— According to the Madrid correspondent of the London Express, “the Spanish press is becoming more and more suspicious in regard to Great Britain, which it accuses of planning to seize the Balearic and Canary Islands, as well as designing the conquest of the whole peninsula. The newspapers in Madrid claim that the iron ring which Great Britain has formed around Spain is getting gradually closer. British fleets are continually moving in Spanish waters near the coast, and in the bays of Galicia. The English fleet effected numerous soundings near the Balearic Islands. They also simulated various attacks on the islands, landing each time over 500 men, with artillery.”
— June 24, John Barrett, former United States minister to Siam, speaking of the Chinese situation, said: “In restoring peace in China the United States should be the principal influence to determine the future and the fate of China. It is America’s influence only that can successfully solve this problem, and keep China from an impending break-up. America must stand for the integrity of the Chinese Empire; for we have everything to lose, and nothing to gain by her partition among the European powers. On the other hand, if America allows China to be divided, the expansion of our commerce and the extent of our moral influence will be absolutely limited by the attitude and policy of European nations. Another interesting point is this: the United States is the only power whose leadership and dictation of policy Russia would accept.”
— Dispatches from Washington say that “the President and his cabinet are unanimously of the opinion that the time for promises on the part of the Chinese government has passed, and that it is the imperative duty of this government to put a force of men in China large enough to compel the protection of American missionaries and business men, and they are proceeding to perform that duty. The War Department fully realizes that the campaign in China may be long and arduous, and the necessary orders are being issued to forward all supplies that our troops may need, and it is significant that these orders include a plentiful supply of winter clothing and camping outfits. General Chaffee specially impressed it upon the minds of the War Department officials that the section of China in which our troops will operate has an early, and often a hard, winter.”
— The British troops won a victory over the Ashantis, near Dompoassi, after losing over ninety men.

— Owing to failure to agree on a wage scale, the officers of the American Tin Plate Company announce that a general shut-down of all their mills and plants will take place. Thirty-five thousand men will be affected.
— According to an Associated Press dispatch, “to all intents and purposes, the South African war, as far as the average Britisher is concerned, is over. With the exception of the possible capture of President Kruger and the home-coming of Lord Roberts, the calendar of probabilities contains nothing of vital interest. Already China has completely eclipsed South Africa as the burning question of the day. The capture of 500 members of the imperial yeomanry, which a few months ago would have thrown the nation into a fit of despondency, self-analysis, and furious abuse of its own officers, has passed comparatively unnoticed.”
— At about four o’clock in the afternoon, Saturday, June 30, an explosion occurred on one of the big ocean steamers of the German Lloyd Steamship Company lying at her dock, at the Hoboken piers, New York City. The fire from the explosion soon spread to two other large steamers of the same line, to a swarm of lighters, canal boats, and other craft in the neighborhood, and “in an incredibly brief time the whole river front was ablaze.” Three ocean liners—the “Saale,” the “Bremen,” and the “Main”—and over twenty smaller vessels were destroyed by the fire. From 150 to 300 persons perished. Property damage will not be less than $7,000,000.
— In a letter recently written to the Detroit Christian Herald, from Paris, France, Mr. C. A. Snow says: “I learn that there will be no congress of religions such as was held at Chicago, but there is on the program ‘L’Histoire des Religions,’ to be discussed from the 3d to the 8th of September, inclusive; and this will doubtless bring up the subject in its breadth. There will be no participation by the Roman Catholics. As the very intelligent Frenchman M. Emile Bourgeois, of the office of the secretary-general, said: ‘The Catholics do not like discussion.’ For reasons of policy the Catholics took a part in the Chicago symposium. It had to be done, or the utter unfitness of the church for intelligent modern humanity and Christianity would have been accentuated in a way seriously to injure this great politico-religious organization in the United States; but there was an entre nous [betwixt us] understanding between the American hierarchy and the Vatican, that the fraternization of Cardinal Gibbons and others, at Chicago, was for effect, and their levity on this occasion did not in the least affect the ancient policy of Rome. Indeed, it was quickly followed by a repressive and retrogressive encyclical from the pope, and a reaction against ‘Americanism.’ There is not in France, or in French politics, any reason why the Catholic Church should make a pretense of liberality, as she did in the United States at Chicago; for just as an attempt to appear abreast with the age would help her in a country where religionists think, it would injure her prestige and her power with a people who, in matters of religion at least, have had for ages all thought repressed.”
