THE EDUCATIONAL NUMBER

By Editor

of the Signs of the Times presents the neatest appearance of any of the special issues of that paper. The educational theme is a subject that is of interest to all classes of readers; and when considered from a Bible standpoint, it is doubly impressive. That this is true has been clearly demonstrated by the Battle Creek College canvassing class; for when the Educational Number was received, the students, in less than two-hours' time, sold one hundred copies in this city. The articles are so arranged as to enable the canvasser to give a live and interesting canvass to the people, with little difficulty. The educational symposium on page 8 is a great selling feature of the paper. Hundreds of thousands of copies of this issue should be scattered by our people.

Finns Migrating to the United States

ON account of Russia's late dealing with them, the Finns are preparing to migrate to the United States. One steamship line alone has arranged to bring fifty-five thousand of them across the seas.

Michigan State Prohibition Conference

The Michigan State Prohibition Conference and convention will be held in Grand Rapids, March 29, 30. All railroads in the Michigan Passenger Association will sell round-trip tickets at one fare.

Isis Worship Revived in Paris

THE ancient Egyptian Isis worship has been revived in Paris by “a Scotch gentleman of fortune and his wife.” It is said that at the celebration of an Isis mass “the ceremony was artistic in the extreme.”

A Prominent Frenchman Converts to Rome

A PROMINENT Frenchman who is a recent “convert” to Roman Catholicism “asserts the triumph of faith,—the unification of all churches, with the Roman Church as chief, and the city of Rome as its seat.”

A High Estimate of Heresy Trials

THE Christian Advocate says: “We regard a heresy trial in the same light that we do a surgical operation. If there is no occasion for it, it’s butchery. If there is, and it is successful, it is the happiest combination of science and art known to man.” That certainly is a very high estimate of a successful heresy trial.

Holser Enjoys Egypt’s Climate

In a private letter, dated Helonan, Egypt, Feb. 5, 1900, Brother Holser says: “We are now enjoying delightful weather—almost continual sunshine. Temperature night and day varies from 58° to 65°–70°. The climate is doing me good.” We know that all the REVIEW family will be glad to read that word.

Sunday Enforcement Still a Live Issue

IF anybody should be under the impression that the Sunday enforcement issue is in any wise past, just let him read the American Sentinel of March 15, 1900. In that one issue it is seen that Sunday enforcement and opposition to the Sabbath is a live matter in no less than eight States, east and west, north and south. It is high time to awake out of sleep.

Chinese Imperial Edict Imprisons Railway Concession Adviser

A CHINESE imperial edict directs the imprisonment for life of Wu Shih Chiu, for assisting the Peking syndicate to get the Ho-Nan railway concession. The British minister, Sir Claude McDonald, has sought in vain to mitigate the sentence. The case is regarded as “calling for energetic action, because it is bound to produce a bad effect upon all business between Chinese and foreigners.”

America Becomes an Eastern Power

WASHINGTON correspondence of the New York Tribune of February 27, reporting from “a high authority of the State Department,” says: “By the Treaty of Paris we came into possession of the Philippine Islands; and, from having purely commercial interests in the far East, we became an Eastern power, and an active participant in Asiatic politics.”

Modern Travel Accommodations in Egypt

The New York Tribune gathers from an Egyptian paper that “first-class, up-to-date modern dining-cars” are to be run this season between Cairo and Luxor, and that “an American dentist has started in business at Assuan, which is on the edge of the Sudan.” A “palace hotel” at Khartum for the special accommodation of tourists will also be completed and opened for business in about three months.

Anarchists Threaten Queen Victoria’s Safety

ON account of French bitterness against Britain, and even against herself, Queen Victoria could not make her annual sojourn in the south of France; and contemplated making it in Italy. But the government of Italy was obliged to inform her that on account of the prevalence of the anarchists the government could not with certainty guarantee her safety. It will be remembered that the empress of Austria was murdered by an Italian anarchist at Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 10, 1898.

The British Empire and the War

At the beginning of the present war it was confessed that for Britain to fail would mean the going to pieces of the British Empire; and it was feared that there would be such interference as to cause Britain to fail. But the greatest and most interested powers and nearly all others now agree that the fall of the British Empire would be a greater calamity to the world than the surrender of the Boers could possibly be—a calamity for which the world is not ready; therefore they all maintain strict neutrality as between the combatants,—and refrain from harassing Britain or taking advantage of her in other places. For it is altogether questionable whether all that Russia is doing would not be done even if Britain were not engaged at all.

Afghanistan’s Policy Toward Britain and Russia

The emir of Afghanistan has authorized his agent in London to publish a statement of the policy of Afghanistan toward Great Britain and Russia. Speaking of his anxiety regarding “the possibility of Russia’s taking advantage of the Transvaal war to advance through Afghanistan on India,” the emir says: “I have come to the conclusion that Russia feared Afghanistan, as a war with the Afghans would mean a general rising of all Islam, which would spread through Russia in Asia. Russia has not troops enough to combat such a rising. Her hold on the Mussulman countries she has conquered is insecure. They hate her; and with ten times her power, Russia could not fight Afghanistan and India successfully. The Afghans prefer death to slavery and their women and children being taken by the Russians.” After saying that he is willing to send numerous troops to help Great Britain in the Transvaal, but adding that the Afghans are unaccustomed to the sea, the emir again adds: “But England’s troubles are always my troubles, her strength is my strength, and her weakness is my weakness. England must remember that I am always ready to fight for her on land — here or in India.”

Russia’s Profitable Loans

New Russia “loaned” to Persia, a few weeks ago, six million dollars. She is just now arranging a “loan” to Corea of between six and seven million dollars. And she borrows just now also twenty-five million dollars in the United States. Now it is not true financial principle to borrow money to loan, except upon the practical certainty of very large profits. And if anybody thinks that in these deals Russia is not acting in view of the practical certainty of very large profits, then he must be very blind.

THE WORLD'S HARVEST SIGNS.

ITS influence for good is being felt. A sister in California reports two families won to the truth of Christ through the Harvest Number of the Signs of the Times.

Agents are still having good success in selling it. February 4 one brother in Iowa writes: “Inclosed you will find a subscription I secured the other day while selling the Harvest Number of the Signs. I have sold four hundred and thirty-seven copies this winter, and expect to sell at least two hundred more.”

Writing again, under date of March 2, the same brother says: “I sold my last copy of the World's Harvest Signs yesterday. Have sold six hundred and thirty-five copies in all. I shall return to Michigan next week, and canvass a few weeks for subscriptions.”

Another, February 18, wrote: “I have been working with the Harvest Number. When I first received the paper, the city had an epidemic of smallpox, and I did not work much till after the holidays, and then had to go six miles. The Lord wonderfully blessed me. I realized that the angels had indeed gone before. I went where I had placed the Centennial Number, and the people wished this number. The Lord blesses me much in my work with the paper.”

The demand for the paper still continues. Orders for it are received daily. To supply the demand a new edition was finished up a few days ago.

There is no time like the present in which to work. Does the Lord impress your mind that you ought to do something for him? Then undertake it in the name and strength of him who said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” “And, lo, I am with you alway.” Write for helps in the way of canvassing outfit, terms, etc., to Signs of the Times, Oakland, Cal.
