WHAT is the trouble? Did you get a late start? Did you break down? Is the track washed out? These and many other questions are asked the conductor as soon as he sets his foot on the depot platform at the junction, after the other trains have left. Hear his answer: I started on time; but as I am running an accommodation train, I was compelled to stop at every station. Left stations 1, 2, and 3, on time. Side-tracked at 4, waiting for bill of lading, and finally had to start without one. At 5 side-tracked again; agent gone. Being behind time, did not dare to start till I ascertained that the road was clear. Arrived at No. 6, and found the office closed. Finally found the agent, and started again. Passed 7, 8, and 9; the agents were on hand, and everything ready. Arrived at 10. The agent was gone; side-tracked for the express to pass; but failed to find the agent. At 11, 12, and 13, found the agents impatiently waiting for us, and declaring we should miss connection at the Junction; and here we are, behind time, and the REVIEW Supplement gone without a report of the Kansas T. and M. Society.
The following is a summary of the work done by the Kansas T. and M. Society, for the last quarter in 1877:
No. of members, 222; reports, 68; donors, 43; families visited, 185; letters written, 124; new members, 22. New subscribers obtained for our periodicals, 67; periodicals distributed, 368; Annuals, 74; pages tracts and pamphlets, 47,360.
Rec’d for membership, $22.00
By donation, 63.06
From book sales, 26.85
On periodicals, 32.70
Total, $144.61
T. and M. members of Kansas, shall we be behind next quarter? Shall we have a full report? We have 222 names on the roll; (68 have reported for duty, 154 are on the sick list. The sickly season is now past. Shall we not have all reported for duty next quarter? What say you? Keep this, so you may know just what to report. Remember the time,—April 7. District meetings, April 13 and 14. Directors, see that your reports are mailed the 15th, and I will see that the Kansas train is on time.

YORKTOWN, INDIANA.
By W. W. Sharp
Our congregations are good considering the bad roads and an opposition meeting. Held our first Sabbath meeting, Feb. 9. About thirty-five were present. Several took part in the social service. Some have commenced keeping the Sabbath. Several families are deeply interested. I am of good courage in the Lord.

DEDICATION AT ESTELLA, MICH.
By E. R. Jones
According to appointment, I met with the church at Estella, Feb. 9, 10. The object of this meeting was to dedicate the new meeting-house which the brethren here had just finished. I was much disappointed at not meeting Brn. Corliss and Van Deusen here; this left all the labor for me to do.
A little more than two years ago, Bro. Van Deusen preached the truth at this place, and the result was, a church was organized with some eighteen or twenty members. From the first they have felt the need of a house of worship; so with willing hands and a commendable spirit of sacrifice, they have succeeded in erecting a house pleasant in its location, convenient and excellent in its formation, pleasing to look upon, and, what is very comforting, free from debt. It well represents the cause of present truth.
The blessing of the Lord was with us from the very first of the meeting. Sabbath morning came and with it the severest snow storm of the season; but for all this, the friends came in from Carson City, Matherton, Hubbardston, and other places, till we had a congregation of about one hundred commandment keepers. The Spirit of the Lord helped in the preaching and in the social meetings. After the afternoon’s discourse eight arose for prayers.
Sunday morning, at the dedication service, the house was filled to its utmost capacity with a congregation that listened with apparent interest to the great features of our faith and a rehearsal of the growth of this cause. A solemnity pervaded the entire service, and especially its closing part, when all the members of the church, by a rising expression, dedicated themselves anew to the service of God, and we all knelt and prayed that he would accept this vow, and bless this house, the willing sacrifice and offering of his people.
In the afternoon, a large congregation listened to a discourse upon the messages, and in the evening upon the necessity of obedience to the teachings of Christ.
The meeting is in the past; but we look back to it with much pleasure because we there experienced the blessing of the Lord. May the vows we there made, and which the angels have recorded, be never forgotten by us, but remembered and performed.

