Sabbath School Lessons for October 4 THE YOUTH'S INSTRUCTOR ® Private Worlds

by DOROTHY EMMERSON

THE YOUTH'S INSTRUCTOR is a non- fiction weekly. It is published for young adults who are capable of asking sincere questions, and who seek to know the counsels of Scripture. Its contents are chosen to serve readers who want to reach maturity—spiritually, socially, in- tellectually, and physically. Its staff holds that God is man's heavenly Fa- ther; that Jesus is man's Saviour; that genuine Christians will strive to love God supremely and their neighbors as themselves. Its pages reflect an expanding ob- jective from 1852 to 1969. First it husband and I were admiring a was essentially a vehicle for providing young couple at the next table.

Scarcely a person goes astray on the campus you represent but who could have been saved if his fel- low students had shared his load." Left with these words from SMC's academic dean, student comments throughout the seminar focused on their concern for the uncommitted students on SDA campuses, and the need of communicating with all student classes, especially those virtually unreached by past methods.

Next? Will sinful man someday set foot on planet Mars? Is it possible? We must leave some things with God, some things with the scientists. But men have walked on the moon. Why has God allowed this? Is it possible that when our space scientists have further perfected their research, still other men will go to the moon? Will they carry enough oxy- gen with them to stay on the moon for a week? A month? Longer? What will happen when the power of the atom has been harnessed to our space program? Will men be able to increase their space speed from 25,000 miles an hour to 100,000 miles an hour? A million? In August, two Mariner spacecraft took pictures about 2,200 miles above the red planet. According to Time, "they seemed to indicate that Mars is a cold, cratered globe, altogether inhospitable to life as man knows it." "Or is it?" Time continued. Two gases have been discovered on this planet, gases that are produced by biological decay. If vegetation produces the ammonia and methane that have been detected on Mars, could it be that some form of primitive life actually exists? 10:56 p.m. (EDT), July 20, 1969. Will television eventually blur the memory of men who saw Astronaut Neil Armstrong put his left foot on the moon for the first footprint since Creation week? Yes, man may forget what his TV screen revealed in his living room on that momentous night. And one thing that may contribute to forgetting could be another footprint, on still another planet within our solar system. What next? Have we seen the last of man's reach into the unknown? God has no beginning. He will have no end. The descendants of Adam and Eve have all been born under the curse of sin. Not one has enjoyed the potential God meant the first pair to bequeath to their firstborn. Jesus was born of Mary. But He was not conceived of man. Matthew records the fact that Joseph, Mary's husband, "being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily." He had naturally discovered that the woman he had married had become pregnant. But in a dream, he was told that his wife was indeed a virgin, that the child conceived in her "is of the Holy Ghost." Therefore, the birth of Jesus cannot be considered anything but miraculous. It cannot be equated with the birth of any child since Eve left Eden. We sincerely believe that some of our scientists are using their mental pow- ers to the glory of God. This does not mean that some of them won't turn these powers to evil ends. But men like Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, Michael Col- lins—are these ordinary men? Ordinary scientists? Do atheists take bits of Scripture with them to read from the vicinity of the moon on Christmas eve? Do agnostics take bits of Scripture with them to repeat before returning to earth after walking the moon? wtc

"My mother's reply was branded on my mind: 'If you want to go to Sunday school, I'd rather have you go on Sat- urday.' "At nineteen I went to California. Interested in having a right relation- ship with God, I listened to discussions of various religions and religious phi- losophies. Though I settled on no particular belief at that time, there was back in my mind the idea that the day to go to church was Saturday.

We were finally able to wire The Youth's Instructor, September 30, 1969 9 our place by making a connection in a barn a few hundred feet away. Then Otis bought me a pressure cooker. I made a garden and canned much of our food. "We also kept a few chickens (but not in the coop). These not only sup- plied us with eggs but, believe it or not, also some clothes. At that time chicken feed came in sacks made of dress-print material. From these I made some of the girls' dresses and Otis' undershorts. Another economy measure that I'll never forget was the pair of hair clip- pers that we bought from Sears for two or three dollars. They automatically initiated me into the barber business for all family grooming." "I understand your little shack was as bare of furniture as Mother Hub- bard's cupboard was of food." "Indeed it was. Living in a house trailer, we had had no use for ordinary furniture. Beds were the most needed article so we bought bed springs and set them on concrete blocks. We also purchased a davenport from a Salva- tion Army store for ten dollars and Otis made a kitchen table out of rough lumber. Our heating problem was solved by an old army stove priced at eight dollars." "The decor of your chicken coop cabin was then complete?" The opening of the door interrupted my comment and Otis walked briskly back to his chair.

All five women—Emma, Yunida, Lis- nett, Ainess, and Vickness—went through the whole eighteen-month course. All wrote the government ex- aminations and four of the five passed. Our goal was to encourage the women near enough to the mission to come in for normal deliveries as well as when trouble threatened. This was more important than I first realized. In Nyasaland I discovered that among the village women it was the custom to use a native oxytocic, an herb that causes strong uterine contractions. This could hasten a normal delivery, but if there was a contracted pelvis or other ob- struction, the results could be disas- trous. There were other customs, too, that could result in an exhausted pa- tient finally being brought to us—cases that would have delivered normally or with a minimum of help if there had been no interference. During those eighteen months the five students attended regular classes every afternoon, delivered normal cases under supervision, followed their pa- tients in the ward, helped in obstetri- cal operations, conducted prenatal and Above: Lydie (1946) with the child welfare clinics under supervision, first graduating class of midwives. and toward the end of their course, Right: A mother with triplets, assisted by a student midwife. scrubbed for forceps and other proce- Below: Malamulo medical staff. dures.

I found that with patient explanation they grasped what happens during the birth process. Emma proved that one night. It was toward morning when she sent a boy to call me. She had admitted a woman in labor but sent the message, "She isn't ready to deliver, but every- thing is not all right." She wanted me to come. When I arrived she greeted me and said, "You know, dona, I think there is a cord presentation." This is a most serious complication that can result in the baby's death. "Why do you think that, Emma ?" I questioned. She explained why. I ex- amined the patient and, sure enough, Emma was right! Since the patient wasn't far into labor we were able to do a podalic version (turn the baby) and deliver it alive. But what if Emma hadn't de- tected trouble?
