"In This They Are Robbing God"
G. R. NASH, Secretary Sabbath School Department,
General Conference
In the year 1879, Mrs. E. G. White made the following statement in the Youth's Instructor:
"It is a sad failing with many that they are always
behind time on Sabbath morning. They
are very particular about their own
time; they cannot afford to lose an
hour of that; but the Lord's time, the
only day out of the seven that the
Lord claims as His and requires us
to devote to Him, quite a portion of
this is squandered away by sleeping
late in the morning. In this they are
robbing God. It causes them to be
behind in everything; it makes confusion in the family; and finally reG. R. Nash
sults in the tardiness of the entire
family at Sabbath school, and perhaps at meeting. Now
why can we not rise early with the birds and offer
praise and thanksgiving to God? Try it, brethren and
sisters. Have your preparations all made the day
before and come promptly to the Sabbath school and
meeting, and you will thereby not only benefit others,
but you will reap rich blessings for yourselves." (Italics
supplied.)
Human nature is slow to change, so probably the
above admonition is still timely. The exhortation of the
apostle not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together is of increasing significance as the end draws near.
When the record of probationary time comes to a close,
as it soon will for each of us, the Sabbath school attendance record will without doubt be included. Should not
our weekly faithfulness be such that we shall not dread
to see this feature of our lives revealed?
The Sabbath school is a gathering of groups for the
study of the Bible. The purpose is to win souls to Christ
and establish them in the faith. Regularity in attendance
is vital to the success of the over-all plan. It is more
necessary in the Sabbath school than in the day school
or the college, for the sessions are farther apart, and
one absence means an interval of two weeks between
lessons.
The Sabbath school attendance should be substantially greater than the church membership. There are
at least two reasons for this. One is that every Seventhday Adventist family sends the children to the Sabbath
school from their very earliest years, long before they
are old enough to be baptized and join the church. Another is that in its very nature the Sabbath school is a
missionary agency and should ever be on the lookout
for non-Adventist friends and neighbors who may be
drawn to this service of informal Bible study by a welcoming, persuasive word of invitation.
Although the Sabbath school is recognized as a most
effective agency for soul winning and also for spiritual
growth and development, it is unfortunately true that
there are a few who habitually absent themselves. We
do not refer particularly to the aged or the infirm, or
to the isolated. We do not mean those who are actually
unable to attend. They can be members of the Extension
Division. We have in mind those who are among the
missing for no apparent reason except indifference. Of
course, we all work hard during the week and are
naturally tired and sleepy on Sabbath morning. It
takes effort to overcome our feelings and get to Sabbath
school on time. The devil will always do his utmost to
convince us that we might just as well stay home where
we can relax and read at the same time. But even as
we try to persuade ourselves by this line of reasoning,
we know that the argument is not genuine. I have never
yet heard a good excuse for habitual absence from the
house of God during the Sabbath school hour by any
able-bodied individual within reasonable distance of
the church.
If we have been somewhat negligent in our regularity at Sabbath school, let us here resolve that the
coming Sabbaths, so far as our human limitations make
it possible, will find us in our pews on time.
Some may be present but in some neighboring or
distant Sabbath school. They are truants as far as their
home Sabbath school is concerned. Someone says, "Why
ought we to attend where our membership is? Why
all this urgency about attending the 'home' Sabbath
school each week?"
I would answer, "You can be a better Christian."
People who continually visit around in different Sabbath schools do not develop into strong Christians. They
become "samplers" who soon become satiated and critical.
The lack of local Sabbath school interest and responsibility makes them bored; they become disinterested and
go irregularly, or quit going altogether.
Attending where we live enables us to accomplish

