2. That we express our thanks to the General Conference for the help sent to this State, and we invite Brn. Lane and Kenyon to continue their labors in this Conference.

3. That in common with our brethren in other States, our hearts are cheered by the encouraging reports of the success of the cause of present truth, especially on the Pacific Coast and in Europe.

4. That having a truth which is plain beyond all contradiction, we will calculate on nothing else but its success wherever it is presented, and its final triumph not far in the future; and we pledge to its promulgation our efforts and our means accordingly.

Whereas, The prosperity of a Conference depends in a large measure upon the faithfulness and promptness of church clerks and treasurers in performance of their duties; therefore,

Resolved, 1. That we enjoin upon these officers that they take especial pains to perform their duties in such a manner as the Constitution requires.

2. That the President of the Conference, either personally or through such persons as he may appoint, be required to look after records and accounts of such clerks and treasurers and see that they are promptly and correctly kept.

Nobody to Blame But Oneself

THERE'S nothing kills a man so soon as having nobody to find fault with but himself. It's a deal the best way of being master to let somebody else do the ordering, and keep the blaming in your own hands. It would save many a man a stroke, I believe.

Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”

Died, Sept. 25, 1875, near New Franklin, Wayne Co., Ill., Mary E. Porter, in the 65th year of her age. She embraced Christianity, and united with the M. E. church in early life. One year ago she attended a tent-meeting at Greenup, Ill. She often spoke of the good meeting she enjoyed, saying that she was reminded, as regards close practical preaching and plain dress, of early Methodism. She leaves many friends to mourn their loss, but not as those who have no hope.

A. J. & MINERVA J. SCOTT.

Died, of measles, at Mapleton, Faribault Co., Minn., Sept. 26, 1875, Rachel, youngest daughter of Bro. and sister Olway, aged one year and six months. We mourn, yet not without hope; for we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and even so those who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Jer. 31:15-17.

To the Brethren of the Minn. Conference.

At our Camp-meeting in 1874 it was decided to purchase three 40 feet tents and send them out into the field, and steps were taken to do so. Subscriptions were taken at that time to pay for these tents, and the pledges were to be paid in one year. Your Committee borrowed the money and purchased the tents, and they have now been in the field two seasons. But up to this time not one quarter of those pledges has been paid. Now, we would say to those whose subscriptions are still unpaid, Your pledges are in the hands of the director of your district, and we hope all who can will soon meet them, so that we can be released from the debt that is on our hands.

From our last camp-meeting our preaching brethren started out into new fields with these tents trusting in God. The Lord has blessed their efforts. Between sixty and seventy persons have embraced the truth as the result of their labors this season. But those who are laboring in new fields are poor and have families to care for. Winter is coming on and our Conference treasury is empty. Not more than two or three churches have paid their S. B. since our camp-meeting. The first quarter of our Conference year is past, and we hope that each church treasurer will forward his church pledges to our Conference treasurer so that the urgent calls for means by those who have labored through the summer can be met. Brethren and sisters, do the best you can in this time of need, and God will bless you.

An Estimate of Mediums.

COL. OLCOTT, in an article entitled “Occultism and its Critics,” pronounces the following undoubtedly righteous judgment on the great mass of spirit mediums:—

“When the great army of perspirational and inspirational speakers, with numerous honorable and evident exceptions, will be crowded off the rostrum and back to the wash-tub and the manure-fork, at which alone they are of practical benefit to society.”

A Singular Phenomenon.

BRO. S. W. PACK writes from Cedar Co., Nebraska:—

“A hill at Iona, Dixon Co., Neb., on the banks of the Missouri river, commenced smoking two years ago, and now I am told it is burning in full blast. It is about thirty miles from here.”

A Serious Suggestion.

UNDER this head the Detroit Evening News gives from one of its correspondents the following suggestion. Who can account for it?

“As the Sabbath question is just now in order, will you allow a stranger-visitor to your beautiful city to say a few words in your columns? There should be a Sabbath of rest for man and beast, where should be no labor but of mercy or necessity. Such a Sabbath would be just, expedient, and unspeakably beneficial to all. That day should be Saturday—when Christian and Jew could worship simultaneously; nor can the Christian give one solitary reason against such a change. By Bible authority God appointed that day—gave the reason therefor, and specified the manner thereof. Christians have themselves set the example of trampling upon the decalogue. This has begotten disrespect toward them among the masses. Let them unite in a petition to the legislature for such an act, to wit: A law making Saturday a Sabbath of rest to man and beast, it would speedily be enacted, and it would be the highest and holiest day ever registered in an American calendar. There are good people in all nationalities, and the reasonableness of such a law would command their respect and observance; and where there is harmony among the good, there need be no fear of the bad. ”

Explanation.

I wish, through the REVIEW, to inform those who paid for the numbers of the Free Press, containing reports of sermons preached on our camp-ground, that the papers have never reached me. I understand they were sent from the office at Burlington, but they were lost. C. W. STONE.

German Tracts.

By B. L. Whitney

B. L. WHITNEY: In answer to your inquiry for German tracts, we would state that the Association is now taking active steps to have an assortment of our works issued in German, which will be brought about as soon as may be. Due notice will be given as fast as issued.

Europe's Fears of Territorial Loss Among Nations

THIS is the way of it: Turkey is afraid that Russia will take Constantinople and kick the Crescent out of Europe. Russia is afraid that Prussia will take Finland and Poland. Austria is afraid that Germany will take Austria. Germany is afraid France will take Alsace-Lorraine, and France is afraid that Germany will take the province of Champagne, as Von Moltke’s soldiers got such a first-class taste of its sparkling wine during the 1870 campaign. England is afraid her scattered provinces will take themselves, and leave her only a nutshell to crack in her own little isle. Spain is afraid the United States will take Cuba. The United States alone seem calm, hopeful, and contemplative, afraid of nothing but dull times.—Christian at Work.

Water-Spouts Flood and Destroy Los Cruces, New Mexico

The village of Los Cruces, New Mexico, was recently visited by two tremendous water-spouts, the second following the first after an interval of two days. Rain fell in torrents, and the streets were flooded with water to the depth of five feet. Strange to say, no lives were lost, but eighty houses were hurled to the ground. The damage done will exceed $150,000.

Grasshopper Ravages Minnesota Wheat Fields

THE grasshopper visited twenty-eight counties and 204 towns in Minnesota, and destroyed or damaged 240,417 acres of wheat.
