Notes and clippings from the daily and weekly press
— A carpet company of Yonkers, N. Y., recently distributed to its employees of ten years’ standing a sum amounting to more than $40,000, as a share in its profits.
— A letter sent in 1660 by Francis Howgill, an English Quaker, to an address in Durham was recently delivered by the English post-office. The letter had been lost in London for two hundred fifty years. It was found in the Public Record Office and forwarded to Durham.
— Five-and-ten-cent stores, which are proving so popular in America, are to be introduced in England, ten of them in London alone. One of the companies operating these stores is putting up a fifty-seven-story building in New York City. Truly “many a little makes a mickle.”
— Now comes the aero gun, devised for the purpose of bringing hostile airships to earth. In a test recently made by the Navy Department, a shell from one of these guns reached a height of 18,000 feet—several thousand feet higher than has as yet been attained by the aeroplane.
— Phileas Fogg, Jules Verne’s celebrated English traveler in “Around the World in Eighty Days,” has had his record cut in two by a Frenchman of German extraction, M. Jager-Schmidt, who has girdled the earth in 39 days, 19 hours. The Siberian Railway was the principal factor in lessening the time required for the trip.
— “All the devices for protecting railway crossings, aside from the removal of them from grade,” says the Brooklyn Eagle, “are futile.” Automobilists dash under gates and through those that are down, run past flagmen, and ignore warning bells. “Not until grade crossings are abolished will the public cease to be shocked by fatalities.”
— The use of coffee seems to be declining in the United States. In 1902, 1,057,220,000 pounds were used; in 1910, 860,414,000 pounds, notwithstanding the increase in population. The reason for the decline is obscure. Chocolate, cocoa, and cereal substitutes may have displaced coffee to a slight extent, but scarcely to the amount of hundreds of millions of pounds.
— The difficulties of maintaining such quarantine regulations as will effectively stamp out the cholera now so prevalent in Italy and about the shores of the Mediterranean, were brought to light a few days since in despatches from Switzerland which state that the inhabitants of some of the interior towns of Italy, enraged by the sanitary measures of the authorities, and being convinced that it was their intention to kill the patients whom they had isolated, gathered to the number of several thousand, and having stormed the hospital, carried the cholera patients in ghastly procession through the town. The Italian government has been reduced to the necessity of ordering out the troops for the purpose of protecting these people against themselves.
— Freight carriers by land seem to be emulating, in the building of enormous railway locomotives, the huge vessels that now transport merchandise by sea. The Santa Fé Railway is constructing for its freight service ten locomotives that will weigh 208 tons each. With their tenders, which will carry both coal and oil, they will weigh 850,000 pounds, or 425 tons, each.
— A hurricane of great violence and accompanied by a deluge of rain raged over the Vesuvian region, September 26, causing a heavy loss of life and enormous damage to property. It is estimated that fifty persons were killed. Houses were razed by the wind, while others were inundated. Numerous boats in the Bay of Naples are missing, and are believed to have been sunk.
— North-bound Northwestern Railroad passenger-train, No. 121, crashed into a hay-rack party at the Commercial Street intersection, at Neenah, Wis., September 24, killing twelve persons outright, and injuring one, who died a few hours later. Nine others were hurt, four of them perhaps fatally. Eight occupants of the wagon, including the driver, escaped with slight injuries. Most of the victims were residents of Menasha.
— The Laurier government and reciprocity suffered an overwhelming defeat in the Canadian elections held September 21. By a veritable political landslide, the liberal majority of forty-three in parliament was swept away, and the conservative party secured a majority of forty or more. Seven cabinet ministers who had served with Premier Laurier were among the defeated candidates. The liberals lost ground in practically every province of the Dominion. Where they won, their majorities were small. Where the conservatives won, their majorities were tremendous.
— A census report just published has to do with prisons, almshouses, and insane asylums of the United States. The population in all these institutions shows considerable increase. In the jails and penitentiaries, Jan. 1, 1910, there were 110,000 persons; in the almshouses, 83,944 inmates; in insane asylums, 184,123, an increase of 26 per cent in six years; in institutions for the feeble-minded, 20,190. If all who might properly be put in one or other of these classes, but are at large in society, were reckoned up, the total would be more depressing than it is.
— The Russian ministry of marine has awarded contracts for building three new battle-ships, six submarines, and nine torpedo-boat destroyers. Two of the battle-ships are to be added to the Black Sea fleet, which means that under the special regulation applied by all Europe to the Dardanelles and the Bosporus these vessels can never pass through these waters to the Mediterranean, and will be available only in the Black Sea. The remaining battle-ship, with the destroyers and the submarines, is to be built on the Baltic, and will be available for use wherever Russia wishes to send them. The battle-ships will each cost about $9,500,000, with $4,350,000 additional for armor and guns. They will be of 22,000 tons, and will carry thirteen-inch guns. The submarines will cost $800,000 each, and the destroyers about $1,000,000. This expenditure of more than $50,000,000 for new construction indicates that Russia has no intention of remaining in the position in which the Russian war placed her.
— Sending dolls from America to France and Germany would seem to be even more inadvisable than the traditional taking of coals to Newcastle, but it is said that American dolls of the unbreakable sort are now being exported in considerable numbers to those countries. Children everywhere are attracted by the unconventional, human-like faces that distinguish these dolls.
— One hundred seventy towns will be started in western Canada this year, an average of one for nearly every two days. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company will start fifty new communities; the Grand Trunk Pacific, twenty-four; and the Canadian Northern, ninety-six. Surveys have been made for most of the new towns, and many of them already have been named.
— On September 15 President Taft made public a letter in which Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry in the Department of Agriculture, was vindicated and cleared of all charges made against him by the personnel board of the department. Mr. Taft was most hearty in his commendation of Dr. Wiley’s administration of his office, and expressed his sympathy for the doctor, who has been so maligned by some of the food interests of the country. Dr. Wiley made public his reply containing his thanks to the President, and to the press, which has supported him throughout this ordeal.
— The battle-ship “Liberte” was torn apart and destroyed by an explosion of her magazines at Toulon, France, September 25. Latest figures give the death list as 235 officers and men, with 160 wounded. The battle-ship “Republique” was badly damaged, and the battle-ships “Democratie” and “Verite” also suffered severely from the masses of twisted iron and armor-plate that were hurled upon their decks. This is the greatest disaster that has ever fallen upon the French navy, and, in magnitude, is almost without precedent in the annals of the world’s fighting ships. The unfortunate battle-ship was of recent construction, costing $8,000,000.
— A large consignment of rifles, automatic pistols, and ammunition of the most modern type recently reached the Vatican after some trouble at the frontier. The Italian custom-house officials were rather surprised at the warlike nature of the merchandise addressed to Cardinal Merry del Val, and telegraphed to Rome for instructions. The prime minister at once wired back authorizing the delivery of the goods free of charge, as provided by a clause in the law of guaranties, which is scrupulously respected by the Italian government, although not recognized by the Holy See. It is now learned that these modern weapons have been ordered by the cardinal secretary of state to replace the obsolete guns with which the papal Swiss guards and gendarmes have hitherto been armed. As the Vatican maintains a small army of several hundred men, it is the cardinal’s opinion that they should be furnished with the most up-to-date weapons instead of flint-lock guns and the halberds of the time of Michelangelo.

