Circulation of the Temperance Number of “The Youth’s Instructor,” by States, March 1 to July 1, 1909

It is interesting to note that, Missouri excepted, the same twelve States now lead in the circulation of this special number that were in the lead March 28, 1909. Canada now appears as tenth in the list of twelve States and countries, Missouri appearing as the thirteenth.
To date we have printed one hundred thirty thousand copies of this number.
In these lists are included the regular subscribers and the number of copies sold by our agents. It should also be remembered that oftentimes a State is indebted for its record to the sales of agents from a neighboring State.
In the right-hand column are listed the June sales of this special number. It will be seen that 7,198 copies were sold by nineteen of the fifty-one States and countries listed.

Notice!

ELIZA H. MORTON, 1377 Washington Ave., Woodfords, Maine, says: “I wish to thank those who have sent me back numbers of the Missionary Magazine and Home Missionary and Sabbath School Worker. It is impossible for me to tell who sent the papers, as they came during our camp-meeting, and were mixed up with other papers; but if those who have sent them will drop a card saying how much is due, I will attend to the matter. They are used in missionary work. More copies of the Worker will be appreciated.”

Obituaries

PERIN.—Marion Justus Perin was born in Conway, Iowa, Dec. 13, 1887; and died in Wichita, Kan., May 17, 1909, aged 21 years, 5 months, and 4 days. About six months before his death he heard and accepted the message of present truth. We laid him away in hope of the resurrection of the just. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. H. F. KETRING.
SCHUSTER.—William David, infant son of W. P. and M. J. Schuster, died of pneumonia, in Jacksonville, Fla., June 17, 1909, aged ten months and twenty-two days. The little one was born in Connersville, Ind., from which place the parents removed to Jacksonville to engage in treatment-room work. The funeral service was conducted by the writer; text, 2 Sam. 14:14. R. W. PARMELE.
ORRELL.—Died May 16, 1909, Mrs. Elvina V. Orrell, in the sixty-eighth year of her age. Sister Orrell accepted the message for this time about twelve years ago in Baltimore, the place of her decease. She endured suffering and disappointment with Christian fortitude and patience, and fell asleep firm in the faith once delivered to the saints. The services were conducted by the writer, assisted by the local Methodist minister. S. B. HORTON.
BUCKLEY.—Died at Benedict, Neb., June 3, 1909, of appendicitis, Carrie Buckley, wife of Brother Prichard Buckley, in the thirty-sixth year of her age. The deceased was baptized in 1894 by Elder Daniel Nettleton, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which she remained a faithful member until her death. A husband and two sons, besides other relatives and friends, mourn their loss, but not without hope. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. E. A. CURTIS.
FLOCK.—Died May 30, 1909, at his home in North Enid, Okla., John F. Flock, aged 68 years, 5 months, and 11 days. He was married in 1861 to Miss Caroline Ramsey, who survives him. Twelve children were born to this union, eleven of whom still live. He accepted present truth ten years ago in northern Kansas, ever living a faithful, devoted life. For some years he patiently suffered. Now he sleeps in Jesus, awaiting his call on the resurrection morning. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. I. A. CRANE.
HILL.—Brother Chas. D. Hill was born in the town of Bamston, July 5, 1861, and died of intestinal obstruction, at Baldwins Mills, Quebec, June 12, 1909, aged 47 years, 11 months, and 7 days. Brother Hill accepted the Adventist doctrines when a young man, and for eight years has been a faithful believer in the third angel's message, having learned present truth through Elder H. E. Rickard. He sleeps to rise at the call of Jesus. The funeral was held in the Methodist church. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, based on 1 Cor. 15: 21-23. GEO. H. SKINNER.
CARSCALLEN.—George Edward Carscallen was born near Kingston, Ontario, March 10, 1844. He died at his home near Osnabrock, N. D., May 25, 1909, after a long illness. In February, 1908, he had a paralytic stroke, from which he never recovered, but gradually became weaker and more helpless until the end. Father accepted the Sabbath truth in 1892, under the labors of Brother W. B. Hill, and loved it until his death. During his last illness he assured us many times that he was ready to go. He was a very patient sufferer, and we believe he will have a part in the first resurrection. A companion, two sons, one daughter, and two brothers are left to mourn. Arthur, the eldest son, is a missionary in British East Africa. Brother R. Chase, assisted by the Presbyterian pastor, conducted the funeral services. We laid him to rest in the Union Cemetery at Osnabrock, to await the coming of the Life-giver. MARY CARSCALLEN.

