She was married to Brother Ball about twenty-five years ago, and soon after became a Seventh-day Adventist. She was a faithful follower of Christ, and accompanied her husband a great deal in his labors in New York and Pennsylvania, and was of inestimable assistance to him in his work of proclaiming the great gospel message for this generation. She leaves a husband, one daughter, and a child they had taken to bring up. The funeral was held in the Seventh-day Adventist church in Ellicottville, conducted by the writer, assisted by Elders F.

He was married to Miss Sarah Ellen Conklin, June 16, 1861, who proved to be a faithful and devoted wife and mother, until summoned to her final rest, April 15, 1897. To this union were born nine children, six of whom survive, and were present at the funeral service. Elder Wm. Lovell Iles, one of the sons, died in Arizona, June 7, 1898. The deceased was again married June 1, 1898, to Mrs. Martha Peters, who survives him. In 1885 he was invited by the Ohio Conference to use his gift in public speaking, and in 1887 he was ordained to the work of the ministry. He was a diligent student of the Bible, one of his favorite subjects being that of the sanctuary. The last two years of his life, however, were spent at his home in the country, near Chesterville. A large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors gathered at his late residence, July 2, to pay a closing tribute of respect to his memory. The funeral services were conducted by Elders D. E. Lindsey, A. G. Haughey, and H. H. Burkholder, and Prof. W. H. Wakeham. Elder Lindsey delivered the address, selecting Isa. 25:6-9 as a text. The music was furnished by a male quartet from the Mt. Vernon Academy. H. H. BURKHOLDER.

CORWIN.—Died at her home in Keene, Tex., July 6, 1901, of aortic insufficiency, Mrs. O. J. Corwin. In 1892, she, with her family, joined the Seventh-day Adventist church at Springside, Kan. She has lived a devoted Christian life, and was firm in the truth until the last. She was a true wife and a faithful mother. She leaves a husband and three children to feel their loss, but with the firm hope that she will soon be raised to share in the final triumph. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13-18. J. B. BLOSSER.

FORBES.—Died at Fernwood, N. Y., July 3, 1901, Rebecca M. Forbes, aged 77 years, 8 months, 3 days. Sister Forbes was in the great Advent movement under William Miller in 1844, and had ever since rejoiced in the coming of the Lord. About twenty-four years ago she, with her husband, began the observance of the Sabbath, and has since been a faithful member of the Pulaski church. The writer presented the hope of the righteous to a number of friends who gathered at the home of Brother and Sister Raymond. Text, Prov. 14:32. G. B. THOMPSON.

KELSEY.—Died at South Lancaster, Mass., June 21, 1901, of consumption of the blood, Edgar Kelsey, aged 45 years. Brother Kelsey was born in Brooklyn, N. Y. He had been connected with the Seventh-day Adventist Church for about eighteen years. For several years he had been editor and printer of the Gleaner. The quality of his work was always commendable. He was kind-hearted, conscientious, and best of all, a consistent Christian. The funeral was held in the South Lancaster church, June 23. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder M. D. Mattson. H. W. COTTRELL.

WYATT.—Thomas Wyatt was born Dec. 16, 1824, in South Bovey, Devonshire, England, and died on the morning of May 30, 1901, at his home in Eastmanville, Mich., aged 76 years, 5 months, 14 days. In his early manhood he chose a seafaring life, and for seven years or more was before the mast. He visited nearly all the great ports of the world. In 1853 he came to America, and made his home at Oswego, N. Y., still continuing his sailor life on the Great Lakes. Thirty-two years ago he espoused the Adventist faith, under the instruction of Elder I. D. Van Horn. Those who knew him best most appreciate his noble qualities. EUGENE LELAND.

PLUMB.—Died at Shelton, Neb., Nov. 30, 1900, of consumption, Brother Lorenzo Plumb, aged 53 years. Brother Plumb was converted in 1892, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Shelton, where he remained a faithful member till his death. The last two years of his life he seemed to take hold of the truth more earnestly than ever before, and to realize the shortness of time and the great work to be done. Although a man of moderate circumstances, he gave freely of his means to the cause he loved. He leaves a wife and three children. The funeral services were conducted by Prof. B. G. Wilkinson, of Union College. MRS. L. C. KITCHCART.

