Christ Within and Without
By LEONARD C. LEE, Pastor
Babylon New York Church
Someone asked a little boy what
salt was. He had a very good answer.
"Salt is what makes things taste bad
if it isn't in them."
Jesus said of His followers: "Ye are
the salt of the earth . . ." (Matt. 5:13).
But just what is a Christian? Many
people carry around the name who
have not the slightest idea of what it
stands for. If it were not for Christians
in this world with their ideals and
standards, their leavening influence,
this world would be a dreadful place.
In Romans 6:3, Paul speaks of
those who were "baptized into Jesus
Christ." If we as Christians were baptized into Christ we should be "in
Christ." That is just what Paul said
in Romans 8:1, "There is therefore
now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
In Galatians 3:27 Paul uses a different figure. "For as many of you as
have been baptized into Christ have
put on Christ." To be baptized into
Christ, to be in Christ, and to put on
Christ, certainly implies that we will
be covered with His character, His
personality and influence, as with .a
garment. Christianity is being wrapped
up in Christ, covered with the robes
of His righteousness.
In describing our relationship to
Christ, Paul uses another comparison
which at first seems to be contradictory. He says: "Know ye not your own
selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you,
except ye be reprobates?" (II Cor.
13:5).
Not only must Christ be the outer
covering of our lives so that they glow
with the presence of Christ, but He
must also be the heart and inner fire
that controls the motives. This is a
concept which is not easy to work
out in the life. It must be grasped by
the mind and accepted as the choice of
the will before it can be put into practice in the life.
Again turning to the apostle Paul
we have the figure of the crucifixion
of the old sinful nature and a resurrection with a new nature from above.
"For I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith of
the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me" (Gal. 2:20).
A Christian, then, in reality and
truth, is one who not only has accepted Jesus Christ as Master and
Lord, but who has allowed the very
Spirit and life of the Master to fill,
cover, and control his whole being. A
Christian must be an ambassador for
his Saviour, conscious that in word
and act and attitude it is his duty to
present a true picture of the love and
mercy and goodness of God.
Jesus lived here on earth as a man.
He faced trial and temptation, jealousy
and selfishness, in greater measure than
we will ever experience. He carried the
heaviest load any human being has
ever borne. Yet Jesus could say with
absolute truth and sincerity: "He that
hath seen me hath seen the Father ..."
(John 14:9).
Jesus is the example of every true
Christian. We should live such lives
that we can be conscious every minute
that the life and character that fills
and motivates our lives is from above
and not "of the earth, earthy" (I Cor.
15:47). The knowledge that we are
children of God born again in the
divine image should help us to walk
worthily as children of the King.
Those who are raised in royal families have a sense of destiny and high
purpose that sets them apart from the
careless throng. Those who have been
adopted into the heavenly family
should have a much greater sense of
loyalty and responsibility to rightly
represent their calling to the royalty
of the universe. The word "Christian"
should be more than a name or title or
profession, it should stand for fellowship with Christ, sonship with God,
and an eternal destiny.

The attention which our union conference papers gave to the medical education needs of Loma Linda University
was no doubt an important contributing factor to the 'fine offering which
was received on April 11, 1964. We
would like to take the same means to
thank every one who contributed to
this offering. The total reported to date
was over one hundred thousand dollars, which exceeds by almost fifty per
cent the offering taken a year ago.
With the ground broken for the new
Medical Center and construction in
progress to replace fire-damaged Risley
Hall, this offering gives a fine boost to
our program. We are anxious that the
University shall offer the highest type
of professional and graduate education
to our own qualified young people, and
we greatly appreciate the co-operation
which the church members give in offerings, supportive attitudes, and in
prayers for the advancement of the
work here.

