WORDS TO MINISTERS
Earlier text: PORTO RICO AS A MISSION FIELD

AN ADMIRABLE MISSIONARY EFFORT.

By David Paulson

The ideal missionary effort that has been begun at Berrien Springs, Mich., by our educational brethren, for the citizens of that village, deserves more than a passing notice. When the teachers arrived there last summer, they found that old prejudices were lurking in the minds of some of the citizens, which led them to secure a large number of tracts, written by some of our enemies. These tracts were distributed with the evident idea of crippling the influence of our brethren who are disseminating the truth.
These teachers exercised sufficient tact to avoid any spirit of controversy, and began to devise plans whereby they could come close to the people and help them in every way possible. They sought to make friends, and yet not compromise principle in the least.
Mrs. Sutherland, Miss DeGraw, and others attended the meetings of the local W. C. T. U., and soon several of their meetings were held in Professor Sutherland’s home. Sunday evening lectures were begun on various practical subjects. These were followed with Bible studies in private homes.
The consistent attitude that our brethren have maintained has almost completely disarmed prejudice, and they are now having a wonderful opportunity to reach the people in a manner that cannot fail to produce fruit for the kingdom of God.
The W. C. T. U. recently invited me to give them a lecture on “How to Preserve the Rising Generation from the Curse of the Liquor Traffic.” The college chapel was crowded to the very doors with as intelligent and appreciative an audience as it has ever been my privilege to address.
God has made this people the custodians of important truths, and there are those in other churches, and some in no church at all, to whom these truths will seem just as precious as they do to us. Some of these will perhaps make far greater use of these truths than we have; but we must endeavor to reach such people as their friends, rather than as instructors. People do not like to be made to feel at every turn that we “have the truth,” when, perhaps, they have walked more faithfully in the light they have than we in that which God has committed to us. Therefore in His sight, perhaps they really have a better standing than we.
Our churches in general do not have the talent in their midst that is represented in the Berrien Springs company; but every body of believers can certainly determine properly to represent the fragrance of this truth by being the most neighborly and helpful people in the community; and when God sees that we are fully resolved to arise and shine, then He will roll away the reproach, and give us such opportunities to reach humanity as we hardly dare expect.
A good beginning has been made in the school work at Berrien Springs. This is a quiet, wholesome place, with abundant opportunities for combining industrial work with the regular school study. The students who are there now are having excellent opportunities to share some of the difficulties that are necessarily incident to pioneer work, but those will only help to make them all the more valiant workers when they must meet a larger amount of similar difficulties in opening up work in new places, particularly in our large cities.
The world sadly needs the blessed ministry that strong young men and women can perform, and we trust that Emmanuel College may not only continue to be a light for that entire community, but may be a place where hundreds of our young men and women may receive the anointing from on high that shall fit them to become “fishers of men.”
DAVID PAULSON.

MISSOURI

By W. S. Cruzan

The time between the Poplar Bluff camp-meeting and the Conference at Utica I spent in visiting the churches' and companies in southern and eastern Missouri. November 6-11 was spent at Sabula. The word spoken was appreciated by the brethren, and seemed to give them new courage. November 12-14 was spent with the little company at Glen Allen; and as there had been but little preaching at this place by our people for some time, the brethren and sisters seemed hungry for the words of truth.
At St. Louis I held three services with the church, November 15-18. We enjoyed God's blessing in our services. The St. Louis church has not been able to do the work that it should for the lack of a proper place in which to meet, but the Lord has blessed them in giving them a suitable place of worship of their own, near the corner of Delmar and Newstead Avenues.
The brethren at Rolla and vicinity were visited November 20-28. Three services were held with the Springfield church, November 29 to December 1. Of late the Lord has been blessing this church through the labors of Brother D. P. Zeigler; and it is rising to “higher ground.” They now have a house of their own in which to worship.
The week of prayer was spent with the church at Mt. View. Two services were held each day, and were fairly attended, considering the extremely cold weather. The week of prayer services were a great blessing to all. Three united with the church.

