I WILL COME AGAIN
Earlier text: A BLESSING IN SOUTH AFRICA

TO OUR WORKERS.

By S. H. Lane

The readers of the Review are aware of the fact that Sabbath, July 6, 1901, has been appointed by the General Conference Committee as a day of prayer and supplication for our foreign work in the Scandinavian field, and a collection will be taken in each church for the relief of the Scandinavian publishing house at Christiania, Norway.
Readings will be sent out, and a letter will be mailed to each church elder giving suggestions in regard to the reading, and the conducting of the meeting. We trust none of our church elders will let the matter rest, but that they and the other leaders in each church will plan for a general attendance; and we hope that our brethren and sisters everywhere are now planning to lay aside money for the collection, if they have not already done so.
We are glad that a spirit of liberality is coming in among our people, and money for all parts of the work is being given. Confidence is being restored. In the camp-meetings which are now being held, we trust that our people will be encouraged to make July 6 such a day of consecration and prayer as we have never engaged in. Let us take hold and lift unitedly. S. H. LANE.

THE SALE OF “CHRIST’S OBJECT LESSONS.”

By S. H. Lane

WE are glad to report that the good work of selling “Christ’s Object Lessons” is progressing quite rapidly in some parts of the field, but there is not that general taking hold of the work that we desire to see; however, we are thankful that something is all the time being done. Some States have done, and are doing, nobly, and our colleges and schools are beginning to pay some on their debts. Fully twenty-five thousand dollars has already been paid on the denominational school debt; this certainly is well for the few months that the book has been on the market, but the work should not be left to wane.
All appreciate the fact that the summer is not so good a time to sell books as the fall and early winter, yet books can be sold during the summer. Some Conferences are making quite a vigorous campaign this summer, and as a result many books are being forwarded to the field. The sale of this book will bring inestimable good to two classes: First, the class that sells the book. It gives them an opportunity to do missionary work, also an experience which they cannot obtain better through any other source. Second, the book will do the class that purchase an amount of good which eternity alone can develop; for it will bring to them a knowledge of the truth, for the lack of which many are perishing. So both those who sell and those who buy will be benefited; and only time can reveal which class will derive the greatest good.
There is ample ground for deep gratitude to God for the manner in which our brethren and sisters everywhere have responded to the call for money to buy the material with which to make the books. The committee having charge of the book thought fit to raise fifty thousand dollars to pay for the material used in its manufacture. Fully one-half of this amount has been paid, and several thousand dollars has been pledged. The book is being brought out in the German, Danish-Norwegian, and Swedish, and in a few months can be placed upon the market. We trust this will result in bringing in many thousands of dollars to aid the work in these languages.
Reader, have you donated to the Material fund? If not, will you not send in a liberal offering to aid in the work? Now is the time to work. All our institutions, as well as the State Conferences and the tract societies, should be working out of debt. Times are prosperous; there is an abundance of money in the land; and now while kind Providence thus favors our country, and peace is quite universal in all lands, we trust every servant of God who fully loves the truth for this time will do everything he can to place our books and literature before the people, and thus spread abroad the truth.
S. H. LANE.

