The Summary
By Editor
WE were sorry to send our summary to the REVIEW this month without full reports from Canada. There are also some foreign reports lacking. But notwithstanding this, all will be glad to see that the summary is considerably larger than for October of last year. It is a matter of encouragement to see the foreign reports steadily growing month by month.

Peru
By E. T. Wilson
VERY good reports are coming in, considering the close times we are having here. You know this country hardly finishes with one revolution until she is in another; and since the trouble with Ecuador, times have been pretty close. At the present time there is a great deal of talk about a revolution; but we thank God that we are still able to place some of the precious literature in the hands of the people.
I had very good success with religious books in the same territory where I sold “Salud y Hogar” (“Home and Health”) only two months before. I am sure the health book, rightly handled, will make friends, instead of hurting the work.

An Experience in Mexico
By J. A. P. Green
WHILE canvassing in one of the large department stores here, the proprietor said, “Well, I do not know; however, I will sign, with this understanding: If I like the book when it comes, then I will take one.” “All right,” I said; “just put your name down for the best binding. Later I will bring you your book.” He did so, and it resulted in selling $68 worth in that one store. Yesterday was delivery day, and I went into the office, quickly tore off the wrapper from the book, and handed it to the proprietor. I also showed him the prospectus. In it I had one of the large red labels that they used for their packages. It stood out very prominent. I said to him: “You see, my friend, how we are advertising your store. Five of us are canvassing, and each one has one of your labels in his book. After leaving here, we expect to go from city to city, and the people will see your name.” He smiled, and paid me ten pesos.

News and Miscellany
— The taking of a new census costs the United States about $14,000,000.
— The French minister of war has decided that the National Aerial League shall be authorized to obtain, from the officers of the Army Geographical Service, all needed information to assist in perfecting plans to cross the Sahara by aeroplane.
— During the past 12 months, 27 aviators have lost their lives in flight.
— Schoolboys from the public high schools of Washington held a shooting-match on the government range in Virginia, November 12. Several cups and medals were given to the winners. An additional medal was presented by the local chamber of commerce to the “young defender” making the best record. Thus in all the large cities of the country the youth are being trained for warfare.
— The discovery of a wonderful new diamond mine is reported from the Pretoria district, South Africa.
— Word comes from German East Africa of the discovery of a mammoth cave having a length of 329 meters, and an entrance 43 meters wide by 21 meters high. Though discovered in August, 1909, it was first explored in February, 1910. The cave is in a dense forest, and has long been used as a hiding-place by the natives in time of war.
— The new White Star Line steamship “Olympic,” launched recently, cost $5,750,000, and is the largest vessel ever built, being 882 feet long and 92 feet broad, and having a gross tonnage of half as much again as that of either the “Mauretania” or the “Lusitania.” The “Olympic” will carry 5,600 persons, including the crew. The “Titanic,” a sister ship, is building, and will be launched early next year.
— An economical little German town has installed on one of its streets a system by which the man who wishes to have his way home lighted late at night shall pay the costs himself. “The street is a little over half a mile long, and is provided with nine lamps. At each end of the street is a penny-in-the-slot machine, and whenever any one wishes to light up the street, he has merely to drop in a ten-pfenning piece, which turns on the current for twelve minutes. This allows him ample time to walk the length of the street. The street is normally lighted until ten o’clock. Thereafter the prepayment meter must be resorted to.”
— A comparison of the heavy loss of life and many injuries on the railroads of the United States with conditions that prevail in Great Britain, is interesting to say the least. During the first quarter of 1910, there were 1,100 persons killed in railway accidents in this country, and 21,322 were injured; while, according to the report of the British Board of Trade on railway accidents in the United Kingdom during the year 1909, only one passenger was killed in the train on which he was traveling, and this was the first fatality for twenty months. During the entire year, 360 persons were injured. As 1,264,000,000 passengers were carried, the companies are justified in thinking this record a cause for congratulation.
— The process by which a bell receives its joyful or solemn tones is thus described by the Scientific American: “All bells, after they are cast and finished, must go through a process of tuning, the same as any other musical instrument, before they respond with a clear, true tone. Every bell sounds five notes, which must blend together in order to produce perfect harmony. The tuning of a bell is done by means of shaving thin bits from various parts of the metal. It is as easy for an expert bell-tuner to put a bell in tune as it is for a piano-tuner to adjust his instrument to perfect chords. At first thought it would seem that a bell would be ruined should the tuner shave off too much at the last tuning, or the fifth sound, but such is not the case. He would, however, be obliged to begin over, starting again with the first tone, and shaving the bell till it gave forth its harmonious sound at the fifth tone.”