DOUGLASS EWING,
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the fourth in a series of articles written
by the youth in reporting their views on the recent Youth Congress.)
"Let's return home and make the Southwestern Union
the fastest growing union in America," challenged Elder L. C.
Evans. "Two thousand baptisms in 1961 is our goal."
It is the last night of the great Southwestern Union Youth
Congress. It has been a congress filled with inspiration and
challenge. And tonight is the night that we, the delegates,
are given the opportunity to dedicate ourselves and dedicate
our churches to the challenge of Operation Blueprint.
I find myself among the crowd of eager delegates pressing
forward to the front of the auditorium. We are eager to light
our church on the great map twelve to fifteen feet in width.
As the name of my church is called, I go and flip the switch,
showing that my church and its youth are going home to work
for souls as they have never done before. Whether it be Operation Fireside, Operation Lamplighter, Friendship Teams, or
the Voice of Youth program, we are eager to carry out one
of the programs we have learned about at Youth Congress.
We now find ourselves filing out of the auditorium. The
Southwestern Youth Congress is over, but the zeal that is in
our hearts will last until we gather with our Saviour to go
with Him to that Great Youth Congress in the sky.
"The Saviour has given His precious life in order to
establish a church capable of caring for sorrowful, tempted
souls. A company of believers may be poor, uneducated, and
unknown ; yet in Christ they may do a work in the home, the
neighborhood, the church, and even in 'the regions beyond,'
whose results shall be as far-reaching as eternity."
"It is because this work is neglected that so many young
disciples never advance beyond the mere alphabet of Christian
experience. The light which was glowing in their own hearts
when Jesus spoke to them, 'Thy sins be forgiven thee,' they
might have kept alive by helping those in need. The restless
energy that is so often a source of danger to the young might
be directed into channels through which it would flow out
in streams of blessing. Self would be forgotten in earnest
work to do others good." Desire of Ages, pages 640-641.
THE RECORD

Challenge of VBS Evangelism
Invest for Security
Wm. J. HARRIS, Associate Secretary
General Conference Sabbath School Department
R. H. ADAIR, Assistant Treasurer
General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
Millions of boys and girls, lost and unsought for!
Millions beginning a life of crime, many of whom will
live lives of debauchery. Yes, many of these millions
are living today around and not far distant from good
Seventh-day Adventist churches. They know nothing
of God's love; they have never seen a Bible, and prayer
is as foreign to them as a heathen's plea for salvation.
Yet we are told, "The soul of the little child that believes in Christ is as precious in His sight as are the
angels around His throne." Testimonies, vol. 4, p. 591.
Is it possible, with this great mission field at our
very finger tips, that we could sit in calm complacency
and close the doors of our Sabbath school against this
great need? Vacation Bible School opens a new door
of vast opportunity for Sabbath school leaders and members to reach out to these unsaved multitudes.
We have the promise, "The sparks of heavenly love
will fall upon the hearts of the children as an inspiration. We may bring hundreds and thousands of children
to Christ if we will work for them." Counsels to Teachers,
p. 172. Children are susceptible to the Word of God,
just as they are likewise susceptible to the scheming devices of the evil one. Possessing the truths of salvation
and the means to save multitudes of these little ones,
we cannot be irresponsible for their eternal destiny.
God has given to us that we might give to others the
precious water of life eternal. If we withhold our light,
our lamps will go out, and we ourselves will be left in
darkness. This must never be. Let us lay plans now that
the summer vacation months will find our Sabbath school
faithfully toiling in behalf of Vacation Bible Schools.
Not only will it be a means of bringing salvation to
many unsaved children, but it will also be a blessing to
our own children and our own Sabbath schools. It will
revitalize the spirit of evangelism in the entire church.
It will break down prejudice and create good will
throughout the community. As a matter of fact, a Sabbath school neglecting this type of soul-winning work
loses a tremendous advantage and a wonderful blessing.
We have never heard of a Vacation Bible School that
did not bring inspiration and new courage to all who
joined in its soul-saving activity.
Last summer more than 1,300 Sabbath schools opened
their doors to the boys and girls of the community and
invited them in to study God's Word through Vacation
Bible School lessons. Over a hundred and eight thousand
children enrolled in Seventh-day Adventist Bible Schools.
Who can measure the results of this kind of Sabbath
School Evangelism? Thousands of non-Adventist children are now attending our regular Sabbath schools,
thousands are enrolled in Branch Sabbath Schools and
Pathfinder Clubs, and many hundreds are taking the
Junior Voice of Prophecy Correspondence Lessons.
Pastors, superintendents, Sabbath school officers, call
your Sabbath school council together and lay plans for
a Vacation Bible School this very summer. Order a Vacation Bible School Instruction Kit; get ready early for
one of the most wonderful soul-winning experiences your
Sabbath school has ever had. "As you try to make plain
the truths of salvation, and point the children to Christ
as a personal Saviour, angels will be by your side."
The Desire of Ages, p. 517.
In these perplexing days we are often reminded of
the many statements of Scripture which are being fulfilled so accurately in the events that are taking place
around us. Surely these are days, for instance, when
"men's hearts are failing them for fear."
As human beings we tend to allow our minds to
dwell upon the untoward conditions that exist and
rightly refer to them as events that are fulfilling Bible
prophecy. God, through His Word, has been good to
those who believe, and truly we do not need to "walk
in darkness."
There is, however, a wider vista that the Lord would
have us enter. The days ahead are to be the greatest
days for God's people — days that are to lead into eternity and the fulfillment of many of the great and precious
promises relating to the deliverance of God's people and
the future life in His kingdom.
One of the most definite prophecies which is being fulfilled in this our day is that found in Matthew 24:14.
"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall
the end come." The gospel is being preached in all the
world, but so much more needs to be done before the
work can be considered finished.
Today is our day of opportunity, for as Jesus said,
"The night cometh when no man can work." We have
witnessed the closing of some lands for the proclamation
of the message, and in these days the "King's business
requireth haste."
We have opportunities in our Sabbath schools and
in other ways to give financial support to the promulgation of the message in other lands. To supplement these
resources and to provide that "little extra" which is so
much needed in the mission fields of the world, our
members have for many years participated in what we
all know as the Sabbath School Investment Plan.
The Sabbath School Department has planned to
make 1961 a big year for Investment. The goal is to
encourage the participation of the Sabbath school membership in the Investment Plan, suggesting that the
school financial goal be based on an average of $3.00
to $5.00 per member.
We should like to bring before our members at this
time the great need in the mission fields and of the great
privilege of "investing" through the Sabbath School
Investment Plan during this year 1961.

