Once again, the Doll House was relocated. At the current location of Daniells Hall it was used as a dormitory for a few of the women. Next, it served as a small prayer room for the students. During the 1924-25 school year, the house served as a music studio which was affectionately known as the "Grafonola." J. Lowell Butler, a voice and piano teacher, used the building as his studio. According to Dr. Edythe Cothren, former curator of Southern College's Heritage Mu- seum, "Professor Butler coined the name Grafonola, which he derived from the gramophone and pianola instruments." To make the building resemble a gramophone, Butler installed a crank handle on the side of the building, and on the front he painted several measures of music and the words "Brighten the corner where you are." The playhouse then moved just beyond the site of the old Tabernacle, where it was used as a storehouse for 4 • VOLUME 44, NUMBER 1 • seed and later as a toolshed.

  • 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. 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.

  • Memories from an Early Adventist CAMP Meeting
    April 2012 SOUTHERN Memories from an Early Adventist Camp Meeting Sección En Español Vantage Point Southern Union Works for Christ, Welcomes New Carolina Conference President The Southern Union sustains its commitment to inviting our almost 260,000 members to an intimate relationship with Christ; engagement in the work of introducing members to Jesus; and intentionally caring for members of the Church across gender, nationalis- tic, ethnic, and generational lines. The Southern Union territory is proud to have hosted the North American Division Youth Department’s “Just Claim It” Prayer Conference in Greensboro, N.C. Thousands of youth and young adults gathered to pray for a more intimate relationship with our Lord, and for a more powerful and effective youth minis- try in North America. There has been dynamic evangelistic activity in Mobile, Alabama, featuring the preaching of Mark Finley, as hundreds of new people have been intro- duced to Jesus Christ. Ralph Ringer, Jessie Wilson, D.Min., and Southern and Oakwood universities are engaging in evangelistic initiatives to impact Memphis, Tennessee, for Jesus. The Adventist Health System and Florida Hospital continue extending the heal- ing ministry of Christ through “CREATION Health,” and intentional partnership with the Florida and Southeastern conferences. There are new and exciting initiatives to impact Tampa, Florida, through the extension of this healing ministry. It gives me a sense of joy to announce that, more than ever, state and regional conferences are working conjointly around evangelistic meetings, youth ministry initiatives, and women’s conferences. To God be the Glory! Leslie D. Louis, former executive secretary for the Gulf States Conference, who served more than five years as executive secretary, is the new president of the Carolina Conference.
