—According to General MacArthur “the strife [in the Philippines] is likely to continue for several years to come, the Tagalos especially being irreconcilable.” It is also said that “the War Department is urging General MacArthur to adopt more drastic measures.” It is estimated by the United States Treasury Department that the war in the Philippines is costing about $112,000,000 annually.
—A London dispatch dated November 29, says: “The De Wets Dorp garrison of two guns of the Sixty-eighth Field Battery, with detachments of the Gloucestershire and Irish Rifles, 400 in all, surrendered at 5:30 P. M., November 23. Our losses were fifteen men killed and forty-two wounded, including Major Hansen and Captain Digby. The enemy [the Boers] is said to be 2,500 strong. Four hundred men were dispatched from Edenburg to relieve De Wets Dorp, but they did not succeed in reaching there in time.” This disaster has “sent a thrill of alarm through Great Britain.”
—Commenting upon the fact that in Belgium, and other nations of the European continent, penalties are imposed on those who, having the right to vote, do not avail themselves of it, the Union Signal says: “A similar law in the United States would probably have two effects: a large revenue would be raised; and the man who neglects his duty in this line, and then complains that municipal government is rotten to the core, would find himself silenced.” And the Union Signal is, doubtless, not the only paper that thinks it would be an excellent idea to copy after Belgium and other European nations in this respect. With such ideas prevailing, how long will it be until the United States will be as devoid of true personal liberty as are the continental nations whose example she is seeking to imitate so much of late years?

SHALL WE HELP?

We have been told that a whole army of missionaries should be trained for the Lord's work. When a worldly government is in trouble, there are many who are willing to volunteer to defend their country and carry forward its interests. The people of God are not to be behind the people of the world. We know that there will be a large number of earnest persons who will volunteer to enter this army of the Lord. Many are willing to give their time and ability, but they are not prepared to pay their expenses for the training. The churches have a responsibility in such cases, and the Lord has spoken plain words to them. The following are some of the instructions:—
“When we see a young man of promise, we should use our influence to get him into the college. If young men have not any money,—young men seldom if ever lay up money,—do not say, ‘Go and work a year, and then go into the college.’ No; but try to help them; present them before the churches; bear a decided testimony, and say, Brethren, we want you to help these individuals through college.’ And all the time you keep your eye on them, just as though you were their guardian.”
“The wealthy man or woman converted to God will begin to comprehend what good may be done with intrusted capital. They will see that institutions are established for the education of the youth, and that they are sustained by gifts and offerings. They will know that many youth must be trained for the missionary field, and the wealthy will become agents in the hands of God to set in operation the instrumentalities whereby men and women may become enlightened.”
“If there are some who can not give personal effort in missionary work, let them live economically, and give of their earnings. They can help pay the expenses of students who are fitting for missionary work. . . . The churches should feel it a privilege to defray their poor students’ expenses.”
“If there are those who should have the benefit of the school, but who can not pay full price for their tuition, let the churches in our Conferences show their liberality by helping them. This is an important subject, and calls, not for a narrow calculation, but for a thorough investigation. . . . Debts must not be allowed to accumulate. We must have help with which to carry on our schools. It will be so much better to make donations now to lessen the principal, thus lessening the interest to be paid.”
Many worthy persons have made application to enter school, who have not money to pay for their training. Are there not brethren and sisters among us who would esteem it a great privilege to follow out the plan that the Lord has given for such, that these students may be trained for the Master's cause? In this way those who can not do active work may share the blessings of those who are in the field. We trust that the churches where these students are will interest themselves at once in their cases, and see that they are given an opportunity to enter the school. And if you know of no one who wishes help, please send the money to us; we have many opportunities to help worthy persons through school. Address the president of Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich.

The Avondale Press.

