Obituaries

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus

WINN.—Died at Alexandria, Minn., April 16, 1901, Joseph Winn, aged 15 years, 5 months, 17 days. He was accidentally shot while hunting. He lived three days after the accident occurred, bearing all his sufferings patiently. The writer spoke at the funeral from John 14:14. Geo. M. Dimmick.

ADAMS.—Died in Dyer Brook, Me., April 9, 1901, Jane Adams, wife of Robert Adams, aged 60 years. She accepted the truth twenty-five years ago. She has always had a kindly word and a helping hand for the needy. She leaves a husband, eight children, and many friends to mourn their loss. Funeral services were held by the writer. J. B. Goodrich.

MATHEWS.—Died at the home of her mother in Fenton, Mich., April 12, 1901, Ruby, daughter of Mrs. J. M. Mathews, aged 25 years, 5 months, 17 days. She rests in Jesus, who was her comfort during a long illness. For consolation the friends and relatives were directed, by the writer, to those scriptures that had sustained and comforted their loved one. Frank C. Kelley.

GYLES.—Died at Temple, Mich., of cancer, my beloved wife, Liza M. Gyles. She accepted the truth twenty years ago, remaining faithful to the last. Four children survive. E. A. Gyles.

BLISS.—Died at Belding, Mich., April 9, 1901, Sister Nellie F. Bliss. She was born in New Hampshire in 1843, was converted at an early age, and by a consistent life, won the confidence and love of all who knew her. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, from Prov. 17:17. W. G. Kneeland.

SLAY.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at Pascagoula, Miss., of consumption of the bowels, our much-beloved sister, L. M. Slay, aged 42 years, 21 days. She leaves a husband and a daughter and many friends to mourn their loss, but not as those without hope. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, from Job 14:14–16. C. D. Cook.

SIMMONS.—Died near Ukiah, Cal., April 20, 1901, Mabel, beloved daughter of Brother and Sister Nelson Simmons, lacking three days of being fifteen years old. About two years ago Mabel was baptized and united with the Ukiah church, of which her father was a pastor. She showed by a consistent, Christian life that she was a child of God. Mrs. M. C. Burnham.

HUBLY.—Eleanor A., aged 26 years, 5 months, 8 days, died in Chicago, April 11, 1901, of typhoid fever, after an illness of five weeks. Miss Hubly was formerly connected with the Haskell Home, but later was a student in the American Medical Missionary College, where she was preparing for active missionary labor. Burial took place at her home in Davenport, Iowa. H. B. Knapp.

CHANEY.—Died at Boise, Idaho, of cancer of the liver, Brother Samuel G. Chaney, aged 64 years. In 1894 he accepted present truth at Ainsworth, Neb., and soon after began public labor in that Conference. His health beginning to fail, he moved to Asheville, N. C., and began farming, but later moved to Boise, Idaho, where he died April 13, 1901. He was a firm believer in the truths of the Third Angel’s Message, and a consistent Christian. His last days were especially bright. Services were conducted by Brother Casebeer, of Boise. W. B. White.

HAVERLAND.—Died at her home in Elgin, Neb., of pneumonia, April 16, 1901, Sister Sarah B. Haverland, aged 69 years and 17 days. Sister Haverland accepted the truths of the Third Angel’s Message in Wisconsin, in 1858, and continued an earnest, ardent believer in the message until death. She died with a bright hope in the first resurrection. Sister Haverland was loved by all who knew her; her manner of life, faith, hope, long-suffering, and earnest zeal for God were the means of gaining friends wherever she went. The funeral was held in the Methodist church, by the writer, assisted by the pastor, Rev. Trump. J. S. James.

THOMAS.—Died in Battle Creek, Mich., March 28, 1901, John J. Thomas, aged 57 years. He had not been a professor of religion during his life, but bore an excellent record as an upright and honorable citizen. In his last illness he felt his great need of God, and was assured of his acceptance. The remains were taken to his home in Wellington, Ohio, where a large concourse of people paid their last respects. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, also by Rev. Wm. Wagner, in behalf of the I. O. O. F.; and by Hon. Joseph Haskell, in behalf of the Masons. A wife and one son mourn, but not as those who have no hope. J. W. Collie.

