Earlier text: Coming Up Out of the EarthOR THE DANGERS OF PORK EATING EXPOSED.
2. Do you imagine that the repulsiveness of this loathsome creature is only on the outside? that within, everything is pure and wholesome? Vain delusion. Sickening, disgusting, as is the exterior, it is, in comparison with what it covers, a fair cloak to hide a mass of disease and rottenness which grows more superlatively filthy as we penetrate deeper and deeper beneath the skin. Just under the foul and putrid skin we find a mass of fat from two to six inches in thickness, covering a large portion of the body. Now what is this? Lard, says one, animal oil; an excellent thing for consumptives; a very necessary kind of food in cold weather. Lard, animal oil, very truly; and, we will add, as synonyms, disease, scrofula, torpid liver, erysipelas! Where did all that fat come from? or how happened it to be heaped up around that poor hog so prodigiously? Surely, it is not natural; for fat is only deposited in large quantities for the purpose of keeping the body warm in winter. This fat is much more than is necessary for such a purpose, and is much greater in amount than ever exists upon the animal in a state of nature. It is evidently the result of disease. So gross have been the habits of the animal, so great has been the foulness of its body, that its excretory organs—its liver, lungs, kidneys, skin, and intestines, have been entirely unable to carry away all the impurities which the animal has been all its life accumulating. And even the extensive system of sewerage, with its constant stream, which we have already described, was insufficient to the task of purging so vile a body of the scrofula which abounded in every organ, and saturated every tissue. Consequently, this great flood of disease, which made the blood a black, turbid current, was crowded out of the veins and arteries into the tissues, and there accumulated as fat! Delectable morsel, a slice of fat pork, is n't it? Concentrated, consolidated, scrofula, filth! Then the fatter a hog, the more diseased he is? Certainly. A few months ago, there were on exhibition at the great cattle show in England a couple of hogs which had been stuffed with oil-cake until they were the greatest monsters of obesity ever exhibited. Of course, they took the first premium; and if a premium had been awarded for those animals capable of producing the most disease, it is quite probable that they would have headed the list still. Lard, then, obtained from the flesh of the hog by heating, is nothing more than extract of disease! the essence of putridity and scrofula! Who that knows its character will dare to defile himself with this "broth of abominable things"? Now let us take a little deeper glance, prepared to find disease and corruption more abundant the deeper we go. Observe the glands which lie about the neck. Instead of being of their ordinary size, and composed of ordinary gland structure, we find enlarged masses of scrofulous disease. Perhaps tuberculous degeneration has already taken place. If so, the soft, cheesy, infectious mass is ready to sow broadcast the seeds of consumption and premature death. For, according to some excellent medical authorities, tuberculous disease is capable of communication by means of tubercles. If the animal is of sufficient age, the further process of ulceration will have occurred. Now take a deeper look still, and examine the lungs of this much-prized animal. If he is more than a few months old, you will be certain to find large numbers of scrofulous tubercles if you make a careful examination. If he is much more than a year of age, you will more than likely as not find a portion of the lung completely consolidated. Yet all of this filthy, diseased mass is cooked as a delicious morsel, is served up to satisfy fastidious tastes. If the animal had escaped the butcher's knife a few years, he would have died of tuberculous consumption. But what kind of a liver would you expect such an animal to have? Is not excessive fatness one of the surest evidences of a diseased and inactive liver? Infallible. Then a fat hog must have a dreadful diseased bile manufactory. Make a cut into its substance. In ninety-five cases out of a hundred, you will find it filled with abscesses. In a larger percentage still will be found the same scrofulous deposits which seem to infest every organ, every tissue, and every structure of the animal. Yet these same rotten, diseased, scrofulous livers are eaten and relished by thousands of people who cannot express their contempt for the Frenchman who eats a horse, or Chinaman who dines upon fricasseed puppy. Now just glance at the remaining contents of the abdomen. In every part you notice evidences, unmistakable, of scrofula, fatty degeneration, and tuberculous accumulations. WHERE SCROFULA COMES FROM.
