Extracts From Articles by Mrs. E. G. White on the Work in Nashville
“During my stay in Nashville, I saw the necessities of the work there, and its great need of help. I visited the sanitarium conducted by Dr. Hayward and Brother Hansen. For several years Brother Hansen has had treatment rooms in Nashville. Recently the Medical Department of the Southern Union Conference purchased his business, and Dr. Hayward, from Graysville, joined Brother Hansen in the work. They have treatment rooms, a health food store, and physician’s offices in a large house in the city. They have also rented a house three miles out of the city for the accommodation of patients and nurses. I visited both these places, and found them full of sick people receiving help.”
“Brethren Hayward and Hansen, with their faithful helpers, are doing their best with the facilities they have, but the inconveniences under which they are at present conducting their work are very trying, and I longed that they might have a larger building, where they could accomplish more with less effort.” — Review and Herald, Aug. 18, 1904.
“A good beginning has been made in the Southern field. In the forward march of events the Lord has wrought most wonderfully for the advancement of his work. Battles have been fought, victories won. Favorable impressions have been made; much prejudice has been removed.”
“As a people we should take a special interest in the work at Nashville. At the present time this city is a point of great importance in the Southern field. Our brethren selected Nashville as a center for the work in the South, because the Lord, in his wisdom, directed them there. It is a favorable place in which to make a beginning.”
“Nashville is within easy access to Graysville and Huntsville. By the work in Nashville, the work in Graysville and Huntsville is to be confirmed and settled.”
“Sanitarium work has already been begun in Nashville. This must be wisely managed and given support. Medical missionary work is indeed a helping hand of the gospel ministry. It opens the way for the entrance of truth.”
“A sanitarium is to be established in Nashville. The site of this institution should not be right in the city, but outside the city limits, where land can be purchased for a reasonable sum. Nashville is to be a center for the work in the South, and a few miles from Nashville a school and a sanitarium should be established.”
“At Nashville, a sanitarium should be established; not an immense building, but one larger than can be established in a smaller place.”
“God has given our sanitariums an opportunity to set in operation a work that would be as a stone instinct with life, growing as it is rolled by an invisible hand. Let this mystic stone be set in motion. If ever a place needed medical missionary work, it is the Southern field. . . . Sanitariums should have been established in many places.”
“The Lord is calling upon his stewards to use their entrusted goods in advancing the work that has been begun in Nashville. Those who have deposited their means in banks, or have invested it in property, are to put into circulation the money God has lent them to be used in his work. Thus their talent of means will be multiplied.”

—A fire at Winnipeg, Manitoba, October 11, destroyed two business blocks, the property loss being about $700,000.
—Three anarchists were arrested near Barcelona, Spain, October 11, on a charge of being implicated in a plot to kill King Alfonso.
—Pope Pius is getting ready for the complete separation of church and state in France, and has started a fund for the support of the French clergy.
—A strike of baggage wagon drivers began in Chicago, October 12, attended by rioting, which required repeated efforts on the part of the police to quell.
—Twelve persons on board the schooner “Wentworth” lost their lives by the wrecking of the vessel on the Massachusetts coast near Chatham during a heavy gale, October 11.
—By the text of a treaty recently concluded between France and Spain, France is recognized as having paramount control in Morocco, and it is agreed there is to be no partition of that country.
—A terrible storm on the coast of Honduras, beginning September 29 and continuing three days, is reported by steamer at New Orleans. Several enormous landslips took place, and much of the banana crop was ruined.
—According to statements made by Judge Parker, Democratic candidate for the presidency, $650,000,000 and 290,000 lives have been sacrificed in maintaining the title of the United States to the Philippine Islands, acquired by the payment of $20,000,000 to Spain.
—“There are 950 miles of oiled roads in California,” says Country Life in America. “This State was the first to make use of crude petroleum oil in road improvement, it having thus far hardly passed beyond the experimental stage elsewhere. It has been, however, a marked success in the West.”
—Arrangements have been made to hold an American Forest Congress in Washington, D. C., for five days, beginning January 2. The congress, it is announced, is called to consider the forests in their relation to the industries closely dependent upon them, and to forward the conservative use of the forest resources of the country.
—A lieutenant in the seventh regiment of the National Guard, at San Diego, Cal., was recently expelled from the Journeymen Plumbers’ Association because he refused to withdraw from the regiment. A rule of the plumbers’ association forbids members to enlist in the National Guard. This is the first case of the kind in California, and is likely to lead to further developments.
—In a speech delivered before the American Street Railway Association at St. Louis, October 13, President Francis, the official head of the World’s Fair, declared that that enterprise had lost at least $1,000,000 by the Sunday closing restriction imposed by Congress at the instigation of the Washington “reform bureau.”
—Residents at Fort Hamilton, Bath Beach, and Bay Ridge, L. I., are apprehensive over the prospective testing of several new sixteen-inch coast defense guns, which have been put in place at Fort Hamilton. The same guns, when tested at Sandy Hook, shook houses for miles inland, shaking down ceilings and damaging windows. The commandant at Fort Hamilton says that he can not assure residents in that vicinity that their property will escape damage.
—The Sunday Rest Congress which has been announced among the conventions to be held at the St. Louis fair began its session at that place, October 13. The following message was drawn up and forwarded to President Roosevelt: “Mr. President: Since reports have come to us and are widely current, that unnecessary work is done in the different departments of the government on the Sabbath, the International Sunday Rest Congress, representing twelve Sabbath associations, ten of them operating in the United States, would respectfully request you to ask the members of your cabinet to investigate this matter, and to rectify this wrong if it exists.”
—Another terrible “World’s Fair Special” wreck occurred October 10, in the early morning, near Warrensburg, Mo., on the Missouri Pacific Railway. A freight train, which had been waiting on a siding for the “special” to pass, which was in two sections, went onto the main line after the first section of the “special” and a local passenger-train had passed, the latter being mistaken for the second section of the “special.” The two trains came together while running at high speed, each having been on a down grade just prior to the collision. Twenty-seven dead bodies were taken from the wreck, and an equal number were seriously hurt, several of them fatally.
—Interest in the Russo-Japanese war the past week has centered in the reports of another great battle between the armies of Field Marshal Oyama and General Kuropatkin, which is described as being even more desperate and sanguinary than that at Liao Yang some weeks ago. The battle began October 9 with a general forward movement by the Russian commander, who either felt strong enough to assume the offensive or had received orders to advance against the enemy. The Japanese lines gave ground during the first two days of the battle, and were forced back for some distance, but on the third day the Japanese commander began a counter-attack, which, according to reports, turned the tide of battle against the Russians, who after nearly a week of almost continuous fighting have been forced back to a position along the Sakhe River, the Japanese forces following in pursuit. One report states that the Russian loss in killed and wounded is 30,000, and that234,500 Russian dead were left in front of General Kuroki’s army alone. The Japanese loss is not given. The Japanese are also reported to have captured about forty cannon, besides other arms and ammunition, and some hundreds of prisoners. Some fighting is reported at Port Arthur, but there seems to be little change in the situation there. The sailing of the Baltic fleet is not yet announced, and it seems not yet certain that the fleet will sail at all.

