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

MORTENSON.—Died at Monitor, Ore., June 14, 1900, of cancer, Mrs. Rena Mortenson, wife of Julius Mortenson, aged 28 years. A husband and two small children remain, but they sorrow not as others who have no hope. WARREN J. BURDEN.

DICKENS.—Died at Rawdon, Ontario, July 14, 1900, of pneumonia, my mother, Mrs. J. O. Dickens, in her fifty-second year. She accepted the Third Angel’s Message in 1886, to which she was faithful to the end. The hope of a part in the first resurrection gave her much comfort in her last sickness. EMMA SULLIVAN.

BOWMAN.—Died June 17, 1900, of heart-disease, induced by an operation for appendicitis, Clark Bowman, of Edenville, Mich. During his illness he sought and found peace with God. We trust that he will welcome the Saviour at the first resurrection. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. W. H. FALCONER.

CRANE.—Died at Portland, Mich., July 8, 1900, Clarence L. Crane, of Battle Creek, Mich., in his twenty-seventh year. He accepted present truth about five years ago, and has been a member of the Battle Creek church since that time. Words of consolation were spoken by the writer, from John 6: 54. E. K. SLADE.

PLIMEL.—Died at Eagle Point, Ore., July 9, 1900, Sister Charlotte Plimel, aged 65 years, 11 months, 17 days. Sister Plimel accepted present truth under the labors of Elder Geo. J. Butler in 1873, and remained a consistent Christian until her death. She died with a bright hope. Ps. 17: 15 was chosen by the deceased as the text for the funeral service, which was conducted by Elder J. C. Cole. JOHN ARNOLD.

FRIEZE.—Died at Yale, Mich., July 2, 1900, of a complication of diseases, Sister Viola Frieze, aged 32 years. About three years ago, under the labors of Elder Day, she gave her heart to the Lord, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Memphis, Mich., where the funeral service was held July 5. The friends are comforted with the hope of meeting at the coming of the Life-giver. H. M. KENYON.

COCHRAN.—Died at Monrovia, Cal., Russell R. Cochran, a native of New Hampshire, aged 58 years. For many years he was a sufferer from asthma, and at last fell asleep. He was a brother of Mrs. M. D. Learned, of Monrovia, Cal., Mrs. F. L. Mead, of Africa; Mrs. W. L. H. Baker, of Australia, and Mr. A. R. Cochran, of Saginaw, Mich. Several months before his death, Brother Cochran gave himself wholly to the Lord. He died in the blessed hope. W. M. HEALEY.

HANSON.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at the home of her son, near Conde, S. D., Dec. 16, 1899, of typhoid fever, our beloved wife and mother, Mrs. M. A. Hanson, aged 48 years, 9 months, 16 days. She accepted present truth several years ago, and had been a member of the Iroquois church for several years. She leaves a husband, son, daughter, and an adopted daughter to mourn her loss. We fully believe she sleeps in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by Brother L. Nielson. J. S. AND CLEORA HANSON.

LIVING FOUNTAINS OR BROKEN CISTERNS

By E. A. Sutherland

An Educational Problem for Protestants,

By Prof. E. A. Sutherland.

This is a book which all should read and possess. Now, as never before, we need to understand the true science of education. If we fail to understand this, we shall never have a place in the kingdom of God.

“Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” is a work that deals with the true science of education, giving a history of the two systems of education, and showing that the cause of the failure and apostasy of Israel, the early church, the Reformers, and modern Protestants, and also the weakness of the remnant church, can be traced to no other source, and accounted for on no other grounds, than the pagan methods and wrong principles of education instilled into the minds of the children and youth of the past ages and present generation.

If you would know how to avoid making the mistakes thousands of others have made in the education and training of your children, secure a copy of “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns,” and read, and ponder, and practice its teachings.

Here is what two of our ministers say concerning the book:—

Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

BOWLING GREEN, KY., July 30, 1900.

DEAR BRETHREN: I have just finished reading “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns,” and I can not speak too highly of the book. Books have been multiplied among our people, many of them bringing out the same thoughts already presented in other works; but this is not so with “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns.” The author has taken up a new subject, untouched by any of our other writers—a subject which the book demonstrates to be second to no other. In fact, it is the all-important subject for this time; for it is the life of the Third Angel’s Message. It deals with a living issue, and one which every true Protestant must soon recognize and accept, or be swallowed up in the gulf of “human reason,” and be numbered with “all the world” that shall “wonder after the beast.” “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” should be studied by every educator in the land. This means every father and mother, as well as teachers and preachers and all that expect to become such. May God bless it in its mission.

Your brother worker, W. J. STONE, Pres. Tenn. Riv. Conf.

BETHEL, WIS., Aug. 7, 1900.

Review and Herald Pub. Co.