SCHELL.—Charles M. Schell died June 21, 1901. Many readers of the REVIEW AND HERALD in the western part of Michigan will recall the name of Charles M. Schell, who was an advocate of the teachings of the Third Angel’s Message. Brother Schell was born April 19, 1870, and lived the greater part of his life in the village of Sodus, Mich. Early in life he united with the Disciple Church, of which he remained a consistent member until about nine years ago, when increased light from the pages of Holy Writ dawned upon his pathway; and as it found him with an honest heart, he stepped forward, and ever kept pace with the great message of truth for this time. His peculiar traits of character as manifested in his daily life endeared him to many who were not in sympathy with his teachings. Brother Schell was a barber, and unlike the ordinary barber-shop, where all kinds of impure reading is found, he allowed only that which was well calculated to elevate the mind. The reading of the Bible and of religious papers of various kinds, and the discussion of sacred subjects, were encouraged. Brother Schell was one of those consistent Christians who carried a burden for souls. Evenings and other spare time were given to holding Bible readings, and the memory of his untiring efforts for the salvation of souls will long linger in the minds of those who are left behind. The high regard in which Brother Schell was held was indicated by the immense audience which assembled in the Disciple church on the funeral occasion. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn their loss. We laid him to rest June 22. Remarks were made by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:49. H. M. LAWSON.

Marvel of Nations

By Uriah Smith

THE work of which this is a republication and revision was first issued twenty-five years ago. Taking up the story of American progress since the nation's birth, all those elements which have entered into the life of our country to make it at the close of the nineteenth century a world power are considered. The manner of its rise and its nature politically are taken as evidences of its importance in prophecy, while the marvelous development of natural resources and the advance in the arts and sciences declare the character of the times in which we live.

By John Nevins Andrews

Every text of Scripture bearing upon the subject is thoroughly considered, the position of the Sabbath in both the old and new dispensations being clearly established. The account of the gradual change from the seventh to the first day of the week is an interesting feature, it being replete with testimonies from the fathers of the early church. 548 pages.

Testimony No. 34.

VOLUME 6.

THIS volume is full of timely matter for every Seventh-day Adventist. Special instruction is necessary for the work of proclaiming the message at this particular stage of its progress, and the contents of this book should be thoroughly studied by all, in order that the foundation principles governing this work may be familiar household topics of study and conversation. When this results, a fresh impetus will be given to our efforts. The contents of the seven sections into which the book is divided cover the entire range of our work, and are entitled as follows: “The Outlook,” “Evangelistic Work,” “Education,” “Medical Missionary Work,” “Canvassing,” “Cautions and Counsels,” and “Calls to Service.”

The REVIEW AND HERALD reports having sold over one thousand copies since its appearance about the middle of June, and it is hoped that this may be but the beginning of an effort on the part of every individual to become thoroughly versed in the principles underlying our work for these last days.

Proceeds of sales go to the relief of the Christiania Publishing House.

Count Tolstoi’s Excommunication

VERY few people in this country who have for their love of truth renounced the Church in which they were brought up, know what it is to stand against such opposition as that now faced by the Russian Count Tolstoi for his love of the truth. The edict of excommunication against him sent out by the orthodox Russian Church declares that he has “insolently rebelled against God and His Christ and all his inheritance, and has openly before the whole world forsworn the orthodox Church his mother, which nurtured him and brought him up,” etc. To this Count Tolstoi replies: “That I have abjured the Church which terms itself orthodox is quite true, but this I did, not because I rebelled against God, but on the contrary, because I wished to serve Him with all the powers of my soul.”

Since the fact of his excommunication became known, abusive and threatening letters have been pouring in upon the Count, from members of the orthodox company from which he has parted. One of these, a comparatively mild one, reads (in part): “Now you have been anathematized, and will after death go to eternal torment, and die like a dog. May you be anathema, you old devil! May you be damned!” Another loyal member of the State Church writes to him: “If the government will not get rid of you, we will ourselves force you to be silent.” “I can find means,” writes another, “to exterminate you, you blackguard!” Count Tolstoi’s offense consists in his renunciation of the superstition and idolatry of the Greek Church worship, and especially in his having denounced war as incompatible with Christianity.

