Adams.— Mary A. Booton was born in Virginia, June 22, 1833, and died Aug. 27, 1915, at Healdsburg, Cal. From Sigourney, Iowa, the family moved to California in 1883. She was known to many of the pioneers in the message, having accepted present truth in the fifties. At the time of her death Sister Adams was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Four children are left to mourn. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. M. A. HOLLISTER.
Rice.— Lydia Rice, of Millington, Mich., died Aug. 3, 1915, at the advanced age of 83 years, 3 months, and 11 days. She was a widow fifty-three years, assuming at the death of her husband the support and training of their five small children. This duty she bravely discharged in the fear of God. For thirty-five years Sister Rice was an earnest member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The last years of her life were spent at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Eugene Leland. L. T. NICOLA.
Gardner.— Little Dorris Virginia Gardner was born in Richmond, Va., July 28, 1913, and died at Battle Creek, Mich., Aug. 23, 1915. She was loved by all who knew her, and a great vacancy is left in the home of Brother and Sister R. C. Gardner, but they are sustained by “the blessed hope.” G. E. LANGDON.
Johnson.— Archie Benjamin Johnson was born at St. Edward, Nebr., June 15, 1897, and died at his home, in Armona, Cal., Aug. 24, 1915. At the age of sixteen he united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. During his last sickness the Lord greatly blessed in special prayer for his healing, and for a time we thought he would be fully restored, but such was not the divine will, and so we laid him to rest, awaiting the call of the Life-giver. B. L. HOWE.
Rowe.— James Rowe was born in England, in the year 1834. He came to the United States in 1852, and died at Academia, Ohio, Aug. 25, 1915, aged 81 years and 4 months. He was married to Sarah L. Pichard in 1865. For more than thirty years Brother Rowe was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, serving as treasurer of the Ohio Conference for some time. His companion and an adopted daughter, the wife of Elder J. E. Shultz, of China, are left to mourn.
Honeywell.— Mary Higley was born in Pennsylvania, Oct. 31, 1837, and fell asleep Aug. 19, 1915. She was the oldest of a family of ten children, and is survived by three sisters and four brothers. Her childhood was spent in Ohio and Michigan. She was married to William Honeywell at Harlan, Iowa, in 1877. They made their home on a claim in Oklahoma for years, and there she was left a widow. Four years ago she came to Michigan, and died at the home of her brother in Cambra. She was an earnest Christian, and a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. L. F. WESTFALL.
Felshaw.— Amanda M. Felshaw was born in Essex County, New York, and died at Vassar, Mich., July 7, 1915, aged 81 years, 6 months, and 26 days. She embraced the views held by Seventh-day Adventists with the other members of her father’s family, at Buckabridge, N. Y., in 1865, and remained faithful to the truth to the end of her life. The Bible and the REVIEW were her cherished companions, and she rejoiced in the progress of the cause of God. The closing years of her life were spent with Brother and Sister Charles Clark. Elder Eugene Leland conducted the funeral service. R. H. COGGSHALL.
Snow.— Laura M. Francisco was born March 19, 1862, and died at her home in Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 22, 1915. She was reared in a knowledge of present truth, and remained an active member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to the time of her death. In 1881 she was united in marriage to Brother M. C. Snow. Three children were born to them, but only one is now living, Karl Snow, who is laboring in Honduras, Central America. Through the long months of suffering Sister Snow looked forward to the resurrection morning, when she hoped to meet her Saviour face to face. E. A. SUTHERLAND.
Humphries.— Laura A. Martin was born June 1, 1829, and died Aug. 25, 1915. She was married in 1849 to A. E. McCutchen. Her second husband was Benjamin Humphries. Six of her seven children survive. In 1877 mother first heard present truth, through the preaching of Elder R. M. Kilgore, and later united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Peoria, Tex., and was loyal to the message to the close of her life. Her devotion to the cause of God seemed to increase with declining years, and she greatly enjoyed our recent camp meeting, although in very feeble health. She passed away with a prayer on her lips, and we know she will awake in a little while. Meanwhile we sorrow, but not as those which have no hope. Funeral services were conducted by Elder E. B. Hopkins. W. A. MCCUTCHEN.

Religious Liberty Post Cards, Assorted Colors

Principles of Religious Liberty Illustrated

Cartoons and illustrations are often studied when the principles represented by them would be overlooked if set in type. The cartoon in the daily paper first attracts the attention, and often makes a more lasting impression than the editorial or news item.
Cartoon post cards are especially appropriate in these days of the post card fad, and are carrying their message to many who might otherwise never receive it.
We print herewith the titles of these cards:—
Turning to Caesar.
Religious Legislation Darkens the World.
Religious Bondage.
Religious Despotism.
A Reign of Terror.
The Modern Church.
Sunday “Sabbath” Observance.

Cheering News From Haiti

Elder Albert F. Prieger, who is now laboring on the island of Haiti, sends the following cheering news in reference to the work in that war-troubled island: “I am certainly rejoicing to write you that last Sabbath, August 28, the Lord permitted me to baptize eleven dear souls here. These were brought to a knowledge of the truth through the labors of Brethren M. N. Isaac and Jules Baptiste. We organized them into a church, and now have fifteen to represent the last message of mercy in St. Marc. With the Lord’s help, we hope soon to see a church building erected here, and many more interested ones joining this splendid body of believers.” Brother Prieger asks our prayers for the work in Haiti.

