FOR A PERPETUAL COVENANT
Earlier text: THE MEDITERRANEAN FIELD

DEDICATION

By WM. COVERT

MAY 6 is appointed for the dedication of Woodland school building. A large representation of our people at this dedication is desired. Many have assisted in building this institution, and their presence would be much appreciated at the time of its formal presentation to the Lord. Those coming by rail will do well to arrive either at Marshfield or Pittsville on Friday, May 4, in time to reach the school before the Sabbath. Those intending to come should write to Prof. J. E. Tenney or to C. H. Mikkelsen, at Arpin, if they wish conveyance from the station, and arrangements will be made for their accommodation. All the neighbors, as well as the school management, will do what they can to care for visitors, and to make the occasion one of profit. WM. COVERT.

AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

Doubtless most of the readers of the Review are not aware of the fact that the Sanitarium Medical Missionary Training School has a correspondence department connected with it, and each week sends out lessons to a class of students who are not able to leave their homes and other duties in order to take a regular course at one of our sanitariums.
This work has been carried on about one year with encouraging results. We expect to organize a new class in April, and would like to hear at once from those who desire to avail themselves of this opportunity. The tuition fee is three dollars, which barely covers the actual cost of sending out the lessons, and correcting the answers sent in by the students. The books required for this work are furnished at actual cost price. This gives an excellent opportunity for any one who desires to become intelligent in regard to caring for the sick.
A descriptive circular, giving full particulars of the course, will be furnished on application. Address Correspondence Department, Medical Missionary Training School, Battle Creek, Mich.

INSTRUCTION FOR CANVASSERS, IN SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY.

By H. W. Cottrell; Frederick Griggs

A COURSE of instruction for those who desire to canvass for our denominational books will be offered by South Lancaster Academy this spring. The course is to be conducted by Brother George A. King, who has for years been engaged in this work, and is thoroughly qualified to take up the work in a very profitable way. This course of instruction lasts four weeks, from May 8 to June 5. There are no charges for tuition. Board and room, however, will cost about fifteen dollars for the entire course. This is an admirable opportunity for those who desire to canvass during the summer, as there has not been for years a better time for the canvassing work than the present, owing to the feeling of prosperity existing in the country. Every Conference in District 1 should be thoroughly awake, and should at once send to the school a large number of those who wish to take up this work, in order that they may receive instruction that will assist them in getting our literature before the people. H. W. COTTRELL, FREDERICK GRIGGS.

Have Passed the Experimental Stage.

SOUTH DAKOTA COLPORTEUR WAGON.
SOUTH DAKOTA COLPORTEUR WAGON.
That wagons can be successfully employed by colporteurs and canvassers has been clearly demonstrated by the Illinois and Dakota Conferences. Illinois placed the first colporteur wagon in the field, Dakota the second. The Indiana and Wisconsin Conferences will each have a new colporteur wagon, laden with the pages of precious truth, visiting the homes of the people in their respective States soon.
The following article from the pen of Elder O. S. Ferren will tell you what the Nebraska Conference has done in the way of starting canvassers' wagons in the year 1900:—
Since arriving in Wyoming from the Nebraska Conference, the committee has taken hold of missionary work in Wyoming in good earnest. Four missionary wagons will be in the field this summer. Most of these wagons have been loaned or given by our brethren in Wyoming. One more wagon is in waiting, which we will make use of later on. These wagons are laden with books and tracts pertaining to the Third Angel's Message, and are to visit every house and sheep- and cattle-ranch in the country. This is a great undertaking and rather a new experience for this thinly settled country.
These wagons are in charge of Brethren E. L. Cook, who goes to the northwest to work that portion of the State; J. W. Beams, who goes into the Great Basin country lying between the Big Horn and Rocky Mountain ranges; and A. R. Barnes, who takes in the northeast and the Black Hills country. Brother Benerly Hace works the territory south, along the Union Pacific Railway, making his way to the southwest.
We hope our brethren everywhere will receive and help these brethren in their missionary work. They have sacrificed the comforts of their homes and families for the season, and come to this needy field a thousand miles away, cut off from the outside world, to meet the stern realities of doing pioneer missionary work in this mission field. Brethren, they need our prayers, and all the help and sympathy we can possibly render.
Elder L. V. Finster and his wife will move three hundred miles south and west of Cheyenne, in the Rocky Mountain region, to join me in the tent work, thus giving Wyoming five additional workers, and one to divide his time between Wyoming and the Black Hills.
Brother Jesse Cornish is canvassing for "Heralds of the Morning" in the middle portion of the State, with good success. We shall look for the blessing of God upon this well-begun work, and hope to see many souls gathered in by this means. We ask all to pray for this new enterprise.
O. S. FERREN.

Porto Rico Under Colonial Government

The Senate Porto Rico tariff and civil government bill passed the House of Representatives in Congress, Wednesday, April 11, by a vote of one hundred and sixty-one to one hundred and fifty-three, and was signed by the President, and so became the law of Porto Rico, Thursday, April 12. It definitely establishes a colonial system of government by the United States, without the Constitution, with a governor and council appointed by the President, approved by the Senate, the governor the personal representative of the President, and responsible only to the President. It is in principle, and will prove in practice, Republican Rome’s system of colonial government, which was a mighty element in hurrying that republic into the terrific imperial despotism that it became.
The present assistant secretary of the navy, Hon. Chas. H. Allen, of Massachusetts, has been chosen by the President as the first United States colonial governor of Porto Rico. The Washington correspondent of the Detroit News-Tribune says that “Mr. Allen is credited by those familiar with his two-years’ service in the Navy Department, with being a man of unusual poise and ability, and with unswerving loyalty to his President and party.” Of course in Porto Rico he can not be loyal to the Constitution; because there he is to govern without the Constitution. Since he is the personal representative of the President, he can be loyal only to the President. That is, in that place and office he can not be loyal to principle, but only to a person.