more for the Lord. We can with enthusiasm invite other
people to attend "our" Sabbath school and church. The
apostle Paul once said, "Whatever you are doing, let
your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the
Lord and not for men." (Col. 3:23, Weymouth).
Let us personally resolve that just as far as possible
we will not be absentees, but that we will be present
and on time each week in our own home Sabbath school.
May we do all that we can to build up our Sabbath
school attendance in the Southwestern Union Conference
is my earnest prayer.

Fifteen years of progress — a real asset to the community, as well as to our denomination, is the ultra-modern Ardmore Sanitarium and Hospital. The hospital was first operated as a self-supporting institution in 1946 and was given to the Oklahoma
Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in 1958. With the support of its members and citizens of the community, the conference constructed the half-million dollar facility which opened in May of 1959. The hospital celebrated its 15th anniversary
with various activities during National Hospital Week, May 7 to 13.
Ardmore Sanitarium and Hospital
National Hospital Week, May 7 to 13, 1961
The Ardmore Sanitarium and Hospital celebrated its
15th anniversary during National Hospital Week, May
7 to 13, 1961. This hospital was established as a proprietary institution in 1946. The following Seventh-day
Adventist physicians assisted in its procurement and incorporation as a self-supporting institution of our denomination : Doctors Floyd E. Bates, J. B. McConnell,
A. W. Truman and Ethel M. Walker.
Birthday present! Climaxing their 15th anniversary birthday
celebration, the Ardmore Sanitarium and Hospital was presented a new 1961 Ford pickup, compliments of the 0. A.
Johnson Trust and Southwestern Foundation. Mr. Robert
Trimble, left, hospital administrator, gladly accepts the keys
to the truck from Mr. Hershel Billingsley, trustee of the foundation.

