MU. ST R. R N. HARRY ANDERSON. ARTIST It Ts the Last Hour. "The Work That Centuries Might Have Done, Must Crowd the Hours of Setting Sun FOREWORD WITH this second and last volume of a history of Seventh- day Adventists, a further explanation is desirable. The beginning and early growth of the movement, which were covered in volume 1, were comparatively easy to portray, because they were small and simple. It was like tracing the course and development of a stream: first a spring, then a rill, a creek, a river, entering, indeed, broader valleys, embracing a larger area, but far from covering the earth. The simple annals of a cause that at first moved about with its carriers; and that only gradually assumed greater complexity, could be kept more or less in the channel of a flowing narrative, and most of its prominent leaders brought into view. But the history of this church in its second half century presents to the chronicler a very different problem. It is no longer a single stream with a few tributaries; it has become the world-girdling ocean, into which pour thousands of rivers, an ocean with its seas and hays and straits, its far-sweeping currents, its storms and calms, its tempestuous trials, and its snug harbors of relief. NVith the new vision and a resolution to compass the earth speedily with the last gospel message, a vision and a resolution which took form at the General Conference of 1901, and which witfi every succeeding con- vocation have received an accession of energy, implementation, and resource that carried them beyond the comprehension of a single mind, this history has burst the bounds of a confining volume. If space were to be given to the record of the church in the present half century proportionate to that of the pre- ceding fifty-five years, there would be ten volumes instead of one. Obviously this cannot be. The only recourse, then, is condensation, selection, and omission. We must be content, as we sail these broad waters, to point out the general con- -7 8 Christ's Last Legion formation, to call attention to its most salient features, to chart this channel and that landmark, and for romantic color that heightens interest to recite the occasional story of a sighted land and people. - This limitation is particularly observable in the section "The Field," where in each continent or area the history of forty years is compressed into a single chapter. Instead of a chapter, a volume is needed. Of course some phases of the development of such fields are dealt with in other sections, so that the microfilm is enlarged upon the screen; yet the interested student must seek in local and more expansive works the' complete history of any particular field. Scores and hundreds of Christian workers in this modern church movement receive here no mention, though they are every whit as worthy as some who are named. The record cannot consist wholly of the rolls of heroes:, they are recorded . in the books of God. The aim is not to celebrate men but to portray a cause. Two objectives have been kept in mind: first, to give sufficient data to make this a reliable history, even if in some cases -dryly statistical; second, to create, through narration of missionary exploits, an atmosphere of the romance of God's work which will help to inspire young men and women to live, and if need.be to die, for it. This plan makes for uneven treatment: some enterprises and some persons receive dispro- portionate notice. But here is given the reason. Again it is to be acknowledged that in -philosophy and style this book is not a historian's history. While it seeks to avoid undue bias. it neither claims nor tries to be detached and disinterested. It is the story of a cause written for the champions of a cause. The author feels the warmth of hiS subject, and employs the• language of his people. He cannot use the scientist's cold measurements, or offer his subject a sacrifice on. the altar of comparative religion. It is his pro- found conviction that this truth and this crusade contain the essence of the last gospel message. That people whom Foreword 9 God makes the spearhead of His final assault upon the works of the devil must be iron, not oil. No effort has been made to tell in detail of the work of other churches or missionary societies, whether antecedent or contemporary with our own. For a balanced view of Chris- tian missions, that indeed would be, highly desirable, indeed indispensable; and its observance is recommended to stu- dents. But the limitations of space prevent recital here. This is a history, not of all Christian churches - and missions, but of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its missionary activities. If the effect is that of the map of a particular rail- way, whose heavy lines appear to be the shortest distance between two points, while the lines of other railroads are faint and devious, it is the penalty of keeping a- single eye. - The heroic service of the pioneers and of their successors in Christian missions elicits the admiration and gratitude of all who follow. No earthly praise, however sincere and true. can do justice to the consecration, fortitude, learning, and achievements of the great army of Christ's who have given their all to. His mission outside the lands of their nativity. None more than they would rejoice at the evidence now appearing-of the approach of that great day of God, which is the . culmination of all Christian hope and toils. For thou- sands of years; generation after generation has seen the army of God recruited from among those who have heard the Word of life and who have believed. Now, in this last time, the final call is given, and the last of the legions of Christ is called to the colors. There is no intent to claim that Seventh-day Adventists are the only people. of God, or that they alone constitute Christ's Last Legion. That distinction is conferred, not by profession of faith, but by demonstration of life. In every land and in every communion God numbers His legionnaires, and through them all He accomplishes His divine purpose. Yet there is the sound of a trumpet, and there is a banner to which to rally. Before the final triumphant assault Christ's 10 Christ's Last Legion army will be united in mind and in rank, alive and militant with the power of God. There is no time and there is no action to waste. In the face of the transcendent issue of a world coming swiftly to the judgment seat of Christ, all controversy, all compromise, all evasion, all ecclesiastical pride, must give way before the herald's cry: "Prepare to meet your God!"

