Adminis- trative and workers' lists have been furnished by the organizations concerned. In cases where current reports were not received, previous official and personnel rolls have been retained or adjusted to the best information available. Below appears data summarized largely from the 1949 Statistical Report, the one last issued at this date. The number of churches and the church membership in each of the conferences in North America are those reported at the close of the third quarter, 1950. In fields outside of North America the church and membership statistics at the close of 1949 have been used except in instances where the organizations themselves have reported later figures. Populations of conferences in North America are based on the 1940 census or latest figures available; and population figures for other fields have been furnished largely from the different Division or Union offices. Following the classification order of workers in the General Conference Working Policy, those persons who carry missionary credentials are placed im- mediately following the ordained minister groups in the conference and mission sections of the Yearbook. The Workers Directory lists the names and addresses of ordained and licensed ministers and workers holding missionary credentials and Bible instructors credentials. A separate list of principal workers employed in educational, publishing and medical institutions is also given. The Seventh-day Adventist denomination was organized May 21, 1863, with a constituency of 125 churches and 8,500 members. The work was largely con- fined to North America until the year 1874, when the first missionary, Elder J. N. Andrews, was sent to Switzerland. Gradually other countries were entered. In 1886 a minister went to Russia, the first non-Protestant country in which this work was started. The schooner "Pitcairn" was launched in San Francisco Bay on July 28, 1890, and was soon prepared to carry groups of missionaries to various Pacific islands. In 1894 Seventh-day Adventist workers first entered a heathen land, opening a mission in Matabeleland, South Africa. South America was entered the same year, and Japan in 1896. Although publishing and the distribution of literature had been a major factor in the development of the Advent cause from its beginning, the first regular pub- lishing house was incorporated in 1861 at Battle Creek, Mich., under the name of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association. The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald was first published in 1850 at Paris, Maine; the Youth's Instructor at Rochester, N.Y., in 1852 ; and the Signs of the Times at Oakland, Calif., in 1874. In 1866 the Health Reform Institute, later the Battle Creek Sanitarium, was established. The first denominational school was opened in 1872. Tract and mis- sionary society work was organized on a state-wide basis in 1870. and state Sabbath school associations in 1877. The name, "Seventh-day Adventists," was chosen in 1860, and in 1903 the denominational headquarters were moved from Battle Creek, Mich., to Washington, D.C. Since 1900 to the close of 1949, 6,450 missionaries have been sent out for mission service in various lands comprising all of the larger countries of the world and many of the islands of the sea. Evangelistic and institutional workers num- bering 37,931 were using 705 languages and modes of speech in their gospel service. The membership of the 9,991 Seventh-day Adventist churches throughout the world in 1949 was 716,538. There were 78 union conferences and missions, 145 local conferences, 216 regularly organized mission fields, and 551 institutions. Of the 37,931 laborers, 13,540 were in North America, and 24,391 in other countries. The funds in tithes and offerings contributed in 1949 by Seventh-day Adventists were the largest ever raised by the denomination during any one year. The amount of $44,450,803.21 was equivalent to a per capita contribution of $62.03 for every member in the world field. In North America alone the per capita giving in tithes and offerings was $137.07. In addition to the above, $294,767.43 was given in North America in 1949 for mission rehabilitation and famine relief. The Statistical Report showed that there were 50 Seventh-day Adventist pub- lishing houses and branches, whose book and periodical retail sales in 1949 were $12,456,770.25. These publishing houses employed 1,772 workers in producing this literature, and 3,517 more were engaged in its distribution. Seventh-day Adventist literature has been printed in 195 languages, and there were 315 periodicals issued. 3 4 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST YEARBOOK, 1951 The enrollment in the 16,176 Sabbath schools was 889,386, and the annual Sabbath school offerings were $4,790,896.42. Sanitariums, hospitals, and treat- ment rooms, to the number of 161 engaged in the care of the sick, with '7,639 physicians, nurses and other attendants, caring for 143,498 patients in the institu- tions and furnishing 1,709,067 additional treatment and medical services during 1949. There were 3,854 elementary schools, and 310 secondary and advanced schools with 9,503 teachers employed, and an enrollment of 195,041 pupils. At the close of the 1948-49 school year 1,397 students entered some branch of denominational work. The property value of all organizations and institutions connected with the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, including churches, at the beginning of 1949 was $166,078,322.64. The total amount of funds in tithes and offerings contributed since the organi- zation of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference in 1863 to the close of 1949 was $577,522,273.49. Literature sales for the same period were registered as $207,745,566.01 Review of 1950 The record of the past year reveals many significant and interesting items: General and North America: The 46th Session of the General Conference was held in San Francisco July 10-22, with delegations from all divisions but one. The opening day was set aside for fasting and prayer. Attendance on Sabbath, July 15, reached 20,000.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

