Glendale Sanitarium Training School for Missionary Nurses

WE desire at least twenty-five young people for our nurses’ class to begin June 1, 1911. Applicants will be admitted to the class any time during May and June, but it is well to enter as early as possible.
We are now able to offer a strong course, in which an exceptionally large amount of valuable practical experience may be obtained. Our proximity to Los Angeles enables us to give our nurses a thorough training, each nurse spending some time in visiting nurse’s work in this city. We desire to put at least twelve nurses into Los Angeles during the next few months to help do the work there that we are being called to do in all our large cities. We can do this and more if our young people will respond to this call. The training that we can offer is one which many of our young people, if not all, should have in order to prepare them for active missionary service as nurses, canvassers, and Bible workers.
We are preparing to open up a surgical ward in our sanitarium, and this will greatly increase our surgical and obstetrical work.
Those desiring to enter should apply as early as possible to Belle Wood-Comstock, M. D., Glendale, Cal.

Summer Campaign for “Education”

By Editor

THE annual campaign number of our educational journal will be ready about the first of June. This is six weeks earlier than last year, and we hope it may have a much larger circulation. Its special purpose is to aid in filling our schools, and in forming a just appreciation of the responsibilities and aims of our educational work.

Special Features

Special Cover Design: “I’ll Find a Way or Make It.” Frontispiece: Building for High Achievement. Openings for the Educated. Two Symposia by Students:—
  1. What I Am Getting Out of My School Work.
  2. How I Am Making Ends Meet in Getting an Education.
The Educational Rights of Our Children. Why We Operate Denominational Schools. The School as a Factor in Mission Work. The Missionary’s Educational Equipment. Called to Be a Teacher. The Compensations of the Teacher. The Work of the Home School.
Each school can prepare its own special circular for enclosure in the journals used for distribution. Orders for fifty or more may be divided, if desired, part being sent to one place and part to another. This number will be useful late into the autumn. Be sure to order enough to fill all your needs. The school orders last year ranged from one hundred to twelve hundred each; some advance should be made upon that this year.
Our edition of ten thousand last year fell much short of meeting the demand. Three to five times that number ought to be used this year. Educational work is a very vital part of giving the last-day message, and every effort should be made to stir up a proper sentiment regarding it, and to fill our schools with recruits.
We urge upon all readers of this notice, official or layman, teacher or student, to send in their orders at the earliest possible date, to aid us in determining the size of our printing order.

Terms

1 to 4 copies, 10 cents each; 5 to 40 copies, one order, one address, 5 cents a copy; 50 or more copies, one order, 4 cents a copy.

She was converted at an early age, and later accepted the faith of the Seventh-day Adventists, and was a member of the church at Artesian at the time of her death.

In 1892 he moved to College View to educate his children. Twelve years ago he came to Longmont, Colo., where he has since resided. He was married to Lucy S. Purham, April 16, 1902.

Text, Job 14:12. She was buried in Maple Hill Cemetery. A. L. Lingle.

In 1900 he was converted, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church of Rapson, being a charter member. His consistent Christian life and devoted service to his Master endeared him to his brethren, and the many friends who gathered at the church for the final service bore testimony of his life to the glory of the Saviour. Chance Wood.
Judd.—Florence Victoria Kilborn was born in Waterloo, Ont., Canada, May 24, 1849, and died at the home of her son in Fraser, Idaho, April 20, 1911, aged 71 years, 11 months, and 16 days. When a young woman, she moved with her parents to Illinois, where she was united in marriage to George H. Judd, Jan. 9, 1864. Three children were born to this union. For some time they lived in Kansas; later they moved to California, where Mrs. Judd first heard and accepted the third angel’s message. In 1904 they came to Newton, Kans., and shortly afterward Mr. Judd died. Our sister leaves a brother, two sons, and a daughter to mourn. The funeral service was conducted by Elder Woodward (Methodist). The remains were brought from Fraser to Newton for interment. Mrs. M. L. Lawey.
Crane.—Gertrude Grainger Crane was born at Christine, Mendocino Co., Cal., in 1878, and died at Bowling Green, Fla., April 1, 1911. Her noble father, Elder W. C. Grainger, was well known in this denomination. He was our first missionary to Japan, where he labored unceasingly for three years, and died Oct. 31, 1899. Gertrude assisted her parents in their efforts to present the truth to those interesting people. She was very helpful and earnest in her work. After the death of Elder Grainger, she returned with her mother to America, leaving with a sad heart her only sister, Mrs. W. D. Burden and her husband and two little boys. She was married to H. W. Crane, April 14, 1907. About one year ago they learned that her lungs were seriously affected. Hoping that the climate of Florida would help her, we then urged the little family of three to come home, where her mother could care for her. They came in August, 1910, and we have all been together these eight months, thankful for the privilege of doing all that could be done for Gertrude’s recovery. She was brave and cheerful, patient and hopeful, never a murmur from her lips. She longed to live. She loved her husband and her little boy, and felt that she could not leave them. At last she gave up hope, and requested our prayers that the Lord would help her in the last struggle with the enemy. The Lord heard our prayers, and she fell asleep without a struggle. She was conscious to the very last. She trusted in God, and said it was all right. The funeral was attended by many of the best citizens. Brief services were held at the grave. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the dear sister and her little family in far-away Japan, in this time of sore bereavement. Gertrude leaves a kind husband, a baby fifteen months old, a sister, and her mother (Mrs. Geo. I. Butler), who will keenly and always suffer her loss. Geo. I. Butler.

