Obituaries.

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.*

Millett.—Died at College View, Neb., Dec. 27, 1899, of paralysis, Sister Ruth E. Millett, aged 63 years, 10 months, 5 days. She accepted the truth near Lodi, Wis., about forty years ago. She died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. O. O. Johnson.

Richards.—Died at Worden, Ill., Sept. 11, 1899, of tuberculosis, Benjamin F. Richards. Brother Richards was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Woodburn, Ill., and was a firm believer in the truths of the third angel's message. E. A. Curtis.

Raymond.—Died at Wheeler, N. Y., Dec. 17, 1899, of paralysis, Sarah J., wife of Elder J. W. Raymond. Fourteen years ago she had a shock, from which she partially recovered, but it was followed by three more. Remarks were made at the funeral by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:35, 36. A. O. Burrill.

Dean.—Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. F. C. Oviatt, at Alden, Mich., Martha P. Dean, aged 79 years, 4 months, 19 days. Sister Dean became an Adventist in the “fifties,” lived a consistent Christian, and died without a shadow between her and her Saviour. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. O. Soule.

Briggs.—Died at Saline, Mich., Nov. 29, 1899, Mrs. Lucella S. Briggs, aged 73 years, 6 months, 2 days. Sister Briggs accepted present truth under the labors of Elders Van Horn and Canright in 1866, while on a visit to friends at Watrousville, Mich. She lived an earnest Christian life, and died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. S. M. Butler.

Cole.—Died near Lookingglass, Ore., Feb. 6, 1899, of pneumonia, our infant son, Roy A. Cole, aged 1 year, 1 week. Also drowned in Coquille River, near Gravelford, Coos County, Dec. 13, 1899, our oldest son, Luther C. Cole, aged 15 years, 2 months, 2 days. He was baptized when eleven years old, at the Walla Walla camp-meeting. We hope to meet our loved ones when Jesus comes. J. C. and M. E. Cole.

Hollis.—Died at Lyndon, Vt., Dec. 4, 1899, of pneumonia, Sister Addie Hollis. Sister Hollis was reared in the third angel's message. Her father, Elder Hollis, will be remembered by many of the older members of our faith. It can be truly said, She lived the truth, and sleeps in Jesus. Elder Henderson (Baptist), who was also present at the funeral of her father, officiated at the funeral.

Van Horn.—Fell asleep in Jesus at her home in Jackson, Mich., Oct. 14, 1899, of typhoid fever, Edith M. Van Horn, in the eighteenth year of her age. She accepted present truth three years ago, and at the time of her death was an earnest and active worker in the church, and was beloved by all who knew her. Assured she will be awakened “in the first resurrection,” we sorrow not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken from Rev. 14:13. O. F. Campbell.

Howard.—Died near Ladon, Tex., at the home of her son, Hilman Howard, Aug. 8, 1899, of old age, Elizabeth Howard, aged 80 years, 8 months, 15 days. Grandmother was entirely blind for six years; but for about one year before she died, she could read “The Review and Herald,” at the top of the paper she loved to hear read so well. She accepted the truth about sixteen or eighteen years ago under the preaching of Elder R. M. Kilgore, and was faithful until death. Columbia M. McFarland.

Armstrong.—Died at Deansboro, N. Y., Jan. 14, 1900, of paralysis, Sister Eliza White Armstrong, aged 84 years, 4 months, 8 days. She began the observance of the Bible Sabbath over fifty years ago, and was baptized by Elder James White. Elder J. N. Andrews was baptized at the same time. She united with the Brookfield Seventh-day Adventist church, remaining a member till the time of her death. Her hope was firm in the soon coming of the Lord, and the relatives and friends who mourn her loss are comforted with the thought that she will come forth in the resurrection of the just. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer, Text, 7 Cor. 1:3, 4. G. B. Thompson.

Stowell.—As the sun went down Sabbath, Dec. 30, 1899, Sister Mary Melissa Stowell, wife of Brother L. O. Stowell, fell peacefully asleep in Jesus at Redlands, San Bernardino Co., Cal. An attack of la grippe about eight months ago developed into pulmonary tuberculosis. About four months ago, with a hope of being bettered by a change of climate, Sister Stowell moved, with her husband, from Battle Creek, Mich., to California. But respite from suffering has come to her, and she sleeps to wake when the Life-giver bids his sleeping saints come forth. At the time of her death Sister Stowell was aged 60 years, 4 months, 18 days. Forty-one years of her life she spent by the side of her husband as a faithful and devoted wife. She rejoiced to the end in the hope of the soon coming of Christ. Her husband and five daughters survive her, but they mourn not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, Jan. 1, 1900, from Rev. 14:13. F. M. Burr.

