Cole.—Born March 18, 1821; died Jan. 24, 1902, of pneumonia, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Woods, in Fort Worth, Tex., Sister Elvira Cole. She had lived a devoted Christian life for nearly forty years, having heard the truth in Dallas, Tex., about twenty-five years ago. O. Glass, Elder Morgan (Methodist). Loughhead.—Died suddenly Jan. 15, 1902, of heart failure, at Alba, Pa., Brother Jefferson Loughhead, aged 69 years. He was an old and esteemed resident of Alba, and will be missed in the community, as well as in the little church of which he was elder. He accepted the truth when a young man. The writer spoke on the funeral occasion; texts, Rev. 14:13; 2 Tim. 4:7, 8. I. L. Baker. Shear.—Died at his home, at Homer, Mich., Jan. 6, 1902, of tumor on the brain, Brother Syrenus Shear, aged 46 years. In his last sickness he gave his heart wholly to the Saviour, and had clear evidence of his acceptance with God. He leaves a wife, one daughter, an aged mother, and several brothers and sisters. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Isa. 26:19-21. J. C. Harris. Osborn.—Sister Alida Osborn, after a sickness of six weeks, died at her home in Willamina, Ore., Dec. 14, 1901, from a complication of diseases, aged nearly fifty-seven years. Sister Osborn lived a consistent Christian life, having been a member of this church for about six years. She was a kind and affectionate wife and mother, and leaves a husband and eight children, who deeply realize their great loss. F. M. Burg. Davis.—Mrs. Maranda Harris-Davis was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, June 4, 1825; died of Bright’s disease at Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 23, 1902, aged 77 years, 6 months, 19 days. Grandma Davis united with the Methodist Church when fourteen years old, and lived a consistent Christian life till her death. About fifteen years ago she accepted the present truth. She died with a bright hope of a glorious resurrection. Her last words were, “Praise God for His loving-kindness; it is better than life to me.” Similar words are recorded by David in Ps. 63:3, which were used as a text for the funeral discourse. She leaves an aged husband, three children, and many friends. C. A. Watkins. Halbert.—Curtis Gordon Halbert was born in New York, May 14, 1872. He spent several years in Michigan, after which he moved to Florida, where he married Miss Nellie Hayden. About three years ago he suffered from a severe attack of typhoid fever, and laid the foundation for tubercular trouble, which appeared soon after, in the end causing his death. He came to Boulder, Colo., in August, 1901. For a time he seemed to be benefited by the climate, but soon began to decline, dying Jan. 19, 1902. Brother Halbert had a bright experience in the Lord, especially during the last few months of his life, uniting with the Boulder Seventh-day Adventist church before he died. He fell asleep with a firm trust in the Lord. F. M. Wilcox. Death of Elder H. M. Kenyon
Fell asleep in Jesus, at his home in Memphis, Mich., Jan. 10, 1902, Elder H. M. Kenyon, aged 68 years, 3 months, and 5 days. His last sickness, supposed to be pneumonia, was of short duration. He preached his last sermon in the church at Memphis, Sabbath, January 4, speaking with great freedom and power. The funeral services were conducted by the writer at Memphis, Monday, January 13, at 2:30 P. M. The remains were immediately removed to Monterey, Mich., where another service was conducted Tuesday, January 14, at 2 P. M., after which he was laid away to rest beside his first wife, in Popple Hill Cemetery. He leaves a wife, two sisters, and two brothers to mourn their loss. Elder Kenyon was converted under the labors of Elder M. E. Cornell at Monterey, Mich., in 1856. From the time he accepted the Third Angel’s Message till his work was done, he was loyal and true in the work of the Lord. He was superintendent of the Monterey Sabbath-school for fifteen years. Elder Joseph Bates persuaded him to enter the ministry, and in 1868 he received a license from the Michigan Conference to labor in the gospel field; in 1872 he was ordained to his holy calling. His labors were mostly confined to the State of Michigan, though he labored some in Indiana and Ontario. He was in charge of the work in Detroit for six years, and he and his faithful wife, who still survives him, together with the Bible workers, built up the work there to its present proportions. He was greatly beloved by all the ministerial brethren of this Conference, and highly esteemed as a minister. It was my privilege to labor with him in tent work three seasons; and I deeply mourn his loss. But with his dear friends and brethren we can truly say, We sorrow not as those who have no hope. He sleeps in Jesus. R. C. Horton. (Signs of the Times, please copy.) Burning of the Sanitarium Buildings.