LYNCHBURG, BUENA VISTA.—For several weeks I have been laboring in Lynchburg, Va., and find plenty to do. I am enjoying the blessing of God while visiting the isolated Sabbath-keepers in the city and surrounding country, and others who were once interested in the truth. I have held regular meetings every night, most of the time in a private house, and there are openings for meetings in a chapel in another part of the city, as well as at several other places, which I will fill as fast as I can. Two have been added to our number as a result of the work so far, and we have hope for others. We expect to see a church organized here in the near future. We have already started the Sabbath-school work. The people are so scattered that it is hard to get all together regularly. I am doing all I can in house-to-house work, and have many opportunities for visiting and giving Bible readings. I am also selling “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and the Lord gives some sweet experiences in this good work. Quarterly meeting was held at Buena Vista the first Sabbath and Sunday in this month, and the Lord gave us an excellent meeting. The attendance was the largest I have ever seen at that place. All seemed deeply interested in the truth. I hope more work can be done there soon. Pray for the work in this part of the field. B. F. PURDHAM.

INDIANA

By I. G. Bigelow

NEW ALBANY.—The writer has recently begun labor in this place. Some good work has been done in the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” and small books; many papers have also been distributed. As we go from house to house, we find many who would like to buy our literature, but are too poor to do so. Brethren, shall we leave these people to starve for the truth?
The following extracts are from a letter received from a brother in Colorado. After informing us that he had a number of friends here whom he wished us to visit, he says: “I love the truth, and want to do all I can to give it to others. I have a lot of papers, also some books, which, if you can use, I will send. . . . I am enjoying the truth these books contain, and wish to pass it on to others.” This is missionary work.
Are there others who have friends here whom they would like to have us visit? Do not some of the brethren have books and tracts laid away that, if put into use, would save souls? How many who read these lines are longing to work in missionary fields or do something for the Master? To all such I would say, If you cannot leave home to labor for others, and have books, tracts, or papers that you are not using in your home field, send them to us, and we will place them where they will do good. This is a new field, and needs your aid. Please prepay all charges, as we cannot meet any extra expense.

Reform.

THERE are some things practiced among us which ought not so to be, and I wish to call attention to one or two, and ask our brethren to consider them.
It is quite common in organizing new churches to take in any Sabbath-keepers there, or adjacent to the place of organization, regardless of any previous membership or letters of recommendation. It should be evident to any one that before individuals are received into the church, new or old, those in charge should ascertain whether they are members elsewhere, and if so, letters of recommendation should be produced. I now have in mind a sister who was taken into a newly organized church without word or comment, who still holds her membership at another place. She is in good standing, but she should not hold her membership in two churches at the same time.
The Lord tells us that we should not be slothful in business. Another common thing is for some leader, board, or teacher desiring a certain laborer from some other State, to write directly to the individual and get him or her, as the case may be, all stirred up over the matter, perhaps, before saying or writing anything to the president of the Conference regarding the matter.
If any State Conference or Union Conference desires a laborer from any other Conference, the president of the Conference should be interviewed before anything is said or written to the individual. It is self-evident that this is the proper method to pursue, but it is a lamentable fact that this method is often reversed. Why not reform in this as well as in other things? Why not be reformers in deed and in truth? Why not be right, and do right, and be keepers of the golden rule? Why not?

SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENCE.

CHURCH-SCHOOL TEACHERS will find invaluable aid in their science teaching in the new book on the subject of Biblical Science just issued by the Review and Herald Press. It lays the foundation principles of science and shows their sure anchorage in the Word of God. It shows the false science that has crept into our geographies, astronomies, and physics, as they are usually taught.
Those who have young people in their schools, just beginning the study of science, would do well to use this as a text-book to show them the respective fields which science and the Bible occupy, and also, to teach them the truth and the untruth of scientific treatise.
If they have students well advanced in science, a few weeks’ study of this book will open their understanding to many things they hardly expected were as they are.
This book will give an enlivened faith in the Word of God; it will sanctify your science, and thus help to save your soul. It is worth your investigation.
PRICE, 75 CENTS, POSTPAID.

Marshaling of the Nations.

By Alonzo T. Jones

By Alonzo T. Jones.
This pamphlet briefly outlines the course of Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece: treats of the division of the Roman Empire into the ten kingdoms, and from these the gradual development of the great powers of to-day, and accounts for their strategical position on the map of the world, and their rôle in the Eastern Question, and the dismemberment of Turkey, and notices the rise of the United States as a prophetical nation. The part that each government is to act in the last great conflict is tersely considered, and the whole is calculated to give a general idea of the part each nation is to act in fulfilling prophecy.