He and his companion enjoyed a happy union in the message until his death. Brother Royer loved the truth, and it was his hope until the last. He leaves a companion, two brothers, two sisters, and many friends to mourn. The services were conducted by Elder A. M. Dart and the writer, at Portland, Ore., where Brother Royer will sleep until the resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken from Isa. 61:1-3. G. W. Pettit.
Lansdown.—Laura May Lansdown was born in Camden, N. J., Oct. 18, 1878, and died in the same city, Aug. 27, 1911, aged 32 years, 10 months, and 9 days. She professed conversion at the age of twelve, and upon baptism became a member of the Camden church, where she remained until a few years ago when she transferred her name to the West Philadelphia church. It was the writer’s privilege to visit her a few hours before her death, and to hear her speak of her confidence in God, and of her hope in the first resurrection. She leaves a mother, brother, sister, and other relatives to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. W. Jay Tanner.
Craw.—Hiram A. Craw died at his home in Bowling Green, Ohio, Aug. 31, 1911, aged eighty-two years. Brother Craw was converted to the advent truth in 1858. When our denomination was organized at Battle Creek, in 1861, and it was decided that our denominational name should be Seventh-day Adventists, Brother Craw was present, representing the believers of northwestern Ohio. His faith in the message has never wavered. His wife, children, and other relatives have the sympathy of a large number of friends who held our brother in high esteem. We laid him to rest, believing that he will be among those who will come forth at the resurrection of the just. H. M. Jump.
Jones.—Mrs. Minnie Inhardt Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Inhardt, was born in Albion, Mich., Oct. 16, 1886, and died Aug. 23, 1911, aged 30 years, 10 months, and 7 days. Miss Inhardt was baptized at the age of sixteen years, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Lansing, Mich., where she retained her membership until her death.

