If he did ask such a question, Paul might have responded by relating to him several incidents, among them the story what he said? about the sorcerer Elymas, whom Paul and Barnabas met at Paphos, Cyprus, on their first missionary journey. How could Paul write with such As Paul and Barnabas had performed miracles and told of salvation through Jesus at Paphos, Sergius Paulus, the assurance that "all things work deputy of the island, had been deeply impressed, seem- together for good"? ing to consider seriously the claims of the gospel. Then the sorcerer Elymas, apparently intent on preventing the deputy's conversion, had tried to counteract the apostles' By RUBY RATZLAFF influence. "Sleight of hand!" Elymas had insisted. "All their miracles are performed through sleight of hand!" Under the inspiration of God, Paul had called down blindness upon Elymas—and had heard no more about sleight of hand. "You see, Tertius, the man who tried to disprove the reality of our miracles became Exhibit A—demonstrating their authenticity," he might have added. Also Paul could have told Tertius about those at Philippi, on his second missionary journey, who had tried to put a stop to his work. He and his partner, Silas, had been arrested, beaten, and consigned to the town jail's inner dungeon—hardly a condition conducive to the furtherance of their evangelistic activities. But this situation worked together with the earthquake God sent at midnight and with the fact that they did not run when the earthquake released them, resulting not only in the conversion of their jailer and his family but also in the building up of what was to be one of the strongest of the churches Paul founded. "Yes, Tertius, the devil may have laughed as we lay on that rough stone floor with our feet in stocks. But I don't, think he laughed when his cruel tricks backfired and strengthened the work of God instead." Paul also might have told Tertius how Satan's plots in city after city—Jerusalem, Iconium, Lystra, and Ephesus—had resulted not in stopping God's work but in During the three months Paul spent at Corinth before strengthening it and impelling the gospel message for- traveling to Jerusalem for what would be the last time, he ward.

White Historical Writings-6 Completing the work on "The Desire of Ages'—1 Because the works of William Hanna and certain others dealt with the scenes that had passed before her in vision, Ellen White found these sources helpful. But these materials did not constitute the basic sources for her information on Christ's life and teaching.

By ARTHUR L. WHITE

To Ellen White the preparation of The Desire of Ages It seems clear that the visions given down through the was an awesome challenge. The scenes were so sublime, years in which the life of Christ was portrayed and the the sacrifice was so great, that depicting the story took visions repeated while she was working on the manu- hold of every fiber of her being. Of this she wrote: "In script for The Desire of Ages and visions opening up writing upon the Life of Christ I am deeply wrought fresh concepts all came into play as basic sources of her upon. I forget to breathe as I should. I cannot endure the writing on the life of Christ. intensity of feeling that comes over me as I think of what Christ has suffered in our world.

As she was preparing The Desire of Ages in the Day and night, as she labored on this task, she sensed 1890's, apparently at times she consulted the standard the tremendous responsibility of capturing and presenting works on the life of Christ, some of which were in her in an effective way and in adequate language the vivid library.

Nevertheless she found the works of her "point by point" (Letter 14, 1889). Taking up work Hanna, Edersheim, Farrar, Geikie, and certain others on The Desire of Ages in 1892, she mentioned that, as that dealt with the scenes that had passed before her in she wrote, the subjects stood before her in "living vision helpful.

• Growth rate is up: At the close of 1978, Seventh-day Adventist membership stood at 3,117,535, according to the statistical report for the year just compiled by Archives and Statistics director F. Donald Yost. The figure includes the latest available figures for China (21,168) and the USSR (40,000). The world growth rate for 1978 was 5.69 per cent, compared with 4.95 per cent for 1977. • Murray conducts CASE workshop: Milton Murray, di- rector of Philanthropic Services to Institutions, was chosen by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) to conduct a two-day workshop for Latin American Institutions in conjunction with their 1979 Annual Assembly. Forty-five Spanish-speaking public-relations and development personnel attended the program in New Orleans, July 8 and 9, to extend their professional skills. • PR professional in risk management: General Conference Risk Management Services has appointed Jay Prall, formerly of Pacific Press, as its director of communications. This is the first service department of the General Conference to recognize its need of personnel equipped with public-relations skills. In May, Mr. Prall completed his work at San Jose State Univer- sity for a B.A. in public relations. He became interested in this field five years ago, when the local church where he was communication secretary sent him—tuition-paid—to Andrews University for the annually offered course, "Perspectives in Communication." • They come from the East and West: During the month of June the General Conference Visitors' Center received visitors from Hong Kong, Sweden, England, Rhodesia, South Africa, Kenya, East Africa, West Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, zilian, dined there, his wife the owners, and according to Puerto Rico, West Indies, India, Chile, South America, Can- went to the restaurant, re- Pastor Marsollier, they have a ada, Belgium, as well as from various States in North Amer- questing the help of an Ad- dual purpose for operating the ica. ventist cook to "make some Maranatha: "To offer health- On two occasions the U.S. State Department, in arranging delicious food like my hus- ful food to the public, and the itinerary of an African dignitary in Washington, has called band ate at your vegetarian ultimately to turn the restau- to set up a tour of the church's world headquarters at the restaurant." rant over to the Adventist request of their guest.

There's more to aviation than meets the sky.

At Andrews University our fully-accredited Federal Aviation Administration program trains you to do much more than just fly. Things start on the ground where students learn to inspect, maintain and repair aircraft in just two years. And since airframe and power plant mechanics make up one third of the work force in aircraft companies, jobs are plentiful. Andrews offers other options in aviation, such as the two-year course in flight training, leading to an associate degree in industrial technology. A four-year degree in aviation technology qualifies you to work in such areas as flight instruction or airport manage- ment, as well as earn all flight ratings and pilot certificates. One of the nicest things about Andrews' program is the opportunity to use what you have learned. Highly qualified students make substantial contribu- tions to our program while earning more than double the minimum wage. So if you're thinking about aviation, think about the center for the largest mission aviation program in the world—Andrews Airpark—where learning to fly is just part of the story.
