THE JOY OF GIVING
Earlier text: A STUDY IN MINERALS

OUR WORK AND WORKERS.

AN attendance of 160 is the present report of Walla Walla (Wash.) College.
A SABBATH-SCHOOL has been organized with eighteen members at Portsmouth, Ohio.
A CANVASSER'S school is to be held at Marshalltown, Iowa, February 4 to March 30.
TWO MORE of the students of the Anglo-Chinese Academy at Honolulu have asked for baptism.
A CANVASSERS' institute will be held at Newberg, Oregon, February 17 to 27, to be conducted by Brother S. C. Osborne.
THE church in London, Ont., is erecting a house of worship, which they hope will give a new impetus to the work in that city.
SABBATH, December 28, twenty-three persons were baptized at College Place, Wash., and six more were baptized on the following Sabbath.
THE first seventh-day Adventist church in San Benito County, Cal., was organized at Tres Pinos recently. Brother C. N. Miller and wife are laboring in that community.
THE Atlantic Union Conference has started a neat and interesting organ, entitled Atlantic Union Gleaner. It is issued weekly, from South Lancaster, Mass., at fifty cents a year.
THE Canadian field has been organized into a union conference, with Brother W. H. Thurston as president; J. W. Collie, vice-president, and Carroll Drown, secretary, treasurer, and auditor.
FROM a report of Brethren J. W. Bagby and F. D. Gautereau, in the Recorder, we learn that on the 21st ult. five persons were received into the church at Laton, Cal., making thirteen that had been added recently.
REPORTING to the Bulletin, Brother G. W. Anglebarger notes as results of labor at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that twelve persons had recently united with the church, and two others had made application for membership.
BROTHER P. L. HOEN, who has been canvassing in Story County, Iowa, says he called on one of his neighbors one Sunday, and sold him eleven books, four of which were "Christ's Object Lessons" to send to his relatives.
NEW JERSEY Conference, recently organized, reports the following officers: President, J. E. Jayne; vice-president, C. H. Keslake; secretary and treasurer, J. W. Rambo; secretary of Educational Department, Mrs. J. W. Rambo.
A REPORT to the Pacific Union Recorder by Brother H. J. Schneffer mentions the addition of three to the church at Eugene, Oregon, and six to the church at Blachly. Of these accessions eight were by baptism and one by confession.
THE Keystone Gleaner says that the Southern field is making inroads on Pennsylvania's force of canvassers. It speaks well for a conference when it is able to supply trained laborers to needy fields. That is as it should be in all the old conferences.
ON a recent trip in Northern India, Brother J. L. Shaw learned of several persons keeping the Sabbath of the Lord whose names he had never heard before, and some were awaiting opportunity to be baptized. A man and his wife had been awaiting such opportunity for two years.
FOLLOWING are the officers of the newly organized Greater New York Conference: President, H. W. Cottrell; vice-president, S. N. Haskell; secretary, A. B. Smith; treasurer, S. N. Curtiss. Brother Cottrell takes the office temporarily, as he is already president of Atlantic Union Conference.
A BROTHER in Halfway, Oregon, recently wrote to the upper Columbia Tract Society for twenty copies of the SIGNS for three months, and later for twenty copies of Our Little Friend, all to be used in Sunday-school work. The Reaper suggests that “many others might do well to follow his example.”
ANY blind person who has not had opportunity to attend school can be instructed by mail, and after instruction will receive a copy of a 24-page monthly journal. Price of full course, 25 cents. Within the last two years forty persons have taken the course, and twenty-six of them learned the alphabet in two hours. Address H. A. Dike, Ohsweken, Ont.
BROTHER J. F. HANSEN, a Danish minister of wide experience, died in this city on the 6th inst., aged about 61 years. He had labored among the Scandinavians in Europe and from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the United States. There are prominent results of his labors in New York City and Chicago. His death was caused by cancer of the stomach.
FROM Brother Clarence Santee, president of Southern California Conference, we have some interesting items. Fourteen persons have accepted the truth at Sawtelle, and have erected a new church building. They received substantial help from persons not of our faith. A ten days' meeting at San Diego resulted, at the time of the report, in the baptism of eleven candidates, and the interest had not then ceased. In the past six months more than forty members had been added to the Los Angeles church.
THE wife of Brother F. L. Mead, who recently died at his post while in charge of the work in Matabeleland, Africa, evinces the true missionary spirit. She writes to the Mission Board: “My husband's death has been a great shock to me, but I have sought the Lord, and He has been very gracious to me. The precious promises of His Word have been my comfort, and I long to learn all the dear Lord would have me learn from this experience. I see no light in thinking of returning to America, and the children feel the same as I do.”
BROTHER J. W. BOYNTON, who went to Alberta, in the Dominion of Canada, last July, writes that he has visited all the principal towns in the northern part of Alberta, holding meetings as the way opened. He has visited isolated brethren, distributed tracts and papers, and received orders for our periodicals and books. Two Sabbath-schools have been organized, and he was expecting soon to organize one more school and two churches. At the time of writing he had baptized four persons, and others were awaiting opportunity. There was also a prospect for two church buildings in the near future.
BROTHER F. W. FIELD, who recently went from Ohio to Japan as a missionary, writes to the Welcome Visitor of his introduction. He says: “On Sabbath, November 16, I spoke to the little company, and Brother Okohira translated. Besides the brethren and sisters, there were present a number of those who have attended the Bible-classes. Brother Wade has a home about five miles from here, near the imperial university. His students are mostly from the university and the high school. All these students understand English fairly well. Last Friday evening I spoke to them on the love of God. About twenty-five were present and we had a good meeting.”
BROTHER N. N. LUNT, a pioneer in the faith, died in this city on the 8th inst., aged 80 years and 8 months. He was born in Calais, Me., and accepted the message preached by William Miller in 1841. He was among the first to accept the Sabbath message soon after the disappointment of 1844. He afterward moved to Battle Creek, Mich., and was connected with that church as elder for several years. He moved to California in 1886, and has been connected with the work in this city and this office until his decease. For about two years he had been unable, because of age and infirmity, to take a specially active part, but his heart was in the work to the last. He was the father-in-law of Brother C. H. Jones, president of the Pacific Press Publishing Company.