By W. M. Crothers

The Third Angel's Message has probably in no other part of the world made more rapid progress or more successful conquests than in the countries of Australasia. Brought to these shores about fifteen years ago, and regarded by the people, when first introduced, as an invasion of the time-honored faith and customs of their forefathers and their country, it has steadily made its way against all opposition, until at present its sound has been heard and its fruits appear in almost every part of this vast field. Four Conferences have been organized; and other colonies, now worked as mission fields, will no doubt soon take up the responsibility and burden of their own work.
Every feature of the work is now well represented. A sanitarium was opened in Sydney a few years ago, the business of which has so rapidly increased as to make necessary, for the accommodation of its patients, a large, well-equipped building, which is now under process of construction. In Christchurch, New Zealand, another sanitarium has opened its doors to the suffering; while in South Australia and Queensland smaller institutions of the same kind are rapidly growing in public favor.
The Avondale school has just closed a successful year. Many improvements have been made to the property; and during the vacation the buildings will be considerably enlarged in order to accommodate the increasing number of students. These evidences of prosperity are encouraging, but that which is still more to be appreciated as a cause for thanksgiving is the assurance of the managers that every student in attendance during the year just closed has learned the knowledge of God.
In the circulation of books and other literature, this field, in proportion to the number of its inhabitants, holds first place. Canvassers for both religious and medical books continue to have excellent success in nearly all parts of the field, and we confidently believe that more books will be sold in the future than have been sold in the past, and that the fruits therefrom will be more abundant. Much attention has also been given to the publication and circulation of our periodicals, and with the best results, many of our members having received the light by this means.
Until recently the Echo Publishing Company was the only denominational printing plant in the colonies. But a few months ago word was received instructing us that a printing press should be run in connection with the school at Avondale, for the purpose of printing missionary literature, and at the same time training suitable persons in this most useful of arts.
Acting upon the instruction given, a small room was secured in the Health Food Company's factory, which was rudely fitted up with machinery, contributed by the Echo Publishing Company, our American publishing houses, and the Foreign Mission Board. Later a power press was purchased, and since its installation, the printing of the truth has been pushed vigorously forward. Several tracts in the Polynesian languages have already been published, and another is in the hands of the printer. Considerable job work has been done for our institutions, and for several months we have been printing the Union Conference Record, our church paper, and also the Herald of Health, a monthly medical journal, which ably advocates correct principles of health and temperance. This journal is rapidly growing in favor with the people, and its circulation is increasing. Our book canvassers find it almost excellent as a help, deriving their profits from a liberal commission allowed on yearly subscriptions.
In addition to the work already mentioned, the press has recently undertaken, on its own account, the publication of a monthly missionary paper called the Joyful Tidings. This paper is being supported by contributions from some of our institutions and from friends of the enterprise, and it will be distributed gratuitously in out-of-the-way places and among the sheep and cattle ranches, which, because of their inaccessibility, are not usually reached by ordinary means. At present, and probably for another twelve-months, newspapers, etc., printed in New South Wales, will be carried through the mails to any part of the colony free of cost; and by availing ourselves of this extraordinary privilege, we expect to send the joyful tidings of the Third Angel's Message to thousands who, if dependent upon a living messenger, might never hear its welcome sound. Contributions are solicited for the support of this work, and, whether large or small, will be gratefully received if addressed to the Avondale Press, or to the undersigned, Cooranbong, New South Wales, Australia.

THAT TRACT.

Before publishing the tract, “A Twofold Apostasy,” the manuscript was sent to Elder A. T. Jones. On returning it, he said: “Go ahead! Spread it everywhere!” Afterward the REVIEW commended the tract, and said that all who would spread the tract would assist in spreading the Third Angel’s Message. The writer’s hopes were raised in expectations that have been disappointed; for he hoped that our people everywhere would take part in circulating the tract. And when a professor in the State of Minnesota, after reading the tract, expressed the wish that a copy might be placed in every home in the land, the desire to so extend its circulation has increased.
Realizing that it would take an eternity to spread it everywhere at the present rate, and desiring to hasten the message to its glorious consummation, and knowing that the Lord gives the money to publish this edition, and that he can give money to publish another edition, the following offer is made:—
The tract is now dedicated to the Lord, through his people. It is the property of all who wish to assist in its circulation, without price, and will be sent to such on receipt of postage. So send what money you wish to spare, and the tract will be sent to your address. The postage is 16 cents for 100 copies. Address the publisher, H. F. Phelps, 3016 Garfield Ave. S., Minneapolis, Minn.

GENERAL CONFERENCE DISTRICT 3.