Elder Jayne Returns to Evangelistic Work

On invitation of the General Conference Committee, Elder J. E. Jayne, of Philadelphia, has accepted a call to engage in evangelistic work in the New York Conference. Elder Jayne has for several years been engaged in business, but is glad to again respond to the call into the evangelistic field.

Work Among English-Speaking People in India

For some time the call has been coming for laborers to take up work among the English-speaking people in the populous centers of India, such as Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, and other parts. The General Conference Committee has invited Elder C. B. Haynes and wife, of Baltimore, to go to India in the autumn, to begin this long-neglected work.

Writing from Manila

WRITING under date of March 20, from Manila, Philippine Islands, Elder L. V. Finster says: “We have had our first baptism in the Philippines, and have organized our first church, of twenty-four members. We feel very thankful to see a small beginning made in this dark land.” Elder I. H. Evans had just left the Philippines for China at the time this letter was written.

Virginia Conference Expands Evangelistic Work

THE Virginia Conference is working earnestly with the resources at command to enlarge its evangelistic activities. In addition to other new workers arranged for, that conference has invited Brother L. O. Gordon, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, formerly of Iowa, to engage in the work in Virginia.

Two Excellent Journals

On page 22 of this number will be found the announcement of two excellent journals. The greatly increased circulation of the Watchman over last year shows both its growing popularity and increasing merit. This paper stands as a splendid exponent of gospel truth applicable to this generation. Christian Education appeals not only to teachers, but to all interested in the great mission it represents,—the true education of the heart, the head, and the hand. Teachers, ministers, and parents should be regular readers of this excellent journal.

An Appeal for Portland, Maine

By Arthur G. Daniells

IN another column is an earnest appeal from Sister E. G. White to all our people throughout the United States, asking for help for a church in Portland, Maine, which our Maine brethren have proposed to call the White Memorial Church. This appeal should meet with a ready response from our people everywhere. The amount asked for from each one is small; yet if all respond, the help to this worthy enterprise will be considerable.
FOR years the Maine Conference has been in need of help, and it is not able to bear the heavy burden of paying for this church. The building is now finished, and ready for use; but there is an indebtedness of nearly eight thousand dollars, which can be quickly raised if all our people will consider it a privilege to respond to this earnest appeal from the servant of the Lord.
Will not our ministers and church elders present this matter to the members of our churches, and then see that all donations are sent forward through the conference office, plainly marked for the White Memorial Church, Portland, Maine? A. G. DANIELLS.

Death of Brother Ernest Raessler

The mail from Europe brings word that our German brethren are once again called upon to suffer the loss of a valiant soldier fighting the battles of this missionary cause in tropical Africa. Elder G. Dail, secretary for Europe, writes that by cable from German East Africa they have the report of the death of Brother Ernest Raessler, of the German Victoria Nyanza Mission. He died of the blackwater fever. Mail news had previously brought information that Sister Raessler was ill with the same fever. Evidently she made a recovery, and her husband, who later took the disease, has fallen at his post. Our hearty sympathy goes out to Sister Raessler and the little band of workers in the Victoria Nyanza Mission. Experience shows that none are more earnest to hold to the field, and see still more workers associated with them, than those who are fighting the battle of this message in the most unhealthful regions of the world. And the wonderful development of the school work in Central Africa shows that the Lord of the harvest is blessing the self-sacrificing laborers.

Webster Family to Labor in South Carolina

We have word that Elder F. C. Webster and wife, of New York, have accepted the invitation of the General Conference Committee to make South Carolina their field of labor.

French Sabbath-Keepers of Canada

THE excellent report of G. G. Roth, in our Field department, of his visit to the French Sabbath-keepers of Canada, will be read with deep interest. The fact that even outside of denominational influence men and women in different parts of the world are stirred up to study the Scriptures of truth, and by that study are brought to take their stand upon the vital principles of this movement, shows indeed that God has a message to go to the world, and that his Spirit is abroad in the earth affecting the hearts of men, and responding to their desires for a clearer knowledge of his will. This should prove an encouragement to missionary labor.

The Value of General Laborers’ Visits

The value to the cause of truth through the occasional visits of general laborers to foreign fields is shown by the article from Elder J. W. Westphal, on page 10. The visits of general laborers, the exchange of workers, together with general meetings, and the influence of our church papers, have done much through the blessing of God to preserve the unity of this work. Without unity and hearty co-operation, the forces engaged in this movement would soon disintegrate. It is difficult to improve over the early gospel methods of such workers as Peter and Paul. Their visits to the disciples and their labors among the churches served, under the blessing of the Lord, to make of one heart and of one soul the believers in the early church.
