On This Day: September 25, 1890
Dedication services were held for the Pitcairn, the missionary ship paid for by Sabbath school offerings. Less than a month later it sailed from Oakland straight to Pitcairn Island. Over the next ten years it made six voyages, carrying missionaries who opened work on many South Pacific islands.

The Center for Adventist Research has the Molleurus Couperus Collection (184).
Molleurus Couperus (1906–1998) was a physician, scholar, missionary, and influential voice in Adventist intellectual life. A graduate of Emmanuel Missionary College and the College of Medical Evangelists, he served as a missionary in Indonesia, trained in dermatology at Columbia University, and later joined the faculty at Loma Linda.
In 1969, Couperus co-founded Spectrum and served as its first editor. His papers preserve decades of correspondence and materials related to major theological and scientific discussions within Seventh-day Adventism.

📚 New book: Adventists and War, edited by D. J. B. Trim and Jiřà Moskala (Andrews University Press).
From the American Civil War to the world wars, and on to current debates over voluntary enlistment and possible renewed conscription, this volume traces the Adventist record on military service, conscience, and Sabbath observance — including the places where that record was compromised. Historians, biblical scholars, theologians, and ethicists take up killing, government authority, holy war, just war, and noncombatant service. The contributors do not all agree, but together they recover a heritage that has too often been forgotten: a serious commitment to conscience, peace, and noncombatant service.
