If there is any widow, or forsaken wife with a child or two, who wants to find a home, she may correspond with me. I like this place, it is a pleasant home, but I will give it to any one more needy than myself. It is eight miles from town. Address Kate Bailey, 311 Farrar St., Brainerd, Minn.

ORGANIZATION OF THE BERRIEN SPRINGS CHURCH.

By M. Bessie DeGraw

Four months ago the people of Berrien Springs looked askance at the few Adventists who visited their village in search of a new site for Battle Creek College. Evidently many felt as one man expressed himself: “At first I was full of prejudice, and did not care to know them; finally, I attended some of their meetings in the grove, and I found that my prejudice was without foundation.”
The meetings referred to were held in the pavilion two evenings each week as long as the summer school lasted. As the students gathered for worship each morning and evening, the sound of their voices floated over the quiet village, and their songs reached many an unexpected ear. Thus little by little the workers gathered here exerted an influence in the community. There has been no effort to enter into controversy; the ministers have been undisturbed, and no attack has been made, much as it was feared, but instead our people have joined their voices in prayer and song in the weekly prayer-meetings; they have worked with the ladies of the W. C. T. U. until there is a spirit of inquiry regarding our principles of dress and diet. When Dr. and Mrs. Edwards came for the opening of school, there were patients in waiting for them, and at the opening exercises of the college the hope was openly expressed by citizens that a sanitarium might be established at Berrien Springs.
A few weeks ago steps were taken to organize a church, a few teachers and students forming the nucleus. That the students in attendance during the fall term might have the privilege of becoming charter members, the roster is left open until January. In organizing, the church, the Sabbath-school, and the missionary society were closely united, the leader of each being a member of the Executive Board.
Prof. J. H. Haughey was elected leader of the church, and Dr. Edwards was made superintendent of the Sabbath-school. A church-school board was appointed at the first meeting, and arrangements made for the education of the children. This is to be a real church school, every member helping in the support, and free education being offered to every child who applies for admission.
It is proposed to make the church as nearly ideal as possible. We have begun by looking after the children, and laying the financial burden upon all. The Sabbath-school also has a high standard in view; it is hoped to make it a real training station for Sabbath-school workers.

OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD.

By E. P. Auger

ALCORN COUNTY, MISS., presents a field greatly in need of Christian help work. The cotton and corn crops especially have been poor this last season, and in consequence the renters are all very poor this year, and their small crop will not pay for the food bought on credit while they were cultivating their crop. Many families are destitute, the children without warm clothes or shoes. Some are suffering these cold nights, and many children are going barefooted. If some of our people will send me, prepaid, some outgrown clothes, shoes, etc., I will distribute them to the needy, as many widows and orphans and country people are driven by hunger to the city to earn a living. My wife and I have been giving all we could, and have received many garments from people here to give to these unfortunates. Not a tenth of the suffering ones are relieved, so I take this way to let our people know of the good they can do by sending us clothing, especially for children. We do missionary work by nursing the sick, holding cottage meetings and Bible readings, supplying paper racks at railroad stations, feeding the hungry, etc. There is good interest to read and hear the truth. Address me at Corinth, Alcorn Co., Miss.

THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS

By Mary C. Cook

“ARISE! SHINE! FOR THY LIGHT IS COME.”

What are you doing in your particular section? Have you entered this work with the Lord? Long ago He lifted His mighty arm in behalf of His schools; long ago He called us to arouse out of sleep. Are we awake to the situation here?
The Lord has prepared the ground; all things are ready for our work. He doesn’t ask us to build an oak tree, but He does ask us to sow faithfully the acorns. He doesn’t ask us to gather the harvest: “The reapers are the angels.” But, O brethren, let us sow the seed; let us put our lives into God’s hands so fully that He can use us to His glory in His appointed work. The people must have God’s truth. They will learn to love His voice in nature, they will learn to know that voice in their own souls, if they are guided to see His workings in all about them.
What a mine of wealth is stored in one single chapter of “Christ’s Object Lessons,”—wealth of truth right along this line! Are we feeding the people on this truth? Are we loyal to our Leader in following wherever He goes to prepare the way for us to work? Let every soul that has been touched with a desire to do something for the relief of God’s schools and the uplifting of Christ’s name in the earth, delay no longer. Standing on the threshold of eternity and expecting to meet the result of every neglected opportunity at the judgment bar of God, dare we put off doing what the Lord has said must be done to roll the reproach from His name and His work in the earth? Let those who hope for a home in the new earth arouse! God says that “only those who are interested in the cause of God on earth will sing the song of redeeming love above.” Do you believe it? Do you hope to mingle your voices in that song? Then “arise, shine; for thy light is come.”
Let the interest marked by faithful, prayerful, unceasing effort be shown in the work with “Christ’s Object Lessons.”
MARY C. COOK.

A LESSON FROM THE FARMER.

