The two prominent character
istics of the belief of Seventh-
day- Adventists are the obser
vance of the seventh
day Sabbath, Saturday,
from sundown Friday night to
sundown Saturday night, and
the teaching of the second com
ing of Christ in the very near
future. They are profoundly
convinced that God is sending to
the world through them a great
message proclaming the personal
reappearance of Jesus Christ.
It was in the year 1846 that
Seventh-day Adv^entists, as a
denomination had their start.
At that time one man, Captain
Joseph Bates, a retired sea cap
tain, taught in part, the doct
rines which they hold. Starting
in obscurity and poverty the den
omination has had a remarkable
growth, doubling its number
every decade since that time un
til there is at present 114,000
seventh-day Adventists in the
world. Their influence has ex
tended until the sun never sets
upon their organized work.
Within a .periqd of less than
seventy years they have coveied
the face of the earth in their
Hookworm Campaign m Alamance.
The Free Medical Dispensaries
conducted by the State Board of
Health for the examination and
treatment of Hookworm Disease
and other diseases due to intesti
nal parasites have been operated
in Alamance County for a little
more than a week. During that
time 477 people have been exam
ined and of these 142 were found
to be infected and were given
treatment. Of those infected. 87
had hookworms, 24 had round
worms, and 31 had dwarft tape
worms. Much interest has been
shown in this work of public
health and sanitation and a great
number of people have visited
the dispensaries, seen the exhbit,
and received literature on public
health topics.
An especial effort is being
made to have every child of
school age examined. This will
not only result in increased
health to the child but will also
be manifested in the increased
vitality and grade reports of
the school child but will also be
manifested in the increased vit
ality and grade reports of the
school children in the future.