After leaving Michigan, they lived a number of years in Idaho, coming to Los Angeles last November. She leaves a husband, father, mother, brother, and four sisters. Sister Jones had a bright Christian experience, and died in the hope of a glorious resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. J. W. Adams.

Her first marriage was to David Koonts in 1856, who preceded her in death. In 1871 she was married to Jacob Myers. In 1879, under the labors of Brethren Underwood and Rupert, she and her husband accepted the third angel’s message and became charter members of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Dunkirk, of which she remained a member until her death. She leaves to mourn their loss an aged husband, three daughters, and other relatives, together with a large circle of friends.

Her hope was bright, and she died with the full assurance of the soon triumph of the message. The husband, one daughter, two brothers, and three sisters are left to mourn. Elder K. C. Russell spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing friends at Takoma Park. The remains were then taken to Kokomo, Ind., for burial, where services were conducted by the writer, before a large concourse of friends and relatives. A. L. Miller.23

His was an unselfish Christian life. He leaves a stepmother, two brothers, and four sisters to mourn their loss. After prayer at the home, many friends followed the remains to the Lakeview chapel, where words of comfort were spoken by the writer, after which the body was laid to rest in the Lakeview cemetery, to await the soon coming of the Life-giver. Stemple White.

She was married to father, April 5, 1850, at her home in Newport, and to this union four boys were born. They came to Iowa in 1854, and located in Cedar County. Mother lived in Cedar County (except a short time in Clinton County) until 1882, when she came to Carroll, Iowa, and lived there until 1900. She then took up her residence at Lake City, Iowa. About 1877 she accepted the faith held by Seventh-day Adventists. We are comforted by the thought that she sleeps in Jesus. Funeral services were conducted at her late home, where words of comfort were spoken by Brother M. W. Lewis, of Burlington, Iowa, from 1 Thess. 4:13-18. D. J. Scott.
Slayter.—Annie Jane Davis was born in Davis County, Iowa, Jan. 3, 1867, and died at Hopewell, Ore., Aug. 30, 1911. With her parents she had resided in a number of States, but in 1890 the family moved to Oregon, where she remained until her death. She was married to George Hawes in 1891, and five years later was left a widow with two children. In 1898 she was united in marriage to P. H. Slayter. To this union were born four children. Our sister was converted and baptized at the age of eighteen and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Springdale, Ark. She has been a faithful member of this denomination ever since. Her Christian experience was very bright. She leaves a husband, six children, a mother, three brothers, and four sisters, with a large circle of friends to mourn. We lay her to rest, confident that, if faithful, we shall meet her on the resurrection morning. P. A. Hanson.
Taylor.—Alicia M. Brennan was born in Nova Scotia, April 11, 1848. She came to Ottawa County, Michigan, in 1859, and was married to M. V. Taylor, Dec. 11, 1865. Seven children were born to this union, three of whom died in childhood. She and her husband accepted the Seventh-day Adventist faith in 1869, under the ministry of Elder I. D. Van Horn. For nearly seventeen years Sister Taylor had been a faithful and much-loved member of the Grandville (Mich.) church. She fell asleep in Jesus, at Grandville, Mich., Aug. 13, 1911. Her husband, four children, one brother, and two sisters survive her. Words of comfort were spoken from Col. 3:2-4, by Elder C. A. Hansen, assisted by the writer. A. Smith.
Kane.—Robinson P. Kane was born in Fayette, Iowa, July 8, 1886, and died at Sierra Madre, Cal., Aug. 18, 1911, aged 25 years, 1 month, and 10 days. Brother Robbie, as he was always known to his friends, has through his entire life been “an example of the believers,” and has left to our young people a noble example of faithfulness to God and the truth, even in the face of disappointment, sorrow, sickness, and death. The fourth of the family to die in less than three years, he leaves the mother to mourn alone in the depths of human sorrow, but to rejoice in the hope of a united family in the life to come. In this hope she reaps a part of the reward of her faithfulness in training her children for places with the Lord when he shall appear. B. E. Fullmer.
