Earlier text: Sunday Not the True Seventh DayHow to Keep Ice in the Sick-room.
For those who have an abundant supply of ice, this may not be a matter of much moment; but for poor people, who may rarely use ice except in sickness, and to whom the expense is not insignificant, the following hints from an English source may be useful: "Cut a piece of flannel about nine inches square, and secure it by a ligature round the mouth of an ordinary tumbler, so as to leave a cup-shaped depression of flannel within the tumbler to about half its depth. In the flannel cup so constructed, pieces of ice may be preserved many hours; all the longer if a piece of flannel from four to five inches square be used as a loose cover to the ice-cup. Cheap flannel, with comparatively open meshes, is preferable, as the water easily drains through it, and the ice is thus kept quite dry. When good flannel with close texture is employed, a small hole must be made in the bottom of the flannel cup; otherwise it holds the water and facilitates the melting of the ice, which is, nevertheless, preserved much longer than in the naked cup or tumbler. In a tumbler containing a flannel cup, made as above described, of cheap, open flannel, at 10d. (20 cents) a yard, it took ten hours and ten minutes to dissolve two ounces of ice, whereas in a naked cup, under the same conditions, all the ice was gone in less then three hours." All but Idiots Stop the Tap.
SIR WILFRED LAWSON writing upon the subject of temperance, relates what occurred at a meeting in a northern county. Three clergymen were present. They set up Timothy as their model man morally, lauding and magnifying sobriety, but commending the temperate consumption of alcohol. When they had concluded, an elderly farmer rose and said, "I've heard that kind of tale for the last forty years, and I can't see that people are a bit more sober now than when it commenced. It reminds me of what I once saw take place at a retreat for imbeciles. It is the custom there, after the patients have been in residence for a certain time, to put them to a kind of test, to see whether they are fit to leave the asylum or not. They are taken to a trough full of water, with a small pipe continually running into it and supplying it. They are given a ladle, and told to empty it. Those who have not regained their senses keep ladling away, while the water flows in as fast as they ladle out, but them as isn't idiots stop the tap." DR. B. W. RICHARDSON lately gave a Sunday afternoon lecture in London on "Anæsthetic Sleep and Temporary Abolition of Pain." He remarked that the credit of having introduced chloroform belonged to the late Sir James Simpson, of Edinburg. Its introduction and application were objected to on religious grounds, some people contending that man, according to Scripture, should endure pain and trouble through life. Sir James Simpson threw the scriptural argument back upon those who used it by saying that when the first man had an operation performed upon him he was put in a deep sleep, and knew nothing of the time when the rib was taken from him. Religious News and Notes.
By Editor
—An anti-church league has been formed in Austria. —The Biennial Conference of the Evangelical Alliance will be held in St. Louis, October 29, 1879. —There are said to be 100,000 persons in "holy orders" in the Russian Church, many of them reduced to beggary. —The Friends' Mission in Mexico has the most extensive publishing house of evangelical literature in the Spanish language in all Spanish America. —A new Protestant sect, distinguished like the Shakers, by their physical extravagances, has appeared in Westphalia, the proselytes being chiefly women. —"No millennium till Christ comes," is the subject for an essay by Eld. A. J. Frost at the Ministers' Conference of the Baptist Convention in Oakland, May 12. —A prophetic conference, on the doctrine of the second advent, was held in Sweden, in Norrkoping, March 4-6. It is reported to have been a meeting of great interest. —The N. Y. Tablet, Catholic, says of the Talmage trial,—"As a sensation it is undoubtedly the best hit in the whole career of sensationalism to which the accused has devoted his life." —The publisher of the Revolution Francaise, in Paris, has been sentenced in default to pay a fine of 6,000 francs and to eight months imprisonment for a scurrilous article against Catholicity. —The Watchman speaks of the Brooklyn Presbytery in the Talmage trial as being "remarkable for its explosions of passion, for its cheers, for its hisses, for its laughter, and for its general unruliness." —Dr. Kemper, Episcopalian, concerning the question of church music and choirs, said: "I always tell the young clergymen to keep clear of the music question, for it will only bring them into trouble." —Mr. Talmage and Mr. Hathaway have "made up" their difficulty, and the defence tried to have withdrawn the specification in which their difficulty was involved. But the prosecution refused on the ground that questions of veracity are involved, which cannot be thus set aside. —"Rev. James M. Whiton, Ph. D.," was installed pastor of a Congregational Church in Newark. N. J., by a council of which Dr. Porter, Pres. of Yale College was chairman. Mr. Whiton plainly avowed his faith on the future of the wicked, to the following effect: "My conclusion is that they, the irrecoverable portion of mankind, under the destructive power of their own sins, will ultimately perish—will ultimately cease to exist. And I draw this conclusion from a large number of considerations." —Dr. Leonard Bacon, in an article in the Independent, says,—In the Presbyterian denomination there have been within my memory some famous trials for heresy. My recollection is that in such trials the question has been not, "what is the truth of God?" but, "what is the doctrine of the Presbyterian church?" Not, "what does the Bible say?" but, "what do our Standards say?" To appeal from the Standards to "the only rule which God hath given whereby we may glorify and enjoy him" would be a grand impertinence. —A