"Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth." Luke 21:26.
FIRES
The fire fiend is still making its ravages by sea and land. Fire in Albany, N. Y., Nov. 24. Loss $150,000. Fire at Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 27. Loss $65,000. Fire in Kane City, Pa., in the Butler oil district, Dec. 1, and three-fourths of the town destroyed. Loss $100,000. Besides these a multitude of five and ten thousand dollar fires. London, Dec. 5. A ship supposed to be the Pontiac, from Sunderland for Bombay, has been burned at sea. Twenty-six of her crew perished.
WINDS AND TEMPEST
A Kingston, Jamaica, letter puts the damage to that Island, by the late typhoon, of Nov. 1, at $350,000.
The Hongkong Daily Press, of Oct. 15, says the destruction by the typhoon of Sept. 22, and 23, is much greater than at first estimated,—that not less than 8,000 were killed at Hongkong and Macao. The damage to shipping and property in Hongkong alone is $5,000,000. Large junks broke up like match-boxes. One of the officers who was on board the Pacific Mail steamer Alaska, says that he saw a batch of fully a hundred junks founder all at once.
Nov. 24, a dispatch was sent from Tuscumbia, Alabama, to the president of the United States, asking for aid from army subsistence. The dispatch states that "no language can describe the destitution resulting from the tornado there." A gentleman who had been on the grounds, reported in Cincinnati prints, that the damage to property by the tornado in Tuscumbia alone, is not less than $500,000. Sixty lives were lost, and as many more severely wounded.
Port Colborne, Ont., Nov. 24. The water in the Welland Canal has reached the level of Lake Erie, and the lock-gates have been thrown open by the back water. This never happened before in the canal. The water in the harbor has risen six or seven feet. The storm of last night was one of the most severe ever experienced here. The water dashed over the piers with such force that it was impossible to see the lighthouses, and the keepers found it impossible to get out to light the lamps. Much damage was done to shipping, and to buildings in course of erection.
London, Nov. 29. A violent storm today drove ashore and wrecked the bark Veteran. Many other casualties are reported, with heavy loss of life.
London, Dec. 2. Twenty-one lives were lost during Saturday's and Sunday's gale on the Scottish coast.
Havana, Dec. 4. The Spanish coasting steamer, Tomas Brooks, from Santiago de Cuba for Guantánamo, struck yesterday morning on Morrillo, near Guantánamo, and sunk immediately. About thirty lives were lost.
London, Dec. 2. The steamer La Peata, from Gravesend for Rio Grande del Sud, chartered by Siemens Brothers to repair cable telegraph, foundered off Ushant on the 29th of November, and sixty persons were drowned.
EARTHQUAKES
A strong shock of earthquake was felt at Angeles, Central America, on the 15th of October, followed by some terrible showers of rain.
Several shocks of earthquake visited Winnemucca, Nevada, and the surrounding country, Sunday morning, Nov. 22, between six and seven o'clock. It shook things up very lively. Clocks were stopped by the vibrations, plastered buildings were racked, and the plastering cracked in all directions. Several wells in town which furnished plenty of water the evening previous, were found totally dry soon after the earthquake occurred, and have remained dry ever since. The miners report that they felt eight distinct shocks, two very severe ones, at intervals of about fifteen minutes.
Beverley, Mass., Nov. 25. A shock of earthquake was felt at this place, and in all the adjoining towns in Essex county yesterday. Houses were shaken, stoves and furniture moved, and in one instance a safe was overthrown. Reports like the firing of heavy cannon were heard.
Orena, Nevada, Nov. 29. Two very heavy earthquake shocks were felt here this morning at 6:45 o'clock.
UNREST OF THE WORLD
London, Dec. 1. A Berlin dispatch to the Times, says, Russia contemplates the reassembling next March in St. Petersburg of the International Law conference lately held in Brussels.
London, Dec. 2. A dispatch to the Daily News from Berlin, says it is reported that Great Britain has formally and finally refused to take part in the International Law conference which Russia proposes to reopen at St. Petersburg.
London, Nov. 26. Dispatches from Berlin say that there is reason to believe that the recent interviews between Bismarck and Gortschakoff (Russian) resulted in the removal of their personal differences, and also the adoption of a common policy by Russia and Germany, in consequence of which, the former government will speedily recognize the present government of Spain, Russia's previous refusal to do so having been owing to Gortschakoff's personal influence.
The Yokahama Herald, Nov. 9, contains an account of the settlement of difficulties between China and Japan,—the former paying the latter government $750,000.
