Report from Iowa.

By George I. Butler

Our meetings in Des Moines closed last Monday night and we have packed up our tent and laid it by for this year. Our meeting in Des Moines, so far as creating a great or general interest was concerned, was a failure. I confess myself disappointed in regard to the interest we should see manifested there to hear the truth. It is but justice to Bro. Canright for me to say that the entire responsibility of going there falls on me, as it was rather against his judgment that we went, though he was willing to make the trial. From certain reasons that presented themselves to my mind, I judged it best to go there, and I cheerfully bear all the responsibility in the premises. From the first, things seemed to work against our interest. The weather was very wet for the first two weeks; indeed, it rained nearly every day, so that it was damp and unpleasant in the tent. We did not give a full course of lectures, thinking the interest would not warrant it. Yet we trust some good was done. Seven, at least, commenced to keep the Sabbath. We sold thirty dollars' worth of books, and got about a dozen new subscribers for the REVIEW. There were a few scattered Sabbath-keepers before in this community, hardly known to each other. These, with those who have recently commenced, will make a little company of a dozen or so, who can have Sabbath meetings, and thus form a nucleus around whom others can gather. We trust the seeds of truth scattered here may not be lost.

Eld. Shortridge, formerly acting with us, lives in this vicinity, and has preached on the Sabbath question, and some others, in the past, and a number have commenced keeping the Sabbath under his labors. He has of late adopted the age-to-come view, and the restoration and final salvation of all men, thus following in the steps of Elds. Brinkerhoof and Snook. It remains to be seen whether he will give up the Sabbath entirely, as they have done. Some of his former friends do not follow him, and of course will naturally be drawn toward us. Some of them, we think, will act with us henceforth. Our meetings only held a little over two weeks in this place.

Our tent meetings have thus closed for this season. I think we have great reason for encouragement, though we have not accomplished as much as we should have been glad to see; yet we have done something in every place we have been. We have seen between sixty and seventy commence keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. We have obtained nearly sixty new subscribers for the REVIEW, and sold upwards of one hundred and fifty dollars' worth of our books. For this degree of success, we thank the Lord, and feel like still trying to bring souls to the knowledge of the truth. Our labors this summer have been in new fields where the present truth has never been preached before, and our expenses have thus been quite high. Bro. Canright and I have come to this place to bring our labors here to a completion. We expect to hold meetings here a week or two.

We desire the prayers of God's people for our success in the work of the Lord. GEO. I. BUTLER. Winterset, Iowa, Sept. 20, 1870.

An Appeal for the Indiana Camp-Meeting.

By E. B. Lane

DEAR BRETHREN: After due prayer and meditation, it has been decided to hold a camp-meeting in your State, to commence Oct. 6, and continue five days. The worn condition of the servants of God who have been engaged in the camp-meeting enterprise this season, has made this meeting an uncertainty until the present time. This, with the late season of the year, is the cause of so short a notice. The Ohio camp-meeting is now past, and those who conducted it are willing, and have consented, to come among you and hold this meeting, and thence go on to Kansas, Providence permitting.

Now, brethren, I am aware that you are ardent and zealous for the prosperity of the cause in your State. This camp-meeting is an omen of good for the prosperity of the truth among you, and will test your interest for the cause.

Bro. and sister White, Bro. Littlejohn, and others, will be in attendance, this being their eleventh camp-meeting held in the different States this season. Sr. White's long experience as a public speaker will add much to the interest of this meeting, and, in connecting with the excellent labors of others and the blessing of God, will afford a spiritual benefit too precious to be lost, and worth making a great effort to obtain.

This meeting will be held near Kokomo, a place accessible by railroad. You will find in the next REVIEW the definite place of this meeting; also we will mail you bills for that purpose. And now, brethren, will you make a rally that this camp-meeting may not be the last held among you? Though you have but a short notice, make up your minds to come on receipt of this, and then make your worldly business bend to it. By so doing, you will surely be on hand. Let nothing but sickness prevent. Be on the ground as early as Wednesday, the 5th, so as to be fully prepared to commence meetings on the 6th. Come, calculating to defray the expenses of this meeting as far as you can. May Indiana come nobly up to the work, with others.