A proprietary organization operated the facility until
1958, when their Board of Directors voted to turn over
the capital assets of its organization to the Oklahoma
Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, if they would
accept the challenge of constructing a new facility. The
Oklahoma Conference accepted the challenge, and with
the support of its members and the citizens of Ardmore,
constructed a new, nearly half-million-dollar hospital,
which was opened in May of 1959.
The new hospital has two divisions. There are 32 beds
in the general hospital providing the following services:
medical, obstetrical, surgical and pediatrics; 12 beds in
the chronic disease division with the very latest equipment and qualified personnel directing the ancillary
service. The old hospital's first floor was converted into
a third division, geriatrics, having 25 beds, or a total of
69 beds for patient care in the three existing divisions.
Percentage-wise, the occupancy for 1959 averaged
52.3 fir ; in 1960 it rose to 82(4 . In 1959, we served 1,301
patients; in 1960, we had an increase and served 1,615
patients. For the first four months, ending April 30,
1961, the occupancy for all three divisions averaged
84.8,4. In 1960, the hospital furnished $25,000 of free
service to patients who could not afford to pay anything
for hospitalization, or for patients who could make only
partial payment. Certainly the Lord has blessed His
work at this institution in our being able to provide
this service.
During National Hospital Week, the Ardmore Hospital Auxiliary, which has a membership of 63 women
and 32 Volunteens, who are either juniors or seniors in
high school, and are being sponsored by the auxiliary to

The Ardmore Sanitarium and Hospital celebrated its 15th

and amusement rides. Souvenirs and refreshments were
enjoyed by all that attended. As special guests, the
auxiliary invited the Carter Seminary School, which
serves 125 Indian children.
During National Hospital Week, Florence Nightingale's birthday was observed, and the auxiliary honored
all professional nurses in the district with a refreshment hour at the local Y.M.C.A. They also invited the
Volunteens, to help them become more acquainted with
professional nursing as a career.
In keeping with this year's National Hospital Week
theme, "Our Hospital — a Community Partnership,"
the hospital was an appreciative recipient of a new
1961 Ford pickup truck. The keys are being presented in

Faith for Today Offering
Report Is Encouraging
Faith for Today's staff, led by Pastor William A.
Fagal, voiced in unison their deep gratitude to God for
the reported sum of almost $145,000 given thus far by
North American church members in response to the
annual appeal made recently. "This is God's answer
through the hearts of His followers to the urgent
need for funds to maintain and expand the ministry
of television in these closing hours of time. It is
hoped that the final tally will exceed the $175,000 projected goal," declared Pastor Fagal.
Announcement of the offering was made by Joseph
Webb, treasurer, in behalf of Faith for Today which is
now in its second decade of continuous religious network
telecasting. "This amount exceeds the amount reported
at this time last year. Reaching the projected goal of
$175,000 is vital in order that the telecast may push
ahead this year with plans to meet the tremendous
opportunities and challenges that are coming to us via
this medium of communicating to the multitudes God's
message for this hour," stated the program treasurer.
Faith for Today's quartet sang a song of gratitude
to God. The fifty-member telecast-working family then
expressed thanks to God in prayer as they were led
by Pastor Leonard Lee, director of the Bible school.
Thinking of those whom God impressed to give, these
workers, one and all, again expressed: "Thank you,
North America!"

"China Doctor"
To a generation of Adventists
raised in the comfort of the affluent
American culture, the sacrifice and
selfless devotion of Dr. Harry W.
Miller, pioneer Adventist missionary
to China, are almost unbelievable.
China Doctor, the story of Dr.
Miller's life, written by Dr. Raymond Moore and just published by
Harper and Brothers, provides an
opportunity for younger members of
the church to read the inspiring story
of what God can do with a life dedicated to His service. There are few,
young or old, who will not benefit
by measuring their own life goals
against the stature of this humble
man who has been used to bless millions around the world.
Clarence Hall, senior editor of
Reader's Digest, has written of the
veteran missionary, who at 81 is still
at work in Hong Kong: "The whole
thrilling history of missionary enterprise during the past 100 years has
produced few more towering figures
than Dr. Harry W. Miller.
"He is not only in the inspiring
tradition of such all-time 'greats' as
Livingstone, Judson and Patton, . . .
he is also a restless creator of new
traditions, a modern - day pioneer
whose imaginative use of medicine
has touched millions with the magic
of new hope and health."
China Doctor is the moving story
of the man who built more than a
score of hospitals, cured opium addicts, invented soybean milk, pioneered in thyroid surgery, risked his
life again and again, and received
China's highest award. It is a book
that will thrill every loyal Adventist. Loaned or given to non-Adventists, it will do much to create understanding and friendship for the
church. Available at Book and Bible
Houses and regular book stores.