In order that the readers of the REVIEW may have the exact facts with reference to the destruction of the Sanitarium buildings, and not be left to depend upon newspaper reports or unreliable rumors, we have prepared the following statement for this paper. The precise origin of the fire is not known. A few minutes before four o'clock on Tuesday morning, February 18, the night watchman, while on his round of inspection in the main building, found that some of the electric call bells would not ring, owing to a “short circuit,” which had in some way been set up between the electric wires in the basement of the building. While attending to this, the odor of smoke was detected, coming from beneath the men's bath room. Summoning assistance from the night clerk's office, a hurried investigation was made, and a fire was found to have started in the basement at a point underneath the massage room. This was in a large wing of the main building, extending eastward. A dense smoke was rising, and the alarm was immediately given from two alarm boxes in the main building, and from the nearest city box, and help summoned from a fire station located close by. But the fire was in a place not easy to get at with the hose, and spread rapidly, running upward through some ventilating shafts, and breaking out in a few moments' time at the top of the building. By this time doctors, nurses, and other employees and medical students in the building had been aroused, and the energies of all were turned to the task of removing the patients to a place of safety. The nurses had been instructed and drilled in preparation for such an emergency, and the result was shown in the remarkable work that followed. The building was filled with patients, of whom fifty or more were in a helpless condition, unable to rise from their beds. These and the women and children were taken care of first. Not a room upon any floor was left unentered. Not one patient was forgotten. All were gotten out of their rooms, and carried or led to a position of safety, many climbing down the fire escapes, with which the building was well provided. All escaped from the building with the single exception of one aged man, a mental patient, who, after he had left his room in company with his wife, either became separated from the rest by accident, or turned back again for some cause after he had reached a place of comparative safety. To make sure that no one was left, the search was maintained by doctors and nurses after the smoke had become so dense that only by wrapping wet cloths about their heads and feeling their way, were they able to pass through the halls. Predictions had been made, based on what has occurred in other places, that the burning of the Sanitarium building, if it should occur, would be attended with great loss of life; and the time at which the disaster happened was one which favored the verification of such a fear. But the prompt action taken by the employees, one and all, and the entire absence of panic brought about a result as gratifying as it was remarkable. In all this we recognize with the deepest gratitude the merciful care and overruling providence of Him in whose name this institution was established, and to the furtherance of whose cause it is devoted. To Him be the glory and the praise for this great deliverance. But little could be done by the city fire department to stay the progress of the flames, owing to the lack of facilities adequate to cope with a fire of such magnitude. Situated, as the building was, upon almost the highest ground in the city, where the pressure of the city water was much reduced, and with only one fire engine at hand until help could be summoned from neighboring towns, great difficulty was experienced in getting water directly on the fire in the high buildings. The hospital building was separated from the main building by the width of the street, but took fire from the intense heat when the fire in the main building was at its height. The loss of this building was owing principally to the lack of sufficient water pressure to throw a stream to its top story, where the flames began. Other buildings in close proximity to the main building took fire and were consumed, among these being the old wooden building in which the Sanitarium was first started, when it was known as the “Health Reform Institute;” also the Salisbury cottage, at the corner of Lincoln and Barbour Streets. The dormitory escaped, and to this, and the college buildings, of which the Sanitarium recently acquired possession, a large number of the patients were immediately transferred, others finding refuge in hotels. The Sanitarium institution was, of course, not burned. Patients received treatment the very day of the fire, and the work of the institution has been going steadily forward since. A large number of patients showed their loyalty to the institution by going with it to its new quarters. The loss on the buildings burned was about $300,000. This loss is a little more than half covered by insurance. The citizens of Battle Creek were not slow in