Statistically Speaking
One in 21
An Alcoholic
At least one in every twenty-one
adults in the United States is alcoholic
by medical definition, stated Herbert
H. Hill, executive director of Alcohol
Problems Association of Seattle, Washington, in an address on July 28 before
the Institute of Scientific Studies for
the Prevention of Alcoholism, held on
the campus of American University.
Addressing the ninth annual session,
Hill, who is associate director of the
Institute, told some fifty students that
"as you walk down 'Main Street,
U.S.A.' every twenty-first adult you
meet is alcoholic, statistically speaking."
Hill divided alcoholics into four
classifications, of which the first three
have normally balanced personalities:
(1) catastrophe drinkers, who react to
some cataclysmic experience; (2) pressure drinkers, who have a pre-existent
problem; (3) sensitivity drinkers, who
react to increased pressures of life; and
(4) those who have personality deficiencies and who are social misfits.
Pointing out the difference between
the "social drinker" and the "reward
drinker," Hill said "the 'social drinker'
is one who drinks only very small
amounts, seldom drinks except on social occasions . . . and tolerates well
the mild euphoria and easing of tensions associated with his drinking.
"The 'reward drinker' tends to keep
up with, or even a bit ahead of the
crowd in his drinking, finds drinking
heightens his pleasure at social events,
prefers occasions where alcoholic refreshments are served, and enjoys a
marked release from tension as a result of drinking," stated Hill.
Hill said he becomes impatient with
some of his abstaining friends who feel
that drinking is foolish behavior because the individual gets "nothing out
of it." "In the case of the 'reward
drinker' they are certainly missing the
point," remarked Hill. "It is because
he is 'getting something out of it' that
the 'reward drinker' will keep on
drinking—even to the point of selfdestruction."
He said the tendency has been to
place dramatic values on the transition
from social drinking to problem drinking by talking about such symptoms

as gulping, hang-overs, and blackouts,
when the simple truth is the subtle and
meaningful role of alcoholic as a "reward" emerges so unobtrusively in the
life pattern of the individual as to
leave him unaware of its growing importance to him, nor of his own ability
to cope with life without it.
"I think too much is made of the
`escape value' of drinking in the life
of the problem drinker and the alcoholic, and too little is made of the
`reward potential' of alcohol for the
social drinker," stated Hill. "I believe
it would be more effective and more
understandable to the average social
drinker. . . . if he were helped to understand that alcoholism does not occur because an individual seeks
dramatic 'escape from reality' in
drunkenness.
"Rather it is because the nature of
alcohol in its effect upon the central
nervous system is such as to create
illusions of competence, security, and
skill, which lead one in the face of insecurity and tension to return unwittingly to the illusion until the capacity
for reality is diminished and the appeal
of 'escape' is irresistible."
Sponsored by the National Committee for the Prevention of Alcoholism,
the Washington Institute began July
27 and concluded August 6.
M. A. JONES
Muslims Accept Christ
in Indonesia
Marajati Kalitouw opened her eyes
wide in wonderment. "Can it be so,"
she thought, "that this teacher, a former Muslim and son of a hadji (a
teacher of Islam who has studied in
Mecca), is telling me the truth?"
But there it was, right in the Koran
just as the teacher had said—that there
is a true Christian group that does not
eat unclean foods. A Christian group!
In the Koran!
Could it be that her husband, a respected police officer, was justified in
worshipping Allah on Saturday instead
of on Friday as do all the eighty million faithful Moslems in Indonesia?
Was it possible, as he hoped, that if she
continued to study with this Christian
they might be able to resolve their differences and live happily together? As
long as her fanatical zeal for Islam
matched his steadfastness for his newfound faith in Jesus there could be no
reconciliation between them; a divorce
seemed eminent.
Well, perhaps she should continue
to study. It was worth a try, and if she
could be convinced from the Koran
that Jesus Christ was more than a mere
prophet, that He was in truth the Son
of God, then she might—well, there
was no harm in investigating anyway.
But she would remain firm in one
stipulation—they must study from the
Koran, for was it not the true revelation from Allah?
Faithfully Pastor Burhanuddin visited
the home twice each week for studies
with Mrs. Marajati Kalitouw. Often it
seemed his efforts were doomed to
failure, but in faith and with much
prayer he persisted. How well he recalled his own attitude toward the
truth and the fact that even now he
was considered an outcast by the Muslims in Palembang, his home in South
Sumatra.
After three months studying concerning the Christ in the Koran, Mrs.
Kalitouw was finally willing to com-
3
pare its teaching with the Bible. Gradually, through the sweet influence of
His Holy Spirit, Jesus in all His beauty
and holiness was revealed to this dear
lady's heart. She longed to be ready to
meet Him, and she decided to cast her
lot with His church. Now her zeal for
Jesus and His truth knew no bounds.
The fact that theirs was now a united
and happy Christian home was in itself
a powerful witness to others. She began to work earnestly for her parents
and neighbors.
Mr. Kalitouw now being pensioned
from police service, they moved back
to their home suburb of Bandung.
Each afternoon Sister Marajati could
be seen visiting the homes of her neighbors telling them about the true Christian group spoken of in the Koran who
do not eat unclean foods. She assured
them that this people is even more careful about their diet than the Muslims.
Surprised and incredulous at first, for
they had never heard of Christians
who did not eat unclean foods, her
friends refused to listen to this newborn Christian. But Sister Marajati continued to witness for Jesus, and after
a while several families gathered every
Wednesday evening to hear Pastor Burhanuddin teach them from the Koran
as he had done for her.
Soon a lay family from our hospital
church in Bandung moved to this community and started a branch Sabbath
school for the group. Since that time
two baptisms have taken place. The
conversion of each of these new members makes a wonderful story of the
redeeming love of Jesus.
Some weeks ago a man named Iing
was employed by Sister Marajati.
When Friday came Iing went to his

