The following letter is sufficiently explanatory of itself, especially since it was sent twice, with stamped and addressed envelope, receiving no answer:— MIDLAND, MICH., Sept. 23, 1900. Rev. P. S. Henson, D. D., Editor of Baptist Teacher. DEAR BROTHER: In your notes on the Sunday-school lesson for last Sunday,—subject, “Watchfulness,”—you have these words: “They did not indeed withdraw themselves into conventicles, as some modern Adventists have done, there waiting in their ascension robes for the Lord to come and take them home.”—Baptist Teacher, page 548. The Adventists deny ever having used or made “ascension robes,” and have challenged the world to produce one clear case. You doubtless have this information, or you certainly would not have made such a statement in print. I am much interested in this matter, and will be grateful to you if you will send me the information you possess. Please tell me exactly when these robes were worn. Inclosed is a stamped and addressed envelope. Pastor First Baptist Church of Midland. “LIVING FOUNTAINS”
By Leroy Dean
“Living Fountains” is a beautiful work on education, from creation to the present time; and especially of Christian education. It plainly shows the rise and the progress of both the Christian and the heathen system of education. Many parents who have been much troubled because the importance of Christian schools, with a reform in education, has been urged upon them, will find in “Living Fountains” much soul comfort, and the very best information. When I first received the book, I merely looked at it a little, but recently I have searched it from the first page to the last; and I can certify that every teacher, minister, and canvasser will find in “Living Fountains” valuable help. Canvassers will find the thoughts contained in this book of much help to them in conversing with the educated class. It certainly should be read by every Seventh-day Adventist, and believed by all. Russian Unrest Spreads as Students and Workmen Riot
The Russian government has proclaimed “a state of siege at Odessa, Kieff, and Kharkoff, because of riotous demonstrations on the part of students.” In Moscow several thousand workmen have joined the students there in “erecting barricades, and serious riots have occurred.” M. Bogoliepoff, Russian Minister of Public Instruction, who was recently shot by “a former student of the University of Moscow,” died of his wound the 15th inst. “The students’ agitation in Moscow has become extremely serious. The schools are closed, and a state of siege virtually exists.” Russia may yet find herself “over a volcano” of her own at home. A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE IN WORKING FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS
Some time ago, as the readers of the REVIEW will remember, we published a letter from Brother and Sister E. E. Coulson, of Archer, Fla. In this letter Brother and Sister Coulson said that they had been praying that the Lord would show them what to do to help the big fund for the relief of the schools. They decided that God wanted them to give a month's earnings to this fund, and they wrote, asking me to choose which month it should be. Brother Coulson is a dentist. I did not know anything about which were good and which were bad months in the dentist business, but I prayed over the matter, and chose the month of November. Later we received the following letter from Brother Coulson, inclosing draft for two hundred dollars for the relief of the schools—the proceeds of a month's work. Here is the letter in full. Are there not other brethren and sisters who will give a month's work for the relief of the schools? ARCHER, FLA., Dec. 16, 1900 DEAR BROTHER: The time has come when I can make returns for the month my wife and I devoted to work for the relief of the schools fund. We are pleased to report that the Lord has been with and prospered us in our effort, not only in enabling us to gather of the material things of this world, but in bestowing spiritual blessings as well. He has given us health and strength, so that we have not missed a day from labor for the object we had in view; and we feel to praise Him for His wonderful goodness in giving us, humble instruments though we be, and unworthy, the privilege to thus work in His cause. We fully realize that the Lord does not need our money,—“the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof,”—but we need Him, and as His stewards, having received talents, though but one, we must be faithful in the use we make of it, and render to Him His own, with the increase, knowing that He is “the giver of every good and perfect gift,” and that in this way He has given us an opportunity to express a little of our appreciation of His great gift to us—His love-gift—the gift of His Son. The proceeds for my dental work for November was one hundred and seventy-five