ADVENTIST1 EDUCATION . . . 
When "Knowing" Means Eternal Life 
Knowledge is not always spoken 
of in the Bible as a positive quality for 
Christians. An example of this is the 
statement of the well educated 
evangelist, Paul, when he said, 
"Knowledge puffeth up, but charity 
edifieth." I Cor. 8:1. Another 
translation says, "Knowledge puffs a 
man up with pride; but love builds 
up." (TEV) Comparing further the 
value of knowledge with love Paul 
states in His well-known Love 
Chapter, "Though I have . . . all 
knowledge .. . and have not charity, I 
am nothing." I Cor. 13:2. This does 
not place a great value on 
knowledge, but obtaining it is the 
reason most students seek an 
ecuaation. 
To further depreciate knowledge 
one has only to notice that the one 
tree in the Garden of Eden which was 
forbidden to touch or to eat the fruit 
was the tree of the knowledge of 
good and evil. 
There is, however, a knowledge 
which is not only good but indis-
pensable to salvation and is the 
purpose of Adventist Education. This 
is the knowledge of God. In the 
longest recorded prayer of our Lord 
He prayed, "This is life eternal, that 
they might know Thee, the only true 
God, and Jesus Christ who Thou has 
sent." John 17:3. Knowing God fits 
well with education when one 
realizes that the knowledge to be 
sought is that of the Father and 
Christ "In whom are hid all the 
treasures of wisdom and knowl-
edge." Colossians 2:3. 
These two verses give the purpose 
of Adventist Education--that of 
knowing the Father God and God the 
Son, for all wisdom and knowledge is 
wrapped up in them. In other words 
one may say that the chief thrust of 
Adventist Education is to teach the 
youth and children to know God as a 
personal Friend and Saviour. This 
our schools attempt to do in several 
ways. 
The Bible is given to us for the 
purpose of knowing God. From 
Genesis to Revelation it is a study of 
salvation and how God deals with 
sinful man in His endeavor to save 
them. This is why the Bible is not 
only the chief study in Adventist 
schools, but is the foundation of all 
classes taught in these schools. A 
teacher who understands the true 
philosophy of Adventist Education 
will use the Bible in his teaching no 
matter what subject is being studied. 
It is not enough for one to know 
about another person with whom he 
wishes to become acquainted, he 
must converse with that person and 
they must talk together of things 
which interest them both. In getting 
acquainted with God prayer is a 
necessity. In Adventist Education 
prayer is considered a science and an 
important study in the school 
curriculum. Teaching students to 
pray sounds strange to those who 
teach in government schools. They 
will not see how prayer and educa- 
tion go together for their aim is not to 
teach students to become 
acquainted with God. 
The dedicated Adventist teacher 
will teacher his students how to pray, 
how to worship, and how to 
commune with God for this is 
teaching them about God. �
It is 
interesting that in the remarkable 
book entitled, EDUCATION by Ellen 
G. White, a complete chapter is given 
to the "science" of faith and prayer. 
The reason is that faith and prayer is 
necessary in getting acquainted with 
God as a personal Saviour. 
When a person has a personal 
friend whom he loves very much, he 
will tell others about him. Likewise 
when a student learns to know Christ 
and the heavenly Father they will 
want to tell others about this friend. 
In Adventist schools an important 
part of the school program is training 
the students how to tell others about 
Jesus Christ and the plan of the 
Father to save souls. This outreach 
program when rightly conducted is 
the most inspiring part of the 
curriculum for both students and 
faculty, but satan tries to hinder such 
activity in every way possible. 
To know God is the great purpose 
of Adventist Education. What a 
contrast is this education from that 
found in schools of the world! —