Sanitarium Relief Campaign
By L. A. Hansen
A Suggestion for the Holidays
IT is not too early to plan some things that we can consistently do in connection with the holiday season, which will soon be here. It is an occasion that we should not fail to take advantage of, as we can do to very good purpose.
A practical suggestion is that we should make use of the Christmas spirit of giving, and see that as many copies as possible of “Ministry of Healing” are used at this time. This is an excellent gift-book. It is a presentable volume in every way. To many it will appeal as being acceptable for a present to some friend.
Some conferences are planning for a special effort in placing many books within the next month or so, taking up this work as the Harvest Ingathering closes. The plan is to appoint a certain Sabbath on which the sanitarium relief campaign will be presented in the churches by the various conference laborers. Following this, the workers and people will unite in a general rally, to sell as many books as possible. Where books can not be sold outright, it may be that orders can be taken for deliveries for Christmas. While people are at this time willing to spend money in the giving of presents, would it not be well for us to place before them such a book as “Ministry of Healing”?
Some of our own people may be planning to make gifts to relatives or friends not in the truth. Perhaps no better book than this can be found for this purpose. Even where there may be considerable prejudice, this book will be found acceptable. It is a good book with which to overcome prejudice.
We have the report of an instance in which a Catholic business man purchased fifty copies for his employees, paying seventy-five dollars cash for them. Perhaps all that is necessary to some other employers is a suggestion that here is something which they can use in this way,—a book which will prove both helpful and edifying. We know of its inestimable value, and should give others the opportunity to know it. We have but to contrast it with the popular novel, selling at the same price, to show its superiority over many books that will be bought and given away. Ought we not to do what we can to have this good book used instead?
L. A. HANSEN.

She was a member of the Busy Bee band, and circulated a great many tracts, periodicals, etc. She was a very affectionate child, and her one ambition was to become a worker for the Master. C. G. Bellah.
Jones.—Died Nov. 6, 1910, at Jacksonville, Fla., Brother Wiley Jones. He heard the message thirty years ago, but finally decided to obey the Lord two years ago. He was a member of the second church of Jacksonville. Brother Jones was an old and respected citizen of Jacksonville, and a host of friends attended the funeral services. Comforting words were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. Our brother sleeps to await the call of the Life-giver. A widow and one son are left to mourn. M. C. Strachan.
Thompson.—Mamie Addison was born at Hammond, La., Aug. 18, 1882, and died Oct. 21, 1910. Though brought up by Sabbath-keeping parents, she did not begin to keep the Sabbath until about two years ago. While at the Nashville Sanitarium last summer, she was baptized by Elder W. H. Saxby. Her last few days were spent in making earnest appeals to her relatives to be ready to meet her when Jesus comes. July 15, 1903, she was married to Henry W. Thompson, who, with their little daughter, and a number of brothers, sisters, and other relatives, is left to mourn. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, who based his remarks on Job 14:14. E. L. Maxwell.

She was born in the State of Louisiana, Nov. 13, 1843. Had she lived ten days more, she would have been sixty-eight years old. With her husband she accepted present truth about thirty years ago. She lived a consistent Christian life, and died in full hope of a part in the first resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Num. 23:10. We laid her away to rest, leaving her husband and only daughter, with other relatives and friends, to mourn their loss, but not as those who have no hope. W. W. Eastman.
Henton.—W. T. Henton was born in Pennsylvania in 1830, and died at Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 28, 1910, at the age of almost fourscore years. He was married May 20, 1851, to Mary Southard. To them were born twelve children, seven of whom are living. Brother Henton accepted the message about fifty years ago, when there were not so many Seventh-day Adventists in all the world as we now have laborers in the field. He was always ready to help the cause of God according to his ability. Last spring death claimed his life companion; this was a hard blow, and his decline from that time was rapid. His love for the Saviour was strong and tender, and his hope was bright to the end. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder J. J. Clark. W. W. Sharp.
Lawry.—Joe Lawry, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Lawry, was born April 2, 1891, in Newton, Kan., and died Oct. 20, 1910, aged 19 years, 6 months, and 18 days. He was baptized at the Hutchinson camp-meeting in 1895, and tried to live a Christian life and help his companions to do right. He attended Union College for two years, and won the love and respect of both teachers and students. While there, he became ill, and his mother took him to Boulder. For a time the change seemed to benefit him, but this summer all hopes were crushed, and on September 9 we brought him home. The sorrowing father and mother, with one brother, and a large circle of friends, are left to mourn; Prof. F. Griggs, of Union College, preached the funeral sermon, from the words, “God is love.” Mrs. M. L. Lawry.
