A Mirror of the Soul

By A. W. Spaulding

The voice is a mirror of the soul. The gruff voice bespeaks a crabbed heart; the shrill voice a frivolous or passionate mind; the gentle, well-controlled voice a perfect soul. It is the voice, more than anything else, that gains or loses favors which its owner covets; it is the voice that wins or rebuffs souls to whom we seek to give the truth. We are measured and judged as rightly by our voices as by our faces or our deeds. And the forming of the voice is under the control of the father and mother. It is the earliest work in language teaching which the parent can do.
The voice is formed upon the model furnished in the home. The babe hears the soft crooning of his mother's lullaby, he hears the happy laughter of his older brothers and sisters, he hears the pleasant conversation of all the family. Does he hear, also, sharp tones of command, gruff words of discontent and recrimination? All are noted, all are making their imprint upon his impressionable brain. Words, looks, even the silent gloom of anger or the voiceless beams of good cheer, are responded to in the delicate fabric of his nervous structure. Even in babyhood the effect is made evident: how many “blue Mondays” have not brought mutterings or shrieks from the little creeper?
Love is the first requisite in the teaching of language,—love not only toward the little learner (who does not have that—sometimes), but love for and overflowing toward every one in the family and out,—love unselfish, unconquerable; love that surcharges the atmosphere with radiant cheer, and banishes hatred and gloom. A babe in such an atmosphere is in the most perfect school of voice culture; he is taking lessons in pure quality, clear articulation, sympathetic expression. Through love he is gaining what is of the first importance and of the greatest necessity as the basis of language culture.
It seems almost as if everything were said when this has been said: if love reigned everywhere and always, within the world of the child, his voice would be perfect. But this happy state is so far from being realized by any of us, and such errors creep in unknown, that further thought is necessary.
Love is not always soft of speech; love is sometimes stern; but it is never “cross;” love has no voice of high-pitched, passionate tone. Therefore the child will not learn the voice of anger. Love is not always placid; love is sometimes tumultuous; but love is never riotous. And the child in the home of love will learn to speak with clear tones and temperate words. Love is not bold; but love is demonstrative, and it is not love's way to hide itself behind fear and silence. Therefore the child will learn the charm of frankness and ready address toward those whom he knows. We shall not thus make of our children stereotyped copies one of another, but we shall avoid some common errors of character, which, later in life, show in husky, crabbed, high-pitched, or guttural voices, that are mirrors of the soul.
Song should be a natural language in every home, used at the worship hour, at the evening gathering, and during the work hours. If the child everywhere hears it, he will catch the spirit and the art. Song is both the expression and the inducer of joy. There lived once a carpenter apprentice, a mere boy, who toiled all day with men and boys rude and toil-bowed. And when the day's burdens fell most heavily, and sodden faces frowned, and lips muttered murmurs, his clear voice would ring out in songs of cheer and hope, which refreshed and heartened his companions. The example of Jesus may be followed by every child. Teach the children simple songs. Let them, even as babes, join their voices with yours in family worship, though they may not preserve the harmony nor improve the music. Accept it, not with smiles and glances that hush the baby voice, but as a due part of the worship. The great High Priest above receives as sweetest myrrh the praises of baby lips, though offered with a dim comprehension; and the censers of the attendant priests swing forth their fragrance when prouder melody is never known.
Fear need not be had of voice-strain in children, when only simple songs, suited in range to their voices, are taught, and when there is not the unnatural condition of competition, as sometimes occurs in Sabbath-schools and children's choruses. There is no exercise of the child's voice better fitted to give power and flexibility than free-hearted, joyous singing.
In the family worship, the father and mother should, by their example, teach the children to speak clearly and expressively. The Scripture should be read, to the best of the ability of the reader, in a voice that expresses understanding of and sympathy with what it says. There must be no mumbling nor skipping, as though one were ashamed of reading, but clear tones, and manner suited to the sacredness of the Book. In the prayers, the thought should be evident in the words; no straining after high-sounding phrases, no jumbling of sentences as if there were no pauses. Every word should be so spoken as to be distinctly heard by all who are taking part. Let not the face be covered with the hands or the chair-back, so that all the words are lost; but let us speak to our Heavenly Father as if he were a present friend, honored and loved. Then the children will also learn so to pray. The training of the voice will not have its effect alone at the altar and in the chamber; and its influence is not less upon the mind than upon the voice.
It may be observed in passing, that children will take much greater interest in the prayer service, and will respond with greater alacrity and more proper spirit, if the older ones will reflect that their very “short prayers” are very long ones to kneeling children, and learn to model them after the Lord's prayer, not only in nature of petition, but in brevity of form.
Let us say, then, in conclusion (though we have but touched upon the great subject of voice culture in the home), that the father and the mother have it in their power, through the simple exercise of a loving and a reverent spirit, so to preserve and train the voices of their children that the grave faults of harshness, shrillness, gutteralness, monotony, and weakness of voice will never be contracted; and that these voices may ever be heard in the power, the sweetness, and the winning qualities which are the evidence of a Christlike spirit.