Rio Janeiro, Nov. 29. The religious excitement growing out of the conflict between the Catholic clergy and the civil authorities has culminated in serious disturbances in the provinces of Pernambuco and Parahiba. Sympathizers with the Bishops of Para and Pernambuco, recently sentenced for violation of the laws of the Empire, have made riotous demonstrations.
Rome, Dec. 4. The Pope has absolutely refused to recommend Bishops imprisoned in Brazil to resign their Sees as a measure for reconciliation of their differences with the Government.
On the question of separating Church and State, the Central American press, with the exception of two or three ultramontane journals, has declared for the Government.
Bahia, Brazil, Dec. 2. It is reported that a serious revolution has broken out in Uruguay.
Paris, Dec. 3. La Republique Francaise (Radical Republican) says the greatest confusion exists among the various parties in the Assembly. Both the Right and Left consider a dissolution imminent.
It is said the Republican army of Spain now numbers 250,000 men fully armed. Forty thousand more will enter it when they receive their arms bought in the United States.
The Republicans of Spain met with a defeat at Valencia. Six hundred were killed, and four hundred and fifty taken prisoners.
PAPAL CONTROVERSY
It is reported that Italy is about to issue a memorandum to the European powers, calling attention to the danger to Italy from the intrigues of the Vatican, declaring that the Government can no longer tolerate the Pope's permanent residence in its own capital, and urging the Powers to discontinue the practice of maintaining ambassadors at the Holy See.
Germany Withdraws Her Legation from the Vatican
Berlin, Dec. 4. In the Reichstag to-day a letter from Bismarck was read, in which he announces, in the name of the Emperor, and in accordance with the Federal Council, that the sum for the maintenance of the German Legation at the Vatican is struck out of the Budget.
The Gladstone-Manning Controversy
New York, Nov. 28. From the latest European files we glean the following: The Gladstone pamphlet continues to excite general newspaper comment in England. The Pall Mall Gazette says in one respect it has proved a success which even its author could hardly have anticipated. His fellow citizens among the Roman Catholics and clergy to whom Gladstone addressed his expostulations, have responded to them with remarkable freedom of speech, and in a manner which clearly shows the variance between themselves and their spiritual leaders. Lord Camers repudiates the claims of Papacy to his allegiance, and agrees with everything Gladstone has said on the subject. With a single reservation he admits that there is a change in the obligation of Roman Catholics to the civil powers in consequence of Vatican decrees. Lord Acton holds that the civil allegiance of Catholics has been divided from time immemorial. The Times considers that Gladstone's expostulations have produced the result at which its author aimed, namely, eliciting evidence of the profound dissatisfaction with which the recent developments of Papal policy are regarded by Roman Catholics themselves. The earnest conviction of such men as Lord Camers and Lord Acton, that the Papal claims conflict with their loyalty, will be felt as decisive testimony of the real character of Ultramontanism.
London, Nov. 30, 6 A. M. A circular letter from Archbishop Manning was read in all the Catholic churches of this diocese yesterday, declaring that all persons who do not accept the dogma of Papal Infallibility cease to be Catholics.
Rome, Dec. 1. Archbishop Manning today obtained an audience with the Pope, who, in receiving him, expressed the fullest confidence in the progress of Catholicism in England, despite the present misrepresentations of the policy of the church.
AMERICAN CARDINALS
A dispatch from London, Nov. 20, says: At the Papal Vatican council two American Bishops will be raised to Cardinals.
SAN FRANCISCO CRIME
According to the criminal record of San Francisco, for Nov., as reported in the S. F. Chronicle, there were 1,590 arrests for various offences against the law. Among these there were 3 murders, 10 attempts to murder, 217 assaults.
The smallest post office in the world is an old beaten and battered barrel suspended by a rusty chain from the outermost rock which overhangs the Straits of Magellan, opposite Terra del Fuego. Every ship which passes assists in distributing the mails left in this solitary spot.
Missionary Work.
By J. N. L.
THE Christian Union in the following statements shows some of the difficulties connected with endeavors to christianize heathen lands.
“Rev. E. C. Johnson, an ex-officer of the British army in India, and now an Independent Missionary, has recently accomplished the dangerous feat of visiting some of the tribes in Central Asia to explore the ground. He narrowly escaped death from the fiercer Mussulmans, and wherever he went he was obliged to disguise himself as a native. The result of his observations he gives as follows: ‘I do not think the country is so firmly closed to the Christian in particular as it is to the European as such, the principal danger being the political position of every Englishman. Were protection demanded by the British Government for their missionaries only, thus trusting to subdue by the Cross alone, I have but little doubt but that it would be granted. Great harm is done by the haughty and overbearing manner of the British in their own territory, and also by unprincipled men who become Mussulmans when they journey in those countries. Were the people of the frontier to see our religion exemplified more, I firmly believe that in many parts the lowly messenger of Christ would find a ready door open.’”
