Obituaries.

“I am the resurrection and the life.”*—Jesus

REECE.—Born at Vienna, Canada, July 14, 1853; died at Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 2, 1900, Sister Reece. She had lived in Ohio about fourteen years, and had been a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for some time. We trust she fell asleep in the faith of Jesus. M. S. BABCOCK.
SHEAR.—Fell asleep in Jesus, Oct. 8, 1900, at Homer, Mich., our beloved brother in Christ, Henry H. Shear, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He was an earnest, faithful, and devoted Christian, and died in bright hope of a part in the first resurrection. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. R. C. HORTON.
GUDGEON.—Died at Ottervale, Wis., Oct. 28, 1900, after an illness of about three weeks, Mrs. Mary Jane Gudgeon, at the age of 59 years. Sister Gudgeon accepted the Sabbath about two years ago, and died in full trust that she will be raised at the first resurrection. Words of consolation were spoken by the writer. M. N. CAMPBELL.
BODLY.—Departed this life at the home of her daughter, near Homer, Mich., April 12, 1900, in the eighty-sixth year of her age, Sister Polly M. Bodly. She leaves four daughters and one son to mourn their loss; but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. The funeral services were conducted at Hillsdale, Mich., by the writer. R. C. HORTON.
NEW.—Died at Clyde, Kan., Sept. 22, 1900, Sister Fannie A. New, aged 58 years, 11 months, 22 days. Sister New accepted present truth about seven years ago. She was an earnest Christian woman, and fell asleep with a bright hope. Her husband died about nine months ago. Sister New left no children, but a large circle of friends and a few relatives. Words of comfort and hope were spoken by the writer. E. H. CURTIS.
COLE.—Mary Arvilla Osburn was born in Riga, N. Y., March 28, 1817, and fell asleep in Jesus, Oct. 3, 1900. She was married to John Cole, Oct. 11, 1835, who was laid to rest in 1884. She accepted present truth through reading some tracts left by a brother who never knew the result. She loved to study the Bible and to talk of the truth. Her life was spent in doing good. In her eighty-first year she quilted two quilts, and sent them to the Old People’s Home at Battle Creek. Services were held in the Adventist church at Mendon, Mich. Funeral sermon was preached by the writer, from Amos 4:12. Elder J. C. Harris assisted in the services. B. HAGLE.
WRIGHT.—Died in Bellville, Ohio, Sept. 21, 1900, after an illness of nearly two years, Mrs. Isabel Wright, aged 75 years, 10 months, 27 days. Sister Wright united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at its organization here, in 1867, remaining faithful till the day of her death. She was a regular attendant at church, serving for many years in different official positions. The REVIEW was one of her dearest earthly friends; and when she could no longer meet with the church on the Sabbath, she enjoyed her paper more than ever. Funeral services were conducted by the writer; text, James 4:13–15. H. H. BURKHOLDER.

Christ’s Object Lessons

BY ELLEN G. WHITE.
In this volume the author brings clearly to view the life and character and the parable teaching of Christ, the Creator of nature. Illustrating his sermons from the scenes in nature, thus leading from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables make a link in the chain of truth which unites God with man, and earth with heaven. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home, nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. As soon as the holy pair transgressed the law of the Most High, the brightness from the face of God departed from the face of nature. Yet even in its blighted state, rightly understood, nature speaks of her Creator.
In the days of Christ men had well-nigh ceased to discern God in his works, and they worshiped and served the created more than the Creator. Christ, by his teaching, sought to remove the veil that sin had cast over the face of nature, which obstructed the truth.
Parable teaching was popular in the days of the Saviour, and commanded the respect and attention not only of the Jews, but of the people of other nations. Thus the Saviour taught the multitudes who flocked to hear him daily. No more effective method of instruction could be employed than that used by the Saviour in illustrating divine truths. Scenes of nature, rightly understood, speak of our Creator as much to-day as they did nineteen hundred years ago.
All should read this book. The proceeds from its sale go to the relief of our schools. It contains 436 pages, beautiful frontispiece, table of contents, list of illustrations, Scriptural and general indexes.

Merchants Lament the Collapse of China Trade

MERCHANTS of the world are complaining that the China trade is dead, and are beseeching the Powers speedily to find a way to settled order and peace. But that is a task which the Powers find exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to perform.

