"Believe...and You Will Succeed"
Robert H. Pierson
DO YOU remember the stirring words of King Jehoshaphat to Judah when the struggling little nation was threatened by the military might of the Moabites and the Ammonites: "Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed" (2 Chron. 20:20, R.S.V.)?

FOR what nation is there so great," Moses asked, "who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?" (Deut. 4:7). He was speaking of the multitude of laws and statutes with which God had surrounded literal Israel for their protection and blessing. . .

WHEN I first learned about the plan to issue a special number of THE MINISTRY magazine emphasizing the role of the Spirit of Prophecy in the life and development of the church, particularly here in Europe, I became immediately enthusiastic about the idea.

L. H. Christian
The following article is a chapter taken from L. H. Christian's book Fruitage of Spiritual Gifts. This volume represents his own testimony of faith in the operation of the gift of prophecy among us. Since Mrs. White had been in Europe a relatively few years prior to the beginning of his work there, he was able to gather and record impressions of the faith of our European believers who remembered Mrs. White from her visit of 1885-1887. The reader will find Brother Christian's reminiscing stimulating to faith and to godly living and evangelistic endeavor.

T. Patrick Bradley
ELLEN G. WHITE was an international figure in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and back of that reputation was the fact that in her thinking she belonged to the world church and not just America. She was truly an international person.

Pollution of our atmosphere is a major health problem today associated mostly with life in the big cities. Years ago this threat to human survival was a topic of great concern to Ellen White. "Out of the cities," teas the solemn appeal of many of her written messages to SDA's. . .

BASIC statements from the pen of Ellen G. White in the fields of physiology, nutrition, and the care of the sick, stemming from the important health reform vision of June 6, 1863, were published in the mid-1860's in pamphlets and later in the Testimonies for the Church. . .

White
D. A. Delafield
I took the precious Bible and surrounded it with the several Testimonies for the Church, given for the people of God. Here, said I, the cases of nearly all are met. The sins they are to shun are pointed out. The counsel that they desire can be found here, given for other cases situated similarly to themselves. . . . The Testimonies are not to belittle the word of God, but to exalt it and attract minds to it, that the beautiful simplicity of truth may impress all.--Testimonies, vol. 5, pp. 664, 665.

Ellen G. White
A great work is committed to those who present the truth in Europe. No branch of our work has a more important field than the Central European Mission. There are France and Germany, with their great cities and teeming population. There are Italy, Spain, and Portugal, after so many centuries of darkness, freed from Romish tyranny, and opened to the word of God—opened to receive the last message of warning to the world. . .

God had a special purpose for Ellen Harmon's life. She would represent Him to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. In both the Old and New Testaments God communicated to specially chosen men and women called prophets. Since New Testament times, however, He had not chosen any particular person to bring His messages to the church over a long period of time. . .

Orley M. Berg
THE local elder is often asked to offer the pastoral prayer for the worship service. This is a solemn responsibility, and one that many an elder would much rather shy away from. Nevertheless it will continue to be expected of you as one of the spiritual leaders of the church. Here are a few suggestions that may guide you in making this prayer what God would want it to be. . .

Otto H. Christensen
RECENTLY I overheard one sister say to another following a preaching service, "Isn't he a powerful preacher?" It is not my intent to judge whether he was or was not, but I fell to meditating—Just what do we mean by "powerful preaching"? Wouldn't it be well for all of us to meditate on this and really become powerful preachers?

BEAUTY is a way of life to those who live in Sumiruna Ryo (the name of the girls' dormitory at Japan Missionary College). The college, built on rising ground overlooking a typical Japanese country scene of field and pine forests, has to its west Mount Fuji's snow-capped peak and blue Tokyo Bay.