The other day I was out in the country with a canvasser. We saw a farmer sowing wheat. He was sowing that he may reap next year. He had no thought of reaping sooner; he was perfectly willing to sow now, and wait till next year for the harvest. He knew, too, that when the cold and snows of winter come, there will be seen no sign of his sowing. He also knew that when the sun and warmth of spring come, the wheat will be seen where he had sown it so long before. The power of God keeps it alive all winter, and in the spring the farmer rejoices that he sowed. Still greater is his joy when he gathers the wheat in his barn.
Brethren, now is the sowing time.
We know, if we believe the Testimonies, the seeds of truth sown now will be kept alive by the Spirit of God through these years till near the end, when the warmth and light from that same Spirit will cause them to grow and ripen into fruit. Brethren, why not sow now, expecting to reap then, if not before?—New York Indicator.

Scattering Literature in New England

If all the brethren and sisters would only take hold of the work of scattering these precious books, as well as our other literature, what a mighty flood of truth would burst upon old New England. May God help us all to be so filled with the Spirit of God, and the spirit of the message, that we shall scatter the seed broadcast, and see souls in the kingdom as a result.
We hope that you will all remember the work in this section in your prayers.—N. E. Gleaner.

ARE YOU WITH GOD IN THIS WORK?

ONE morning, while at breakfast, a gentleman asked his little three-year-old boy where God is. He said, “He is out canvassing.”
If those who are out selling our books would only realize it more fully, they could not possibly get discouraged. Just think of it! “If God be for us, who can be against us?”—Minnesota Worker.

The Work at Nashville.

Some weeks ago a call was made for fifty $100 contributions to assist us in purchasing necessary machinery equipment, to provide in part a working capital, and for the purchasing of a stock of paper and other material to put into books. To meet the demands of this peculiar field, it is necessary to publish large editions of small books, and to do this we must have sufficient material and adequate facilities.
We are grateful indeed for the help that has come to us in response to this appeal, and that all may know how much is yet needed to make up the sum required, we append the names of those who have thus far responded:—
George B. Thompson...............$100 00 Mrs. Carrie Thompson.............150 00 Elder H. A. St. John.............100 00 Mrs. M. A. Loper.................100 00 A friend........................100 00 Jonathan Richart.................250 00 Ida E. Richart...................250 00 Wm. Hurlock......................500 00 S. W. Hastings and wife..........100 00 Chas. Briggs.....................100 00 $1,750 00
In addition to this amount some smaller sums have been received, which are none the less appreciated.
Feeling confident that the full sum of $5,000 would come in, we have gone forward in our preparation for the work to be done. A stock of paper and working material has been purchased, and will be put into books as fast as possible. Machinery has also been added, thus giving us the facilities actually necessary at the present time.
We have enjoyed much of God's blessing since the work on our building was begun. At the outset we had less than one hundred dollars, but we had confidence that if we were obedient to God's way,—to “plan by faith, work by faith, and not go into debt,”—He would open the way before us. To His praise, we can now report that the building is completed, free from debt. We feel to say, “This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.”
Now, brethren, we are in urgent need of the balance of the five thousand dollars called for. The payments on the machinery and paper stock recently purchased, we have arranged to meet as the money comes in. We are confident that God will impress those of you who have means, to respond to this call. We also ought to have a fund to aid in furnishing a stock of books, tracts, and pamphlets, so that the office can be brought to the highest point of efficiency, and thus meet the purpose for which it was established.
If you feel prompted to aid at this time, please address the undersigned.

The Scriptural Foundations of Science.

Have you ever thought of the immensity of the universe and the consequent greatness of the Creator? If you have or have not it will do you good to read The Infinitude of Space in the new book entitled “The Scriptural Foundations of Science.” It will make you think. You will realize your littleness and your Creator’s wisdom and power, and at the same time warm your heart. Do you know how far away are the stars that glimmer in the sky each night? Read the chapter on Celestial Magnitudes, and you will gather some idea. Some of these great, ponderous truths will help you out of the little ideas that at times take possession of us all. You will be encouraged and inspired by reading the last chapter in the book, The Reign of Law. But then, you must get the book, and read, in order to know what is there.

The book you have waited for so long is now ready. It is a page-for-page facsimile of the English. The translation is of the very best.
This is an excellent book, one that will wear well, and be new to you every time you read it. Now, will you, every one, help give this standard work a large circulation before the holidays? This is a book people will purchase for the purpose of making presents to friends, and shall we not supply them with it?

Then, don’t feel timid about sending in your order for that number, knowing that you are entitled to six.
The proceeds of the Swedish edition of “Christ’s Object Lessons” go to the school in Sweden. Remember that we also have this book in Danish-Norwegian and German.

Turkey’s Failed Appeal for Help

“He shall come to his end, and none shall help him,” says the prophecy of Daniel, speaking of the Turkish Power. Dan. 11:45. Turkey has long been dependent on the help of other Powers for the maintenance of her position in Europe, and has had the help of European Powers when brought into a tight place, until she has come to rely on such help as a regular thing in her political controversies. But on the last occasion, when pressed by France, the accustomed and anticipated help failed her. To the last moment Turkey refused the French demands, trusting that some of the Powers would come to her assistance. Finally, she appealed to England for help, but England was silent. The French fleet appeared in Turkish waters, and Turkey was forced to submit. “None shall help him,” says the prophecy; and apparently Turkey has come within sight of the time when this prophecy is to meet its fulfillment. “And at that time shall Michael stand up.”
