Emmanuel Missionary College Founded at Berrien Springs

By Editor

IN this issue the Educational Secretary, P. T. Magan, describes the steps taken in connection with the founding of “Emmanuel Missionary College” at Berrien Springs, Mich., an event which he truly says “marks an era in our educational work.” The old institution so long known to our readers, and so much cherished by many of them,—Battle Creek College,—is removed to this new site and given a new and more expressive title. We shall soon be able to publish a diagram of the college grounds.

The Religious Liberty Association.

By Alonzo T. Jones

IN the process of reorganization begun at the late General Conference, the Religious Liberty work, instead of being conducted longer by a separate organization, was made a part of the General Conference organization, to be conducted by a subcommittee connected with the General Conference Committee.

In some unaccountable way, a good many people have received the impression that the Religious Liberty work was to be abandoned. This is altogether a mistake. Some of the machinery and a good deal of expense is to be abandoned. But instead of the Religious Liberty work being abandoned, it is intended and expected that more of it shall be done, if possible, than was done before. It is therefore expected and desired that memberships, annual dues, and donations shall not only continue, but shall be increased. Through the mistake of thinking that the work was to be abandoned, memberships, annual dues, and donations have dropped off considerably. But brethren who love religious liberty and its spread among the people, please change this order. Please send in your renewals and donations.

The National Reform element is not slacking its work, though its work is not done openly as much as at first. This is a live issue now just as really as ever; though the phase of it has changed, as has been the case two, or three times before. Yet under whatever phase the evil thing may appear, it is always the same subtle evil thing; and it will continue its evil work unto the end, and until then it will have to be watched, and will have to be opposed and exposed by the living principles of the gospel—the only true liberty.

So to all who have thought that the Religious Liberty work was to be abandoned, and to all who have been inclined to let it be abandoned, we would repeat the words that on a historic occasion brought a great victory and the overwhelming recovery of an abandoned field: “Turn, boys; turn. We are going back!” Come along.

Send in your fees and donations. H. E. Osborne is still secretary of the Religious Liberty work, although his address is now Battle Creek, instead of Chicago.

A Good Word from Australia.

By E. W. Farnsworth

SINCE we had the season of prayer for Dr. D. H. Kress, about three weeks ago, he has been gaining considerably. At the time I sent the cable, he was in bed, and told me that, judging from his symptoms, he could not live a week. A few days after the season of prayer, he was up and walking around, and has been gradually gaining ever since. He has ridden over to Morissett, once or twice, and to other places as well. I understand that the alarming symptoms which were so prominent when the season of prayer was held for him, have disappeared. We now have every hope that he will recover.

We are grateful indeed to God for this manifestation of His kindness and love to us. It has been a great blessing to the Cooranbong church, as they participated in the prayer season very heartily and earnestly, and it has drawn their hearts much nearer together.

The retreat is now nearly filled with patients, and more are coming. I think we shall soon have more than we can care for. At the new sanitarium the work is going on as well as we can reasonably expect. Some progress is being made all the time. The masons are plastering some of the rooms now. About one third of the building is nearly ready for plastering. The other end is not yet under roof. The great problem before us now is to get sufficient money to pay for the land, so we can secure our deed. When that is accomplished, I shall feel safe.

Brother and Sister Irwin came on the last boat. They have been with us several days. It seems good to see them. I think we shall have a large attendance at the Conference. We have reasonably good reports from all parts of the field. I should judge that the week of prayer was a success. I presume the annual offerings will not be quite as large as last year.

REVIEW AND HERALD

Thirteen-Thousand-Dollar Coupon.

By P. T. Magan

During my travels the past few weeks, I have met a number of people who have stated that they had a dollar to give on the coupon plan in the REVIEW, for the Relief of the Schools; but as the coupons had ceased to appear, for some reason they had held their money. Our brethren and sisters will be pleased to know that up to date this coupon plan has brought in, in actual cash, somewhere in the neighborhood of thirteen thousand dollars, besides a large amount in pledges. And now we publish the coupon once more, with the prayer that God will move upon the hearts of many to follow the example of all who have sent in money on this plan in days gone by.

Take your money, five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen dollars, or even one dollar, whatever you may have, buy a bank draft or post-office money-order, fill out the coupon, cut it out, and inclose the draft or money-order in it, and send the whole to Prof. P. T. Magan, Berrien Springs, Mich. Remember the change of address from Battle Creek to Berrien Springs, as the office of the Relief of the Schools Secretary will be at this place in the future.

P. T. MAGAN.
