EVII Ew and Herald R OFF 'C rt 02CA'i CF THE SC, PITH DA,' AL,P171.7 ,:HLI EVII Ew and Herald November 18, 1965 Vol, 142 No. 46 By VIVIAN L. JOHNSON Brunswick, Maine Ingathering is a term peculiar to Seventh- day Adventists, and judging by the adjectives sometimes used with it, it is not always a popular word. Occasionally, even ministers, overburdened by goals, objectives, and multi- tudinous other problems, sigh as they see In- gathering time roll around again. A few church members shrug off the re- sponsibility as belonging to the minister, the church missionary secretary, and a certain few "talented" people who "do it every year." "It's not for me," they say. (To page 8) Ingathering calls for a great variety of talents and offers rich rewards. HE booh of Hebrews differs from the 13 acknowl- edged Epistles of Paul by being written anony- • PART—1 mously. All of Paul's other letters begin with the personal name of the apostle, in Greek as in our Eng- lish versions, and. are generally accepted as being Authored by The Epistle to the Hebrews, however, 'nowhere identifies its author. Moreover, its literary style differs from that of-the other 13 Epistles to such a marked degree that scholars have questioned whether it could have come, from the pen or the mind of Paul. These considerations pose a fascinating problem for Bible students. If Paul did not compose the letter, who did? e/ Whoever wrote it would need an ability and an authority as great as, or greater than, Paul's in order to produce a book of the caliber of Hebrews. In response to this challenge reputable scholars have advanced sug- gestions, each c f which merits study, although none can to tilt be given more than passing mention in our brief survey. A case has been set forth for authorship by.Paurs early, companion Rumbas - (Actti 37;' 1$:1-4); also for Luke ,the evangelist 'and beloved physician (Col. 4:14; 2 Tim. 4:11), for Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:1.3), and for Apollos (Acts 18:24-28). Some of these suggestions are attractive, but all are built on slender foundations tbrews and represent little more than attempts to find a candi- date besides Paul, whose claims are indisputably stronger than those for any of his competitors. These claims we shall now examine in some detail.

But since it'reflects persistent tradition that the great apostle was indeed the writer of the letter, it should be given some weight in any search for the authoi, Qf greater value is, the fact that the Eastern branch of the Christian Church, with its centers at Antioch, Caesarea, erusalem, and Alexandria, accepted the Pauline author- ship of the epistle by the middle of the second, century.

  • 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.

World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.

  • Yun-Foh Chong, Joshua (1911–1999)
    Image not found or type unknown Yun-Foh Chong, Joshua (1911–1999) FAI LEONG Fai Leong began his pastoral ministry in Kuala Lumpur in 1980, after he graduated from Hong Kong Adventist College. At the time of writing, he was the president of the Peninsular Malaysia Mission. Joshua Yun-Foh Chong was an Adventist minister and educator who served in China, Malaysia (Sarawak and Peninsular) and Singapore. Early Life Joshua Yun-Foh Chong was born on April 17, 1911, to a Lutheran elementary school teacher’s family in Xinning, a town located in the Hakka district of Guangdong Province in China. He was the fifth of twelve siblings. His father, Sook Au Chong, was brought up in a traditional Chinese family with traditional religious practices. Before Chong’s birth, Sook Au and his wife Mei Hwa had accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior after a plague that had taken the lives of most of their fellow villagers, including Sook Au’s parents and all his siblings who lived in a village near Xinning. The small family of six managed to escape the “Black Death” only because they had moved to their in-laws’ house eighty kilometers away from the outbreak.1 Chong spent the first six years of his childhood in a small mission school compound in Xinning before his father was transferred to teach the Chinese language at a secondary school in Meizhou. The school in Meizhou had a large compound encompassing a primary school and a big church building. He received his primary and secondary education in Meizhou.2 At the close of the last semester of Chong’s high school education, he suffered severe diarrhea that no physician in the town could cure.

NEWSTART AT YOUNGBERG ADVENTIST HOSPITAL Dr. S. F. Clarence Ing, American Board-Certified Ophthalmologist with excellent personal experience in reconditioning programs, and his Singaporean wife, May, organized and led out in Youngberg Adventist Hospital's first two NEWSTART programs. The first NEWSTART program was held at the hospital during the Chinese New Year holidays, February 17 to 21, 1985. A second program was held April 14 to 18, 1985. NEWSTART is a live-in life-style reconditioning program with emphasis on the natural remedies of nutrition, exercise, water, sunshine, temperance, air, rest, and trust in Divine Power. The aim is to promote total well-being through God's simple natural methods. A total of eleven persons attended the first five day session. Thirteen registered for the second session. The first group ranged in age from 22 to 81 years of age. The health profile of the group revealed six with heart disease. Heart attacks had been experienced by four individuals. One had had coronary by-pass surgery eleven months before. The second group included another individual with a coronary by-pass history, a few with high blood pressure, and a .larger percentage interested in loosing weight. Those with the most severe heart disease had a test walk under the direct supervision of a physician. A physician continued to supervise their subsequent exercise, for one had recurrent angina pains and another feared she might have trouble.
