Those arriving in the city at the C. & N. W., Union, Grand Central, or Polk Street depots, will take the State Street cable line on cars marked Sixty-third Street, going to Forty-sixth Street, where they will get off, and walk on Forty-sixth Street one block east to the church.
Those arriving at the Michigan Central station at Twelfth Street will take the Indiana Avenue car attached to the Cottage Grove Avenue cable train, going to Forty-sixth Street, where they will get off, and walk two blocks west to the church. The Michigan Central, Illinois Central, and Big Four trains run into the Twelfth Street station.

The Committee on Entertainment expects to secure furnished rooms for all at a reasonable rate. Good board will be furnished as nearly at cost as possible. ALLEN MOON.

Canvassers' Institute in Pennsylvania

By R. A. Underwood

We expect to hold our camp-meeting this year at Johnstown, from June 5-16. Beginning May 5, one month before the camp-meeting, we are to hold a canvassers' school at the same place. One half of the day is to be devoted to class work and study. The afternoon will be occupied in selling books in the city and its suburbs. Experienced instructors will be furnished by the Atlantic Union Conference. The State agent and these teachers will not simply give instruction in the class room, but will go out with each canvasser to show him how to sell books.
We want fifty students to be drilled in this manner in selling our leading and best books, including our health books. We want all the old canvassers, and not less than thirty new recruits, to attend this school. It will be a great help to the old canvassers to meet other canvassers of varied experiences, and learn new methods. Elder E. E. Miles and other experienced canvassers will be present to assist in the instruction.
To encourage canvassers, old and new, to attend this institute, the Conference will allow five per cent extra commission on sales of books to all who attend the entire school and go into the field from the camp-meeting. This increase of commission will continue until the whole amount of railroad fare expended in going to the school and returning from the camp-meeting is refunded. The cost of living in Johnstown will be small, and the profits on sales of books should much more than pay the expense during the institute. The instruction will be free, and the profits coming to the canvassers on increased sales during the coming season will be ample pay for all the time and little expense that will be required from each canvasser.
All correspondence with reference to the school should be directed to F. E. Painter, Elliott, Pa. In addition to the Union Conference help at the school, we will have one or more ministers present to conduct meetings each evening. R. A. UNDERWOOD.

For Ministers, Bible Workers, Canvassers

A six weeks’ institute, beginning April 15, will be conducted at Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Mich., for ministers, Bible workers, and canvassers. Special Biblical instruction will be given by Elders Brunson and Spicer. Work in English adapted to the special need of field laborers. Practical instruction in hygiene and simple treatments, such as every evangelical worker has need of. Tuition free. Ask your Conference president about it. For further information, address E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich.