Helen Gould’s Begging Letters

RECENTLY, in only one week, Helen Gould received begging letters calling in the aggregate for more than one and a half million dollars. One letter asked for a million dollars in a lump.

Catholic Service Recognized by Government

THE Catholic Mirror, April 7, says that “the United States government is conscious of the aid given it by Catholics in the recent war, and by many promotions the services of Catholics have been recognized.”

One-Man Power in the American Party

A LEADING Washington correspondent, one who is friendly to the administration, and who is in the confidence of the President, in writing, April 8, about the coming presidential convention at Philadelphia, said:—
No conclusion has been reached as to the temporary and permanent presiding officers of the Philadelphia convention. . . . The President, it is understood, will make the selections. The President will also, it is said, name the candidate for Vice-President. The President’s ideas concerning the platform will prevail, too, and we thus have the most extraordinary example of one-man power known in the history of an American party in recent years.

Christ and Municipal Politics

A MINISTER, “professor of sociology,” writing in the Northwestern Christian Advocate of April 4, says: “So long as leading citizens keep their eyes shut, I am inclined to believe that Jesus, if he were to come to Columbus [Ohio], would disregard his feelings, and mix in municipal politics, as he did in ecclesiastical politics, and even go so far as to break up a den of robbers in the city hall, as he did in the temple at Jerusalem.” If these ministers would study Christ and his divine principles, rather than the sociology of sinful men, they would have a far better knowledge of both Christianity and sociology.

NEXT WEEK

By Editor

we shall reprint from the Catholic Mirror a contribution on the Sunday question, from Archbishop Martinelli, apostolic delegate of the pope to the United States. It is entitled, “Shall Sunday Be ‘Lord’s Day’?” It is of peculiar importance just now, especially coming from that source. It contains several very interesting statements. Do not let your subscription expire just now, and so miss this article that will be of lasting interest, and value also, to you and to all.

DR. MARY A. CHAMBERLAIN.

By W. T. HORNADAY

At the home of her son-in-law, Capt. William Mitchell, near Wabaunsee, Kan., on Saturday, March 17, a noble life rounded out its full course of eighty-one years, and Mrs. Mary A. Chamberlain entered into rest. Instead of being a broken shaft, her life stands out a grand white column, complete from base to capital. Sister Chamberlain could trace her lineage back to the New England Puritans, even back to John Rogers, the martyr.
She was the daughter of John and Fanny Rogers Bill, of Middletown, Conn., and in 1843 was married to Col. E. L. H. Chamberlain, of the same place. She was comely in person, and scholarly in mind. She shared in the great Advent movement of 1840-44, out of which has grown the now strong denomination of Seventh-day Adventists. In the founding of that church, Colonel Chamberlain and his young wife played an important part.
While yet a young woman, the death of her husband threw upon her the burden of a large family; but instead of crushing her, it developed in her executive abilities rarely found in one so young. She studied medicine and hygiene in the historic medical school of Dr. R. T. Trall, and homœopathy in the University of Michigan, from which she was graduated, receiving the degree of M. D.
When the old Health Institute,—now the Medical and Surgical Sanitarium,—of Battle Creek, Mich., was established, Dr. Chamberlain became a member of its staff of physicians, where she remained eight years. From that institution she went to the California Sanitarium, where she remained until advancing age obliged her to retire from active work.
The last ten years of her life she divided her time between her two daughters, Mrs. William Mitchell, of Kansas, and Mrs. Wm. T. Hornaday, of New York City. Her son, Henry A. Chamberlain, long a resident of Middletown, Conn., now resides at Ansonia, Conn.
Monday, March 19, after impressive funeral services, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Jackson, of Wabaunsee, Kan., “Our Mother” was laid away to rest in the peace of the saints, until the trumpet call of the second coming of Christ shall fulfill the expectations of a lifetime, and summon to the presence of the Life-giver both the quick and the dead.

REVIEW AND HERALD.

Expansion and Imperialism

JOURNALS that all along have been the most friendly to expansion and the national administration, are now compelled to admit that the course of expansion and of the administration is that of imperialism only. Thus speaks the Chicago Times-Herald, which has been one of the leading administration papers:—
The American people are expansionists via the old safe and reliable territorial route, which can not lead to imperialism.
The Republican leaders in Washington are bent on taking the colonial route, which starts and ends in imperialism.
It is a struggle between government by the people and government by caucus, and we are inclined to believe that government by the people in the United States will win in the end every time.
It is certain that the people have not yet won this time. And whether they will “in the end,” is a problem yet to be solved.

The Porto Rico Bill

By the signature of the President, April 12, the Porto Rico bill became law. By it the Porto Ricans are not citizens of the United States, and have no representation in the United States; and yet are taxed by the United States, though the money thus raised is to be spent upon Porto Rico itself. Friday, April 13, the New York World recalled the fact that, “one hundred and thirty-five years, one month, and fifteen days ago to-day, the British Parliament passed an act for the taxation of the American colonies, the money thus raised to be expended in and upon the colonies themselves. The whole world knows what followed.” In view of current events of daily happening, can any one fail to see that this nation is steadily repudiating every principle of its Constitution as a republican government? And how much further must she go before she shall have actually repudiated every such principle? And then what?