SCHWARTZ.—Anna Roxana Wotka was born July 14, 1822, in the province of Schlesien, Germany; died of old age and bronchial trouble in North Liberty, Ind., April 19, 1901, aged 78 years, 9 months, 5 days. Sister Wotka came to America in 1851, was married to Godlief F. Schwartz, and settled near Laporte, Ind. Here, under the labors of Elder Joseph Bates, Brother and Sister Schwartz disconnected themselves from the Lutheran Church, into which they had been confirmed in youth, accepted the Third Angel’s Message, and were baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church, in 1857. In 1859 they moved near North Liberty, Ind., where, in 1867, Brother Schwartz died. To them were born six children, two having died in infancy, and one, Louisa, in 1894, while engaged in Bible work at Ft. Wayne, Ind. Three children, two sons and one daughter, are still living, Enoch C. being a faithful worker under the direction of the Indiana Conference. Funeral services were conducted by the writer at North Liberty. Heb. 9:27 was used as a basis of remarks. In laying this another pioneer and mother in Israel to rest, it is with a consciousness that she is soon to be awakened to immortal life. S. G. Huntington.

A SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS

By E. A. Sutherland

The question is repeatedly asked, Will there be a summer school for the training of church-school teachers? The answer in every case has been, Battle Creek College will conduct a summer school. Because of changes instituted by the General Conference, it has hitherto been impossible for the College to make any definite announcements. Matters stand like this: By vote of the Conference, Battle Creek College will dispose of its property in Battle Creek, and a new location will be chosen for the future work of the institution. The board of managers now have several places under consideration, and the site will soon be chosen. The erection of buildings will begin at once, but these can not be ready to occupy before the opening of the fall term. The summer school and teachers' institute will be conducted in tents on the new College grounds. It is hoped that arrangements can be made with each Conference to furnish tents for all students coming from its State. In this way Conferences will materially assist these young persons. Board will be furnished at actual cost, which will not exceed $1.75 a week, and will be lower if it is possible to make it so.

The course of study for the summer school will be such as to fit young people who by previous education are proficient in the common branches, to enter church schools in the fall. Each teacher will be required to pass a thorough examination by the examining board of the General Conference Educational Committee. Opportunity will be offered for a limited amount of private review work in common branches, but this can not take the place of the regular teachers' course of instruction. The summer school will open July 2, and will last eight weeks. This will be followed by a teachers' institute lasting ten days, from August 27 to September 6. All young people prepared to take a speedy training for church schools should attend the summer school.

The institute will be conducted for all who have been engaged in teaching church schools, and for ministers, church elders, and all who are interested in the progress of Christian education. It will be a time for special counsel over the future of the educational work. Instruction will be given by men of experience in the field and in our different institutions. Questions of vital importance to the work, such as the support of schools, the extension of the work, mission schools for the cities, the publication of text-books for church schools, will be considered.

The opportune time has arrived to advance the cause of Christian education. A strong, better-equipped class of workers must enter the field. Those who have been pioneers in the movement desire to advance; new fields must be entered; the truths of Christian education must go to the world.

For further information, send for Summer School Announcement. Keep watch for all notices of the summer school in the columns of the REVIEW. All who are prepared for this course should be put into correspondence with Battle Creek College at once. It will do you good to write. State clearly your qualifications, your choice of work, etc. Readers of this article are requested to send the addresses of persons who should receive training.

All who are planning to attend the summer school should write at once, that accommodations may be secured. — E. A. SUTHERLAND.

