Obituaries

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus

VANDEVEL.— Died at Bark River, Mich., Aug. 17, 1902, of consumption, Sister Ercil Vandevel, aged 19 years, 2 months, and 5 days. She died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. Her father, one sister, and three brothers mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Num. 23:10. M. W. LEWIS.

PROVONSHA.— Died at Regina, Wis., Aug. 18, 1902, Peter Provonsha, of cancer, aged 67 years, 23 days. The deceased was born in Canada, and came to this country when sixteen years old. He accepted the gospel as taught by Seventh-day Adventists twenty-three years ago. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, to a large concourse of friends. SWIN SWINSON.

COOK.— Died at the St. Helena Sanitarium, Aug. 6, 1902, of heart disease, Algie B. Cook, aged 31 years. For a number of years Brother Cook had done faithful service in the sanitarium, for some time having been foreman of the men’s bath room. At the time of his death, he lacked only one year of completing a medical course in San Francisco. Dear ones mourn their loss, but not without hope. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. H. A. ST. JOHN.

ANDREWS.— Died at Coalgate, I. T., Aug. 17, 1902, John Andrews in the fifty-fifth year of his age. He accepted the Seventh-day Adventist faith about twenty years ago, under the labors of Elder Kilgore. He fell asleep in full assurance of faith. His mother, one brother, and three sisters, also seven children and several grandchildren mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, who spoke words of warning to the unconverted, from Amos 4:12, and words of comfort to the mourning relatives, from 1 Thess. 4:13–18. ALBERT J. WATERS.

ABBOTT.— David Sears Abbott was born May 1, 1820; died at Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 4, 1902, of apoplexy. He and his wife accepted the third angel’s message in February, 1883. His last testimony was, “The Lord cannot come too soon; I am ready.” Interment took place at the Rosedale Cemetery, by the side of his beloved wife. He leaves a son and two daughters to mourn their loss. LIZZIE ALLEN.

DREW.— Died at South Pulteney, N. Y., Aug. 24, 1902, Brother Lathrop Drew, aged 74 years, 4 months, and 20 days. Death resulted from apoplexy, after an illness of twenty-four hours. In his early youth he gave himself to Christ, and began the observance of the Sabbath, and at the time of death was a beloved member of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Pulteney, and a highly respected citizen of the community in which he had always lived. A wife and four children mourn their loss. The blessed hope was presented by the writer at the funeral. LULU WEIGHTMAN.

NOTICES AND APPOINTMENTS

By S. M. Cobb

Notice!

THE fifteenth annual session of the West Virginia Conference will be held, in connection with the camp meeting, in the city of Parkersburg, W. Va., September 11–21.

S. M. COBB, President.

Notice to Those Planning to Visit the Sanitarium

Notice!

THE undersigned wish to state to the public that it is absolutely necessary that those who are planning to come to the Sanitarium or the Medical Missionary College should write in advance of coming, and make necessary arrangements. It is not sufficient simply to write, giving notice of coming, but arrangements should actually be made with those in charge of the work. It has for several years been customary for those who had friends at the Sanitarium to write and notify their friends of their coming. Such a notice is not adequate, and the management of the institution desire to say that, after this date, they cannot receive any with the exception of those with whom they have previously corresponded. SANITARIUM.

Duncombe Hall College: A Training School for Christian Workers

We are indebted to Principal H. R. Salisbury for a copy of the prospectus of “Duncombe Hall College, a Training School for Christian Workers,” located in London, England. Inspiration and encouragement are found in the motto on the title page, “Let us go on unto perfection.” The distinctive basis of the school is thus stated: “A Bible School is not one in which the Bible is taught together with many other things, but one in which the Bible is the foundation of all the other studies.” The first year of the school was a successful one, and the outlook is favorable.

Special Scandinavian Issues: Church Orders and Appeal

By Editor

ONE of our elders laid the subject of our special issues of the Swedish and Danish papers before a church in Colorado, and the result was that 350 copies of the Swedish issue were ordered. Another church in Colorado takes 2,000 copies of the same issue.

How many of our elders have laid this matter before their respective churches as presented in the circular letter sent out a few weeks ago? Some may, perchance, have forgotten it. If so, it is not yet too late. We trust that our elders and ministers in every place where there are Scandinavians will give this matter due consideration, and not let this splendid opportunity pass without some special effort to get these papers before those who can read them. These issues can readily be sold for five cents a copy, and so the money paid out for clubs of these issues can be more than recovered. Please give this matter early and earnest consideration.

