George Leighton Sterling and his wife, Maybelle, were pioneer missionaries who established the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Cook Islands and the Marquesas Archipelago of the Pacific Ocean. They served there for 30 years, and also for 12 years in New Zealand and Australia, making a total of 42 years, followed by 18 years continued dedication in retirement.
Early Life
Born on December 27, 1885, in Otsego, Michigan, as the eldest of three sons, George Sterling grew up in an Adventist home and community. His grandfather, James G. Sterling, was a minister of the Church of Christ. He and his family met with Ellen and James White during their years in Rochester, New York, and in 1853 accepted “present truth.” From his grandfather and from his parents, Harvey and Emma Sterling, George grew up hearing stories of early Seventh-day Adventist history.

As the May ballot approaches, the Planning Board is in its final days of explaining its zoning overhaul to the public, and the board is receiving mixed reactions.
The board has several amendments on the ballot this year, the most comprehensive of which is its “zoning simplification” amendment. While its aim is to streamline the code, the amendment itself is the longest and most complex of the ones proposed by the board this year, and will have the most impact on what types of building can go on in town.
The “simplification” piece of the ordinance is that it makes the zoning more uniform, taking the existing districts and overlays and making them into more packaged districts. While some regulations are changing, many of them will stay the same for those areas, such as what uses are allowed there.
The royal word goes forth, and armies do
The work of devils. Agony and waste
Are on the world, and the grim legions haste
On the old war-roads that the Caesars knew.
Still gleams the dreadful stain of Waterloo,
On Time’s accusing record unerased;
Gone are the ramparts that the Romans faced,
But these the heavens where their eagles flew.
Below the bleak and slowly shifting stars,
Man turns him in his madness, to reveal
His ancient folly and his ancient crime,
And on the tragic breast austere with scars
Re-girds the mail, and draws the hiked steel,
Cold from the twilight battlefields of Time.
