(Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, the United States). Hook retired in 1997 as a minister in the Greater Sydney Conference, Australia. An Australian by birth Hook has served the Church as a teacher at the elementary, academy and college levels, a missionary in Papua New Guinea, and as a local church pastor. In retirement he is a conjoint senior lecturer at Avondale College of Higher Education. He has authoredFlames Over Battle Creek, Avondale: Experiment on the Dora, Desmond Ford: Reformist Theologian, Gospel Revivalist, the Seventh-day Adventist Heritage Series, and many magazine articles. He is married to Noeleen and has two sons and three grandchildren. Avondale University College is the senior tertiary educational institution for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific region, located in Cooranbong, New South Wales, Australia. Formerly Avondale College of Higher Education, it was granted Avondale Australian University College status in August 2019. Early Stages When the Australasian Bible School was opened in suburban Melbourne in 1892, it was considered to be a temporary establishment.1 It did not meet the denomination’s self-imposed criteria. Their model school required a rural and agricultural setting, not entirely monastic but certainly isolationist in order to nullify any distractions to the nurturing of a religious life. For two years, 1893 and 1894, a search for an ideal haven was undertaken, chiefly along the proximity to the rail link between Melbourne and Sydney.

Other American Protestant missionaries had already entered the Kiribati Islands from the north and the London Missionary Society had penetrated from their Samoan and Cook Island bases to the south-east.

Chapman Collection Collection 270 Scope and Content Muriel Elizabeth Chapman was a nursing school graduate of San Diego County General Hospital in 1937. Her work experience began with managing and working in a obstetric physician’s office in New Mexico where she assisted in home baby deliveries. Later she worked in a North Carolina obstetrical facility where she would make home visits in the Appalachian homes of the mother and baby. This sometimes entailed parking the car and walking up a “hollow” to the home to visit the patient. She attended Walla Walla College and graduated with a biology major in 1947. She also completed post-graduate courses in Obstetrical Nursing at Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital, Orthopedic Nursing at Emory University, and earned her doctorate degree in Education in 1969 at Columbia University. Her doctoral dissertation was titled, Nursing Education and the Movement for Higher Education for Women: A Study in Interrelationship, 1870- 1900. Her education studies were interspersed with experiences as a director of Nurses at small hospitals in New Mexico, California, and Georgia, as well as at the Florida Sanitarium and Hospital in Orlando. In Orlando, she also taught nursing. Next she taught nursing at the Medical College of Georgia before accepting the position of Chairman of the Nursing Department at Berea College in Kentucky. Before coming to Andrews University as a professor in 1976, she served as a nursing consultant in the Far Eastern Division of Seventh-day Adventists for eight months.

He is married to Noeleen and has two sons and three grandchildren. The Day-Star was a Millerite periodical published weekly in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1845 to 1847. Publication Features The masthead of the Day-Star disclosed that it was a continuation of the Western Midnight Cry, also issued in Ohio. The volume numbering of the two periodicals was continuous, that is, volumes 1 through 4 from 1843 to early 1845 under the title Western Midnight Cry and volumes 5 through 13 were published 1845 through 1847 as the Day-Star. Volume numbering did not follow the usual annual system. For example, volumes 5 through 8 spanned 1845. The subscription price was fifty cents for thirteen issues (one volume). It was offered free for those “really unable to pay.” Most issues were of two pages (four sides) but occasionally two issues were combined to make four pages. Its editor and publisher was Enoch Jacobs, a dedicated Millerite lay preacher.1 E.