WHERE GOD SENDS.

A great fortune, or a large parish, or a multitude of hearers, may be anything but a blessing if we have chosen it. If God sends us one, and we can get thousands of dollars or of hearers, the one is better and grander than the thousand, as God sees it. When Philip was doing a great work in Samaria, where a revival was in progress, the Lord told him to quit the larger field for a smaller one, and go into a desert region. He obeyed the order, and his new parish had only one colored man in it, yet that new convert opened a new continent to the Gospel. An evil of evils is the thinking that we know more than God knows as to where is the best place for us. A blessing of blessings is the conviction that it is better to be where God wants us, whether the field be a large or a small one.—Sunday School Times.

The Bible in Many Languages

THE Bible in two languages will suffice for half the human race,—one in English, the other in Chinese; for the other half, three hundred and fifty languages and dialects must be used.

Knowledge, Forgiveness, and Sympathy

THE more we know, the better we forgive; Who'er feels deeply, feels for all who live. —Madame De Stael.

A “SUNDAY” NUMBER OF THE SENTINEL OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTY.

Such might the January Sentinel of Christian Liberty be called, for nearly the whole of it is devoted to a consideration of vital phases of the question of Sunday enforcement. Owing to the present agitation in New York City, a great deal is being said just now with regard to Sunday legislation, and the minds of the people everywhere throughout the country are turning to the subject. The Sunday movement is a growing movement, a deep movement, and now is the opportune time to place the Sentinel in the hands of the people. The January Sentinel will be larger than usual, 72 pages being filled with this and other matter of serious import. There will also be two very suggestive illustrations.
The reason people are led into supporting this movement is from lack of knowledge of its nature. Who will help to give them the right kind of education, by placing proper reading matter in their hands? How many copies of the January Sentinel can you use? It is neat, attractive, and should have a circulation of 100,000 copies. Special price on this number, $5.00 per hundred. Write your tract society immediately, and tell them how many copies you will use.

LESSON 4.—JANUARY 26.—THE LAME MAN HEALED.

Lesson Scripture, Acts 3:1-16, R.V.

1 Now PETER and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man that was lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength. And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God; and they took knowledge of him, that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11 "And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as tho by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified His Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you, and killed the Prince of Life, whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And by faith in His name hath His name made this man strong, whom ye beheld and know; yea, the faith which is through Him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all."
Golden Text.—"The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation." Ex. 15:2.