correspondent of the Pacific gives a doleful account of the state of society in the Sandwich Islands, but another writer in the same paper says : "If you wish to know where Pandemonium is to be found, just go on the Sabbath to the Contra Costra Laundry grounds, occupied in part by a baseball club and cursed every Sabbath by the playing of their games, the cheering and shouting of the God-defying multitude who gather to witness their skill and partake of the other evil spirits dealt out at their bar." Sunday is a lively day in all places of amusement and sin in Oakland. —The Church Advocate says, there are one thousand Chinese converts in San Francisco. The converts have abandoned their idols and heathen vices, have come into the fellowship and under the rules of the different denominations, and by their consistent Christian lives, have shown the depth and sincerity of their religious professions. The evidences that are accepted as guarantee of religious character in the members of other Churches are to be found in these. Despite all the bold assertions to the contrary, the Chinese are susceptible to religious influences, and scores of the most reliable Christian white men of San Francisco can testify to the progress made amongst this people by missionary effort. —A South Bend, Ind., special says : Notre Dame Catholic University is entirely burned down. The Infirmary, Old Men's Home, Music Hall and Mimm's Hall, adjoining, was also burned. No lives were lost. The loss is estimated at from $150,000 to $200,000. Insurance of the University building, $60,000. The circulating library, of 25,000 volumes, valued at $10,000, seventeen pianos and other musical instuments in Music Hall, were burned. The institution was one of the largest of the kind in the West, and was founded by Father Sorin, chief of the Order of Brothers of the Sacred Heart, headquarters at Paris. Emperor Napoleon was a warm friend of the institution, and made it several fine presents, including a chime of bells, one of the largest on the continent. - Thurlow Weed has been titled LL. D.
- The Berlin Industrial Exposition was formally opened May 1.

- Vice-President Wheeler has been called away from the U. S. Senate and Washington by sickness.
- The St. Petersburg Golos says 12,000 prisoners and their families will be exiled from Novgorod to Siberia during the coming summer.
- The Congressional Committee on the cause of business depression, will visit California in July, and take testimony regarding Chinese labor.
- A mountain of volcanic glass has been discovered in the National Park, in Montana. The surface is so smooth that it has not been explored.
- The murderers of the Indians in Mariposa, Cal., have been acquitted. The Stockton Herald says "the trial was not much more than a form."
- The fulfillment of the provisions of the Berlin Conference is not yet complete. Russia, Austria, and minor powers are still contending over them.
- At New York a loan of $2,000,000 has been secured on six-per-cent. bonds of the North Pacific Railroad, for extending the road 200 miles from Bismarck to the Yellowstone.
- Two parties of surveyors left Portland on the 26th ult., for the head of navigation on the Columbia river, to make preliminary surveys for the North Pacific Railroad from there eastward.
- The Government of Brazil decided last month to send a mission to China, to negotiate a treaty with its Government, for the right to import Chinese laborers for work on the plantations.
- The war in South Africa is likely to be prolonged. The Zulus seem to have recovered from their late defeat, and appear in large numbers. The Boers also appear belligerent toward the English.
- Earth taken from a ranch in the Sierra Valley, Sierra county Cal., showed as much grasshopper eggs as earth. Unless the insects migrate after hatching, every spear of grass in the valley will be destroyed.
- The civil Damage Bill, passed by the Massachusetts Legislature, which permits the recovery of damages from the owners of buildings wherein liquor is sold, received the Governor's signature April 30.
- A great fire occurred in the city of Orenburg on the Ural river, April 26 and 27. Loss reported enormous. More than half the population without food and shelter. A violent storm prevailed at the time of the fire.
- For several days experts under the direction of the Grand Jury, have been examining the books of the Treasurer of San Francisco. A defalcation was discovered, and the Deputy Treasurer committed suicide April 28.
- The rumors that the Porte has obtained relief from its most pressing pecuniary embarrassment by raising a loan in London on the surplus revenue of Cyprus, is unfounded. All its financial projects are still unfruitful.
- A great deal has been done to protect the whites from the depredation of Indians. The Administration is now taking steps to protect the Indians on reservations from the depredations of whites. This will no doubt save much in war expenses.
- Doctor Wiede, of Zurich, editor of the Neue Gesellschaft was arrested in Milan on accusation of engaging in a plot to assassinate the Queen of England and the King and Queen of Italy. His friends declare that he is incapable of such a design.
- The London Standard’s Rome special says that it is stated from the Vatican that the Pope has asked the foreign Governments whether he could rely upon their protection, in event of an attack upon the Vatican by the Republicans. Some Powers have replied affirmatively.
- The merchants of New York are said to be thoroughly alarmed at the threat of Congress to cut off the supplies of Government because of the President's recent vote. But capitalists are offering the Administration money with which to carry on the Government during the recess of Congress.
- Dr. Stephen R. Harris died in the Napa Insane Asylum, April 27, aged 77. He was a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York; held an important post in that city; came to California in 1849, and successively held the offices of Mayor, Comptroller, and Coroner of San Francisco.