DEAR BRETHREN: It has been my privilege to study the book “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns,” by Prof. E. A. Sutherland, of Battle Creek College. This, to me, is a very interesting and helpful volume. I sincerely wish it could be in every family where the name of Christ is professed, and carefully studied by them all. It deals truthfully and well with a theme that in importance is second to none with which the people of the Lord have to do. Its arrangement is such as to greatly help the reader to grasp and understand the truth with which it deals. It begins at the right place, and advances on true principles in a connected manner, and concludes when it has said enough, and not before.

WM. COVERT.

“Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” contains 380 pages, printed from new type, substantially bound in cloth; price, $1.25.

Are You a Reader of this Important Paper?

If not, you are missing much that you ought to have right now!

Never was there more imperative need of a thorough understanding of the principles underlying the rights of conscience than at the present time. Old controversies are being revived. New ones are springing up; and now, more than ever before, Seventh-day Adventists ought to be able to give a reason for their faith.

“The most momentous struggle of all the ages is just before us,” says “Testimony for the Church,” No. 33, page 239. This was true when these words were first printed, and it is doubly true now, as is also the following from the same source, pages 246 and 248:—

“The Sentinel is like a trumpet giving a certain sound; and all our people should read it carefully, and then send it to some relative or friend, thus putting to the best use the light that God has given them.”

“Let every worker for God comprehend the situation, and place the Sentinel before our churches, explaining its contents, and urging home the facts and warnings it contains.”

If you are not now taking the Sentinel, please subscribe at once. The International Religious Liberty Association, by whom the paper is now published, needs your help in making the paper a success, and you need the truth that the paper contains.

The Nations Are Moving.

Russia, Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and the United States—the great world-powers—are marshalling their hosts in the Orient.

The prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation are fast passing into history; and if you would keep pace with the progress of the Third Angel's Message, you should read the “Marshaling of the Nations,” by Elder A. T. Jones. It contains an excellent five-color map of the partitioning of the world among the five leading world-powers. It will be read with interest and profit by your neighbors and friends. You can do no better missionary work than to order a large quantity of this pamphlet to loan to ministers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and persons in every station of life.

The first edition has been sold, and the second is selling rapidly. You should order at once. Price, 10 cents.

Address your tract society, or the REVIEW AND HERALD PUB. CO., Battle Creek, Mich.

The Kaiser's Global Reach

In a speech, Monday, August 6, the German emperor said that “the arm of the kaiser reaches to the remotest parts of the world.”

The Outlook on American Imperialism

THE Outlook, August 11, that says that it is “anti-imperialist” also says: “That there is a possible danger of imperialism in America, we are not inclined to deny.”

American Claim Against Turkey

The United States charge of affairs in Constantinople, August 4, again presented to the -Porte the demand of the United States that Turkey pay that claim of eighty-eight thousand dollars, and “insisted on prompt settlement.” And again the nations smile.

Friar Property Holdings in the Philippines

WORD from the Philippines, August 5, says:—

At the suggestion of Archbishop Chappelle, Judge Taft has been examining the heads of the religious orders, as well as Mgr. Nozaleda and other ecclesiastics, preparatory to the time when it will be necessary to take definite action regarding the affairs of the friars and the church. It appears that the real-estate holdings of the friars are smaller than had been expected.

And so Judge Taft is directed by the suggestions of Archbishop Chappelle, is he? And it was only to be expected that it would “appear that the real-estate holdings of the friars are much smaller than had been expected.”

The Fever for Shedding Blood

The Springfield Republican of July 31 exclaims: “What in the world is the matter with the world? The fever for shedding blood is ‘in the air’ all around the globe. Those nations which, a few years ago, were relied upon to help keep the peace of the world are breaking it. The contagion of killing spreads.” The answer is, We are in the last days, when the “perilous times” have come, in which “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived;” and when, because of all this, there hastens the “time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation,” from which none can be saved but those whose names are “written in the book.” Is your name in the book of life? “Get ready, get ready, get ready.”

The Peril of the Republic

IT is in the goodness of God in order that he may save men, that the themes that are of paramount interest in the world are also the themes of paramount interest in the Third Angel’s Message. “The Peril of the Republic,” by Prof. P. T. Magan, tells all about one question that is of paramount interest, as it is in the prophecies and in the world just now. Review and Herald Pub. Co.; price, $1.

The Boxer Movement in China

Two of Li Hung Chang’s grandnephews are in the United States, and with respect to the Boxer movement in China they say that in one of its phases it is “the battle of the poor, who have nothing and are starving, against the rich, whose property they wish to take from them.” It will not be very long before that sort of a movement will be rife in the United States.