Ness.—Andrew Ness was born in Fifeshire, Scotland, April 27, 1843, and died at Kansas City, Kan., Aug. 8, 1911, aged 68 years, 3 months, and 11 days. In 1868 he was united in marriage to Miss Jane Scott, who survives him, and is a “widow indeed,” for no children were born to this union. For twenty years Brother Ness has been “looking for that blessed hope,” the coming of our Saviour. His zeal in giving and living the message all these years has won stars for his crown. The greater part of his life in America was spent in the Eastern States, but during his short stay in Kansas he has made many warm friends. Funeral services were held in the First Seventh-day Adventist church, August 10, conducted by the writer. Interment was made in the Mount Hope Cemetery. W. H. Clark.
Potter.—Phœba Electa Potter (née Barnes) was born Aug. 24, 1823, in Yates County, New York, and died July 12, 1911, aged 87 years, 10 months, and 18 days. She was reared in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and at twenty years of age was married to John D. Potter. To them were born nine children, five preceding their mother in death. Sister Potter and family came to Michigan forty-seven years ago, and this State has been her home ever since. She became a Christian early in life, and after a number of years united with the Seventh-day Adventists. She was a faithful and devoted mother, and at the time of her death was living with her daughters. There are also left two aged sisters and other relatives. Funeral services were conducted by the writer at Cedar Lake. Interment took place in Home Township cemetery. J. G. Lamson.
Dopp.—Mary Jane Kerns was born at Easton, Mo., Jan. 10, 1840. At the age of twenty-two she was married to J. F. Dopp. She moved to Nevada in 1903, and stayed until 1907, when she came to Medford, Ore. Here she remained until her death, July 25, 1911. In the year 1886 she became a believer in the Adventist faith, and remained faithful to the end. Her life was a pattern of patience and faith, and with Christian fortitude she endured the terrible suffering caused by the disease to which she succumbed. As the writer visited her in the closing days of her life, he saw in this dear mother in Israel an example of what the blessed hope can do for one who resigns all to the will of God. Sister Dopp leaves five daughters and two sons to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder W. L. Black, from 1 Thess. 4:14. Kathleen M. Black.
Drulard.—Allen J. Drulard died Aug. 15, 1911, at San Bernardino, Cal. He was born in Illinois, Feb. 2, 1833. He united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church about thirty-nine years ago, and was a faithful, consistent Christian. He was a veteran of the Texas and civil wars. A wife and a stepdaughter mourn their loss. The funeral sermon was preached by Brother White, of Loma Linda, Cal. Mrs. Kate Drulard.
Sartorius.—John G. Sartorius was born in Lee County, Illinois, Sept. 19, 1863, and died Sept. 9, 1911, at Marshalltown, Iowa. Brother Sartorius enlisted in the Twenty-fourth Illinois Infantry at the outbreak of the civil war, and served about four years. He embraced the third angel’s message over twenty years ago under the preaching of Elder A. A. John, and remained faithful to the end. He had been in poor health for ten years previous to his death, but bore his sufferings with great patience. A wife and three children mourn the loss of husband and father. M. N. Campbell.
Raney.—James P. Raney was born in Tennessee, Aug. 20, 1846, and died at La Junta, Colo., Sept. 5, 1911. While away from his home at Guthrie, Okla., he contracted typhoid fever, and died before any of his family knew that he was sick. At the age of twenty-one he joined the Baptist Church. He moved to Oklahoma in 1889, and here he heard the third angel’s message, and accepted it. He was a firm believer in our faith until the time of his death. He was a devoted husband and loving father, and it was his delight to talk on Bible subjects. He leaves a wife, five daughters, and one son to mourn their loss. Andrew Nelson.
Wall.—Sarah Ann Phipps-Wall, of Woodland, Cal., was born in Warrensburg, Ohio, Jan. 14, 1831, and passed peacefully away at the St. Helena Sanitarium, Sept. 9, 1911, after many months of extreme suffering. Throughout this period of affliction her Christian fortitude and patience was that becoming a true Christian. Sister Wall was married to Charles Henry Wall in 1858. She was converted in early life. She heard and accepted present truth under the labors of Elders M. E. Cornell and J. N. Loughborough many years ago, and became a charter member of the Woodland church, of which she was still a member at the time of her decease. She leaves a son and a daughter, who together with other relatives and many friends mourn their loss, but not as those without hope. H. W. Cottrell.