MAINE V. M. SOCIETY.
By J. B. Goodrich
For the benefit of our brethren and sisters in Maine, we wish to give through the REVIEW the amount of work done by the V. M. societies at Allen’s Corner and South Norridgewock, which is as follows:—
Allen’s Corner (Dist. No. 3): Families visited, 92; letters written, 223; letters received, 58. Periodicals given away: REVIEWS, 195; REFORMERS, 58; INSTRUCTORS, 55; SIGNS, 649. Annuals distributed, 60; pages tracts and pamphlets distributed, 12,773, loaned, 3,095. New subscribers for the REFORMER, 7; INSTRUCTOR, 45; REVIEW, 2; SIGNS, 5.
South Norridgewock (Dist. No. 1): Families visited, 6; letters written, 216; letters received, 50. Periodicals given away, 689; pages tracts and pamphlets distributed, 982; Annuals sold, 43; new subscribers, 4.
The above was added to the quarterly reports in Districts 1 and 3. This shows what can be done by making an effort, and the Judgment alone will reveal the amount of good that has been accomplished. Cornville and Hartland, in Dist. No. 2, send out 23 SIGNS weekly. We hope soon to see Districts 4, 5, and 6, commencing in this good work of sending out the SIGNS. The honest-hearted will read, and will be led to seek for the truth. “Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters.” J. B. GOODRICH.
Cousin in England Embraces the Present Truth
In a letter from Madison Co., N. Y., Bro. B. Hostler says:—
My cousin, F. P. Cooper, in England, to whom I have sent the REVIEW some two or three years, has embraced the present truth. He was a local preacher in the Methodist connection, and has been laboring to teach others. The result is, three have already embraced the holy Sabbath, and ten or eleven others are investigating the truth. He hopes these will soon be decided.
Obituary Notices.
“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Eld. Geo. W. Holt, a pioneer of present truth, fell asleep, of a complication of diseases, at his residence in North Scriba, Oswego Co., N. Y., Dec. 27, 1877. He was born in Abington, Conn., April 18, 1812. His age was 65 years, 8 months, and 9 days. He had a family of eleven children, of whom only five are living to mourn his loss.
He was a public laborer in the first, second, and third messages. After the passing of the time in 1844, he was among the first to embrace the light of the Sabbath, as it shone out from a view of the sanctuary in Heaven. In 1850, he was connected with Eld. James White in the publication of a small paper called The Advent Review, published at Auburn, N. Y. He afterward traveled and preached in Canada and New York, also in Ohio, where he lived some years; but finally, on account of failing health, he came back, with his feeble companion, to spend his last days near his eldest daughter, in North Scriba, N. Y. His labors were characterized by deep piety, and a zeal in accordance with the importance of the work. And although not laboring in the field for the last fourteen years of his life, wherever he was he has always advocated the coming of the Lord.
A large concourse of people gathered at the Methodist church, where they listened to a discourse by Eld. G. D. Ellis, Methodist, assisted in the services by two others, one Baptist and one Methodist. Text, Rev. 14:13. Very appropriate remarks were made by all. We mourn; but not as those without hope, for those who die in Christ will the Lord bring with him. May the Lord greatly bless his aged companion, and his children.
A. M. Lindsley.
Died of spinal complaint, in Greenville, Mich., Jan. 29, 1878, Josephine Shepley, aged 45 years. Sister Shepley came to this country from France when quite young, and embraced the third angel’s message about twenty-two years ago. Though under unfavorable circumstances, she has faithfully adhered to the faith of her choice, adorning her profession by a well ordered life. Her last sickness was very painful and lingering. A companion is the only relative left to mourn her departure; yet the church can but sensibly feel the loss they will sustain in their prayer and social circles. They laid her away in hope of the Lifegiver’s return. Funeral services by the writer.
J. O. Corliss.
Died of consumption, in Mapleton, Blue Earth Co., Minn., Dec. 26, 1877, in the twentieth year of her age, sister Bertha Decken, daughter of Bro. and sister N. E. Decken. We sorrow not as those who have no hope; for we feel assured that Bertha will come again from the land of the enemy. Words of comfort by Eld. J. E. Conrad.
David Alway.
Died, at South Vineland, N. J., Jan. 26, 1878, of congestion of the lungs, Bro. Robert Cochran, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. He and his companion were among the first who received the truths of the third angel’s message in New Hampshire. For the last eleven years he has been a resident of So. Vineland, where he has endeavored to scatter the seed of “present truth.” Some fruit is already manifest. He leaves seven children, of whom five are worthy members of the remnant church, to the tender care of the “Father of the fatherless.” He sleeps in Jesus. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Num. 23:10: “Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his.”
N. Orcutt.
Died of diphtheria, in Jackson, Mich., Jan. 15, 1878, Glennie, only son of Bro. and sister B. L. Francisco, aged 5 years and 2 months. Also on the 31st, of the same disease, their only daughter, Carrie, aged 8 years and 2 months. Words of comfort were spoken at the first funeral from Job 14:14, by Bro. E. P. Daniels. At the second a few remarks were made at the house from 1 Thess. 4:13, by the writer.