employer with he apology: "I am
sorry, but it wil be impossible for me
to come to w k tomorrow or any
Saturday therea er."
"Oh, that is rfectly all right," replied Mrs. Mar jati. "I was going to
tell you that y u need not come to
work tomorrow, for we do not work
on that day eit er. You see, the seventh day of the eek is God's holy day
and Seventh-d Adventists neither
work or do bus ess on that day."
Mr. ling w greatly surprised to
hear this. "I th ught that no one but
my family kept Saturday. The custom
has been hande = down from father to
son for many enerations. We have
been taught th this is the true holy
day of Allah."
Immediately ister Marajati invited
him and his f. ily to attend Sabbath
school and w ship services in her
home next day. Since that time he and
his wife have en faithful attendants
every Sabbath.

Food Service Workshop
A ten-day food service workshop,
held at the Charles F. Kettering Memorial Hospital near Dayton, Ohio, from
July 6 to 16 drew participants from five
union conferences, including Frank
Howe of Fuller Memorial Hospital,
from Atlantic Union. The workshop
was termed a decided success by Clinton A. Wall, KMH food service director, who played host and served as
general co-ordinator.
Sponsored by the Medical Department of the General Conference,
lectures and demonstrations were geared to Seventh-day Adventist food service personnel in church-related institutions. Approximately thirty specialists,
including guest lecturers, instructors,
and students, explored the theme: "The
Finest Food Service for the Best in
Health." Among subjects covered specifically were preparation of fruit and
vegetable salads, meatless entrees, fresh
and frozen vegetables, breads, deserts,
and hors d'oeuvres.
Students were given opportunity to
practice in the hospital kitchen under
skilled supervision and carried home
with them a "visible enthusiasm for
improving their own methods," according to Wall.
Three field trips were part of the
workshop and took the group to the
Proctor and Gamble research department, Cincinnati, to the Cincinnati
Produce Market, and to Dayton's 800bed Miami Valley Hospital.
Working closely with Clinton Wall
were Mrs. Alice Marsh, chairman,
Home Economics Department, Andrews University; Marie Larson, in-
structor in quantity food preparation,
University of Illinois; Mrs. Darlene
Schmitz, assistant director of food service for KMH; Miss Selma Chaij, therapeutic dietitian; Steve Ashcraft, baker;
and George Woodford, former chef of
Dayton's exclusive Moraine Country
Club and now entree cook at KMH.

A Unique School of Nutrition
Sunday evening, June 14, saw the
close of a unique cooking school that
had its origin in several of the FiveDay Plans offered for smokers in the
5
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER
Albany area. Much interest had been
generated in the dietary habits of Seventh-day Adventists, especially in the
area of high protein-low cholesterol
dishes. It was decided to start the four
evenings of study and demonstration
with a smorgasborg of these various
dishes so they could be sampled and
then the recipes given to those who attended.
For four Sunday nights this program was under the direction of Mrs.
Mary Green, conference Bible worker,
and the able assistance of other ladies
in the Albany church. It was thrilling
to see how friends of our church, as
well as new members and those taking
Bible studies, were there each evening
studying carefully the question of adequate nutrition. As one new convert
put it: "Truly this is a complete message for it is for the body, soul, and
spirit."
Without a doubt, when the Lord
gave to this people the health message,
He placed in our hands a marvelous
entering wedge. Today there is interest in the matter of healthful living,
as never before. Men and women who
really think, want to know. But again
those who will come are those who
have been befriended by an outgoing,
friendly Adventist. And how it helps
to be able to give a loaf of whole-wheat
bread — home-baked — to a neighbor!
Ladies, there is a real sermon in it.
S. L. FOLKENBERG
Evangelistic Co-ordinator
Baptism at Olean
Public evangelism is indeed one of
the wonderful agencies God has designed to persuade men to accept
Christ. In the midst of great competition by the media of television, theaters,
sports, gambling, etc., one is often
prone to wonder whether the day of
tent or hall evangelism is an obsolete or
antiquated idea.
Recently the fallacy of this type of
philosophy was forcefully impressed
upon the pastor and constituents of the
Olean district. After a series of thirteen
Sunday night lectures held in the
Olean church, a baptism was conducted
on June 6, in which seventeen precious
souls followed Jesus into the watery
grave.
Four of these candidates joined the
remnant church directly through the
public evangelistic campaign, and four
partly through this crusade.
Baptismal class at Olean, New York
The accompanying picture of the
group shows sixteen persons, one of the
candidates slipped away before he
could be included in the photo. Yes,
preaching the momentous and distinctive truths of the gospel still holds
a great thrill for the preacher and for
the hearers. Several families are presently engaged in cottage meetings as a
result of this lecture series, and another baptism is planned for the late
fall.
Let us pray for these newly baptized members and the work in the
Olean area of the Southern Tier.