Emmanuel Missionary College Second Annual Calendar

The second annual calendar of Emmanuel Missionary College contains a brief history of this institution, the successor of Battle Creek College, with a statement of its distinctive aims and plans. The following departments of work are offered: ministerial, missionary teachers, preparatory medical missionary, Christian business, music, and manual training. This calendar is the first one, so far as we have noticed, in which the names of the members of the faculty appear without any degrees appended, or any specific department of work assigned. This would seem to indicate a purpose to depart from the traditional idea that each instructor has a distinct portion of the field of knowledge fenced off and allotted to him, outside of which he is not expected to lead the students, and within which no one else is supposed to venture. We like this plan. Of course each instructor will emphasize such views of truth as have entered most fully into his experience, but the true teacher should have an open field in which to deal with truth under the guidance of the Spirit of truth. When this is done, each teacher ought to find that all truth is of God and that the best expression of the principles of all truth is found in the Bible. In this way the Bible naturally becomes the foundation of all study, and every teacher is a teacher of Bible truth. The plan of taking one subject at a time is continued. The fall term opens Wednesday, October 15. Copies of the calendar and further information may be obtained by addressing the president, E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich.

Camp Meetings and Conference Visits Across the Field

SEVERAL of the large camp meetings have either just closed or are now in progress. Brethren W. A. Spicer and J. A. Brunson have been at the Illinois meeting. Brother A. G. Daniells was at the Illinois meeting over one Sabbath and Sunday, and was at the Iowa meeting last week. He is now at the Nebraska meeting. Brother W. W. Prescott has been in attendance at the Nebraska meeting since its opening. Dr. J. H. Kellogg has made brief visits at both the Iowa and Nebraska meetings. Brother W. A. Spicer is now attending the first session of the Canadian Union Conference at Waterloo, Quebec, and when he left Battle Creek, he was expecting to go from Waterloo to the West Virginia camp meeting.

Changes in Size, Price, and Editorship of Southern Papers

By Editor

CHANGES have been announced in the size, price, and editorship of our papers published at Nashville, Tenn. The Southern Watchman has been increased in size from four to eight pages, and the price is now fifty cents a year; The Gospel Herald will consist of sixteen pages instead of eight, after October 1, and the price will then be one dollar a year. Brother George I. Butler has been associated with Brother C. P. Bollman in the editorial management of both papers.

Union Conference Record Changes Format and Editor Appointed

WITHIN a short time The Union Conference Record, which is published by the Australasian Union Conference, has been changed from a sixteen-page monthly to an eight-page semimonthly. We notice also that Brother E. W. Farnsworth has been appointed editor of The Bible Echo, in the place of Brother Robert Hare. Since the missionary paper, Joyful Tidings, has been discontinued, and the whole effort concentrated on the one paper, there will doubtless be a considerable increase in the circulation of The Bible Echo.

Things Foretold: A Book on Daniel for Children

UNDER the title of “Things Foretold” the Pacific Press Publishing Co. has brought out a book for “the children (both young and old) who love to read things that are true.” The book, which is written by Brother W. N. Glenn, contains twenty-one short chapters dealing with the subject matter of the first seven chapters of the book of Daniel. The style is simple and direct, and the important lessons both of the history and of the prophecies are clearly stated. Twenty-eight illustrations, large and small, and a colored border of unique design on each page, make this little volume of 118 pages attractive in appearance. It will doubtless find a welcome in many homes, and lead both old and young to a more careful study of the book of Daniel.

Travels on Four Continents, or Around the World for Jesus

Under the title of “Travels on Four Continents, or Around the World for Jesus,” Mrs. Mattie Hamilton Welch has issued an illustrated volume of four hundred and fifty large pages, in which are recounted the personal experiences of herself and family while making an evangelistic tour of the world. Much interesting information is also given concerning the various countries visited and the progress of missionary effort in them. A considerable portion of the book is devoted to the countries of India, China, and Japan, with interesting descriptions of the countries, the peoples and their habits and customs, and the different organized missions for the proclamation of the gospel to those in darkness. The volume is attractive in appearance, and will doubtless find many interested readers.

Cedar Lake Industrial Academy Fourth Annual Announcement

The fourth annual announcement of the Cedar Lake (Mich.) Industrial Academy is attractive in appearance, being well illustrated, and gives the necessary information to those who wish to know of the general plan of work and the specific conditions and arrangements. The following apt quotation is made, to express the aim of the institution: “Students shall go forth with educated efficiency, so that when thrown upon their own responsibility, they will have knowledge that they can use, which is essential to practical life.” The courses of study are something of a departure from the stereotyped plan, in that the general field of work is laid out, but there is no rigid limitation of the subjects to specific times of the year, and to a certain number of weeks. It is evidently the purpose of the management to deal as far as possible with the individual student. We commend this plan as an excellent one. The parents and young people in Michigan especially ought to secure a copy of this announcement. Address the principal, J. G. Lamson, Cedar Lake, Mich.
