He Will Come

By Jessie Brown Pounds

He will come in the clouds of the heavens,     Enrobed in a garment of light; He will come with the voices of trumpets,     And saints will rejoice in the sight.
He will come with the shouts of archangels,     His presence will lighten the east, And the souls that have longed for his coming     Will enter with him to the feast.
He will come; and the dead will be yielded     From valley, and mountain, and sea, And from death and its sorrowful shadow     Will those who have loved him be free.
He will come, he will come in his glory,     As Monarch and Saviour confessed; He will come, he will come in his glory,     And take his beloved to rest.
— Jessie Brown Pounds.

Selling Our Large Books in the City

By W. H. George

WHILE helping a brother colporteur in the city of Covington, the writer felt impressed to take a few orders for that good book, “The Great Controversy,” and with his prospectus started in among the business men. At the first canvass two orders were taken; and in a furniture store a stirring canvass was given, and two orders for the half morocco binding were received; and after a strong canvass in a drug store, the druggist said, “That sermon was worth $3,” and gave his order. The man was interested, and a desire was created for the good book, which will in all probability be read with an earnestness and enthusiasm that will cause the reader to glean from its pages the beautiful truths of which it is so full.
Our words are a savor of life unto life or of death unto death. Why give a lifeless canvass? The writer recalls a canvass which was given at an institute in North Carolina. After the colporteur had finished the canvass, which was for “The Great Controversy,” I said to him, “Brother, did you feel the canvass?” He replied, “No.” I said, “How then can you expect any one else to feel it?”
The trouble is so many are not in real earnest. Don’t begin to canvass until you have a real burden for souls. Then put your whole soul into the canvass, awaken an interest, and hold it until you get the order. When working in the cities, begin with the merchants. If approached right, even the head of the firm or the manager will give you five minutes of his time. When as a traveling salesman the writer’s work put him in touch with business men, he found that an audience could always be had if the salesman had confidence in his proposition or business. That confidence is what gave the salesman the necessary assurance. Now, my friends, the proposition we have, is the best that can be had, and why act as weaklings when handling such a work? Go to the people and show them that you have something of great value, and it is for them if they will have it.

Revival in the River Plate Academy

By H. U. Stevens

THE annual meeting of the board of managers of the River Plate Academy held in the month of August of the present year, was one of rich blessing, and proved to be the means of a deep spiritual revival in the school and sanitarium. The occasion was one of special interest and importance. Evidences are numerous that the work in South America is taking on an intensity of activity which it has not known before. The Lord has shown himself ready to answer prayer abundantly.
We had been planning for months to conduct a series of special revival services for the young people in connection with our institutions. The opportunity came when the leading brethren gathered for the annual board meeting. A deep sense of our need of divine wisdom in dealing with the affairs of the school strengthened the longing for special help at this time, and all lent themselves with one accord to seeking the Lord with intense earnestness.
At the first meeting of the board it was decided to hold evening meetings for the public, at which special efforts should be made to help the young people who had not already found the way of life. As far as possible, all business in connection with the board meeting was to be laid aside, and the members were to be present at the services. Elders O. Montgomery and R. T. Baer were asked to lead out in the meetings and to carry the principal burden of them. It was further decided that the first hour of the morning session of the board should be spent in prayer and consecration.
From the beginning, the deep movings of the Spirit of God were manifest, and a number of young people came forward to renew their covenant with God. After the people had left the meeting, it was suggested that the matter be taken to the Lord in special prayer, asking that he work mightily for us, that he follow the people to their homes and make effective the effort of the evening, and that he touch the hearts of those that were hardened. The workers who had remained and the pastors mentioned above gathered in a small room, and spent an hour or more in pleading with God for victory in the name of Jesus; the names of certain ones for whom work had been done but who had made little or no response in the past, were especially mentioned. These were again remembered in the morning prayer service, and also just before the evening meeting. The second evening the Lord came especially near, and the workers rejoiced to see all for whom they had prayed and many others seeking help. This was considered a victory, and a special answer to prayer.
The interest was followed up on the Sabbath. The special program which had been prepared for that day was postponed. In the afternoon an experience meeting was held, at which a note of victory was heard in each testimony. Some had taken their first step, many had renewed their covenant of consecration and sacrifice to God and to his cause, and all had obtained a new vision of their responsibilities and opportunities in the finishing of the work in this part of the vineyard.
The last night of the meeting six young people signified their desire to be baptized. Thus the Lord has already rewarded the effort put forth in behalf of our youth.
In Camarero there is, perhaps, the largest body of Seventh-day Adventist young people in South America, and they are here for the purpose of being trained for service in connection with this closing message. The Lord has shown himself merciful and ready to bless abundantly. The workers in our institutions are anxious to follow closely in his steps, so that many of these youth may be able soon to take their place in the forefront of the battle to help finish the conquests of the cross. To this end pray for the work here.