Missionaries Sail for the Orient

Several families of missionaries left for the Orient on the steamship “Persia,” sailing from San Francisco on September 15. Going to Malaysia are Mr. and Mrs. J. Rowland Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Schmidt, who have been connected with Walla Walla College and engaged in evangelistic work in adjacent conferences. Going to China are Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Donaldson and Dr. and Mrs. D. E. Davenport, who completed their work last spring at the Loma Linda Training School for Medical Evangelists. It is to labor as medical missionaries that these doctors enlist for China. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. F. Glascock, of Pacific Union College, also join the company for China. Brother Geo. Harlow and family, who have been in the States on furlough, are returning to their field in China with this party of missionaries. Leaving on the same boat, for India, are Mr. and Mrs. Roland Loasby, who have been in attendance at the Washington Missionary College for several years; also Miss Della Burroway, returning from furlough, having spent the time since the last General Conference in earnest work in behalf of missions.
Surely this is a splendid contribution which the church at home is making to the needy, waiting fields at this time. Yet it must be remembered that the first year must be spent almost entirely by the recruits in language preparation, so that but little help is realized by the field during the first year. Let us pray that these dear ones who have left home and loved ones, to answer the call from the front, may have a safe voyage, and be used by the Lord in the winning of many precious souls.

Special Offer on Questions and Answers

NOTE the special offer made by the publishers of the Signs of the Times on page 21 of this issue. Many will doubtless be glad to avail themselves of the opportunity of obtaining copies of the premium book “Questions and Answers,” by M. C. Wilcox.

Progress in the Danube Union

Brother J. F. Huenergardt, laboring in Hungary, says they are getting along fairly well in their conference work, in spite of war conditions. In the Danube Union he reports about two hundred additions during the present quarter, while their tithe and offerings were never so good as this year.

The Howells Called to Peru

LEAVING New Orleans on September 11, Brother and Sister J. M. Howell sailed for Peru, South America. Brother Howell is a teacher, and is answering the call for help among the Inca Indians of the Lake Titicaca region. During the summer they have been connected with the city dispensary in Washington, gaining an experience in relieving common ailments, so as to be of greater service on reaching their field.

The Vatican and the War

“The Vatican and the War” is the title of a new book of 128 pages, in paper covers, just issued by the Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tenn. The author is Dr. Percy T. Magan, and the price is 25 cents. The readers of the REVIEW AND HERALD will find this a book that will hold their attention to the end. It is one also that can be circulated with much profit among those not of our faith. It may be ordered through the regular channels.

Russia’s Victory Over Liquor

The vast sum of $450,000,000 is what Russia has lost in revenue through the prohibition of the liquor traffic, according to a statement by the Russian minister of finance. But what Russia has lost in revenue from that source she has made up many times over in the bettered condition of her people morally, physically, and financially. The people have sprung up from the bondage of that thralldom, and are banishing poverty as well as intoxication. The tremendous increase in their savings bank deposits at such a time as this speaks volumes for their improved condition; and that which tends to the welfare of the people cannot tend to the detriment of the nation. Whatever may be the outcome of the present war in Europe, Russia has won one victory for her people that means more to them than a victory over their military foes.

The Denominational Yearbook

Review correspondents often send in reports in which the names of workers are wrongly spelled or wrong initials are given. These errors could easily be avoided if each one would provide himself with a copy of the denominational yearbook. This book is well worth the fifty cents which it costs. It not only has a list of all the conferences throughout the world, with the workers in each, and of the educational institutions, publishing houses, and sanitariums, with the employees in each one, and a ministerial directory, but also a survey of the field, which is revised each year up-to-date. We wish to urge all our people, and especially our workers, to provide themselves with the denominational yearbook.

The Amusement Craze

UNDER this heading one of our exchanges sounds an earnest note of warning and protest against the frivolity and amusement hunger of our times. It is a warning that needs to be sounded through the whole world, a warning that none can afford to let go by unheeded, a warning that may not be without point even to many who call themselves Seventh-day Adventists;—
“One of the distressing features of present-day civilization is the continual and increasing craze for entertainment. With countless multitudes of our young people the home seems to have lost all attraction. It is merely a place to sleep, change clothing, and flee from. The streets are filled with a reckless throng hastening in pursuit of entertainment. Theaters, shows, dance halls, pleasure parks, and all places of amusement are packed with crowds who wildly cheer the most daring, suggestive, and indecent exhibitions of human depravity that the officials will permit.
“But worst of all, in many instances, preachers and churches increase and encourage the frenzy, and would make the church a place of entertainment instead of a place of religious instruction, soul rest, and prayer; instead of a place of gospel truth and spiritual power, combating the fearful influences of worldliness, pleasure seeking, and sin. If the young people of this generation are to become fathers and mothers, build homes, rear families, and inculcate into their offspring high moral ideals and the practical lessons of industry, economy, and the spirit of self-sacrifice, patriotism, and Bible Christianity, it is high time that the rising generation become a bit more sensible and serious. They must be impressed that there are some things in the world higher than mere fun; there is something better to seek than pastime and excitement; there is useful knowledge to be acquired, work to be done, a living to be made, a home life to be cultivated, and intelligent, well-poised, cheerful character, capable of serious reflection and sober action, to be developed.
“It is high time the pulpit, the religious press, and that part of the secular press that is capable of serious thinking, protest against the craze after entertainment and fun that is sweeping the rising generation into the rapids of reckless and thoughtless living.”

You have reached the end of this edition.
