In February, 1901, he went to the St. Helena Sanitarium, Cal., where he received the kindest of treatment and was greatly benefited. He accepted the truth of the Third Angel's Message in 1877, and traveled thousands of miles, much of it on foot, preaching the soon coming of the Lord and warning the people to get ready. He left the sanitarium on or about April 15, arrived at my house April 21, very much fatigued; took to his bed, which was already prepared for him by his niece, my wife, where every attention was paid him until the end, which came very peacefully. He was full of hope and Christian courage, and was conscious to the last. May we be as ready as he to answer the summons when it comes. SILAS G. COOPER.

The Marvel of Nations
By Uriah Smith
OUR COUNTRY;
Its Past, Present, and Future, and Its Place in Prophecy,
BY ELDER URIAH SMITH,
Fifty years editor of the ADVENT REVIEW AND SABBATH HERALD.
Night Scene of the Late Panic in Wall Street.
“THE MARVEL OF NATIONS” was first issued twenty-five years ago, and more than a quarter of a million copies of this volume have been sold. The large circulation of the book demonstrates the demand for a work setting forth the broad, liberal form of our Government; the remarkable growth and progress of the nineteenth century in the arts and sciences; the development of the country’s natural resources in mineral, agricultural, grazing, and timber lands; the great improvement of our agricultural resources, such as the production of corn, wheat, cotton, etc.; unlimited manufacture of iron, steel, lumber, cotton and woolen fabrics; the system of railway trunk lines traversing the country in every direction. Surely we are living in the time which is foretold in Dan. 12:4, the “time of the end,” when
“Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
There were more than a quarter of a million copies of the first edition of “The Marvel of Nations” sold. The paper used in the manufacture of these books, if each sheet was spread out, would cover a farm of more than 240 acres. The cloth used in the covers would carpet a surface 47 x 32 miles. If the books were laid end to end, they would make a path 31 miles long; and if piled one on top of the other, they would make a pyramid four miles high. Eternity alone will reveal the results accomplished by the sale of this wonderful book, in the way of circulating a knowledge of the times in which we are living, of the rapid development of our own country, and the knowledge and progress of the grand principles of truth portrayed in the Scripture, and their relation to and bearing upon the events which are now occurring “IN OUR COUNTRY.”
The numerous calls for a revised edition of “The Marvel of Nations,” have encouraged the author to undertake the work, and no pains have been spared in a careful revision of the text, in statistics, of the increase in the production and manufacture of articles, the discoveries in the field of art and science. The manner in which the author correlates the Third Angel’s Message and the fulfillment of the prophecy as related to these events, MAKES THIS WORK THE MOST DESIRABLE OF ALL TWENTIETH-CENTURY BOOKS.
“The Marvel of Nations” will be a subscription book. No pains have been spared by our artists in preparing suitable and appropriate illustrations for the work. It will contain about 340 pages; 150 illustrations, colored emblem of OUR COUNTRY; table of contents; list of illustrations, and general index. Ready for delivery about midsummer. Price and exact date of delivery will be announced later. Will be printed in four languages, English, German, Danish, and Swedish.
The revised edition of “The Marvel of Nations” will be one of the most rapid-selling books that we have ever issued, it being a twentieth-century publication, giving up-to-date statistics, having a direct bearing on, and connection with, the Third Angel’s Message. It is desired by the publishers that we have at once the names of a thousand persons who will engage in the sale of “The Marvel of Nations.” Send your name to your State agent, and if in the REVIEW AND HERALD territory send to the REVIEW AND HERALD PUB. CO., and if in the Pacific Press territory, send your name to the Pacific Press Pub. Co., and arrangements will be made with you so you can engage in the sale of the book when it is first issued.

YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORK.
IN harmony with the resolutions passed at the General Conference, it has been decided, by the committee appointed to consider the matter, to devote special attention to the work for the young people, and to open a department in the Youth's Instructor in the interests of this work. This department will contain selections from the Testimonies, setting forth the duty of our young people to encourage one another in the Christian life, and to be a help and blessing to others. Suggestive outlines for Bible-study and missionary study, suitable for young people's meetings, with live reports of actual work done, will also be given. Our brethren and sisters in the field and in the churches are urged to encourage the writing of such reports for our youth's paper.
All questions relating to this work should be sent to the corresponding secretary of the Sabbath-school Department, which has this work in charge, Mrs. I. Flora Plummer. Until further notice her address will be 1502 Third Ave. S., Minneapolis, Minn.
Ecclesiastical Empire: What Rome Has Done for Nations
SINCE 1892 has stood the authentic announcement of the plan of Pope Leo XIII that what the Church of Rome has done for other nations she will do for the United States, and, through this, for all humanity. It is, therefore, of interest to all to know just what she has done for other nations. This can be thoroughly known by reading pages 95-564 of the new book, “ECCLESIASTICAL EMPIRE,” where the whole story is told better than in any other book; because all that is in other books is concentrated in this. Get it,—874 pages; $2.50 by mail. Address Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.; Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., or your State tract society.

ATTENTION!
By S. H. Lane
We take pleasure in calling the attention of every reader of the REVIEW to the fact that Sabbath, July 6, is the time appointed by the General Conference Committee as a day of special prayer and consecration to the Lord for the work in foreign fields, and especially the Scandinavian field. On that day a special collection will be taken in every church for the Christiania (Norway) publishing house, which is being redeemed from the pit of debt. We wish to restore the house, once more to stand as the headquarters of our work in the Scandinavian countries. It has been the parent of all similar institutions in that country.
We believe that our brethren and sisters all over the land will come to the rescue; and while the people of the world are planning to have a good time the Fourth, in honor of our country's freedom, we want to be planning to save our money for the support of the work in Christiania. Do not forget to remember the work by your earnest prayers, as well as by a very liberal offering. Remember the date—Sabbath, July 6. S. H. LANE.
