“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.” Rev. 14:13.
HAMILTON.—Died of typhoid fever, at Blockville, Chautauqua Co., N. Y., Dec. 12, 1879, Bro. Thomas U. Hamilton. He was converted to God and embraced the truths of the third angel’s message under the labors of the writer, during the tent season three years ago. The elevating and sanctifying influences of present truth were markedly manifest in this dear brother’s life and character. He was a firm, consistent, faithful overcomer, earnest in seeking close communion with Jesus. He evinced much of the true spirit of Christ in his daily life, and has laid down to rest, mourned, not alone by his wife and six dear children, but by the entire community. Words of comfort at the funeral from Job. 14:14. CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.
BEEBE.—Died of old age, at Homer, Iowa, Dec. 16, 1879, Sister Susan Beebe, aged 79 years. She with her husband embraced the Advent faith under the labors of William Miller, and was among the first to receive the Sabbath. She had been a widow for many years, living with her children. She was a devoted Christian, and died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. May her many prayers for her children ever be remembered. A large circle of friends are left to mourn, yet not without hope. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Job. 14:14. J. S. HART.
COTTRELL.—Died in Ridgeway, N. Y., Dec. 23, 1879, my dear wife, Maryette Cottrell, aged 63 years and 9 months. She leaves four children and an adopted son. We sadly feel our loss, but hope to meet again in the everlasting kingdom. She had kept the Sabbath nearly forty years, and had cherished the hope of a soon-coming Saviour about twenty-seven years. Funeral sermon by Eld. Paddock, Methodist, from the words, “Our Father.” Matt. 6:9. JOHN H. COTTRELL.
The Prospect of a Moral Interregnum.
By Editor
Prof. Goldwin Smith contributes to the Atlantic Monthly for November a thoughtful article upon “The Prospect of a Moral Interregnum” consequent upon the decadence of religious faith. He draws attention to the unsuspecting complacency with which thinkers of the materialistic school seem to regard the immediate future, as though religion were merely an obstruction to scientific progress, which could be got out of the way without any peril to morality. He points out the essential weakness of current Agnosticism, in that it accepts so much of the moral code based on Christianity, and of the results of the Christian system, as it finds convenient, at the same time that it endeavors to overthrow the Christian faith. Religion, he insists, is, and has always been, in its various forms, something more than a mere cosmogony or an explanation of physical phenomena; it is the basis of moral life, the support of righteousness and the terror of unrighteousness. Always, in the past, morality has rested upon religious belief, and the collapse of religious belief has been followed by a sort of moral interregnum.
In the view of Prof. Smith, we are upon the verge of a collapse of religious belief of the most tremendous kind, affecting, not the form, but the essence of Christianity. We must, therefore, he argues, look for a moral interregnum similar to those which have followed like revolutions of faith in the past. What is to become, he asks, of the Christian type of character, the brotherhood of man, and the very idea of humanity itself,—all of them beliefs which are inseparably connected with the universal Fatherhood of God and the fraternal relation of all men to Christ? If we dispose of the religious idea, there is thenceforth nothing truly sacred; everything must present its title to existence through some sort of force. The scientific theories exclude morality, and they exclude responsibility and effort, which are the elements of moral life.
Practical symptoms of the change in progress may be discerned in England in the changed sentiment and conduct toward weaker communities, and the substitution of “policy,” interest, and passion for the rules of international law, in the treatment of the Zulus and the Afghans and the relations with Turkey and her subject peoples. The world, Prof. Smith believes, is “in considerable danger of a desperate conflict between different classes of society for the good things of that which people are coming to believe is the only world;” and he asks, “Is it likely that the passions of such a conflict will be controlled by any motive derived from scientific definitions of evolution; by any consideration connected with the rhythm of motion, the instability of the homogeneous, or the multiplication of effects? Force is force, and its own warrant; so the strong will say, and upon this principle they will act in the struggle for existence and for the enjoyments of existence.”
We have presented the substance of Prof. Smith’s reasonings, and the conclusions which he reaches, because it seems to us important that the connection between morality and Christianity should be more distinctly emphasized than it has been. The assaults which materialism makes upon religion can be rightly estimated only as it is remembered that with the Christian faith, if it were to go down, would perish the restraints which hold society together, and we should have an era of brute force in place of the dominion of law. Skeptics and men of science, who direct their energies to knocking away the pillars on which society rests, must not flatter themselves that they can sustain the superstructure after they have demolished the foundation. If the work which they have undertaken were to be carried on with the success which they anticipate, the result would be something quite different from what they look for; for with Christianity would disappear the civilization which has drawn its ideals, its laws and its sanctions, from the Christian system.—Boston Journal.
THE TELEPHONE.
MUCH as has already been done to fulfill Daniel’s prophecy that in the time of the end many should run to and fro, and knowledge should be increased, new developments and new confirmations of the prophet’s words are every day appearing. The telephone seems destined to perform an important part in this work.
Of the rapidity with which this device has been put to a practical use (and which also furnishes an index to the spirit of this age) the Scientific American, in its issue of Jan. 10, 1880, thus speaks:—
“There is nothing more characteristic of the present age than the avidity with which it seizes upon and puts to practical use the discoveries of science and the infinite marvels of invention. To-day the experimental student wrests from the secret treasures of the universe a new truth, a new law, a new manifestation of force. To-morrow a countless host of printing presses spread a knowledge of the discovery to the earth’s remotest bounds. Directly it is made a working factor in the world’s best thought and action; in a little while some practical mind puts the harness of utility upon the new truth, and straightway the world is the richer by another invention. What would formerly have taken centuries to accomplish—or what the most fearless minds would scarcely have dared to dream of undertaking—is now done in a day. The invention is achieved, and finds a world predisposed to receive it with gladness, even though its adoption should necessitate many and radical changes in the whole range of national and social customs. It took the steam engine centuries to pass from the stage of science unapplied to that of practical utility. The telegraph was not so many years in rising from the level of scientific experiment to that of a useful factor in the daily affairs of nations. What the telegraph accomplished in years the telephone has done in months. One year it was a scientific toy, with infinite possibilities of practical use; the next it was the basis of a system of communication the most rapidly expanding, intricate, and convenient that the world has known.”
Having described the Telephone Exchange of N. Y. city, at the central office of which upwards of 5,000 messages are received daily, the Scientific American continues:—
“The limits of our space forbid any attempt even to summarize the infinite range and variety of possible telephonic communication. Its scope is as wide, as limitless indeed, as is the range of communication possible between men. Any question that a business man may have occasion to ask of another, any instruction he may wish to give to a distant subordinate, any message that a boy can carry, and that may be written, falls within its province. Even at the low average of a mile for the distance between the widely separated subscribers in this city the five thousand daily communications mean five thousand miles of travel saved for somebody. And the time gained by the saving of those five thousand miles of travel means not less than a thousand hours of the most valuable portion of the day, an average of over an hour and a half daily to each subscriber. The increase of business efficiency due to such savings of time and trouble is beyond computation.”

