient and excellent work, so that doors cannot be

those who regularly work out it should be included as a part of the routine. Many body builders and some dancers develop an assumed round shoulders effect, especially if they look in the mirror only from the front.

Small weights may later be held in each hand, being sure to hold them so that the thumbs are up.

Now put it to the test. If it hurts, or it’s a strain, or you can’t do it, you need to do it. Do it till it doesn’t hurt anymore. You’ll be glad you did.

Correct posture is more than of passing interest for the sake of lungs, muscle-pain and circulation. How important is this oft neglected discipline? W hen a child begins school if he or she has not been properly trained at home what is one of the first things to be attained?

“Among the fir s t things to be aim ed at should be a correct position, both in sitting and in standing. God made man upright, and He desires him to possess not only the physical but the mental and moral benefit, the grace and dignity and self-possession, the courage and self- reliance, which an erect bearing so greatly tends to promote.

Recognizing the Lord’s provision to this church, we should indeed be thankful and alert to resist the subtle allurements, willing to choose daily this self-control for victory which the Lord so graciously offers.

Quebec Camp Meeting - A Brief Report1979 Camp meeting at Camp Coureur

des Bois was a wonderful opportunity for joy and fellowship.

There were several highlights during this week on the mountain. Seven persons were baptized and one joined the church on pro­fession of faith.

On Sabbath, July 21, two ministers were ordained to the gospel ministry. They are Pastors M. Kis and Pierre Zita. Pastor and M rs. Kis have pastored the Longueuil church

for three years as well as assisting in the youth department of the conference. We wish G od’s blessings on this young couple who have accepted a teaching appointment at Canadian Union College.

Pastor Zita is well-known in Quebec and is now in charge of the eastern township district. These two families are committed to the work of the church.

Special messages by Elders Brooks and Berg were inspiring and the practical pre­

sentations on the home and family by Pastor and Mrs. Ron Flowers were especially ap ­preciated.

Emphasis on Christian education was presented by Kingsway’s business manager, John Guenin.

Quebec camp meeting will long be re­membered as a time of spiritual enrichment. Why not start planning right now to attend next year?

Pastor Rebsomen conveys to Pastor and Mrs. R. Rowers the appreciation of the audience for their family life series.

Attending his first camp meeting is Dr. G. Faniei, newly baptized veterinarian seen here at right with E. Delaporte.

John Guenin of Kingsway College encouraged Quebec youth to make Christian education a top priority.

Baptized are Paul Casty, Ron and Nicole Sydenham, Jessie Dupre, Esther Holder, Eleanor Smith, B. Paradis and R. Deschene.

This stronghold of temperance is G od’s last-day bulwark; therefore, the church is now called to place temperance “on an elevated platform.” Temperance, p . 165.

You and I can, therefore, right now, demonstrate our thankfulness in four important ways:

1. “Our first duty toward G od and our fellow beings is that of self-develop­m ent” Temperance, p. 137, and to “gather up all the precious rays of light upon the subject of Christian temper­ance.” Temperance, p . 191.

2. “The Lord has given us the work of teaching Christian temperance from a Bible standpoint.” Temperance,p. 239.

3. “Every church needs a clear, sharp testimony, giving the trumpet a certain sound. If we can arouse the moral sensibilities upon the subject of prac­ticing temperance in all things, a great victory will be gained against intem­perance and for temperance.” Tem ­perance, p . 244.

4. This Temperance Year 1979 especially gives us the call to a deep commit­ment of our lives and our means to advance this temperance truth to a needy world.

November 24 is a special W orld Tem­perance Sabbath in that we seek your dem­onstration of thankfulness for temperance truth. A t a time like this, we invite you to show your response to G od’s protection toward purity and holiness of life.

Will you give sacrificially and thankfully to God for the extension of our temperance program worldwide, Sabbath, November 24? The church and those who need it most are counting on your response to meet this Million Dollar Appeal for greater temperance outreach.

Plans to produce a 30-minute film of activities at C .U.C. were revealed as a feature of the Canadian Union College 1979-80 Campus Minis­tries program. The film is to be shown on a TV station which covers most of Central Alberta.

Students and staff o f C .U .C. outlined their 1979-80 evangelism plans in a deeply spiritual vesper meeting, Friday, September 14. Each one present in the well-filled church was asked, “ W hat are you going to do this year?” Before giving their answers, all were invited to follow the example of Jesus, who went to the cross for us.

Student leader for Campus Ministries is Chris Kinman. He is assisted by Jim Ryan, who co­ordinates the on-campus activities, and Eric Rajah, who leads this year’s off-campus outreach.

On-campus evangelism will feature several opportunities for devotions and decisions. Lawrence Bums will guide a group of students who will meet in a quiet out-door retreat, sometimes around a campfire, at 6:30 Sabbath mornings.