By A. J. Breed

The Illinois camp-meeting was held, according to appointment, in Electric Park, in Kankakee. The park is reached by the street cars, and is a pleasant place for a meeting of this kind, being well shaded, and offering quietness from the bustle and noise of the city. The meeting is said to have been the largest held in Illinois for several years. No pains was spared to make it pleasant for all who attended, especially the laborers from abroad, of whom were Elders Irwin, Haskell, and Johnson, Sister Haskell, Professor Salisbury, and the writer.
The business part of the meeting passed off pleasantly. One special feature of the work considered was the industrial school at Sheridan. Land had been procured, and work already begun on the grounds where the school is to be. At the time of the meeting it was hoped that the school would be ready to open by the first of October. Plans were laid accordingly, and the brethren manifested a deep interest by raising money to establish the school, and start it, free from debt.
The preaching was of such a nature as to awaken our people to a realization of the necessity of a more thorough consecration to the work of God, and raise the standard among us by more earnest work, both at home and abroad. The evening discourses were presentations of the fundamental principles of the Third Angel's Message, and were conducted, mostly, by Elder E. E. Franke, from New York, who had been laboring in Chicago.
The different interests of the work were looked after carefully, the brethren responding to each enterprise with that interest which generally characterizes the work at our large gatherings.
The Conference officers remain about the same as last year. Elder Kauble was re-elected to the office of president. The writer did not remain until the close of the meeting, being obliged to leave in order to reach the Michigan camp-meeting at its opening, so is not able to give all the particulars as to the amount of money raised, the number of subscriptions for “Christ's Object Lessons,” or the number baptized; but particulars were quite fully recorded in the Illinois Recorder, which gives, from time to time, information of much value to the workers and churches in the Conference.
The brethren and sisters returned to their homes with a more earnest desire than ever before to follow in the footsteps of Him who died for our salvation. If the desires expressed are met, we shall see much accomplished the following year.
A. J. BREED.

WANTED

The Battle Creek College printing office has need of type setters and pressmen. It prefers to give work to young persons who desire to take studies in the college. Here is an excellent opportunity to attend college, and at the same time learn a trade. If you are a practical workman, you can earn wages from the first; if you are learning the trade, you can deposit fifty dollars, and agree to work in the office until proficient.
“Let the study of books be combined with useful manual labor. . . . This will give you an all-round education.”
Let the young men, and the young women too, who wish to obtain an education in this way, at once address the president of Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich.

The Winter Term of the Battle Creek College.

It is not for the sole purpose of obtaining students that attention is called to our educational work. God places a heavy responsibility upon educational institutions, as he does upon men, and to-day is a time of special responsibility. To this fact God has called attention in these words: “There are in the providence of God particular periods when we must arise in response to the call of God, . . . fulfilling to the utmost of our ability the requirements of God. Just now let not the opportunity be lost.”
These words are from a letter dated October, 1900, which contains instruction to all our people concerning the debt on the schools, and the sale of the book, “Christ’s Object Lessons.” There are, then, opportune times for certain kinds of work, and this, now, is the opportune time for our educational institutions to make an advance move. It is the time not only for the schools to put forth an extra effort, but it is also time for the young people of the land to arise as never before.
The song of jubilee is soon to be sung. The men of Israel sang their song of jubilee when the day of atonement was past. Does it mean that the time of probation is about to end for us who to-day hear the call? Let the young people arise; for God calls, and angels are ready to co-operate with every soul who will prepare to enter this work.
“The schools will be found to be the way that God has chosen for the regeneration of the world,” wrote Horace Mann. “Do you ask why and where trained workers are needed?” Notice the various answers given in “Christ’s Object Lessons”: “The message is first to be given . . . to men who have an active part in the world’s work, to the teachers and leaders of the people. . . . Those who belong to the higher ranks of society are to be sought out with tender affection and brotherly regard.”
“There is a work to be done for the wealthy. . . . Those who stand high in the world, for their education, wealth, or calling, are seldom addressed personally in regard to the interests of the soul. Many Christian workers hesitate to approach these classes. But this should not be. . . . Many in high social positions are heart-sore and sick of vanity. They are longing for peace which they have not. Many would receive help if the Lord’s workers would approach them personally.”
Why should we educate workers?—Because there is a great work to be done for educated men and women. Now is the opportune time for such workers.
Again: from the pages of the same volume, we read: “The Lord desires us to obtain all the education possible, with the object in view of imparting our knowledge to others.” If, placed under the control of his Spirit, the more thoroughly the intellect is cultivated, the more effectively it can be used in the service of God.”
The Call.—“Let the youth who need an education go to work with a determination to obtain it. Do not wait for an opening: make one for yourselves. Take hold in any line of work that presents itself. Practice economy. . . . Be determined to become as useful and efficient as God calls you to be. Remember that whenever God calls us to do a work, with that call strength sufficient is promised. “Whatever is to be done at his command may be accomplished in his strength. All his biddings are enablings.”
Preparation Should Be Speedy.—“If our church-members were awake, they would multiply their resources; they would send men and women to our schools, not to go through a long course of study, but to learn quickly, and go out into the field. . . . Let workers enter the field without going through many preliminaries.”—“Special Testimonies on Education.”
Signs in the political world show conclusively that the time is short; signs in the educational world point unmistakably to the same fact. There is but little time left to work.
These are the reasons for calling your attention to the work of the Battle Creek College. During the winter term many young persons, and not a few married ones, should speedily prepare to enter the work. Such studies are offered as prepare students to enter the ministry and the canvassing work; to become teachers in our colleges, industrial schools, and church schools; to engage in English editorial work and proof-reading; also, preparatory work for the medical school; a thorough commercial course; and an excellent course in music.
For further particulars, send for calendar and the winter announcement. Address, President Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich.

