Iowa State Camp-Meeting.

The Iowa State camp-meeting will be held at Ames, Iowa, May 31 to June 10. This is thirty-five miles north of Des Moines, on the Northwestern lines; one line running north and south, and the main line running east and west through the State. It is easy of access, but a few miles from the center of the State, and we have pleasant shaded grounds offered us free, one half mile from the city. The Street Car Co. has offered to build a platform by the grounds for the convenience of passengers.

A grocery, dining tent, and other needed accommodations will be on the grounds. We expect the usual reductions on the different roads, where the person is careful to take a certificate at every place that he purchases a ticket. Elder Stevens will state the railroad arrangements in the Iowa Bulletin more definitely.

We shall expect a large attendance, and much of the blessing of God. There will be a strong corps of workers for each branch of the work: for the children's meetings, youth's meetings, and for the conducting of the general meetings. Clarence Santee, Pres. Iowa Conf.

Iowa Conference.

The thirty-seventh annual session of the Iowa Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Ames, Iowa, May 31 to June 10. The sessions of the Missionary Department of the Iowa Conference will also be held at this time. The different branches are doing more business than ever before, and there will be an added responsibility resting upon the delegates to plan, and fill vacancies that will be made at this meeting. We hope that each church will elect their delegates at once, and send the credentials properly filled out, to Mrs. L. Flora Plummer, 603 E. 12th St., Des Moines, Iowa. This is the Lord's work, and it demands faithfulness. Clarence Santee, Pres.

Publications Wanted.

Let all sending publications for missionary work see that they are properly wrapped. Complaints are made that papers are received almost wholly unfit to distribute on account of not having been properly wrapped. A little careful attention on the part of those sending publications will result in a saving of literature and postage.

ALL OF ONE MIND.

From the “Sabbath-School Worker,” Oakland.

“Those who are thinking of purchasing new books for their Sabbath-schools will find the new book, ‘Christ in Song,’ by F. E. Belden, admirably suited to their needs. It contains more than three times the number of songs found in ordinary Sunday-school song-books, while the price is no higher. All the old favorites and the choicest selections from the new books are to be found in it. We take pleasure in recommending it. Order of Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.”

From the “Signs of the Times,” Oakland, Cal.

“One of the important parts of worship is song. Inspiration has recognized this, not only in the book of Psalms, but in various places in the Holy Word. Five things are requisite to meet popular needs in a good Christian song-book. First of all, the hymns should express truth; there should be sufficient variety; the music should generally be simple; there should be enough of the old, old songs; and the collection should be reasonably cheap. Is there a book which combines all these features? There was not one, but there is one now; and the only one we know of. It is entitled ‘Christ in Song Hymnal.’ . . . This book contains over 700 of the best hymns, new and old. It is arranged in four parts: (1) Invitation and Repentance; (2) Consecration and Praise; (3) Work and Trust; (4) Home and Heaven. It contains 414 pages. For the writer of this note, five words express his idea and appreciation of the book—It is the best yet. And its price is reasonable. Flexible cloth, 35 cents, paper-covered boards, 40 cents; canvas-covered boards, 50 cents; half morocco, $1.00. Address, Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich., or it may be obtained from this office.”

From Dr. E. J. Waggoner, Editor “Present Truth,” London, England.

I have given the new book, “Christ in Song,” a somewhat careful examination; and can say that, taking into consideration what you have omitted from it, as well as what you have included, it is by far the best hymn book ever published by Seventh-day Adventists. As soon as the necessary arrangements can be made with the publishers, we shall introduce it here in this field, and shall recommend it to all our companies for both Sabbath-school and general use.

From Kate L. Macey, Sec. and Treas. Michigan Sabbath-School Association.

“The new songs for the little ones are excellent. It is truly a book that will meet the needs of Sabbath-schools and young people’s societies especially.”

The Songs are Classified in four departments:— Part I. Invitation and Repentance. Part II. Consecration and Praise. Part III. Work and Trust. Part IV. Home and Heaven.

Compiled from the writings of 135 of the best hymnologists and composers.

Notwithstanding “Christ in Song” contains three times as many hymns and songs as are found in the average Sabbath-school song book, it is bound more securely, and sells at the following low prices—one or more copies—postpaid:— In heavy flexible cloth, wire stapled through all, $ .35 In paper-covered boards, beautiful ink design, red edges, heavy canvas back, stapled through all, .40 In canvas-covered boards, aluminum title, red edges, stapled through all, .50 In half morocco, gold title, securely hinged, 1.00 Abridged edition, 96 pages, flexible cloth, .15

Census of Cuba

The census of Cuba, lately taken, shows a population of 1,572,797. Of these only 505,136 are black or mixed; and fifteen thousand are Chinese.

Jesuit Membership Increasing

THE Catholic Mirror says that “the Jesuits are increasing in numbers everywhere. They have doubled their membership in the course of the last thirty years.”

American Liquor Exports to the Colonies

“DURING the fiscal year of 1897 the entire exports of American distilled and malt liquors to Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines, amounted to $31,076; while during the last calendar year, the sum total was $1,446,979.” So said Congressman Jones, of Virginia, in the House of Representatives April 11, 1900.

