Ellen G. White and Competitive Sports
WE DON'T have any record of the wins and losses of the Battle Creek College Bruisers or what ever they called their football team. Neither do we know who won the boxing matches in the basement of the college building. But Ellen G.

The Role of Rhythm in Church Music (Part 2)
HOW then shall we address ourselves to the very vital issue of rhythm in the church today? Certainly to try to dismiss or overlook the problem as irrelevant is only a vain attempt to side-step what is becoming an increasingly burning question.

Lady in a Yellow Smock
CAN Seventh-day Adventist medical institutions approximate and even surpass the level of care given by non-Adventist facilities and yet largely miss the fundamental reason for their existence? Is it possible for patients to enter and leave our institutions virtually untouched by the health message that is to play such an important role in soul winning?
