A company foundedin 1886, two years before the organizationof L.D.A., and engaged in manufacturingand distributing tools and automotivesupplies.Last summer, our National Chairmanfor 1970, Charles R. Sligh, Jr.,received a letter from Hal Lainson,President of the Dutton—Lainson Company,in which he said, "We have for along time had a company policy on(Sabbath) observance and I am enclosinga copy of our statement which may be ofinterest to you."Mr. Lainson has kindly given uspermission to print his company's"(Sabbath) work" policy which wasoriginally issued March 15, 1960.The modern 120-bed hospital,operated under the auspices of the WorldRelief Commission, is almost continuouslyat full capacity, and sometimes thepatients are even two to a bed. Some of thepatients are war victims, but most of thechildren are in the hospital with suchcommon ailments as skin infections,tuberculosis, pneumonia, plague, fracturesand cleft lips.The Women's Fellowship has starteda cash assistance fund for hospital supplies,medical equipment, medicine, food,etc., by a contribution of $250.The women are also sewing pajamasfor the hospital patients.

Profile"1. (Sabbath) work of any kind,including attendance at conventions,meetings, etc. is discouraged by theDutton—Lainson Company.2. The gradual breakdown of(Sabbath), and the disregarding of thecommandment — 'Remember the SabbathDay to keep it Holy' — should be amatter of concern to responsible businessestablishments such as ours.3. Department men should exerttheir influence in discouragingorganizations which propose havingconventions, open houses, and meetingson (Sabbaths).Only in cases of extreme emergencyshould our people disregard this companypolicy."Hal LainsonPresidentWe trust that this policy of Dutton—Lainson may encourage others torecognize the importance of (Sabbath) asa day for renewal and worship for theindividual, for the church, and for society.Sunday MagazineTHE MIRACLE OF A MANJames C. HefleyThe original "you" was a tiny cellholding the amazing DNA (deoxribonucleicacid). One two-trillionth (twothousand billionth) of an ounce ofDNA determines what kind of personyou will be. The amount of DNA neededto produce the present earth'spopulation of more than three billionwould make a pill about the size ofan aspirin tablet.The DNA in the start of "you" heldthe equivalent of one thousand volumesof coded blueprints for your futurebody — the color of your hair andeyes, the shape of your nose, the sizeof your feet, and so on.Your cells complete their life cycleevery few years, so that every fewyears your body renews itself. Atseven you had a whole new body —made up of all new cells except foryour brain cells.The brain cells multiply into millionsyet stay alive all your life. Thatenables you to keep remembering.Yet the original blueprint, DNA, remainsin your cells throughout yourlifetime.God's greatest earthly creation isman.
