Takoma Parks Adventists
BY Brian Bell. Jr.

TN 1908 A SMALL religious
i denomination which had
been organized for only 40
years shifted its headquarters
to Takoma Park, Md.
Since then, its members
have increased more than
elevenfold - from 75,767,
mostly in the United States,
to 856,463 in all parts of the
world. The Seventh-day Ad-
ventist Church had go mis-
sionaries then; now there are
1000. Tithes and offerings
have increased from $510,258
to more than $50 million.
This afternoon, there will be
an open house at the General
Conference of the Seventh
day AdventistS, 6840 Eastern
avenue, Takoma Park, to COM
memorate the 5Oth anniver-
Sary of the church'S move.
Visitors will see the progress
that the half-century has
brought.
Now buildings fill the five
acres the Adventists bought
in 1908. The General Con-
ference, a three-story struc-
ture, is occupied by workers
who run the affairs of the
church all over the world.
Next door is the Review &
Herald Publishing Association,
which printed books and peri
odicals that brought in more
than 81 million last year.
Behind the General Con-
ference Building is the theo-
logical seminary, with an
enrolment of 100, including
Evening star., 1953-11-22

many foreign students. Across
the street are the new Ia
koma Park Seventh-day Ad-
ventiSt Church, with a seating
capacity Of 1900; the pur-
chasing agency, which buys
everything from paperclips to
automobiles for use both here
and abroad, and the corre-
Spondence school, Offering
courses in many subjects.
A mile away, the AdventiStS
have an impressive layout
overlooking Sligo Creek. This
includes the Washington San
itarium, which accommodates
240 patients and has nearly
100 student nurses.
The Washington Mission
ary College also is located
here. A co-educational liberal
arts college, it has $50 stu
dents, including 43 from Is
foreign countries.
The first Seventh-day Ad-
ventist missionary bought
passage to Europe in 1874.
Now the church has its own
fleet of 10 missionary ships,
which ply among the islands
of the South Pacific and along
the Amazon River in South
America. It has even built
airstripS in remote sections of
the world so its missionaries
can fly in with their message.

Donohue Suggests
The Federal CITY,
On 81 Auto Toos

Commissioner r. Joseph Don.
ohue even now is thinking in
terms of 1854 automobile license
tags.
He would like to change the
inscription on them.
II have been reading an old
book about the city," Mr.. Dono.
hue confessed to his fellow Com.
missioners today.
II noticed that Gen. Wash.
ington always referred to Wash.
ington as The Federal City"
Perhaps" he went on, "it
might be a good idea next year
to substitute The Federal City
for The Nations Capital with
which the 1883 tags are in
scribed."
His suggested inscription. Mr..
Donohue explained. might be q
good advertisement" and a
reminder throughout the coun-
try that the District of Columbia
is after all the responsibility of
the Federal Government as well
as its residents.
This, in turn, he said. might
lead to an increased Federal
share in local government costs.
