Frederick Douglass Junior And Senior High School, Kelli Johnson

Douglass High School stood as a pillar in the community for over 70 years. The school, named after abolitionist Frederick Douglass, was also the social heart of the community. Past graduates remember the school as a close-knot community with supportive teachers who expected the best from their students.

In June 1905, on the fourth Sunday of that month, a petition signed by forty-one members of First Baptist Church was read. The petition asked for letters of dismissal from the Church in order to organize and start and new church. Those forty-one people wanted to create a new church that better met the needs of the community. After a vote, with only one dissent, the news was delivered to the Church clerk on a Thursday in July. This new church would become the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church.

Biographies of the renowned linguistic scholar and archaeological explorer Sir Marc Aurel Stein (1862–1943) inevitably yet briefly refer to the role played by John Lockwood Kipling (1837–1911), as curator of the Lahore Museum—with its extensive collection of ancient Gandharan Greco-Buddhist sculpture—in exciting Stein’s interests in and theories of what likely lay buried under the sands of the Taklamakan Desert. A more insistent focus on the coalescing influences in the Stein-Kipling relationship, including a subsequent line of evident inspiration from Stein to the internationally famed author and Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling (Lockwood’s son; 1865–1936), helps to synthesize some of the highlights …

When pilots and aviation enthusiasts find themselves in Washington, D.C., they often plan a trip to the Mall to visit the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. But those who love the skies might also want to walk directly across the Mall and visit the National Gallery of Art, where we recommend taking a look at one of our favorite paintings: Peter Paul Rubens's The Fall of Phaeton. This piece of Baroque art speaks powerfully to aviators, as it shows what happens if the rules of the sky are disregarded.

At the Heshbon dig there are some things in large supply—sand, heat, camels. Sometimes even excitement. Other things, like money and water, are alarmingly scarce and about equal in value. When either one or the other runs out, the morale graph dips. But the Lord takes care of us, one day at a time.

Eight years ago Andrews University had its first archaeological expedition in Jordan. Dr. Siegfried H. Horn had chosen the ruin mound of biblical Heshbon, known to the Arabs as Tell Hesban, about 15 miles southwest of Amman, the capital of Jordan.

"WHAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you found?" is the most common question that people ask of an archeologist when he returns from an expedition. The inquirer usually recalls pictures of objects from the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, or of the Royal Cemetery at Ur, or perhaps even of the Dead Sea scrolls. But if one were to look for museum objects that have intrinsic value apart from their historical context, one certainly would not choose to dig in Palestine, whose peoples throughout history have been relatively poor when compared with the inhabitants of Egypt or Mesopotamia. Furthermore, the more …

IF YOU SHOULD VISIT THE SITE of Andrews University's archeological excavations at Tell Hesban in Jordan, you would be in distinguished company. Among the many visitors we had during the 1974 season were several members of Jordan's royal family, including King Hussein's cousin, Prince Raad, who actually worked with us on two occasions. Other visitors included Jordan's former prime minister and elder statesman, Suleiman Nabulsi; the current Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Ghalab Barakat; and such members of the diplomatic corps as U.S. Ambassador Thomas Pickering. Among the many archeologists who paid a visit was Harvard Pro- fessor George Ernest …

PEOPLE OFTEN WONDER what an archeological excavation costs and where all the money comes from. An American expedition now excavating at Idalion in Cyprus, for instance, spends more than $60,000 per season. Comparable expeditions often spend much more; rarely do they spend less. Yet the 1974 Andrews University expedition to Tell Hesban in Jordan, with 75 staff members and 150 workmen (more than twice as many as Idalion), cost less than $30,000. This was possible only through an extremely efficient and economical use of funds, and because individual staff members were responsible for their own travel costs to Jordan.

FOR MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED years, Seventh-day Adventist Bible teachers, authors, and evangelists have used the data provided by archeological research in the Near East to illuminate, bolster, and defend the faith. However, only within the past forty years, have a few Seventh-day Adventist scholars been trained in Palestinian field archeology. First among these were Dr. Lynn H. Wood, the Seventh-day Ad ventist Theological Seminary's first professor of archeology and the history of antiquity, who worked with Dr. Nelson Glueck at the Transjordanian sites of Khirbet Tannur (a Nabataean temple) and Tell el-Kheleifeh (Biblical Eziongeber), and Dr. Siegfried H. Horn, …

THE FISHPOOL in Heshbon. During the third season of excavations at Heshbon, we uncovered a most intriguing Iron Age structure in Area B on the shelf just below the acropolis. About 30 feet under- neath the present surface and under a 15-foot-deep fill, containing mainly pottery of the Iron H Age and the Persian period, a layer of plaster one foot thick was discovered almost as hard as concrete.

READERS of the REVIEW have been kept informed of the two previous archeological expeditions of Andrews University to Tell Hesban in Jordan, the site of the Biblical Heshbon, conducted in the summers of 1968 and 1971 (see REVIEW, Jan. 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 1969, and Dec. 30, 1971, Jan. 6, 13, 20, 27, 1972). Thus it will not be necessary to repeat the history of this ancient city from Biblical and other sources, nor relate the methods employed in excavating its ruins.

The first campaign at Tell Hesban was carried out in 1968,' and the second season was planned for the summer of 1970. The outbreak of the first phase of the Jordanian civil war in June of that year, however, forced a cancellation of the expedition, although some staff members, including the director, were already in Amman and most others were en route to Jordan. ' Rescheduled for the next summer, the second campaign was successfully conducted from July 5 to August 20, 1971.