testifying their appreciation of the value of the institution to the city and the loss sustained by the community. By proclamation of the mayor, a mass meeting of citizens was called to meet in the Tabernacle, Wednesday evening, to express their sympathy with those directly concerned in the misfortune, and tender their moral support to whatever measures may be taken for the re-establishment of the institution upon a prosperous footing. At the hour appointed the Tabernacle was filled to its fullest capacity. Prominent business men of the city, together with the pastors of the principal churches, occupied the rostrum, and nearly all of them addressed the meeting, speaking in the warmest terms of the institution, its management and employees, and the principles for which it stands, and more than once giving the assurance that whatever financial assistance is needed to rebuild, can be had for the asking. The sentiment of the meeting was embodied in the following resolution, which was presented:— “Whereas, The Michigan Sanitarium and Benevolent Association have sustained a deplorable loss in the destruction of their magnificent Sanitarium and hospital buildings by fire, we, the citizens of Battle Creek, in mass meeting assembled, desiring to express our heartfelt sympathy with its capable board of managers, and with Dr. J. H. Kellogg, the exceedingly skillful surgeon and physician-in-chief, under whose untiring care during the past thirty-five years it has attained a world-wide reputation of the very highest character, and a degree of prosperity exceeded by none, do hereby— Resolve, That during its entire existence its influence has been for the most substantial material interests of our city, that its beneficial influences as affecting the moral, intellectual, and physical culture of our people, both young and old, have been of inestimable value; and we hereby express the ardent hope that the ruins will soon be supplanted by buildings equal, if not superior, to those consumed by the fire, and pledge the sympathy and moral support of this meeting in any measures leading to the accomplishment of that most desirable end.” Dr. Kellogg was present, and addressed the meeting, stating that from lack of funds when the Sanitarium building was first put up, and the desire to accommodate as many patients as possible, wood had been used in the old building instead of fire-proof material; but he felt that he could not ask people to come to another building that was not fire-proof, or so nearly so as to be entirely safe; and that to erect a building of this nature, $100,000 would be required above the amount of the insurance. A resolution has been passed by the board of managers stating that if God will provide the funds, a new building of this character will be erected. From all parts of the country, hundreds of telegrams have come in from business men and others, expressing sympathy, and offering financial aid. Through the gloom of misfortune there shines the prospect for a better equipment and a greater prosperity for the Battle Creek Sanitarium than it has ever known in the past. The Northwestern Union Conference.
By C. W. Flaiz
The first biennial meeting of the Northwestern Union Conference will convene in Des Moines, Iowa, April 1-10, 1902. Each local Conference will be entitled to one delegate without regard to numbers, and to one additional delegate for each three hundred of the Conference membership. This will be a very important meeting, and will have a bearing upon the future interests of the cause. We therefore desire that the Conferences shall be as fully represented as possible. The Southwestern Union Conference.
By C. McReynolds
THE first annual session of the Southwestern Union Conference will convene April 16, 1902, and continue till the night of the 26th. Each Conference in the Union is entitled to send its president as a delegate, and one additional delegate for every two hundred and fifty members; one delegate also from Boulder Sanitarium, one from Keene Academy, and one from the Keene Sanitarium. Services will begin the night of the 15th. The first meeting of the Conference will open at 10:30 A. M. the 16th. Reduced rates will be given on all railroads in our territory. Rate will be announced soon. Ample preparations will be made for all. We expect from five to seven hundred to attend. Let all come who can. Place will be announced soon. C. McREYNOLDS, Pres. Montana, Notice!
By W. B. White
The next session of the Montana Conference will be held in Butte, Mont., beginning Sunday evening, March 16, and will continue one week. At this time, officers will be elected for the ensuing year, and all other necessary business transacted. We trust that each church in the Montana Conference will send delegates to this meeting. Each church is entitled to one delegate, and to one additional delegate for each ten members of the church. We are glad to announce that Elders W. T. Knox and A. T. Jones will be with us at this time, and we hope to see a general rally from all parts of the State. W. B. WHITE. Farmers’ Institute.
