Herald’s Ttrumpet
Hi, kids! Herald’s trumpet is once again hidden somewhere in this magazine. If you find it, send a postcard telling us where. Be sure to include your name and address! Then we’ll randomly choose three winning postcards.
In our last contest (January 19, 2012) we had 12 entries! The three winners: Priscila Quirarte, from Hemet, California; Jeremy Shaw, from Olathe, Kansas; and Austin Simpson, from Lavonia, Georgia. Where was the trumpet? On page 7.
If you can find the trumpet this time, send your postcard to Herald’s Trumpet, Adventist Review, 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20904-6600. The prize will be a book from Pacific Press. Look for the three winners’ names in the July 26, 2012, edition of the Adventist Review. Have fun searching and keep trumpeting Jesus’ love—and His second coming!

Esther, a home-schooling mother of four, told me, “Don’t worry if you hear me talking to myself. If you do, you’ll know I’m just having a parent-teacher meeting.”
—Revel Papaioannou, Veria, Greece
Most of the children in our primary class come from non-Adventist homes. Usually they are not able to attend every week, much less learn the memory verses. After our lesson study we play a game designed to find out how much the children have learned from the lesson. On one of the cards is the memory verse: if they read it, they get one sticker; if they recite it from memory, they get two.
One Sabbath, after the first child read “He who humbles himself is exalted,” the next child, wishing the extra sticker, proudly recited what she misheard: “He who humbles himself is exhausted.”
After we corrected her so the remaining children would recite it properly, we realized there was more truth than error—sometimes it is exhausting to humble oneself!
—Joyce Rapp, Primary leader, Arden Hills Seventh-day Adventist Church, Highland, California