CLASSES TO BE HONORED:1955 and 1970

All C .U .C . graduates, former staff, former students and former board members are encouraged to attend.

Kingsway College is confronted with challenges today which demand the attention of every student, parent and friend of this Christian school. The ominous cloud of declining student enrollment - rising cost syndrome - is forcing the private schools and colleges to either close their doors or re­evaluate their effectiveness. The fact that Seventh- day Adventist schools are not immune is the challenge of education this year.

Basically, there are a number of reasons for the challenge before us. There is competition for the tax dollar that is keeping tuition costs of public educational institutions to a minimum. Private institutions are aware that major portions o f their operating expenses come from tuition charges and, recognizing that a large portion of students’ home financial backing is minimal, it seems evident that a programme must be inaugurated to care for the financial needs of the private institution.

For the past five to seven years, Kingsway College enrollments have declined by approxi­mately twenty-five students per year. This has naturally been a serious factor in providing quality education which is acceptable to the Adventist population of Eastern Canada.

It is encouraging this year to have our enroll­ment for the school year of 1979-80 increase by approximately thirty to thirty-five students. We are happy to see this trend because it means that even though there are fewer students per family in this country, yet more parents are accepting the true values of Christian education for their academy- aged children.

Powerful inflationary pressures are presenting critical problems for this school. For example, the electrical bill for Kingsway College has tripled over what it was four or five years ago. The cost of oil heating for our buildings is now five times what is was ten years ago and each year there is a large increase of maintenance and other utility expenses. Overhead and remodeling costs of facilities in compliance with government regulations relating to hiring students, fire protection and water regula­tions have made additional strains on the budget.

Kingsway College is frequently compared to academies and colleges in the U.S. and sometimes is questioned as to the reasons for the high cost of staff in operating this institution. Kingsway College operates under the Ontario system, therefore needs twenty-seven credits for graduation whereas most other schools require only twenty or twenty-one credits. This increase in the requirement necessitates one third more teaching staff than in any other sister institution. In addition, the advanced and general courses offered in Ontario require a much more costly system of education than is generally offered in our schools in the United States.

Despite these rather gloomy predictions, there is much for which we rejoice. Already mentioned has been the increase in the number of students enrolled in school this year, which will increase the funds available for operation. Secondly, we have had a good year with our vocational industries. They have provided student labor and the training to help support tuition costs.

At our last Executive Board meeting, we took an action to pursue our new redwood patio furniture department. W e are thankful that our gardens have produced well this summer. We are thankful for friends who have provided funds for the greenhouse. This greenhouse is now in operation and hopefully

our first crop will be ready in the latter part of November.

We are most grateful for the type of students who are on our campus this year. There is evidence of a positive and constructive spirit. The observed commitment is gratifying. The seriousness of pur­pose and the dedication to the task o f finishing G od’s work on the earth is much in evidence among the great majority of Kingsway College students and staff. Faculty and staff are hard working individuals who deeply sense the responsi­bility of providing spiritual leadership and a Christ- centered approach to education. There is a healthy exchange of ideas on campus without rancor or bitterness, which is in harmony with the intellectual pursuits of this Christian campus.

This college serves a large portion of the church membership. M ost o f our student body is composed of baptized church members. There is a greater percentage of minority group students on campus this year. The college receives approxi­mately $75,000.00 from the Canadian Union, for which we are thankful.

We look into the future of Kingsway College and suggest some immediate remedies for some of the problems:

1. That we continue with an aggressive student recruitment programme among the junior academies and elementary schools of Eastern Canada. That we place our emphasis on retaining students from previous years, and that our image in the community be consistent.

2. That we maintain a tight financial manage­ment and a close budgetary control over all aspects of instructional, auxiliary and in­dependent business operations. These busi­ness operations must be expected to show a consistent pattern of good financial opera­tion in the face o f changes in management or economic slumps.

3. Further expansions of school facilities must be planned and implemented to develop an image of a progressive school society. Major gifts must be sought and the message must be emphasized loudly and clearly that Kings­way College not only indoctrinates but educates in the best tradition of Seventh- day Adventist schools.

4. Contact with Kingsway College graduates will inspire current students and will help them realize that the quality of education offered here truly prepares for responsible performance in their chosen professions.

5. Greater emphasis must be placed on the many educational and geographical advan­tages of the college. Even more important, the future success of Kingsway College will be largely dependent upon the maintenance of a strong spiritual influence and environ­ment on this cam pus. This is not to suggest a hypocritical piety but a vital living commit­ment to the placing of Christ at the centre of every academic, social and recreational activity.

