A Correction

By A. C. Ames

SEVERAL months ago the Galesburg (Ill.) church published a list of absent members, and asked them to report to the church. We

did not know the whereabouts of most of these persons, and so stated in the notice. We had heard from none of them for a long time, and knew nothing of their spiritual condition. In the list were included the names of Jennie and Josie Nordlind, whom we knew to be at the Sanitarium. We have since had letters from them, and have seen the former, and are glad to learn that they are faithfully laboring to prepare for the Master's service. As the notice we published sets them in an unjust light before their acquaintances, they ask us to set forth the facts, as stated above, which we are glad to do.

A. C. AMES.

North Michigan Camp-Meeting

By S. E. Wight

SEVERAL letters have been received asking questions regarding the camp-meeting. For the benefit of all, I will answer these questions in the REVIEW AND HERALD.

The camp-ground is four blocks south of the depot. Some one will meet all trains on excursion days, look after the baggage of those going to the camp, secure them a conveyance to the ground if they desire. There will be a good line of groceries on the ground. Bakery goods will be furnished by the Petoskey Hygienic Bakery. Rooms in houses are hard to find in Mancelona, and it is doubtful if any can be secured. The camp-ground is in excellent shape, and at that time of the year tent life will be very enjoyable.

Do not wait to order your tent when you get on the ground. We can not promise to fill orders that come in after August 19. Send all orders to A. J. Olsen, Petoskey, Mich. S. E. WIGHT, President.

Report of the Proceedings of the Convention of the Department of Education of the General Conference

By Frederick Griggs

THE report of the proceedings of the convention of the Department of Education of the General Conference, held at College View, Neb., June 12-21, is now ready for mailing. The price of this report is twenty-five cents, postpaid.

The report contains a description of the convention and all its work, the talks which were given, the reports of the committees adopted, etc. Those who attended the convention felt that it would mark a new era of progress in our educational work. In view of this, we feel that all of our people should read this report, even if they are not directly interested in the school work; for certainly the Lord has pointed out the importance of the school work as a part of the message for this time, and all of our people should keep pace with this important branch of the work of the Lord.

This report may be had by addressing the secretary at South Lancaster, Mass., enclosing the price for the same.

FREDERICK GRIGGS, Secretary Department of Education.

East Michigan Camp-Meeting

By J. D. Gowell

DEAR BRETHREN: We feel that this conference and camp-meeting in East Michigan will mark a very important period in the history and welfare of this new conference. There are great and important questions to come before the conference, and we are anxious that there should be a general attendance of our people.

We hope every delegate will be present in time, and we earnestly request that many of our people will come to assist in preparing the camp. We expect the school question will receive more than usual attention. At this meeting we must take steps to place the school work on a more substantial basis. There are many questions of great importance to enlist our attention.

We have been able to secure fare on all the railroads in eastern Michigan, at one and one-half fare for round trip, August 13, 18, 20, 25, to return as late as the 29th. We have asked the railroad association to grant the same privilege to all the people in the southern part of Pennsylvania, as the West Pennsylvania Conference has no general camp-meeting this year, and many of its members will desire to attend this meeting. We expect to be able to give notice to that effect in the REVIEW. May our prayers be united for a special blessing from God at this time. We have not yet been informed who of the General Conference workers will attend our camp-meeting, but we are sure that we shall be supplied with able help. Let us all lay our plans to attend this important annual meeting.

With kindest regards,

J. D. GOWELL, President.

To the Churches of the Atlantic Union Conference

By Frederick Griggs

THE time is not far distant when our church schools should begin their year's session, and there is none too much time in which to plan for the next year's school. If wise plans and thorough preparations are made for the school by the church, it will to a large degree insure its success. This question is one which every church should consider. By this I do not mean to say that every church should have a church school; but where there are children and young people to be educated, the church should certainly carefully and prayerfully consider its duty in relation to this question. The conference committee should be advised with in the establishment of the schools in the churches, as their advice will be of much value in view of their experience in the different churches in the conference where schools have been held.