Scripture Distribution
Sets New Record
A record distribution of 23,210,485
Bibles, Testaments and other portions
of Scripture during 1960 was reported
at the annual meeting of the American Bible Society in New York City
on May 11th.
This was 32% greater than in any
other year of the society's 145-year
history. It exceeded by over 5,000,000
8
volumes the previous all-time high
set in 1959.
New publications during the year
brought to 1,165 the total number of
languages in which at least one complete book of the Bible is known to
have been published — an increase
of 14 over the number reported at
the end of 1959.
Complete Bibles were published for
the first time in Lamba and Congo
Swahili, both for the Congo. First
New Testaments were published in
Chol (Mexico), Curipako (Colombia),
Kabba-Laka (Chad Republic, Africa),
Khumi (Burma), Bambatana (Solomon Islands), Kiwai (Papua) and
Gedaged (Papua). Individual books
of the Bible were reported published
for the first time in several additional
languages.
The Congo, Cuba and Korea — all
lands of mounting political tensions—
were the three overseas areas where
the distribution of Scriptures increased by the greatest percentages.
In the case of Cuba, when the first
revision of U.S. export regulations
failed to prohibit shipment of Scriptures, the society took immediate
steps to stockpile Scriptures there.
The later break in diplomatic relations prevented further shipments
through the usual channels. By midspring of 1961, Cuban demand for
copies of the Scriptures already had
reduced the inventory to less than
a four-week supply.
The society was responsible for the
distribution of 215,076 Scripture volumes in the Congo during 1960, an
increase of 82% over the previous
year. Because the work in the Congo
is shared with the British and Foreign
Bible Society, total distribution in
that area is actually about twice the
American Bible Society figure.
In Korea, a long-sought goal was
attained in 1960 — the distribution
of over a million copies of the Scriptures in a single year.
Distribution in the United States
also showed a substantial gain, due
in large part to the society's increased services to migrant farm
workers and to various institutions,
including hospitals, prisons a n d
homes for the aged. More than a
million volumes were donated to members of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Nearly 60,000 portions were distributed to the blind in the form of
Braille, other embossed systems and
Talking Book records.
The American Bible Society was
founded in 1816 to serve as a mis-
sionary agency of the churches in
bringing about the widest possible
distribution of the Holy Scriptures
throughout the world, without note
or comment. More than 55 denominations are represented on the society's
Advisory Board. Its program is 4fold : it translates, publishes and distributes the Scriptures and encour- ,^
ages their constant use. To carry
out its work, the society depends on
gifts from denominations, individual
churches, church groups and individuals.
Information about the society and
a catalog of its inexpensive Scriptures, literature and audio visual
aids are available on request to the
American Bible Society, 450 Park
Avenue, New York 22, New York.

Ministers Wanted
It is important that ministers living near military bases have in their
possession the latest information
necessary to help our servicemen
facing military problems. It often
happens that our youth in military
service who have lost their way will
attend church and firm up in their
religion and in this way open the
door to grave problems. Parents often
write us telling of their sons at military bases in need of immediate help.
For this reason we need the names
of our ministers living near these
bases.

please send us your name and ad-.

Neighbors"
TENT AND EQUIPMENT ORDER
Some time back, "YOUR NEIGHBORS" was organized to place the
book, Highways to Heaven in tourist
courts. This work is carried on by
individuals who like to make an investment in a definite project, some' thing similar to the work of the
Gideons in placing Bibles in hotel
rooms. However, in our work, we
use Highways to Heaven or Desire
of Ages.
The following letter expresses how
much these books are appreciated
by the busy traveler. The Bible tells
us to sow by all waters; we know
not which will prosper, this or that,
or both alike for good:
4
"Dear Neighbor:
"It would be difficult for me to
express in a letter my appreciation
and gratitude for your book, Highways to Heaven. Certainly it reveals, without loss of beauty and
accuracy, of the truths our Saviour
reveals to us in the Bible.
"For those who find the study of
the Bible difficult and confusing,
Highways to Heaven interprets with
clarity and simplicity the revelations
of our Lord.
"To those souls that are worried
and perplexed, who feel they have
no chance of redemption, no hope of
forgiveness, Highways to Heaven
will give comfort and peace.
"I am enclosing a contribution
and most certainly would appreciate
another book. If I am to encourage