The Book of Esther
By Stephen N. Haskell
“THE decree which is to go forth against the people of God will be very similar to that issued by Ahasuerus against the Jews in the time of Esther. . . . The Protestant world to-day sees in the little company keeping the Sabbath a Mordecai in the gate.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. V, page 450.
With these statements before us, should we not carefully and prayerfully study the book of Esther? It is as much a book for the last days as Daniel or the Revelation. We need to know more than the simple story contained in the book. We need to make a thorough study of the whole book. It is an object-lesson of what the people of God are to experience in the near future.
In view of the importance of the book of Esther, we have prepared a series of Bible studies on this book, which will be published in The Bible Training School, beginning with the November number.
Four lessons will be given each month, allowing one study for each week in the month. We feel confident that if our fathers and mothers will take time each week to gather their households around them and spend an hour in the prayerful study of these lessons, it will strengthen them for the coming conflict. The lessons will be excellent for Bible reading circles or young people's meetings, or for any one who wishes to gain a knowledge of the valuable instruction contained in the book of Esther.
These lessons will be worth many times the price of The Bible Training School. If you are not already a subscriber to the paper, send 25 cents to The Bible Training School, South Lancaster, Mass., with the request that your year's subscription begin with the November number. The long winter evenings are coming, and God expects you to improve them by becoming better acquainted with his Word. S. N. HASKELL.

Obituaries
Phelps.—Died at Portland, Ore., Sept. 26, 1904, of internal cancer, Casper H. Phelps, aged 52 years, 11 months, and 20 days. For many years he was a resident of Aberdeen, Wash., where he was well and favorably known as Captain Phelps, being a dealer in steam launches. His decline in health began a full year prior to his decease. His devoted companion, Sister L. M. Phelps, deeply mourns the loss of a kind husband. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. G. W. Reaser.
Huntly.—Died at Elk Point, S. D., July 19, 1904, Mrs. Malissa E. Huntly, aged 62 years, 11 months, and 16 days.

She remained faithful to the last, dying in peace and rejoicing in the knowledge of the soon coming of Jesus to gather his people in the resurrection. Two daughters, four sons, and her husband remain to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, in the Baptist church, to a large audience of friends. E. G. Hayes.
Ward.—Died of old age, at his own home near St. Helena Sanitarium, Cal., Sept. 29, 1904, Seth P. Ward, aged 82 years and 27 days. Brother Ward was born in Madison, Maine, and accepted the Seventh-day Adventist faith in 1866. The last nineteen years of his life were spent in California. Brother Ward was ever known as a man of sterling integrity and uprightness, a kind and faithful husband, highly esteemed by all who knew him. He leaves a widow and other relatives to mourn their loss. He fell asleep peacefully, with a good hope of immortality. A large audience listened to words of truth and hope, by the writer. H. A. St. John.
Weldon.—Died at his home at Vineland, N. J., Aug. 24, 1904, William Weldon, aged 58 years, 7 months, and 5 days. Brother Weldon was a faithful member and deacon of the Vineland church for several years, having accepted the third angel's message about eight years ago. August 22 he had a fall from his wagon, the shock causing paralysis, which resulted in his death two days later. He leaves a wife, one son, and one daughter, besides a large number of friends, to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. The one testimony of all was that he was a faithful and consistent Christian. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14: 12-14. Morris Lukens.
Workers Sail for India
Four workers for India sailed from New York on the 15th: H. H. Votaw and wife, of Ohio, and J. C. Little and wife, of the State of Washington. Brother and Sister Votaw were able to pass through Washington on the way to New York, and a little company of workers in the city gathered in the mission rooms to join in commending them to God. During this service Brother Votaw was ordained to the ministry. These workers are sadly needed in India, and we ask all to pray for them as they go, and to remember the needs of all the great mission fields, where the winning conflict is being courageously pressed forward amid great difficulty owing to lack of means and of laborers.