Kingsway College was established for the express purpose of preparing Christian youth for service to the church and to society. Ellen W hite, one of the leaders of our church, has written, “ There is no work more important than the educa­tion of our youth.” She then adds that church members should be “ thankful that in the providence

C om p u ter E d u cation P op u lar

Vol. 48, No. 20, October 18, 1979 11

of God our schools have been established and should stand ready to sustain them by their means.”

It is gratifying to hear parents say, “ We are praying for you and for our children. W e thank the Lord for the Christian environment which you have there.”

Kingsway College is looking toward a good school year. It is not without its problems but it is hopeful and it is grateful for the support of its clientele. W e do make one plea and that is especially to parents o f students who are not here. The plea is that you think about the sacrifice involved and the decision you have made to send your children to the public institutions, for the instruction given to us by God is that our youth should be in our schools.

Young people, a great year is ahead of us. The decisions we make, the sacrifices we give, and the joys o f working together will be ones that we will long remember. Make 1979-80 school year the best yet.

Sincerely yours,Leroy Kuhn

K in gsw ay H as M odern Fam ily S tu d ie s F a c ilit ie s

The Fam ily Studies department at Kingsway College is very well equipped and provides a pleasant atmosphere for learning.

Ten different classes are taught. In grades 9 through 12, a student can choose to take half credits, so if half a credit is taken each semester, a whole credit can be earned for the year. On the other hand, if a student has a particular interest in one aspect of Family Studies and is not so interested in another, half a credit can be given. In grades 9, 10 and 11, half credits can be earned in “ Clothing and Textiles,” including a sewing project of diffi­culty based on previous experience.

In grades 9 and 10, half credits can be earned in “ Foods and Nutrition” with emphasis on good nutrition and meal preparation. In grade 12, there is a more advanced course in which “Nutrition and Home M anagem ent” are studied. Counsels on Diet and Foods is used quite extensively in that course.

In grade 11, one semester is devoted to “ Family and Child.” Guest speakers, movies and short field trips add interest to this semester.

The second semester of grade 12 is devoted to “ Housing” : choosing a place to live, renting, buying, building, interior design, consumer econ­omics and choosing equipment. In connection with this course, field trips to local stores add valuable experience.

The grade 13 full credit course is the “ Canadian Family in Perspective.” It gives some sociological information. Individual projects on various family problems, socialization of children and ethnic groups that make up our population, are studied by class members and presented to the class. Guest speakers, movies, tapes, Adventist Hom e and Child Guidance are part of this course.

Another credit can be earned by students who work in the cafeteria. They are trained on the job and have one hour of formal class a week. This class has 9 people enrolled.

Besides 65 girls enrolled in Family Studies this year, there are also 11 boys. Enthusiasm among the boys is great as there are also 3 boys studying nutrition, 2 in the sewing class and 6 in grade 13 sociology.

Since so much is written in the Spirit of Prophecy about the importance o f learning the practical things, it is encouraging to see an increased number of students in these classes.

E ight J o in K.C. F acu lty an d S ta ffThis year we have been blessed with eight new

staff members to help provide leadership for the school.

Miss Nancy Daigle, an alumna of K.C., is the new supervisor for the morning cafeteria staff. She also helps with the preparation of breakfast and dinner. She not only enjoys cooking but is quite interested in nursing, crocheting, swimming and driving fast cars. Her future plans are to continue with nursing and to buy a fast sports car.

Miss Jo-Anne Easterbrook studied French and English at P .U.C. to attain her B.A. in these subjects. She also achieved her M aster of Arts in Education at Andrews University. She is teaching typing, Bible and English. Miss Easterbrook enjoys horseback riding, travelling, camping and reading. She is looking forward to a good school year.

Mrs. Dorothy Haughland, who has a Bachelor of Education degree in M athematics, comes to us from Winnipeg, Manitoba. In Winnipeg, she taught math, French, reading and Bible to grades 1 to 10. Her teaching responsibilities here include Bible and math. She enjoys swimming and other recre­ational activities. Looking ahead, Mrs. Haughland would like to receive a doctorate in mathematics.

Miss Ibi Igracki, an alumna of K.C. also, is our new Assistant Dean of W omen. She is also the office manager for P.I. Tool, and she is involved in the Industrial Training Plan in Oshawa.

Mrs. Clarleen Ivany is the part-time art teacher. She also is a computer operator for the Ontario Conference. She enjoys doing china painting, macramé, ceramics and swimming. Mrs. Ivany would like to get her W ater Safety Instructor’s Certificate and also further her knowledge in computer operating.

Pastor Allan Keiser studied at Andrews University and achieved his M aster of Divinity degree. He is glad for this opportunity to work with the youth at Kingsway as Director of Campus Ministries. He likes the hustle and bustle on the campus. In his spare time he likes basketball and football, music and enjoys reading. His motto is to go where the Lord leads.

