PARR WARBURTON, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA Volume 78, Number 13 Price: 8 cents April 1, 1974 DR. FRANCES HARDING RECEIVES HIGH AWARD FRANCES K. HARDING, M.D.* (daughter of the late Doctors Martin and Florence Keller), of Columbus, Ohio, was selected by Hobart and William Smith College as the 1974 recipient of the Elizabeth Blackwell, M.D., award. The anniversary of the graduation of the first woman doctor trained in the Western hemisphere was chosen by Hobart College to hon- our the graduation of Dr. Blackwell from Geneva Medical College, New York. The United States Postal Ser- vice joined in the recognition by issu- ing a commemorative stamp to mark the occasion. This is the first postal stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Ser- vice honouring a woman physician. The award has been presented to seventeen women, among them being Frances Perkins, Margaret Mead, Marian Lasher, Marian Anderson, Helen Taussig and Catherine McFar- land. Dr. Harding was selected for her pioneering work in family plan- ning both in Australia and the United States and as immediate past-president of the American Medical Women's Association. The programme, re-enacting Dr. Blackwell's graduation in the Presby- terian church in Geneva, New York, was followed by a banquet at Hobart College, and a visit to the Blackwell Room in the college library took place on January 23, 1974, exactly 125 years after the original graduation. *Dr. Frances Harding and her husband, Dr. Warren G. Harding, spent some years in Australia during the 1930s on the staff of the Sydney Sanitarium (now the Syd- ney Adventist Hospital).

I turned and looked at his serious face. You see, there had been an emergency on the farm. The cows had broken through the fence and were devouring the next-door-neighbour's grass instead of their own, and both Father and Mother had been needed to get them back to their own pastures. So big sister had taken over the preparation of breakfast. Now with three heads of hair neatly combed and faces wiped clean of the remains of breakfast eggs, I thought my steps-and-stairs brothers were ready to go to school, so I ushered them towards the door. But I was wrong. I had quite forgotten no time at all before I was able to return "You have not taken time to instruct that we had not had family worship, and to where I had left my young charge. your children, keeping before them their this nine-year-old didn't feel ready to But as I gazed at the backs of the heads highest interest.

  • THE STORY of OUR HEALTH MESSAGE As a Part of the Convenient and Popular Christian Home Library
    The Story of OUR HEALTH MESSAGE The Origin, Character, and Development of Health Education in the Seventh-day Adventist Church By Dores Eugene Robinson Third Edition Revised and Enlarged SOUTHERN PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION Nashville, Tennessee Copyright, 1943, 1955, 1965, by SOUTHERN PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION (Printed in U.S.A.) -5- FOREWORD TO THE SECOND EDITION It is with deep satisfaction that we now present this new edition of THE STORY OF OUR HEALTH MESSAGE as a part of the convenient and popular Christian Home Library. In the several printings of the first edition, this volume has demonstrated its unique value and its rightful permanent place in the literature of the church. Seventh-day Adventists are known as a health-minded people—a denomination which in its evangelistic program places emphasis on the close relationship between physical well-being and spiritual life and growth. Only religious conviction and a concept which makes the health message a part of the third angel's message could motivate a health reform program which moves men and women in all parts of the world to adopt new and better living habits, and could lead the denomination to establish and operate a worldwide system of medical institutions. THE STORY OF OUR HEALTH MESSAGE takes the reader back to the times when the Seventh-day Adventist Church had its beginnings. These were times when the general public was quite ignorant concerning physiology and hygiene. The story of how God led His people to an understanding of the laws of nature which He had established to govern the human body is a thrilling one.

  • Pioneering the Message in the Golden West Preface
    Pioneering the Message in the Golden West by HAROLD OLIVER McCUMBER, Ph. D. PACIFIC PRESS PUBLISHING ASSN., MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. Brookfield, Illinois Cristobal, Canal Zone Omaha, Nebraska Portland, Oregon Copyright, 1946, by Pacific Press Publishing Association In memory of Lieutenant (j. g.) John James McNulty, USN., son-in-law of the author. Shortly after he was graduated from medicine in 1944, Lieutenant McNulty was detached with the 4th Marine Division as a medical officer. He died at his post of duty in the Pacific area. Preface This narrative is based on a well-documented thesis on the beginnings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in California which I prepared some years ago under the direction of my friend and teacher, Herbert E. Bolton, then chairman of the Department of History at the University of California, Berkeley. It has developed as a result of requests which have come to me to put this thesis into a less cumbersome form that would be of more interest to the general reader, especially the youth. Any movement which is attended by a degree of success attracts interest in its origin. In this age of mass demonstrations and swift governmental transitions, thoughtful students are examining more minutely the roots of our Americanism—its basic beginnings in Protestantism and democracy; and above the noise of winds which are sweeping us from nationalism into internationalism are still heard the voices of those seeking to preserve our national heritage of Christian democracy. It has been well said by Ralph Barton Perry in a recent work: "The chief source of spiritual nourishment for any nation must be its own past, perpetually discovered and renewed." This same principle is true in the church, and therein lies the reason for the recital of this narrative.

  • Southern California Conference
    Image not found or type unknown Southern California Conference RAYMOND D. TETZ Raymond D. Tetz has served as director of Communication and Community Engagement for the Pacific Union Conference since 2015. He served as vice president for strategic communication and corporate development at the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) from 1986 to 1995. For two decades, he successfully operated a consulting and media production company that served dozens of Adventist organizations and ministries. Tetz began his ministry in the Southern California Conference, initially serving as a pastor, Bible teacher, and youth director. Southern California Conference is an administrative unit of the Seventh-day Adventist church in the Pacific Union Conference. Territory: Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, that part of Kern County that lies south and east of the Tehachapi Mountains, and that part of Santa Barbara County that lies to the east of the 120th meridian. Statistics (June 30, 2020): churches, 128; membership, 38,971; population, 11,877,099.1 Origins John B. Judson became the first Adventist minister in southern California when he arrived in 1874 but his work was mainly in territory that ended up in Southeastern California Conference. Evangelism picked up with the arrival of William Healey, who held a series of tent meetings in downtown Los Angeles in 1879. This laid the foundations for the first Adventist church in southern California. After a couple of moves, it became known as the Central church.2 These were small beginnings. E. J. Waggoner refers to “the little company at Los Angeles” in an 1884 article in Signs of the Times.3 However, a second church group was soon organized in Norwalk in 1884, and it was the first to construct a church building.
