For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his wealthy father could well afford it, he told him that the sports car was ALL he wanted. As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disap- pointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" He stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and very ill. The son thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed Leslie N.

  • Chronology of Seventh-Day Adventist Education: 1872-1972
    CII818L8tl or SIYIITI·Ill IIYIITIST IIUCITIGI CENTURY OF ADVENTIST EDUCATION 1872 - 1972 ·,; Compiled by Walton J. Brown, Ph.D. Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ·t. 6840 Eastern Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20012 i/ .I Foreword In anticipation of the education centennial in 1972 and the publication of a Seventh-day Adventist chronology of education, the General Conference Department of Education started to make inquiries of the world field for historical facts and statistics regarding the various facets of the church program in education. The information started to come in about a year ago. Whlle some of the responses were quite detalled, there were others that were rather general and indefinite. There were gaps and omissions and in several instances conflicting statements on certain events. In view of the limited time and the apparent cessation of incoming materials from the field, a small committee was named with Doctor Walton J. Brown as chairman. It was this committee's responsibility to execute the project in spite of the lack of substantiation of certain information. We believe that this is the first project of its kind in the denomination's history. It is hoped that when the various educators and administrators re­ view the data about their own organizations, they will notify the Department of Education concerning any corrections and additions. They should please include supporting evidence from as many sources as possible. It is hoped that within the next five to ten years a revised edition may replace this first one. It would contain not only necessary changes, but also would be brought up to date.

  • Sabbath School: the Church at Study Vantage Point Managing Fear
    March 2014 SOUTHERN Sabbath School: The Church at Study Vantage Point Managing Fear Philippians 4 gives a formula for managing fear. When people are poised to re- joice, be gentle, pray, think, and act in accordance with God’s revealed will, there is progress toward the management of fear and control over anxiety. Various studies of military personnel on combat duty in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, reveal a few ways by which people defend themselves against fear. First, there is the development of self- confidence — a belief in one’s abilities to meet the challenges and dangers of life. Second, there is involvement in work and other activities that expends nervous energy and distracts from the fear-producing situation. This can be a healthy way to prevent excessive fear, unless the work becomes compulsive and a way to escape from the real dangers of life. Third, there is faith in the ability and confidence of leaders who can deal with the fear. Fourth, there is belief in God. Here are a few recommendations I will extend to you to address anxiety prevailing in the lives of people who suffer with inordinate concern and fear for the future: 1. Trust in God. The person who learns to walk in daily contact with God comes to agree with the hymn writer who wrote, “I know not what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.” This conviction can bring great security even when others are inclined to be fearful. At times, however, such trust leads to a blind denial of reality, to a refusal to ac- cept responsibilities, to a rigidity of thinking that ultimately prevents the person from adapting to changing circumstances.
