The work is progressing in this field, and the workers are of good courage. It was my privilege to spend three weeks with the brethren at Guadalajara in August. During this time plans were laid for the work there, and meetings were held frequently. The medical work is constantly growing and becoming more widely known. The sanitarium has had its best year financially in the year just past. In harmony with the plans laid at Battle Creek last spring the mission has been turned over to the sanitarium. The work of the mission is growing, its reputation having extended to distant towns, so that now a large number of the persons treated come from outside of Guadalajara.
We have arranged for systematic evangelical work with the Mexican help employed at the sanitarium, and hope to see fruit from this effort.
Brother Placencia has recently visited the Mexican minister of whom I spoke in a former report, finding him still keeping the Sabbath and studying the truth. He bought “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,” and expressed himself as deeply interested in all the points of the message as he understands them.
Brother Bodwell is having an interesting experience at San Luis Potosi, where he has two small congregations of interested people to whom he speaks each Sunday. He also has a minister of another denomination studying with him, of whom he speaks highly. These experiences show that there are honest souls in this country who will listen to the truth when it is brought to them. Brother Hartman is still pushing his colporteur work at Toluca with quite good success.
We are laying plans for the establishment of a small printing plant here in Mexico City, so that we can do our own work, and thus save expense and vexatious delays. Already we have raised eight hundred Mexican dollars for this enterprise, and hope to secure as much more from others in the republic.
As we intend to start this work without debt, we will go only so fast as we get money. Should any persons who see this be interested in our work, and wish to help with their means, I will be pleased to correspond with them. . . . We feel that the work is rising in Mexico, for which we praise God and take courage. Pray for us and for the work.

Missionary Work in Mexico
By A. G. Bodwell
AFTER our council meeting last winter, at which Elders Daniells and Knox were present, I went to Guadalajara, where, after holding a few meetings, a Young People's Society was organized, and plans were laid for active missionary work. While there, I also spent some time in canvassing and in helping Brother Welch to get started in the canvassing work.
Leaving Guadalajara, Brother Placencia, one of our young Mexican laborers, accompanied me on a canvassing tour down the Zapotlan branch, as far as God Stoyac. We spent a little over a week here in giving Bible readings to a young Methodist minister. He accepted all points of our faith, and arrangements were made for us to return about two or three weeks later, and baptize him. But our plans were changed on account of unavoidable circumstances, so that we were unable to visit that place again.
However, I am still in correspondence with the young man, and he is studying the truth, and preaching it to his congregation. In his last letter he says that some of his followers are accepting the truth, and that others are rejecting it. Of all the Mexican Protestants that I have seen he seems to be the most consecrated. He has certainly had a remarkable experience.
We returned by way of Guadalajara, and made a trip through the State of Michoacan, canvassing all the towns of any importance through which we passed. The people of this State are more fanatical than those in other States of the republic, but the Lord blessed us in a remarkable way, and we were able to take a goodly number of subscriptions for our paper.
When we reached Acambaro, Brother Placencia went to his home in Guadalajara, and I started for Mexico City, intending to canvass the towns on the road; but I had hardly finished the first town when I was taken sick, and had to go directly home. The last month of the trip was the best for me. During this month I secured two hundred and sixty paid subscriptions for our paper, besides selling quite a number of books.
I remained at home over two months. When I was able I spent a good portion of my time in canvassing or in giving Bible readings. Some days I felt tolerably well, but other days I had to go to bed.
About the middle of last month I left home again in company with Brother Hartman. We stopped in Toluca, where I spent a few days in getting him started in the work. I then came to San Luis Potosi Edo. S. L. P., where I have been quite busy.
The third Sabbath before leaving home was a good day for our little church in Mixcoac. Two Americans, Brother and Sister Blachly, were received into the church. Brother Blachly is a colporteur for the American Bible Society. He began keeping the Sabbath as a result of Brother Cooper's labors with him. It was with him that I made the trip to Chiapas. His wife was very much opposed to the truth, but finally the Lord opened the way for me to give her Bible readings, and after she had studied point by point carefully, she too decided in favor of the truth. Next to the last Sabbath that I was at home I had the privilege of baptizing Brother Nelson, a young Scandinavian to whom I had been giving Bible readings.
As I look over my work for this year, the visible results seem very small, but this is a difficult field, and will require steady patient labor. I realize that all I can do is to sow the seed, and that to God belongs the work of giving the increase.

