While there he founded the China Training Institute, a junior college located in the town of Qiaotou in northern Jiangsu province, about 160 miles from Shanghai and 30 miles from Nanjing, in 1925. He taught at Washington Missionary College (today Washington Adventist University), La Sierra College (today La Sierra University), and was president of Southern Missionary College (today Southern Adventist University) and the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary.〔 〕 He served briefly as chair of the Ellen G. White Estate board of trustees in 1952, and gave two presentations about Ellen G. White at the 1952 Bible Conference. He authored ''Believe His Prophets'', an apologetic for the prophetic gift of Ellen White. ==Legacy== After his death, the Rebok estate provided a gift to the Seventh-day Adventist Church; 70% of which helped establish a library at the church's world headquarters and 30% to Adventist World Radio - Asia, for an endowment fund.〔 〕 The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists' Rebok Memorial Library holds approximately 9,700 books, primarily from the 20th century although there are some earlier books. The Library has most Seventh-day Adventist publications in English from the United States and abroad as well as some Spanish-language publications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denton E.