Obituaries

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.
Is there ever a time when the human heart So gropes in the gloom of night, As the time we turn from our dead apart, And cover them up from sight? Ah, there’s never a time when the spirit yearns For the deathless home above, As the day when the clods of the valley fall O’er the grave of the one we love. —Mrs. L. D. Avery-Suttle.
Cash.—Died at his home in Oakland, Wis., Sunday morning, May 19, 1901, of heart-disease, John Elmer Cash, aged 51 years and 11 months. He was buried in the Oakland Cemetery. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Luke 23:42. F. Stebbeds.
Bickle.—Died, May 27, 1901, at the James White Memorial Home, Battle Creek, Mich., after many years of suffering and invalidism, Mary Jane, wife of Thomas Bickle, aged 80 years and 4 months. Words of comfort were spoken from Job 19:25–27. L. McCoy.
Kendall.—Died near Mankato, Minn., April 27, 1901, of lung, heart, and kidney trouble, Willie, second son of Brother and Sister A. W. Kendall, aged 17 years. He had a bright Christian experience, and his extreme suffering was cheerfully borne. The family are comforted by the blessed hope. We laid him to rest in the Garden City Cemetery. The funeral was conducted by the writer. O. O. Bernstein.
Hinterleiter.—Died May 13, 1901, at Lebanon, Pa., of lingering consumption, Charles A. Hinterleiter, aged 57 years, 5 months, 15 days. He was converted to the truth of the Third Angel’s Message in 1890, remaining a firm believer till his death. Funeral services were held at his home, and also at Kutztown, where interment was made. The text of the funeral discourse was his own choice, Ps. 62:7. W. H. Smith.
Brace.—Died at Brodhead, Wis., May 12, 1901, Edith Gammon Brace, aged 33 years, 9 months, 10 days. Sister Brace united with the Battle Creek church when a young woman. Since her father’s death, which occurred when she was a young girl, she had been the constant companion of her mother. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, to a large company of friends and neighbors, from John 11:23. We laid her away to await the return of the Life-giver. C. W. Olds.
Hockens.—Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jeremiah Hall, at West Olive, Mich., April 27, 1901, Mrs. Dorcas (Trowbridge) Hockens, aged 84 years, 11 months, and 21 days. When only eleven years old, she gave her heart to God, and at the age of fourteen she united with the Disciple Church. When the Third Angel’s Message found her, she gladly accepted it, and rejoiced in it to the last. At the time of her death she was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Denver, Mich. Text of funeral discourse, 2 Cor. 9:15. O. F. Butcher.
Hafer.—Wm. H. Hafer was born Nov. 13, 1817, in Catawissa, Pa., and died April 25, 1901, at Colon, Mich., aged 83 years, 5 months, 12 days. He was married to Julia Dow in 1843, to whom were born six children, two of whom are living—James Hafer, of Colon, and Mrs. Anna Goodrich, a missionary in Central America. When a young man, Mr. Hafer was a member of the Baptist Church, but in 1858 he joined the Seventh-day Adventists. The funeral services were held in the Reform church at Colon, and words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Heb. 9:28. B. Hagle.

Two Popular Publications

By Percy T. Magan

By Percy T. Magan
Ten years Professor of History in Battle Creek College.

Peril of the Republic

The argument of this work is founded upon the basic principle of civil and religious liberty. It shows the great danger of republics departing from these principles and following in the footsteps of despotic monarchies. It treats of the mission of the United States, and of the great national and international events now taking place.
Do you know and understand all these things? Can you clearly point out the dangers which beset our great nation? Are you able to tell others of the sure results of following out wrong principles in the government? If not, secure and study “Perils of the Republic.”
It will cause the fires of true patriotism to burst forth anew in every breast. It will awaken within you a greater desire for right principles. It will instill into your heart a longing to warn others of their impending doom.
Every citizen of the United States should have this book just now while these living issues of to-day hang in the balance, waiting for the final decision.
The book is handsomely bound in red cloth, has 196 pages, and sells for $1.00.

The Battle of the Century

Berean Library, No. 8.
“The closing decades of the eighteenth century were big with momentous events.” A new order of things was about to take place. Despotism and religious persecution were dethroned, and civil and religious liberty was vouchsafed to the teeming millions of the civilized world. The three great events which brought this about were the French Revolution, the birth of the United States, and the taking prisoner of the pope, thus ending the civil power of the Catholic Church.
“The Battle of the Century” tells all about this, and also shows that from the trend of present events this priceless blessing is being surrendered. From cover to cover, this pamphlet is full of truth.
Only 10 cents.

A BOOK. A PAMPHLET. A TRACT.