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE BULLETIN.

By L. A. Hoopes

Many of the subscribers to the General Conference Bulletin have changed their addresses since sending in their subscriptions. Different postmasters have notified us of some changes but they do not always have the correct addresses, and there are doubtless many other changes have not been reported to us. So we ask all subscribers of the General Conference Bulletin who have recently changed their addresses to send us at once their change of post-office address, being sure in each case to give the old as well as the new address.

The price of the paper from now until the close of the year is fifteen cents. This also includes the last two issues during 1899. Send all subscriptions to this Office. If sent to our tract societies, and forwarded by them to this Office, there is extra expense on their part to send the orders, and additional expense for billing; and since the amount is so small, it seems much better that all subscriptions be sent direct to the General Conference Bulletin, Battle Creek, Mich. L. A. HOOPES.

Looking Unto Jesus,

By Uriah Smith

or Christ in Type and Antitype.

By URIAH SMITH.

In a very short time you will be studying the ninth chapter of Daniel, and then you will need a thorough understanding of the sanctuary question.

In no other work is this subject so fully and beautifully treated as in "LOOKING UNTO JESUS." For our consideration the author presents Christ as Creator; Christ as Redeemer; Christ as High Priest, interceding for us; Christ in his infinite sacrifice for sinners, and his subsequent work in heaven, down through the cleansing of the sanctuary, or investigative judgment, and the last plagues, till the time when he lays aside his priestly robes for the garments of the King of kings.

300 PAGES. FINE ILLUSTRATIONS.

Plain edition, bound in buckram, cover design in four colors, plain edges, price, $1.00

Presentation edition, back and cover design stamped in gilt, beveled boards, gilt edges, price, 1.50

Tobacco Stand Planned for Woman's Temple

By Editor

The following dispatch from Chicago to the New York Tribune tells a sad tale:—

CHICAGO, JANUARY 15 (Special).—Within a few days cigars and tobacco will be on sale in the rotunda of the Woman’s Temple, at La Salle and Monroe streets. A tobacco stand is now under process of construction, and on its completion all the hopes of the founders of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union to keep the building free from the taint of tobacco will have vanished in thin air. This is one of the first changes that denote the passing of the building from the control of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. It is not improbable that later on a buffet will invade the sacred precincts of the building. Within another year a still greater change is contemplated, by which Willard Hall will pass out of existence, and the rostrum, which was consecrated by Miss Willard to the cause of temperance, will make room for the counters of a bank.

We hope it is not true; but if it must be so, we can all rejoice that the third angel’s message was preached in Willard Hall before it ceased to exist. And those friends of the message who last year contributed their money and prayers to that enterprise can rejoice that they had a part in that best of all uses of that hall.

Overworked Phrases Along the Line

Who has not been afflicted with that fad of the meaningless phrase, “along the line,” “along the lines,” etc., etc., etc., ad nauseam? Just when we had determined to issue a “counterblast to” it, there came to our table the December number (1899) of Learning by Doing, which has done the work so well that all we need to do is merely to quote:— “Along the line,” “along these lines,” “on this line,” “upon those lines,” “along that line,” “in the line of,”—it seems to us that we have heard these phrases somewhere. In fact, they are beginning to form a cobweb across our mental vision, of lines upon lines—geometrical, hypothetical, hyperbolical; lines straight, lines crooked, lines criss-cross, superimposed, produced, projected, and proposed; bee lines, side lines, boundary lines, clotheslines. O brethren of the fountain pen, let us go to! Are there not other things than lines? Why not harness up the plane, or the angle, or the circle, or the parallelopipedon; and turn the poor “line” out to grass for a while? Won’t you please think of this suggestion “along these lines”?

Rome’s Claimed Rights of Conscience

THE Independent of January 4 reports that “the Sacred Heart Review, an able and influential Catholic paper in Boston, owned and edited by priests,” “declares that Catholics must organize so that they can throw the solid strength of twelve million people against any infraction of their rights of conscience.” And “their rights of conscience,” which they propose thus to enforce, are the receiving by the Catholic Church of money from the national treasury in support of Catholic Indian schools, and the exclusion from Porto Rico of the American free public school. And the Independent says that the denial of money from the national treasury to support those Catholic Church Indian schools, and the proposal to start free public schools in Porto Rico, are “the two most serious” “infractions of their rights of conscience” that are named by the Sacred Heart Review. But it was always so, anything that does not please Rome is an infraction of her “rights of conscience.”

