Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”—Rev.
Died of inflammation of the brain, in South Boston, Mass., 1885, Gordon C., son of George and Grace Hudson, aged 3 months. A. T. Robinson.
Died of paralysis, March 28, 1885, Bro. J. Q. Kennedy, who accepted the Sabbath and kindred truths last July while the tent was held in Neosho Co., Kan. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn. G. W. White.
Died of old age at her son’s home at North Gouverneur, Feb. 27, 1885, Acha Fuller, aged 89 years. Sr. Fuller was a firm Christian, and a member of the church at Gouverneur. She was first called to the keeping of the Sabbath by the labors of Eld. A. H. Hall. Previous to her death she suffered little pain, and went down to the grave as a sheaf of ripened grain in its season. Sermon by Eld. Jones (Baptist). H. H. Wilcox.
Died of pneumonia, in the township of Etna, Mecosta Co., Jan. 20, 1885, Martin A. Brigham, aged 48 years, 8 months, 10 days. Bro. Brigham believed and loved the present truth. His life not only bore this testimony concerning him, but they considered him a strictly honest man. As the friends failed to obtain ministers at the time of his death, the funeral discourse was omitted. On March 24, we tried to give the “reason of our hope in Christ,” from Acts 24:15. E. Van Deusen.
Died in Wabash, Minn., April 6, 1885, Mary E. Battin, aged 68 years. She was confined to her bed but ten days, though she had been feeble in health for years, and was a great sufferer. The hope was precious to her, and helped her to bear her sufferings. Some time she was aware that her life would soon close. A few hours before she died she greeted her friends with a smile, and kind words to each of them. Her last request was that her children might be brought up to love God, and to keep the Sabbath, and the truth was precious to her. We lay her away to sleep a little while the Lifegiver shall come to take his children home. Funeral by Eld. Royse (Methodist). ALFRED BATTIN.
Died April 4, 1885, Elizabeth Stranahan, aged 79 years. [She] embraced Christianity in early youth, lived a Presbyterian over [??], and was baptized into the Adventist church sixteen years ago. She had suffered much with rheumatism during the past five months previous to her death, and was an extreme sufferer, entirely helpless. Her hope was in the coming of Jesus, to whom she looked with joy and fervent trust. Remarks by the writer from John 14:1-3, to a large concourse of sympathizing friends. She sleeps in Jesus. I. McCoy.
Died of old age and dropsy of the heart, at her home in [??], Tenn., Mrs. Nancy Crusan, aged 76 years and 11 months, the wife of Andrew Crusan, late of Indiana. She was born [??]burg, Pa. At the age of thirteen she emigrated to Mansfield, [Ohio?], and afterward removed to Indiana. She united with the Christian church in 1833. She was a faithful, loving wife, a kind and affectionate mother. She leaves an aged husband and eight children to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, to a large congregation of sympathizing friends and neighbors at the home of the deceased, from Matt. 5:7-9 and Rev. 14:13. P. D. Moyers.
Died of paralysis, April 9, 1885, at our home in Great Valley, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y., Mrs. Charlotte Hills, in the 79th year of her age. She accepted the third angel’s message in the West about [??] years ago, and we trust she has fallen asleep in Jesus. Discourse by the writer from 1 Cor. 15:51. D. A. Ball.
Died of consumption in Inlay, Mich., Feb. 14, 1885, Ira Kirtland, aged 26 years, 1 month, and 16 days. He died in the first resurrection. Funeral services at Webster’s school Monday, Feb. 16, conducted by Rev. E. Steel, from Rom. [??].
Died of consumption, at Weldon Creek, Mason Co., Mich., Belle, oldest daughter of John J. and Helen M. Gilding, aged 8 months, and 24 days. She was an example of patience to all who saw her during a long and weary sickness. We mourn not as those who have no hope. We laid our dear one away to rest until Jesus shall come, when, if faithful, we hope to meet her in heaven. Words of consolation at the funeral were spoken by [??] (Congregationalist). H. M. Gilding.
Died in St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 7, 1885, Gertie, infant daughter of David and Lucy McCourt. G. G. Tenney.

TENTS FOR THE KANSAS CAMP-MEETING.

By J. H.

The Conference have a few tents they can rent for this meeting. Persons desiring to rent them should apply at once. We hope our brethren will bring all the tents they have. It will be much more quiet in them than in the large buildings, where so many are together. So bring all your tents, and if you prefer the large buildings for shelter, some one else will be glad to get your tent. J. H.

THE EASTERN OUTLOOK.

In an article headed, “Will England Defend India?” the Independent of April 23 says:—
“If M. de Giers has any sense of humor he must be amused at the energy displayed by Mr. Gladstone, not in calling Russia to account for a gross and palpable violation of the conditions of peace, but in trying to find out whether the hand that dealt the blow at Penjdeh was a left or a right hand, a closed or an open hand. His curiosity will probably be satisfied shortly with a coup de main; for it is plain to everybody but the British Premier that Russia means to have Herat.”
Once in possession of Herat, Russia holds the key to the overland route from Europe to India; and the question for England to decide is simply whether she will check and hold the Russian power where it is, with the aid of the friendly alliance of the semi-civilized Afghans, or fight her under vastly more disadvantageous circumstances on the very border of her Indian empire. Russia is sacredly cherishing an inflexible purpose to reach India through Asia, as well as to gain possession of Constantinople; and the autocrat of eighty millions of people, possessing a vast though compact empire within striking distance of both points, is not easily to be restrained from his purpose. There are in the impending conflict all the necessary elements for the last great predicted political revolution in which the nations shall be dashed to pieces in the battle of the great day.