There will be on the ground our large Michigan tent, also five smaller ones from Battle Creek to rent to those who cannot otherwise provide themselves. All who can provide themselves with tents should be sure to do so. If you know of tents that have been used at other camp-meetings that you can borrow or hire, bring them on. If there are any army tents you can get, procure them, they are excellent. If you are scattered and alone so you cannot procure a tent, bring a strip of heavy cotton factory cloth, twelve yards in length, which can be sewed together, and so provide yourselves with tents, and benefit each other. This cloth can be sewed together after you get on the ground, used for the meeting, and afterward used for clothing, as you may need. A little effort made in this direction will secure quite a good many tents and make all comfortable. Those who can, had better bring stoves. Provisions will be sold on the ground. Still all who can, had better bring them. Flesh food, poultry, &c., are not the most proper articles of diet to use on such an occasion.

Come one, come all. Bring your unconverted children. Induce your friends to come with you, the more the better. Make a mighty effort to sustain this meeting; and may the blessing of God reward you. Those wishing to learn the views we entertain, will have an excellent opportunity at this meeting. Try to induce them to come.

E. B. LANE.

Report from California.

By John Norton Loughborough

Since our last report we have been holding meetings most of the time in Petaluma with the tent. Our tent is now taken down, and we would report as the present result of our effort here that ten have taken their stand to keep all God's commandments. There was no public opposition that we heard of, but a secret influence, and an earnest effort on the part of the ministers to keep their members away.

Four were baptized last first-day morning.

At the quarterly meeting in Healdsburg the first Sabbath in this month three united with the church. One of them a sister from Anderson, fifty miles north, who, with her husband, embraced the truth by reading. This was their first opportunity of attending a Sabbath meeting. One sister from Bloomfield was baptized also.

In Bloomfield some others are deciding for the truth. The work moves on some; if slowly, we trust surely. We are in hopes that with those who have come out, there will be the greatest carefulness to ever be in earnest in the work of obeying the Lord. How important for the success of the cause in any place that it start right. Pray for us that we may move in the Lord's fear in all our efforts on this coast.

Report of Meetings.

By C. H. Bliss; W. E. Bliss

We left home July 21, to commence meetings in North Prairie, Bureau Co., Ill. We continued meetings until Sept. 4, speaking in all, 39 times.

The interest was very good the first two weeks, while we held our meetings in the M. E. church. When we began to present the Sabbath question, the house was closed against us. We were then compelled to move the meetings one and one-half miles to a school-house; and haying coming on, the interest gradually decreased, until but few came to hear.

Some confess that we have the truth, but none as yet seem willing to obey. We have spoken in weakness, yet we trust some good will result from our labors. Our daily prayer is,

“Nearer my God to thee, Nearer to thee, E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me.”

C. H. AND W. E. BLISS.

Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

Died, at Holmes Hole, Mass., Aug. 26, 1870, widow Sarah Dexter, aged 85 years, 7 months, and 13 days. Sr. D. was interested in the advent cause in 1842. She embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, July, 1846, and has been devoted to the cause of present truth from that time to the present. She testified previous to her death, that her peace was made with God, and that she was going to sleep in Jesus. The community in which she lived has lost a friend and Christian counsellor. We miss her now, but hope to meet in the better land. J. H. LAMBERT.

Died, in Portland, Me., July 31, 1870, of cholera morbus, Bradbury Furguson, aged 68 years. J. B. GOODRICH.

Died, in Dixon, Mo., Sept. 16, 1870, Mary, wife of William McCord, aged 22. Her sufferings, which at times were severe, were borne with patience. She fell asleep in the hope that she would be glorified at the coming of Jesus. May the Lord pour consolation into the heart of her bereaved companion, and enable him with us so to live that we may be caught up together with her to meet the Lord in the air, and rest an unbroken family in the haven of rest and peace. L. D. SANTEE.

Died, in Stanton, Mich., Aug. 27, 1870, Buna Ette, infant daughter of Levi and Nella Edson. As the parents mourn for their loved one, may they strive to live a life here which will enable them to live with her in that blest world where suffering and death never come. R. M. PHILO.

Died, in North Liberty, Ind., Sept. 3, 1870, seemingly more from old age than any apparent disease, Daniel Carpenter, aged 85 years. For over half a century Bro. Carpenter observed the Sabbath of the Lord, having received light on the subject from reading when about 28 years of age. He then united with the Seventh-day Baptists, with whom he continued his connection till some fifteen years since, when he embraced the views of prophecy taught by Seventh-day Adventists. His course was that of an upright, consistent Christian, and he came down to his grave well ripened for the heavenly garner. The funeral was held at the S. D. Adventist house of worship in North Liberty, Sept. 4. Remarks by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. U. SMITH.

Death of Brother Aldrich.

