Adminis- trative and workers' lists have been furnished by the organizations concerned. In cases where current reports were not received, previous official and personnel rolls have been retained or adjusted to the best information available. Below ap- pears data summarized largely from the 1944 Statistical Report, the one last issued at this date. The number of churches and the church membership in each of the confer- ences in North America are those reported at the close of the third quarter, 1945. In fields outside of North America the church and membership statistics at the close of 1944 have been used except in a few instances where the organizations themselves have reported later figures. Populations of conferences in North Amer- ica are based on the 1940 census reports; and population figures for other fields have been furnished largely from the different Division or Union offices. The names and addresses of workers in official positions who hold misfionary credentials have been included in the Workers Directory in addition to ordained and licensed ministers. A separate index of principal workers employed in educa- tional, publishing and medical institutions is also given. The Seventh-day Adventist denomination was organized May 21, 1863, with a constituency of 125 churches and 3,500 members. The work was largely confined to North America until the year 1874, when the first missionary, Elder J. N. Andrews, was sent to Switzerland. Gradually other countries were entered. In 1886 a minister went to Russia, the first non-Protestant country in which this work was started. The schooner "Pitcairn" was launched in San Francisco Bay on July 28, 1890, and was soon prepared to carry groups of missionaries to various Pacific islands. In 1894 Seventh-day Adventist workers first entered a heathen land, opening a mission in Matabeleland, South Africa. South America was entered the same year, and Japan in 1896. Since 1901 to the close of 1945, 5,215 missionaries have been sent out for mis- sion service in various lands, occupying all of the larger countries of the world and many of the islands of the sea. Twenty-nine thousand six hundred and-sixty- five evangelistic and institutional workers were using more than 600 languages and modes of speech in their gospel service. The membership of the 9,351 Seventh-day Adventist churches throughout the world in 1944 was 557,768. There were 69 union conferences and missions, 135 local conferences, 192 regularly organized mission fields, and 557 institutions. Of the 29,665 laborers, 11,158 were in North America, and 18,507 in other countries. The funds in tithes and offerings contributed in 1944 by Seventh-day Adventists were the largest ever raised by the denomination during any one year. The amount of $28,685,434.11 was a per capita contribution of $51.43 for every member in the world field. In North America alone the per capita giving in tithes and offerings was $109.28. The Statistical Report showed that there were 61 Seventh-day Adventist pub- lishing houses and branches, whose book and periodical retail sales in 1944 were $8,509,267.09. These publishing houses employed 1,106 workers in producing this literature, and 3,440 more were engaged in its distribution. Seventh-day Adventist literature has been printed in 185 languages, and there were 280 periodicals issued. The enrollment in the 14,602 Sabbath schools was 669,863, and the annual Sabbath school contributions were $3,544,888.34. Sanitariums, hospitals, and treat- ment rooms, to the number 184 engaged in the care of the sick, with 5,885 physi- cians, nurses, and other attendants, who treated 856,211 out-patients and 100,857 in-patients during 1944. There were 3,116 elementary schools, and 285 secondary and advanced schools with 6,908 teachers employed, and an enrollment of 136,517 pupils. At the close of the 1943-44 school year 1,045 students entered some branch of denominational work. The property value of all organizations and institutions collected with the Sev- enth-day Adventist denomination, including churches, at the close of 1944 was $100,443,162.13. The total amount of funds in tithes and offerings contributed since the organi- zation of the Seventh-day Adventist. General Conference in 1863 to the close of 1944 was $384,500,973.92. Literature sales for the same period were registered as $152,456,924.71. 3 FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS Seventh-day Adventists hold certain fundamental beliefs, the principal features of which, together with a portion of the scriptural references upon which they are based, may be summarized as follows: 1. That the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by inspiration of God, contain an all-sufficient revelation of His will to men, and are the only unerring rule of faith and practice. 2 Tim. 3:15-17. 2. That the Godhead, or Trinity, consists of the Eternal Father, a personal, spiritual Being, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, infinite in wisdom and love; the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal Father, through whom all things were created and through whom the salvation of the redeemed hosts will be accomplished; the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, the great regenerating power in the work of redemption. Matt. 28:19. 3. That Jesus Christ is very God, being of the same nature and essence as the Eternal Father. While retaining His divine nature He took upon Himself the nature of the human family, lived on the earth as a man, exemplified in His life as our Example the principles of righteousness, attested His relationship to God by many mighty miracles, died for our sins on the cross, was raised from the dead, and ascended to the Father, where He ever lives to make intercession for us. John 1 :1, 14 ; Heb. 2 :9-18 ; 8 :1, 2 ; 4 :14-16 ; 7 :25. 4. That every person in order to obtain salvation must experience the new birth ; that this comprises an entire transformation of life and character by the recreative power of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:16; Matt. 18:3; Acts 2:37-39. 5. That baptism is an ordinance of the Christian church and should follow repentance and forgiveness of sins. By its observance faith is shown in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. That the proper form of baptism is by immer- sion. Rom. 6:1-6 ; Acts 16:30-33. 6. That the will of God as it relates to moral conduct is comprehended in His law of ten commandments ; that these are great moral, unchangeable precepts, binding upon all men, in every age. Ex. 20:1-17. 7. That the fourth commandment of this unchangeable law requires the observ- ance of the seventh day Sabbath.