- Szegedin seems to be doomed. A violent hurricane April 30 destroyed the works prepared for restoring the railway and filling breaches in the dams. Barges filled with building material and earth were mostly sunk. The storm caused extensive fresh breaches in the railway embankment, and the laborers are in great danger.
CHAMBERS’ “English Literature,” Vol. 1, is upon our table. The name of Chambers is a guarantee of the character of this work. When we were younger, and had time to attend to this class of literature, we should have hailed this volume as a valued friend. Vol. 1, covers the period from the earliest times to 1625, with choice extracts from all writers of any note. It is to be completed in eight volumes. FRANKLIN Square, opposite the Court House, in Oakland, was lit up with twelve electric burners, on the night of May 3. We believe this is the second instance of a square being thus lighted, the first being in Cleveland Ohio. Competition to a full moon in a clear atmosphere is not easily appreciated; but the experiment, if it can be called such, was a success. The machinery erected was not quite perfect in its working, but it was demonstrated that our streets may be illuminated with a light far superior to that of gas. Every foot of ground in the plaza was lit up with nearly the distinctness of day-light. Question Answered.

CAN a church of Seventh-day Adventists grant a letter of commendation to a member who does not pay his S. B. pledge? No; the Lord commands us to pay our vows; he says he will require it at our hands, and we cannot honestly keep back that which the Lord claims as his own. The following on the same subject we clip from the last number of the Evangel of San Francisco:— 'What would you do with a member of your church abundantly able, but entirely unwilling to give anything toward the church debt, or the current expenses?' 'We would exclude him if we could get votes enough.' North Pacific T. and M. Society.

The T. and M. work in this Conference is accomplishing some good in the way of putting reading matter into the hands of those who will read. The attention of many is thereby being called to the light that is shining in these last days to prepare a people for the coming of our Saviour. We regret that this report does not give a fair showing of all that is being done. Only about one third of the members have made any report, and those who have handed in reports have given but a partial showing of the work done. Appeal for Camp-Meeting Work
By Isaac D. Van Horn
We are in hopes that this important branch of the work will receive new power at our camp-meetings this year, through the help the Gen. Conference may send us. May it be put in the hearts of all to renew their diligence in this good work that many souls may be brought to the truth, and find their way into the kingdom. I. D. VAN HORN, President. Milton, Oregon, April 21, 1879. Nevada Missionary Work.
By B. A. Stephens
WE have no State T. and M. Society in Nevada, and only two church societies, yet I thought it proper that a published report of their work should be made, that they might be stimulated with zeal to do more. These reports are for the quarter ending March 31st. |

The Reno church has the library of Sr. White's Testimonies; the St. Clair church will do likewise. Let us all work, brethren and sisters, in fear of that coming judgment where we each shall have the record of our lives laid open, where the report of each one's work will be examined, and every one rewarded accordingly. B. A. STEPHENS. Reno, Nevada, April 30, 1879. Family Sabbath-Schools.
By William E. Dawson
No phase of the work for the advancement of present truth is more noticeable than the recent waking up of our people to the importance of the Sabbath-school work. Organization and system—the same forces which have proved so efficient in other departments of the cause—are being brought to bear, and are taking the place of independent action and confusion. Of course, those living in communities where regular Sabbath meetings are maintained are the first to feel the impulse of this forward movement. But why can there not be such a movement “all along the line”? Certainly we who are denied the privilege of joining with our brethren in the worship of God on his holy day, have as great need for a good understanding of his word as have others more fortunately situated. We all need the Sabbath-school, and where we cannot unite with others in this capacity, there should be such a school in every Sabbath-keeping family. No Christian feels at liberty to neglect the worship of God merely because he is not surrounded by sympathizing worshipers. No one who prizes the word of God can afford to neglect its systematic study, even though he may be entirely alone in prosecuting that study. True, where but few of us meet together, we cannot in all cases have a complete Sabbath-school organization; but we can have all the essential features of the best Sabbath-school in the land. We can have the same helps to Bible study, and the same careful preparation of the lesson. We can have a regular hour for recitation, and no tardiness of others will disturb the promptness of our exercise. And, finally, we can ask and receive the blessing of God on our humble efforts to obtain a better understanding of his word. General Meeting in Oakland.
THERE will be a General Meeting of Seventh-day Adventists of California, in Oakland, May 10 and 11. In importance to the cause in this State, this meeting will be second to only the Camp-meeting. Elder Haskell will be here. Let the friends rally. Walla Walla, W. T., June 4—10. Salem, Oregon, June 25—July 1. There will be preaching in both Oakland and San Francisco next Sunday evening. Teachers' Bibles.
By Editor
AFTER a careful examination of many varieties of Bibles, we are satisfied that the Oxford Teachers' Bible presents more advantages than any other we have seen. The print is clear, and the binding substantial. In addition to the authorized text, with references, it contains much that is essential to the study of the Bible, to wit:— 1. Notes on the Old and New Testaments. 2. Index. 3. Concordance. 4. Dictionary of Scriptural Names, with their pronunciation and meaning. 5. Twelve Scripture Maps. The price has been recently reduced, so that they can be offered even lower than the English Bibles we have previously kept. | Number. |