Sabbath-Keepers in Korea Seek Instruction
When the last Japan mail closed, Brother F. W. Field was just leaving for Korea, to visit the district where Sabbath-keepers are calling for instruction and baptism.
The Review in Every Sabbath-Keeper’s Home
Is the REVIEW in the home of every Sabbath-keeper in your church? Will you not take an active part in this effort in behalf of our church paper? Please read the suggestions on the second page.
Collection for Colored Work
It was recommended by the General Conference Committee Council at College View, Neb., that a general collection be taken in all the churches in this country on Sabbath, November 5, for the benefit of the colored work in the South. Read Brother Butler’s article on page 6, and plan accordingly.
Sabbath Readings for October 29
THE readings prepared for use on this Sabbath, October 29, are printed in this issue of the REVIEW, beginning on page 8. Those who read and study them in their homes will be the better prepared to consider profitably the topics as they are taken up at the time designated. The isolated Sabbath-keepers will also be able to join their brethren and sisters in the consideration of these themes.
Corn Harvested Near Nashville
WE are indebted to Elder S. N. Haskell for samples of corn harvested on the farm near Nashville, Tenn., purchased by Brethren Magan and Sutherland for industrial school purposes. This corn reminds us of that which Pharaoh saw in his dream, “seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good.” We hope there may come more than “seven years of great plenty” in the experience of those who till this soil in the interest of the Lord’s work.
K. C. Russell to Lead Religious Liberty Department
The General Conference Committee at College View invited Elder K. C. Russell, of Massachusetts, to take the chairmanship of the Religious Liberty Department. He has accepted the call, and will give his undivided attention to this work. The former chairman, Brother Allen Moon, on account of responsibilities as president of the Lake Union Conference, felt it best to resign, urging the council to select some one who could devote his entire time to this very important work.
The Sixtieth Anniversary of 1844
NEXT Sabbath, October 22, is the sixtieth anniversary of the passing of the time on the tenth day of the seventh month in 1844. There are many still living who vividly remember the experiences of that period, and who can testify that they were sweet at the first, but bitter at the end. The work of prophesying again “before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings” is now being carried forward; and when this work is completed, the waiting and working ones will realize the consummation of all that was expected sixty years ago,—“the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” “Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. . . . For yet a very little while, he that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.”
Special Request
WE are asked to request that no correspondence from any of our offices or from individuals be addressed to Brethren Baharian, Buzugherian, or Ayyazian, of Turkey, as such letters would fall into the hands of officials, these brethren being in prison.
For the Manitoba School
By W. A. Spicer
The West Michigan Conference has donated one hundred copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” for the Manitoba school enterprise. It is a gift that our Manitoba brethren will appreciate; for they desire to begin the work of selling the books at once, in order to raise funds for their school, which they hope to open in November. While individuals are responding to the appeal which Brother Evans has written in another column, it may be some other conference will wish to follow West Michigan’s prompt and good example. If so, we shall be glad to hear.
W. A. Spicer, Secretary.
Washington, D. C.
By J. S. Washburn
The work on the buildings of the Washington Training-school is going forward in a very encouraging manner. We shall be able to publish photographs of these buildings in a short time.
The tent-meetings conducted by Elder George B. Thompson and Brethren Curtis, Skinner, and Hankins, from Iowa, closed Sunday night, October 9. The attendance and interest were excellent. Quite a number have accepted the truth since these meetings began; and others are deeply interested, and these friends who are interested will have the opportunity of studying the Bible with our workers.
Two baptisms have recently been held in the Memorial church. On a recent Sabbath the M Street church listened with deep interest to a discourse given by Brother Spicer on his work in foreign lands during his recent visit to the European fields. New hope and courage are coming into the hearts of our people in every land. The Lord truly is strengthening the weak hands, and confirming the feeble knees, and saying to them of a fearful heart, “Be strong, fear not; behold your God will come.” Isa. 35: 3, 4.
As will be seen by the published list on page 22, the Washington building fund has now reached the amount of $41,087.53. The continued and systematic effort that is being made by our people to establish these institutions free of debt fills our hearts with courage and hope. As was stated in last week’s Review, it is deeply interesting to note that many who are not Seventh-day Adventists seem rejoiced in the opportunity of helping in this work.