Superior Mission Field
By Daniel T. Bourdeau
DURING a considerable portion of the time since the close of the Menominee (Mich.) camp-meeting, I have, in connection with Elders H. R. Johnson, E. R. Williams, and M. W. Lewis, taken part in a tent effort at Menominee. As a part of the result of this effort, five French adults—all but one parents of a goodly number of children—have begun walking in the way of present truth; two other persons of the French tongue are planning to do the same. I leave it for others to report what the Lord has done for other nationalities through this encouraging effort.
I never felt more deeply convinced that the time has fully come for the loud cry of the third angel's message than I felt at Menominee while the three messages were being presented. Surely, God sets forth in the three messages of Revelation 14 the general plan we should follow in proclaiming the truths for these times. If we follow this plan, God will bless our efforts; if we depart from it in catering to the popular ways of preaching, and present the Sabbath largely disconnected from the threefold message of Revelation 14, our efforts will fail to produce the results in souls soundly converted to God, that they would if we regarded the divine plan that was so long ago delineated in the prophetic Word for us to scrupulously follow.
While the tent meetings at Menominee were being carried on by fellow laborers, I twice visited the French church at Wilson, made a halt at Talbot, and spent one Sabbath with the church of Stephenson, which is largely made up of French members. The first time I visited the Wilson church, I was accompanied by Elder Lewis. The church was quite thoroughly instructed on the nature and importance of true missionary work, and was supplied with a good assortment of French literature; and it was unanimously voted that following the Sabbath-school the third Sabbath of each month, the hour of the social meeting should be devoted especially to the relation of interesting experiences in missionary work.
The second time I visited the Wilson church I was accompanied by Mrs. Bourdeau. We visited every family of the18church, labored for backsliders, and had the best meetings that we have ever attended at Wilson. It was indeed a pentecostal season. It was the third Sabbath of the month, and already blessed results could be seen from doing missionary work. Here Mrs. Bourdeau gave practical instructions in the culinary art, especially on the right combination of foods. It was shown that many were sick because they failed to give attention to this essential feature of health reform. The instructions and drill given were timely, and were greatly appreciated here and at other points.
At Talbot and at Stephenson I was also accompanied by Mrs. Bourdeau. At Talbot we spent the principal part of two days at the hospitable home of Brother and Sister Joseph Rubens. Here, while taking needed rest, we were deeply impressed with the propriety of utilizing Brother Ruben's teaching gift, either in connection with church-school work or in doing evangelistic work in the French field. In view of the fact that there are very few French workers in this country, we sincerely hope that this dear brother will ere long carry out a growing conviction in him and in others that he should engage in church-school or evangelistic work, or in both.
At Stephenson we had a precious and profitable season with some who have long been in the truth. Here, as well as at Wilson, we were encouraged in seeing some of our French believers moved upon by God's Spirit to settle in new French fields in the North Michigan Peninsula, to do missionary work and prepare the way for the living preacher. This is as God would have it, and is a most encouraging feature of the French cause in these parts.

Thirteen Begin Keeping the Sabbath
By R. J. Bellows; F. J. Harris
ENSIGN.—As the result of meetings, which we have been holding at this place for the past few weeks, thirteen adults have begun to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. Our first meeting was held in the schoolhouse on the evening of July 29. The whole community became interested. Quite a number came from two to three miles every night over roads that seemed to us almost impassable in the daytime. These are all rejoicing in the truth, and are thankful that we came to give them the light.
On account of the condition of the roads, some of the women could not attend the evening meetings, so on Sunday we went into the woods where they lived, and spent nearly the whole of the day with them, giving them studies on the subjects treated upon during the week at the schoolhouse in the village. August 16, while in one of these meetings, we certainly received droppings of the latter rain. We were presenting the sanctuary, the twenty-three hundred days, and the investigative judgment to a houseful of neighbors who had come in; the Holy Spirit rested upon us, and there was a general breaking-up,—old and young wept as though their hearts would break,—and when we gave opportunity for an expression on the part of those who desired our prayers, the first to raise his hand was a man eighty-five years old, who had never been converted. In the prayer service that followed, we were most wonderfully blessed. About six began at this meeting to serve the Lord and to keep his Sabbath.
One lady, who is about fifty years old, and who has been a school-teacher most of her life, was here for a few days, visiting her mother. She became so much interested that she stayed two or three weeks longer than she had intended to when she came. She has now gone home, but she began keeping the Sabbath before she left. Another lady, who had just finished a State normal course in Lower Michigan, was also visiting here, but could attend only one meeting, and a Bible reading, which she especially requested us to give her before she went away. She was much interested, in fact, we have never seen any one so enthusiastic over the truth as she was, and her mother was equally interested. She took a copy of “Daniel and the Revelation” away with her; and as she was leaving for the State of Washington, she asked her father to tell us that though she was not one of us then, she did not know how soon she might be.