The word Scrofula is derived from the Latin scrofa, which means, a sow. The ancient Romans evidently believed that scrofula originated with the hog, and hence they attached the name of the beast to the disease. Saying that a man has scrofula, then, is equivalent to saying that he has the hog disease. After we have seen that the hog is the very embodiment of scrofula, is filled with it, literally overflowing with it, in fact, since he requires sewers to carry it off sufficiently to preserve his own life—after viewing this, can any one doubt the accuracy of the conclusion of the Romans who named the disease? We shall not attempt to trace the history of this horrid animal, which frequently attains the length of thirty to fifty feet in the intestines of human beings, only so far as concerns its introduction into the human system. With this end in view, let us glance again at that ulcerated liver. Upon closer inspection, it will be no uncommon thing if we discover numberless little sacs, or cysts, about the size of a hemp seed. These do not present a very formidable appearance, certainly; but as soon as they are taken into the stomach by eating the flesh containing them, the gastric juice dissolves off the membranous sac and liberates a minute animal which had been lurking there for months, perhaps, awaiting this very opportunity. This creature, although quite minute, is furnished with a head and four suckers. With the latter it attaches itself firmly to the side of the stomach, and begins to grow. In a short time it produces an addition to its body which is attached like a joint behind. Soon a duplicate of this is produced, and then another and another, until a body three or four rods in length is formed. The poor victim who is forced to entertain this unwelcome guest suffers untold agonies, and finally dies if he cannot succeed in dislodging the parasite. The germs of these dreadful animals are found not only in the liver, but in the other organs as well. Pork containing them is said to be measly. Sometimes it is discovered; but that such is by no means always the case is evidenced by the fact that tapeworm is every year becoming more and more frequent in this country. It has long been common in Germany. St. Charles, Mich.

I COMMENCED labor here Feb. 8, and still continue the effort. Found this church in a very indifferent condition, but by the blessing of God and a persevering effort, there has been a general awakening. About twenty have made a start in the service of the Lord; among these is a brother who had fully given up the truth. His starting again to obey the truth gave great joy to all the church. At a business meeting the tithing plan was cheerfully adopted by nearly all, and a club of fifty SIGNS was taken. This church has one of the best Sabbath-schools I have seen in Michigan; they have adopted the S. S. contribution box, and it proves a success in their school. E. R. JONES. Salisbury, Missouri.

I HAVE been here three weeks, preaching in the Baptist church. Our congregations have ranged from one hundred to two hundred very regularly, and the interest has been good. We have reached the crisis of the meeting, and many are in the valley of decision. Several have concluded to keep the Sabbath, and we hope for a goodly number. The tent was here several years ago, but the interest is much greater now. Debello, Wis.
By H. W. Decker
FEBRUARY 15 and 16 I spent with the company at Debello, which were brought out last summer under the labors of Bro. O. A. Johnson. There are about forty keeping the Sabbath in the vicinity. On first-day, the 16th, a church of twenty-nine members was organized. Officers were chosen, and the elder and deacon were ordained. They are preparing to build a meeting-house. Religious News and Notes.