Notes from the West Canadian Camp Meetings

By C. F. McVagh

THE last camp meeting of the season in western Canada was held at Kelowna, in the famous Okanagan valley, in British Columbia. The city furnished us a splendid site for our camp, in the park on the shore of Okanagan Lake. Before the meeting began, I had the privilege of visiting our people and churches in Glenemma, Grandview, Vernon, and Penticton.
Our brethren and sisters were of good courage, and their attendance was about the same as at the coast meeting in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. We enjoyed favorable weather, and those not of our faith showed a fair degree of interest. No business meetings were held at the camp meetings, as the British Columbia Conference, which met last fall, adopted the two-year plan, and elected officers for that period. It has been decided to hold one central camp meeting in British Columbia next year, and have the conference session in connection with it.
On looking over my notes of the camp meetings this summer, I see that in the four provinces 1,725 persons attended the meetings, and 112 were baptized. More than $12,500 was pledged for home and foreign work, and more than $2,700 worth of literature was sold to our members for home mission work.
Altogether we can but feel that much good has been accomplished, and we thank God that we have had a part in the work. C. F. McVagh.

The Blue Heaven Is Larger Than the Clouds

“The most glorious sunset sometimes follows the severest storm. Under the shadows and the gloom of adversity, therefore, never despair. But, with head erect, with a courageous heart, forward to the goal, in the firm conviction that the sun of success will smile upon you again. ‘The blue heaven is larger than the clouds.’”

Our Ingathering Device

By F. W. Paap

In planning for our Harvest Ingathering campaign this year, it was decided to have a church-goal device. The Review and Herald art department was called upon to assist, and in good time everything was in the hands of the mailing department.
Mail Bags Filled with Harvest Ingathering Devices.
Mail Bags Filled with Harvest Ingathering Devices.
Our conferences were prompt in sending us a full list of the churches in their respective territories, and the work of inserting these thermometers in the cardboard mailing tubes, as well as addressing them, was duly completed. That this was no small undertaking can be appreciated by observing the accompanying cut. Brother Twamley, who has charge of the mailing department and is seen standing by the pile of mail bags full of these devices, says this does not begin to represent all that we sent out. This is but one consignment. I am sure our people will be interested to know what a large amount of extra work our mailing department has done without a murmur. We believe that thousands of dollars more will be brought in as a result of this one aid alone, to say nothing of many other helpful features of the campaign.
We trust each church will set a definite goal, and indicate it right on the thermometer device. You will notice the $ sign; here indicate the goal set by the church, then as the money comes in, make the mercury rise according to the amount raised in proportion to the church goal.
Be sure to place the thermometer in a prominent place, and from week to week mark the progress and encourage the workers. The largest amount reported to date from one individual is $500. Elder F. L. Limerick, our home missionary secretary in Missouri, sent me the receipt for this amount, as passed in to the conference secretary-treasurer. We shall be glad to hear from any one relative to the campaign and its progress.