I shall be glad to correspond with churches desiring teachers, and to do all I can to supply these churches with suitable teachers. Our summer institute will soon close, and the work of the teachers will be arranged. In view of this, it will be necessary to plan for the school and its teacher at an early date.

The Testimonies of the Lord to our churches concerning this important feature of the third angel's message—the education of our children—should be thoughtfully and prayerfully studied at this time; for God has given us instruction in this important matter which will assist in establishing and conducting the schools, and in the salvation not only of the children but of the churches.

FREDERICK GRIGGS.

Obituaries

HANSON.—Died July 2, 1903, of scarlet fever and complications, Earl Jennings, little son of John H. and Daisy Hanson, aged 6 years, 1 month, and 3 days. Funeral service by the writer. H. W. DECKER.

JOHNSON.—Died at her home near Newberg, Ore., June 30, 1903, Anna Johnson, aged 19 years, 9 months, and 5 days. Her last days were her most joyful on earth as she contemplated her Saviour's coming, and the realities of the eternal world were most real to all present as we laid her to rest. ALBERT CAREY.

RANSOM.—Died at his home in Madison, Wis., July 2, 1903, of pneumonia, Thomas Benjamin Ransom, aged 76 years, 3 months, and 25 days. He was born in Brunswick, Me., and married and moved to Wisconsin in 1864. He was converted and began the observance of the Bible Sabbath in 1870. He leaves a wife and four children. He rests in hope. MRS. T. B. RANSOM.

EARL.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at Newberg, Ore., Feb. 4, 1903, of cancer of the stomach, Mrs. K. S. Earl, aged 43 years, 10 months, and 12 days. Sister Earl accepted the truth in 1885 at Kearney, Neb., and came to Oregon in 1897. She leaves a husband, three sons, and three daughters to mourn their loss. M. E.

BARKER.—Died near Hugo, Colo., June 12, 1903, Wright Barker, aged 11 years, 8 months, and 4 days. His very sudden death was a great shock to his parents and friends. He was going after the family mail, about nine miles distant. When almost to his destination, the horse threw him. His foot caught in the stirrup, the horse running and dragging him. When found about twenty-two hours later by his father and a searching party, he was dead. No doubt his death was caused almost instantly. Funeral services were conducted by the writer in the Methodist church at Hugo, where a large company of neighbors and friends were gathered. The parents are comforted with the blessed hope. G. W. ANGLEBARGER.

DAVIS.—Died in Battle Creek, Mich., June 19, 1903, of typhoid pneumonia, Robert L. Davis, near the close of his thirty-eighth year. He came to Battle Creek in 1889, and entered the employ of the Review and Herald Publishing Co. He became an expert as a compositor of music, and was given supervision of that department. He became a member of the Battle Creek church. He was kind hearted in his home, and peaceful among his neighbors. He leaves his loving companion in deep sorrow and grief, and his little son of two years by her side, an aged mother, and three sisters to mourn their loss. But they mourn not without hope of meeting again when Christ shall raise the dead and take his people to the eternal home. There was a large attendance at the funeral in the Tabernacle, and burial in Oak Hill Cemetery. I. D. VAN HORN.

HOWARD.—June 3, 1903, Brother L. L. Howard, of Hallowell, Me., passed peacefully away, to rest in hope till the resurrection morn. He was born at Leeds, Me., Oct. 18, 1825, and in his earlier days labored quite extensively to advance the cause of present truth. He was associated in labor with Elders J. N. Andrews and M. E. Cornell, and several other pioneers; and when the Maine Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was organized, he was its first president. For some time prior to his death he was an intense sufferer, but through it all his faith and hope in God were strong. During his last suffering the precious truths of the third angel's message shone with a new luster in his soul. He is survived by six children, who have the full assurance that their father died in hope of soon seeing Jesus. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by the Methodist minister of the place, and Elder Dexter, of the Maine Conference. F. C. GILBERT.

