The Seventh-day Adventist school system is the largest Protestant school system abroad and the second-largest in the United States. The system had a humble beginning in a number of church-oriented schools conducted by individual families, groups of families, or local Seventh-day Adventist churches. The first official church school (elementary) was established in Battle Creek, , in 1872. The teacher was Goodloe H. Bell, pictured here teaching a group of Battle Creek Adventist children. Bell was born April 7, 1832-150 years ago (see page 4).

As an ardent supporter of the teachings on Christian Bell spoke tartly, "Mr. Jones is evidently asleep. Someone education being promulgated by Ellen White in the 1870s, please awaken him. " Dan replied that he was not asleep but was "hunting the paragraph." To which Bell replied, -Hunting! Hunting! Do people in Missouri hunt sitting down? Are you too weak to get up? Boost him, Brother Reavis, boost him!" Because of Bell's "thorough, hard work," Reavis believed that "many of the best early workers in the message owe their success" to this "all-round, thorough educator." ' Professor Bell's abilities as a teacher were felt in the Sabbath school, as well. Ellen White later said his labors there had "exerted an influence upon our people from the Atlantic to the Pacific." 5 Membership in his Battle Creek Sabbath school demanded more of its supporters in the 1870s than Sabbath schools do today. It was a school: its pupils were there to learn, and the head teacher made sure that they did. Reavis, who served as Sabbath school secretary under Bell, said that every member had to be able "to give a detailed synopsis, not only of the lesson of the day, but of every lesson studied from the beginning of the book, . . . and do it promptly and vigorously, whenever called upon in class or in general review. " He added ruefully, "And in those days we had reviews often." 6 Bell's teaching career at Battle Creek College unfortu- nately was terminated by the crisis early in 1882. Bell's personality clashed with the new principal, Alexander McLeam, who had accepted just before his appointment as president of the school in 1881. Under such circumstances it hardly could be expected that McLeam G. H.

Though the public posture of I asked the leading proponents of the the latter view, "What difference does it make as long as the reader considers the Bible reliable, trustworthy, and true as far as his salvation is concerned?" Norman Geisler, articulate professor of systematic theol- ogy at Dallas Theological Seminary, summed up their response: "It's a matter of people thinking that they may have found out how to go to heaven without knowing how heaven goes. It's a question of whether the Bible is all true, or partly true. Experience, in itself, is not a test of truth no matter how many liver shivers one feels. Neither is science the last word as to how to explain a miracle or the origin of the earth." Then Dr. Geisler said, "If Jesus is the Christian's Lord, the Christian should look at the Bible in the same way Jesus did." For Geisler, Jesus' words "" become a central theological concept. The concept that the Bible contains errors is a recent development within Christianity. Most of the universities

8 (368) ADVENTIST REVIEW, APRIL 22, 1982 The Jews for Jesus booth was typical of the booths sponsored by dozens of schools, publishing houses, and religious groups. the seminary or the church states one position, the drifting teacher or preacher thinks and teaches another. The issue, for these men, is not freedom but ethics. When a teacher or preacher comes to a place where he no longer can represent clearly without mental reservations the doctrine that he has sworn to uphold in his ordination vows, then he or she should be honest enough to say so and,find some other employment. I found all this very heavy material to ponder. Although these leaders were generous and gracious toward those with whom they differ, they did not mince words. They simply feel that the battle once fought in most churches in the late nineteenth century and later in the fundamentalism—mod- ernism debate is now heating up all over again within their own ranks. In their viewpoint, if the drift in evangelical ranks is not halted now, the battle may be lost forever within Christianity. Although misunderstanding over definitions and terms lies near the heart of the evangelicals' self-inflicted wound, there is more. Many evangelicals, who hold that the Bible no longer can be considered authoritative in matters involving historical or scientific statements, are permitting certain presuppositions to determine their view of the Bible. For example, if science suggests that we need more time to explain the Creation of the world than what Genesis seems to allow, then Genesis has to be understood not as a factual statement, but as a theological statement. That is, Genesis tells us about God, but not about the details of Creation. Result: Science determines what is true and what is not in the Bible. For some evangelicals, the book of Jonah is a theological statement rather than a record of an historical event. Result: Reason supersedes the Biblical story because such happen- ings defy logic and common sense. For some evangelicals the book of Daniel was written in the second century B.C., not in the sixth century B.C., despite the claims within the books itself that it was written by Daniel in the sixth century B.c. The reason: Prophecy is hard to take. Vigorous speakers picketed the entrance to the Congress on the My puzzlement deepened as I listened to evangelical Bible, objecting to the high cost of the convention and expensive leaders respond to questions about Genesis.

Most likely, the child has FOR THE YOUNGER SET rejected himself rather than his parents or his parents' religion. Just as Jesus loves the sinner but not the sin, parents learn to love their child regardless of what he or she has done or not done. This is very difficult for some parents; often they want to do too much. Many times they must simply "be still, and know that I am God" (Ps. 46:10). At other times Paul's counsel to the Christians at Corinth is more appropriate: Who owns your face? "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves" (2 Cor. 13:5).

Finally, the parents reach out to other children in the church. As a result of their own experience they realize some things they can do to help someone else's child have a stronger relationship with Christ. They pray for him, invite him to their home, talk with him, and, most important, listen to him. This is a threefold blessing—to the child, to the child's parents, and to themselves. Parents of nonaccepting children need not be discouraged. God has promised, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse" (Mal. 4:5, 6). Some children do repent. Parents must hope and pray earnestly that their child will be one of those who do. "Hearts that have been the battleground of the conflict with Satan, and that have been rescued by the power of love, are more precious to the Redeemer than are those who have never fallen.

He confessed, "Nothing I've ever done has given me half the pleasure I've found in this hour a day by myself." Everyone can gain great pleasure by setting time aside for study, experiment, exercise, writing, or some hobby. Ellen White once said that some people could have become thorough workmen if only they had used their time profitably. People will have to give account to God for misspent moments. Taking some time each day to study the Scriptures would be most beneficial for all. She continued: "It is the duty of every Christian to acquire habits of order, thoroughness, and dispatch. There is no excuse for slow bungling at work of any character. When one is always at work and the work is never done, it is because mind and heart are not put into the labor. "—Christ's Object Lessons, p. 344. Slowness can be corrected, and we must do all we can to correct this weakness. With time so short and so much to be done, may we take to heart these words: "Our time belongs to God. Every moment is His, and we are under the most solemn obligation to improve it to His glory. Of no talent He has given will He require a more strict account than of our time" .—Ibid. , p. 342. ❑
