The Great Nations of To-Day

BY ALONZO T. JONES

THE author in this volume treats the Great Nations of To-Day from a prophetical and historical standpoint, which can not fail to arrest the attention and demand the careful consideration of every candid thinker. He also portrays the results of the great world Powers congregating their armies in the Orient. The following are a few of the many subjects considered in the volume; they are of the utmost importance to all:—

The Moral Condition of the Roman Empire,

The Modern Nations of Western Europe,

The Eastern Question — Sounding of the Seventh Trumpet — The Third Woe,

The Threefold Message: What Is It as to Babylon and the Daughters?

The Exaltation of Lawlessness,

“The Hour of His Judgment Is Come.”

The book contains 257 pages; 23 chapters; nine full-page illustrations; one five-color map, and five maps showing the territory covered by the various world Powers. All the maps and illustrations were made expressly for this publication. The author cites more than 25 different historical authorities.

Powers Dispute Russia's Manchurian Occupation in China

By Editor

IN China the negotiations of the Powers as to indemnities, punishments, etc., have been caused to fall into the background by the jealousy of Russia in Manchuria. And yet Russia insists that all that she is doing is for the “pacification thereof,” and to “insure a stable government;” and cites her own assurance, made about the time that the latest assurance of the United States was made to Cuba, that she has no intention to take permanent possession, but to withdraw as soon as the “pacification thereof” and “stable government” are secured.

THAT article on “Divine Healing,” page 4 of this paper, is such vital truth that we hope each reader of it, as he reads, will pray that by His Holy Spirit of burning its principles may be indelibly branded upon his heart and life. And the articles yet to come on that vital subject are just as good. Therefore please do not forgetfully let your subscription expire, and so lose them.

REDUCED RATES TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE

By L. A. Hoopes

In addition to the notice published in the REVIEW of March 12, we have to say that we have had word from the Central Passenger Association that the rate of one fare for the round trip has been granted, in compliance with the rate made by the Michigan Passenger Association. We expected the Western Association would report in time to have definite notice inserted in this REVIEW. It is thought that the Western Passenger Association will concur in the rate; but no definite word has been received from the secretary, although several of the leading lines have expressed themselves as favorable.

In the Michigan, the Central, and the Western Passenger associations (the territory of which extends from Denver to Buffalo and Ohio River points) ironclad signature tickets to Battle Creek will be on sale on any of the days between March 31 and April 3, inclusive, at one fare for the round trip, good to return on or before April 25.

If there is a total of one hundred persons from the Southeastern Passenger Association (the territory south of the Ohio River) who secure the standard form of certificate for each ticket purchased, at full fare, over the several roads on which they come, and present these to me at this place for signature, they will be allowed to return at one-third fare; tickets to be purchased on the dates already mentioned.

Russia's Growing Hold on Manchuria

New Pamphlet The Great Nations of To-day Announced

By Editor

THE very last thing before going to press, was the laying on our table of the new pamphlet, “The Great Nations of To-day,” that is advertised on the previous page. It gives the origin and the place in prophecy of the great nations of to-day. Further notice must be deferred to next week.

Marshaling of the Nations and Great Nations of Today

A SPEAKER in the German Parliament last Friday said: “The most serious developments in China have yet to come;” and, “What has begun in the East must one day be settled with arms in the West.” Are you studying that mighty Eastern question, so as to be intelligent on the daily developments? Read “The Marshaling of the Nations,” and “The Great Nations of To-day.”

Armed Forces Face to Face in China

By Editor

THE latest dispatches as we go to press show armed forces of Britain and Russia face to face in China, waiting orders; and thus international war in the Orient is imminent. “The Marshalling of the Nations” is present truth to all people. So also is “The Great Nations of To-day,” advertised on the preceding page. Read up, read up, and be ready for what is coming.

WHILE the Tabernacle has been undergoing a thorough renovation, the church has been meeting, according to districts, at the College and Review and Herald chapels, and at the Sanitarium gymnasium. The Sunday evening meetings have been discontinued. Elder A. G. Daniells spoke last Friday evening at the College, and Elder F. H. Westphal spoke there on Sabbath.

A few of the delegates have already arrived.

TWO WEEKS FROM TO-DAY

By Editor

in the study of the Keeping of the Commandments, we expect to begin the study of the Second Commandment. Among other things, in the study of this commandment, it will be shown how image-worship was established in the Catholic Church. You can not afford to let your subscription expire now, lest you should miss these important studies. If you can not send a full year's subscription, send what you can, and it will be all right. Twenty-five cents will take the paper to you for two whole months.

GENERAL CONFERENCE DELEGATES AND VISITORS

By J. W. Collie

A RECEPTION-ROOM has been fitted up in the west building of the Review and Herald, and delegates and visitors will please report at this place for assignment. Trains will be met by proper individuals, March 31 and April 1 and 2. It will be well to bring your checks to the Office, as arrangements have been made for one of our brethren to transport the baggage.

The committee have been enabled thus far to make provision for all who have written; and if such do not receive a reply, they may know that arrangements have been made for them.

We would suggest that it will be well for those who have not already written, to plan to bring ticks and bedding, and be ready to care for themselves. We can not furnish rooms for light housekeeping. Board can be obtained at reasonable rates.
