If you can find such a woman, present tli a m matter fairly and squarely to her, tell her what she mon men have to endure at your hands, that she must go through lif prep without the silks, satins, and furs of other women, that must do without social life and the many other things thainto are attractive to her. If she is then willing to stand you and be a helpmeet, marry her. There is no man oi , earth who stands so close to Almighty God as the hones . doctor who has the inspiration of souls to heal as well a wni, bodies to heal. Ours is a double office. People lie to every the body but to the doctor, and sometimes to him. But w figh get nearer to the truth, we know more about the skeleton snt)1 in closets and about the inner history of the man, womai*jom and child in a family. We ought to know; it is the seci-et o; ^ our heart, and that gives us power. ^rhi "If, in addition to all the labor, self-sacrifice, self-denial niti loss of fame, and everything of that kind, you are still will inst ing to take the abuse that comes to you and yours, then thf S1C? practice of medicine is worth while. Will you be abused! Undoubtedly. You all know it. You will be misrepresentet resi and lied about and, like the Great Physician of Nazareth and after you have done your best you will be crucified. But il equ is worth while. Wouldn©t you rather today be the Man oi the Nazareth than all the Alexanders, Ceasars, and Napoleons! J, f In the history of the world, where are they now compared ^er to Jesus of Nazareth, the Great Physician, who went aboul tha doing good without a home indeed, without a place to laj for His head and without a meal arranged for in advance? If Dr, these are your ideals, to serve constantly to the best of yom I ability, to sacrifice everything sometimes even your healti in and life if you have before you the opportunity to be of j some good in this world and to make the world a little better, a little more fit for others, then what matters everything else?© wo SPENCER M.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