dollars. We add twenty-five dollars as a thank offering: thus you will find inclosed a check for two hundred dollars, one hundred for each of us, as my wife and I are equal partners in all things. —Bread riots recently occurred in Ripoll, Spain. —Governor Wells, of Utah, vetoed the Evans bill favoring polygamists. —A Russian regiment has just been ordered to proceed from Port Arthur to Tien-tsin. —England will buy 100,000 more horses in the United States for her troops in South Africa. —Sir Edwin Arnold, the English poet, author of “The Light of Asia,” has become totally blind. —Within one month Andrew Carnegie has given $11,700,000 for libraries throughout the country. —John D. Rockefeller recently sold all his iron mines, railway and lake transportation facilities, to the great steel combine. —The shops of Marseilles, France, are closed “for fear of pillage by riotous dock workers.” Troops routed 2,000 of the strikers. —Rev. F. B. Meyer, of London, arrived in New York the 15th inst., and “will make an evangelistic tour with W. R. Moody, of Northfield.” —The miners’ convention, now in session at Hazelton, Pa., “threatens a general strike on April 1, if the operators refuse to confer with it.” —Vickers’ Sons and Maxim, London, have “bought the rights of the Holland patent on submarine boats for the world, except the United States.” —General MacArthur has announced the surrender of “Mariano Trías, the only lieutenant general in the insurgent army, with nine officers and 199 well-armed men.” —In view of Russia’s exactions regarding Manchuria, “Li Hung Chang has appealed to the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan to intervene in China’s behalf.” —Kitchener has reported the killing of Philip Botha, brother of the Boer commander-in-chief, and also says that the “Boers of Orange River Colony have disbanded and scattered.” —The United States now has “forty-two warships in Asiatic waters, with the ‘New York’ en route, and the ‘Philadelphia’ and ‘Iowa’ on the Pacific, at San Francisco.” —Adjutant General Corbin recently sent an order to General Chaffee “directing evacuation of China by American troops by the end of April, leaving only a legation guard of 150 men at Peking.” —Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Minister to the United States, delivered the convocation address before the University of Chicago, the 19th inst., in which he said many true things about civilization—Chinese and modern. —The Union Pacific Railroad has obtained control of the Southern Pacific Railroad. This transaction is “the most gigantic railroad deal in the history of the country. The two roads control 15,000 miles of track.” —It seems that “a monument is to be erected by the French government to Nicot, who introduced tobacco into France, and gave nicotine its name.” The monument will stand “in front of the government tobacco factory in Paris.” —The area of Siberia is about 4,825,000 square miles, while that of the United States, including Alaska, is only 3,550,000 square miles. The present population of Siberia is about what that of the United States was 100 years ago. —Another negro, accused of crime, but unconvicted, was recently lynched in Tennessee; another, near Spellman, Ga.; and a negro woman in Tennessee was killed by a white mob “on suspicion of being an accomplice in a small theft.” —Dispatches state that the “transfer from military to civil government in the Philippines will take place about June 30. Judge Taft will probably be the governor, and General Chaffee will be under his orders as military commander-in-chief.” —A Washington dispatch states that the Russian ambassador there “has been learning accurately of the naval strength of the United States in Asiatic waters;” and that “this is an indication that Russia is attempting to learn just what she may have to face if the worst should come.” —The Boer general, Botha, has rejected General Kitchener’s terms for peace. The war will go on. —The Tennessee Legislature has enacted a law forbidding the education of white and colored children together. —An exchange states that the General Assembly of Indiana has enacted a law “forbidding Christian Scientists and Dowieites from attempting to heal or treat patients without having undergone an examination before the State medical board.” —Speaking of the students’ riots in Russia, the Springfield Republican says that “the lethargy into which the liberal movement in Russia has fallen of late years is due somewhat, probably, to the general reaction against democracy throughout the world.” —Rev. Arthur Edwards, D. D., editor of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, and “senior editor” of the Methodist Church, died at his home, 2818 Indiana Ave., Chicago, Wednesday evening, the 20th inst., at 9 o’clock. The cause of his death was la grippe, followed by rheumatism. He was born at Norwalk, Ohio, Nov. 