    YNYS PRYDEIN Le cycle arthurien contemporain De l’Histoire à l’Invention Mémoire Geneviève Bellemare Maîtrise en Études littéraires Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Geneviève Bellemare, 2013 RESUME Le projet de création Ynys Prydein est constitué de plusieurs scènes narrées tantôt par Muir Dunn (Merlin, Myrddin), tantôt par Artan (Arthur), offrant une réécriture du cycle arthurien et des œuvres médiévales d’origines galloises selon une perspective historique. La lutte contre l’envahisseur anglo-saxon, de même que les conflits fratricides qui ont déchiré l’île de Bretagne, sont au cœur de ce récit. Dans la partie réflexive, nous aborderons la question de la construction de l’Histoire, des lacunes archivistiques et de ce que signifie « écrire un roman historique » sur un personnage tel qu’Arthur. Comme le titre l’indique, notre sujet sera l’étude de la construction de l’Histoire. C’est par l’expérimentation que nous parviendrons à saisir les subtilités de cette écriture de la transformation. III IV ABSTRACT The Ynys Prydein project is consists of several scenes told sometimes by Muir Dunn (Merlin, Myrddin), sometimes by Artan (Arthur), offering a rewriting of the Arthurian cycle and the welsh medieval works according to a historical perspective. The fight against the Anglo-Saxon invader, as well as the fratricide conflicts which tore the Island of Brittany, are at the heart of this narrative. In the essay, we shall approach the question of the construction of the History, the archival gaps and what implie " writing a historical novel " on a character such as Arthur. As the title indicates it, our subject will be the study of the construction of the History.

  • THE STORY of OUR HEALTH MESSAGE As a Part of the Convenient and Popular Christian Home Library
    The Story of OUR HEALTH MESSAGE The Origin, Character, and Development of Health Education in the Seventh-day Adventist Church By Dores Eugene Robinson Third Edition Revised and Enlarged SOUTHERN PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION Nashville, Tennessee Copyright, 1943, 1955, 1965, by SOUTHERN PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION (Printed in U.S.A.) -5- FOREWORD TO THE SECOND EDITION It is with deep satisfaction that we now present this new edition of THE STORY OF OUR HEALTH MESSAGE as a part of the convenient and popular Christian Home Library. In the several printings of the first edition, this volume has demonstrated its unique value and its rightful permanent place in the literature of the church. Seventh-day Adventists are known as a health-minded people—a denomination which in its evangelistic program places emphasis on the close relationship between physical well-being and spiritual life and growth. Only religious conviction and a concept which makes the health message a part of the third angel's message could motivate a health reform program which moves men and women in all parts of the world to adopt new and better living habits, and could lead the denomination to establish and operate a worldwide system of medical institutions. THE STORY OF OUR HEALTH MESSAGE takes the reader back to the times when the Seventh-day Adventist Church had its beginnings. These were times when the general public was quite ignorant concerning physiology and hygiene. The story of how God led His people to an understanding of the laws of nature which He had established to govern the human body is a thrilling one.

RENCE LIBRARY TAKOMA PARK. WASHIN REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSN. TAKOMA PARK, WASHINGTON, D. C. Printed in the U. S. A. Copyright, 1935, by the Review and Herald Publishing Association Revised, 1941 Foreword IN this abridged history of the Seventh-day Adventist de- nomination emphasis has been laid on the message in its various phases rather than on the men and women who so loyally proclaimed the timely messages. Brief character sketches have been given of some who were most closely associated with the beginnings of the advent movement, but in the main, biographies of men will have to be culled from other books. We gratefully acknowledge material help and direct informa- tion from the following books: "The Great Controversy," by Mrs. E. G. White ; "The Great Second Advent Movement," by J. N. Loughborough ; "A History of the Origin and Progress of Seventh-day Adventists," by M. Ellsworth Olsen; "Story of the Advent Message," by Matilda Erickson Andross ; "Founders of the Message," by Everett Dick; and "Pioneer Stories," by A. W. Spalding. In the revised edition of 1941, we acknowledge further courtesies of assistance by LeRoy E. Froom and the Ellen G. White Publications office staff. Access to original sources, made available by the research work of these men, has led to minor changes in some of the stories of the beginnings of this movement.