Easy Steps in the Bible Story

By Adelaide Bee Cooper

BY Adelaide Bee Cooper,
INTRODUCTION BY
ELDER S. N. HASKELL,
Is one of the best books for children ever published. The author's long experience in writing for the young enables her to tell the Bible stories in such a clear, simple, yet forcible and captivating manner as to make lasting impressions upon the minds of the young.

WHAT OTHERS SAY OF THE BOOK.

God would have the story of creation; of the flood; of his servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; of Joseph and Moses; and the deliverance of the children of Israel,—of his wonderful dealings with mankind,—repeated in the language of the people. This is what “Easy Steps” does. It gives the story of what God says, and what he has done in his dealings with the children of men.
ELDER S. N. HASKELL.
I received my copy of “Easy Steps in the Bible Story.” I am delighted with it. The old, old story is so quaintly told that it is charming in the extreme. The children will like it, I am sure. The illustrations greatly add to the attractiveness of the book. It cannot fail to be of interest to whoever reads it. I hope it may find a place in every home.
MRS. L. FLORA PLUMMER.
The copy of “Easy Steps” was received several days ago. It is much appreciated. The real merits of the book will give it a wide circulation. We hope a large number may be circulated in our State.
MISSIONARY DEPARTMENT OF IOWA CONFERENCE, Jessie V. Bosworth, Sec.
I received and read with pleasure the book, “Easy Steps in the Bible Story.” It is well named. I believe that I am wiser and better for having read it. It is plain, pleasing, instructive, and artistically illustrated. It will sell readily, and will please the purchaser.
H. C. CARMICHAEL.
My copy of “Easy Steps” was received to-day, and I have nearly finished reading it. I am pleased with it. I believe it will be a great help to the young in the study of the Bible. I intend to use it as a help in my work. My wife also wishes to canvass for it. Will you please send another prospectus and cloth book by mail.
W. H. ZEIGLER.
The book contains 160 pages; table of contents; list of illustrations. Our artist has prepared 150 beautiful pen-drawings illustrating the book, and there are also many full-page illustrations. It is bound in two styles of binding:— Cloth.......................... 50 cents. Paper.......................... 25 cents.

I have taken sixty orders for “Best Stories” in five days. My brother, fourteen years old, has taken thirty-two orders. OLIVE B. HAGLE.
I have just received the prospectus to “Best Stories from the Best Book,” and can sound its loudest praise everywhere. My little girl said she could sell “that.” Well I think most anyone could sell it. R. H. THOMPSON.
I think it will be an excellent seller. W. L. MANFULL.
The prospectus came yesterday, and we all think it a little beauty. I see no reason why thousands of these little educators can not be sold in the next few weeks. C. D. WOLF.