Corinth

This rich, populous, and cosmopolitan city was situated about forty miles west of Athens, on an isthmus separating the Ionian and Ægean Seas. With its favorable geographical location, and its two ports, one on each sea, Corinth increased rapidly in commercial and military importance, and proportionately also in the luxuries and vices that too often follow an abundance of this world’s goods.
In Paul’s day, Corinth was not only one of the most important cities in Greece, but in the world. Through its gates surged the traffic of the East. To this great distributing center came merchants from the ends of the earth, seeking a market for their wares; pleasure lovers were lured thither by the call of the city’s wealth and charm; and the idle and vicious of many lands, drawn then as now to any place where their hopes for personal gain by questionable means may be most easily satisfied, found in this splendid metropolis a rich field for their exploitation.
An unusual and remarkable feature of Corinth was the Acro Corinthus, a great mass of rock rising abruptly to a height of two thousand feet. It is said that a town was once built on the summit of this natural citadel.

The Church in Corinth

Corinth, “corrupt and contented,” with its pleasure-loving population of heathen Greeks and Romans, bitterly prejudiced Jews, and indifferent travelers, might have been looked upon by many as a difficult field for sowing the gospel seed. But Paul, with the faith and fervor of a true soldier of the cross, visiting the city in A. D. 52, on his second missionary journey, saw in it an opportunity for profitable labor. For a year and a half he preached the word of life to Jews and Gentiles in Corinth, supporting himself meanwhile by working at his trade of tent making. During this time he wrote the epistle to the Romans, and other letters. Silas and Timothy visited Paul, and faithfully lent their aid to his efforts to plant the standard of the cross in this influential city. Success attended their labors. Many were converted, among them the chief ruler of the synagogue, with all his house; and a church was organized. Later when Paul had gone to Ephesus, Apollos, an Alexandrian Jew, “mighty in the Scriptures,” visited Corinth, and encouraged and instructed the believers.

First Corinthians

Apollos, who labored for the church at Corinth after Paul’s departure, was a learned and eloquent man. Against his will, and greatly to his sorrow, some of the believers began unduly to exalt him and his labors. Others thought they were best showing their love and loyalty to Paul by giving him first place in their affections and regard. Still others exalted Peter’s position. Divisions came in, and soon the church was about to split into factions. Some were saying, boldly, “I am of Apollos;” and others, “I am of Paul;” still others declared, “I am of Cephas [Peter];” and others, sensing the danger of exalting man, but not knowing how to stem the tide so strongly setting in, said, “I [am] of Christ.” Thus the unity and harmony that should have prevailed, and that were so essential, were destroyed. The church was rent by bitter dissension and strife, and the work of the gospel was accordingly hindered. “Pride, idolatry, and sensualism were steadily increasing among those who had once been zealous in the Christian life.”
Word of this sad condition was brought to Paul at Ephesus, by members of the influential family of Chloe, and also by a letter from the church itself, asking advice. The apostle’s response to this situation was the epistle, so rich in Christian advice and counsel, so eloquent and persuasive and compelling, that bears the name “The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians.” It was written at Ephesus, toward the close of Paul’s stay of nearly three years in that city, about A. D. 57, five years after the establishment of the church at Corinth.

Second Corinthians

“Forced from Ephesus by the riot, Paul went to Macedonia, where Titus found him, and told him of the effect of his first letter to Corinth. In the main his reproofs and injunctions had been heeded, but the Jewish party, reenforced by some high authority, had been attacking him with great violence and malice. Thereupon Paul wrote this sturdy epistle as a defense. It constitutes a magnificent picture of his strenuous life. The date was early in A. D. 58, and the place of writing was probably Philippi.”—Wells.
“Paul was now full of faith and hope. He felt that Satan was not to triumph over the work of God in Corinth, and in words of praise he poured forth the gratitude of his heart. He and his fellow laborers would celebrate their victory over the enemies of Christ and the truth by going forth with new zeal to extend the knowledge of the Saviour. Like incense, the fragrance of the gospel was to be diffused throughout the world.”—Mrs. E. G. White.