On Sabbath, August 22, we organized a Sabbath-school of twenty-two members, and we have good reasons for believing that it will be larger, as some of our new Sabbath-keepers were not present. Surely the Lord deserves praise for the manner in which he has shown his willingness to work with poor, unworthy human instruments in carrying this precious truth to those who sit in darkness. The way the Lord has blessed us ever since we began our work here has continually impressed the thought upon our minds that we have reached the time for the message to go with a loud cry.
This is a destitute field, much in need not only of workers, but of Adventists to come here and hold up the truth before those who have never heard it. We are only a handful of workers, trying our best to get the truth before the people, but we are altogether too few in number to do it. Right here land that is easily cleared can be bought for from $2.50 to $5 an acre, and more productive soil can not be found anywhere in Michigan. We have remarked many times that if some of our people would come here from places where they are not needed, it would be a blessing to them, and they would be helping to give the truth to souls who are hungry, and have no meat. We pray that God will put it into some one's heart to improve this unusual opportunity. R. J. BELLOWS, F. J. HARRIS.
Local Camp-Meeting in Oregon
By F. M. Burg
THE camp-meeting in Coos County (Ore.) this year will be looked back to by the people of God in that part of the conference as one of the brightest spots along their journey toward the kingdom.
There were but a few of our people in Coos County who did not attend the meeting this year. All came early to the ground, and preparations for the meeting were so nearly completed that the opening was characterized by that quiet in the camp which we are sure is pleasing to him who would have us do all things “decently and in order.” There were about fifteen family tents on the ground, and about seventy-five campers. Prof. C. C. Lewis, of Walla Walla College, was present, and helped through the first ten days of the meeting. Dr. W. R. Simmons was on the ground and rendered valuable help for two or three days.
From the start, the interest was good, and the attendance increased till the close. Indeed, the interest was such at the close of the first ten days that it was unanimously agreed to continue the meeting another week. This was done, nearly all the campers remaining, and we are sure a most profitable week was spent. Fewer meetings were held during the day, so that the brethren and sisters could join us in visiting the people of the town. A good work was done in this way, both for the community and for our people. It was truly good to see old and young so filled with the spirit of work. Many profitable visits with interested persons were reported at the meetings held at 8 A. M. Tracts and papers were distributed, books sold, and we are sure that seeds of truth were sown that will bear fruit. At the end of the seventeen days the interest was better than at any time during the meeting; so a meeting of the campers was held after the last evening service, and it was decided to send word to Elder Black to come at once to follow up the interest in Myrtle Point, and to make Coos County his field of work for the remainder of the year.
Sabbath, August 8, was a day of richest blessing to the camp. A good meeting was held in the forenoon, in which the blessing of the Lord was felt by young and old. Hearts were melted in sorrow for sin and gratitude for pardoning love. The converting power of God came in a special measure upon the young, and such a forward move was seen among them as was truly a cause for rejoicing throughout the camp. At 2 P. M. the entire camp and many from the town gathered on the bank of the beautiful Coquille River to witness the baptism of twenty-one whose hearts had been opened to let the Saviour come in to live with them. The Lord was present in a special manner on this occasion, and witnessed to the yielding of heart and life to him. We then returned to the camp, and engaged in the celebration of the ordinances of the Lord’s house,—a meeting that was a fitting complement to the work that had preceded it.
Thus the camp-meeting in Myrtle Point has closed, and the people of God in Coos County, encouraged by the tokens of divine favor, and by the evidences in the message itself that this great work is going to triumph gloriously in a little time from this, have entered upon another year’s work in the interests of the grandest work that has been given to men to perform.
The week following the close of the camp-meeting at Myrtle Point was spent at Coquille, where we held meetings in14the new house of worship that has been built in that place. The series closed on Sunday afternoon with the dedication of this neat and commodious house, which has been built and paid for at considerable sacrifice to the members of the church and others of like faith in that section, and which is surely an honor to the cause for which it stands. May the experience suggested by the following beautiful lines, which were sung at the dedication service, be fully realized:—
“To thee this temple we devote,
Our Father and our God;
Accept it thine, and seal it now
Thy Spirit’s blest abode.
“Here may the prayer of faith ascend,
The voice of praise arise;
And may each lowly service prove
Accepted sacrifice.
