SATISFIED
Earlier text: A WORD OF WARNING

NO ROOM FOR PUPILS.

By L. A. Van Erin

ONE of our self-supporting workers—the founder of Peace Haven Industrial School for Colored Youth, at Blackville, S. C., writes to a sister in Battle Creek, as follows:—
“Your letter just at hand. I wrote telling you of the death of my boy, but I presume you had not received my letter. I will try to answer your questions regarding our school. Last term we had seventy-five pupils enrolled. This fall we should have about two hundred and fifty if we had the teachers.
“Our present building is 20 x 30 ft. We already have the framing lumber, a part of the weather boarding, and shingles to erect another building, 28 x 40 ft. To finish this so we can use it will take about two hundred dollars. We have no brick for flues, no doors, windows, ceiling, or money to pay carpenters.
“We hope to begin school the first of September. The people are very anxious for you to come. Make haste to come; but I cannot raise the railroad fare yet. I am owing the doctor’s and undertaker’s bills, which must be paid as soon as I possibly can. Our building must be ready, with the dear Lord’s help, in time for school. You don’t know how busy it keeps me to keep things moving. It is write, write, until I am brain weary. We must build and enlarge and continue doing so until we can successfully carry on the work God has given into our hands. Last Sunday I spoke to about seven hundred at the Baptist association, on school work; and already many from a distance are coming to enter their children. Could you not get some to promise a certain amount each month toward running expenses? Push the matter all you can, raise every dollar you can, and get the school and its needs before our people. I do hope you will soon be on the ground. The need is great. Yours in the hope of the coming King.
“J. H. POMEROY.”
Our brother, J. H. Pomeroy, was in this city during the late General Conference.
The writer is glad to say to all who are interested in the work for the South, that she has succeeded in securing the services of two consecrated self-supporting helpers. It is needless to add any words of mine to this urgent and pathetic appeal from Brother Pomeroy—other than to quote the following extract, clipped from a periodical while I was working in southern California five or six years ago, which kindled a “fire in my bones,” and started me to the needy fields of the South:—
“God makes no distinction between the North and the South. He requires far more of His people than they have given Him in missionary work among the people of the South of all classes, and especially among the colored race. Are we not under even greater obligation to labor for the colored people than for those who have been highly favored? . . . After so great a wrong has been done them, should not an earnest effort be made to lift them up?
“The truth must be carried to them. They have souls to be saved as well as we. Sin rests upon us as a Church because we have not made greater efforts for the salvation of souls among the colored people. Every effort should be made to wipe out the terrible wrong, which has been done them. Let us do what we can to send to this class laborers who will work in Christ’s name, who will not fail nor be discouraged. . . . We should recognize talent where it exists among that people, and those who have ability should be placed where they may receive an education. . . . We must do more unselfish missionary work than we have done in the Southern States.”
I can only pray that the spirit of Him who gave all there was to give, to rescue a race of fallen rebels, may move upon your heart, dear reader, to respond now to this call and send help to build a shelter for our pupils and the workers, so we may confidently say Come, to such as wish to come. The place must be prepared for the souls who are moved upon by the Spirit of the loud cry. This is a part of our great message for to-day. What will you do now? Please send all donations to J. H. Pomeroy, Blackville, S. C.

CAMP-MEETING FOR THE CAROLINAS.

By J. O. Johnston

The camp-meeting for North and South Carolina will be held at Hickory, N. C., from Aug. 23 to Sept. 1.

As all the brethren and sisters present at this meeting will be regarded as delegates, we hope all will be present the 21st, and take part in the organization of the Conference. See Southern Review. J. O. JOHNSTON, Director.

CHURCH SCHOOLS IN THE EASTERN UNION CONFERENCE.

By Frederick Griggs

It is high time that our churches were planning for church schools this next year. Boards should be elected, and provision made financially by which the work can be carried forward successfully. During this past year we had twenty-four church schools, with two hundred and seventy-two pupils in attendance. This is certainly a good beginning, but this next year the work should be carried much further. Many more schools should be established, and those already existing should be put on a more secure basis.
The General Conference Summer School, which is being held in Michigan this year, will be productive of much good, and our people in the Union Conference will wish to take hold of the work in earnest. This means that some one in each church will have to take a responsibility, and in faith press on in this work. God will bless all who do.
I shall be glad to receive applications for teachers from all our churches, and provide for schools at an early date, so that we may have this work arranged satisfactorily. FREDERICK GRIGGS.

Easy Steps in the Bible Story

By Adelaide Bee Cooper

A Book for the Children and a Book that Children Love.

Easy Steps in the Bible Story.

By ADELAIDE BEE COOPER.
The minds of children turn as naturally to the stories of the Bible as a lily to the sun. They never tire of hearing of the wonders of Creation Week, of the incidents of the Flood, and the building of the Tower of Babel, and of the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And Joseph—what mother does not hear again and again from childish lips the request, “Tell me ’bout Joseph.”
“Easy Steps in the Bible Story” gives all these and other narratives reaching from Creation down to the time when the Law was spoken on Mount Sinai. The stories are told in simple words that the children can understand, and the pictures help make the meaning still more plain.
Do your children have this book? If not, make them happy by giving them a copy. If they do, encourage them to present it to some little friend. In these days when the market is flooded with children’s Bible stories that are filled with teaching that strikes at the very foundations of Christian belief, the placing of this book in the hands of the little ones may be the means of forming in some childish mind an idea of the events of Creation Week that neither time nor later teaching can wholly efface.
“The best of all Bible books for children,”—ALONZO T. JONES.

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.

Testimonial on Elder S. N. Haskell's Story of Daniel

By E. A. Sutherland

Testimonial.

The fullness of the latter rain will be preceded by a message which turns the hearts of parents to their children, and of children to their parents. One means of bringing all into the unity of the faith is now in my hands. I refer to the “Story of Daniel the Prophet,” by Elder S. N. Haskell. It would seem that every doctrinal point is explained somewhere in its pages. No one can read this treatise on the prophecies of Daniel without having a clear understanding of healthful living and the principles of true education. It is also a book for the home, as the story is so simply told that even the children will be delighted with it. By studying it together, parents and children will find their hearts beating in unison. The author has the happy faculty of treating his subject in the same excellent manner that characterizes his Bible teaching.—PROF. E. A. SUTHERLAND.

The Story of Daniel the Prophet.

By S. N. Haskell

By ELDER S. N. HASKELL.
Introduction by Elder Uriah Smith.
Instead of taking a controversial part in the discussion of theories regarding the incidents of Daniel’s life and his prophecies, this work forms the prophet’s biography from the beginning of his captivity, and traces his course through all the years of his holy life. The elements which entered into his early education that enabled him, after years of contact with a heathen and voluptuous court, to be called “Greatly Beloved” of God, are clearly defined. The rise and fall of nations as outlined in the prophecies of Daniel are carefully delineated, while the light contained on the sanctuary question is of inestimable value to every student of prophecy.

Tabernacle Sabbath Services on Schools and Charity

Two Sabbath services in the Tabernacle, July 20 and 27, have been occasions of great interest. Brother J. G. Lamson, on the first date, spoke on the subject of schools, showing the necessity of denominational or church schools, on account of the errors that are permeating the secular teachings of the present day. Last Sabbath Elder S. H. Lane spoke of the message of Luke 14:13, 14. The importance of that work was set forth, and the services rendered in this direction by the Y. M. C. A., the W. C. T. U., and the Salvation Army were duly acknowledged.