Jackson Mission.
By R. E. Harter
The Jackson Mission was established over a year ago, by Battle Creek College, for the purpose of giving students a training in practical missionary work. It is evident that the students who have been sent here from time to time, about fifty in number, have profited by the experience. They have developed rapidly in character, by coming into contact with the different lines of work, such as canvassing, Bible work, visiting, nursing, and conducting meetings. We find that their success in different fields to which they are sent is largely measured by their success here. Not only have the students been blessed, but some of those for whom they have labored are now rejoicing in the truth. As a result of the last year's work, twenty persons have accepted the Sabbath, although not all of these have joined the church.
The plan has always been to make the work self-supporting, as far as possible, and to this end those who have worked in the mission have labored. At present we are disposing of one hundred copies of the Signs of the Times and ten copies of the REVIEW every week, and the profits on all sales of papers and books are turned into the mission. In this way the immediate needs of the mission family are supplied. There is one item of expense, however, which we are unable to meet. That is the rent. No way has been provided to meet this except by taking subscriptions. We therefore call your attention to this branch of Christian Help work, feeling that it is worthy of your consideration and help.

Wanted: Names of Adventists Not Taking the Review
WANTED, the name and address of every Seventh-day Adventist in your church who does not take the REVIEW. Address the editors.
A GOOD OFFER.
By William P. Pearce
DEAR BRETHREN: I have had much joy in assisting a “shut-in” who belongs to your denomination. He is a sweet character, though a great invalid. He longs for the coming of Jesus. I am not able to do as much as I wish; for I have several worthy children of God whom I assist at intervals. But I wish to ask the good brethren of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to help in a unique way. My book, the “Tabernacle,” which has had quite a sale, and of which last month S. M. Butler, president of the Michigan Sabbath-School Association, wrote: “From the general plan and scope of your little book, I think you have done lovers of Bible truth good service,” shall be used as the means. It sells for 45 cents, but for every order I get within a week after the publication of this notice in the REVIEW AND HERALD at 28 cents, I will send this brother twenty-five cents. Who will purchase this book and learn more of God’s truth and by so doing help one of God’s suffering children? He does me lots of good. I want to be a helper.

THE INDIANA CAMP-MEETING.
By R. S. Donnell
There will be at least three camp-meetings in the State this year. The time and place for holding these meetings is given in the column of this paper containing the appointments for the camp-meetings for the season, and so we do not give them here.
Ten days is the time set for each of these meetings. By reference to the appointments, it will be seen that there are eighteen days intervening between the Sullivan meeting and the La Fayette meeting, and ten days between the La Fayette meeting and the Muncie meeting. The time of holding these meetings was thus appointed in order that the meetings may be continued a week or more longer than the time announced, if the interest demands.
These meetings are all announced as local meetings, and it is the desire of the committee to conduct them in harmony with the instruction given in a Special Testimony dated Feb. 26, 1900; that is, to present our faith and its reasons to the people, and to carry on revival work from the beginning to the end of the meeting. This will make these camp-meetings of special interest to our own people, and also to those not of our faith; for while doctrinal subjects will be presented with earnestness, the real object to be attained is the conversion of every soul.
In the first-page article of the REVIEW of Feb. 27, 1900, we read this pointed statement: “The Lord calls upon his people in 1900 to be converted. The Lord can not purify the soul until the entire being is surrendered to the working of the Holy Spirit.” And in the Testimony already referred to, these words appear: “It is true conversion of the whole man that God requires.” And in still another I read: “God calls for fathers, mothers, and children to become partners with him in the great work of rescuing their own souls from Satan’s power. Let them unite with Christ, and strive with heart and mind and strength to save themselves through faith. When, through the grace of Christ, you have been converted, God calls upon you to wear his yoke, and labor in his lines to save other souls who are bound up with Satan, and who do not realize their peril. Hear me; for Christ’s sake, hear me. The season of God’s mercy will soon be ended.” In view of such words as these, how appropriate to spend the summer in camp-meetings, working for our own conversion, and for the conversion of others. I do not believe, brethren, that you can afford to miss these camp-meetings. If you stay away, you may miss just what the Lord has for you; so please don’t do that, but let all in reach of each meeting put forth every effort in their power to be there.