March-April 
Exciting things are happening in 
Bangkok. Not just at BANGKOK 
ADVENTIST HOSPITAL but in 
Bangkok! Colorful little pages have 
keen swirling like the leaves of 
autumn in a high wind, radios blare 
the message, banners proclaim and a 
huge multicolored balloon floats 
lazily aloft, bearing the words in Thai: 
RADIANT LIVING . . . . FREE 
HEALTH EVALUATION. 
Seventy thousand invitations were 
either mailed or hand delivered in 
recent weeks, announcing the ten-
week TIME OF THE END seminar 
and the six-week RADIANT LIVING 
seminar to follow a few weeks later. 
All Thai speaking patients seen at 
BAH during the past two years 
received invitations as well as many 
others. 
During the ten-week period, nine 
seminars were held each week in 
various locations by pastors and 
physicians. High attendance at any 
one seminar was 150, and 70 people 
completed the ten-week course. 
On February 5, the RADIANT 
LIVING seminar began, to be held on 
three weekend evenings for six 
weeks. An overflow crowd jammed 
into,-the church and extra chairs were 
squeezed in. All church members 
joyfully — yea, excitedly gave up their 
seats for others. 
Not another soul could cram into 
the church, the yard was full and still 
people came. A second session was 
hastily scheduled for the chapel. As 
soon as the health lecturer had 
completed his talk in the church, it 
was repeated in the full chapel. An 
enthusiastic question-answer period 
filled in time until the church was 
ready for a second session. The 
church was then filled from the front 
as it emptied from the back for the 
spiritual study and the multimedia 
producion. 
BAH Health Education and 
Chaplains departments assisted by 
many other people are to be 
commended for the excellent prepa-
ration for, and execution of the 
seminars. Thai pastors from outlying 
areas are assisting in the Radiant 
Living seminar and this experience is 
proving to be a blessing not only for 
those who attend the meetings but 
also for each one who has helped. 
What would you think if only half 
as many attended the second night 
as the first? What would you think if 
at the culmination of the meetings, 
only one lone soul were to dedicate 
his life to God? 
About 100 are attending regularly 
(in addition to church members). 
Have not seeds been sown? Seventy 
thousand known. How many 
unknown. We had better never 
underestimate the power of the Spirit 
of God. 
by Lucille D. Thrasher 
Public Relations Secretary 
Medical Missionary 
Work In Cities 
Physicians whose professional 
abilities are above those of the 
ordinary doctor, should engage in the 
service of God in the large cities. 
They should seek to reach the higher 
classes . . . . Medical missionaries 
who labor in evangelistic lines are 
doing a work of as high an order as 
are their ministerial fellow-laborers. 
The efforts put forth by these 
workers are not to be limited to the 
poorer classes. The higher classes 
have been strangely neglected. In 
the higher walks of life will be found 
many who will respond to the truth, 
because it is consistent, because it 
bears the stamp of the high character 
of the gospel. Not a few of the men 
of ability thus won to the cause will 
enter energetically into the Lord's 
work. 
The Lord calls upon those who are 
in positions of trust, those to whom 
He has entrusted His precious gifts, 
to use their talents of intellect and 
means in His service. Our workers 
should present before these men a 
plain statement of our plan of labor, 
telling them what we need in order to 
help the poor and needy and to 
establish this work on a firm basis. 
Some of these will be impressed by 
the Holy Spirit to invest the Lord's 
means in a way that will advance His 
cause. They will fulfil His purpose by 
helping to create centers of influence 
in the large cities. Interested workers 
will be led to offer themselves for 
various lines of missionary effort.

Prompted by the presence of the elderly church 
members, the Singapore Chinese church 
members launched a Pro-tern committee in 1980 
to provide a permanent home for senior citizens. 
This was in response to the Singapore govern-
ment's call and encouragement from the West 
Malaysia-Singapore Mission to provide care and 
facility for the welfare of the aged. Late last year, 
Singapore Adventist Home for the Elders was 
officially opened by Mr. Norman Lim, chairman of 
Kim Keat Zone E Resident Committee. Your 
support and prayers will in one way or another 
bless the Home, not only in finance, but also in

SAUC Church is very fortunate to have Brother

encouraged (and discouraged) by his reports. It 
takes a man like Eldin, with a vision of improving 
the performances of our Sabbath School 
members, to painstakingly gather these statistics 
each week. What is your church doing?

set for greater evangelistic outreach in 1982. So 
great is their enthusiasm to see the work go

until the end of this year, to pay the salary of one 
newly appointed pastor to evangelize in an

sacrificing for the Lord's work?

SAUC Starts Renovation Program 
Southeast Asia Union College will, hopefully, be 
embarking on a renovation program that will revitalize 
the campus, up-date some of the facilities, and 
modernize some of the equipment, according to Lee 
Peng Cheong, Business Manager. 
Some of the administrative offices have been 
separate from other offices on the campus, and the first 
step in the renovation of the campus was to bring all of 
these offices together in one area under one roof. 
The offices of the president, the academic dean, the 
business manager, the registrar, and the treasurer have 
all been brought together in one suite of offices, closer 
to the classrooms and auditorium, facilitating better 
communications and working conditions for both 
students and staff members. 
Pictures on this page give details about the new 
arrangements and the college officers who occupy the 
new facilities. 
Business Manager Lee said that this new office 
arrangement is the first of several steps to improve the 
campus for faculty members and students. 
Lee also said that other renovations will be 
undertaken as the Board approves of the plans and as 
finances become available. 
Some of the proposed projects are as follows: 
Refurnishing of the men's and women's dormitories; 
The purchase of a computer for which the students 
have already raised over S$19,000. 
Renovation of a small chapel into a lecture hall-audio-
visual room. This room has needed improvement for 
several years; 
Additional holdings for the Library; 
And new typewriters for the typing classes. 
An offering will be taken in all of the churches of the 
Southeast Union Mission on August 14. The College 
hopes and prays that each member will support the 
college's improvement program in order to help the 
students of Southeast Asia.