23, 1834. —In a late speech in the German Reichstag, Von Buelow, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, said: “That we must advance our interests in eastern Asia is a fact which has become historic. It was in that sense I said three months ago that we must have our place in the sunshine. I say to-day that we will keep that place in the sunshine, and not let ourselves be pushed into the shade.” —Rev. Elijah Kellogg, author of that well-known oration, “Spartacus to the Gladiators,” and of numerous clean books for boys, recently died at his Maine coast home, Harpswell, at the age of 88 years. He was born at Portland in 1813, and went to sea when but a boy. From 1855-65 he was chaplain of the Boston Seamen’s Friend Society, or “the sailor’s preacher.” Of him it is said: “He was as good a farmer as preacher or writer.” —Two more attempts have been made upon the life of the czar of Russia, who has “fled from his capital, and is now secreted in his imperial palace at Gatschine, thirty miles from St. Petersburg.” Latest dispatches from Berlin, Germany, state that “sedition is rampant in Russia,” and that “the empire is on the verge of revolution.” “Everything goes to show the existence of a gigantic nihilist plot, beside which the clashes between students and Cossacks pale into insignificance.” “Dark hints are given that at the head of the conspiracy is a high official so powerful that the secret police, despite convincing proof, hesitate to proceed against him.” —In his recent article in the Independent, on “China and the Missionaries,” Herr von Brandt says: “Responsible statesmen in America and England, who are in a position to know the true facts of all cases, can be quoted in support of my argument. Secretary Olney directed the American minister resident at Seoul, in January, 1896, to advise the missionaries to limit themselves austerely to missionary work, instruction in schools, preaching the gospel, the care of souls and the sick; and, where this advice is not enforced by the directors of mission organizations, it needs to be by the envoys of governments, if their countries are not to be dragged into discomforting entanglements with the east Asiatics.” Mr. Olney evidently “had a good working grasp of that phase of the Chinese situation four years before the Boxer uprising.” —Serious trouble between Britain and Russia is brewing in China. The 15th inst. some British workmen were working on a railway siding at Tien-tsin, when they were driven off by Russian soldiers. This brought two companies of British troops to defend the British workmen. Then the Russians sent still more troops. Both sides then decided to await orders from their home governments. The Russians pretend that the railway siding in dispute belongs to them. The British and Russians still face each other. The matter was then referred to Count von Waldersee, head of the allied forces in China; but, according to the latest dispatches from London (March 21), Wogack, the Russian general, “has refused to accept Count von Waldersee’s arbitration at Tien-tsin, and demands that the British not only withdraw, but apologize for removing the Russian flag. General Barrow refuses to do either, and in so refusing has the support of the British government. British re-enforcements are being sent.” In a dispatch from St. Petersburg a French diplomat is quoted as saying that “an Anglo-Russian war is impossible, as Russia need only threaten to support the Boers to bring Great Britain to her knees.” With the Manchuria problem looming up, however, the Tien-tsin incident will be regarded secondary, and the Manchurian affair is now regarded “the plague-spot in Anglo-Russian relations.” The British and Russian troops may withdraw from the territory, “pending decision on conflicting international claims.” IOWA CHURCHES MEAN BUSINESS
The following letter from E. G. Olsen tells of more churches that are putting forth effort for the relief of Union College. If all churches would only work as hard as these churches are working, we should not need relief for the schools:— Dear Brother Magan: Many thanks for your kind letter, which was received in due time. I am thankful to have a part in this grand work. I believe Iowa will do its part. The territory Brother—and I have is being worked, and the people are responding nobly. I have excellent reports from some of the workers. Of course it will take a strong pull to sell our books, our allotted number, but with the help of God I expect it will be done. How precious are Sister White’s words to us at this time. How good the Lord is in proposing this blessed work to us. That leaflet which you got up is just the thing. I am indeed thankful that we soon shall have our Danish book. I HAVE VISITED TWELVE CHURCHES, AND THEY ALL HAVE VOTED TO TAKE THEIR ALLOTTED NUMBER, TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN BOOKS. This means a big pull. The Lord greatly bless you in your noble work. VISIT TO GERMANY AND THE BRITISH CONFERENCE