Fell With the Armor On

By Otho C. Godsmark

ELDER S. OSBORN, one of the oldest ministers among us, fell at his post, July 19, 1903, while attending the eastern Kentucky camp-meeting. He was born in Greenup County, Ky., May 30, 1825. At the age of twenty-six years he moved with his wife to the Territory of Iowa, where they accepted the truths of the third angel's message. In 1871 they returned to their native State, and were the first to preach this message in Kentucky and Tennessee. Under their untiring, unselfish efforts a conference was established and churches organized. In 1877, owing to failing health, he was compelled to leave the active duties of field effort, and settled with his family on a farm at Salt River, Ky. Although retired from active labor, yet his heart's warmest affections were wrapped up in the progress of this message. For the past eighteen months he had again been granted credentials by the conference, and was most happy in being permitted to visit the churches and enter the new fields. At the age of seventy-eight years, he had no thought of relaxing his energies, but was working and planning for the future of this cause. When it was decided to hold a camp-meeting in eastern Kentucky, his heart leaped for joy, and he came to the meeting full of thanksgiving that he could see the work begin to advance, and something definite being done. Sunday forenoon, although feeling somewhat indisposed, he attended the services, and took an active part in the matter of raising means to meet the camp expenses, and also to pay for our large meeting tent. At the close of the service he went to his tent, lay down for a little rest, and while talking with Brother S. M. Jacobs about the work, his head dropped back, and he was gone without a struggle or a moment's warning. He fell at his post, with his armor on. Paralysis of the heart was the immediate cause of his death, but we felt that the Lord had honored his aged servant by laying him away amid the happiest scenes of his later life. We personally accompanied his remains to his home in Salt River, where we laid him to rest by the side of his wife, whom we buried less than one year ago. The cause in our conference has lost an ardent friend, for we feel that a father in Israel has been laid away to rest. Four of his five living children were present at the services, which were held July 22, before a large and sympathetic congregation.

OTHO C. GODSMARK.

“MISSION LEAFLET No. 1,” a four-page leaflet which has been issued by the Mission Board, reminds our people of the benefits which would result both to the individual and to the work if the ten-cent-a-week plan of contributions should be generally adopted. “Ten cents a week, faithfully set aside, and forwarded at the end of each month to the Mission Board, by every Seventh-day Adventist in America, would create one of the greatest mission funds in the history of this message. With such a fund, our work in foreign lands would be hastened forward as never before. More laborers would be sent, more fields would be opened, all countries would soon be entered, and the gospel would go with great power.” We hope every reader of the REVIEW will act upon this plan.

We invite special attention to the article by Sister White on page 8.

J. M. Rees Changes Conferences

ELDER J. M. REES, for several years the president of the Missouri Conference, has accepted the presidency of the Southern Illinois Conference, and has removed with his family to his new field of labor. His address is now Stewardson, Ill.

Mount Vernon Academy Calendar

THE eleventh annual calendar of Mount Vernon Academy is attractive in appearance, and gives full information concerning the work of the institution. A copy can be obtained by addressing the principal, Prof. J. W. Loughhead, Mount Vernon, Ohio.

New General Conference Address

ALL persons who have correspondence with the General Conference, or the Mission Board, or personal correspondence with those connected with these organizations, should remember to address all such mail to 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C. The offices have been removed from Battle Creek, Mich., to Washington, D. C.

Brother Osborn Rests from Labor

Another of the early believers in this message has fallen asleep, and now waits for the coming of Jesus. Brother Osborn, whose death is announced on page 23, was a faithful father in Israel who has long been a witness for the truth. He rests from his labors, and we must take up his work to hasten the coming of the glad day of reunion.

Education Convention Report

By Editor

WE have received a copy of the report of the convention of the Department of Education recently held at College View, Neb. It is a neatly printed pamphlet containing addresses, discussions, and recommendations upon some of the leading questions in the educational work which occupied the attention of the convention. We are confident that it will be read with interest and profit.

