president for advancement for Loma Linda University and Medical Center, with a check

a rummage sale and raised $ 100. After a welcome by advancement office personnel,
the girls were led on a tour of the pediatric unit, and then taken to the cafeteria to make

Dr. McCune to resign from
chancellor position in June
The twelfth annual John W.
Osborn Lectureship series con
cluded on October 31, after
featuring five speakers who ad
dressed the topic " How to Talk
to the Secular Mind."
Opening the sessions on Sun
day evening, October 29, was
keynote speaker Lewis B.
Smedes, ThD, professor of
theology and ethics at Fuller
Theological Seminary in
Pasadena. Other speakers for
Monday's and Tuesday's meetings

tian personality; Winton H.
Beaven, PhD, assistant to the

Arthur R. Torres, MDiv, senior
pastor of the Glendale Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
Their presentations ranged

The John W. Osborn Lec
tureship Series was conceived by
his wife Marion shortly after his
untimely death in 1976. As the
ministerial secretary of the Pacific
Union Conference, John W.
Osborn tried to implement a
dream of continuous educations
for ministers, beginning in college,
and extending through seminary,
the ministerial internship, and
through all the years of ministerial
service.
Mrs. Osborn proposed that
LLU sponsor an annual series of
lectures on topics of vital concern
to the Adventist ministry. The
pattern for these lectures was
carefully worked out by LLUs
School of Religion in close
cooperation with the leaders of
the Pacific Union Conference of
Seventh- day Adventists, and they
provide pastors, interns, and
students with valuable insights
into the problems facing them in
their ministry today.