Mrs. Kathy Rasmussen is the Secretary to the Registrar and Attendance Officer. Her hobbies are sewing, baking and crocheting. She would like to go back to school as a Keyboard and Music Education Major some day.

Mr. Darrell Sayler attended C.U .C . and studied Food Services at Andrews University. He is the supervisor o f the evening cafeteria staff and looks after the general preparation of supper. He enjoys cooking, but he also likes cycling and skiing. Mr. Sayler would like to become a Food Service Director.

L ittle L ak es - K .C .’s N e w e st In du stry

The interest in a new industry has been going on for the past two years, since the summer of 1977. The Little Lake Industries is an American- owned company operating out ofW ilitts, California, where all the parts for patio furniture for the United States are made. Mr. M. Sullivan is the President of the Company, and Mr. W. M arsh is the Executive Vice-President. Several academies in the United States operate assembly plants for Little Lake Industries.

Kingsway College received a request to set up not only an assembly plant but also the milling plant. After long preliminary discussions and ex­change of opinions, it has finally been decided that Kingsway College would open up a new industry, the Kingsway Redwood Vocational Training Pro­gram, on a one-year trial basis. A licensing agree­ment is, therefore, being worked out between Little Lake Industries and Kingsway College.

For the first year of operation Little Lake Industries will provide a general manager, and a supervisor for the installation of equipment. This supervisor, Mr. Ron Wise, comes from Georgia- Cumberland Academy where he has been manager for the local plant for many years and is used to working with students. He will be accompanied by a production manager, Mr. Bill Dalton, from the same plant who will stay with us for at least one year.

There will be openings for four full-time per­sonnel to operate machines and supervise students. The basis of remuneration will be on an hourly rate with incentive remuneration on piece-work within a group of students.

Kingsway’s Business Manager, John Guenin, stated in an interview that we already have orders amounting to approximately $750,000. and more to come if we can meet the deadlines. The first deadline is in December.

Besides milling and assembling patio furniture, from time to time there will be other jobs such as assembling toy tractors. There are already approx­imately 7,000 tractors to assemble before the end of October. The prospect is extremely bright, and we are convinced that the Lord is opening up new avenues for the vocational training of our students and to help them cover some of their financial needs.

A gricu ltu ra l P rogram P ro v e s S u c c e s s fu l

E xperim entKingsway College has developed over the

summer months a very important agricultural program. One aspect of this program concerns the utilization of the campus to grown its own vege­tables. The students had a hard time battling with the weeds; but with wonderful perseverance and good will, the school has already harvested a large quantity o f vegetables being used by the cafeteria - such as beans, com, cabbages, green peppers, tomatoes and potatoes. In some instances, the harvest has been so tremendous that we have had to sell some to those in the community.

Mr. Guenin commented during an interview, “ Looking to the future, we can also mention the plastic greenhouse which, at this very moment, protects the tomato plants from the cold. We have also planted some cucumbers, radishes and lettuce. We are very fortunate to be able to heat this 4,000 square foot greenhouse with waste wood from our College Woodwork.”

It is still in an experimental stage, and it is not known at this time how long the experiment will last, but it has definitely been decided to carry on as long as there is sufficient heat.

“ W e fully recognize that all this is a blessing from the Lord, and as was mentioned by a neigh­bour, ‘W e don’t understand how you managed to get such a good crop of potatoes since you have barely ever treated them for any kind of disease.’ We are convinced that, in spite of the tares, the Lord has protected our harvest and has rewarded the efforts of our students. Pray for us that we might always count the blessings of the Lord,” says Mr. John Guenin. by Wendy Wirsz

from musicians who have offered their services at the 1980 General Conference session has been most gratifying. The quality of musician­ship and the choice of music has been excellent. W e believe those in attendance at this business session of the church will receive a great blessing for the worship in music.

The deadline for musical entries was September 15, 1979, and we are happy to announce that the musical slots have been filled now. No more entries from North America will be considered by the General Conference Session Music Committee be­cause of this. Much appreciation is expressed to those who have taken time to submit cassette tapes for auditioning.

A 1978 Annual Council action strongly recommends premarriage education for every couple before a wedding is performed by a Seventh-day Adventist pastor. To provide pastors everywhere with tested materials for such a program Home and Family Service of the General Conference has sponsored a taskforce on marriage education. Led by Pastor Ron Flowers, and his wife K aren, this very skillful group included both professionals and laymen in the family-life field.

The material is ready for distribution. It includes three cassettes, background articles, tests, study outlines, and is built around a highly effective premarriage inventory de­veloped by the taskforce.

The materials are being distributed at cost in order to facilitate their use in every Adventist church. For more information write to Home and Family Service, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, 6840 Eastern Avenue N .W ., W ashington, D.C. 20012.