By O. A. Olsen
After learning of the postponement of the General Conference, I decided to take a little more time before sailing for America. Just as I was about to leave Denmark, I received an urgent request from Elder Conradi to attend a council and meeting of their Conference Committee at Friedensau, Germany, which I decided to do, leaving Copenhagen, January 14. I found Brother Conradi just recovering from a severe attack of influenza. As a consequence of his continuous labors and long journeys, being many times much exposed, he was taken ill, and laid up at Basle for several days. But he was now better, and able to preside at the council. The work at Friedensau has made considerable progress since I was there last summer during the camp-meeting. The new sanitarium building is inclosed, and makes a good appearance. The school is also in progress, with about thirty students. Quite a large number of those who requested admittance could not be accommodated; indeed, the accommodations are not adequate for the number already in attendance, but the students are so anxious to receive the benefit of the instruction that they are willing to put up with many inconveniences. I fear that the importance of these missionary schools in these large and important fields is not fully appreciated. If it were, it seems to me that more would be done to place the schools in a position where they could more fully meet the great demand. This is a matter that will need most careful consideration. The German Conference has done nobly in raising funds and starting the work as they have, and there is a large number of noble young persons who ought to be given the opportunity they so much desire in order that they may be fitted for such work as the Lord may have in store for them. From Friedensau I went to London, England, arriving there January 19. I was much pleased to meet my sons there, and also the families of Professor Prescott and Dr. Waggoner, with many others. Heretofore I had not had an opportunity to spend any time in this Conference; and as the time of the General Conference had been postponed, and being urged much by the brethren, I decided to remain a while and visit a number of places. After holding one meeting with the North London church, I visited Leytonstone, where Professor Prescott was conducting an institute, giving instruction to a number of brethren and sisters who were preparing to engage in the work. With the assistance of Elder Champness and others, he also conducted a series of evening meetings in a new tabernacle, which they have lately erected. Quite a church has been raised up at this place, and others are accepting the truth from time to time. I also visited Balham, where Elders Washburn and Meredith are conducting a series of meetings. Here, too, I found an interesting company, and had a pleasant visit with the brethren. A goodly number was present at the meeting, and we were glad to learn that some souls have lately decided to follow the Lord. In company with Elder Prescott, I visited Birmingham, where Elders Andross and Haughey have been engaged in work since last June. The annual Conference was also held at this place. Since the beginning of the work in June, about forty persons have accepted the truth of the Lord, and the interest is still good. I was much pleased with the appearance of the company, and greatly enjoyed our meeting with them on Sabbath and Sunday. I found Brother Haughey and Brother Andross and his family in good health, and enjoying much of the blessing of God in their work. It will also be remembered that the food factory established at Salford Mills was destroyed by fire, which was a severe blow to this new enterprise. For a time it was feared that it would have to be abandoned. But through the energy and earnest efforts put forth by the brethren in charge, and the blessing of the Lord attending them, they have now settled at Birmingham, and begun anew the manufacture of health foods. Success has crowned their efforts, and the prospects for the future are good. Brother H. G. Butler is now manager, and he, with his co-workers, is sparing no pains to make the enterprise a success. At Birmingham I parted with Brother Prescott, he returning to London, while I went on to Liverpool, where Elders M. A. Altman and Harry Armstrong are conducting meetings. I spent three days at this place, visiting among the friends, and meeting with them in the evenings. Although the attendance was not large, we enjoyed some very precious seasons. I also spent a day here just before sailing for America, and during this time three persons were baptized, and others have begun the observance of the Sabbath. Although the work is not moving rapidly, still there is a steady advancement and a