Current Mention

—A report from Cape Town states that fifty Dutch settlers have been massacred by Hottentots in German Southwest Africa.
—A state of terrible destitution is reported to prevail among the inhabitants in the northern part of the State of Mazatlan, Mexico, owing to a failure of crops and an epidemic of malaria, caused by torrential rains. From thirty to forty deaths occur daily, and the authorities are unable to cope with the situation.
—The strike in the Telluride mining district of Colorado, which was begun September 1 last year, was ended November 30 by action of the District Miners' Association, the miners having obtained an agreement from the operators to grant an eight-hour day after December 1, and a minimum wage of three dollars a day.
—The eight-hour law of New York, enacted in 1897, which prohibits a contractor from employing his men more than eight hours in a day on city, county, or State work, has been declared unconstitutional by the New York State Court of Appeals, on the ground that it deprives an individual of property without due process of law.
—Reports of frequent small engagements between forces of the Russian and Japanese armies in Manchuria are received by the press agencies, but the great battle which some have anticipated has not yet occurred, and, as winter has now set in, it is thought likely that no decided move will be made by either army for some time, or at least until after the fall of Port Arthur. That fortress still holds out, though press reports have for a long time represented that it was on the point of surrender or of capture by assault. The Russian fleet in the harbor is said to have been stripped of its heavy guns, these having been mounted for use in the defenses of the city, and their crews have been drawn upon for men to replenish the ranks of the defenders.
—Church federation is taking definite shape among Presbyterians in this country, according to a press telegram dated at Pittsburg, Pa., November 30, which says: 'The commission representing the seven branches of the Presbyterian Church in this country, meeting here, decided to-day on a plan of federation for the various churches, and the most important step yet taken toward the ultimate goal of organic union was determined upon definitely. Rev. Dr. J. D. Steel, secretary of the commission, says the plan provides for the establishment of a council, which will be called the ‘Federal Council of Reformed Churches in America Holding the Presbyterian System.’ The council will have no power over the worship, creed, or government of the churches, which will remain the same as they always have been.'
—The mining town of Zeigler, Ill., is beset by a condition of affairs which parallels that under which martial law was proclaimed not long ago in certain districts of Colorado. A strike has been in progress at the mine since July 10, and the contest has culminated in a state of siege in which firearms are used almost as freely as between opposing military forces. On one side are the miners, armed with rifles, and opposed to them, guarding the mine, is a stockade with a military blockhouse at each corner, and in each a Gatling gun, while a powerful search-light, mounted in the center, illuminates the surrounding country. The miners surround the town, and fire into it during the night, and the Gatling guns, in reply, rain bullets upon the places from which the shots appear to come. Thus far the shooting seems to have been unproductive of serious results. Mr. Joseph Leiter, a young Chicago millionaire who is chief owner of the mine, has been indicted on a charge of bringing armed men into the State contrary to law.

Teachers an Example

By F. G.

A FOUNTAIN will not rise any higher than its source. When the source of its supply rises, it will rise correspondingly; and likewise when the source lowers, the fountain will lower. This law of liquids is not any truer than a law governing the mind, which makes it impossible for it to rise any higher than its source of thought. But it likewise occurs that when the source of thought rises, the mind, in all its operations, is stronger and purer.
Our line of advance and progress will pass directly across the way of indolence and idle content. It is not hard for a teacher to cease to grow. But just when a teacher ceases to grow, he ceases to be a teacher. A teacher has to deal with facts of knowledge in a material way, but the vital truths of life do not necessarily lie in these facts in themselves. The vital, living truths of life come directly from God. It is true that they often come by the way of the facts taught. But they come far oftener through the teacher. His life is to be, under God, an inspiration and an example to those whom he would teach; and here again, unless it is such, he can not claim the name of teacher, and should not attempt the work of this high office.
Growth is a natural result of life. Progress and advance are always the result of growth, if indeed they are not synonymous with growth. Our denominational system of schools can make the right sort of progress only when all our teachers are growing. And they can grow only when they draw daily from the source of life. To be educators we must be educated, and to be educated we must study. When we have this spirit of a student ourselves, it is not difficult to inspire our pupils with a similar spirit. It is not right for teachers to go on year after year making no definite advance along the highway of knowledge. We have heard much, but none too much, said about the importance of the spiritual nature of our work. Perhaps, however, not enough has been said of the importance of securing a good fund of the facts of science, history, language, and other fields of knowledge for ourselves and our pupils. I do not think I state it too strongly when I say that much of our educational work is greatly hindered by a lack of the knowledge of many of the common facts to be observed on every hand. This knowledge is within the reach of every one who will seek it. Religion is practical, and is given us in order that we may deal with the material things of life in a proper way; but when we lose a sense of the just importance of the material things, our religion and religious experience degenerate into mere form.
Let us then, as teachers, be students, and make real advance in the field of knowledge, setting for ourselves definite tasks, and then mastering them. This will not detract from the spiritual features of our work, but to the contrary, will make our religion one of life, and not form. We shall then be leading our pupils in an unconscious, though forcible way, instead of consciously driving them. We teach far more by what we are and what we do than by what we say.