WANING POWER.

Not only in the Old World, but in some portions of the New, the prophecy respecting the waning power of the papacy just before the end, is meeting its fulfillment in a very striking manner. While according to the prophecy respecting our own government, papal influence is here to increase till there is some degree of collision between it and this nation which is to go so far as to make an image to it; in other portions of the western hemisphere, the case is very different. The New York Herald points out the fact that the bonds between the Vatican and almost every Spanish American nation in both North and South America, are greatly loosened. In Uruguay several ecclesiastics have been arrested on account of conflict with the government on the civil marriage laws. In the Argentine Republic, the Papal Legate has been banished; trouble,—the public school system. In Chili the Papal Nuncio has been expelled, and it is proposed to disestablish the Church; trouble,—a bitter contest over the civil marriage question. In Ecuador there is conflict between the Church and government over the tithing question. In Venezuela the civil power has been put in complete ascendency over that of the Church. And in Mexico the government has confiscated Church property. Thus it seems that the hold of the Romish Church on the governments in this part of the world which have heretofore been completely under its control is greatly loosened, and the loosening process is rapidly going forward.

SEND MONEY TO THE REVIEW AND HERALD.

By George I. Butler

Do not send it to the address of private parties. We speak of money which is to go to any of our funds, or for the REVIEW or any one of our periodicals published at this Office. Parties sending money to the General Conference fund, or other funds, sometimes send to me personally. I am liable to be away from the Office, and the letter may be mislaid, and it often causes much trouble. Send all money for our public funds coming to Battle Creek, to REVIEW AND HERALD. It is much safer than to send to private parties. GEO. I. BUTLER.

NEW ENGLAND, TAKE NOTICE.

By D. A. Robinson

In the REVIEW of April 14, the readers interested in our coming general meeting no doubt noticed that the time for that meeting was put a week later than what it was given in the REVIEW of March 24. What we wish to say is, the appointment will stand as first given. The general meeting will commence Friday, May 8, and close Tuesday, May 12.
D. A. ROBINSON.

OHIO STATE DEPOSITORY.

By Ida Gates

According to the resolution passed at our late State meeting, that the State depository be moved to Columbus, Ohio, we would request that hereafter all communications to the State secretary be directed to Columbus, Ohio, instead of Clyde.

THE WISCONSIN CAMP-MEETING.

By G. I. B.

This camp-meeting will be held at Tomah, June 11-16, coming in between the Pennsylvania and the Minnesota meetings. G. I. B.

CAMP-MEETING AT BATTLE CREEK, IOWA.

By O. A. Olsen

It has been decided to have a general gathering in the form of a camp-meeting in Western Iowa, commencing the evening of May 28. We expect that there will be quite a gathering from all parts accessible to that meeting. Arrangements will be made to provide for all who come, tent room, and other accommodations usually furnished at a camp-meeting. The meeting will be one of much interest, and we expect there will be a special effort made to attend. Those who wish to rent tents, will please write at once to Lizzie H. Farnsworth, State Center, Iowa, so that we can know how many tents to ship to the place of the encampment. O. A. OLSEN,

KANSAS CAMP-MEETING.

By J. H. Cook

MINISTERS, colporters, and canvassers who have been in the special employ of the Conference, please make out their accounts, stating place, amount of time thus employed, and their regular expenses. We wish to have these at the commencement of the meeting. If you cannot be there in person at the commencement, make out your report in full, and send them by mail to the writer. Lawrence, Kan. J. H. COOK.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

By J. H. Cook

ALL our churches will please elect their delegates at once to attend the Kansas Conference to be at Bismarck, May 20-27. Each church of 50 members or less is entitled to one delegate, additional delegate for each fifteen additional members. Each delegate should bring to the State Secretary a written report from the church clerk, giving the standing of the church, the number of members of the church, Sabbath-school, and missionary society, the number of additions and losses, amount of tithes paid during the last Conference. Don't forget this.
J. H. Cook, Pres. Kan.

A WORD FOR THE COLLEGE.

It has been my privilege, with scores of, for the last twenty-two weeks, to enjoy the benefits to be derived from this important institution. As we reflect on the recent past, surely we have much for which to praise the Lord. Our instructors have been those who love God, and seem to have the cause at heart. Especially do we feel grateful for the knowledge we have received, during three weeks, from those who have had long experience in the work. Surely none of us who have listened to the earnest appeals of God’s servants and laborers in the cause, can feel satisfied to sit still and do nothing.
We have received many blessings here. The teachers have labored hard to give us the necessary discipline of which we stood in need. Many of us shall leave to go to our various fields of labor; shall it not be in the fear of God, that we be light-bearers to those who are sitting in darkness? Let us not forget to do what we can in behalf of the College. May God bless this institution and all connected with it.

OUR COUNTRY'S FUTURE

By Uriah Smith

—OR—

THE UNITED STATES IN PROPHECY

BY URIAH SMITH.
THIS is a full exposition of Scriptures which quite evidently apply to our own Government, showing the position the United States holds on the prophetic page, and the part it has in the closing scenes of time. THE SUNDAY MOVEMENT, which is attracting such general attention, is thoroughly discussed; abundant testimony is given to prove that it is fast approaching the ALL-IMPORTANT QUESTION in this country. Facts and arguments are largely presented, showing in the most conclusive manner that this Government is the power pointed out in the 13th chapter of the Apocalypse.