NOTES.

1. The hour of prayer implies a regular time. This regulation had been given by the Lord, who is always pleased with order and regularity. Spirituality is not a matter of mere routine, and often breaks through such bounds, yet regular hours for worship are as helpful to spiritual life as regular times for eating are to physical health.
2. "Called Beautiful."—Orientals often lavished expenditure on gates and doors of temples, and the gates of the temple at Jerusalem were massive and highly ornamented. The one called Beautiful (a name not applied by any other author) is supposed to have been the magnificent door of Corinthian brass described by Josephus, leading from the court of the Gentiles into the court of the women. The folds of this gate were seventy-five feet broad, and were covered with plates of gold and silver.
3. The interest manifested by the apostles in the lame man naturally aroused expectation on his part; but he had asked only temporal assistance, and expected nothing more. So his faith must be tested for a greater blessing. Then Peter told him plainly that he had no silver and gold, but would give him such as he had. No doubt the man had heard of Jesus of Nazareth before, but, like many others, supposed Him to be dead. Therefore to attempt to stand, when told to do so in that name, even when lifted up, was an act of remarkable faith.
4. The desire and expectation of the poor man was so great, and evidently enhanced by having heard before of the wonderful power of Jesus to heal, that his faith was instant. Therefore the reward came "immediately." The miracle was indeed a "notable" one, as the rulers and elders were forced to admit; the more so as the man was "above forty years old." Ch. 4:16, 22.
5. "Walking, and leaping, and praising God" would naturally attract much attention, and appear to be very unbecoming in the place of worship. The spirit of real joy and true praise often causes people to do things that ordinarily would be deemed eccentric and even foolish. Such an instance was David's dancing before the Lord when the ark was brought to Zion from the house of Obed-edom. 2 Sam. 6:14-16, 20-23.
6. Holding to Peter and John also drew attention to these ministers of the Gospel, and the people's coming together gave opportunity for the apostles to witness for Christ, in whose name the lame man had been healed.
7. The Jews always gave respectful attention to any favorable reference to the fathers, especially to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So Peter wisely prefixed his testimony for Christ with mention of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Stephen and Paul used the same means of presenting Christ to the prejudiced minds of their Jewish brethren. See Acts 7 and 13. It is always wise to approach a prejudiced person with something in which he is interested.
8. Peter repeats the stinging charge which had pricked the hearts of the people on the day of Pentecost—the charge of putting the Messiah to death. There he called Him "both Lord and Christ," while here He is "the Prince of Life."
9. The healing of the lame man was a perfect work, a work in answer to faith. No other kind of work but that of faith can be perfect, for no other kind is of God. Through the medium of this man's faith, "perfect soundness" had been given.

LESSON 5.—FEBRUARY 1.—THE PARABLE OF THE FOOLISH RICH MAN.

Aid.—“Christ’s Object Lessons,” p. 252.
Lesson Scripture, Luke 12:13-36.
13 “And one out of the multitude said unto Him, Master, bid 14 my brother divide the inheritance with me. But He said unto 15 him, Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you? And He said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness; for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance 16 of the things which he possesseth. And He spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought 17 forth plentifully; and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my 18 fruits? And he said, This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and build greater, and there will I bestow all my corn 19 and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, 20 drink, be merry. But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which 21 thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 “And He said unto His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for 23 your body, what ye shall put on. For the life is more than 24 the food, and the body than the raiment. Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more 25 value are ye than the birds! And which of you by being 26 anxious can add a cubit unto his stature? If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concern- 27 ing the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all 28 his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-mor- row is cast into the oven, how much more shall He clothe you, 29 O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; but your 30 Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. Howbeit seek ye His kingdom, and these things shall be added unto 31 you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleas- ure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treas- ure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth 32 near, neither moth destroyeth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 “Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning; 36 and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.

SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS.

