Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings; Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

— Percy Shelley

Education, p. 13. Seventh-day Adventist Christian education still impresses upon its students the primary necessity of service to others while attempting to place in perspective the various aspects of academic excellence, con- temporary trends and the acquisition of skills. A Christ-centered curriculum does not mean that the Bible should be the only text book and the nurture of green houses the only acceptable form of physical activity. After all, Christ himself demonstrated His awareness of contemporary needs Continued on page 5

Darryl received the award for risking his own life to save a young boy who was in difficulty in the water of Southwest Pond at the Newfoundland Adventist camp- ground. The incident took place during the summer of 1985. Darryl and his parents were guests of the Governor General at dinner and were given a guided tour of Ottawa. Darryl is the son of Frank and Phyllis Pearcey of Mount Pearl.

Today, in Canada, there are approximately 325 teachers ministering to just under 4000 students. Our system of education is alive, vibrant and growing! We know our weak- nesses. We are aware of our short comings but, as educators, we have bound ourselves together with the strong cords of God's love and are purposed to "save our children." Christian educators face the greatest challenges of our time. There is no other profession that moulds and shapes, forms and influences vul- nerable minds like teaching does. Yet, "it is possible for the most learned teacher to fall far short of teaching all that should be taught." Counsels to Parents and Teachers, p.:433.

The final evening, thirteen days after its beginning, 75 people were awarded the 'Bachelor of Non-smoking' (BNS) certificates for having successfully quit the habit. Almost all had a silver seal attached to their dip- loma, signifying perfect attendance for the whole program, and a large number also had a gold seal which showed that they had been off smoking since the 'coughing coffin' ceremony. The evening then devel- oped into a social event, with all sharing a huge cake, 45 inches in length, bearing the inscription 'I Love Being Free From Smoking'.

Bible classes and sincere by George P. Babcock Christian teachers rekindled my desire to follow the Lord, and I remained in Home Study International Adventist schools until I finally received my doctorate at Andrews University. In Christian schools I found teachers and friends who to this day encourage me in the Christian life. I found a wife who has stayed with me through illness, foreign living, and difficult financial times. Because of what Christian education did for me, I have sent both of my children exclusively to church schools, and I am more than pleased with the results. But the story does not end there. God led me into church school teaching and then into supervision. Because of this, I have been involved with Christian education from kindergarten to college. As a result, hardly a month goes by that some former student doesn't write or call or drop in to assure me that what I did to help him or her get a Christian education has paid off.

Referring to the difficulties the staff has encountered in getting the station built, Elder Wilson said that it was no longer a "time to mourn," but "there should be great cause for rejoicing." In a few brief moments, contrasting with the long months of preparation, Elder Wilson and Governor Ada cut the blue ribbon to the entrance of the station. The festivities closed with An island-style fiesta rounded out the activities of the AWR-Asia dedication services on January 18. Two local Adventists, Mariquita Taitague and Candy Santos, planned and organized the tours of the facility and a vegetarian meal, which consisted of vegetarian Chamorro (Guamanian) foods. They used woven palms and fiesta of Chamorro food served on other plants and fruits to decorate the tables.

MESSENGER/APRIL 1987 13 GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT: TEACHING Imre This is fifth in a series on the gift of the Spirit which the Messenger will feature during Harvest SO by Roy Naden

HOUT THEM very Sabbath sch- Woo1 division would be forced to close, every Bible class in academy and college would be cancelled, the theological seminary would cease to train the church's ministers, and the entire religious education of the church would shudder to a halt. Who are these vital people? They are those to whom Jesus has given the incredibly valuable gift of teaching. Those of us privileged to be ordained ministers sometimes give the impression that we think preaching is the greatest work given to man. And without a doubt the "foolishness of preaching" (1 Corinthians 1:21) has introduced multitudes to the Lord Jesus. But it is with teaching, not preaching, that the Lord and the apostle Paul are most frequently associated in Scripture. For this reason those who heard, or heard of the Lord, spontaneously referred to Him as "rabbi," teacher. On forty occasions the gospels refer to Jesus as "master," which means literally, teacher. The spiritual gift of teaching is first named in Romans 12, although illus- trated in the gospels and the book of Acts. Paul explains that all of us "have different gifts," and then he adds that if a person has the gift of "teaching, let him teach." Romans 12:6, 7, New International Version. It is through this gift that babes learn vital lessons in cradle roll and kindergarten divisions. It is through this gift that restless juniors and preteens experience the love of Jesus and are lead to surrender their lives to Him.