As to the urgency of the work at the present time, the Testimony first referred to in this article, says: “Mark, if you will, how all through the word of God there is manifest the spirit of urgency, of imploring men and women to come to Christ, to deny appetites and passions that corrupt the soul. Men are urged to put away covetousness, to sell all that they have, and give alms.” And of our consecration to this work, it further says: “Let there be no defilement in thought. Let no impurity enter the secret chambers of the soul. Keep the mind uplifted. Let the will be brought into subjection to Christ. Look steadfastly unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Give prominence to the temperance reform, and call for signers to the temperance pledge. Everywhere call attention to this work, and make it a living issue.”
As to the importance of the camp-meetings, and the way in which they should be conducted, the Testimony further says: “Our camp-meetings are one of the most important agencies in our work. At every camp-meeting work should be done for the children. Let suitable workers be constantly educating the children. Ask the blessing of the Lord on this seed sown, and the conviction of the Spirit of God will take hold of even the little ones. Through the children, many parents may be reached.”
“The Lord has a special work for his delegated messengers. They are to give the invitation, ‘Come; for all things are now ready.’ This invitation is to be given to those who have not taken their position to obey the fourth commandment. These will rejoice that they have not been cut down as cumberers of the ground, while living in disobedience to the commandments of God. When they become enlightened, there is a vast reformation wrought in their whole religious life. They can say, as did the blind man whom Jesus healed, ‘Whereas I was blind, now I see.’”
“Carry the revival service from the beginning to the end of the meeting. As souls are converted, let them be baptized. Let baptism be administered in an open stream, if possible, and give the occasion all the solemnity and importance that can be brought into it. The angels of God are always present at these services.”
“The work of presenting the warning message to our world is a great and solemn work. The world has a right to know why we believe as we do. The camp-meetings afford opportunity for giving the information they desire. This work is plainly foretold in Isaiah. See chapters 41, 42, 43, 49, 55-58. This is the work to be done.”
Brethren, one and all, everywhere throughout the State of Indiana, let me solicit your undivided interest and attention in these camp-meetings that are to be held in the different parts of the Conference during the summer and fall. Let me say, to every one of you, that while these meetings are announced as local meetings, they are, by no means, meetings of little importance. A world is to be warned, and a portion of that world lies within the boundary lines of this Conference. Not alone upon the ministry, but upon every individual member of the church, devolves no little share and responsibility in giving this message of warning. At these camp-meetings there will be a work for every one of you to do, and we wish you to be there. Please do not begin to say, “Well now, I really wanted to attend the camp-meeting nearest to me, but it comes just at the busiest time of all the year. My crops demand my attention just at that time, and I can’t go.” Brethren, the Lord is soon coming, and he has sent us the word, “Get ready, get ready, get ready.” Your own salvation, and that of your family, should far exceed any other interest, and now, yes, just now, demands your undivided attention. Do not let any trivial excuse or worldly consideration keep you away. If you live in the southern part of the State, begin at once to get ready to attend the meeting to be held at Sullivan, July 19-29.
We extend to the brethren living in southern Illinois a cordial invitation to attend the meeting at Sullivan. Tents can be rented at reasonable rates.
R. S. DONNELL.
THE ALABAMA CAMP-MEETING.
By W. Woodford
The third annual camp-meeting will be held at Fruithurst, Cleburne County, August 2-12. Let all come to this important gathering, expecting great things from the Lord. Clouds are gathering, the storm is approaching, the great day of wrath is near. Dear brethren, can we not lay aside the cares of this life for a few days, and seek God earnestly for his Holy Spirit? Bring the children; the Lord has need of them; special efforts must now be put forth for them if they are saved in the kingdom.
We shall do all we possibly can for the comfort of those who attend. Hygienic meals will be served on the grounds, at ten cents a meal. A full corps of workers will be in attendance at the meeting, so all branches of the work will be represented. Those desiring tents will please notify the writer as soon as possible. W. WOODFORD.
A WORKER WITH THREE CHILDREN.
By A. O. Tait
A few days ago we received a short letter from a sister in Virginia. Though short, it is nevertheless interesting reading, and is as follows:—
_____, VA., June 4, 1900.
Signs of the Times, Oakland, Cal.
