Leslie H. Pitton

Russell Quackenbush
For the past several years our church has sponsored a number of M.V. outings. These are week-end trips, most of which have been held in the Government-owned camp near Triangle, Virginia. These trips have been primarily for older M.V. members and the young married couples of our church. About seventy have usually gone.

Prudence Halstead Hill
When a young woman accepts the proposal of a young minister, it is her responsibility to understand the requirements of his profession or calling before she becomes his wife, and determine to enter into his work with genuine interest and enthusiasm.

J.R. Spangler
It is well to remember that our main object in advertising is to make sure that our efforts to place this message before the public are in harmony with the majesty of the truth which we represent, as well as to gain the attention of the people.

F. W. Detamore
We are in grave danger of making two mistakes in the matter of personal work. One is the danger of pressing one too far toward a decision who is not yet ready for it, and the other is failure in not giving enough help to one who is ready for the kingdom.

L.J. Ehrhardt
I do not believe that I need to emphasize the fact among our more experienced ministering brethren that it pays to advertise, if it is done wisely and decently.

LeRoy E. Froom
It is not to our credit that we are generally regarded as legalists, attempting to aid in our salvation by our own works, in other words, not saved solely by grace. Unfortunately, we are not without blame in this misconception.

LeRoy E. Froom
We have an acute shortage of real preachers of the Word. We lack masters of sound exposition. We have desperate need of giants in fundamental exegesis of the Bible.

Harold A. Miller
The more or less 'recent popularity of the "chorus song" may receive some comment to advantage. But let us avoid those songs which lean too strongly toward the secular, where the emotional element, fired by ragged rhythm, asserts itself unduly.

I do not know how you feel, but I think it is very significant that we are having a medical-ministry meeting working for the cities.

Roland F. Wilkinson
During the months of March and April of this year the Eugene Leland Memorial Hospital, Riverdale, Maryland, presented a series of lectures each Sunday evening for six weeks. These meetings were held in the gymnasium on the campus of the University of Maryland in College Park. The purpose of these meetings was a dual and co-ordinated presentation of the health and religious aspects of our message.

Daniel H. Kress
It is generally recognized that worry interferes with the normal functioning of the various organs of the body. Every cell is influenced by the condition of the mind. Many of the diseases afflicting mankind may have their origin wholly in the mind. All diseases are influenced by mental conditions. Music, or anything else that produces even temporarily a merry heart, may do good like a medicine, since it leads to forgetfulness of cares, anxieties, and worries. Possibly this is one of the reasons why there is music in the dining rooms of the large hotels and restaurants, which are entered by businessmen who are desirous of throwing off their worries for a short period.

Oscar B. Gerhart
Our radio programs and Bible correspondence schools are forcing us into a new type of evangelism. These new methods of proclaiming present truth have doubtless produced many thousands of potential Seventh-day Adventists throughout North America and elsewhere, and are in the process of bringing many more into sympathy with the three angels' messages.