Lewis.—J. H. Lewis was born in Lexington, Ky., April 22, 1834, and died Oct. 21, 1910, aged 76 years, 5 months, and 29 days. Brother Lewis was married in 1860 to Miss Emily H. Dryden, at Frankfort, Ky. Had he lived until November 1, they would have been married fifty years. He accepted the third angel’s message in Michigan, under the labors of Elder Lawrence, about fifty years ago. He died triumphant in the faith, and we confidently expect to meet him when the Lord makes up his jewels. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer to a large circle of friends. Text, Rev. 22:3, 4. W. W. Steward.
Christensen.—Mrs. Gustine Christensen was born in Urholmen, Norway, Jan. 8, 1876, and died near Denver, Colo., Sept. 25, 1910, aged 34 years, 8 months, and 17 days. She and her husband accepted the faith of the Seventh-day Adventists in April, 1907, and united with the first church in Denver in 1908. She had formerly been a captain in the Salvation Army; but when the whole message of truth came to her, she accepted it with gladness, and continued to praise God for it until just a few moments before her death. She sleeps in Jesus. The funeral services were conducted by the writer at the home, assisted by Elder Carl Svenson. Many neighbors and friends were present. She leaves a husband and many relatives. G. W. Angelbarger.
Lainson.—Died in Wichita, Kan., Oct. 18, 1910, Sister Anna May Lainson, aged 50 years, 9 months, and 25 days. Sister Lainson’s maiden name was Craft. She gave her heart to the Lord when quite young. At the age of nineteen she was married to W. H. Lainson. One son and three daughters were born to them. Twenty-two years ago she joined the Seventh-day Adventist church at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and was a firm advocate of the truths we hold so dear. She was faithful, earnest, and trustful in her Christian experience. Five years ago the family moved to Liberal, Kan., where she was taken ill. The funeral, which was held in our church at Council Bluffs, was largely attended, and many beautiful floral tributes expressed the tender love of sorrowing friends. The service was conducted by Elder W. A. McKibben. Baile P. Shilling.
Sawyer.—Robert Sawyer was born in Port Byron, Cayuga Co., N. Y. In 1855 he was married to Mary A. Mapes, of Wadsport, N. Y., with whom he lived four years, when she died. Brother Sawyer lived one mile from Auburn, N. Y., when the first paper published by Seventh-day Adventists was carried to that post-office in a small hand satchel. He became interested in the third angel’s message through the reading of a small tract placed in his hands about that time, and soon accepted the truth. Not long after this he moved to Battle Creek, Mich., where he became connected with the Review and Herald Publishing Office. In 1863 he was married to Mrs. Mary J. Mead. Later they removed to Potterville, Mich., where they started a Sabbath-school, which resulted in the organization of a small church. Upon their return to Battle Creek, they were employed by the sanitarium, he as nurse and she as matron. His wife’s failing health made it necessary for them to seek a warmer climate; so they came to Oakland, Cal. For a number of years he was employed by the Pacific Press, and at the same time conducted a boarding-house for the benefit of the employees. The last three years of his life were spent in Pomona, Cal., where, Sept. 12, 1910, he peacefully fell asleep, at the ripe age of eighty years and two months. During all the years of his connection with Seventh-day Adventists, he was faithful and true to his convictions, a loved and honored member of the church, and highly respected by all his acquaintances. For several years, in addition to his other duties, he gave a home to nine orphan children. He is survived by his sister, Mrs. H. E. S. Hopkins, who has lived in his home since he came to Pomona. E. E. Andross.
Green.—Mathew Green was born in North Carolina, Feb. 25, 1834, and died at the Paradise Valley Sanitarium, near San Diego, Cal., Sept. 20, 1910. He leaves three sons and three daughters to mourn their loss. Brother Green has been a great sufferer for several months, but bore it all patiently, and fell asleep in hope. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, in the Seventh-day Adventist church building in San Diego, after which our brother was laid to rest in the Mount Hope Cemetery. C. E. Ford.