The Eastern Question.
Of the dispatches to the effect that the Russians are now occupying Constantinople, the London Post says:—
“We do not know at this moment what the precise nature of the occupation is. According to some diplomatists, the Russians have possessed themselves of two forts in the Bayouk and Chekmedji lines. According to others they have gained still greater advantages. Details are of small moment. Practically, all are agreed that the capital of Turkey and the key of the East, is in the hands of the Czar.
“Indignation will be of little avail. It will be alleged that no deception has been practiced, and we shall discover that this was one of the terms of the armistice which was never communicated to us. Yesterday the British military and naval force could, at any moment, occupy Constantinople, while the Austrian army could cut the Russian communications. To-day the situation is entirely altered. The British fleet can no longer advance to Constantinople, and may find itself even barred out at the Dardanelles.
“The Czar can now afford to laugh at Austrian menaces, since his communications are open from Constantinople to Odessa or Sebastopol. Our pottering over a trumpery £6,000,000 will probably cost us ten times that sum; but, whatever the cost, it is still to be hoped that the country will see its honor vindicated. This direct attack upon our honor will raise a feeling of resentment not to be appeased until we shall have taught our foe that we have the will and power to punish chicanery and maintain the empire which he is seeking to undermine.”
The warlike excitement in England is beginning to be shared in Austria, and the dual monarchy, timid as it is, and in spite of the moderating advice from Berlin, is rolling up its sleeves. The cloud gathering over Europe grows blacker day by day.—Detroit Evening News.
A GOOD HIT.
A German clergyman who was traveling stopped at a hotel much frequented by wags and jokers. The host, not being used to having a clergyman at his table, looked at him with surprise; the guests used all their artillery of wit upon him without eliciting a remark. The clergyman ate his dinner quietly, apparently without observing the gibes and sneers of his neighbors. One of them, at last, in despair at his forbearance, said to him, “Well, I wonder at your patience! have you not heard all that has been said to you?” “Oh, yes; but I am used to it. Do you know who I am?” “No, sir.” “Well, I will inform you. I am chaplain of a lunatic asylum; such remarks have no effect upon me.”

The Review and Herald.
By Editor
Battle Creek, Mich., Fifth-Day, Feb. 21, 1878.
Number 7, Vol. 2, of Les Signes des Temps, for January, 1878, Bale, Suisse, has been received. It is filled with the usual variety of interesting and instructive reading on the great features of our faith and work. Bro. Andrews is fitting up an office in which all the work upon his books and papers, excepting the press work, will be done by our own people. Publications will soon be issued from his office in German and Italian, as well as in French. The February number of Les Signes will be set by S. D. Adventists.
How to make people honest seems to be the great problem of the present age. All else failing, resort is had to machinery. Various devices have long existed to make car conductors and stage drivers place all their change in the right channel; and now a machine is illustrated in the Scientific American of Feb. 16, which is designed to be applied to employees of every kind who have the handling of funds, to keep them from diverting a portion of them wrongfully to their own private uses. This is a striking commentary on the present condition of society.
“THE MOST UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL.”—The Toledo Blade addresses a letter to this Office subscribed as follows: “Advent Review and Sunday Herald.” Accuse us of most anything else, but do not charge us with heralding Sunday unless it is explained that we herald it only as a human institution, begotten by paganism, sprinkled with its un- “holy water” by the papacy, and set up in the Christian church, but according to prophecy to be rooted out of the true church in the last days, in preparation for the coming of the Lord. The above address simply shows how inseparably Sunday has become connected in the minds of the people, with any idea of a day of rest, through centuries of erroneous teachings on this subject. But we are happy to say that the efforts now being put forth to correct this impression, showing that Sunday is only Sunday and the Sabbath is the Sabbath still, are meeting with very gratifying success.