Why I Believe In the
Writings of Ellen G. White
There could be no last-day, worldwide message without the gift of
prophecy. The unerring fulfillment
of the prophecies
gives me complete
confidence in the
message and the
messenger. T h e
majestic principles
and mode of right
living that a r e
taught inspire and
lift me spiritually.
As a pastor, I especially appreciate
R. H. Wood
observing the
many changes for the better in the
lives of individuals who consistently
read and practice the teachings of
the Spirit of prophecy.
The Spirit of prophecy is an easily
followed blueprint to carry us
through these uncertain days.

Happy Memories
Memory Lane came to life as five
women reviewed some of the past
from a picture album. The five ladies
all attended one of the earliest Seventh-day Adventist camp meetings
ever held in Texas in 1891 in Garland, when they were "Babes in
Arms." This year they decided to
have a reunion at camp meeting.

Vice-president of the U.S.A., Lyndon Johnson, posed for a picture with Hays County
Memorial Hospital administrator, Marvin Midkiff, and group of nurses.
Vice-president of the United States,
Lyndon Johnson, visited our Hays
County Memorial Hospital in San
Marcos, Texas, on Sunday, May 28.
He had delivered the commencement
address at his Alma Mater, Southwest Texas State College in San
Marcos, earlier in the day.
After a short tour of the hospital,
the vice-president commented on how
proud the residents of Hays County
should be to have such an efficientlyoperated and beautiful medical institution to serve them. During his
tour of the building, he stopped to
visit his old friend, Dr. John Flowers, president of Southwest Texas
State College, who was a patient in
the hospital, recovering from a recent heart attack. While visiting Dr.
Flowers, the vice-president displayed
a copy of the electrocardiogram
made at the time of his heart attack
and his membership card in the
"Coronary Club." He jovially conversed with Dr. Flowers, Dr. Joe
Wilson, Dean of SWT SC, Dr. Charles
W. Scheib of the hospital staff, and
Marvin Midkiff, administrator of the
Hays County Memorial Hospital, regarding the fact that the entire group
present had suffered heart attacks
within the past few months. When
asked by one of his fellow-sufferers
if he were getting the rest that physicians prescribe after coronary attacks, he smilingly replied, "How
can I?"
Before leaving the hospital, the
vice-president stopped to visit with
a group of the nurses and a representative of the Ladies Auxiliary,
and he posed for pictures with them.
His parting remarks to Marvin
Midkiff, the hospital administrator,
were that he was most happy to have
had the opportunity to visit the new
Hays County Memorial Hospital and
to see what great progress had been
made there the past few years. On
leaving the hospital, he returned
directly to the airport, where he
boarded his plane and returned to
Washington.
Dallas Civil Defense Meeting
"We fed 600 people in less than
five minutes," stated Rudy Bata, Civil
Defense Director for the Texas Conference. "Church preparedness in
time of disaster" was the theme of
the Civil Defense meeting held in
the Dallas church on May 21. City,
county and state officials were most
cooperative. James H. Garner, state
Co-ordinator of Civil Defense and
Disaster Relief for Texas from Austin, wrote a letter to Elder Bata after
returning to Austin, commending the
excellent work we were doing along
such lines and commented in the
many news reporters present. Three
television stations carried it on the
ten o'clock news that evening.

After the mass-feeding demonstration, everyone was invited to the
Dallas church, where pertinent subjects were taken up relative to the
church in its role of Civil Defense.
A. R. Mazat, Civil Defense Director
for the Southwestern Union, addressed the group on "Spiritual Preparedness in Time of Disaster;"
G. M. Boone, Red Cross director,
spoke on "Working With the Red
Cross." M. H. Jensen led out in a