-It is said Dr. Newman has declined the Cardinal's hat offered to him by the Pope. -The Jesuits have no legal right to exist in France, yet they are very numerous there. -M. Geoffroi, Old Catholic Cure of Courtemaiche, has re-entered the Roman Catholic Church. -The World's Conference of the Evangelical Alliance is arranged to hold August 31 to Sept. 7, in Bale, Switzerland. -A little girl severely criticised a preacher thus: "He preached so long that he made me sleepy, and then hollared so loud he wouldn't let me sleep!" -A colporteur of the American Bible Society in Missouri, says he found young men of 18 or 20 years who seemed to know nothing about the Bible. -Bishop Simpson, in one of his Yale lectures, says the minister's supervison of the Sunday-school should extend particularly to the books in the library. -The friends of Archbishop Purcell protested against the acceptance of his resignation, but Pope Leo has accepted it and he is only ex-archbishop now. -Rev. W. J. Smith, in the Central Presbyterian Church in San Francisco, March 16, said, "There are 3,000 gilded saloons in this great city where they sell the devil in solution." -The work of "Bible Revision" is meeting with favor from the best talent in the churches of the United States. We never expect, however, to see another than the present version in general use. -Superstition is yet alive. Great excitement was created by the report of the apparition of the Virgin Mary at a town in Bavaria. Bishop Senestry pronounced it a fraud. "Somebody blundered." -Joseph Cook, the lecturer, speaking of the Bible in public schools, gives utterance to the following suggestive remark.-The place of the Bible in schools will be occupied by the power which displaces it. -Dr. Kirk made a most cutting reply to a boaster of graces who said, "I am perfect; I have not sinned for five years." Said the Dr., "I am sorry to hear you say that, for I have heretofore always had a high idea of perfection." -A Baptist minister in St. Louis is being strongly praised for his Christian charity because he invited a Unitarian D. D. to remain at the communion. Such charity is very cheap, or the principles and consistency of the church are worthless. -The attendance at twenty-nine churches on a recent Sunday in Philadelphia was reported as 32,388 persons. Seemingly a good showing but-21,726 were Catholics, meeting in four churches, leaving 10,662 among twenty-five Protestant churches. -Dr. Washburn, President of Robert College, Constantinople, in an article in the Independent, reviews the action of the Berlin Conference, in regard to religious liberty in Turkey, and says that it amounts to nothing as far as missions are concerned. -The Cleveland Messenger says, "Sing as you go. Satan and sin and melancholy, and laziness, hate the songs of Zion." To which the Christian at Work says it knows of some "lazy Christians who take it all out in singing and don't do a bit of the Lord's work." -Dean Stanley says the contributions for missions of the Catholic churches in the whole world do not amount to one-third of those of the Protestant communions of Great Britain. And yet it cannot be denied that the Catholic church is a great missionary worker. -The Methodist laymen of Brooklyn who favor the repeal of the limitations of the Methodist pastorate are soon to hold a Convention in Simpson Church, when action will probably be taken in the form of a petition to the General Conference, which meets next year. -The Christian Leader, a Universalist paper, commenting on the action of a Congregational church in omitting the word "everlasting" from its creed to accommodate a couple of Universalists who wished to unite, says, "We could not desire the fellowship of a church the conscience of which is so pliable." That is sensible. -The Paris correspondent of the London Guardian (Anglican) gives a long and not very favorable report of the opening services of Father Hyacinthe's chapel in Paris. The congregation was largely composed of Protestants and the indifferent, few Catholics being present. There was much disorder, the voice of the Pere being drowned at one time in the tumult. -The Brooklyn Presbytery has decided to try Dr. Talmage on the following charges, presented by the committee appointed at the previous session: Deceit and falsehood in statements regarding his withdrawal from the editorship of the Christian at Work. In stating that sittings in the "Tabernacle were free. In accusing J. A. Hathaway of dishonest practices and then denying it. Of falsehood in collecting subscriptions for the payment of the church debt. Of deceit in the difficulty concerning the organist of the Tabernacle: and of stating that he was to be arraigned for heterodoxy, when he knew that such was not the case. The trial is set for the 24th. —A railroad is to be built to the top of Vesuvius. —The effort to impeach the late French Cabinet has failed. —The Insane Asylum at Napa, Cal., is full, and “more are coming.” —The Nihilists are giving things an unpleasant outlook in Russia. —In Muncie, Ind., they have put phonography in the school course of studies. —A vessel from Rio Janeiro is quarantined