"What You Dare to Dream, Dare to Do"

Henry W. Petersen

I had been looking forward to the time when my sons and I could visit our home commu­nity in northern Minnesota and bring the three angels' messages to our relatives and friends through the literature ministry. This dream was translated into reality a year ago after the close of school.

Sabbathkeeping in our medical institutions *

Herman C. Ray

From the day that first medical unit opened in Battle Creek to the present time, each Sabbath, as it has come from week to week, has been a test both to the indi­vidual employee and also to the manage­ment of every Seventh-day Adventist medi­cal institution.

The Cleansing of the Sanctuary

G. D. Keough

This unsolicited article from a veteran Bible teacher will provoke thought on a subject of interest to our readers. We print it in the interest of objective study in an area that is at once both vital and, in the hands of the immature student, dangerous. It is therefore to be studied with care and reverence.

Biblical Languages—Are They Necessary?

N. Germanis

THE TITLE of this article may bring to many of my fellow ministers a recollection of the many, many hours spent poring over the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament during col­lege and seminary days. It may also bring to remembrance the many dis­cussions about the question, Is the study of Biblical languages really essential in our theology course?

Great Words of the Bible—No. 6: The Kingdom

Roland E. Loasby

The feminine abstract noun basileia is found in the New Testament more than 160 times. The primary meaning is "king­ship, royal power, royal rule." We mostly think of this term as "kingdom, territory, or the people ruled over by a king." We tend to ignore the first and basic meaning when we dis­cuss the kingdom.

The Days of Our Years

Louise C. Kleuser

AT THE creation of our world God pronounced His divine purpose for the heavenly bodies. In the course of time God spoke to Moses and Aaron, ancient Israel's spiritual lead­ers, instructing them regarding a change in the beginning of the year. At this time the Feast of the Passover was instituted.

Principles of Biblical Interpretation*: Part I. The Continuing Quest for Truth

Raymond F. Cottrell

The commission of the Holy Spirit to guide the church into all truth is as valid today as it was in apostolic times. It is our favored privilege and sacred duty to accord Him the opportunity to perform for us in this generation His ap­pointed task of leading men onward in the quest for a more perfect understanding of the character, will, and ways of the Infinite One as set forth in His Holy Word.

A Preacher's New Year Resolve

Roy Allan Anderson

New Year is a time for re­flection and re-evaluation; a time when it seems easier to take inventory of ourselves and our service. At this season a wise minister maps out his work for the ensuing months.
