f U! Y o HI Ttllll 0F Pl E FURGE it ventnre in Christian Education .... . Sponsored by tlie llllenlreny tonierenre ot S. ll. ll. For more than forty years the colored people of the North had dreamed and prayed for a much-needed boarding academy in this section of the country. The disquieting sight of thousands of Seventh day Adventist youth streaming out of the church and into worldly pursuits forced at least four serious attempts to start such a school.Three of these failed. Pine Forge Institute is the only child that survived by a miracle and stands today as a splendid monument of God's own making. ln October, 1945, the infant Allegheny Con- ference, under the vigorous and dynamic lead- ership of Elder J. H. Wagner, launched the Northern School Project with not one single dollar in hand. Today, not fully ten years later, stands a school plant valued at one-half million dollars, a faculty of ten instructors and a stu- dent body well over one hundred Truly, the small, but strong desire for a school for our youth that ricochetted like a spark from the anvil of difficulty when struck by the hammer of faith has grown under the blessings of God into the bright, steady flame of Christian Education. Hundreds and hundreds of youth have been led by this guidinglight from the paths of sin. Their young hearts have been cleansed bv its purifying rays, and they have departed sharing the precious light of truth with countless others The servant of the Lord enjoined the estab- lishment of such a school taway from the evil influences of the citypl, out in the quiet ex- panses of the countryside. Here nature and nature-'s God is evident both night and day. Here Godly instructors may open God's great text book, the Bible, and unfold its precious lessons of life to the young in heart. Here midst a program of quiet, reverent meditation, thought-provoking study and physical labor,the youth may find that harmonious development of the physical, mental and spiritual powers.