“Here may the sinner learn his guilt,
And weep before his Lord;
Here, pardoned, sing a Saviour’s love,
And here his vows record.
“Peace be within these sacred walls;
Prosperity be here;
O smile upon thy people, Lord,
And evermore be near.”
After spending a day with Elder Black and his wife at Myrtle Point, helping them to get settled and to get acquainted with the condition of the field, I started on my return trip to Portland, stopping two days at Roseburg, where I had the privilege of helping on the new church, which is well under way. It will be a good building when finished.
I visited the Royal and Eugene churches on my way north. Am glad to be at home for a few days again, and to give my attention for a short time to matters here at headquarters.
Let us labor so that the day of his coming may be hastened.

The Work in the South
By Smith Sharp
The readers of the REVIEW are all interested in the progress of the work in this Southern field. While I am not in position properly to represent all branches of the work in all parts of this great field, yet there are some things with which I am conversant that I think will be of interest to all. So much has been said by the spirit of prophecy about the destitution of this field, and our people have been so frequently solicited for means with which to establish the work here, that any information concerning the situation in this respect will, I believe, be appreciated by all. It has indeed been a great undertaking to establish the work on a scale commensurate with its importance, in a field with so small a constituency, where there are so very few in possession of more than the bare comforts of life.
The publishing house, of considerable dimensions, has been established at Nashville, Tenn. A training school for white workers is conducted at Graysville, Tenn., and one for colored workers at Huntsville, Ala.; a sanitarium is in progress of erection at Graysville, Tenn., and the building formerly owned by the Review and Herald, at 243 South Boulevard, Atlanta, Ga., has been purchased for treatment rooms, or sanitarium purposes. Besides this the conference owns a Good Health Bakery, at Chattanooga, Tenn., and a residence property worth about three thousand dollars. I am not in position to give any intelligent opinion concerning the value and condition of the publishing house. I think a safe, conservative estimate of the rest of the property owned by the Southern Union Conference is forty thousand or fifty thousand dollars.
When the great debt was apportioned to the different union conferences, ten thousand was given to the Southern Union Conference. Through the sale of ‘Christ’s Object Lessons’ we have been enabled to reduce this at least three thousand dollars. In consequence of having to borrow money in order to secure the Atlanta property, and to keep the work going on the Graysville Sanitarium, we have incurred a slight debt, but I think the entire debt on the Southern Union Conference will not aggregate over fourteen thousand dollars. A considerable amount of this was loaned us without interest, to facilitate work on the sanitarium at Graysville, and to secure the Atlanta property. However, we have about two thousand dollars in outstanding pledges, which will reduce this indebtedness to a sum not to exceed twelve thousand dollars, perhaps less. This will not be considered a bad showing even for a field where there is as small a constituency as there is here. We hope by perseverance and close application and the liberality of our people everywhere, in a comparatively short time to be able to liquidate our entire indebtedness. The institutions that we have are wholly inadequate for properly carrying on the work in this great field, where there are fifteen million inhabitants.
Some branches of the work can never be made self-supporting. One of these is the work for colored people. The education of colored workers, and the giving of the message to the colored race, will ever be a privilege that all our people everywhere can have a part in. It is for this purpose that the school at Huntsville is established. Its facilities sadly need increasing, and when this is done, our people everywhere can expect to continue to be permitted to share in the work for this neglected and oppressed race. In the near future an active campaign will be inaugurated for this purpose. Just what the policy will be, will be defined later by those having the work especially in charge. There is an indebtedness of one thousand five hundred dollars on the Atlanta property, which must be met before the first of January next. Besides this a few hundred dollars is badly needed to equip the property, and as soon as this is done patients can be received in sufficient numbers to bring in a good income. The Graysville sanitarium is still in an incomplete condition, and it will be necessary to raise several hundred dollars in the near future. We are making most persistent and determined efforts to secure the needed amounts. This institution is certainly needed, if ever there was an institution needed among our people. It is indorsed by the plainest statements by the spirit of prophecy, by the General Conference, and by the Southern Union Conference. There is no institution like it south of the Ohio River. Brethren, is it not right that our people everywhere should rally to the aid of this much-needed institution, and help us push this work to completion?
The Southern Training School, at Graysville, Tenn., is, we believe, second to none in our denomination. Without it our work in this field would be sadly crippled. Experience, as well as the Testimonies, has taught us that workers for this field should be educated in the field. We have no institution that we can spare. In fact, we need many more, especially small schools and sanitariums. It is our policy not to concentrate our institutions in any one place, but to build small ones in many different places. At present Nashville, Graysville and Huntsville are, in a sense, centers, but in the near future we ought to have many more.