off New Orleans with yellow fever on board. —The Kern County Gazette reports, March 8, about one inch of rain for the season; prospects dull. —The clerk of the Pullman Car Company who stole the funds, has received a ten year's sentence. —In one district of Sheffield, Eng., there are 4,000 destitute persons, and 400 families actually starving. —Militia companies are organizing in San Joaquin Valley to resist the demands of the “Railroad monopoly.” —Two powder explosions in Pennsylvania, —Pottsville, March 2, one killed, and Danville, March 3, three killed. —The Democrats have a majority in both Houses of Congress. The scramble for the nomination of Speaker has been unusually sharp. —The “Passion Play” is being performed only in part in San Francisco. The crucifixion scene was omitted in regard for public feeling. —At Gilmore's Gardens, New York, March 12, a section of seats about 45 feet long and 20 deep fell, creating a panic, as a great crowd was present. About twenty persons were injured. —In North Berwick, Me., March 10, the floor of a hall gave way during town meeting, precipitating about 150 persons to the floor below, seriously injuring many. Much indignation is felt against the builder of the hall. —In France everything has a stormy outlook in government affairs. In Germany Bismarck seems to be losing his influence. It is greatly feared that his strong measures will give controlling power to the communists or socialists. —And now reports come from St. Petersburg of terrible mortality from a virulent form of typhus, and some cases of plague. As some symptoms of the plague resemble those of the typhus, it seems likely that the plague is really raging there. —An alliance has been lately consummated between two Royal houses; Prince Arthur of England married Louisa of Prussia. A two-column description of the wedding in daily American papers will appease the general taste for snobbery. —The Raleigh Observer says the people of North Carolina annually pay $8,500,960 for intoxicating liquors, which exceeds the value of her cotton crop by over one million dollars. And her legislature is trying to devise some way to evade the full payment of the public debt. —When Cardinal McCloskey returned from Rome he rebuked the editor of The Freeman's Journal for being more papal than the Pope. And now the Bishop of Alton has forbid the clergy of his diocese reading the Journal. Converts are apt to be zealous—sometimes too much so. —Congressman Whiteaker of Oregon landed in Oakland 26 hours behind the leaving of the train which would take him in time to reach Washington at the organization of the House. An extra train overtook the other at Green River, making double time. It is said he will make the trip to Washington in five days. —The United States Inspectors exonerate the officers of the Alameda and El Capitan from blame in the recent collision. They report a good lookout, and that the fog was so dense that the sound of the whistles recoiled, deceiving all in regard to the distance. The whistle of a tug not over 600 feet distant could not be heard. —The excitement in New York is almost equal to that of a money panic. Three or four men have tramped themselves nearly to death, and unknown thousands have been spent in seeing. A few things can be spared from several other States if New York requires. Really, this is enough to make a man ashamed of his kind. —Accounts from Brazil are very gloomy. A New York paper says,—The land is dried up for want of rain, and even the birds have perished by millions. The inhabitants themselves seem to have been devoted exclusively to agriculture and pasturage, but for nearly twelve months the parched earth has refused to give her increase, and the cattle have died side by side with their late owners. Obituary.

DIED, in Waterloo, Grant Co., Wis., Feb 14, 1879, Sister Rebecca Droullard, aged 78 years, 2 months, and 13 days. She embraced the advent faith ten years ago, under the labors of Elder I. Sanborn. We believe she will have a part in the first resurrection. Remarks by Father Ganiard, from Job 14:14. MARY E. PHINNEY. A Disastrous Flood.
By Editor
The most disastrous flood of which we ever heard has lately been experienced in Hungary. Szegedin was the second city in Hungary, containing about 80,000 inhabitants. It has been entirely inundated, with one hundred square miles of surrounding country. It is not possible to determine the number of lives lost. Hundreds of corpses have been found; but at the time of the latest news the work of rescuing the survivors was progressing slowly. The first report estimated the loss at hundreds, but from the nature of the calamity we considered this estimate very imperfect. Up to the 17th inst., it was thought the loss was 4,000, which we think will yet fall below the truth. The inundation was accompanied by a most terrific storm. Many of the buildings were of unburned brick, and the action of the water caused them to crumble, carrying down those who had taken refuge on their tops. Other towns are threatened, and it will be some time before the actual loss and damage can be certainly ascertained. Please Take That Back!

