church will occur through individuals as they survive the shaking and make their eternal decision at the time of the enforcement of the National Sunday Law (7BC 976). Let us begin now to prepare, heart and hand, for this law, which will result in the time of “no buy-no sell”. Your Brother,

Beauty and

Nutrition How much better can you get than sunflowers? Beautiful and nutritious, too! Sunflowers are easy to grow. The seeds and oil are great sources of Vitamin E, K and Omega 6. In thinking ahead to times when oil may be difficult or impossible to obtain,

we are recommending a small oil press available from our friends, Robin and Lisa East, who live at the scenic Wewoka, Oklahoma camp grounds. Email Robin and Lisa at )if you would like to inquire about the press.

Lamplight in the Chapel

In Matthew 13:30 we are told that both good wheat and bad tares will be in the church until the harvest. The harvest is the end of the world (SR 379). Would it be any wonder, then, that some will look at the church and see that it appears rather rough and untidy because of the tares that are pre-sent? Would this be a reason to form a ministry declaring that the tares

should be weeded out prior to the harvest? Not according to 2 SM 68-69 where we are told that we are not to do this work, but we are to leave it with Jesus (Matthew 13:28-29). He wants to give opportunity for the wheat to make a final decision to remain wheat and for tares to declare themselves as weeds forever. In Ezekiel 33:19 we see

that the tares also have an oppor-tunity to become wheat, while in verse 18 the “wheat” may choose to commit iniquity and be lost. Jesus says, “Leave that work to me and I will do the harvesting at the end of the world. The Spirit of Prophecy (AA 90) goes on to explain that the church will appear enfeebled and defective, but is still the object of

God’s supreme regard. May we have the attitude of God, accompanied by love and prayers, for a church that contains weeds and wheat and may not look perfect until Jesus comes. Perfection of the

By the Fireside

We had so many heart warming experiences during our eastern tour this fall, staying with church members who opened their homes and hearts to us. Hundreds of people responded to God’s call for rededication and two deacons requested rebaptism. Two churches left messages asking us to extend our schedule to include them on this tour of duty, but we were unable to do so. We also had an offer to translate You Can Survive! into Romanian.

Cabin Burned

The cabin we affectionately referred to as Dandy-Lyin’ for the past 35 years burned last month while we were away on our speaking tour. A young man was staying there who is helping Jed with farm projects. No one was hurt, but the loss is financially ($10,000 plus a brand-new Flame View cook stove!) and emotionally difficult. This is the original cabin that held our belongings when we first moved to the Peace Country. We have begun the process of rebuilding Dandy-Lyin’ and know the Lord is in the business of restoration. If you would like to help this young man, please forward your offering to us at Box 840, Chetwynd, BC V0C 1J0.

Garden Saved by a Miracle

The first part of August, neighbours began telling us sad stories of grasshoppers demolishing not only their entire garden but decorative plants in their window boxes and patio pots as well! We kept watch-ing our garden for damage, wondering when the plague would hit us and we would not have enough food for our Family Camp guests. Just before Family Camp, when Linda went out to pick some raspberries for breakfast she noticed an abundance of robins that morn-ing. As she watched the robins enthu- siastically attacking the grasshop-pers in the garden she realized that the Lord was answering our prayers for protection in a very special way! Those of you at our 2010 Family

Camp will recall that in spite of draught conditions during July

and August our garden held an abun-dant harvest. We had bumper crops of greens (with no grasshopper holes!), extra large onions, and turnips the size of soccer balls! We thank the Lord for strengthening our faith that He will still perform mira-cles to protect His children in the times when all we have to eat is what we grow.
