Mary Jane Mitchell
The history of most peoples, nations, and organizations is preserved in libraries. This is certainly true of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination and its history.

Roland E. Loasby
An intimate knowledge of the Greek is not a sine qua non for the minister of the gospel. However, to assert that a sound insight into the language of his profession is an asset of prime value to the gospel worker is to make a statement that is accepted by unbiased people.

Earle Hilgert
It is a commonplace of New Testament study that the word "apostle" means "one who is sent." Beyond this, it is also interesting to know that this word, and probably also the office it designates, have a colorful background that throws light on the function of the Christian apostles in the early church.

W. G. C. Murdoch
To those who ask today, "What is truth?" there come a multitude of voices in response. How are we to answer this question?

Edward Heppenstall
Daniel 8:14 has long been one of the key texts in the scriptural foundation of the Adventist faith, and rightly so. The prophetic time period of the 2300 days, with its termination in the fall of 1844 and the commencement of the antitypical Day of Atonement, constitutes one of the main pillars of Adventist theology.

M. K. Eckenroth
I have had correspondence from a minister whose letterhead carries the inscription, "Department of Practical Theology." This is most heartening and assuring, for certainly this is the only kind of theology that in the final sum and substance is of any value.

Charles E. Wittschiebe
The seminary faculty and administration have now made it possible for a candidate for the Master's degree to obtain a major in the field of pastoral counseling and guidance, and for the B.D. candidate to include in his curriculum more courses in this area.

George W. Greer
We face today the most alarming situation in the field of music that has ever existed in our world. That which the Creator intended to be a source of spiritual strength and a constant stimulant to better living in preparation for the future land of joy and song, is too often taken over by another power, with devastating results.

White Writings and Current News Releases Part II
Arthur White
The Seventh-day Adventist who picked up the Scientific American in June, 1954, doubtless read with particular interest the article by W. Grey Walter entitled "The Electrical Activity of the Brain," and probably recalled some rather familiar statements in the Ellen G. White books, some even of early years.