By E. A. Sutherland
God has truth for His people on the cultivation of the soil. The gospel will yet be preached by many consecrated farmers. The world is reaching after the truths which God has committed to His people, and the present is undoubtedly an opportune time to make these truths known. A Christian Farmers’ Institute was called to meet at Berrien Springs, March 7-9. It seems unfortunate that this must again be postponed. The call for such a meeting has met with a most gratifying response. The meeting is indefinitely postponed because of the present campaign for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” The idea is not abandoned; indeed, the demand for instruction is so great that we expect in the near future to gather together material bearing directly on this question, and put in form for our people. Those who are interested are requested to open correspondence, that reading-matter may be sent to them. E. A. Sutherland. District 8, Michigan.
By W. R. Matthews
THERE will be a general meeting for Ithaca and adjoining churches, February 28 to March 2. The first meeting will be held Friday evening. There will be good help at the meeting. Let all the brethren in this vicinity make a special effort to attend. Those coming in from other churches should bring some bedding, so that all may be made comfortable. Let all come praying for success. In 1896 Elder Alonzo T. Jones published “The Empires of the Bible,” the first volume of the Empire series. The second volume, “The Great Empires of Prophecy,” was published in 1898, and the third volume, “Ecclesiastical Empire,” was issued last year. These are three very important books, and should be not only read, but carefully studied by every member of every church. “The Empires of the Bible” traces the history from the origin of nations to the captivity of Judah, and carefully reveals the causes of the rise and the fall of these early peoples. The Biblical records, together with secular history and modern research, establish the manner of the development of the great empires of Egypt and Assyria, and the founding of the races from which the great nations of later times developed. The reader is greatly assisted in the study of this work by the twenty-one colored maps made especially for this book. There are 410 large pages. Size of book, 6 x 9½ x 1¼ inches. Bound substantially in cloth. Price, $1.50, postpaid. “The Great Empires of Prophecy” is a history of the great nations of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia, and Rome. Gleanings of the most important and interesting histories are herein compiled, to set forth the real influences that caused the prosperity and the decay of each of these great nations. On account of the great number of noted historians quoted in this work, it might be appropriately termed a cyclopedia of history, and a ready book of reference. It contains 712 pages and 22 full-page colored maps. Nicely bound in cloth. Size, 6½ x 9½ x 1½ inches. Price, $2, postpaid. “Ecclesiastical Empire” contains the account of all the principal events that have affected the civil governments and tended to the establishment of ecclesiastical authority, from the time of the fall of Rome to the publishing of this book, in 1901. It contains a good history of the Reformation; a Compendium of the Principles of True Christianity; the Reason for Our National Apostasy, and a full treatise upon the Union of Church and State. This book contains 874 pages. Substantially bound in cloth. Size, 6¼ x 9 x 2¼ inches. Price, $2.50, postpaid. This series contains 1,996 pages of the most important historical matter, especially prepared and condensed for the use of those who do not have access to the original histories, and who have not the time to search out these facts had they the books. The combined price of these volumes is only $6, postpaid. Order of your State Tract Society. To Appear in the March Sentinel of Christian Liberty.