The Midsummer Number of Good Health

By Editor

THE Midsummer Number of Good Health is out, and certainly is all that was promised concerning it. To mention the specially good things in it would require the mention of each particular article; as, “The Wonderful Healing Powers of Common Water,” “Some Things That Water Will Do for the Sick,” etc., etc. Be sure to get a copy and see for yourself that this is the simple truth. Address Good Health, Battle Creek, Mich.

THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS

is coming to be somewhat of a household word among Seventh-day Adventists. This is good. The Lord, through his grace, is operating upon human hearts, and they are awakening to the fact that the GIFT OF GIVING is one of the greatest gifts belonging to the Third Angel’s Message. Several letters have lately come in, saying, “We inclose this money FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS.”

Allied Armies in China

A GREAT German general, Count Von Waldersee, has been chosen as commander-in-chief of the allied armies in China. It is feared that the campaign will not be ended in two years. The real danger is that it will never really end until the battle of the great day. “On to Peking” is now the watchword. Fifty thousand troops are at present in the allied armies. By the end of September it is expected that, altogether, two hundred and thirty thousand men, with five hundred guns, will be in China, and one hundred and thirty-eight war-vessels in Chinese waters.

The Marshaling of the Nations

In its issue on Sunday, July 29, the San Francisco Examiner, one of the two leading papers of the Pacific Coast, printed a double-page illustration and written notice of the “Marshaling of the Nations.” The space occupied and the illustration, if they had to be paid for, would no doubt have cost nearly a thousand dollars. This will convey an idea of the importance of that little pamphlet, as viewed by this great newspaper; and yet that is not an overestimate of its importance. But when it is counted of such importance that that great newspaper would take the time to read it, to write it up, to illustrate it, to print, word for word, its special points in such great space, and bring it thus to the attention of its thousands upon thousands of readers, then is it not of sufficient importance for you to read it, and for you to bring to the attention of the persons whom you shall meet? Will you let the world get ahead of you in believing and spreading this very present truth? It sells easily—almost at sight. Price, only 10 cents. Address Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., or Review and Herald.

HELP FOR THE WOMAN’S GOSPEL WORK.

By Editor

IN an article handed in by Sister Irwin for the Woman’s page, but too late for this week’s REVIEW, she calls attention to the fact that the “Woman’s Gospel Work is curtailed because it has no resources upon which to depend,” and expresses the wish that money might be supplied in some way to help this work. Without any knowledge of these words of Sister Irwin’s, there has come a quick response from a good friend. “Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” Isa. 65:24. Sister S. M. I. Henry’s daughter,—Mrs. Rossiter,—all of her own planning, has made to the Woman’s Gospel Work the following generous offer with “My Mother’s Life”—her life of Sister Henry:—

To every woman who, before Dec. 1, 1900, will sell, at the regular price, $1.50, three copies of “My Mother’s Life,” Mrs. Rossiter will send a fourth copy free; and in addition will give to the Woman’s Gospel Work five per cent on the full price of all three copies sold: that will be seven and one-half cents on each copy sold. The way to do it is this: Send $1.50 and get a copy, to show. Then take orders for two copies, and send in the money, $3, with these two orders, and you will get three copies in return; and twenty-two and one-half cents, in money, will go at once into the money box of the Woman’s Gospel Work. Of course, if any one chooses to send at once the money for three copies, $4.50, she can do so, and will in return get four copies of the book, and twenty-two and one-half cents will go to the Woman’s Gospel Work. The offer is good on not simply three copies for each woman, but on all that the women will sell: with each three sold, a fourth one goes free.

Here is a good opportunity to do gospel work, and get for the Woman’s Gospel Work a good fund besides. See: if only one thousand copies were sold, the Woman’s Gospel Work would receive seventy-five dollars; and that would be a great help. But it should be easy to sell at least five thousand; and that would give to the Woman’s Gospel Work three hundred and seventy-five dollars. The work of circulating the book is itself gospel work; for every copy will do only gospel work wherever it may be read; and in addition to this, it brings a fund with which to do other gospel work. We sincerely wish that “My Mother’s Life” were read by every girl and by every woman in every Seventh-day Adventist family, as well as in all families. Address all orders to Mrs. Mary Henry Rossiter, 294 Van Buren St., Battle Creek, Mich. Remember that this offer is good to any woman till Dec. 1, 1900.

Now, sisters, go ahead; and only success to you.

The Seven Trumpets Price Reduced

By Editor

Two weeks ago we stated that the price of the pamphlet “The Seven Trumpets” was 15 cents: That is wrong, the price is only 10 cents. The price was 15, and that is printed on the pamphlet cover; but the price has been reduced to 10 cents. Every reader of the REVIEW who hasn’t it, ought now to send ten cents and get it, to read along with the studies in the REVIEW on the basis of the Third Angel’s Message in the Seven Trumpets. Address Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.; or Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.