The United States Trade Balance

That statement as to the enormous increase of the balance of trade in favor of the United States in the last three years past (see last column) was made by a United States senator, Tuesday, April 24, and he affirmed that this is the truth “as shown by the books of the United States Treasury.”

The Religious Question in the Philippines

THE official correspondent of the Outlook in the Philippines say that “the religious question is the kernel in the Philippine nut. To Archbishop Chappelle, who I believe is now in Manila, has been given the work of cracking this nut.” And we believe it is universally understood that he who cracks the nut always gets the kernel.

Good Friday Observance Increasing

The Christian Work says that “there is no question that the observance of Good Friday is rapidly increasing:” that it is now observed “not alone in the Episcopal and Roman Catholic, but in many Presbyterian, ‘Reformed,’ and other non-Episcopal churches.” All growth of such observances marks the decline of spirituality.

American Sentinel Renamed

By Editor

The American Sentinel has been transferred to the International Religious Liberty Association, by the Pacific Press Publishing Company. The name has been changed from The American Sentinel, to The Sentinel of Liberty. Remember that the office of the Religious Liberty Association is in Chicago, not in New York. Therefore bear in mind also that the Sentinel of Liberty will be published from Chicago, and not from New York. Accordingly all communications that would have gone to American Sentinel, New York, must now go to the Sentinel of Liberty, Monon Building, Room 750, Chicago, Ill. The first number of the Sentinel of Liberty will be issued May 10.

NEXT WEEK

the study in the Third Angel’s Message will be, How the union of church and state was formed in the making of the Beast. From this time forward, each of these studies will be especially present truth; for each step taken at that time and in the making of the Beast, has now its likeness in the making of the Image to the Beast. Nobody can afford to miss them.

DEATH OF SISTER RANDALL STEWART.

By Uriah Smith

MRS. SARAH MARIA STEWART, whose maiden name was Hawkes, was born in St. Albans, Me., Feb. 4, 1826, and died in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, April 26, 1900, aged 74 years, 2 months, and 22 days. Thus a little more than the threescore and ten years, mentioned in the prayer of Moses, as the span of human life, was hers to enjoy. Her early years were spent in association with that body of Christians known as Friends, with whom her parents and immediate relatives were connected. Thus the young and formative years of her life were spent in association with those who devoted their energies to the cultivation of that stalwart integrity and honesty of purpose which have ever characterized that denomination, and to the fostering of the Christian graces which lie at the foundation of a genuine religious experience.

At the age of nineteen, she was married to Mr. Randall Stewart, whose death occurred in 1894. Had he lived another year, they would have been able to celebrate their golden wedding. They came to Battle Creek in 1878, and soon became members of the church here, who have thus had the privilege of years of pleasant acquaintance with the family, marking their integrity of character, and their uniform devotion to the principles of godly living.

Ten children, seven daughters and three sons, were born to them. Of these, five of the daughters are still living, all established in homes of their own, and occupying positions of responsibility and usefulness in the cause of present truth, thus testifying to the efficiency of faithful and loving parental training.

Since the death of Brother Stewart, in 1894, Sister Stewart had made her home with her children, Professor and Mrs. Field, in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, where her death occurred, as stated above. An attack of pneumonia, in February last, proved to be her final sickness. Against this, nature bravely struggled till April 26, when she fell a victim to the disease, on the fifty-fifth anniversary of her marriage. With cheerfulness and patience born of a well-founded Christian hope, she endured calmly all her sufferings, which were at times severe, and leaning trustfully on the arm of her Saviour, she entered into rest. The subjects of this notice have been so widely known among our people, especially through the acquaintance and labors of the children, that these particulars will be of interest to the readers of the REVIEW.

A large congregation assembled at the funeral at the Tabernacle, April 28.

U. S.

America’s Trade Balance

In the one hundred years from 1797 to 1897 the balance of net trade in favor of the United States was three hundred and eleven million dollars. In the three years 1897-1900 it was one billion four hundred million dollars. That is to say that in these last three years this balance was in round numbers, one billion, one hundred million dollars more than in the whole century preceding.

The Turkish Indemnity Question

DISCUSSING the proposition that the United States should force Turkey to pay the eighty-eight thousand dollars’ indemnity claimed and admitted, a Washington correspondent says that “the appearance of an American fleet in Turkish waters might well start into existence international complications of the most delicate and hazardous sort.” And this because there is “in many European countries a suspicion that the United States is making too rapid progress as a world-power; that we have set out on a career of imperialism; and that no continent is safe from our ambition.” He remarks that therefore the “effort to squeeze money out of the Turk is not as simple as it appears on the surface.”

Labor and the Money Power

Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., has just issued No. 160 of the Bible Students' Library, entitled “Labor and the Money Power.” It presents in a most striking way the facts as to the enormous accumulation of wealth, especially in the hands of a few, and the meaning of it as foretold in the Scriptures concerning “the last days.” It ought to be in the hands of every person in this nation. It has thirty-two pages of good clear print; and the price is but two cents a single copy. Send a two-cent stamp and get a copy. Address Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.; or Review and Herald Pub.