  • Ward Their Work As a Consequence of This Wider Conception of Social Service
    676 LEGISLATION AND PRINCIPAL EVENTS ward their work as a consequence of this wider conception of social service. Charity has been so organized as to aim at the prevention rather" than the mere palliation of destitution. Hospital authorities, too, have been convinced that prevention is better than cure, and have organized out-patient departments for the dissemination of medical information and assistance among the poorer classes. The great prob­ lems of feeble-mindedness and venereal disease have also been courageously attacked, and considerable progress has been made in arousing the public mind and conscience to the greatness of the dangers resulting from these scourges of humanity. All these activities above described have led to an active demand for the services of trained social workers. The universities were called upon to supply such workers, and in 1914 the University of Toronto opened its Department of Social Service, the first institution in Canada to pro­ vide regular academic training for social workers. The success of this venture led to the establishment of similar departments in other Canadian universities, notably McGill and the University of Montreal, while Queen's, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba Universities have offered part time courses or special lectures on topics of social service. To co-ordinate the social activities of the agencies above de­ scribed, the Social Service Council of Canada was established in 1907. It consists of a federal union of eighteen Dominion-wide bodies and nine provincial Social Service

    00131-05 Lambert Article_Layout 2012-10-30 8:17 PM Page 89 No Choice But to Look Elsewhere: Attracting Immigrants to Newfoundland, 1840-1890 CAROLYN LAMBERT Au 19 e siècle, Terre-Neuve était entraînée dans la marche de l’Amérique du Nord vers le progrès. À compter des années 1840, le désir de mettre en valeur l’intérieur du territoire était présent dans le discours de ses politiciens, selon qui la diversification économique – en particulier le développement de l’agriculture – libérerait la population de sa dépendance envers les ressources côtières. Incapables d’amener les pêcheurs à se tourner vers l’agriculture, les autorités publiques en vinrent à croire qu’elles devraient trouver ailleurs les individus qui permettraient à Terre-Neuve d’aller de l’avant. Conscients qu’une immigration à grande échelle était impossible à cause des contraintes géographiques, les contemporains fondaient leurs espoirs sur la venue d’un petit nombre d’agronomes qualifiés des îles Britanniques. Cependant, aucun gouvernement ne formula une politique officielle d’immigration, et les stratégies d’immigration proposées demeuraient prudentes. Nineteenth-century Newfoundland was caught up in North America’s drive towards progress. The desire for landward development was present within political discourse from the 1840s onwards, politicians arguing that economic diversification – particularly agricultural development – would free the population from coastal resource dependency. Failure to entice fishermen to farm led officials to believe that individuals to push Newfoundland forward would have to be found elsewhere. Contemporaries were aware of the geographic limitations preventing large-scale immigration, and hoped for a small number of skilled agriculturalists from the British Isles.

  • DAY of DESTINY
    DAY of DESTINY THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH DAY By Carsten Johnsen 1982 Carsten Johnson Printed in USA by: US Business Specialties Yucaipa, California 92399 Preface This book was accepted for publication by Review and Herald Publishing Association more than a decade ago. In fact, its acceptance seemed enthusiastic and unanimous. But then, suddenly and unexpectedly, it was dropped. The only reason alleged by the Book Editor of those days, in a letter to the author, was the following: The book was too un-popular to guarantee the sale of at least 5000 copies within a limited period of time, necessary in order to "break even." A couple of years later the manuscript was accepted for publication by Andrews University Press, but again unexpectedly dropped. This time the reason given was: The book was too popular (not sufficiently academic, particularly in its style). The author happens to know some other reasons why the men whose verdict is decisive in matters of this order, will tend to go against the publication of such a book. And the reader will soon understand a good deal--and, by and by, more and more--of the great battle which is here going on. But the more urgent would it seem that the book be made available to a wide group of readers who will be greatly benefited, and pleased, to receive the unusual information it provides regarding some highly controversial topics. You may of course be among those disturbed by an increasing awareness that an unprecedented drama is in the process of shaking the very foundations of our lives in terms of having time-honored and long-cherished beliefs overthrown in circles of serious Bible students from whom you would never have expected it.

  • Tocado Por Nuestros Sentimientos
    TTOOCCAADDOO PPOORR NNUUEESSTTRROOSS SSEENNTTIIMMIIEENNTTOOSS Jean R. Zurcher 1 Prefacio Desde que yo era un niño pequeño, al comienzo de 1920, mis padres me enseñaron que el Hijo de Dios vino a este mundo con la herencia física semejante a la de cualquier otro bebé humano. Sin destacar Su línea de ascendencia de pecadores, ellos me contaron de Raab y David, y enfatizaban que, a pesar de Su herencia física, Jesús vivió una vida perfecta como niño, joven y adulto. Ellos me decían aun que Cristo comprendía mis tentaciones, pues fue tentado como yo, y que deseaba conferirme poder para vencer como El lo hizo. Eso me impresionó profundamente, pues me ayudó a ver a Jesús no apenas como mi Salvador, sino como un ejemplo, y a creer que por Su poder yo podría vivir una vida victoriosa. En años posteriores aprendí que la enseñanza de mis padres con respecto a Jesús estaba bien apoyada en la Biblia, y que Ellen G. White, la mensajera del Señor para la iglesia remanente, dejó clara esa verdad en numerosas declaraciones, como las que siguen a continuación: 2 “Que los niños tengan en mente que el niño Jesús tomó sobre Sí mismo la naturaleza humana, en semejanza de carne pecaminosa, y fue tentado por Satanás como todos los niños lo son. Él fue capaz de resistir a las tentaciones de Satanás a través de la dependencia del divino poder de Su Padre celestial, mientras estuviese sujeto a Su voluntad y obediente a todos Sus mandamientos”. Youth’s Intructor, 23 de Agosto de 1894. “Jesús tuvo vuestra edad.