Paying for the Washington Church

THE report given in another part of this paper by Brother J. S. Washburn of the contributions thus far received toward paying for the church recently purchased in Washington, D. C., is very encouraging. It shows that with a little further effort the whole obligation can be quickly discharged. The transfer of the headquarters of the denomination to Washington makes still more clear to us the providence of the Lord in the purchase of this property. We hope there will be a prompt response to the call for what is needed to pay the amount still due.

Duncombe Hall College

THE annual announcement of our British school, Duncombe Hall College, has come to us. The school did good work last year, and our brethren are evidently aiming to give next year a still stronger course of practical training. One provision emphasizes the missionary character of the school. With advantages available in so cosmopolitan a center as London, the college can not only offer instruction in the modern languages ordinarily taught in schools, but also in Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Bengali, Hindustani, and Burmese, when required.

El Mensajero

OUR Mexican journal, El Mensajero, is stirring up no little agitation concerning the truth among the Mexican people. The July number comes with a new cover design, adding to its neat appearance. Those who have access to Spanish-speaking communities will find this paper a splendid missionary agency. The price per annum is thirty-five cents, American money. Subscriptions to the paper or donations to the fund for its circulation may be sent to the editor, who is also treasurer of the Mexican Mission, G. W. Caviness, Apartado 2229, Mexico, D. F., or to the Treasurer of the Mission Board, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.

Wanted—A Stenographer

Who can write at least one hundred and fifty words a minute on new matter, and transcribe the same rapidly and accurately; must be good in spelling and a good grammarian, and should also have ordinary business talent to look after general matters of office routine. For further information apply to P. T. Magan, Berrien Springs, Mich.

Our Removal to Washington

By A. G. Daniells

THE headquarters of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists are now being removed from Battle Creek, Mich., to Washington, D. C. This change of the location of our general offices means much to our cause. It involves so much that it should not be made without good and sufficient reasons.

Realizing something of the meaning of this step, and knowing the deep interest our people everywhere feel in changes that vitally affect the cause with which they are identified, I esteem it a pleasure to place before all a statement of the situation.

The headquarters of this cause were established in Battle Creek in 1855. Prior to that time, the work had been managed in the East. In “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. I, are given some statements relative to the removal of the headquarters from the East to Battle Creek. From these statements I quote the following:—

“In 1855 the brethren in Michigan opened the way for the office of publication to be removed to Battle Creek. . . . The cause had apparently come to a halt, orders for publications were very few and small. . . . Those were days of sadness. . . . From the time we moved to Battle Creek, the Lord began to turn our captivity. . . . New life was given to the cause, and success attended the labors of our preachers. The publications were called for, and proved to be just what the cause demanded.

“I saw that special efforts should be made in the West with tents; for the angels of God are preparing minds there to receive the truth. This is why God has moved on some in the East to move to the West. Their gifts can accomplish more in the West than in the East. The burden of the work is in the West, and it is of the greatest importance that the servants of God should move in his opening providence.

“I saw that when the message shall increase greatly in power, then the providence of God will open and prepare the way in the East for much more to be accomplished than can be at the present time. God will then send some of his servants in power to visit places where little or nothing can now be done; and some who are now indifferent will be aroused, and will take hold of the truth.”

From these statements, we see that at the time of the removal to the West, conditions in the East were such that it was difficult to carry on the work there; that the way was open in the West for the message to make rapid progress; that the cause would in time become strong in the West; and that when it had obtained a strong foothold in the West, and changes for the better had taken place in the East, God would then send some of his servants back to the East to do what could not be done at the time of the transfer to the West.

All this has been fulfilled. The cause has become strong in the West. Prejudice has to a large extent disappeared in the East. And now the Lord, through the spirit of prophecy, is directing us to return to the East, and we are following the counsel given. A. G. DANIELLS.