Sabbath-School Mission Giving and Avondale School

THE quarterly summary of Sabbath-school reports which appears in the August number of the Sabbath School Worker shows that our schools in the United States and Canada for the first quarter of this year have donated to missions the sum of $16,989.53. The summary for foreign conferences and mission fields is for the previous quarter, and amounts to $6,470.34. The sum of the two gives a record of our entire field, the world, for one quarter, and amounts to $23,459.87. A little increase over this record will mean one hundred thousand dollars to missions from our Sabbath-schools during the present year.
ON their way westward, Prof. B. F. Machlan and family spent two days in Washington last week. They sail from Vancouver August 13. Professor Machlan goes to Australia to take charge of the Avondale school, in place of Prof. C. W. Irwin, who connects with the educational work in California. The brethren of the Atlantic Union Conference regretted deeply losing the services of Professor Machlan at South Lancaster, but by their release of a valued worker they are investing largely in the important work which Avondale is established to do in Australia, Polynesia, and the populous East Indies.

Signs of the Times and Missionary Departures

By Editor

The August number of the Signs of the Times is a little ahead of its unusually good predecessors. Its leading article is an illustrated description of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, by the editor. Other strong, stirring articles on subjects of current thought are presented. Both in literary merit and in mechanical make-up it reflects credit on the publishers. This number should have a wide circulation.
This last page is the Mission Board register of departing missionaries. We have omitted to note the following: From Australia, in March, Bernard Judge and wife, to Sumatra, East Indies; from England, in April, B. L. Morse, and from Germany Ernst Raessler and wife, all for British East Africa; from Germany, in April, M. Kunze, for German East Africa.

A Party Leaves for Chile

With the South American party, sailing last week, Brother C. F. Foster and wife and child left New York for Chile, going by way of Buenos Aires.

Elder Strickland Goes to Nova Scotia

This week Elder J. A. Strickland, who, since his return from Jamaica, has been laboring in Washington, left for Nova Scotia. He will doubtless make Halifax his place of service for the present. His family will follow later.

Periodical Agents’ Report

By Editor

MANY of our readers have been interested in the reports of individual agents who have told of their success with the ten-cent magazines, but we present on the twentieth page a summary of the work of the periodical agents for the month of June, which we think will prove to be a pleasant surprise to a large proportion of our people. This tabular report, which will hereafter be a regular feature of the Publishing department, is worthy of thoughtful study. It tells much.

Life and Health

OUR excellent health journal, Life and Health, not only should be sold to the health-seeking public, but it should be carefully studied month by month in every Seventh-day Adventist home. Every number contains valuable instruction which all should make their own. The August issue is brimful of live, practical advice on various health topics. Read this journal for the help it will give you; then you will heartily unite with the army of workers who are carrying it to the general public.

The Work and the Workers

By Editor

OUR second page department, The Work and the Workers, is meeting with the appreciation of our readers. A communication just received from a sister in Canada says: “Tell the REVIEW staff that the second page, about magazine selling, is encouraging some here to go out. We plan to give our whole time to this work about October 1. I live nine miles from town, on Muskoka Lake. Keep on telling about it. It does us all good.” And this is but one of our many letters breathing courage and good cheer.

The Correspondence School

By Editor

We direct particular attention to the announcement in the Educational department by Prof. W. E. Howell, regarding the Correspondence School. For a long time there has existed an urgent demand for the creation of such a school in connection with our denominational work. Many young men and women whose present circumstances will not permit them to attend one of our regular schools, will find in this new provision for an education that which will in a large measure supply their lack. How better could they employ the long winter evenings than in the pursuit of one or more studies in this school? It also affords an excellent opportunity to many of our workers who may desire to perfect their knowledge in some of the subjects taught. Professor Howell is a teacher of experience and ability, and every student who may enter the school will receive careful, painstaking attention and assistance. We hope that no one needing the benefits of this school will neglect to improve the excellent advantages it offers.

Prosecution for Sunday Labor

By K. C. RUSSELL

THE following is a copy of a warrant that has been issued against nine Seventh-day Adventists, five women and four men, in Greenville, S. C., for the crime of “sabbath”-breaking!
“For working on the sabbath day in violation of Statute No. 500, all of which is contrary to the aforesaid statutes, in each case against the peace and dignity of the state.” Witnesses: Henry Senn, Charley Holcombe, Davis Knight, and Jacob Miller.
Friday, July 16, the warrant was served on five of the nine persons against whom it was issued,—three women and two men,—and the trial was set for Wednesday, July 21; but a postponement until August 4 is hoped to be secured, at which time the writer expects to be present.
Let all pray that through this experience the truth may be glorified and souls won to Christ. K. C. RUSSELL.