From this we may gather some slight idea of what it means to stand up for the truth in Russia. Yet nowhere is the message of present truth spreading faster than in that country.

Correction of West Indian Mission Baptisms

BROTHER F. I. RICHARDSON sends us word from Jamaica that there were four hundred and seventy-three baptized and added to the number of believers in the West Indian Mission Field since the General Conference session of 1899, instead of only one hundred and nine, as reported in the Conference Bulletin last April. We are glad to make this correction.

China’s Libraries Lost to War

As showing one way in which China has been made poorer by her conflict with the Powers, it may be mentioned that the magnificent Chinese library at Peking, consisting of several million manuscripts, was totally destroyed by fire, while the Chinese library at Mukden, the old Manchu capital, was carried away by the Russians to St. Petersburg. This library filled two railroad vans to their utmost capacity.

A New Century Church Trust

Rev. Francis E. Clark, president of the Christian Endeavor Society, declares that what this country and the world needs is “a new century church trust,” a combination which will serve as “a religious clearing house.” “Why will not Francis E. Clark,” inquires the Independent, “make himself a missionary of this cause?” It would not be surprising if the energies of the Christian Endeavor movement were to be largely turned in this direction.

"The Story of Daniel the Prophet."

THIS book, by Elder S. N. Haskell, is now ready. It is printed on good paper, with large clear type, and is handsomely bound in half cloth. It contains 295 pages, with side texts in margin, to which there is an index, besides a full general index of nineteen two-column pages. It makes an exceedingly handsome book, with pleasing and attractive page. It will be productive of much good. Every reader will be toned up by it to stand fast in Daniel’s integrity and steadfastness, and encouraged to trust in that Providence that presides over the sparrow’s fall at the same time that it controls and decides the progress and destiny of nations.

The Summer School at Berrien Springs.

By Arthur G. Daniells

FOR ten days, beginning July 10, we have had a most profitable time at the Berrien Springs Educational Conference. From an early hour in the morning until late at night, we have been deeply absorbed in the study of the principles and methods underlying the successful management of evangelical and educational work. Besides a large number of teachers, there were present about twenty-five representatives from the various States of the Lake Union Conference. Our councils were pleasant, harmonious, and profitable. A full report of the Lake Union Conference proceedings will appear in next week's REVIEW.

During the conference it was made very apparent to all present that the church and conference school work has only begun. It is developing rapidly. Earnest calls are coming from all directions for teachers. This department of our work is soon to become one of the largest and most important departments of the cause. A great, broad system of Christian education and school management must be developed. Educational conferences and summer schools are especially designed to assist in developing such a system.

The ten-days' conference has closed, but the summer school has just begun, and will continue until September 3. Now if there are either church- or public-school teachers among our people who have not gone to the school at Berrien Springs, and who can go, I earnestly advise such to take advantage of the present opportunities to obtain a better preparation for this grand work. Remember that tuition and tent rent are free. Board, $1.75 a week. Announcements giving full information can be obtained by writing to Prof. E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich. A. G. DANIELLS.

Missouri. Camp-Meeting Postponed.

By J. M. Rees; R. C. Porter; A. P. Heacock

IN traveling over the State we see for ourselves the great distress which has come to the people on account of the drought that now almost covers our State. In many places pastures are burned up, hay and oat crops destroyed, streams drying up, and springs giving out, so that it is difficult to find feed and water for the stock. The heat also is so great that people are in danger if exposed to the sun’s rays. Further, on account of the drought, provisions are scarce, and consequently very high.

As these difficulties will keep most of our people at home, your Conference Committee, after meeting and counseling, have fully decided to postpone the Boonville camp-meeting to a later date in the autumn. We are sorry this seems to be necessary, but after much thought and prayer the Conference and camp-meeting which was to be held at Boonville, August 1–12, is hereby postponed to a date which will be given later.

While this condition of things necessitates the withdrawal of the camp-meeting appointment, it gives increased opportunity to carry the message to the people in their homes by canvassers, Bible workers, and ministers. J. M. REES, R. C. PORTER, A. P. HEACOCK, Committee.
