71ortita Cot/few/cc seeds forest Lake Academy

Why? It is because there are every year an estimated 500 young men and women of academic age in Florida Seventh-day Adventist homes who need a good Adventist academy in which to further their education. If it were not for the existence of Forest Lake Academy and all that it represents, not more than 100 of these 500 youth would ever get into one of our Seventh-day Adventist academies. Most of the others would attend public high schools and many, consequently, would eventually be lost to the church and to God's work. This is a tragic possibility but altogether a startling fact with which we are faced. A gifted writer penned these words: "There are two kinds of discontent in this world; the discontent that works and the discontent that wrings its hands. The first gets what it wants and the second loses what it has. There is no cure for the first but success; and there is no cure at all for the second."—Gordon Graham. The outworking of these words may be experienced in the life of some parents who have been indifferent to the need of a Christian H. H. Schmidt education for their dearest possession, a son or daughter. How sad when parents lose to the world what God has given them, and con- versely, what a glorious experience when parents see their sons and daughters educated in Seventh-day Adventist Christian academies and See colleges and, because of this training, find a place in God's work. Forest Lake Academy is needed for our Florida youth. It is our Pages academy. It is the academy for our youth. If we are discontented with its present limited facilities, let us work vigorously to do something 9-12 about it rather than stand wringing our hands wishing for something better. May God help us to move ahead with confidence and trust to accomplish the task of re-building Forest Lake Academy. H. H. SCHMIDT, President

Seventh-day Adventists have a responsibility to their fellow men. We should be prepared to render assistance wherever disaster may strike. One means by which Seventh-day Ad- ventists throughout the North American Division are rendering aid in times of disaster is by means of special disaster vans. These vans are equipped with clothing, bedding, food, et cetera.

Deyo and Mrs. Reba Crager putting the finishing touches on more than 40 boxes of food for the needy and shut-ins. They, to- gether with Mrs. Lula Reed, Mrs. John Murray and others had put in long hours of preparation for this cheer-spreading project. At Halloween, Sanitarium Pathfinders gathered more than 1,000 cans of food to help fill the boxes. The Dorcas society bought fresh fruit, lettuce, celery, bread and other perishables to distribute. Clothing had also been prepared for those who needed it. The Pathfinder club New Mountain Sanitarium and Hospital is expected to be ready for occupancy provided 94 toys to be included for the by late summer of 1963. children.

8 SOUTHERN TIDINGS, JANUARY 30, 1963 A NEW FOREST LAKE ACADEMY S IS PLANNED

1962 Program HE first year of the Florida Confer- T ence plan for rebuilding Forest Lake Academy has produced notable changes on the campus. Two new buildings have been erected and three old frame build- ings have been removed. Long talked of as the most urgent need of the academy's physical plant, the large, new, modern cafeteria has now become a reality. Its ample light and cheery dining room, and its shining stainless steel all-electric kitchen are a dream come true. The ground-breaking ceremony was held on May 20, 1962, and construction was soon under way. Besides the cafeteria, the building houses a newly equipped home economics de- partment, and provides one additional classroom and a room for band re- hearsals. The cost of this building to- gether with the kitchen equipment will be approximately $185,000. A building for the academy press and the new book bindery was com- pleted earlier. The press occupied its portion in November, and the bindery A view of the new cafeteria and the Press and Bindery buildings. is nearly ready for operation.

Ring, Silver Bells

Little bells, big bells, silver bells, gold bells, colored bells, all kinds of bells rang out the Christmas cheer on Sabbath morning, De- cember 22, 1962, at 9:30. The Meharry Boulevard Sabbath School rang out the third angel's message to the Southern European Division. The church auditorium was full of eager listeners when the children's department of the Sabbath School rendered the thirteenth Sabbath program with dialogue and music. A beautiful, gold Christmas tree served as an artistic background for the rendition of poems and songs. Ronald Campbell played "Silent Night" on the melody bells. The melodious strains of "0 Come All Ye Faithful" performed on the accordions by a trio group, Wilometto Washington, Ronald Camp- bell, and Arthur Lee, ended the program. The superintendent, Mr. T. Perry Campbell, was very happy to observe each teacher or class representative place the offering inside a bell and hang the bell on the Christmas tree. The bells tolled to the sum of $260.22 for the Thirteenth Sabbath Offering. Mr. Campbell is ending his second term as superintendent of the Sabbath School. He has been a good leader—faithful to duty and sin- cerely interested in the physical, as well as spiritual welfare of each member. In short, he is a Christian. No more can be said of an in- dividual.

Ten Students Graduate

By DOUGLAS L. BUCKNER, Public Relations Secretary

Ten students of the School of Practical Nursing of the Florida Sanitarium and Hospital received their pins and diplomas in the first graduation exercises. This is the first class of practical nurses to graduate from the school which was founded in January of 1962. The students are qualified to take their state boards and be- come licensed practical nurses. LPN's are filling a great need in the community for bedside nursing. Many individuals who can- not spend three or four years in the professional schools can spend one year in a practical nursing course and be qualified to serve an important place in the medical field. The members are: Mazie Torkelson, Jemmie Blackman, Helen Clay, Eva Jo Curtis, Marjorie Burke, Elizabeth Paige, June Downs, Naomi Ruth King, Shirley Ann Swain, and Margene Turner. The second class of students, which began in September, 1962, will soon receive their caps and be well on their way to becoming practical nurses. Anyone who is interested in becoming a practical nurse should contact Miss Hulda Gunther, director of the School of Practical Nursing, or the Nursing Service Department.
