The School.

The third term of the school opened according to announcement, Monday, Dec. 16.

The building at first occupied being too small for the increasing number of the scholars, and being unsuitable for winter, the present term is held in the meeting-house. Folding desks have been attached to the seats in a portion of the house, which can be dropped without the least trouble so as not to interfere with the convenience of the house as a place of meeting. The primary department occupies the gallery. The room is large, airy and pleasant, and affords an excellent place for the school this winter.

The term has opened very encouragingly. Sixty-three scholars were present at the commencement, the number to be increased to over seventy when all are in that are coming.

Testimony to the Church.

By James White

TESTIMONY to the Church No. 22 is ready. It treats upon the important subjects which should agitate our people at the present time, such as the proper education of young men and young women to immediately become efficient laborers in the several departments of the work of giving the third message—the health reform—the Health Institute—missionary labor—and the duties and dangers of ministers. Price, post-paid, 25 cents. One-fourth discount by the quantity at the Office, or when delivered at the freight and express offices at Battle Creek.

JAMES WHITE.

To the Churches of the Mich. Conference.

By I. D. Van Horn

AGAIN I feel it duty to call your attention to the subject of Systematic Benevolence. Every one, who has an interest in the third angel's message, should manifest a becoming zeal in this part of the work. The time has come when every church in this Conference should hold a meeting and take into consideration the following points of business:—

Determine how much you are owing the Conference on past pledges up to Jan. 1, 1873, and take measures to pay up immediately.
Rearrange your S. B. for the year 1873, and see that every one bears his part in it.
Determine by vote of the church how much you will pledge to the Conference for the year 1873.
After you have held such a meeting, let the clerk make out a report after the following form, and send it to the Conference Treasurer—Miss Addie Merriam, Battle Creek, Mich.

FORM OF REPORT.

Financial Report and Pledge of the church of S. D. Adventists at ______ for the year commencing Jan. 1, 1873. Whole number of church members. Number paying Systematic Benevolence. Amount of S. B. pledged to the church for the year 1873. Amount of this pledged to the State Conference for the year 1873. Amount yet owing the Conference on past pledges up to Jan. 1, 1873.

Every church should remember that pledges to the Conference are to be paid to the Conference Treasurer quarterly; or if paid to ministers during the quarter, reported to the Treasurer.

When any church shall send in money, we wish you to plainly state whether you design it to pay up your old pledge, or to apply on your pledge for the year 1873.

Let there be faithfulness on the part of all in coming up to the plan, in the payment of pledges, and in reporting. We should realize that it is the Lord's work, and that by being faithful we shall enjoy his rich blessing. I. D. Van Horn, Secretary.

Iowa Meetings.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

I wish to call the attention of the friends to my appointments in Iowa. Otronto belongs to the Minnesota Conference, hence I stop there. The other two are dedication meetings, which I attend by advice of Eld. Butler. These are all the meetings I can spare time and strength to hold in Iowa; hence I hope to see a full turnout from all the surrounding churches. D. M. CANRIGHT.

What Are We Coming To?

It would almost appear to the careful observer as he bends his thoughts abroad over our own country, and the nations of Europe and the world, that the times of tribulation spoken of in Scripture as annunciatory of the latter days, had already come. The foundations of industry, order, and prosperity, seem to be tottering. Governments are corrupted, people rebellious, enterprise paralyzed, trade and commerce languishing, and individuals bankrupt. Suffering and distress prevail everywhere to a most unusual degree. Wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in divers place, increasing wickedness, and heart-sickening casualties and crimes, startle the community, and lead multitudes to exclaim, What are we coming to? The answer seems plain. The world is hastening to its destiny. Prophecy is fulfilling, history completing. The kingdoms of this world are being disorganized, that they may become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ. The nations are filling up the cup of their iniquities, which shall turn in their hands into the cup of the Lord’s fury. Leaders of false religions are binding upon their followers heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, which are designed to be thrown back with crushing weight upon their own heads. Communities are laying up for themselves “wrath against the day of wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,” and individuals, sinning with a high hand against knowledge and love, are provoking the Almighty to a just retribution. Let the Lord’s people be awake, zealous, and active for the Master, vigilant and uncompromising against evil, waiting for his appearing, by the brightness of whose coming the man of sin is to be finally destroyed.—Advocate and Guardian.