1. What dispute was Christ once asked to arbitrate? What evil principle did He see at the root of the dispute? What warning did He give?
2. By what illustration did Jesus show the folly of living for the things of this life only? What problem perplexed the rich man in the parable?
3. From whom came the fruits of his grounds? Ps. 65:9, 10. Where might he have stored the surplus? Luke 12:33.
4. To what decision did he come? What truth had he forgotten? James 4:14, 15.
5. How was his ambitious plan cut short? What question did the Lord suggest concerning the disposition of the man’s wealth? See also Ps. 39:6; Matt. 16:26.
6. What class may take warning from the rich man’s fate? Toward whom should men be rich?
7. What lessons of trust would the Lord have us learn from the ravens? from the lilies? What is the important thing to seek for? Where will be the treasure of those who seek first God’s kingdom?
8. Quote some scriptures showing that this warning against covetousness is especially timely in the last days. What is to be the attitude of believers in this time? Luke 12:35, 36.

Essentials of English

The manuscript of a book entitled “Essentials of English,” by Geo. W. Rine, has been placed at the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., for publication. We believe that the forthcoming book will supply a need long felt among our people. The following statements from the preface of the work will serve to explain its aim and scope:—
“This book has been written with a special view to the needs of that large number of young and middle-aged persons, who, unable to attend school, are yet anxious to master the essentials of good English. It has been planned for the convenience of all who, in default of schools and teachers, are willing to teach themselves. A fair knowledge of elementary English grammar to begin with is all that is necessary on the part of the student of this work. The practical principles of syntax, which need the emphasis of iteration, have been set forth and illustrated under the title, Slips in Syntax.”
“The book is likewise adapted to the requirements of such school classes as have completed ordinary grammar, but are not yet prepared to begin the study of formal rhetoric. This treatise will serve as a natural transition from the one to the other of these two branches of English. . . . Being replete with illustrative matter, the book will serve as a valuable side-help to all teachers of grammar or of rhetoric.”
The titles of some of the chapters are: Accuracy in the Use of Words, Slips in Syntax, The Art of Sentence-Building, Punctuation, The Art of Correspondence, Learning by Doing, and Practical Synonyms Discriminated, with Exercises.
Information as to price, etc., will be given later. Address

The Name

Do you know some one who is addicted to the use of liquor, tobacco, or some other evil habit? You should not delay placing a copy of “The Name” in his hand.
The story is graphically and interestingly told in Apples of Gold Library No. 72 of how an old heathen named Mochana, in Bechuanaland, South Africa, who had spent, besides his entire savings, all his belongings he could convert into money, to procure liquor to satisfy his craving appetite, was finally totally cured of his dread disease. Sixteen pages. Just issued.

To the Children

Many boys and girls are earning a small sum weekly by selling the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. They pay 12 cents for ten copies and sell them for 5 cents each, or 50 cents for the ten. We wish to help other children to take up this work, because we know that the SIGNS OF THE TIMES brings brightness and good cheer into every home it enters. So we offer to give to any child who will promise to work for us, ten copies FREE TO USE AS A WORKING CAPITAL. The money secured for these ten copies will pay for nine copies for a whole month and leave 2 cents for sending us the order. We will take postage stamps.

CO-OPERATION CORNER.

MANY of our faithful missionary workers would gladly use much larger clubs of the SIGNS than they are now circulating if they could afford to do so, while there are others who would be just as glad to pay for such clubs if they knew who needed them.
For these reasons we have opened the “Co-operation Corner.” It will contain requests for clubs of papers for use in various fields, short reports from those who are using such clubs, acknowledgments of money received, and such other information as will bring together those who can use papers but can not pay for them, and those who can pay for papers but are not so situated that they can use them.
Since our last acknowledgment we have received donations on the following funds: $1.00 on the club of 50 Little Friends for the Mission Sunday-school; $2.55 on the club of 35 Little Friends for the Orphan Asylum, which completes the payment of the same in full; and $3.70 toward the SIGNS which are being sent to the various county jails.
This week we desire to bring to the attention of our readers the Working Woman’s Home situated at 1207 Marion St., Tampa, Florida. A recent communication from the matron says: “Our Home is dependent solely on donations; the inmates are always destitute, and we have to give them a home until they secure work. Will you not kindly send us your paper free, and we are sure the Lord will return you the price. The Home is for all denominations.”
Who would like to assist in sending a club of 20 SIGNS each week for free distribution to those who come to this Home? The price for six months will be only $7.00 and it will never be known till the great judgment day how many have been led to a knowledge of the truth through the little sacrifice made to send these SIGNS.
Send your donations at once to SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Oakland, Cal.
