Earlier text: MRS. TUCKER'S DREAMIN the twenty chapters into which this book is divided, the author discusses the unity of the divine plan and the continuity of God's purpose through all the ages, showing that in all dispensations the truths constantly impressed upon the minds of the people have tended to one end,—the elucidation of one central idea, of the dominion which was lost in Adam. CHAPTER I is a brief discussion of the Creation of the World; Man's Dominion and How He Lost It; the Origin and Authorship of Sin, with the divine remedy for its consequences. CHAPTER II treats of the "Promise of God to the Fathers," with all that it implied in heaven and on earth. In other chapters are discussed such subjects as "The Abrahamic Covenant;" "Righteousness through Faith;" "The Covenant with Israel," the reasons for it, and the universality of its application; "The Return of the Jews;" "The World's History in a Dream;" "The Setting Up of the Everlasting Kingdom;" "The Hour of Judgment;" "The Fall of Babylon;" "The Seal and the Mark;" "Signs of the Second Coming of Christ," and the responsibility of man in recognizing them; "The Resurrection of the Dead," and what the doctrine involves. THE LAST CHAPTER is a GRAND COMPILATION of the Promises of God in regard to the "Restoration of the First Dominion," with a vivid portrayal of the earth's appearance and condition when clothed in the garb of Edenic purity and loveliness. THE BOOK is substantially bound, and handsomely embossed with floral designs; gold title on side and back; heavy, cream-tinted, sized and super-calendered paper; size, 5 1/2 in. x 9 in.; price, postpaid, $1.00; gilt edge, with side design embossed in gold, $1.50.

By J. A. Wylie
ILLUSTRATED BY TWENTY FULL-PAGE ENGRAVINGS. THIS work describes the conflicts waged by the Waldenses and the martyrdoms they endured in defense of their faith and their liberty. Recent events have brought the Waldenses to notice, and thrown a new light upon the grandeur of their struggle and the important issues which have flowed from it. To them are we to trace the Constitutional liberties that Italy now enjoys. In their mountain fastnesses they maintained the faith of the early Christians, and by their untiring missionary labors this faith was diffused to all the nations of Europe, thus preparing the way for the great Reformation. Contains 212 pp. Price, 90 cents. Address, PACIFIC PRESS, Oakland, Cal. Iceland’s Tiny Military and Legal Force
THERE is a population of 70,000 in Iceland, yet the only military force employed consists of two policemen, stationed at the capital, Reykjavik, and the only two lawyers on the island are the State's attorney, as he may be called, and another, who is on hand to defend anybody that may be put on trial. THE success of meetings at Winchester, Virginia, has led to the organization of a church. ELDER L. D. SANTEE reports seven accessions to the faith in Coleta, Illinois; six of these are heads of families. A NEW church building was dedicated at West Leroy, Mich., on the 6th inst. The service was conducted by Elders A. O. Tait and I. H. Evans. ELDER J. M. REES reports the organization of a church at Terra Haute, Ind., with twenty-four members. They are now engaged in the work of erecting a house of worship. THE annual report of the Ohio Tract Society, submitted at the last annual meeting, showed sales of 3,622 copies of "Bible Readings" and 558 copies of other bound books. ELDER J. O. CORLISS has been elected president of the Michigan Sabbath School Association, and begins his work with stirring articles in the Review on the duties of teachers. AT a small local camp meeting held at Atkinson, Holt County, Neb., nine persons were baptized. The ministers present were Elders W. B. White, D. Nettleton, and J. E. Jayne. IN all the Conference and camp meetings of the past year there was urgently pressed, and a marked disposition to accept, the duty to make a forward movement in the matter of health reform. THE work at Ford's Store, Maryland, is still progressing in an encouraging manner. Within eight days, ending October 23, sixty-six persons had been baptized, and others were expected soon to go forward. IT is encouraging to hear the reports of good prospects for the academy at South Lancaster, Mass., as indicated by increased attendance and a disposition on the part of the eastern and northeastern Conferences to raise their allotted portion of financial aid. IN La Crosse, Wis., thirteen persons were baptized during the month of September. A report from Brethren E. W. Webster and J. B. Scott, in the Review, dated October 12, stated that there was still a good interest there, and others were awaiting baptism. THE daily Bulletin of the General Conference will be published through the institute which will precede the Conference session, beginning January 27. For the entire six weeks the price will be 50 cents. Address A. O. Tait, Battle Creek, Mich., care Review and Herald. BROTHER W. M. CROTHERS has been appointed territorial canvassing agent for Indian and Oklahoma Territories. Although there are only about a hundred brethren scattered throughout these Territories it is expected that ten will enter the canvassing work. Brother Crothers' address is Norman, Okla. Ter. The work is under the direct supervision of the General Conference. WE learn from the West Virginia Monitor that a primary school was to have been opened by our brethren at Newark, in that State, on the 10th inst., and that the prospect of success was good. Preparations are made for boarding pupils, and the proposed instruction combines manual labor and study. Tuition is 75 cents per month for the lower grade, and $1.00 per month for the higher grade. Quite a number of families are moving to Newark in order to avail themselves of the opportunities of the school. ELDER R. A. UNDERWOOD writes, October 25, to the Workers' Record, Kansas City, Mo.: "I am now at home in Ohio [Mesopotamia]. At present writing I am not able to leave my room. Yet some days I am able to ride out and walk about some. It will take me several months to regain my health. In all my afflictions the Lord has been very precious. My heart is with the work and workers in district No. 5." A METHODIST minister in Newark, Del., was zealous enough to go before Brother Tanner, who was canvassing for "Bible Readings" in the place, and advertise his business for him. Of course he did it "of envy and strife," in the way of warning, but he advertised the book, and in these days the more a book is advertised the better it sells. A canvasser should never be discouraged by an opposition that advertises his work. No other book has ever had the opposition that has fallen to the lot of the Bible, yet no other book has ever equaled it in circulation. Our Work and Workers.

"Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters." "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." FROM a private letter from a dear fellow-laborer, Elder L. C. Chadwick, we take the liberty to make public the following:— I have had some very precious experiences since I wrote you last. My visit to our German and French brethren in South America was one that I shall never forget. Some of them had never seen a S. D. A. minister, and those who received the truth in Kansas have been several years without help. None of them could understand the English. I could understand a little of their German and a little of their French, but the Spanish was the language in which we had to converse, and in which I had to do my work with them, as they understood it better than any other except their native tongues. One night as we were having a meeting in a little mud house belonging to one of our brethren, I noticed that one sister, who was a Russian German, and who cannot understand a word of English or Spanish, seemed to be deeply interested in what I was saying. Tears would come to her eyes, and she would often nod her head as though she was understanding me, and yet I knew that unless the Lord was helping her, such could not be the case. After meeting was over I went with them to their home, and she began to tell in German to another woman who did not attend the meeting, some of the things that I had said in Spanish. I asked her husband to question her about how she understood, and she replied that she understood in her own tongue as the people did on the day of Pentecost. Man's necessities are God's opportunities. If Brother Chadwick had spoken in French, the German brethren would not have understood; if he had spoken German, the French brethren would not have understood. He spoke in Spanish, which all could understand save this precious soul, and the Spirit of God translated it into her own tongue. Brother Chadwick remarks: "I believe that we shall have much more of this kind of translating before we reach the end." Amen. This is only one of the many tokens of God's waiting blessing. Let the workers grasp it by faith. HOW TO BE A PASTOR.
By Dr. T. L. Cuyler
DETERMINE to become a pastor, cost what it may. If you are shy and bashful, conquer your diffidence; a man has no business to be a shepherd if he is afraid of the sheep. If you are naturally reserved and reticent, unlock your lips. Go and talk with your people about anything or everything until you get in touch with them. It is not best that a minister should talk exclusively about things spiritual. Talk to them about their business, and show your interest in what they are doing. Watch your chances to put in a timely and loving word for your Master. You are Christ's man on Christ's business. If you can only gain your point by going often to the house, then go often. One soul wins others. You can reach the parents sometimes by reaching the son or daughter. Personal conversations with individual souls will train you to be a closer, more suggestive, and practical preacher. They will make you colloquial and simple and direct in the pulpit. Half of all the preaching is fired into the air. You will gather most precious material for your sermons by going about among your people and finding out what they are doing, what they are thinking, what they are suffering, and what they need. Devote a portion of every day to pastoral service. To visit a large congregation consumes a vast amount of time; but can you spend it more profitably elsewhere? Be on the lookout for sermon hints wherever you go; one hour with a live man may teach you more than two hours with a dead book.—Dr. T. L. Cuyler. International S. S. Lessons.

