Camp-Meeting Literature Sales

BROTHER S. G. WHITE, missionary secretary of the California Conference, reports splendid success in the sale of our literature at the local camp-meeting recently held at Sacramento, Cal. In all, nearly $1,600 worth of our literature was sold during that meeting, as follows:—
Bibles .................$ 121.05 Subscription books ..... 705.60 Trade books ............ 78.85 Tracts ................. 125.77 Magazines .............. 520.80 Periodical subscriptions 47.25 Total .................$1599.32
It is truly encouraging to see how willing our lay members are to purchase large quantities of our books, tracts, and magazines at these general meetings, to take with them to distribute to their neighbors and friends.
Practically all of the magazines purchased at these meetings are sold to the people of the town or city where the meeting is held. Many of our people who have never previously engaged in the work thus receive a practical training in the sale of our literature.

Virginia Conference and Camp-Meeting

By A. C. Neff

THE annual camp-meeting for Virginia will be held on the academy grounds, near New Market, Va., Aug. 4-14, 1910. The twenty-seventh annual session of the Virginia Conference will be held in connection with this camp-meeting, the first meeting of the session being held Friday, August 5, at 9 A. M. All delegates should be present at the first meeting. Each church is entitled to one delegate for the organization, and one additional delegate for each ten members. Each church should elect its delegates at once, and send the names to the secretary of the conference, Dr. A. M. Neff, New Market, Va.

How to Reach New Market

Those coming from Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and vicinity, can come by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, changing at Staunton for New Market; or take the boat to Washington or Alexandria, and from there take the Southern Railroad direct to New Market. From Richmond, Petersburg, and vicinity, come by way of Richmond over the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, changing at Staunton as above. From Danville and vicinity, the best route will be by Charlottesville and Staunton, unless reduced rates are given by way of Manassas all the way over the Southern. From Lynchburg, Buena Vista, and vicinity take the Chesapeake and Ohio to Lexington, then change to Baltimore and Ohio direct to New Market. From Roanoke take the Norfolk and Western to Basic, change to the Chesapeake and Ohio for Staunton, and then to New Market as stated above. Our people in the valley will know how to reach the place without further information.

Location of the Grounds

The academy and grounds are situated about one mile from the Southern depot, near the village of New Market. Special provision will be made to bring all to the grounds at reasonable rates.

Railroad Rates

It is almost impossible to secure special rates unless a large number from a single place are guaranteed; therefore our people will have to arrange with the agents at the starting-points for the best rates they can obtain to the place of meeting.

Rooms, Tents, Lumber, Etc.

Tents will rent at the usual prices; namely, $2.50 and $3, according to size, for the time of meeting. Each tent will be provided with a fly. Lumber for flooring and other purposes will rent for sixty cents a hundred feet, when not cut or nailed, and for $1 a hundred when cut or nailed, all lumber to be left on the grounds as the property of the conference. It is only by special arrangement that we can make these rates. Those wishing their tents floored can have it done free of charge, for the labor, if we are notified that a floor is desired when the tent is ordered. State whether you wish half of the tent floored, or the whole of it. Straw will be furnished free to those desiring it for beds. Chairs will rent for ten cents each; cots, for forty cents each. We shall not have bed-springs or mattresses to rent. A limited number of rooms in the academy will be rented for $4.50 each for the time of the meeting. These rooms will contain the usual furniture, including bedstead, springs, and mattress, but no bedding. All coming to the meeting must bring plenty of bedding. Be sure to bring ticks for straw.

Dining-Hall

The conference will conduct a dining-hall, where meals will be served at the rate of six tickets for $1. Groceries and provisions may be obtained on the grounds. A supply of health foods will be on hand, but it will be well for our brethren who wish to take a supply of health foods home, to order at once from Dr. A. M. Neff, New Market, Va., as by so doing these foods can be secured at reduced rates.

Further Information

All orders for tents, rooms, lumber, or any other articles furnished by the conference, should be made to W. H. Zeidler, New Market, Va., who is now on the grounds. Be sure to send your order as soon as possible.
Any who desire further information, not covered by this article, should write to the undersigned at Quicksburg, Va., or to Dr. A. M. Neff, New Market, Va.
A. C. NEFF, President.

East Michigan Camp-Meeting

By E. K. SLADE

THE annual camp-meeting for East Michigan is to be held in Keeley Park in the city of Jackson, Aug. 11-21, 1910. This will be an important meeting for East Michigan, and for all who may attend. The city of Jackson has shown us favorable and liberal concessions, and Keeley Park is centrally located, and very desirable for a camp-ground. The attendance from the city last year was large. We hope for a large attendance this year from the city and surrounding country, and also of our brethren throughout the conference. The members of our churches in East Michigan should prepare early to attend this meeting. Orders for tents, cots, etc., should be sent at once to the conference president, at Holly, Mich.