growing interest. I then went to Belfast, Ireland, arriving there Thursday morning, January 31. There I met Brother William Hutchinson and his family, who for some time, with the assistance of other workers, have been laboring in this city. They have a portable tabernacle, which they move from place to place as circumstances indicate. I spent four days at this place, and during the time made a short visit to Banbridge, a short distance out. On week-day evenings our meetings were attended by forty or more, and on Sunday by a much larger number. On the Sabbath our attendance was nearly sixty, and all but five of these had fully connected themselves with the truth. They were an intelligent class of people, and seemed to have their whole hearts in the work. It has taken time to get a foothold in this place, and the effort has met with many difficulties; but the present outlook for the work is encouraging, and we earnestly pray that the blessing of the Lord may attend it, and that a large church may be raised up there to glorify the Lord. February 5 I returned to Liverpool, and on the 6th, in company with others, embarked for America. The Lord gave us a favorable passage, and we were thankful to land safely in New York, February 14. I have no discouraging word to bring from the work in Europe. While we meet with difficulties and obstacles, still it is the Lord’s work, and by the power of His grace it is bound to triumph. Special discouragements have met us during the last year in Scandinavia, but even these things will prove a blessing, and will result in the advancement of the cause of truth and the glory of God’s name. To Him be all the praise. O. A. OLSEN. CHICAGO CHINESE MISSION
By C. S. Potts; Jessie Roach
THERE is a work being done in Chicago that, although unostentatious and quiet in its character, is bearing visible fruit for the kingdom. This work has been persistently, faithfully, and prayerfully carried on for the last seven years. No one connected with this work is rich in this world's goods, and the procuring of money to meet the expense of light, heat, and rent is no small part of the burden; in fact, it has been uphill work since the start, yet God has so signally blessed it that there could be no thought of giving it up. The work we refer to is that being done among the Chinese; a school is conducted every Sunday evening at 262 State St., where the students are taught to read and speak the English language, and are instructed in the present truth. The eagerness with which these young men take advantage of the opportunity afforded them, and the interest they manifest in the truths of the Third Angel's Message are indeed gratifying to those carrying on the enterprise; but it is especially encouraging when one after another accepts the truth taught. Such instances are not infrequent, and are always accompanied by a firm, unwavering adherence to the principles of truth and a strictness in Sabbath observance that nothing but a living faith can produce. The teachers give their time, and the students contribute what they can. Previously to the recent trouble with China we were able to interest outsiders who, well knowing the nature of our work, helped us; but since the trouble, such prejudice has arisen that it is impossible to get help from that source.

By GEO. O. STATES.
Since coming to Colorado, I have visited several of our churches, holding a few meetings at each place. Since our Conference I have canvassed some for “Christ’s Object Lessons,” but on account of smallpox have not done as much as I hope to later. I am now laboring in Boulder, and am finding some who are interested in Bible readings. One man and his wife, who are taking readings, first became interested in our truth by the pastor of his church asking him to conduct a Bible reading on the gospel plan of supporting the Lord’s work. He studied his Bible, and gave them a strong reading on the tithing system, which made quite a stir among the members of the popular church. When the minister reproved him for taking the tithing system so literally, the brother replied that he must stand by the word of God, which was according to the articles of faith of their church. Well, said the minister, if you are going strictly to follow the Word, you can not stop on the tithing: there is more Bible for keeping the seventh day than for tithing; and if you go on in that way, you will have to be a Seventh-day Adventist. The brother replied that he could only follow the Word, no matter where it led him. As he studied his Bible, he soon became convinced that the seventh day is the Sabbath, and began to keep it, and for some time has been attending our Sabbath service. For the last month I have been holding readings with him and his wife, and they seem to drink in other truths, such as life through Christ. How true it is that we can do nothing against the truth, but for it. A LETTER
