Earnest Work in Korea

SISTER MIMI SCHARFFENBERG sends the following note, which shows how earnest work wins in Korea:—

“Among our women is one sister who is exceedingly diligent, and sticks to the work well. Recently, when out together, she ran ahead of the rest of us, and said, ‘I have no time to wait for those who walk so slowly. I mean business, and always have to hurry if I want to accomplish something.’ We saw no more of her that day. That afternoon she put sixty papers into the homes of the people. She has no education, being hardly able to read; but she has a wonderful memory, and memorizes many Bible texts, so she can tell the people the truth, although she can not read. I think it is her great earnestness that gives her the success she has.”

In Possession of the Angels

By C. G. Bellah

“No sooner is the name of Jesus spoken in love and tenderness than angels of God draw near to soften and subdue hearts.”

After bowing in our little room in the hotel, and claiming God’s promise as our own, Brother —— and I started out. We agreed that while one talked, the other would pray. On approaching the second house, the owner came out, shut the door, passed through the gate, shut that, and stood with his back to it as much as to say: “No farther.”

We spoke a friendly good afternoon, but his face hardened even more, if that were possible. We cautiously made another approach, but were met with a gruff, “What is your business?” With a prayer in our hearts, we spoke of Jesus and his love as tenderly as we could. The transformation was marvelous. His hands dropped, and his face relaxed and softened. We waited, for we dared not interfere; the angels had him in charge. In silence he opened the gate, and we followed.

Passing into the sitting-room, he called his aged father and his wife, and even the little children were quickly gathered about his knees to hear the old, old story told. All our hearts burned within us as we opened to them the great controversy between good and evil, showing the signs that unmistakably point to the quick return of the Blessed One.

As we left, having sold them a copy of our book and bade them good-by, we felt that it was not for the last time. Some glad day we expect to walk down the banks of the river of life with them, or perchance sit with them under the tree of life, and have a testimony meeting. C. G. BELLAH.

Camp-Meeting in Humboldt County, California

By Claude Conard

PLANS are being laid for a local camp-meeting at Eureka, Humboldt Co., Cal., to serve the churches in that section of the State. Elder E. W. Farnsworth, president of the conference, and other conference workers, will be in attendance. Those desiring further information about the meeting, tents, etc., should correspond with Elder S. T. Hare, Eureka, Cal.

CLAUDE CONARD, Sec. California Conference.

Western Oregon Conference

By P. A. HANSON; C. F. FOLKENBERG

THE ninth annual session of the Western Oregon Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Forest Grove, Ore., June 8-18, 1911, for the election of officers for the ensuing year and the transaction of such other business as may come before the conference at that time.

Wisconsin Camp-Meeting

By W. H. Thurston

I WISH to call the attention of our people in Wisconsin to the change of our annual conference and camp-meeting from autumn to summer. After due consideration and counsel it has been decided to hold our annual meeting in June. We have not had opportunity to counsel with all the churches relative to this change; but the matter was decided at our State meeting, and we trust it will be satisfactory to all. The annual conference and camp-meeting will be held in Portage, June 8-18, and the time is drawing near. This will be an important meeting, and should be well attended by all our people, both young and old. Aside from our conference laborers, good help will be provided by the General Conference.

We have our program well arranged, and plan to have system and order, and to give careful and prayerful attention to all departments of our work. It is due our churches to say that the condition of our conference is gradually improving, and we believe this will continue. We desire to see a goodly number from all our churches at the camp-meeting. We need to study, counsel, and pray together about the work at home as well as abroad.

Members of the Wisconsin Conference, remember that you are the conference; the work is yours, the burdens and blessings are yours; success or failure depends upon you. However, we shall not plan for failure, but shall plan, work, and pray for success. We need your presence, counsel, and help at the camp-meeting. Come to help and be helped. Come, and bring your families. We invite our young people to come. Come to the camp-meeting.

W. H. THURSTON, President.

Secure his recommendation in writing, and send it.

Eastern Pennsylvania Conference

By W. H. Heckman

THE seventh annual session of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held June 7-18, 1911, in connection with the camp-meeting at Emmanuel Grove camp-grounds, near Allentown, Pa.

The location is ideal. A more pleasant camp-ground, with more perfect facilities, could not be found anywhere,—extensive grounds, beautiful shade-trees, and well-built cottages, free from all the discomforts incident to rain and dampness. All these should be incentives to our people to come, and to persuade their friends and neighbors to attend this annual gathering of God's people. In addition to these temporal comforts, a spiritual feast will be provided for all.

The election of conference officers and various other matters of interest to every loyal Seventh-day Adventist will come before the meeting.

The first session will be called June 8, 1911, at 9:30 A. M.

W. H. HECKMAN, President.