“It would seem to be about as difficult to introduce the pure Gospel into Austria as in to any heathen country. For instance, an apparently careful correspondent of the English Independent states that in the city of Vienna colportage is practically impossible. Books cannot be sold from door to door. Copies may be carried around as specimens and orders taken, and even this can only be done by a person who has obtained a special license that has to be renewed every six months. The distribution of the Scriptures and tracts is out of the question, except at the risk of fine and imprisonment. Only recently an evangelist was fined five guilders for giving away a tract. As the Protestant Rationalistic pastors and the Ultramontane priests rule matters there, all efforts to spread a purer religion have little show. This correspondent commends the experiment now being made by the three or four missionaries of the American Board stationed in Austria, who are carefully examining the ground and feeling their way among the people. ‘Their position,’ he writes ‘is one demanding great faith and patience on their part, as well as the prayerful sympathy of all who feel an interest in an undertaking so eminently heroic.’”
If men will work with such earnestness under persecution what crosses are we bearing? May we be stirred to activity.

Sister Markham writes, in a business letter, Nov. 30. "Our little organization meets every Sabbath to worship. We have a Bible class, and all take hold nobly to bear their part. Bro. Kundert is our leader. He is zealous. At our Quarterly meeting we hope to hear from Bro. Loughborough."
Bro. Kundert writes, in a letter to Bro. Canright, Dec. 1st. "Last Sabbath we had a melting season. There was a good turn out of the brethren and sisters, and the Lord met us by his good and blessed spirit. I enjoy his presence day and night. O how good to have Jesus rule our sinful hearts. I get up in the night to pray and weep. O for more consecration to God.
"We have rented a hall now, but I am afraid it is too small for preaching purposes. We rejoice to hear of the work in San Francisco. The Lord is mighty. He can work and none can hinder. O that God's people would only live nearer to him. Pray for us."

Bro. Gourley writes from Monterey Co., Nov. 25, sending three new subscribers and $4, and says: "Mrs. T. wishes her paper changed to Sioux City. She is keeping the commandments, and says the Advent doctrines are but little known at that place, and she will endeavor to do all the good she can with the paper."
"As for myself, I hail with delight the visits of the Signs. While I am debarred from associating with God's chosen people, the Signs and Review come in to fill up the void and cheer me in the lonely hours. God speed your efforts, brethren. I will do what I can to extend the circulation of our excellent paper."

A Call for Prayer and Consecration
By W. E. Lowry
From Sister Lowry.
Being deprived of the happy privilege of meeting with the brethren and sisters, I will beg all to remember me in their prayers. When last I met with the church I rejoiced to see their renewal of grace since the camp meeting. That meeting was a privilege I could not enjoy. I only heard four sermons at camp meeting. One I heard from brother Canright on Christian duties, which was a fortune to me. I told my husband when I returned home, that I had found by going to the camp meeting, that I was only half an Adventist, but that now I was one complete. Before going I found some objections. Now I saw it was for want of humility in me and a full consecration to God's will. I have since made up my mind to make a full surrender, and try to show my faith by my works. I hope to be able to do some good in this glorious work.

What They Say.
Passing Calamities.
THE past three years have been marked with frequent and distressing calamities in this country, and throughout the world. The great Chicago fire of 1871 was preceded by the desolating forest fires in the North-west, and followed by the conflagration in Boston. An unusual number of villages and towns have been burned during the same period. The Mill River disaster in Massachusetts, the floods of last spring in the lower Mississippi, and the terrible inundation at Alleghany are fresh in all memories. Storms of unwonted severity have swept other parts of the land. Drouth has joined with fire and flood to blast the hopes and diminish the possessions of men. Distressing and prolonged financial embarrassment paralyzes industry and trade. Several appalling "ocean horrors," have added to the burden of public and private distress. The ravages of the grasshoppers in the Western States have occasioned wide-spread suffering, as well as disappointment and loss. Still heavier judgments have fallen on other countries. Persia, India, and Asia Minor, have been smitten with famine, and thousands have died of starvation. Earthquakes, unprecedented in number, and many of them of great severity, have occurred in various parts of the world. Even the secular press and scientific authorities have remarked the unusual number and severity of these calamities.