• A Letter from Norwich
Dear Sister Churches of the New York
Conference:
We have received the check in the
amount of $445.53 from Elder Mills,
for which we most sincerely thank
every church member who remembered us last November when the offering was taken for our new church
building.
The Lord has been very good to us
and we have been given a suitable lot
on West Hill, just outside the city of
Norwich, on which we plan to build
our church.
Our pastor was told where we might
buy thirty-one elm pews in very good
condition at a very low price. Upon
investigation and counsel with the
building committee, we decided to purchase them.
John Milton is working untiringly
giving us counsel, and aiding in purchasing materials, etc. for our church.
We have faith to believe that, with the
Lord's help, the building program will
be started by fall.
Again we thank you, one and all,
for your gift to us in this time of need.
May God richly bless you.

New C urch School in
Roche er, New York
The Jeffers Avenue church school
opened its do s for the very first time
last September, 1963. The idea of
such a venture was born in the mind
of the pastor, S. A. Hutchins, early last
year. A survey of the membership last
spring revealed that there was a good
group of prospective students. This
motivated Elder Hutchins to step out
on faith with concrete, specific plans.
Invaluable counsel and assistance
was secured from Emerton C. Whidbee, Northeastern Conference educational superintendent. The conference
itself made a substantial appropriation.
One member, Mary Davis, donated
$200. These contributions, together
with funds raised by the church membership set things in motion toward
realization of a cherished dream.
A newly elected school board met
for the first time, June 10, 1963, at
which time officers were elected and
plans made for redecorating the rooms
on the first floor to be used by the
school. The classroom and principal's
office on the second floor were renovated also. Tile was laid in the office
and in the hallway. The basement
area and rest rooms were painted. God
rewarded faith by providing a way for
all necessary school furniture to be
secured for a nominal fee from the
local school board. What encouragement this was to the membership!
Forty pupils were enrolled and ready
for the "4 R's": "reading, 'riting, 'rithmetic, and religion." Later Elder Hutchins was able to assist in the school
program by conducting regular gymnasium classes each day for the boys
and girls. Theresa Saulsbury made a
substantial contribution and before
long the school was able to purchase
a ditto machine. This spring Herbert
Shorter contributed the flagpole from
his home to the school, and the deacons
presented the school with a new American flag.
Informative Home and School programs were held each quarter conducted by the Home and School leader,
Jonnie Mae Dozier.
In April, 1964, Natelkka E. Burrell,
formerly of Oakwood College and the
General Conference Education Department, joined the teaching staff.
We are grateful to God to be able to
present this review in word and picture of the Jefferson Avenue Elementary School during its very first year,
1963-64. The school closed on a sound
financial basis as the result of donations
and faithful tuition receipts from parents. Pray with us for God's continued
blessings during the coming school
year. In sincere thankfulness, we exclaim: "What bath God wrought!"

Opening of New Wing at
Parkview Memorial Hospital
On May 17 the new wing on the
Park view Memorial Hospital was dedicated as the "C. Earle Richardson
Memorial Wing" for obstetrical patients. There are eight beds in this new
unit with a new 14-bassinett nursery,
formula room, isolation nursery, nurses'
station, utility room, patients' sitting
room, and a new office for the director
of nurses.
The construction of this muchneeded wing was made possible by the
will of the late Dr. Richardson. Dr.
Richardson was not a Seventh-clay Adventist, but he, according to his attorney, held the local Seventh-day Adventist doctors in high esteem and recognized the good work being done by
them and their associates in advancing
the medical standards and facilities in
the Brunswick area.
A section of the wing, containing
1300 square feet on the east side of
the new corridor, remains unfinished.
When funds are available to complete
this section, a new delivery room, utility room, three labor rooms, and additional central service space will be provided. Only $20,000 is required to complete this work.

