Vol. 7 Sixty Attend Inter- Quarter Workshop A workshop in the administra- tion of self-supporting institutions, the first ever to be held at Madi- son College, was conducted March 21-24 under the direction o i Homer L. Lynd, registrar. Sixty persons registered for the workshop, twenty of whom · took it for college credit. Among the speakers were con- ference workers, who expressed their confidence in the work the units are doing. Elder Don Rees, Southern Union president, brought out in his Sabbath morning ser- mon the part the self-supporting work has played and will con- tinue to play in evangelizing the dark counties in this union. Other workers who spoke with apprecia- tion of the Madison program were Elder E. L. Marley, Kentucky-Ten- nessee Conference president; Elder N. C. Wilson, Georgia-Cumberland president; Elder Hegstad, of the Southern Publishing Association; and Elder Mills, of the college church. Two highlights of the work- shop were symposiums conducted by W. H. Wilson, of Fletcher, and Edwln Martin, of Lawrenceburg. The first was by students who tes- tified that God had definitely led them to Fletcher, Wildwood, Pine Forest, and other schools to obtain a vision for service which they could not have obtained elsewhere. Participants in the second sym- posium were workers from the unitS. Of special interest was the experience of Neil Mullins, whom God called from Emmanuel Mis- sionary College to Hylandale, Wis- consin, where he is now principal. (C..ontinued on page 3) -- Presid~nt Suffers Unfortunate Accident Dr. William C. Sandborn was the victim of a painful accident on Friday, March 13, which has cost him the fourth finger of his right hand. While building a stone Wall in connection with the cam- Pus landscaping project, he caught his hand in the cement mixer, lacerating and crushing several fingers badly. In spite of efforts to save all the fingers, one had to be amputated. The president carried on his work from his hospital bed from the very first, and, though some- What uncomfortable, resumed his duties in a very short time. adisonia Madison College, Madison, Tennessee, April 6, 1959 No. 6 Sanctuary Is Theme of Week of Prayer Commissioning Service Honors Teachers and Futztre Teachers Fifty-eight pins and insignia were presented to teachers and future teachers in an impressive commissioning service held Sab- bath morning, March 14. Elder H. S. Hanson, secretary of educa- tion for the Southern Union, as- sisted by Mrs. Simmons, made the presentations. The commissioning service cli- maxed the Sabbath morning ser- mon by Elder W. A. Scriven, edu- cational superintendent of the Florida Conference, who brought a challenging message to future teachers. Thirty-four college students, fu- ture teachers in the elementary and secondary fields, received sil- ver pins. Bronze pins were pre- sented to two academy students planning to be teachers. Sixteen elementary school pupils, repre- senting "Teachers of Day after Tomorrow," received buttons with the inscription, "I'll Be a Teacher." Six teachers who have taught two years or more and have never received recognition, received ser- vice pins. An unusual presentation was made to Elder W. E. Straw-a gold pin for fifty-two years of teaching. A special guest at the service was Mrs. Charlene Collier, field consultant for the Tennessee Edu- cation Association, a loyal friend of the Elementary Education De- partment at Madison College. The Teachers of Tomorrow presented Mrs. Collier with a copy of the book Education. The grand climax to the Sab- bath morning commissioning ser- vice was the unveiling of a por- trait of Dr. Sandborn by Victor Rivera, who painted it. In the absence of Dr. Sandborn, who was in the hospital because of his acc:d~nt, the presentation w a s made to Mrs. Sandborn by Mrs. Simmons. The lifelike portrait of the president of Madison College was this year's project of the Teachers of Tomorrow group. The painting will be hung in the Druil- lard Library. W. E.

Student and teachers feel that these parties are especially good for the faculty-student relationship they promote. The faculty members w h 0 opened their homes for these parties were the Bullocks, Byerses, Dickmans, Gulleys, Hegstads, Ku- naus, Lorenzes, Lynds, Ralph Mar- tins, Silvers, Stearnses, Strongs, and Zeiglers. "Solving the World's Problems from the Center of the Universe" was the theme of the spring Week of Prayer meetings as presented by Elder W. D. Frazee, of the Wildwood, Georgia, institution. The Spirit of God worked quiet- ly but effectively upon hearts dur- ing the week as the work that Jesus is doing in the heavenly sanctuary was presented. The beautiful display represent- ing the tabernacle in the wilder- ness which Elder Frazee had set up on the platform made vivid the spiritual significance of each part of the earthly sanctuary ser- vices, which were a shadow of heavenly things. As a basis for his studies, Elder Frazee used Psalms 77: 13: "Thy way, 0 God, is in the sanctuary." "All the world's problems-the problem of sin-Jesus solves by the sacrifice of his own life," Elder Frazee pointed out. "Then as man sees what sin does to God's heart, he comes to hate sin and love righteousness." In the one o'clock daily chapel services, the speaker presented the way of salvation as revealed in the furniture of the sanctuary. Each article, each service has a significance essential to man's sal- vation. At the evening services and the after-meetings the way to forgive- ness and a happy Christian life was made plain. Especially im- pressive were the illustrations of what it means to lay all on the altar of sacrifice and of the dif- ference between having one's sins covered and having them blotted out. The seven glasses-six con- taining water and the other grape- juice-illustrated clearly that only the day w h i c h God specially blessed and sanctified can be the Sabbath. Associated with Elder Frazee during the week were Mrs. Fra- zee, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Boykin, al- so from Wildwood, and Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Boyd, from Pine For- est. Mr. Boykin's singing and the counseling done by others in the group contributed much to the effectiveness of the week. DDjl/£disonia Edit~~~~o A~~c;:;_~~~es-Mrs. Bob W. Silver, Beverly Hegstad.