Personal Evangelism

By Ernest Lloyd

The great need of our church today is not more organization, but simply more fidelity on the part of each member to the duty of personal evangelism. The duty of preaching the gospel was never committed to a few men or to a special class.
Dr. Trumbull has dealt with this duty of every Christian man and woman, old and young, in his little book, “Individual Work for Individuals.” Every member of the church should read this little volume. Here is its central message:—
“I determined that as I loved Christ, and as Christ loved souls, I would press Christ on the individual soul, so that none who were in the proper sphere of my individual responsibility or influence should lack the opportunity of meeting the question, whether or not they would individually trust and follow Christ. The resolve I made was, that whenever I was in such intimacy with a soul as to be justified in choosing my subject of conversation, the theme of themes should have prominence between us, so that I might learn his need, and, if possible, meet it.
“That decision has largely shaped my Christian life work in the half century that has followed its making. I have not always been faithful in this sphere of Christian service, as, indeed, I have failed or lacked in every other sphere; but my resolve at this point has been adhered to as faithfully as any other resolve I ever made, and I have steadily grown in the conviction that it was a wise resolve. The more extensive and varied has been my experience, and the more I have known of the Christian labors of others, the more positive is my conviction that the winning of one soul to Christ, or of ten thousand souls to Christ, is best done by the effort of an individual with an individual, not by the proclamation of an individual to a multitude, larger or smaller, without the accompanying or following face-to-face pleading with the single soul.
“My experience came to be varied, but in every fresh phase of that experience the preeminent value of work for one soul at a time, over work for a multitude of souls on the same occasion, stands out as the truth beyond challenge or question. This was my conviction in the first days of my Christian consecration. This is my conviction today more positively than ever before. However others may feel about it, I cannot have a doubt on the subject. Winning one soul at a time usually results in the winning of a multitude of souls in the process of time. But addressing a multitude of souls, and urging them all to trust and serve Christ, may not be the means of winning even one soul to Christ, now or at any time.”
The duty of propagating our faith rests upon every one of us. Wilberforce said, “If my faith is false, I ought to change it; if it be true, I am bound to propagate it.” We believe our faith to be true. That conviction, with the constraining love of Christ filling our hearts, will prompt us to give the light to all who do not possess it. Propagation is a law of spiritual life. “The genius of Christianity is expansive.” The religion that would spread among men must be offered by man to man.
This is the great need of the church today. We need more truly eloquent preachers in the pulpit, certainly, but the greater need is for more faithful witnesses in the home, at the office, on the street, in the shop. Our church membership would be doubled, and our problems would be carried a long, long way toward their solution, if every Adventist would make it his chief business to tell others about the meaning of the world’s present situation and try to win them to Christ.

The Bible Year

By Lynn H. Wood

DURING the present year more than thirteen hundred persons in the Southern Union have enrolled to read the Bible through. As I have talked with different ones at the camp meetings this summer, I have found that over fifty per cent of these are up to date in their reading.
A PICTURE OF THE BIBLE YEAR CHARTS AT THE KENTUCKY CAMP MEETING
A PICTURE OF THE BIBLE YEAR CHARTS AT THE KENTUCKY CAMP MEETING
At a number of the camp meetings a Bible rally day was held, and many spoke with pleasure of what the Bible Year meant to them. Last year there were only fifty persons in the entire Union who succeeded in reading the Bible through. At the Kentucky camp meeting a picture was taken of the charts that were brought in from the different churches. Not all the churches had sent in their charts, but from those in the picture one could get a very good idea of the way the people are taking hold. Their names are enrolled on these different charts, much the same as on the Sabbath school record. Instead of the thirteen columns for the thirteen different Sabbaths, there are twelve columns for the different months of the year, headed “J” for January, “F” for February, etc. At the end of each month, if a person is up according to the assignments in the Morning Watch Calendar, he is marked “present” on the chart. This enables the conference to know the standing of the different members throughout the year.
The worst record of all in this picture is made by the conference church, and this is due to the inability of the secretary to get a reply from some who enrolled. Some who had their names recorded are not Adventists, but over eighty per cent of those whose names are on these charts have taken up the work in earnest, and are pretty well up to date. Throughout all the different meetings, the expression was heard again and again, “The Bible has meant more to me this year than it ever meant in the past.” May God help us that his Word may continue to grow dearer to our hearts, so we may learn how to be of greater service to him.