By Editor
Do you wish to know the Roman Catholic theory with regard to the relation of Church and State? And do you wish to learn this at first hand, from an ardent Catholic who knows what it is, who thoroughly believes in it, and who states it frankly and unequivocally? Then do not fail to get the March Sentinel of Christian Liberty, and as many numbers thereafter as are necessary, and read the series of articles which begin in that number, on “The Catholic Theory of the Relation between Church and State.” These articles will be a reproduction of an essay on this subject by an able Catholic writer, originally published by authority, under the editorial direction of Cardinal Manning. No friend of religious liberty who really desires to serve that cause at this time, should fail to read these articles carefully; for he who does read them thus will realize better than he has before the striking similarity between the theories now developing in the religious world outside the Church of Rome, and that which has been the very genius of the papacy throughout her history. The frontispiece will be very timely and suggestive in view of the present wide-spread agitation of the Sunday question. It will be entitled “The Modern Diana: Its Genesis and Evolution.” Did you know that “our national Christianity” is to be one of the “exhibits” at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis? Read W. N. Glenn’s ringing article on this subject in the March issue of the Sentinel of Christian Liberty. In the case of seventh-day observers, Sunday laws plainly interfere with parents in the proper training of their children, and add greatly to the difficulties with which they must contend in this matter. This point that is seldom thought of in this connection is one of the several good points made in the article in the March Sentinel of Christian Liberty, entitled “Sunday Laws and the Rights of Conscience.” Did you know that there is a marked aggressiveness of the movement throughout the United States and Canada for the compulsory Sunday closing of all places of business, amusement, etc.? The “Sunday Enforcement” department of the Sentinel of Christian Liberty will keep you fully informed in regard to what is being done in this direction. This department in the March number of that magazine will be especially full. A very timely article in the March Sentinel of Christian Liberty will be one applying the principle of trade-mark laws to the present live Sunday question. It deals with a fact that has a most vital bearing on this question. Twelve numbers,—one year’s subscription,—all of which will be equally as good as this one, can be secured for only $1. Every individual should be a subscriber; every church should have a club for missionary work. Address orders to The Sentinel of Christian Liberty, 11 W. Twentieth St., New York City. GUIDE TO CORRECT LANGUAGE.
By G. H. Bell
A TREATISE convenient for the use of all people in all callings and professions, and especially helpful to printers, teachers, students, and those who write for the press. It contains facts that everybody wishes to know about the correct use of the English language, and these facts are so arranged that they can be instantly found. The book is written in three parts. PART I.—Practical Grammar; containing the most essential grammatical laws, illustrated with examples that reveal the correct and the incorrect use of words. PART II.—Punctuation; in an entirely new and simple method, embracing illustrations, rules, and examples, so arranged that one can instantly find what he wants. PART III.—Use of Capitals; though this is one of the most difficult problems in the use of the English language, the rules in this book render it as simple as possible. Substantially bound in cloth. Size, 6 x 9¼ inches. Price, $1, postpaid. Order of your State Tract Society. SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENCE.
The following letter was written by one of the ablest business men in central Illinois, a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church:— “It is with satisfaction and a sense of genuine help that I finish a close reading of ‘Scriptural Foundations of Science,’ by Dr. L. A. Reed. “There are so many books trying to build all things on a purely scientific line,— so many attempting to construct the religious thought and life with little or no scientific sympathy for the universe of nature,— that I have profound gratitude to find a volume which gives such prominence to religion and science as one and inseparable in a perpetual union. “To read such a book is wholesome to every side of one’s better life. There is not a dull page in the book, and I lay the volume aside at its end with a genuine desire for more, believing this is not the last we shall have from Dr. Reed on the Scriptural Foundations of Science. The last issue of the Danish and Swedish libraries contains the matter that was formerly printed in the old English tract entitled “Present Truth.” This old tract has proved to be one of the best ever published by our people in the English language, and is expected to accomplish fully as much in the foreign languages. In its new form in these foreign libraries it makes very attractive literature to present to the people. This little tract briefly reviews the facts of God’s revealing the coming of the flood, the time of the sojourn of the children of Israel in Egypt, the destruction of Sodom, the famine in Egypt, the time of the journey of the children of Israel in the wilderness, the seventy years’ captivity in Babylon, and the very year of the coming of the Messiah, and from these instances and the general teachings of the Scriptures, draws the conclusion that if God is careful to warn His people of such minor events, it would be reasonable to expect the revelation of such an important event as the second coming of Christ, and then proceeds with a full exposition of this most important subject. It is a tract that should be in the homes of all the people; 32 pages; price, 2 cts. Order of the State Tract Societies. “The Niagara Falls Route.” | EAST |

Review Office Employees Aid Sanitarium Building Fund
At the usual Sunday morning chapel service this week, Brother I. H. Evans, the manager of the Review Office, suggested to the employees that all connected with the institution should share in the experience of their fellow workers at the Sanitarium by joining with them in setting apart a certain portion of the wages received from the present time until July 1, to be given to the building fund. This suggestion met with a hearty response, and a substantial amount will doubtless be realized in this way. He also stated that the Board of Trustees were considering the propriety of publishing an illustrated souvenir of the Sanitarium, including a history of the institution and its work, a full account of the scenes and incidents connected with the fire, and a statement of plans for the future. He thought the Review and Herald Office might print a large edition of such a souvenir as its donation to a sister institution in distress, and that the proceeds would add quite a good sum to the building fund. The trustees will give this matter immediate attention, and they will doubtless adopt the plan. This spirit of willingness to share in the trial through which our fellow workers are passing will bring blessing to all hearts. The Missionary Acre Fund.