News from the Field
In a letter written August 30, J. L. Shaw states that a telegram had just been received announcing the death of Gerald, the little six-year-old son of Brother George F. Enoch. Particulars were not contained in the telegram, but it was thought to have been caused by sunstroke. These faithful workers will have the sympathy of all in this time of their sorrow.
Mrs. E. Myrtle Asay passed through Washington last week on her return from Wales, where she has been engaged in successful Bible work the past nine years. She went on to Iowa to visit among relatives and friends.
Medical and Publishing Work in the Field
AFTER being connected with the medical work in Washington for the last two years, Drs. R. S. and Olive Ingersoll have moved to Richmond, Va., where they will engage in self-supporting medical missionary work. By their genial ways and Christian spirit they have endeared themselves to a large circle of friends, who will wish for them abundant success in their new field of labor. Their connection with the work in Richmond will serve greatly to strengthen the hands of the little company of believers in that city, and will give impetus to the work which should be done in that important center. Mrs. Olney, the mother of Mrs. Ingersoll, accompanies them to Richmond.
THE first number of a French magazine, the Sentinel, comes to us filled with present truth, containing thirty-two pages and excellent illustrations, edited by Elder G. G. Roth, in charge of the French work in this country. The journal is published by the International Publishing Association at College View, Neb. As soon as the edition of five thousand copies is circulated, another number will be issued. This gives the French brethren and sisters a beautiful journal with which to work for their own people, or for any one to place in the hands of French neighbors. Its distribution can not fail to accomplish much good. Let all aid in the circulation of this new evangel.
Fourth Sabbath Missionary Meeting
By William T. Knox
THE attention of our ministers and church elders is especially directed to the article appearing on page 19, containing a suggestive program for the October fourth Sabbath missionary meeting. This program contains many valuable suggestions, and it is believed that wherever it is used, in whole or in part, by any of our churches, it will prove very helpful in this special Sabbath service, and also give a decided impetus to our coming Harvest Ingathering campaign, which is scheduled to begin October 30. We hope, therefore, that careful and early consideration will be given to this article by those upon whom will devolve the responsibility of providing for the next missionary service.

THE result of the Maine election is still in doubt so far as the repeal of the prohibition clause to its constitution is concerned. The closeness of the contest affords little satisfaction to the liquor element, even if the forces of prohibition must admit defeat. It calls for an earnest educational campaign in behalf of temperance principles.
No Room for Discouragement
BROTHER F. A. ALLUM, of Honan, China, writes: “Please tell the brethren in America that we are by no means discouraged. The work is onward. At the close of 1910 we had sixty-four church-members in the North Central China Mission. Now, August 16, we have one hundred four, and expect to have more before the end of the year. In a work like this there is no room for discouragement.”
New Mission Station in Korea
AUGUST 29, Brother C. L. Butterfield writes, was celebrated in Korea as “annexation day,”—the day when Japan assumed great control of affairs. Our brethren are greatly encouraged by annexing a new mission station in southern Korea to mission property already acquired in the land of Korea. It is situated sixty-seven miles south of Fusan, being about two hundred miles south of Seoul. Brother and Sister Wangerin have already taken possession and begun work at the new mission station.
The Minister's Source of Power
The minister of the gospel is in a class all by himself so far as his particular work and calling are concerned. When his work becomes mechanical, and he loses from his heart the power and spirit of his holy calling, the effect will be seen in his labor. Speaking of this, a recent writer says:—
“A doctor may be an invalid and yet cure the sick; a lawyer may be a law-breaker and enforce the law on others. But a minister can not be spiritually inert and impart spirituality to his fellow men. He can not pick it up as a thing alien to his nature and carry it with him into the pulpit. The congregation instinctively recognizes the difference between the minister whose prayers are a private habit and the one whose prayers are only a public exercise. It instinctively recognizes the difference between the preacher whose sermon is the prepared exposition of a doctrine and the one whose sermon is instinct with his own spiritual life. The first preaches as the scribes; the second as one having authority.”

Correction of Manchester Report
UNDER “Field Notes” in the REVIEW of September 14, six families of Sabbath-keepers were reported as the result of Elder G. G. Roth’s work at Manchester, N. H. A letter from Brother Roth says this is a mistake. A number are deeply interested, but the future must determine the full result of the effort.