Filipino Resistance Attributed to Ethnological Homogeneity

THE commander-in-chief of the United States army in the Philippines officially reports that the reason of the continued resistance of the Filipinos is “ethnological homogeneity, which induces men to respond for a time to the appeals of consanguineous leadership, even when such action is opposed to their own interest.”

THE MODEL BOOK

in recounting the Bible story for the little folks, is “Easy Steps in the Bible Story.” In this book the story is retold from creation to the giving of the law on Sinai. And it is well done: the thrill of the very Spirit that first gave the story as it is in the Bible, is in the story as it is now given in these Easy Steps in the Bible Story. In addition to the actual telling of the story in the words in the book, an immense help and a delightful entertainment are given to the children in the beautiful and telling pencil sketches which accompany the story, in text and margin, all the way. No better present can be made to each one of the little folks, than a copy of this model book. Do it. Price, in cloth, 50 cents; in paper cover, 25 cents. Address Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.; or Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.

Endorsements of the Book "My Mother's Life"

By Editor

Of that model home-book for girls and women—“My Mother’s Life”—Bishop Vincent well says: “The book should go into every Sunday-school library and into every home.” Mrs. Helen M. Barker says: “Every W. C. T. U. woman should read this book.” Mrs. Katherine Lente Stevenson says: “Our State [Massachusetts] W. C. T. U. convention heartily indorsed the book, and I shall use my utmost endeavor to find for it a place in white-ribbon homes.” Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman says: “The experience . . . as told in this book will bless and comfort the world.” Mrs. Lilian M. N. Stevens and Anna Gordon say that it “will be welcomed by all white ribboners.” These words of appreciation are all fully deserved by the book. Mrs. Rossiter’s special offer on it to our Woman’s Gospel Work women expires December 1: we fear that not nearly the use has been made of that offer that there should have been, and that the offer in every way deserved.

A WONDERFUL MOVEMENT.

By P. T. Magan

And now at last it looks as if the day of small things in the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS were past, and the grand march toward freedom fairly begun.
During the last few days, almost every laborer in the States of Iowa and Nebraska has gone forth to rouse the churches to scatter “Christ’s Object Lessons” and pay the debts. “I think they are all with you in this move,” said an honest, simple-hearted boy in Iowa the other day, “for every Adventist in this part of the country is praying for God to bless this work; and they are praying as they have never prayed before.”
Iowa has gone forth to sell twenty-five thousand copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” An order for ten thousand has already been placed with the REVIEW AND HERALD. We pause a moment to breathe a prayer that this “going forth” may be ended by the Finisher of our faith as happily as that of Abram and Sarai, of whom it is written: “And they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.”
The word comes from Michigan that almost every laborer in the State is engaging in the work of scattering “Christ’s Object Lessons.” Those having charge of the enterprise expect to sell forty-two thousand copies at the full retail price of $1.25 a copy, and return all the money to the debt fund.
God willing, the good old publishing house, the REVIEW AND HERALD, will issue fifty thousand copies of the “Object Lessons” before the sun rises on Christmas day. Those in the Office are praising God that the people are selling so much of the truth, that the Office presses, folders, and binding machines must run day and night, rolling out the glorious message, without being compelled to take work from the world.
Amen. So let the work go on; and may our God-fearing brethren and sisters all over the land let their prayers go up like sweet incense to God, that his Spirit may breathe upon the hearts of those whom God has blessed with money, that they may give liberally to purchase material for this precious book. And thus the work will not be hindered, and no one will lose the blessing by withholding that which is meet.
P. T. MAGAN.

THE WORLD’S OUTLOOK NUMBER OF THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

By Geo. A. Irwin

It might seem to some that enough had already been said upon the importance and value of this number; but after looking it over carefully, I can not refrain from saying a few words more. The paper is neat and artistic in its make-up and general appearance, and reflects credit, not only upon those who have been instruments in God’s hands in bringing it out, but upon the whole denomination. But best of all, and more important than all, it is brimful of present truth for this present time. More copies of this number should be placed in the hands of the people than of any former issue. Now is our time to engage heartily in the work of warning the people. Soon, very soon, it will be too late. I trust that each church-member will feel it his duty to assist to the extent of his ability in giving this number a wide circulation. GEO. A. IRWIN.