by one of the teachers, Mrs. Perry, that
we might be able to visit for a moment
as a school with Gov. John H. Reed.
The children all had a chance to speak
a few words and shake hands with him.
Governor Reed was presented with a
wonderful book. The Seventh Day, by

of
"Cloud Cathedral" Evangelism
Lowell Church Dedication
What has been known as the "air
bubble" or "airatorium" has been
named the "cloud cathedral" and is
being used by Elder Kidder and Pastor
Gilley for public evangelism for the
first time in Pawcatuck, Connecticut.
A fine lot on a prominent corner was
secured near the business district of
Pawcatuck, Connecticut, and Westerly,
Rhode Island, and meetings started on
Saturday evening, July 25. The meetings will continue until August 15.
One hundred twenty-five were present for the opening meeting and prospects are good for a fine attendance in
this resort community.
During the spring all of the mechanical equipment was built into a trailer
which was painted white to match the
cathedral. All chairs, platform sections,
and other equipment is stored in the
trailer after the airatorium is dissembled and thus it is ready for quick
assembly in another place.
This attractive structure is an attention-getter as many are curious as to
how it is supported. It is the plan to
use this structure throughout the summer months for public evangelism.
Just one year and a half elapsed between the time the Lowell church
members purchased their present
church building and liquidated their
debt making it possible for them to
dedicate their church on July 11.
Elder Mattingly led out in the program for the day which was also a
farewell day for him. He and his family will be returning to mission service
shortly. After studying the French
language in Europe for six months,
they will return to the Congo.
As a farewell gift the congregation
contributed to the purchase of a portable transistor Lowrey organ that can
be operated from a car battery and
which will be used for evangelistic
meetings.
Elder Mills, the conference president, preached the dedicatory sermon;
Elder Mattingly led out in the Act
of Dedication; and Elder Harms, conference treasurer, offered the dedicatory prayer. George MacLaren, local
elder, gave a history of the church
and offered the benediction. Visitors
is shown the "cloud cathedral" and a large billboard announcing the evangelistic meetings in Pawcatuck,

Fi t Daily
Voice f Prophecy
Con ct Signed
As a result o
ing during cam
to announce
tract for the fir
ecy program
the evangelistic offermeeting we are happy
signing of the condaily Voice of Prophour conference.
Starting on Monday, September 14,
the Voice of Prophecy will be heard
daily over the Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Station WBNE-FM from 5:00
to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. WBNE-FM is a new FM station
operating at 50,000 watts at 104.5
megacycles. The signal of this station
should reach as far as Boston and
Providence. Presently the station operates at 20,000 watts with the call letters
WFGM-FM.
At present we are exploring the possibility of other stations carrying the
daily program under the sponsorship
of local business and professional men.
Anyone who may have an interest
in sponsoring such a program should
contact the writer. He will in turn
make the local station contacts for
rates and time. The expense of sponsorship can, in many cases, be charged
off as a business expense.
Let us pray that this broadcast may
reach into the homes of millions who
will then listen to the truth.
Evangelistic meetings in various localities are planned as a follow-up to
the broadcasts.

It Is Written to Be
Aired
It Is Written will be aired over
television for the ,first time in our conference when the program starts on
September 27 over UHF station
WRLP, Channel 32, in Northfield,
Massachusetts. The program will be
seen and heard from 6:30 to 7:00 each
Sunday evening for thirty-nine weeks.
With this program we launch out
into another phase of evangelism
through which we will contact many
new homes not reached by the Voice
of Prophecy or Faith for Today.
The services of our people in the
WRLP area are needed to publicize
the program and also to follow up the
interest.
Your prayers for the success of this
evangelistic venture are solicited.

insurance mpanies, oil companies,
and indust al concerns, as well as retail and w esale businesses.
Bond, formerly in charge
Verlyn
of the college press at Walla Walla,
Washington, has been appointed the
general manager of the plant and will
seek to expand the business to cooperate with our academies and colleges across the country for the training of personnel in sales and the
graphic arts. It is hoped that the corporations can expand their business
not only in the plant in Taunton where
from 175 to 200 are constantly employed, but to school plants where
additional work can be furnished students who are seeking an education.
The present plant has more than
doubled its size since 1952.
Mr. and Mrs. Cross will continue
with the company for at least five
years to help guide in the development of sales and in the efficient transfer from one administration to another. When one realizes that the life

one cannot help but appreciate the
philanthropic and consecrated desires
of these dear people.
It was voted by the Atlantic Union
Conference to ask the full Atlantic
Union Conference Committee to serve
as the board of trustees for each of the
organizations, and that a small executive committee of nine compose the
working committee for the carrying on
of the business of the institution. Those