The Age When Attitudes Are
Formed
(Continued from last week)
may be English, or German, or Chinese, but whatever they may be, that
is his native tongue. He may learn
a different language when he is
older, but that is a "foreign"
language to him. He usually will
speak it with an "accent."
Every sensation that a child has
brings him pleasure, or it brings him
pain. When a sensation brings him
pleasure he likes it, he enjoys it, he
desires to have that experience again.
We say his attitude is favorable.
But when a sensation brings him
pain he dislikes it; he withdraws
from it. He desires to avoid that
experience again. We say his attitude is unfavorable.
The wise parent will help his child
form a favorable attitude toward
doing right by making the right way
pleasant, and at that same time help
his child form an unfavorable attitude toward doing wrong by making
it unpleasant. These first experiences, these first impressions mold
the attitude.
(To be continued)
Babyhood
When an infant is born he has no
attitudes. He is neither good nor bad.
His knowledge is at the zero point.
He doesn't know that Columbus discovered America. He doesn't know
that 2 plus 2 is four. He doesn't
know a thing — but he does have
the capacity to learn. The size of
his capacity is determined by the degree of interest he can have. No interest — no learning; some interest
— some learning; much interest —
much learning. The amount of learning one does is determined by the
amount of interest one has. As long
as there is interest in a subject one
can continue to learn.
We as adults are interested in
those things about which we know
something. We are not interested in
things in which we know absolutely
nothing. But an infant knows nothing. How then can he be interested
in anything? This is the time of life
when attitudes are formed in the
young mind. These attitudes are
FIRST experiences. The first flavors
the child tastes, the first sensations
he feels, the first sounds he hears,
the first sights he sees, the first
scents he smells make a lifelong impression upon him. He accepts these
as being normal. Any deviation from
these "standards" is regarded as abnormal. They are looked upon as
being to the right or to the left of
"center." The first words he hears
fi was born
PERKINS, Henry Harrison,
September 7, 1883, at Mountain, Missouri, and died May 22, 1961, at Decatur,
Arkansas. Mr. Perkins moved to Decatur when he was a small boy. On.
March 4, 1906, he was united in marriage to Miss Lena Collins at Decatur.

Sours of P
Tom Perkins of St. Ignatius, Montana;

Mr. Perkins died in the hope of the

of comfort were spoken by the writer;
and Brother Perkins was laid to rest at
Decatur, Arkansas, May 25, 1961.

DAVIS, Nora Jane, was born in Cassville,
Missouri, on March 4, 1876, and passed
to her rest on May 2, 1961, in the Tahlequah City Hospital, after a lingering illness. Sister Davis united with the remnant church in 1905 and was faithful to
this church until the end.
Services were held in the Reed-Culver
Chapel in Tahlequah by Elder C. W. Pine,
the district pastor.
McINTIRE, Ruby Maria, 5308 Mountain
Road, N. E., Albuquerque, New Mexico,
passed away May 13, 1961, at the age
of 79.
For many years she was a faithful
member of the Albuquerque Seventh-day
Adventist Church.
Her daughter, Mrs. June E. Arnold,
and her granddaughter of La Sierra College in California, also are members of
the same church.

Words of comfort were spoken by Elder
J. L. Tucker, assisted by Elder M. N.
Skadsheim.
CORNETT, Imogene, born Sept. 17, 1880;
died Dec. 19, 1960. She heard the truth
and was baptized in 1907 at Mt. Pleasant, Texas. Although in poor health, she
showed great patience and was faithful
in attendance of the services of the
church. She was a real inspiration to
all. Surviving are six children: Mrs.
G. I. Fulton, Dallas; Mrs. W. R. Henderson, Dallas; Cliff D. Cornett, Dallas;
William T. Cornett, Denver. Also nine
grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren survive. Sister Cornett sleeps in
Jesus in the Grove Hill Cemetery in
Dallas, awaiting the call of the great

Life-giver.
WILSON, Mrs. Mary, was born in Missouri, October 5 1875, and passed to her
rest May 11, 1961, in the Ardmore Sanitarium. She was married to Edward S.
Wilson in 1905. She accepted this Advent truth over 50 years ago in Fort
Worth as a result of visits from a Bible
worker.
Forty-six years ago she and her husband came to Ardmore, Oklahoma, where
they became charter members of the
church. She was a keen Bible student
and served as a Sabbath school teacher
as long as her health would permit.
She is survived by three children,
Edith Wilson of Ardmore; Woodrow Wilson of Ukiah, California; and Charles
Wilson of Seattle, Washington; and two
grandchildren. She was laid to rest in
the Province Cemetery, where she sleeps
until the call of the Life-giver.