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
By Editor
This is the pioneer sheet of eight pages (the size of the REVIEW page), circulated everywhere by our Tract and Missionary workers, at the low price of one dollar a year to the T. and M. societies only.
The conductors of the Signs have laid their plans to make this pioneer sheet for 1880 a power in the land. Live writers are engaged for the work. Elder Smith will give a series of articles under the significant heading, Synopsis of Present Truth. Elder White will occupy several pages of each number with sermons on Redemption through Christ, and other subjects of like importance. And besides her regular articles on Old Testament history, Mrs. White will furnish other matter in her usual forcible style.
There will be a special edition of the Signs of twelve pages, for old subscribers, who are generally members of our church on the Pacific coast. This will contain the eight pages of the pioneer sheet, with four pages of church matters, reports and appointments inserted, making twelve pages, which will contain nearly three hundred square inches more than the old size of eight pages. Price, invariably, $2.00 * a year.
It is not too late to procure and distribute the Health and Temperance Annual for 1880. There are small quantities of these Annuals in the hands of some of our T. and M. officers, and there are about ten thousand yet on hand at the office. These should all be distributed before the close of February. Let all who want Annuals order at once.

S. S. OFFICERS, PLEASE NOTICE
The pastor on your Instructors, and see if it is not time to renew your subscription. The Instructor is needed in your schools and homes during 1880 just as much as in 1879. Will you see that all renew at once? or will you allow the children to go without the paper two or three weeks, and thus lose several lessons?
It is the rule on all our papers to stop them as soon as the subscription expires, and we endeavor to notify every one in time to renew. Please be prompt. We dropped seven hundred names from our list this week, and a large number of clubs will be stopped soon, unless heard from at once.

COLLEGE RECORD FOR 1880.
In a few days the first number of Vol. 4 of this paper will appear. The Record will be a four-page monthly, as promised in the last number for 1879. The subscription price will be ten cents. Since the enlargement of the REVIEW, and the introduction of an educational department into its columns, the plans of the Record for 1880 have been somewhat modified. Instead of a subscription price of 25 cts., it is reduced to 10 cts. This is done, that it may be handled extensively by our tract societies, and be sent out frequently with the Signs. The number of pages, size of page, and matter, will be just the same as promised for 25 cts.
It is intended to make the circulation of the Record reach at least six to eight thousand. We trust every tract society will make an effort to send it out in connection with the Signs.
It is intended to make this paper the organ of Battle Creek College.
1. It will contain just such College information as will be desired by young men and women who are expecting to attend school away from their homes.
2. Just such College locals and personals will be given as will be of greatest interest to those who have formerly attended Battle Creek College.
3. The reading matter upon educational topics will be of such a character as to interest parents as well as young people in the subject of education. In short, there is nothing that will be a better advertising medium for our College, if it has a proper circulation.
Though the REVIEW will contain many things on the subject of education, it will not meet the demand for advertising our College. The Record can be sent into thousands of households where the REVIEW would not be acceptable; and even were the REVIEW to be introduced into as many families, it would not attract the attention and do the work of an advertising medium of our College nearly so effectually as the Record, which is devoted wholly to that purpose.
We trust all the friends of the educational enterprise will take hold of this work in earnest, and send the Record wherever our publications may find their way.