We give this week appointments from Bro. Butler, Whitney, and Farnsworth, for meetings to be held at the same date with the coming special session of the General Conference. These appointments can be changed in next week's paper, in season to reach those interested, should these brethren conclude to attend the Conference, as requested by the Committee.
The Special Session of the General Conference.
THOSE who are living at such a distance from Battle Creek, that it would be inadvisable to send a delegate to the special session of the General Conference to commence March 1, can secure the aid of the Conference so far as their own wants are concerned, by writing to the Conference, stating very fully their situation, needs, prospects and desires. Let the friends in different parts of the Southern field report. Address, Eld. S. N. Haskell, REVIEW Office, Battle Creek, Mich.
Our Biblical Institute.
By Roswell F. Cottrell
Since it has been decided that our N. Y. and Pa. Conference is to have the benefit of a Biblical Institute, I hope that our young men and women will not let this opportunity pass unimproved. This may be the last of the kind we shall ever have in this State; for time is short, and the field is great. Those who so love the truth that they ardently desire to take a part in the work, and so be instrumental of salvation to those for whom Christ died, need to study to be approved of God, workmen that need not be ashamed concerning the application of the word of truth.
My brother, my sister, will you improve this opportunity? You need not only a clearer knowledge of the truth, but to be more deeply imbued with its spirit. Both these will be promoted by the Institute. Let no difficulties hinder you. Consecrate yourselves to God and his work. Place this above every earthly consideration. Say to the Lord, “Here am I, send me.” And if you do hold yourself thus upon the altar of the Lord, you will find a place in his vineyard, and so share in the joy of the Lord. Make no delay, but improve the present opportunity.
R. F. COTTRELL.
To Churches in Ohio.
By H. A. St. John
We are so well pleased with the new Church Record, and S. B. Books, that we have ordered a sufficient quantity for our Conference. All churches, therefore, that wish to procure the books before we can have opportunity to visit them, will please order the same from A. A. Hutchins, Clyde, Sandusky Co., Ohio. I hope to visit several churches before tent season, and will have the books with me.
Yours for system and order,
H. A. ST. JOHN.
Camp-Meeting Date Survey for Iowa and Nebraska Churches
By C. O. Taylor
Notices.
The camp-meeting committee of Iowa and Nebraska desire to know the mind of each church in the Conference as to when the next camp-meeting shall be held, in the spring or fall. It was decided to hold it in the fall; but now many want it in the spring, because they cannot attend it in the fall. Will every church clerk report the desire of his church to this committee?
Address, by the first of March, J. N. Berry, State Center, Iowa.
A young lady in Battle Creek, now attending school at the College, desires to teach, the coming season. She is an observer of the Sabbath, and greatly prefers to teach in the vicinity of a church, or Sabbath-keeping families. Any of our brethren, living within a radius of 75 miles of Battle Creek, who know of such an opening for school teaching, will confer a great favor by writing to the REVIEW Office immediately.
The address of the director of Dist. No. 10, Kansas T. and M. Society, is J. C. Tomlinson, Battle Creek, Mich. (College); that of the secretary is T. L. Halloway, Valley, Greenwood Co., Kan.
Some one in Wisconsin sends a box of papers. On some of them is the name of Wm. Kelley; on the REFORMERS those of Benj. Carter and B. G. Cowles; will the donors please inform me who sent them, and where from?

"In Everything": Bringing Small Cares to God
“IN EVERYTHING.”—There is nothing that interests you that is too little to confide to your God in the solitude of closet prayer. You may enter into your chamber, and shut your door, and, secure of a kindly hearing, you may tell your Father which is in secret of little things that worry and vex you, and retard you in your spiritual life, which are yet so little that you would be ashamed to confess to your nearest friend how great a space they filled up in your heart. Fix it in your mind that there is no duty, however small, which we can perform without God's grace, no trial that we can endure without his aid; no enemy that we can defeat unless the Captain of our Salvation speaks to us the conquering word. Let us ever lay our wants before him; and find in his presence the remedy for all our anxieties and our fears: so shall we be careful for nothing, while in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, we let our “requests be made known unto God.”
Special Meeting of General Conference.
A SPECIAL meeting of the S. D. A. General Conference will be held in Battle Creek, Mich., commencing March 1, at 9 o’clock A. M., and continuing to March 5.
The circumstances which demand this special session are the enlargement of our work in all its departments, and the consequent necessity of devising ways and means to most effectually improve the openings which the providence of God is placing before us. The general campaign is to be planned for the coming season. Interests at home and abroad are to be considered. Every Conference should be represented by delegates or letter.