Stevens.—Died in Marysville, Cal., while visiting at the home of his daughter, Oct. 22, 1910, Van Buren R. Stevens, aged 73 years, 7 months, and 26 days. The place of his birth and early life was Ohio. He enlisted in the Civil War in Company C, 15th Ohio Volunteers. In that war he rendered faithful service over two years, but on account of physical disability was honorably discharged. His sickness came in consequence of exposure and hardship in the army, resulting at last in his death. He was married Sept. 10, 1863, to Miss Sara E. Davis, who survives him after forty-seven years of happy wedded life. One daughter was born to them, now Mrs. Mabel Ingels. Brother Stevens was converted at thirty years of age, and joined the Christian Connection. In 1879, in California, he accepted the views of Seventh-day Adventists in the full strength of his manhood, and was until declining years a heavy burden-bearer, and ever a faithful and consistent member. Six years ago he moved to Mountain View, Cal., where he expected to spend his declining years; but on a visit to his daughter was attacked with the old disease contracted in the army. The funeral services were held in Mountain View. M. C. Wilcox.
Lloyd.—Mrs. Sarah A. Lloyd was born Dec. 5, 1848, in Lenton, Nottingham, England. At sixteen she was converted, and became an active church worker. In 1880, after the death of her mother, she came to America, and was engaged as a preceptress in the Hill School at Pottstown, Pa. Later she felt called to enter city mission work; and about the year 1886, she connected with the Grace Episcopal church of New York City, and there helped to found the Grace Church Settlement work, which has grown into one of the largest organizations of its kind in America. After about eight years of loving service in this work among the poor of the East Side, she was sent to India by the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions, and there labored for some five years in the Northwest Province. As a missionary to India, she had been granted the great desire of her life. Upon her return to this country, in 1899, she learned, for the first time, that there was a people known to Seventh-day Adventists, who kept the Sabbath of the Bible. This information was welcomed by Mrs. Lloyd; for about this time the Lord had, through her daily reading of the Word, revealed the Sabbath truth to her. Walking across a street in one of the New Jersey cities at this time, she picked up a copy of a tract on the Sabbath question. Through correspondence with our publishers in Battle Creek, she came to know of the sanitarium, and shortly afterward spent some time at that institution. It was during her sojourn there that she met Elder E. J. Hibbard, and through his teaching accepted all the truths of this message. A short time after this she was married to Brother Ernest Lloyd, and together they have labored for the advancement of this cause. For some time Brother Lloyd has been acting as field missionary secretary for this conference, and has received the hearty support and assistance of his companion in his work. She peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, October 24, awaiting the return of the Life-giver, when she will receive the crown of life, that is prepared for those that love his appearing. The funeral services were conducted by Elder Hibbard and the writer from her home, and were attended by a large circle of sympathizing friends. E. E. Andross.

Officials at a Catholic Peace Mass
By Editor
THANKSGIVING day a peace mass was celebrated in St. Patrick’s Church, Washington, following the inauguration of this service on the same occasion last year. President Taft, with several members of his cabinet, and a number of the diplomatic corps, representing sixteen different nations, were in attendance. Secretary of State Knox was one of the speakers at the luncheon following. We have no disposition to criticize the church attendance of any individual. It is the right of every man, from the chief magistrate to the humblest citizen, to attend the church of his own choice, or not to attend church at all, as he may individually elect. However, it is a question for serious thought as to what extent a government official, as such, should give attendance at a church service of such a distinctive character as this one. If the president and the cabinet officers, in their official capacities, attend the celebration of mass in a Catholic church, even though done ostensibly in the interests of international peace, there is given to the occasion a character which simulates closely the spirit of the old church-and-state régime. And in this particular instance, as well as on all similar occasions, the Roman Church is not slow to take advantage of such patronage, and turn it to her own account. Aside from their official character, she cares not one whit whether President Taft, Secretary Knox, and other officials attend mass, more than other men. She seeks their attendance not as men merely, but as government representatives, and in this relationship recognizes them. By this means she seeks to regain her lost prestige as chief counselor in affairs of state. Let us beware of her adroit maneuverings.
Reports from the Household of Faith
TALKING with brethren coming in to the council from West and East and North and South, it is good to hear from all the reports as to the courage and hope and devotion among the believers. The “household of faith” is a good one to belong to.
Cedar Lake Academy Destroyed by Fire
From Brother E. L. Richmond, of the West Michigan Conference, comes this sad word: “The Cedar Lake Academy was burned to the ground, with all its contents, about seven o’clock this morning, November 21. The fire evidently originated from the furnace fire. The students worked heroically, but their efforts were without avail.” All will sympathize with these brethren in this disaster.