Ecclesiastical Empire

Is a complete history of the Roman Church from the fall of the Roman Empire to the present day. The latest and best work by Elder A. T. Jones. What other histories do not tell is found in this volume.
It deals minutely with the inner workings and plottings of the papal councils; the relentless persecutions waged against the true Christians; the rise and growth of the Reformation in the different European countries, and finally the apostasy of the Church, and shows what the ultimate end of this apostasy will be. 27 chapters; 874 pages; price, $2.50.

Great Nations of To-Day.

By Elder A. T. Jones.
BEREAN LIBRARY, No. 7.
The author treats the great nations of to-day from a prophetical and historical standpoint, which cannot fail to arrest the attention and demand the careful consideration of every candid thinker. He also portrays the results of the great Powers congregating their forces in the Orient. Price, 25 cents.

Bible Readings on Education.

WORDS OF TRUTH SERIES, No. 30.
By M. Bessie De Graw.

Editorial Notes.

ELDERS C. THOMPSON and M. G. Huffman are about to begin a series of tent-meetings at Mt. Erie, Ill.

A WORD OF CHEER.

ELDER GEO. B. THOMPSON, in sending his communication for the REVIEW, in another column, accompanies it with the following encouraging words:—
I send you herewith a brief report from this Conference. I feel that our Conferences owe a duty in this line to our church paper. You may be assured of our prayers and hearty co-operation. I shall do all in my power to see that the REVIEW is in the home of every Sabbath-keeper in this Conference.

CORRECTION

IN our issue of last week, it was stated in the advertisement for “The Marvel of Nations,” that the cloth used in the manufacture of the covers would cover an area of forty-seven by thirty-two miles. This should read, “The cloth used in the covers would, if cut into a strip nine inches wide, extend forty-seven miles.”

THE MISSIONARY MAGAZINE.

By Editor

The motto from this time forward is, “The advent message to the world in this generation,” and the Missionary Magazine will urge this movement, and report its progress. It ought to be read in every family. New features will appear in the July number. Price, fifty cents a year; foreign countries, seventy-five cents. Address the Mission Board, Battle Creek, Mich.

SUMMER SCHOOL.

THE General Conference has kindly arranged to furnish tents free to all who attend the summer school and educational conference. The school will be held at Gull Lake, near Battle Creek, Mich., July 10 to September 3. The conference, a meeting of medical workers, ministers, and teachers, convenes July 10-20.
In order to provide tent room for all, the names of those who will attend the conference of the summer school must be known at once.
For course of study, rates, etc., address E. A. Sutherland.

THE NEW BOOK.

By Editor

A copy of the new book, noticed in last week’s REVIEW, has just been laid on our table. This is the new book by Elder A. T. Jones, entitled “Ecclesiastical Empire.” It was our privilege to read the greater part of the proof on this book, as it was going through the press, which we did with the utmost interest. Prophecy has given us a symbolical representation of the “little horn” in many phases. This book is substantially a history of that little horn, which waxed “exceeding great.” The statements of this book are drawn from sources of acknowledged authenticity, and will be an eye-opener to all who wish or are willing to take an inside view of the nature and workings of “ecclesiastical empire.” This work shows what men will do when accorded supreme spiritual dominion, through the unrestrained ignorance and bigotry of their fellow men. In it the papacy stands before the world as a self-condemned culprit, on its own voluntary confession. The facts are astounding almost beyond credence. We would that every government official, and every one of the seventy-six million inhabitants of the United States, could be induced to read this work. It would show them the fate to which our country will come, unless by some great spasm of virtue the people shall wrest themselves from the medievalism of the Dark Ages, which is fast settling upon us.

GENERAL CONFERENCE BULLETIN.