DIED, of typhoid fever, at his residence in Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 17, 1870, Jotham M. Aldrich, in the 44th year of his age. Until a few days before his death the disease seemed to be under full control of the medical attendants, and he was apparently doing well. But with a sudden change of the weather, he began rapidly to sink, and so continued till life was extinct. The blow fell suddenly, and his family and friends feel deeply afflicted in their great loss.

Bro. Aldrich first heard the truth at the tent-meeting held in Somerset, N. Y., by Brn. Andrews and Cottrell, in 1860. He soon after embraced it, and from that time till his death was constant and unwavering in his love of it. No trials, nor adverse circumstances of any kind, were able to cause him for a moment to entertain a doubt respecting the great truths that pertain to this time. He was for four years connected with the Publishing Association.

From the first of his sickness he had an experience of a very encouraging character. A thorough work seemed to be going on in his own heart. The grace of Bible humility became especially valuable in his eyes. He felt like consecrating himself wholly to the Lord, and experienced his blessing and presence in his sickness. He expressed himself as perfectly resigned to the Lord's will, and regretted that he had not sooner learned to trust fully in him. He thus fell asleep in hope of a part in the first resurrection.

He was highly esteemed in the community, his many social and genial qualities of heart, securing him numerous friends. A large concourse of people attended the funeral, on the 20th. Bro. White spoke words of comfort on the occasion, according to Paul's instruction in 1 Thess. 4:18.

Western Camp-Meetings.

By James White

We had not fully given up holding a camp-meeting in the far West this fall, till we found at the close of the Charlotte, Mich., Camp-meeting that we were extremely worn, and felt the discouraging fact that our wealthy brethren in Michigan had lost the spirit of sacrifice, had lost that living interest in the cause they once felt, and had become close of their means. Our sacrifices of means and physical strength during the past season, had been great, and as no one responded to our expressions of interest for the cause in the wide western territory, embracing Kansas, we gave the matter up.

But on the Ohio camp-ground, the burden rolled upon us, and we have decided to hold camp-meetings in Indiana and Kansas in the month of October. See appointments.

We make the sacrifice in our much-worn condition to hold these meetings, for the good of perishing souls. Who wish to share with us? Such are invited to assist with their prayers and their means. Send your prayers up to God in faith. And you who are the Lord's stewards, please send your free-will offerings to me at Battle Creek. Should more be received than needed to meet the expenses, it will be applied to the General Conference fund. Here is a good chance for wealthy brethren to try themselves, and see how much they love the cause.

Notice of Errors in Camp-Ground Business

If any errors are detected in the business transacted on the camp-ground at Charlotte, let us be notified immediately.

Adventists and Intoxicating Liquors

By Editor

“One who would like to know,” inquires, “if Seventh-day Adventists consider it right to keep liquor on hand to treat their friends and neighbors with.” He says he never supposed they did, and should not have asked the question had he not seen it done. It would seem that there must be some mistake in regard to the standing of the person who would do such a thing. S. D. Adventists, uttering so outspoken a protest against even tea and coffee, do not, for that very reason, think it necessary to say much in regard to the infinitely greater abomination of intoxicating liquors. And the person who would do as above asserted, we care not what his or her profession, is not a Seventh-day Adventist, and will not be acknowledged by any in good standing, as such.

Rome Surrendered.

Rome has surrendered, and is now held by the Italian troops. The inhabitants received their deliverers from Papal tyranny with enthusiastic demonstrations of delight. The Pope, it is stated, ordered his troops not to resist. In that, for once he proved himself infallible, as resistance would have been both a folly and a crime—a folly because of its uselessness, and a crime because it would have sacrificed the lives of soldiers without hope of success.

Thus ends the temporal power of the Papacy. For, whatever bargain Italy may make with the Pope, there can be but one temporal sovereignty in Rome, after it becomes the capital of Italy, and that will be the civil government. Whatever else the Pope may save from the wreck, he cannot possibly retain the sceptre of civil power. The tiara must take its place below the crown in authority, however much interest it may retain in matters spiritual. Really, Rome was surrendered at Sedan. The Pope was conquered by the Germans, along with Napoleon. It was France that has so long kept Italy out of Rome. When the sword of Protestant Prussia struck down the leading Roman Catholic Power of the world on the fatal field of Sedan, it also shivered the sceptre of temporal sovereignty in the grasp of the Pope. And this, although the war between Germany and France is not in any manifest sense a religious war.

What will be done by Italy with her prize yet remains to be seen. Probably she will deal tenderly with the Pope, being herself a Catholic Power; but the time is forever past for the Church of Rome to exercise political sovereignty over nations, to hold a rule above the reach of civil law, or to claim kings, governments, and peoples, as its vassals.