  • World Patterns of Seventh-Day Adventist Education Is the Only Description of the Church Educational System by Countries
    WORLD PA~fTERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education WORLD PA'ITERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education Christian EDUCAiiON An Adventist Essential Sixth Revision, 1993 Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20904 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ..................................................... 3 Placement Recommendations ..................................... 4 Abbreviations and Symbols . 5 Categories of Seventh-day Adventist Schools . 6 Abbreviated Symbols for Countries without SDA Schools ................. 7 Patterns of SDA Education (Countries in Alphabetical Order) . 9 Bibliography . 187 Index of Names and Places . 195 3 PREFACE The General Conference Department of Education coordinates the educational work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church from a global perspective. World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.

  • Yun-Foh Chong, Joshua (1911–1999)
    Image not found or type unknown Yun-Foh Chong, Joshua (1911–1999) FAI LEONG Fai Leong began his pastoral ministry in Kuala Lumpur in 1980, after he graduated from Hong Kong Adventist College. At the time of writing, he was the president of the Peninsular Malaysia Mission. Joshua Yun-Foh Chong was an Adventist minister and educator who served in China, Malaysia (Sarawak and Peninsular) and Singapore. Early Life Joshua Yun-Foh Chong was born on April 17, 1911, to a Lutheran elementary school teacher’s family in Xinning, a town located in the Hakka district of Guangdong Province in China. He was the fifth of twelve siblings. His father, Sook Au Chong, was brought up in a traditional Chinese family with traditional religious practices. Before Chong’s birth, Sook Au and his wife Mei Hwa had accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior after a plague that had taken the lives of most of their fellow villagers, including Sook Au’s parents and all his siblings who lived in a village near Xinning. The small family of six managed to escape the “Black Death” only because they had moved to their in-laws’ house eighty kilometers away from the outbreak.1 Chong spent the first six years of his childhood in a small mission school compound in Xinning before his father was transferred to teach the Chinese language at a secondary school in Meizhou. The school in Meizhou had a large compound encompassing a primary school and a big church building. He received his primary and secondary education in Meizhou.2 At the close of the last semester of Chong’s high school education, he suffered severe diarrhea that no physician in the town could cure.

  • The Palm Oil Pioneer: Commander W.L
    SUSAN M. MARTIN MARTIN SUSAN M. The UP Saga Susan M. Martin Histories of the plantations sector in Malaysia have largely focused on the rubber industry and on the rise and fall of big British-owned colonial enter- prises. But since independence, the sector has entered a new phase of spectacular growth founded on the oil palm. This volume offers a radically different history by telling the fascinating story of United Plantations Berhad (UP), a firm of Scandinavian origin that has spanned both eras and evolved along quite different lines from the normal models of British imperial business. The book is also unusual in that the author had full access to well-preserved company records. Tracing the company’s origins before the First World War, The UP Saga describes the crisis years of economic depression, Japanese occupa- T tion and the turmoil of the Emergency, followed by Merdeka and the years he of spectacular growth that have lasted to the present day. ‘[The UP Saga] is expertly researched and is therefore a radically differ- UP ent history of the plantation industry. It offers the reader an authoritative and quite remarkable study … authenticated by the personal experiences The of many recognised experts in this field. … Through her work on The UP S Saga Susan Martin has produced a work of historic importance and great aga interest to all those interested in the development of the global palm oil industry.’ ~ William King, London Metropolitan University UP ‘Potential purchasers should not be fooled by the title into believing that this book is merely yet another company history.