By Llewellyn O. Moore
DEAR BRETHREN: The following may not come up to the present power of the message, but there are mission workers throughout the field who have been personally influenced in the matter brought forth. I have also thus wronged publishers and people, and wish in the right way to bring it before them, that they may forgive, and glory in that Christ who said, “Confess your faults one to another.” The book of Galatians being ended in our schools, we, having tasted something of the experiences developed through faith in God, are facing experiences of several years ago—probably 1887. There was much in the lessons then to lead to righteousness. With what power it was stated I can not say. What it included I do not know. For, though engaged in mission work in one of our cities where wrong would greatly wound, I opposed, thinking the publishers of the lessons assumed to change the “two-law theory,” and remove the landmarks of our faith. But this thought was in myself; and, thinking it to be their intent, I did not overcome by the faith, which they were declaring, and so was in darkness till faith came. In the mission, I persuaded the workers, so far as possible, to reject large portions, and to rearrange the teaching. This teaching was thus a law theory which lacked much of the power of faith. There was blindness through unbelief, to the extent that the higher privileges of the gospel were not received—and at so momentous a time! These lines are written that the reader—you, if you have felt wounded by this pressure of darkness, or at any time have been confirmed in that same unbelief—may know that God has given grace to turn. And I sorrow because of my blindness, yea, rather, rejoice that my eyes have been opened, and that you may joy that God has turned my face toward the living Saviour and His righteousness. Now I catch and experience a power in the revelation of the gospel of God; and, though faint, it is full of glory, truth, and authority; and I rejoice that the book of Galatians has been brought forward—a witness to these things, and far more when we receive them. To any who would say, “Evidently the landmarks are being removed,” the word is, Look up! Look up! The landmarks are where they were. Behold the glory of the covenant bow, AND THE EVER-LIVING THRONE! Then others will say you are removing the landmarks, yet the marks are established forever. Look up, and behold in the heavens the illuminating character of Everlasting Love. There are glories beyond the veil; and also the law, whence it is known to emanate a living, fiery word. Thousands of angels transport His messages; and mortals whose “angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven,” will catch the living oracles from the great I AM, unto whom be praise and dominion, glory and majesty, now and evermore.

By Editor
The combination of the two journals, the Medical Missionary and the Gospel of Health, one year ago, created an organ prepared to represent in the fullest degree the work of the International Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association, and broadened the scope of each of the journals. A number of other important changes will be introduced. Several departments have been added to the journal, which, it is believed, will prove of great value to all who are interested in practical work for the betterment of their fellows. A number of well-known writers have been engaged to contribute to the columns of the journal, and several educational departments have been introduced, which will be conducted in connection with a Correspondence School. Inducements to Subscribers.—The inducements offered to subscribers to the Medical Missionary and Gospel of Health far exceed any ever before offered to subscribers by any other paper. A perusal of the following paragraphs will convince you of this:— GOOD REASONS WHY EVERY PERSON INTERESTED IN IMPROVING HIMSELF AND HIS HOME AND HIS NEIGHBOR AND NEIGHBOR'S HOME SHOULD SUBSCRIBE FOR THE MEDICAL MISSIONARY AND GOSPEL OF HEALTH

We shall also be pleased to have any of our people who may be in the city make an effort to attend. Corner of Hollis and Burroughs Place, Boston. N. B.—Attention has been repeatedly called to the necessity of having papers properly wrapped. Do not roll or wrap too small. Cover papers well, so that they will be clean when received. Some have paid double the postage necessary, and others have expressed literature when it would have been cheaper to send by mail, at four ounces for one cent. The following persons desire late, clean copies of our publications, postpaid:— Mary S. Branson, Salem, Ill. Mrs. C. M. Copeland, Hinton, Cowley Co., Kan. R. L. Hurlbert, Kimball, Neb., all current publications. Mrs. J. F. Woods, 322 S. Detroit St., Warsaw, Ind., tracts and papers. “I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus
