IS MAN IMMORTAL?

By Editor

A RECENT REVIEW contained an extract from a late sermon preached in New York City by the well-known clergyman, Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, on the immortality question, and the position was taken that the soul is not immortal. Many prominent ministers throughout the country are thinking upon the same subject with Dr. Parkhurst, and are boldly giving expression to their conviction. Their sermons and their writings are constantly calling the attention of the public to this important question, and the people generally are becoming interested in the study of the nature of man. There is no religious subject at the present time more interesting to the public mind than this one, and it is a favorable opportunity to place our publications treating directly on this subject. It is providential that these interests are created for us, and we should be faithful and prompt in disseminating the light intrusted to us as a people when these favorable investigative waves sweep the thinking portion of the public easily within our reach.
Lying on our shelves are thousands of volumes of that most opportune work, “Here and Hereafter,” which should be in the possession of the people. Wherever this book has gone in the past, it has defeated Spiritualism, which appeals to the popular views of the condition of man in death as a foundation for its claims. It reveals the teaching of the Scriptures so clearly that purgatory, saint worship, Universalism, and a host of other errors, which are based on the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, are shown to have no divine authority and no Scriptural right to exist. The entire doctrine of the immortality of the soul is traced from its origin to its ultimate end, as is illustrated in the following cut:—
This diagram is one of the illustrations taken from the book; and it is designed to bring before the mind of the reader at one view, the real origin of the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, and the nature of its fruit. Those who read the book and examine the testimony of the Scriptures therein brought forth will be convinced of the truth made clear in the illustration.
Every church should have a number of these books to loan to those who cannot buy them, and every member of every church should sell this book to his neighbors at this favorable time.
The size of the book is 5 x 7¾ x ¾ inches. It contains 357 pages, is neatly bound in cloth, and sells for $1, postpaid.

ANOTHER HIDDEN TREASURE FOUND.

By Editor

For several years the Review and Herald Publishing Company has had calls for “Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene,” but as the book was out of print and our stock exhausted, we could not fill the orders that came to us. Recently we found about forty copies of this book, and we now offer them, as long as they last, for $1.35 for the plain, and $1.60 for the gilt, net, postpaid.
This book is in two parts, nicely bound in one volume of 268 pages, 6 x 9 inches. “Christian Temperance” was written by Mrs. E. G. White, and “Bible Hygiene” by Elder James White. As early as 1860 Mrs. White began writing a series of articles on the subject of Health, and these commanded such earnest consideration that thousands changed their entire way of living, and their constant demand led to the publication of these articles in book form.
“Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene” is, therefore, a compilation of the early writings of Mrs. White upon the subject of Health and Temperance, in which have been added several articles by Elder James White, upon Bible Hygiene, with an account of the experiences of Elders J. N. Andrews and Joseph Bates.
The purpose of this volume was to gather into a condensed form, writings which were scattered through various volumes, and some that had never before appeared in print, so that the writings of Mrs. White upon this subject might reach as large a number as possible of those for whom they were especially intended. Doubtless some of our readers will be glad to know that a copy of this excellent book can now be obtained.

A PRACTICAL REFERENCE BOOK.

A Guide to Correct Language,

BY THE WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR, PROF. G. H. BELL.
The name of the author of this book is sufficient to guarantee its practicability. Educators all over the country pronounce Professor Bell’s treatise on the English language superior to any other published. The following introduction to the book will give a good idea of its contents:—
“This Guide is intended for reference rather than for study. It should be carefully read, and might be studied with profit; but it need not be learned. It sets forth facts that everybody wants to know, and makes them so easy of access that the book becomes as convenient as a dictionary, and as indispensable. It is a treatise for business men, farmers, and mechanics, as well as for printers, teachers, and students; and will be specially useful to those who write for the press.
“PART ONE.—The term Practical Grammar suggests the character of this part of the work. No attempt is made at parsing or complete analysis. About the parts of speech, and about phrases and clauses, there is just enough said to enable one to understand the rules of syntax and of punctuation. Those who lay no claim to scholarship can learn, by the use of these pages, to write with tolerable accuracy. There are thousands who could once parse well, but who have since that time nearly lost what grammar they learned at school. Such may not have time for thorough study, but they can easily pick up the chief essentials of grammar from the plain statements of this work.
“PART TWO.—The study of Punctuation has been beset with difficulties. Some works on the subject are so brief as to be quite insufficient; while others are so complicated that the student is bewildered in mazes of rules, exceptions, and remarks.
“By a new and entirely different plan, this work is made at once complete and simple. It would be hard to find in our language a good sentence that cannot be thoroughly punctuated by the rules herein given, and yet this completeness does not in the least interfere with the convenience of finding at once the information desired. For instance, the rules relating to the punctuation of a Series are grouped together, and by a glance at the diagram you may see just where to turn in order to find these rules and the examples that illustrate them. Just so it is with the Participial Construction, the Adjective Clauses, Co-ordinate Clauses, etc. You go as directly to the rule you want, as you could to a word in the dictionary, and even more so.
“PART THREE.—The Rules for the Use of Capitals are numerous, but are all needed, as may be seen from the examples given to illustrate them. There is such a want of uniformity in the use of capitals as to render the subject an extremely difficult one, but the rules here given are sustained by good usage, and will be sanctioned by the best of scholars.”

THE COPYGRAPH.

It is wonderful what a pen of ink will do with the Copygraph. Read the following testimonial from one who uses this process daily:—
“I have been using the Copygraph in connection with my work in conducting the Review and Herald Evening School, and find it an exceedingly convenient and useful device. The chief points of merit are (1) its readiness for immediate use, thus avoiding delays that are occasioned by getting other contrivances ready; (2) the number of the duplicate copies of a writing that can be secured from the impression obtained from the original writing. Under proper conditions one hundred may be obtained, at least half of which will be quite as clear and distinct as the original; (3) the rapidity of the work is sufficient to satisfy an ordinary demand; (4) the use of ordinary paper. This avoids the expense of procuring specially prepared paper; (5) the simplicity of the process of cleaning the apparatus when the work is completed; (6) its cost is so slight as to be easily within the reach of all; (7) its size and weight are such that a person traveling can very easily carry it in his gripsack or trunk.
“School-teachers, Bible workers, ministers, Sabbath-school officers and teachers will find the Copygraph especially helpful to them in their work, as they can easily and perfectly produce duplicate copies of diagrams, synopses, lessons, notices, etc.
“I cordially recommend the Copygraph to the persons referred to above, also to all others who have occasion to require duplicate copies of written matter. G. W. MORSE.”

It Must Go.

IN a recent letter concerning the work in the New York Conference, Brother George B. Thompson, the president, writes as follows about the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons:” —
“We are now in the beginning of one of the greatest efforts we have ever made in the sale of ‘Christ’s Object Lessons.’ All the force of the Conference is to be devoted to pushing this work during March, as this seems to be the most favorable time for us. We are planning to have every church organized for service, and hope to sell a large number of our books during this time, and to continue till they are all sold. I have just called a meeting of the Conference Committee and the District directors to consider and mature the plans further. We have decided that this thing must go.”
This has the right ring to it, and the work will surely succeed. Now let all the other Conferences come to the same decision, and with one united effort the burden of debt can soon be lifted.
BROTHER M. C. STURDEVANT passed through Battle Creek last week, on his way to Matabeleland, which is to be his future field of labor. Brother Sturdevant felt called to this field, and expressed his desire in the matter before the Mission Board invited him to go. For the past ten or twelve years he has labored in the South, the latter part of this time in the State of Georgia.

Housewives in the Canvassing Campaign

THE experience of two sisters has come to our notice, whose work in the campaign for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” illustrates what can be done by godly women who, under ordinary circumstances, have their hands and hearts fully employed with home duties. These sisters are busy housewives, and at best can devote but a few hours a week to canvassing. When the plan was made known to them, they threw heart and soul into it. As a result they have sold 104 copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” 120 “Steps to Christ,” 35 “Best Stories,” a large number of the special issues of Good Health and the Signs of the Times.
These women have two young sons, and they, too, have caught the spirit of the campaign. The boys have sold twenty small books and a large number of the health magazines.
You may feel that all these persons are natural canvassers, but such is not the case. They were obliged to overcome a natural distaste for meeting the people. It is possible to do this, and in this campaign there is an opportunity for every child of God to gain a rich experience.

Help Needed.

By Arthur G. Daniells

Now, as never before, efforts are being put forth by our leaders and people everywhere to pay off the entire indebtedness of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. The work, however, is great, and cannot be accomplished in a day. In the meantime, we are owing large amounts of money. These debts, although being reduced by the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” and by gifts and donations, still amount to quite a large sum, and we are constantly in need of money with which to pay off notes as they become due; and in order to take care of these notes properly, we are obliged to borrow more money. These loans, of course, do not increase our general indebtedness, as the money thus borrowed is used to pay old notes. If there are any of our people who have money which they do not feel able to give to the work, but which they would be glad to loan to a legal association formed under the auspices of the General Conference, we should be glad to receive a letter stating the amount to be loaned and the rate of interest expected. Address such letter to Prof. P. T. Magan, Berrien Springs, Mich. At the October council of the General Conference, Professor Magan was appointed financial secretary of the General Conference. His work is, in a general way, to work up funds for our various enterprises and associations.

The Spread of Spiritualism.

WRITING in The Metropolitan Magazine of the extent of the belief in Spiritualism, Mr. Frederick W. Weller claims that this cult now has a million adherents in the United States and Canada. He gives the following particulars concerning the means employed in propagating this system of error: “About three hundred and fifty lecturers, pastors and platform mediums are engaged in presenting the spiritualistic thought to the public. They are, as a rule, inspirational speakers and psychics, and mediums. In addition to these there are not less than fifteen hundred psychics engaged in presenting publicly the various phases of spirit manifestation, while it is estimated that there are about ten thousand mediums who exercise their gifts in private. Home séances and private circles are strong factors in extending and strengthening the hold which this cult has taken upon the minds of the people. In many places the largest and most desirable halls are regularly hired for meeting-places, while there are about eighty-five churches, temples, auditoriums, and other buildings in the United States dedicated to Spiritualism.” The simple statement of these facts ought to arouse every believer to renewed diligence in the effort to give the truth to the people. O for the zeal of Paul, the missionary to the Gentiles, whose “spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry”! The very stones will soon cry out, unless human voices are dedicated to the work of telling the gospel message. “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest.”

Study the Forward Movement Lessons

By Editor

WE urge a careful study of the lessons now appearing in The Forward Movement department. The three lessons which have now been printed form the basis for an intelligent study of the lessons which will follow, and which will deal with the practical uses of water in some of the more common diseases. It will be well to preserve these articles for future reference, as they will need to be reviewed occasionally.

The Missionary Magazine

EVERY one who reads the March number of The Missionary Magazine will certainly be quickened and encouraged as the result. The first editorial paragraph strikes the keynote, as follows: “The situation in all the world-wide mission field to-day should stir us to such activity as has never before been witnessed in the history of God’s work on earth.” All those who “love His appearing” will be cheered as they read of the spread of the message in the various countries. This publication ought to be in every family.

Sanitarium Plans After the Fire

The Sanitarium managers have been busily occupied since the fire in adapting their work to the changed circumstances, and in considering plans for the future. The insurance was divided among a large number of companies, but the settlement was adjusted without any serious difficulty, and the work of clearing away the ruins is now well started. A number of architects and contractors have been in town during the past week, desirous of submitting plans and specifications for the erection of new buildings. Urgent propositions have been received from various sources offering financial inducements to the managers to locate the new Sanitarium in other places. In the meantime the citizens of Battle Creek are giving serious thought to the subject. A deputation from the city council has waited upon the Board of Managers to learn more definitely about the method of conducting the institution, and to satisfy themselves that it is really doing philanthropic work to such an extent as would justly entitle it to exemption from taxation. There seems to be a growing feeling on the part of the citizens that the city ought to withdraw its appeal to the supreme court in the tax case now pending. The case was decided against the city in the circuit court, Judge Winsor taking the case from the jury, and ordering a verdict for the Sanitarium, on the ground that it was a benevolent institution. The whole situation will be carefully studied by the Sanitarium managers before they definitely formulate their plans. There are other considerations which have a bearing upon their decisions, besides the financial side of the question. Much wisdom is needed just now that right conclusions may be reached. All the friends of the institution should bear the work on their hearts, and pray for its prosperity.

Employees Selling Christ’s Object Lessons

It is gratifying to note the earnest spirit with which the employees in the Review and Herald Office are taking hold of the work of selling “Christ's Object Lessons.” In a company recently made up there, even young apprentice boys receiving but three or four dollars a week, were eager to go out to other places, paying their own expenses and losing a day's wages. In this case the foreman offered to pay them for the day's work from his own income.

Sanitarium Work Continues After Fire

While two of the main buildings of the Sanitarium have been destroyed by fire, the reader will see from the cuts appearing on the fourth and fifth pages of this issue, that sufficient buildings are left to carry on the work of the institution, as is now being done. The principal thing lacking at the start was the adaptability of the space to the Sanitarium work, and this change is being rapidly effected.

Correction to Lesson Text

A CONFUSING typographical error occurred last week in the lesson on the fifth page. The fourth and fifth lines from the bottom of the second column should read: “and in case the increased heat elimination keeps pace with the increased heat production, no rise of temperature will result.”

W. H. Wakeham Invited to Egypt

BROTHER W. H. WAKEHAM, the Bible teacher at the Mount Vernon Academy, has been invited by the Mission Board to go to Egypt, with the expectation of taking the general superintendency of that field. He expects to start immediately after the close of the school year.

The Supplement to This Issue

THE supplement to this issue is filled with interesting and instructive matter. It has a message for all whose hearts are drawn out in earnest desire for the more rapid advancement of the work.
