A friend is a true friend when they love you even if you are unlovely in a lovely world. God is my friend, as in John 15:13-15 God is love and calls us friend.

And that is fair. My wife and I attended the Revelation Seminar at our church recently, and one passage seemed to stand out. Revelation 21:4, 5.

  • 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.

  • The All-New Gem State Academy
    Ofilcial 05on oft-he NodhPatrilte !Info; ankrenee of jeventE7day OCTOBER 16, 1961 VOL. 56, NO. 40 COLLEGE PLACE, WASHINGTON THE ALL-NEW GEM STATE ACADEMY "Life is to all an untried path . we each walk alone . As the little child sets forth on that journey in which, sooner or later_, he must choose his own course .. how earnest should be the efforts to direct his trust." From the instruction given us we read further: "As a shield from temptation and an inspiration to purity and truth, no other influence can equal the sense of God's presence." And so the responsibility rests heavily upon us to provide an opportunity for the precious boys and girls of the North Pacific Union Conference to attend a school where they may be shielded from temptation, and have the opportunity to study and work and play under the sweet influence of the sense of God's presence. One of the finest educational projects ever within our union is the complete rebuilding, now in progress, of the Gem State Academy in Idaho. The present old plant was located on the outskirts of Caldwell in 1918 and has been the rallying point for inspiration and char- acter building for the young people of the Idaho Confer- ence for these many years. But the city has surrounded the school, the buildings have deteriorated, the ground area is inadequate, and the brethren have been faced with a very serious problem. In harmony with the in- struction of Inspiration, the Union and local brethren have agreed upon an ambitious plan for the relocation and rebuilding of the entire plant.