44. And the next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God. 45. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed. 46. And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn unto the Gentiles. 47. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth. 48. And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. 49. And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region. 50. But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders. 51. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. 52. And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost. 14:1. And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. 2. But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren. 3. Long time therefore they tarried there speaking boldly in the Lord, which bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4. But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 5. And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to entreat them shamefully, and to stone them, 6. They became aware of it, and fled into the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about; 7. And there they preached the gospel. Golden Text.—"I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles." Acts 13:47. 1. Relate the circumstances of Paul's preaching in the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia. 2. What request was made at the close of the sermon? "And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next Sabbath." Acts 13:42. 3. Who came the next Sabbath? Verse 44. See note 2. 4. How did this interest affect the Jews? Verse 45. 5. What did Paul and Barnabas say to them? Verse 46. 6. What command had they to preach to the Gentiles? Verse 47. 8. How did this saying affect the Gentiles? Verse 48. See note 3. 9. How extensively was the word preached in that region? Verse 49. 10. What brought the work of Paul and Barnabas to a close? Verse 50. See note 4. 11. To what place did they then go? Verse 51. 12. In what condition did they leave the converts? Verse 52. 13. What was the result of the speaking in Iconium? 14:1. 14. What opposition did they encounter here? Verse 2. 15. How did the Lord witness to their preaching? Verse 3. See note 5. 16. What exhortation is given us in view of preaching thus witnessed? "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away from them. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard; God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will." Heb. 2:1-4. 17. What was the result of the work in Iconium? Verses 4, 5. 18. Where did the apostles then go? Verses 6, 7. 1. The Apostles Still at Antioch in Pisidia.—There Paul preached the word of God on the Sabbath to the Gentiles at their own request. Many joining the apostles, a persecution was raised against them, and they fled to Iconium (I-kon'yum) the capital city of Lycaonia (Li-ka-o'ni-ah). Here they remained winning many souls to Christ, till persecution drove them hence. They fled to Lystra (Lis'trah), a small rural town, the inhabitants of which were idolaters. Paul wrought a miracle; the people treated them as gods, till Jews from Iconium came and declared them to be impostors. From there they fled to Derbe, where they seemed to meet no persecution. 2. The Sabbath.—It is worthy of notice that the Sabbath is mentioned four times in this chapter. In verse 27 it is referred to as the time when the prophets are read in the synagogues. It is said that this is done every Sabbath day. This excludes any day from being called the Sabbath except those days on which the Jews assembled for worship. But the most important point to notice is the fact that the day on which the Jews worshiped is called the Sabbath. The only reason for this is that that is its name. The fourth commandment says that the seventh day is the Sabbath. Ex. 20:10. The seventh day of the week is the only day that the Lord named. All the other days are designated simply by numbers; the seventh has a name—the Sabbath. That should be sufficient to settle the matter, but there is an opinion among some that after Christ came things were entirely changed,—that he came to make a revolution, to overthrow the Father's work and substitute his own. On this see John 4:34; 5:19, 20, etc. But this chapter and other passages show that in the New Testament things have the same names that they do in the Old Testament. The only place where we can learn of Christianity and Christian institutions is in the Bible; therefore, since the Bible calls the seventh day the Sabbath, all Christians are bound to call it the same. Without any controversy over the Old Testament, all Christians must agree that the New Testament was written far into what is commonly known as the Christian era, by Christian men, for the guidance of Christians, and that it was inspired by the Holy Ghost. Therefore the writers of the New Testament did not refer to the seventh day as the Sabbath because they had in their early life been accustomed to so call it, but because that is the name the Holy Spirit gave it in the beginning, and in all time since. No other day than the seventh can be called the Sabbath as long as the Bible is taken as the only standard of Christian faith and practice. 3. Ordained to Eternal Life.—Alford renders, "As many as were disposed to eternal life believed." So also the Emphatic Diaglott, and Etheridge's Syriac translation. Rotherham renders: "And they believed—as many as had become disposed for age-abiding life." The Greek word tasso, rendered "ordained," is defined by Bagster "to arrange; to set, appoint; to set, devote; to dispose, frame (Acts 13:48); to arrange, appoint; to allot, assign; to settle, decide (Acts 15:2)." It seems in this text to have the sense of disposition or decision. The Jews judged themselves to be unworthy of eternal life; they chose death. These believing Gentiles heeded the Spirit's pleading, and, by opening their hearts to the Spirit of God, they became disposed to eternal life, and judged themselves worthy through Christ of accepting it. 4. Devout Women.—By "devout women" is not meant that they were good or spiritual. They were devoted to their religion, which was probably Jewish, and were zealous in their belief. Of Honorable Estate.—Those who were wealthy. Etheridge's Syriac renders, "rich women." These, with the chief men, were prejudiced, and the apostles were turned out of the city, by force, probably, not legally, as they soon returned. The apostles shook off the dust of the city in obedience to the injunction of Christ (Matt. 10:14), and departed, leaving the disciples filled with joy because they were filled with the Holy Spirit. 5. Bare Witness unto the Word of His Grace.—God always works above Satan if his people will abide in him. The Jews turned the people against the apostles, but the truth and Spirit of God won the people to Christ. A Book of 180 Large Octavo Pages, Hand-somely Illustrated.

43 BOND STREET, NEW YORK. An exhaustive treatise on the "State of the Dead" and the "Destiny of the Wicked." Has man a conscious existence in death?