THREE NEW PUBLICATIONS

A BOOK A PAMPHLET A TRACT

ECCLESIASTICAL EMPIRE

As a complete history of the Roman Church from the fall of the Roman Empire to the present day. What other histories do not tell is found in this volume. The latest and best work by ELDER A. T. JONES. It canvasses the career of Europe’s kingdoms during the Dark Ages, examines the religious controversies of the principal papal councils during the time of papal supremacy, showing its intolerant spirit and resultant anarchy. It traces from its origin the growth of the Reformation, first in England, then in Bohemia and Germany, pointing out the principles of true Christianity. The latter portion of the book deals with national apostasy as it is, and tells what its end is to be, as revealed in the sure word of prophecy. It contains, in a connected way, all the essential points of history necessary to a good understanding of the great question of to-day,—the relation of Church and State. While doing all this, it has also the merit of being highly entertaining. As one said while reading the proof-sheets, it is a “hammer.”

It contains 874 pages, and sells at $2.50.

THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY

BEREAN LIBRARY, NO. 8.

“The closing decades of the 18th 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.

BIBLE READINGS ON EDUCATION

WORDS OF TRUTH SERIES, NO. 30.

BY M. BESSIE DEGRAW.

This little tract treats the subject of education from the Bible, and the Bible alone. Such themes as The Bible System of Education, Divine Teachers, Two Systems of Education, Educational Reforms, Effects of Worldly Education, Proper Studies for Christian Schools, Text-Books, Educational Work in the Closing Message, Etc., are given prominence.

Every one interested in education—and who is not?—should obtain a copy of this pamphlet, and study the subject thoroughly.

PRICE, 3 CENTS.

Address all orders for either this book, pamphlet, or tract, to your State Tract Society; the Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.; or the Pacific Press Pub. Co., Oakland, Cal.

The Proposed Religious Trust

But, stronger still, is the following appeal for church union, from the Philadelphia Press: “If the trust succeeds in business life, why can not it succeed in the domain of religion? If a half-dozen railroads or manufacturers by combining can perform a better service, and for less money and with less effort, and so sell their product at a cheaper rate, why can not two or five or all the denominations combine, and do the same or a greater amount of work, and at a less expenditure of time, money, and effort? In short, why should there not be a religious trust which would end the waste of effort and the reduplication of work and the consequent loss in results now so conspicuous in church life?”

What is the Church of Rome, but just such a religious trust as is here proposed? Rome would like nothing better than to have this scheme succeed.

THE FIFTY-THOUSAND-DOLLAR FUND FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS

By P. T. MAGAN

DURING the past two weeks, the money and the letters have been rolling into the Relief of the Schools’ Office as never before. Our mail averages from one hundred and fifty to two hundred letters every day. Surely God is moving upon hearts, brethren and sisters, to raise this terrible debt. Almost every one to whom we have written sends a letter expressing a deep desire to help roll back the ‘reproach, and a conviction that those who do this to the best of their ability will swell the grand jubilee choir. Almost every letter contains a gift. Many of these are small, but some of them are very large. We know that God is pleased, and we are thankful, and pray that every soul will realize the truth of the words which have been spoken to us, that in this matter God is testing individuals and institutions.

We endeavor to answer every letter that comes to the office. We know that our Heavenly Father loves the cheerful giver, and He thanks the cheerful giver by the blessing which He bestows when the gift is made. Here in the office, we desire to share the blessing by expressing gratitude to all who give, and courteously answering the letters of all who write and say they can not give. We will have to ask our brethren and sisters to bear with us if their gifts are not acknowledged immediately, as our office force is so small that we are unable at present to answer the letters as promptly as we could wish.

P. T. MAGAN.

The Decease of a Pioneer

By Mrs. H. I. Farnum

My beloved mother, Mrs. Washington Morse, aged nearly eighty-three years, died at her home, near Walker’s Point, Muskoka, Ontario, Feb. 12, 1901.

Our parents accepted the Sabbath truth in 1849, in Corinth, Vt., having been in full accord with the first and second messages of the great threefold message of Rev. 14:6-13. Mother’s love for these testing truths, and her interest in their promulgation, continued unabated to the last.

In 1856 she, with her family, emigrated to Minnesota, being one of the first three families of Seventh-day Adventists in that new country, which was then a Territory. In 1897 she and her companion came to Ontario.

The husband, five sons, two daughters, twelve grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren are left to mourn their loss, and to “rise up, and call her blessed.”

At the last, replying to the question, “Is Jesus precious to you, and does His grace support you now?” came the final words: “Yes; it must be so;” and her long and useful life ebbed away as peacefully as a quiet, radiant sunset. “She sleeps in Jesus, soon to rise!”

Job 19:21 was selected for the funeral text, Brother S. W. Hickok delivering the address.

Mrs. H. I. Farnum.

Are You Passing Your Review Along?

A REVIEW subscriber in Nebraska writes as follows: “The REVIEW is received each week, read, and passed along. It is too good to keep.” Are you passing your REVIEW along?

American Citizens and British “Subjects”

It is said that “Americans complain because the British Foreign Office and other governmental departments in London persistently speak and write of American citizens as ‘American subjects.’”

Colombian Revolution and Gospel Liberty

The Colombian revolution is far from being crushed; for the hostile army confronting the existing government is composed of “a large and influential part of the population of the republic.” It is thought that “if the liberals succeed in setting up a government in Bogota, it will give more promise of peace in the northern republics of South America; for, as they will then all be liberal, it will be impossible for invading armies to organize on the frontiers for the purpose of descending on their neighbors.” Experienced missionaries feel that “though there is, nominally, liberty of worship as a heritage from a former liberal constitution, there is every official hindrance in the way of a spread of the gospel, and in those lands constitutions mean nothing in the hands of hostile officials. The success of the insurrection would mean practically the opening of the door for the preaching of the gospel to three million people.”

Religious Statistics of the British Empire

Of the three hundred and fifty million inhabitants of the British Empire but one seventh are even nominally Christians, two hundred and forty million being regarded “heathens,” and sixty million being Mohammedans.

Gospel Farmer March Number

If you will send for the March number of the Gospel Farmer, Harvey, Ill., and read it through, we are sure you will want to subscribe for at least one year. It is an excellent little paper, and costs but twenty-five cents a year.

Slavs and Anglo-Saxons

WHILE so many are talking of a possible conflict between the Slavs and the Anglo-Saxons, it is interesting to note that there are but 86,000,000 of the former to 129,000,000 of the latter. Of course, it is not a foregone conclusion that the United States would unite with England in such a struggle against Russia.

Advocate of Christian Education

THE name of that interesting educational magazine known heretofore as the Training School Advocate, has been changed to the Advocate of Christian Education. If you wish to learn something of the principles of true education, and of the progress of Christian education in the world, send fifty cents for a year's subscription. Sample copies free upon application to Training School Publishing Association, Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. The April number contains, in its eight general departments, over thirty educational articles.

Church Union and Duplication of Work

SPEAKING of the tendency to a union of the churches, the Independent says: “There is no one feature of the conduct of church work by different organizations that is attracting more public interest than the waste of effort due to the overlapping and reduplication of work by organizations nearly akin to one another.” It adds, further, that during the past ten years there has been what it regards “a great improvement” in this matter.

Coupons Relieve the Schools

By Editor

LET nobody think that the coupons in the REVIEW are not doing good. We are getting about one hundred and fifty letters, and sometimes two hundred letters, each day in the Relief of the Schools' office. The best of it is that nearly all these letters contain something. One good brother sent in seven hundred dollars for the Relief of the Schools, and thought that in a few months he could add three hundred dollars more, making a gift of one thousand dollars in all. Some do not send in more than fifty cents; but every gift is welcome, and every giver is blessed of God according to the spirit and ability of the giver. We can not stop the good work, so we print the coupon once more. Put your gift into the form of a postal money order or a bank draft; fill out the coupon below, cut it out, inclose it, with the order or draft, in an envelope, and mail it to P. T. Magan, Battle Creek, Mich.