PRINTED AT THE RURAL PRESS April 6, 1959 • page 2 EDITORIAL Are You Ready? The United States is facing another serious crlSls. What the Berlin situation will bring to us none can foretell. There are cries in Washington that when May 27 (the deadline for evacuation of foreign troops from West Berlin) rolls around, the United States may have a real war on her hands and one for which her people are almost totally unprepared. Many leading students of current history feel th~t. this crisis could well be THE CRISIS that will touch off World War III. How about us here at Madison Collegez Are we prepared for such a national emergency? Have our emergency plans been tried out in practice and has everyone been informed of the part he or she will be expected to play if such a situation does arise? Here are five suggestions for you· to use as a check list to see if you are ready for such a day of disaster: 1. .Learn the official civil defense action signals. 2. Prepare your home: a. Get a civil defense disaster first aid kit. b. Learn how to use it. c. Practice fire-safe housekeeping. d. Learn to fight small fires. e. Maintain a 3-day emergency supply of food and water at all times. f.. Equip the most protected place you can find in or near your home for an air-raid shelter. g.· Know how to practice emergency sanitation measures if necessary. 3. Be prepared to move promptly and calmly from your home or business if local authorities in- struct you to evacuate your city or home. 4. Memorize the "Conelrad" frequencies of 640 and 1240 on your standard AM radio. Mark your radios with these CD settings. That is where you will get official information and instructions in an emergency. 5. Should an emergency arise, consider the safety and well-being of others. Act calmly. Set a good example to your family and neighbors. Not only as good American citizens are we re- quired to be ready, but as Christians we are morally bound to be prepared and able to help others. Let's not forget that "What you do before the explosion can save your life. What you do after the explosion can also save lives, including your own." P.S. Elementary Education News Dr. Moore Speaks As the MADISONIAN goes to press, Dr. Raymond Moore, director of teacher education at the Potomac University, is on the campus.

All are manifestations of emotional or mental maladjustment. This cycle is repeated every hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year." So stated Mr. Felix A. Lorenz, Jr., a former consultant to the Tennessee State Division of Mental Health, in a chapel talk on Wednesday, Ma;tch 18. . Although mental illness is classed as Am e r i c a's number on e health problem, the speaker said that only one dollar out of every $33 spent in health research is used for research in mental ill- ness. Out of a total $26.81 spent per day for hospital treatment per patient, only $3.66 is spent for the care of the mentally ill. (Continued on page 4) ~~~~~---------- The Fatherland Street meetings have begun. The well-filled church on opening night was ample re- ward for the weeks of preparation carried on in this neighborhood by our MV's. For three or four weeks many hours have been spent in pers:mal visitation S a b b a t h afternoons. The students have found many with little or no food. One Sabbath afternoon the students voluntarily gave their suppers away to these people. As the group met again, an offering was taken, at Mr. Slate's suggestion, and $26.00 was received for these poor and needy people. During the week, food bas- kets and clothing were taken to the homes. Hearts were touched by the loving ministry of the stu- dents. On each Thursday night a bus- load has gone to the church, which has taken on a new appearance as a result of the cleaning and painting ins:de and the landscap- ing outside, directed by Mr. Sos- song. Inside, under Mrs. Kunau's direction, the children's Sabbath school center and the baby-sit- ting center for the campaign have taken shape. Outside, across the front of the church, a 24-foot streamer painted by Victor Rivera announces the meetings. It reads WELCOME TO MEDICAL-EVANGELISTIC S E R- VICES. During the meetings for th~ adults, the children will be shown Bible study films in the attrac- tively renovated basement, and babies will be cared for by volun- teer baby-sitters. A choir has been formej and other special music groups arc Workshop-from p. I Every phase of the self-supp:>rt- ing work was discussed by special- ists in the field. History and un- derlying principles were brought by Elders Felix A. Lorenz and W. E. Straw. The place of the medi- cal w o r k w a s emphasized by George McClure, from Wildwood, and Paul C. Dysinger, from Madi- son. Bob Zollinger, from Laure.l- brook, Roger Goodge, from Little Creek, Adolph Johnson, from Pine Forest, and Miles Coon, from Madi- son, gave lectures on successful operation, the food program, and industrial enterprises. Dr. Sand- born, from Madison, and Leland Straw, from Little Creek, showed that success is dependent on fol- lowing the pattern given by the Spirit of prophecy. Those who attended the work- shop feel that the program it pre- sented is a means to help spread the gospel. They are anticipating other workshops here on the cam- pus to prepare still more men and women f o r t h e self-supporting work. practicing. The campaign quar- tette, the Evangelins, is composed of Pat Batchelor, Hazel Griffin, Judy Lahde, and Mary Alice· Math- is. Sabbath afternoons have been spent in visitation. and in giving out handbills. 1800 announcements were given out on the afternoon of March 28. These attractive an- nouncements, designed by Victor Rivera and seen through their ·offset printing by John Dovich, are a two-color result of black and red on white paper. Meetings will be held Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for just ten nights. We will be looking for- ward to seeing you every night it is possible for you to come.