We have given this frank statement so that all our people everywhere may know our true condition. For any branch of the work in this field money may be sent at any time to the Southern Conference Association, at Graysville, Tenn., with the assurance that it will be faithfully and conscientiously appropriated to the purpose for which it is donated.

North Michigan Camp-Meeting
By William Covert
The North Michigan camp-meeting and annual conference were held at Mancelona, Mich., August 27 to September 6. All the conference workers, Elder Richardson, and the writer were present. Elder A. G. Haughey was with us one day. There were from two to three hundred people in attendance. This was the first annual gathering of the North Michigan Conference, as that conference was organized only one year ago.
In many respects the meeting was a very good one. No excitement was manifested at any time, but in its stead there was a deep moving of the Spirit of God upon the hearts of the people, which brought light and courage to all in the camp. The first special revival effort was made at the sunset meeting with the coming in of the last Sabbath during the convocation. Then a short talk was given relative to the Sabbath question, in which the people were asked to consider what the Sabbath is to God's people, and how it is made a special factor in the third angel's message. This was given us as a topic for the social meeting, and the Lord blessed. At the close of this meeting many came forward for prayers. A number of these were making their first start in the Christian life.
The next day (Sabbath) the sermon of the forenoon was upon the subject of baptism. When the sermon concluded, the invitation was given for those who desired baptism to come forward, and although15it was not previously known that more than seven were to be baptized, forty-three came forward. These confessed Christ, and desired to be baptized in his name. One or two persons had been baptized at an earlier date in the meeting, so forty-four or forty-five persons received the divine ordinance during the camp-meeting. This was very remarkable considering the small number of people in camp.
By request of the conference, an appeal was made for cash and pledges to form a financial basis for the tract society, as the conference is new, and no appeal of this character had previously been made. In response to this call, $1,130 was secured. Three hundred dollars' worth of books was sold upon the ground from the book-stand. Four new churches were received into the conference. One brother was ordained to the ministry.
The workers in this new conference enjoy the confidence of their fellow laborers, and we can confidently hope for good results to follow their work. We shall look for a large increase in the membership of this conference during the year to come, especially so since most of the labor is to be bestowed in new fields. The workers return to their labors full of courage.

Vermont
By J. W. Watt
At our recent camp-meeting it was decided that an effort be made to start the health work in some of our cities in Vermont. Burlington has been selected as the place to begin operations. We hope to open treatment rooms and a vegetarian restaurant this fall. We shall need not less than five hundred dollars for this purpose. As we have adopted the cash basis, we shall not feel free to start this work until the five hundred dollars are provided by cash pledges.
When money is needed for such purposes, the only way to obtain it is by appealing to the brethren. Now, brethren of Vermont, if you are interested in this work, and feel free to assist us we can go forward with this enterprise. If not, we can not go forward with it. We appreciate the fact that calls for means are numerous, and that our brethren throughout this State have responded nobly to the calls made heretofore, especially during the past year. But we must not be satisfied with what we have done; we must go forward, ever reaching out to save perishing souls for whom Christ died. We hope that this aggressive work in Burlington will result in the salvation of many souls.
For a number of years very little has been done to reach the people of this, the largest city in Vermont. Shall we not make this effort, trusting that God will bless the same? The work will be under the management of the conference, and the workers will be in the employ of the conference. We need not only your means, but we need your prayers. Send all donations for this purpose to F. M. Dane, 190 N. Winooski Avenue, Burlington, Vt.
J. W. WATT, President.

The Review Resumes Its Former Appearance
By Editor
We are glad to be able to announce that our linotype has now been set up in our office, and other necessary machinery secured, so that we shall hereafter do all the work on our papers with the exception of the press work. The next issue of the REVIEW will therefore have twenty-four pages, and otherwise resume its former appearance. We thank our readers heartily for accepting the reduced number of pages for so long a time without complaint, and assure them that we will do our best to make the paper a means of help and blessing. In this connection we desire to express our appreciation of the response made by a goodly number of our brethren and sisters to the suggestion that each one should send in at least one new subscriber to add to our list. One sister sent the pay for a yearly subscription without forwarding any name, and this enabled us to send the paper for four months to three persons who would otherwise have been deprived of it. Others have sent in several new names. We hope many others will still act upon our suggestion.