By S. H. Lane
It has been arranged that all the money that can be raised through the Missionary Acre plan shall for the present be devoted to the aid of the American Medical Missionary College and Training School for Nurses. The Sanitarium was not, and certainly is not now, able to purchase the old Battle Creek College property for the use of the medical college. Though the visible building through which it operated largely is now in ruins, the Sanitarium still lives. Its principles are active. Thousands are earnestly devoted to these principles. The buildings of the Battle Creek College are now the principal headquarters for the scores of patients at the Sanitarium. These buildings exist, the property can be paid for, and the medical school carried on to accomplish more good than it has in the past. The nurses and young doctors that are sent forth from the Sanitarium are certainly doing a good work in the world, and it is now time to come to the aid of this school. As the writer stood upon the ground and saw the Sanitarium and Hospital go down, section after section, men and women not of our faith, with tears in their eyes and with faltering voices, said, “The noble institution has gone.” Three of the city’s ministers declared that although an institution which was a benefit to Battle Creek, to the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, and to the world is vanishing rapidly, and the news of its destruction will bring sorrow to many, yet thousands of individuals who have learned its principles, and have been benefited by them, will come to its rescue; and they further declared that they would use their influence to rebuild it, for they highly appreciated its powerful influence for good in the world. What will be received on the Missionary Acre Fund is not, at present, expected to rebuild the institution, yet every dollar received on the Missionary Acre Fund will go to help purchase the property of the Battle Creek College to aid the Sanitarium in its work. Reader, will you not help now as never before? God is in this work, and noble young men and women from the different States are being trained to carry the grand principles of health reform everywhere. Will you not plant an acre, perchance two, three, or five, and let the proceeds of that planting go to help this work? If not able to do so, will you not plant a garden, or can you not raise some poultry, and give the proceeds? Some parents have given a brood of chickens to their children, that they might have a part; the chickens have been fed, and the proceeds from the sale of the eggs sent in. A good many dollars have been received in this way. Some have given the proceeds of all the eggs laid on the place on the Sabbath day. Others have given one week’s wages, and some their earnings for a longer period of time. Reader, will you not do something to aid this work? Now as never before we should not allow ourselves to falter. We have reached a crisis for good in this cause. God lives and reigns, and His principles are eternal. We should begin to plan now to plant and sow, that we may reap for the Lord next autumn. As the spring work opens, will not our young men and women send in means which they have earned, donating a portion of their time for this work? Last year one church in Kansas farmed five acres, and have sent in quite a good many dollars. Who will begin this year to plant? All who will co-operate, please drop a card to me, at Battle Creek, Mich., that I may know what each is willing to do. I expect to take the field in a few days, and I wish to visit many of the churches throughout the country and lay this matter before them. We are in earnest and we believe that the friends everywhere will take hold of this plan for helping a worthy institution. Let none for a moment be discouraged, for all connected with it are of good courage. Hundreds of young men and women are declaring that they are in this work for life, or until the Master shall come. Shall there not be one grand, hearty response from the pine-clad hills of Maine to the golden shores of the Pacific Coast, and from Alaska’s northern boundary to Florida’s southern point? Reader, what say you? Now, now, is the opportune moment. Who will respond? S. H. Lane. Notice to the Readers of the Review.

By Editor
No apology is needed for devoting so much space this week to reports and appeals relating to the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” It is the burning question just now. It is encouraging to think that so many thousands of our people are united in this great effort, and are determined to push it to a successful issue. We shall expect to hear reports of special blessings received in this work.