Walla Walla College

By E. C. Kellogg

The college opened September 13, and the first two days were given entirely to the work of registration. More care than heretofore was exercised in checking up students and getting their work arranged more fully in harmony with the published courses. The classes met for regular work on Friday. The enrolment at the end of the first week was two hundred and three, which is twenty-four more than a year ago.
Friday evening the regular devotional meeting was held. The chapel was nearly full. The Scripture lesson was upon the thought, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” All were much interested in the exercises of the hour, and the service was a helpful one.
The church being too small to accommodate all in the Sabbath school, a college Sabbath school was organized, with a membership of approximately one hundred.
On Saturday evening the usual opening reception was given. The faculty members stood in the receiving line, and after all had been greeted a short program was rendered. An address of welcome was given by the president of the school, to which response was made by one of the senior students. This was followed by words of greeting from a representative of each conference. During the several speeches the students from the respective conferences stood, so that all could see the representation. This was a new feature in the reception, and proved to be of marked interest.
The weather for the opening was ideal, conditions in general were favorable, and the outlook for an exceptionally successful year seems very encouraging.
E. C. KELLOGG, President.

Preparedness!

By Editor

Not long ago President Wilson stood before Congress and delivered a message in which he urged military preparedness for peace. The conditions we as a nation are facing, and those we shall face at the close of the war, prompted the head of our government to deliver this message. It resounded from coast to coast, and from the Lakes to the Gulf, echoing and reechoing in every town and hamlet throughout our land.
Since this message was delivered, another national political campaign has begun, and preparedness is one of the biggest issues in this campaign. The word will be on the lips and in the mind of every American citizen between now and election day.
What an opportunity this affords God's people to deliver their preparedness message to the world! The people of the world are talking and thinking of military preparedness. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to give them a real spiritual preparedness message to think and talk about? Already this message of ours is sounding from coast to coast, but the time has now come when it should echo and reecho in every town and hamlet until all the world has understood its meaning.
Thinking our people would appreciate something right to the point on this line, the November issue of the Watchman will come out as a special Preparedness number, brimful of the very best and latest articles, notes, statistics, and illustrations dealing not only with military preparedness, but with a preparedness that means more to the world than that which pertains only to carnal matters. In the articles written especially for this issue, the writers have contributed some of the most interesting matter that has yet appeared from their pens. An attractive cover, selected photographs, and these splendid articles will make this Preparedness number one that will appeal to and interest all to whom it is shown. The following titles represent the leading articles in this number:—
Preparedness and Prophecy “Prepare War” The Source of National Strength The Sanctification of War Opening the Road to Constantinople Mexico at Peace Visible and Invisible Worlds The Dawn of Modern Babylon
Demands for copies of this issue of the Watchman will doubtless be many, so we suggest that orders be sent in early. Order from your tract society, and call for the November Preparedness number of the Watchman. Be prepared to take a real preparedness message to a people who are unprepared.

Well Balanced

By Editor

Did you ever analyze the make-up of the Signs of the Times Magazine? If so, you probably have observed that the editor's apparent policy is to provide his readers with as wide a range of doctrinal subjects as possible.
First and foremost, of course, he draws attention to those prophecies which apply to present-day conditions and events.
Examine a copy of the November (Capital and Labor) number, and you will find articles bearing on the Sabbath, the second coming of Christ, righteousness by faith, the false teachings of Christian Science and higher criticism, the incarnation of Christ, religious liberty, and the following great signs of our times: Heaping up treasures; depravity in dress; the great war; strife between capital and labor; pleasure, extravagance, lust; judgments of God, etc.
We have it on good authority that over fifteen hundred bodies of industrial workers have gone on strike since the first of the year. The relations between the employer and employee are becoming more and more acute, and the outlook for peace between capital and labor is most unpromising. It is therefore quite fitting that the November Signs of the Times Magazine cover illustration should symbolize the two great factions, and that considerable space should be given to the question. The article “A Great Calamity Averted” will make a deep impression upon the minds of many.
A well-balanced number that will do much for the cause of truth in your neighborhood if—well, if you circulate the magazine. Don't fail to give the matter further consideration at least. Price, 5 to 40 copies, 5 cents a copy; 50 or more, 4 cents a copy. Tell your tract society secretary how many you can use.
