Stereopticon Supplies

As the result of careful search and experiment, we are prepared to supply first-class, up-to-date stereopticon outfits at a very low price.

After seven years of experiment and careful practice, we are in position to furnish stereopticon views (slides) on Biblical topics equal to any made in the United States. Having systematized and perfected our methods of manufacture, we can supply perfect slides at prices within reach of all. Our colored slides are superb. Read what two well-known clergymen say of them:—

Two nights this week, Sept. 29, 30 [1909], one tent was packed to overflowing to hear Elder ——, of Nashville, speak on the coming of Christ. His lecture was illustrated by stereopticon scenes of a high type. The views were simply perfect. That scenes of this character, illustrating Bible themes, will attract and draw, is demonstrated from the fact that all who were out the first night returned the second, and brought so many others with them that standing room could not be had inside the tent.

R. M. KILGORE, Dickson, Tenn.

The slides have come in perfect order, and I consider them the best I ever saw. In fact, they are simply perfect. I am sure that the use of the stereopticon adds greatly to the attendance in a meeting, and to the impressiveness of the discourses.

R. W. PARMELE, St. Petersburg, Fla.

Catalogue of stereopticon supplies, and more than 2,000 Biblical views, at reduced prices, sent free on application.

The Protestant Magazine

By Editor

THE Protestant Magazine for the second quarter of 1910 is at hand. It contains some strong articles. The editor, in “The Consistent Intolerance of the Roman Catholic Church,” shows how, in the recent attitude of the Vatican toward Mr. Fairbanks and Colonel Roosevelt, the Papacy stands for the same principles of intolerance that have been exhibited in its earlier history. The methods of this so-called vicegerent of Christ are contrasted with the ways of the lowly Man of Nazareth. “The Unanimous Consent Principle Applied to a Famous Test,” “The King’s Oath,” “Molding Public Sentiment,” “Rome’s Aggressive Campaign,” and “The Papacy and Prophecy” are other articles in the Editorial department. P. T. Magan writes on “Protestantism Versus Roman Catholicism,” and Dr. Howard Kelly gives “A Physician’s View of Christ’s Miracles.” Under the head of “The Vatican Incident” are brought together the comments of various papers regarding the question of Mr. Roosevelt’s experience with the Pope. Altogether, this is one of the most readable numbers which has been issued, dealing as it does with questions of current interest in our own day. It should be read by every reader of the REVIEW.

ONE of our ministers, sending in an obituary of one of our sisters for publication, says: “It seems too bad we are losing so many of our members by death. May the Life-giver soon come.” This is the cry coming up from many burdened hearts at the present time. We are in a land of sin and sickness and death. Our hearts long for deliverance, but let us draw courage from the knowledge that we have not long to wait. “Yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” Let us bend our energies to the finishing of this work, faithful to the charge he has committed to us, and soon we shall share in the rejoicing of victory, the grand consummation of our longing hopes.

Canvass for “Ministry of Healing”

By L. A. HANSEN

WE now have ready a canvass for “Ministry of Healing” and Life and Health, together with hints and suggestions. A number of these are being placed in the various tract societies for distribution. If there are those who for any reason can not readily secure this canvass, it may be had without charge by addressing the Sanitarium Relief Bureau, General Conference Office, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

The School for Medical Evangelists

By Editor

MANY have followed with deep interest the steps leading to the organization of the School for Medical Evangelists at Loma Linda, Cal. In this number Elder R. A. Underwood presents some of the facilities and advantages already provided at Loma Linda for a school of this kind. There surely should be no question in the minds of any of our young people who contemplate taking a medical course as to where to obtain their training. It is wisest always in our general relationship to the work of God, and in all questions relating to our personal relationship to that work, to follow the indications of God’s providence.

Every Adventist Should Read the Review

By Editor

OUR general church paper, the REVIEW AND HERALD, should be in the hands of every Seventh-day Adventist. No one can truly keep alive to the importance of this movement, and the progress it is making in the world, who fails to read the reports of labor, the plans of operation, and the general information contained in this journal. If a canvass of our churches were made, many Sabbath-keepers would be found who are not regular subscribers. Will not the officers of our churches interest themselves in this matter? What better work for his church could any elder do than to induce every member of his company to become a regular subscriber to, and reader of, the REVIEW AND HERALD? The following good words from Elder A. R. Ogden, president of the North Missouri Conference, contain a valuable suggestion:—

We are glad to tell you that we are still interested in the good old REVIEW. A few Sabbaths ago twenty-seven subscriptions—most of them new—were received in one of our larger churches for the REVIEW. I believe a REVIEW missionary day in many of our churches would be a good thing. To my mind nothing so stimulates an interest in every department of the work in all the earth, among our people, as to receive and carefully read the denominational paper week by week. I am sorry that we can not succeed in getting every believer to take it. We are doing the best we can.

A Furlough from German East Africa

ELDER P. OHME, with his wife and two children, reached Hamburg, Germany, May 25, on a furlough from German East Africa. Brother Ohme has been in charge of the mission in German East Africa for several years. They hope to regain health and strength in Europe, and return soon to continue work in the fruitful East African field.

Midsummer Offering

THE article by Elder A. G. Daniells in our Editorial Department regarding the midsummer offering could be profitably read in all of our churches, either on the day of the offering, July 2, or the Sabbath preceding, June 25. The demands of our work to-day in every land indicate the necessity of a liberal contribution to missions at this season of the year.

Baptisms Among the Santals

Four young Santals were recently baptized by Elder J. C. Little at Simultala, India.

The Ordinance of Humility

Just preceding the July quarterly meeting, Elder E. W. Webster writes on “The Ordinance of Humility.” This article, as found on page 5, may be read with profit by every one.

Midsummer Offering Service Reading

CHURCH elders will please notice that one of the readings for the midsummer offering service, mailed last week from the Mission Board office, is to be read Sabbath, June 25. The midsummer service is one week later, July 2.

Elder S. B. Horton

ELDER S. B. HORTON, for many years connected with the work in the South, passed through Washington last week on his way to the New York Conference, where he will labor in the city of Albany.

Seventeen Baptisms in Austria

J. WOLFGARTEN, superintendent of the Austrian Mission, reports seventeen baptisms recently in that difficult field. One Italian was baptized near Trent, made famous by the Council of Trent during the sixteenth century.

Elder Geo. F. Enoch

ELDER GEO. F. ENOCH, who has made a large amount of good progress with the Marathi language in the Bombay section of India, has translated “Steps to Christ” into that tongue. Type has been ordered, to bring out the book in this language as soon as possible at the Lucknow printing-office.