The Bible assumes, without argument, that the hand of God is in all these dispensations. It speaks of the thunder as "the voice of the Lord;" of the clouds as his chariot, and the winds as his messengers; of the locusts as his "army," and of drouth as his "staying the bottles of heaven." It connects all these dispensations with the sins of men, assuring us that "the curse causeless does not come." It records the occurrence of similar calamities in the past in connection with great events in the history of redemption. "Earthquakes and famines and pestilences" preceded the destruction of Jerusalem, and are to precede similar manifestations of the kingdom of God, until Christ's final coming at the end of the world. The voice of these calamities to this nation is a solemn call to repentance. "The Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land." We look for much and it comes to little, because, according to the expressive image of the Hebrew prophet, God "blows upon it." It is the duty of ministers of religion and the conductors of the religious press to interpret to the people these "signs of the times." Lovers of Christ and their country should remember that such times, above all others, are the auspicious seasons for lifting up a testimony for truth, and pressing forward every movement of reform.
"When God's judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." When after years of failure, the earth and heavens promise once more to reward his labors, the prudent husbandman stints his household and denies himself, that he may have seed to sow in hope of harvest. When business is paralyzed, when "the fields yield no meat," when riches "fly away as an eagle toward heaven," it is the very time to "sow beside all waters." That the church in America is not wholly insensible to the opportunity and the duty which it imposes, appears in the fact that her offerings last year were hardly, if at all, affected by the unprosperous condition of the country.—Christian Statesman.

The Signs of the Times
By Editor
OAKLAND, CAL., FIFTH-DAY, DEC. 17, 1874.
THIS WEEK'S PAPER.
BRO. WHITE'S article, number two, Our Present Position, which we give on the first page, is a clear and concise statement relative to the past Advent history, worthy of a careful perusal by all. The articles on Ministration of Angels and Saints' Inheritance, each introduce an advance of clear argument on these respective subjects.
Bro. Canright's article on the Morality of the Sabbath, presents a class of thoughts we do well to ponder. Men are prone to reason upon the Sabbath question that man's wants require a day of rest. Bro. C. is showing conclusively that God designed his Sabbath as an index, or sign, ever pointing man to his Creator, a higher object than simply man's selfish interest alone.
The editorial on the rise of the Seventh-day Adventists is full of interest to our readers. The Missionary Department is quite full this week, but its words are not useless. Read and practice them. In short, we have aimed to have something instructive or encouraging in every paragraph of the paper. We are ourselves encouraged at the evident tokens of advance in this cause everywhere.
Our receipts in this number, show a little waking up to furnish the material aid necessary to publish the truth. Of this, we may say as Paul said in his time, when rejoicing that the church were forward to do their duty in the cause, "Not that we desire a gift, but fruit that may abound to your account." As we take hold with our means, according to our ability, to furnish the material aid necessary to push on the work of truth, our own interest is increased, and we shall find a verification of the Lord's promise by Malachi. As we bring all our tithes into the storehouse the Lord promises on his part to "pour" out a blessing. Let us all read the truth, learn our duty, find the place where we can take hold in the work and do our part faithfully and well.
Situation in Europe.
THE European situation is very obscure. A remarkably competent observer tells us what it is in Italy. In France it is always volcanic. French politics are, in truth, the permanent revolution, because the real question is not one of administration, of policy, or expediency, but the nature and form of the Government itself. In Spain it is not less doubtful. Meanwhile some of the wisest heads in Europe feel that great events are now preparing. Just 300 years ago Sir Philip Sydney said, "I cannot think there is any man possessed of common understanding who does not see to what these rough storms are driving, by which all Christendom has been agitated now these many years." So, now, the enormous armaments, the frequent interviews of monarchs, the tone of the press, the deadly hostility of Germany and France.
The brief fury of the Commune, the position of the Papacy, and a hundred other signs announce to the coolest observers the imminence of new wars, from which democracy, or popular government, will emerge crushed or all-powerful. This is evidently the view of Mr. Disraeli, who said in a late debate in Parliament that "the great crisis of the world is nearer than some suppose." His words, taken in connection with his speech at Edinburgh last Autumn, in which he described what he called the spirit of the age, show that the British Prime Minister believes great events to be imminent.—Harper's Weekly.
It is not a little strange that while all the great European Powers are loudly and ostentatiously proclaiming a peace policy, they are at the same time making warlike preparations upon a most extensive scale. Russia, France and Germany are all increasing their military establishments, adopting fresh improvements in arms and organization, and acting as if they were looking forward to some terrible struggle in the near future. If they really mean peace, their course of action is utterly inexplicable.—S. F. Chronicle.
Although there is peace in Europe, the nations are preparing for war, as may be inferred from the fact that the cannon-maker, Krupp of Prussia, has so many orders, that he is effecting a loan of seven millions five hundred thousand dollars to enlarge his manufactory.—Exchange.