SMITH.—W. R. Smith was born in New York State, Aug. 14, 1832. Fifty years ago he crossed the plains by team, coming to California. More than a year ago he became paralyzed, not being able to speak. During this time he preached many sermons on patience to those who called on him, always greeting them with a smile, and extending the one hand he was able to use. He went to his rest, June 26, 1910, in Fresno, Cal., having been a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church in good standing for thirty-five years. C. L. TAGGART.
HILDE.—Died of old age at Wheelock, N. D., May 27, 1910, Sister Elizabeth Hilde, at the advanced age of ninety-seven years and twenty-five days. She was born at Glovnas Opstyrie, Nordfjord, Norway, May 2, 1813. Sister Hilde accepted the third angel's message about twenty years ago, and was faithful to the truth until the end. Beside three children, she leaves eighteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren to mourn. The funeral service was held in the Seventh-day Adventist church in Wheelock. P. G. ARGO.
SWEET.—Died at Everett, Wash., Sister Ruth C. Sweet, aged fifty-nine years and four months. She was born in the State of New York in 1851. At an early age she learned to love her Saviour, and later joined the Episcopal Church, in which for years she was an honored member. About five years ago, in Petoskey, Mich., she accepted the views held by Seventh-day Adventists. She was of gentle disposition, a care-taker in her family, and will be greatly missed. She leaves a husband, three sons, four daughters, and sixteen grandchildren to mourn their loss. WM. J. BOYNTON.

Sanitarium, June 17, 1910, in the fifty-first year of her age. Sister Hardin accepted present truth about sixteen years ago, and has ever remained faithful to its teachings. Through her efforts her husband also accepted the truth, and together they brought up their two children to love the hope of the Lord's appearing. The funeral was held in Dundee, Ore., after which we laid our sister to rest on a beautiful hill-top, to await the call of the Life-giver. F. A. LASHIER.
CHRISTIAN.—Died at Tolley, N. D., June 15, 1910, Ernest, little son of Elder A. E. and Mrs. Christian, aged 2 years, 9 months, and 7 days. He was a bright, affectionate child, and will be greatly missed in the family circle. CARL K. RASMUSSEN.

With her husband she accepted the truths of the third angel's message more than twenty years ago. She was faithful to the last, and her closing days proved that her hope was anchored within the veil. Her husband survives, to feel the loneliness caused by her absence. Rev. Benjamin Helm, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, conducted the burial service. WALTER JONES.
McCUNE.—Died of heart trouble, at her home in Fairwater, Wis., June 18, 1910, Mrs. R. K. McCune. She was born in Prairie du Chien, Wis., Jan. 1, 1838.

Farr, pastor of the First Baptist church. MRS. M. E. BONESTEEL.

He heard and accepted the truths of the third angel's message at Cleon, Mich., in 1888, and became a charter member of the church at that place. For sixteen years he and his family have lived in the vicinity of Bozeman, Mont., where Brother Miller was held in high esteem as a true Christian. His companion and three children are left to mourn. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, who spoke from John 11:25. W. A. GOSMER.
STOVER.—Samuel Cristie Stover was born in Fayette County, Ohio, Oct. 21, 1856, and died suddenly at Lake City, Colo., June 19, 1910, aged 53 years, 7 months, and 29 days. Five years ago he and his wife accepted present truth, and since then have been faithful members of the church at Capitol Hill, Denver. Brother Stover was an earnest Christian, and his greatest desire was to see the message advance. He talked it everywhere, and only a few weeks before his death had the joy of seeing a family accept present truth as a result of his efforts. He leaves a widow to mourn her great loss. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:16-18. H. F. KETRING.

J. Hudson Taylor’s Threefold Prediction

IN the Missionary Review of the World for April, 1906, was printed a prediction made by the late J. Hudson Taylor, at that time superintendent of the China Inland Mission. This same journal for July, 1910, refers to this prophecy as follows:—
The forecast was threefold: First, of a war in which Russia was to be prominent, but lack the sympathy of Western nations; second, of a great and pervasive revival of religion; and, third, of the Lord's second appearing, not long after. We are not wont to attach much importance to such modern forecasts. But this man was no fanatic or dreamer, but one who lived and walked with God, and to whom it was not strange if he permitted some insight into the future. This prophecy was published in full in these pages four years ago (April, 1906, pages 241, 297), and may be worth while to reread in the light of later events. Subsequent developments make this deliverance intensely interesting. The Russo-Japanese War fulfilled the first part of this threefold prediction in every respect. The great revival in Wales, and in many other quarters, most conspicuously Korea, where the work still goes on, and is the wonder of the world, fulfilled the second. There is only one part of the prophecy yet unfulfilled; and there are many who believe that the Lord's second appearing is near at hand.
