Eckerman Mt. Pleilflflrif Iflscamihgi f- Seventh-day Adventists believe in Christian education as a part of the church program just as much as any other phase ot' the Advent Message. Facts and figures have given prool' over and over again of the value of young people attending schools where the atmosphere and training is based on Bible teaching. We realize that the public schools can not give a religious mold and we would not want it that way, We count it a privilege to live in a country where we are allowed, in addition to supporting the public schools through taxes, to support our own schools for the training ol' young people along the lines of the Advent Message. Our schools provide the leadership for our cause. Future Adventist teachers, ministers, medical workers and administrators are now attending classes in our schools somewhere. We thank the Lord for the teachers who are devotedly giving their lives for the molding of the youth for a place in the work here on earth and a preparation for the home in Heaven. G. li. Hutches The Adelphian faculty and students are anxious to give honor to the faithful members of our Academy Board. Elder G. lil. Hutches, our chairman, has given splendid leadership to the advancement of the work ot' our school. Our deepest appreciation for that leadership cannot be spelled in words. The joy of association and fellowship with such a l'hristian leader of progressive vision cannot be adequately pla-ed within the confines of any written message. We can merely breathe a prayer of thanksgiving to the Father of us all and have faith that He understands the unutterable expressions of our hearts. Those of us at Adelphian appreciate the cooperation of' every Board member and wish to express gratitude for their line help. Mr. Pratt

. . 2 Pincipa s essaqe There is no limit to the usefulness of the one who, putting self aside makes room for the working of the Holy Spirit upon his heart and lives a life wholly consecrated to God. Ministry of Healing, p. l59. May the Seniors of the class of l955 leave the Adelphian campus with a full realization of the meaning of true J-O-Y, Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last. The warfare against self is the greatest battle that was ever fought. Steps to Christ, p. 47. Our present world with its whirlwind of selfish pleasures often causes the youth to depend upon self first, treat others secondly and consider Jesus last in life, if at all. Adelphian Academy is dedicated to the youth of Eastern Michigan where Education is Life, life more abundant, life where Jesus Christ is the center, the way, the truth and the life. John l4:6. Many students attending Adelphian have found in a single moment of grace the work of God upon their hearts in converting power. They suddenly become aware that the Lord is in their life, They are no longer self-centered now but they are God- centered, Launching into real joy, they possess an inner peace where outer events can no longer ruffle their experience or handicap their faith. What they have is not important any longer, the only thing that really matters is what they are, and what they are is God's children--Students of today and leaders R. W.