The West Oakland Press contains the following notice which we suppose refers to us:— “WILL SELL OUT CHEAP. A rumor is on the streets that the Seventh Day Advents are beginning to dispose of their property and printing material, upon the grounds that in five years there will be no more use for them as the advent of the second coming of Christ will then have taken place. Taking this in consideration with the prediction that the world is coming to an end in 1881, we think it is eminently fitting that they sell out before the second coming of Christ.” We can assure our neighbor that there is a cheap sell about this matter somewhere, but it is not on our side. He has evidently been sold this time. 1. We are not disposing of our property or material. We are manufacturing printers’ material; this, and this only, we are disposing of on reasonable terms. If our neighbor of the Press wishes to dress up with new type, or rule, we shall be glad to furnish him. Or if he wishes a supply of paper, cards, or any thing of that kind, he will find it here. We are ready to take large orders for such material, but that will not by any means interfere with our business, which is constantly increasing instead of decreasing. There is no better place on the Pacific coast to get a first-class job of book or music printing than at our Office. 2. We have never said, or hinted, or thought that the Lord will come in 1881. We must confess that there is a great deal of folly manifested in time-setting, but this confession is not for ourselves. We have never fallen so deeply in error as that. It is our enemies, not ourselves, which do that kind of work. We stand ready to prove by “the sure word of prophecy,” and by the signs which our Saviour gave and commanded us to understand, that the second advent is near, but with the time we have nothing to do. That is not revealed. We do not wish to be understood as classing the Press among our enemies. It confesses to follow only “a rumor on the streets.” But there is a slur in the item which we do not deserve. We have treated all our neighbors with the utmost courtesy, and for the sake of the cause which we represent we ask them to treat us accordingly. Our Words Kept.
By Dr. W. P. Mackay
WHEN in New York, two months ago, one of the most remarkable things we saw was the phonograph, invented by a clever young mechanician called Edison. It is an instrument into which, when one speaks, his voice striking against a mica disc, sets it in motion. This presses a steel point against a quickly-revolving cylinder covered with tinfoil, which receives the impress of the point, which is an exact representation of the vibrations produced by the voice retaining its strength, tone, and character. As long as this tinfoil retains these impressions, the voice may be heard exactly as it spoke upon the circle of mica. We were told that it could be heard 200 times, and if preserved, could be heard a thousand or ten thousand years after this. We spoke into it, and it was something ghost-like to hear one's own voice re-produced exactly as it spoke. Being rather hoarse by continued preaching, the tones were rather rough and unmusical, but the phonograph neither flattered nor changed. Out came the same rough, unmusical words as had entered. A most solemn meaning was given to us there and then of many passages in scripture! Man's ingenuity has got so far. But what of man's God, the Judge of all the earth? Does he not say something about every idle word coming into judgment? When the books are opened, and man sees his own actions photographed, and hears his own voice condemning him, will he not be speechless? May the Lord set a guard on our lips! I have in my possession that piece of tinfoil with which even man could make me hear my own voice back from after millenniums had passed over me. And think of the tinfoil of a man's life covered over with his oaths, his lies, his licentious talk, his drunken songs, his idle words. A man condemned by his own voice! A man hearing himself at the Great White Throne, cursing his own soul, or blaspheming God. Reader, our only hope is in the blood of the Lamb. That can wipe out all our sins. As sure as the throne of judgment shall be set, so surely will God judge mankind. Praise his name that by faith we can now hear, and pass from death unto life, and cross the judgment line. Christians, shall this year not record for us words of grace and faithfulness? May we speak nothing that we would be ashamed to hear at Christ's judgment seat. What manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God!—Dr. W. P. Mackay, in the British Evangelist. Teachers' Bibles.
By Editor
AFTER a careful examination of many varieties of Bibles, we are satisfied that the Oxford Teachers' Bible presents more advantages than any other we have seen. The print is clear, and the binding substantial. In addition to the authorized text, with references, it contains much that is essential to the study of the Bible, to wit :— 1. Notes on the Old and New Testaments. 2. Index. 3. Concordance. 4. Dictionary of Scriptural names, with their pronunciation and meaning. 5. Twelve Scripture Maps. The price has been recently reduced, so that they can be offered even lower than the English Bibles we have previously kept. We have also a good supply of family Bibles and Bibles adapted for church use, which were bought low and can be sold below prices offered at any book store. The type is Small Pica, and very easy to read. Prices from $7.50 to $9.00. These Bibles must be sent by freight or express as they are too heavy to go by mail. We have a few copies of Bibles for the center table, beautifully bound, Minion type. Prices from $4.00 to $7.50. | Number. |