Field Notes

An enrolment of thirty-five pupils is reported in the industrial school at Maplewood, Minn.
The third annual session of the West Michigan Conference will be held in the Seventh-day Adventist church in Grand Rapids, Jan. 20-25, 1905.
The Indiana Reporter says: “The interest at Martinsville is as good as at any time since the camp-meeting. Our workers are giving many readings to families in their homes. We confidently look for a good church to be raised up there.”
Elder J. O. Corliss writes from Hanford, Cal.: “I had two glorious meetings here yesterday [November 12] in the interest of foreign mission work. People were present from miles about, and the large house of worship was crowded. Good impressions were evidently made.”
Brother W. R. Uchtmann says of the work in New Bedford, Mass.: “The work in New Bedford is very encouraging. Not only are the people opening their houses for Bible readings, but the pastors are actually opening their pulpits to hear our truth, and are themselves helping to sell our literature from their platforms, and that on Sunday.”
In a report of the canvassing work in Missouri, Brother G. Phillips says: “One of our canvassers took $37.50 worth of orders in one day, and the next day the same one took over fifty dollars’ worth. Yesterday the same humble canvasser made seventeen exhibitions, and took seventeen orders,—value $51.50,—and yet some people tell us ‘times are too hard to sell books.’”
Reporting from West Pennsylvania, Elder E. J. Dryer says: “Elder Longacre’s two tent efforts in Washington, Pa., have resulted in adding a number of good souls to the little company there, and they are now planning to build a new church in another part of the city. Elder Baierle also had a successful effort in Charleroi. Elder Schwartz reports eight new Sabbath-keepers from his summer’s effort, and several more this fall as he visited the scattered companies. Elder McVagh is doing a most excellent work among the churches in the northeastern part of the conference, where the companies had greatly decreased in numbers during the past few years. In several places where the truth was preached years ago new interests are springing up.”

The Experiences of Former Days

THIS week's instalment brings to a close the series of articles contributed by Elder J. O. Corliss, under the general title “The Experiences of Former Days.” These articles have been profitable to all our readers, and especially so to those who have received the truth in recent years.

Tent for Ceylon

The young people of Healdsburg propose to be responsible for the tent called for by Brother Armstrong, of Ceylon. Sister J. A. Chaney, of the Basutoland Mission, South Africa, had already responded with fifty dollars toward the enterprise, so that now we are practically assured of a good fifty-foot tent for Ceylon’s isle.

Elder Dexter Sails for France

ELDER H. H. DEXTER and family sailed from New York, December 3, for France. The Louisiana Conference generously released these laborers for the sake of the great French field in Europe.

The Youth’s Instructor Recommended

By Editor

In these days when so many publications for the young people are either sensational or dull, it is a pleasure to call attention to the interesting and elevating character of the matter found from week to week in the Youth's Instructor. We are glad to hear on reliable authority that this paper is now taking the place of some less desirable literature that has had a strong hold upon some of our youth, and we suggest that parents who are perplexed to provide suitable reading for their children, and who are not acquainted with the Instructor, should send for sample copies. Address this office.

Changes in Editorial Management

By Editor

WITH the December issue of Records of the Past, three full years of publication will have been completed. In order to fully occupy the place in the field of literature which it has essayed to fill, and in order to meet the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Dr. Henry Mason Baum, its editor, certain changes have been deemed expedient for the conduct and improvement of the magazine. From and after January 1, the editorial management will be conducted by Prof. George Frederick Wright, LL. D., of Oberlin College. The editorial management will be further strengthened by a number of prominent scientists as consulting editors, whose names will be announced later. The rate will be two dollars a year, as heretofore, if paid in advance (before February 1). Address Records of the Past Exploration Society, 215 Third St., S. E., Washington, D. C.

Washington, D. C.

By J. S. Washburn

As will be seen by a more complete report on page 18, the opening exercises of the Washington Training College were held Wednesday, November 30, at 10 A. M. About fifty students were in attendance. The prospect is most encouraging. The money required to build has been provided in advance. This is, as we all know, unusual. The institution starts absolutely free from debt.
There has been sent in to the Washington building fund $48,923.84. See list on page 19. Only 1,076.16 more, and we shall have reached the half-way point in this work.

The book is neatly bound in flexible cloth, and the price is fifty cents. Order of Review and Herald, Washington, D. C.

Special Week-of-Prayer Material

Some extra copies of the week-of-prayer readings have been sent to each local conference office to supply any church elder or isolated family that may have been missed in our general distribution.
A packet of India leaflets has also been sent each church elder for distribution. We shall gladly supply any who may fail to receive these.
A few missionary collecting cards for use among those not members of our churches have been sent each church elder, with the suggestion that those who are able to do so give neighbors an opportunity after the week of prayer to make a holiday gift to the missionary cause. Thousands would be glad to join us in a gift to missions at this season.
We are just sending out a special leaflet, written by Elder A. G. Daniells, reviewing the wonderful providence of God in the advent movement to this hour, and the stirring situation before us now. Packets of this tract should be received by each church elder for distribution. If by any failure no packet is received, notify us at once, and we will send further copies, though possibly too late for use during the week of prayer.
Copies of all this week-of-prayer matter have been sent to conference laborers and isolated believers.