The Storm in the North Sea.

A German correspondent writes as follows of the great tempest on the North Sea and Baltic coast:—

“We will attempt to give some idea of the terrible devastation occasioned by the high tide and fearful storm from the northwest on the 13th of November. This tide, which reached its greatest height on the coast of Schleswig at about 9 o’clock at night, was the greatest ever known on the shores of the Baltic, exceeding the great tide of 1864 by 16 inches in height, and that of 1836 by 38 inches. The water rose about 11 feet above the mean level of the sea on the shores of the Baltic, which are quite unsheltered. An inundation could not fail to take place, against which all human exertions and precautions were utterly powerless. In the small town of Apenrode, alone, 90 houses have become uninhabitable, and nearly 280 families have not a roof over their heads. The news from Eckerforde is still worse. Entire streets have been literally annihilated, while many of the buildings left standing are undermined. The exact number of dwellings totally destroyed in Eckernforde cannot yet be ascertained, but it will not fall short of 100. Hundreds of inhabitants have lost everything. The news from the District of Oldenburg is most saddening. On the island of Fehmarn the sea broke through the dykes, and, out of 42 villages, the fields and property of only 11 escaped the flood.”

“The entire coast of Western Pomerania and the island of Rugen, with its projecting peninsulas, and the smaller islands lying around it, have also most severely suffered. The long and narrow island of Hiddensoe, near Rugen, through which the sea once before forced its way, has been divided into two parts by a channel 17 feet deep. Two villages were completely inundated, and had to be abandoned by their inhabitants, numbering 57 families. Vitte was also entirely covered by the sea, and its inhabitants, 70 families, had to be rescued from the garrets by boats. Provisions, winter stores of all kinds, and fuel have been washed away or spoiled, and the wells are useless on account of the salt water with which they are filled.”

The Storms in Europe

London, Dec. 20.—Large portions of country in Leicester, Derby, and Nottingham, are submerged by the late floods. In some sections of these counties, tops of trees and hedges only are visible. A heavy landslide has occurred near Dover, and communication with that town is interrupted. The town of Peterborough in Northampton County, is flooded, and many of the inhabitants have been compelled to take refuge in the upper stories of their dwellings.

The River Cam is overflowed in the vicinity of Cambridge, and for miles the country is like a swamp, and the streets of the city are flooded. Brookside and Eynesbury are deluged. The recent rainfall is estimated at 50,000,000 tons of water.

Paris, Dec. 20.—It is probable that some of the bridges crossing the Seine in this city will be swept away by the flood.

Naples, Dec. 20—A gale of unprecedented violence swept over Naples yesterday, and much damage was done to property and shipping.

While England has escaped the horse disease, a new malady has broken out there which is much more revolting. It is reported from various sections that it is impossible to preserve game any longer, the hares, deer, pheasants, and other game, dying by hundreds, of a strange sickness, their livers and other internal organs being filled with worms. In a country where so much use is made of game as in England, the affliction is a very serious one.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

By Editor

We have just received a letter from a brother in East Otto, N. Y., inclosing twenty dollars, and ordering the REVIEW sent on trial to forty friends for six months. A few more such noble examples of benevolence and interest in the cause, would give this enterprise a good lift. A number have sent in ten dollars with twenty names. Let them still come in.

Lake Marine Disasters Rise in 1872

The Detroit Post of Dec. 13, 1872, sets down the number of marine disasters on the lakes during the past year as nearly one thousand, with a greater loss of life than in 1871.