By S. H. Lane

Did you subscribe for the General Conference Bulletin? If you did not, you certainly missed a rare opportunity of which many availed themselves, and were doubly repaid for all they invested. We are glad to state that we can furnish all numbers—from the first to the present issue. These Bulletins contain about five hundred pages of the choicest reading-matter. Any one of the addresses made by the various speakers at the Conference is well worth the price of the paper. We can send those that were printed during the Conference, postpaid, for fifty cents, or those and the numbers for the remaining year and a half, all complete from first to last, for seventy-five cents.
If you have not this valuable publication in your possession, will you not subscribe? Send fifty cents if you wish those that have already been printed, or seventy-five cents for the two years. Who will respond? If you do not, you will lose a good chance to obtain a large amount of reading-matter for a small sum. Address General Conference Bulletin, Battle Creek, Mich. Send post-office order or stamps. Please order immediately. S. H. LANE.

NOTICE!

By P. T. Magan

WE frequently receive gifts to the big fund for the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS from brethren and sisters who neglect to append their full address, although the letters are signed by the givers. Sometimes the name of the town is given, but not the State. It is virtually impossible for us to get the receipts to our friends unless they give their full address. Please be careful about this matter, brethren and sisters, as we do not wish to appear unmindful or ungrateful for favors received, and it is a pleasure to us to write and thank those who are kind enough to make offerings to this cause, as well as print the name of the giver and the amount in the REVIEW, which is invariably done unless we are specially requested to omit the name, and acknowledge simply to “a friend,” etc.
P. T. MAGAN.

HOW ONE OF OUR MINISTERS IS USING “GREAT NATIONS OF TO-DAY.”

By Editor

We take the liberty to quote the following from a private letter just received from Elder B. L. Howe:—
Belvidere, Ill.
Elder A. T. Jones: I bought several copies of “Great Nations of To-day” and “Marshaling of the Nations” before I left Battle Creek yesterday. I gave this people a little talk on the condition of nations, using the large map. They were stirred up, and desired another meeting in the evening. After the sermon at night, they bought all the copies of “Great Nations of To-day” and the “Marshaling of the Nations” that I had with me. Please bring a supply of these books with you.
B. L. Howe.
Every minister and worker, and all our brethren and sisters throughout the field, ought to assist in extending the circulation of these two books, as Brother Howe is doing. Will you help? This is an opportune time to circulate publications dealing with prophecy and the affairs of the great world Powers.

TO SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WHO HAVE MONEY

By Editor

ARE there any of you who have money which you do not at present see your way clear to give to the cause, but which you would be willing to lend at a low rate of interest?
The Battle Creek College has paid off many thousands of dollars of its debt during the past year; but since the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” has begun, many seem to think that the whole eighty-four thousand dollars can be paid off at once.
Some really need the money they have loaned to the institution. We should like to pay these brethren and sisters. While the money has come in quite well from “Christ’s Object Lessons,” there is not sufficient to satisfy all of the most pressing demands. Therefore we should like very much to borrow money to pay off this other money. Address P. T. Magan, Battle Creek, Mich.

THE GERM THEORY.

WHAT is known as “the germ theory” is scaring many persons into the vain attempt to dodge all evil germs. Commenting upon the omnipresence of deadly germs, a noted New York physician well says: “Germs?—To be sure, there are germs everywhere! Germs of all kinds, and germs of every possible character; but do not forget that there are germs of health as well as germs of disease, and that when the body is in a normal condition, these germs of health are strong and ferocious, and are capable of destroying any other germ which might try to encroach upon their territory. Take any man in robust health,—not a fat, alcohol-bloated specimen,—and he can eat germs, and they will have absolutely no effect upon him. . . . It is the presence of impurities in the blood that makes the production of a cold possible. Exactly the same condition prevails with disease germs, and they are absolutely powerless if the body is free from the impurities upon which they feed. . . . Do not be fooled by this germ theory. Keep your body strong, your blood pure, and every germ of disease that enters will be pounced upon by the ferocious germs of health, and be torn literally to atoms.” These words are by a vegetarian and an inveterate hater of the use of drugs in disease. Avoid all the disease germs you can; but do not be in mortal fear of those which you cannot avoid.
