Castle Hill Youth (New South Wales) Raised $A18,000 in an Evening, Far astle Hill youth (New South CWales) raised $A18,000 in an evening, far surpassing their goal of $A5,000, to provide a team of young teachers to support the Eden Valley School for Karen refugees—such as the girl pictured—on the Thai Burmese border. e. A formal dinner held at the Baulkham Hills Council chambers, organised, prepared and served by Castle Hill youth, was attended by 150 people at a donation of $35 or more. Dr John Knight (better known as Dr James Wright) presented an entertaining and enlightening speech for the guests. Gifts acquired by youth pastor Darius Jankiewicz were vied for with substantial sums of money—a donation of $A1500 was made for a pot of soup. About 20 youth volunteers will leave with Ian Howie, Castle Hill youth coordinator and primary school curriculum director for the South Pacific Division, from December 20 to January 21, to tutor Eden Valley students and build the first permanent classroom block on land purchased by Helen Hall, the school director. If you want to support these young people, your tax-deductible donation may be sent to ADRA, 146 Fox Valley Road, Wahroonga, NSW 2076, account number 4570.54. "Some of us who are older tried to temper the ambitious predictions and schemes, to prepare the youth for disappointment," says church member Jeanette Kemp. "We failed. And they succeeded. Dreamers and idealists, yes, indeed. Thank God."

    Australasian Record and AdventWorld Survey Publication of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Australasian Division VOL. 87, NO. 5 February 1, 1982 DEAR WORLD, My young son starts school today. It's all going to be sort of strange and new for him for a while, and I wish you would sort of treat him gently. You see, up to now he's been king of the roost. He's been boss of the backyard. His mother has always been near to soothe his wounds and repair his feelings. But now things are going to be different. This morning he's going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand, and start out on the great adventure. It is an adventure that might take him across continents, across oceans. It's an adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow. To live his life in the world he will have to live in, will require faith and love and courage. So, World, I wish you would sort of look after him. Take him by the hand and teach him things he will have to know. But, do it gently, if you can. He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, that all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero, hat for every crooked politician there is a great and dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend. It will take time, World, I know. But teach him, if you can, that a -cent earned is of far more value than a dollar found.

Introduction According to Butler, “If publishing instigated (Seventh-day Adventist Church) organization, entry into medicine exerted as profound an impact on the nature of that organization as anything in Adventism.” 1 As noted by Ferret, “The progression from a counter-establishment health reform movement to accepted mainstream medical institutions has proved decisive in providing overall upward mobility for the movement, while simultaneously diluting its sectarianism.”2 It certainly appears that the embrace of modern medicine, with its scientific underpinning, has profited Adventism in substantial ways. Today the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church operates some 175 hospitals/sanitariums, 269 clinics and dispensaries, and some 21 health-food industries, all of which are hugely reliant on sophisticated technology.3 SDA health facilities are reliant on evidence-based [i.e.