Caviness to Write Series on Mexico

BROTHER GEORGE W. CAVINESS, editor of our Spanish paper El Mensajero de la Verdad, published in Mexico City, writes us, under date of the 13th inst., that he is preparing a series of articles on Mexico, for the REVIEW. He says: “Brother Bodwell’s letter of a few weeks ago, published in the REVIEW, has caused us to be flooded with letters and questions about the country and its opportunities for missionary and other work. We will try to answer the most important of these questions through the REVIEW.” We are sure these articles will be of interest to every reader.
OUR medical missionary workers in Chicago have now secured pleasant and well-equipped quarters for their work, on the corner of Thirty-third Place and Cottage Grove Avenue. The work formerly carried on at 1926 Wabash Ave. is now transferred to the new headquarters, which are comfortably fitted up for all classes of medical and surgical work.

Notice to Stockholders.

By C. D. Rhodes

We would call the attention of the stockholders of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association to the notice in this paper of the annual meeting which is to be held February 11. We wish that every stockholder might be present, as many matters of interest in relation to this work will undoubtedly come up. If, however, you live too far away, or other difficulties prevent your coming, we would request that you have your stock represented by proxy through some individual who will attend the meeting. The only persons who we know will certainly be here, and who are generally known throughout the denomination, are A. G. Daniels, W. W. Prescott, W. A. Spicer, I. H. Evans, Uriah Smith, G. W. Amadon, and S. H. Lane. Some of you will undoubtedly know of others who will be present, and we trust you will take the time to arrange for your representation at the meeting. All proxies which were filled out last year were good only for that year, so it will be necessary to fill out a new blank for this meeting. Write to the undersigned for blanks, and they will be mailed to you at once. We would also request that you return them promptly, so that your representative may be properly credited with your shares, and thus avoid any delay after the session begins.

Meeting at Sanitarium.

By Uriah Smith

IT was our privilege to attend meeting, Sabbath January 18, at the Sanitarium chapel, and listen to Brother Stucker, the revival evangelist who has been holding union services in Battle Creek for about two weeks. The chapel was soon filled, and the adjoining gymnasium provided seats for the overflow, till it constituted a large congregation, composed mostly of helpers and patients connected with the Sanitarium. The speaker dealt with his congregation apart from his usual services in town under the conviction that, judging from their situation and surroundings, many of them were laboring under bodily infirmities, and perhaps some of them under feelings of loneliness and discouragement. His desire was to speak words of good cheer and comfort to such; and to this end he could make no better selection than the twenty-third Psalm. This scripture he accordingly expounded in full, not only in its general relation to the whole book of Psalms, but sentence by sentence, to bring out the beauties couched in the language, and reveal the beauty and fragrance of its wonderful flowers. It was a feast of fat things; and we feel safe in saying, in behalf of all who listened, that not one went away without feeling refreshed and encouraged with a view of the storehouse of comfort for them found in the word of God.

Our Mighty Weapons.

By A. J. B.

ELDER A. G. DANIELLS occupied the Tabernacle pulpit, Sabbath, January 18, taking as his text Zech. 4:6: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” The speaker emphasized the fact that the final triumph of the work of God upon earth will be brought about not by temporal means, but by the Spirit of God.
Physical power, attainments, culture,—all carnal methods will fail to accomplish the desired result. “Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!” Isa. 31:1. Those who go down to Egypt for help are those that depend upon the arm of flesh,—upon carnal things. “Thus saith the Lord: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.” Jer. 17:5. “For though we walk in the flesh [and we shall walk in the flesh until Christ comes], we do not war after the flesh (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds); casting down reasonings, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Cor. 10:3–5. The great danger is that we shall substitute the form for the life, the flesh for the Spirit; busy activity for patiently, trustfully waiting before God; a lot of energy and toil and effort for the faith that Jesus says is the work of God. When people came to Jesus and asked Him: “What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?” the Master “answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.” John 6:28, 29. “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” Phil. 2:12, 13. Without the vitalizing touch of the Spirit of God, all our institutions and facilities for work will avail nothing. How shall these agencies be spiritualized? It is impossible to spiritualize the brick and mortar, the presses of our publishing houses, the bath-rooms and dormitories of the sanitariums, the desks of our schools. But it is possible and essential that every man and woman connected with these institutions be spiritualized, vitalized with the life of God.