DEAR BRETHREN: In reply to yours of May 31, asking what use I make of the fifty Signs sent me each week, I will say that I deliver them to subscribers in this city. If I had the time, I could secure a much larger list; but I have three children, and the care of them, with my other household duties, does not allow me to devote more time to the work than the fifty papers require. My husband, being a licentiate employed by the Virginia Conference, is away from home about all the time. I am greatly encouraged in the Signs work. One person was brought to the knowledge of, and has accepted, present truth through the Signs I carried to her each week. I would be glad if I was situated so I could devote all my time to the Signs work; it is a blessed privilege to be allowed to help herald the message.
Yours in the work,
MRS.
We know of a sister in California who has four small children, but who, notwithstanding the multiplicity of her family duties and cares, is able to do a good deal of work for the Signs of the Times. She takes many subscriptions, and also distributes the papers from house to house, among her neighbors and friends.
We would not make the claim that every sister with a family has the ability to do such a work as this right on the start; but it should be evident to everyone that inasmuch as there are some of our sisters who can do so much work as this, in addition to their household duties, there must be many now idle who could do something. Have you ever heard the voice of God calling you to go labor to-day in his vineyard? and have you been making excuses? We have reached the time when the world is absolutely filled to the depths with dangers. The second coming of Christ is right at hand; the great resurrection day is just before us; and Satan is making his master efforts to keep these great truths from the minds of men. The Signs of the Times is an agency in the hands of God to enlighten the world upon these sublime themes. It seeks to carry every phase of the Third Angel’s message to the world. The Lord has recognized it as one of his pioneer agencies. Are you doing what you can to extend its circulation?
The undersigned would be glad to correspond with any of our brethren and sisters, suggesting various plans and methods, used with success by our different workers throughout the field, for the circulation of the Signs. A. O. TAIT.
Signs of the Times, Oakland, Cal.
OHIO CAMP-MEETING.
By R. R. KENNEDY
The Ohio Conference is making preparations to hold one of the largest camp-meetings ever held in Ohio. The beautiful, elevated portion of the fair-grounds overlooking Dayton, one of the finest cities in the State, has been secured, together with the wooden pavilion, amply large for public services.
The grounds are interspersed with fine shade trees, which will add to the comfort of the campers. Street-car lines pass the gate from all parts of the city, as well as from several neighboring cities and towns as far as Cincinnati. We never have been so favorably situated for the securing of a large attendance as we shall be this year. Never have we had such an opportunity to get the light of the Third Angel's Message before the public as will be afforded on this occasion.
Yet, notwithstanding all these natural advantages, our meeting will be a failure unless there is an individual preparation of heart to enter into the work of witnessing to the people who attend this important meeting. Let this work begin at once, and do not wait to get a revival at the meeting, and thus lose the greater portion of the time to work for others. “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.” If this is done effectually by the Spirit and the Word, evil surmisings and murmurings will be put away, and there will be such a convocation of God's people as has not been held since the days of the apostles; for we are in the time of the latter rain.
Plan to attend, even if it requires a determined effort and a sacrifice; for there is a great work to be done, and time is short. If there be any who feel cold and indifferent because iniquity abounds, and feel that their love is waxing cold, let them begin at once earnestly to seek the Lord for his Spirit and favor, and come to the meeting with the victory, ready to help perishing souls to get life through Christ.
The usual reduction of fare over the railroads will be secured by the certificate plan. There will be no stables on the grounds, and no accommodations for horses can be provided, except such as the city and surrounding country afford, which are as good as can be found in most cities.
The first public service will be held on Thursday evening, August 16. The time and services preceding this date will be for those who arrange the camp. Plan to be there the entire time of the meetings for public service, August 16-26.
The annual Conference will convene during this time. Let there be a careful selection of delegates for this work.
There will be an election of trustees of the Ohio Conference Association of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Thursday, Aug. 23, 1900, at 9 A. M. Also on the same day and place seven trustees will be chosen to fill vacancy on the board of the Mt. Vernon Academy. R. R. KENNEDY, Pres.

THE First Edition OF 50,000
... OF THE...
“Open Letter to Christians of All Denominations, the Church of Rome Excepted,”