IN advocating Sunday closing in Chicago, the Northwestern Christian Advocate says: “While regard for God’s authority is, of course, the highest motive for human respect for the Sabbath, we are quite willing that lower secular motives shall operate among those whose views of right and wrong generally are of the earth earthy.” Christ never taught any such doctrine. He says, “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt.” No criss-crossing can ever answer. And any willingness to criss-cross betrays such a lack of discernment of Christian principle that what is passed as regard for God’s authority is not true regard.

Another Peace Conference

THE Baltimore American remarks, that, “judging from the present results, another peace conference would about embroil the universe.”

The Gospel of the Kingdom

By Editor

WE have some studies on “The Gospel of the Kingdom” based on the book of Daniel, by Brother W. W. Prescott, which we shall begin to print February 13. They are the best that we have ever seen on the subject.

The Training School Advocate Enlarged

In its work of last year the Training School Advocate was received with so much favor as to call for enlargement at the entering on its second year. The first number of 1900, Vol. II, No 1, is out, with a page just twice as large as before, and thirty-two pages. And the matter is excellent. It is now a handsome journal.

Articles on Japan

By Editor

WE have from a brother in Japan two excellent articles relating to Japan, her ambition and the prospect, in the world's affairs and a world's religion, which we shall print in two numbers of the REVIEW—February 6 and 13. Do not let your subscription expire so that you will miss these: you can not afford to miss them.

Anti-British Feeling

A WRITER in Harper’s Weekly, speaking of the British Empire, says that “the exultation and derision in the Continental capitals and press over Great Britain’s reverses in South Africa are no revelation to the well-informed; but only confirm extended observation as to anti-British feeling.” “And the nations were angry.” Rev. 11:18.

The United States and the Open Door

A FEW days ago the Secretary of Agriculture, speaking of this nation’s “demand” of the powers with regard to the “open door” in China, said: “A year ago no nation would have listened to a proposition of this kind. But the whole world listens to the United States now.” This is most rapid progress. It is true that hours now count more than years used to.

Russia and Japan Facing War

LIEUTENANT ROMANOFF, of the Imperial Russian navy, arrived at Chicago, January 18, and in an interview said: “War between Russia and Japan is looked for as inevitable by the naval officers of those countries who have been nearest the probable scene of future operations. Just how soon such a war may begin, it is difficult to say, but events little short of miraculous must occur to avert it. The Japanese are building war-ships as rapidly as possible, in anticipation of the outbreak of hostilities, and Russia is strengthening her navy as fast as she can. European war will follow the outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Japan.”

NEXT WEEK

By Editor

we shall reprint the first of the articles on The Third Angel’s Message: we shall have to, though we are glad to, do this to supply the call for extra copies of that number. Also

NEXT WEEK

By Editor

in the article on “The Third Angel’s Message: What Is It?” the study will be “What Is It?” as to Babylon and her fall. There will be more than one study on this division of the great subject of the Third Angel’s Message. These coming studies of what is that message as to Babylon and her fall, will be of great importance to all people. Have you not a neighbor or a friend whom you would very much like to have read these coming studies? Can you not ask him to subscribe for a year ($1.50), for six months (75 cents), for four months (50 cents), or for two months (25 cents), or even for only a month (15 cents)? And if circumstances are such that you can not get his subscription, can not you get him to agree to read the paper, and then you invest fifteen or twenty-five cents in him, or in the truth to him? Try it.

Drowning of Elsie May Gates

From Brother E. H. Gates we have received a note giving some of the sorrowful particulars of the drowning of his sister, Elsie May, at Coorangbong, Dec. 3, 1899. She arrived at Sydney with Brother Gates’s family, November 25, on her forty-seventh birthday. Eight days afterward she and Sister Peck and Sister Ella Boyd were out driving in a buggy on the Avondale estate. The horse backed the vehicle into the creek, Miss Gates and the animal being drowned. Her body was recovered shortly after the accident in about ten feet of water; and from careful medical examination it was concluded that Sister Gates must, by some means, have been killed before being thrown into the water. Sister Boyd was also thrown into the creek, but was safely rescued.