Obituaries

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus

Fiddler.—Died at Merrill, Wis., Feb. 8, 1902, of cancer, Sister Marcella Fiddler, aged 47 years, 1 month, 21 days. Funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder Hughes (Presbyterian). Text, Job 14: 14. T. B. Snow.
Thorp.—Died in Fresno, Cal., Feb. 9, 1902, of pneumonia, James H. Thorp, in his eighty-second year. Since 1881 he had been a staunch advocate of present truth. Words of comfort were spoken from Rev. 14: 13, Elder A. C. Bourdeau assisting in the services. H. G. Thurston.
Frost.—Died at Coaticook, Quebec, Feb. 12, 1902, of cerebral apoplexy, Curtis L. Frost, aged 71 years, 8 months, 10 days. His strict honesty and quiet life won for him the esteem of the community. He will be greatly missed by the church at Dixville, of which he was elder. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. H. E. Rickard.
Wood.—Died at Medical Lake, Wash., Feb. 10, 1902, Mrs. C. M. Wood. Sister Wood was reared a Seventh-day Baptist, and in 1869 she and her husband accepted the Adventist faith in California, under the labors of Elders Loughborough and Bourdeau. Remarks from Rom. 6: 23 were made by the writer, and the remains were laid to rest by the side of her husband's in the city cemetery at Walla Walla. W. W. Steward.
Glunt.—Sister Cora, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Glunt, was born in Osceola, Iowa, March 31, 1878; died at College View, Neb., Feb. 7, 1902, of consumption. She spent two years in Union College, and three years in the Medical Missionary Training School at Battle Creek, Mich. She was a faithful student, and a true missionary till the very last. The funeral services were held in the College View church. Words of comfort and hope were spoken by the writer, from Job 14: 1, 2, 14. J. S. Hart.
Peterson.—Died near Clifton, Tex., Feb. 17, 1902, Sister Anna Peterson, aged 38 years. She was reared in the Lutheran faith. By the kind influence and godly example of her husband's mother, she was won to the truth. She died as she had lived the last ten years—in peace with God, praying for those whom she left. A kind husband, five children, an aged mother-in-law, and a very small church mourn their loss. The writer arrived two days too late for the funeral, which was conducted by the pastor of the Lutheran church. A. W. Jenson.
Bostwick.—Salina J. Bostwick (nee Price) was born in Galena, Ill., Feb. 3, 1837. Brother and Sister Bostwick were early pioneers in the truth, he being one of the first Seventh-day Adventist ministers in Minnesota. Elder Bostwick died in 1866. Sister Bostwick was ever firm in the truth. One year ago she came to Baker City, Ore., to live with her son. In April she fell, breaking a limb. From this accident she never recovered. She grew suddenly worse, and fell asleep January 18. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder W. C. Young. Text, Rev. 14: 13. W. F. Martin.
Falconer.—Died in Battle Creek, Mich., Feb. 15, 1902, of Bright’s disease, Elder William H. Falconer, aged 40 years, 3 months, 19 days. At the age of twenty-two he was married to Miss Ella M. Nichols. In 1886 Brother Falconer became a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Elmwood, Mich. Three years later he entered the gospel ministry, and followed this calling with good results to the day of his death. By his kind and gentle spirit he won the confidence of the people wherever he labored. He leaves a wife, two children, father, and mother to mourn their loss. Funeral and burial at Barryton, Mich., Feb. 18, 1902. I. D. Van Horn.
Green.—Fell asleep in Jesus at Battle Creek, Mich., Feb. 14, 1902, Brother Joseph C. Green, aged 31 years, 3 months, 14 days. His life, though comparatively short, was an eventful one. In 1888 he came to Battle Creek to attend the College. After he left it, he taught school two years in Wisconsin. In 1889 he returned to Battle Creek, and at a spiritual awakening, was fully converted and united with the church. In 1891 he was united in marriage with Sister Cleora E. Hall, daughter of W. H. Hall, who for many years was steward at the Sanitarium. In 1895 Brother and Sister Green went to Tahiti, where they spent nearly three years in faithful labor in winning souls to the Lord. He worked in the Review and Herald Office before and after his return from the South Sea Islands, and was in the employ of that institution at the time of his decease. He was highly and universally respected by his fellow laborers, and beloved by all who formed his acquaintance. His last sickness was brief. He died of tumor at the base of the brain. Prayer was offered for him by the elders of the church, and he seemed to feel that he would be healed. The last time they prayed for him, they were impressed that his end was near, and when this was stated to him by his wife he calmly and sweetly responded by saying, “The Lord’s will be done.” He leaves a devoted wife, and a young son, besides other relatives. His mother arrived just before he breathed his last, but on account of unconsciousness, his lips were sealed to her. As a son, Brother Green was loving and devoted; as a husband, he was affectionate and self-sacrificing; and as a Christian, he was earnest and staunch. The funeral was held in the Tabernacle at Battle Creek, and was largely attended. The funeral discourse was given by the writer, assisted by Elders Nicola, Evans, and Spicer, who offered brief remarks. Brother Green rests in hope, and the faithful will meet him in the resurrection morn. S. H. Lane.

“The Scriptural Foundations of Science”

I have read “The Scriptural Foundations of Science,” and find in it many valuable and useful thoughts. It is what the name of the book itself indicates. It shows the fallacy of harmonizing the Bible expressions with science on the ground of these expressions being the customary way of speaking. God accommodates himself to the people, yet He never states a thing that is not true, in order to meet men where they are. He always selects such words as are far-reaching, even beyond the comprehension of carnal man. By taking the expressions in the Bible to mean what they say, it lays a foundation for true science; but because those expressions are beyond the comprehension of men, they are held to be unscientific. The fallacy of such conclusions this book exposes.
It vindicates God, and shows very clearly that if we would be guided in science, it must be by the words of God, who is the author of all science. It is when we believe God because He speaks, that we obtain light and truth from His word. This principle the book vindicates. It shows that men’s ideas of science are not safe to follow, when not in harmony with the plain word of God, who inspired men to write the truth, which is the guide in all science. This is the object of the book, and the writer has admirably succeeded. “By faith we understand.” We commend the book to those who are in danger of wrecking their soul on this rock of skepticism, that God may be true and every man a liar.
S. N. Haskell.

Sabbath-School Lessons

The International Sabbath-School Quarterly, No. 28, containing Sabbath-school lessons for the second quarter of 1902, is just out. Orders can be filled promptly.
This number of the quarterly begins a new series of lessons on “Studies in the Gospel Message,” for the senior classes. The lessons are prepared in a skillful manner, and well designed to encourage the study of the Scriptures themselves, rather than the written lesson. They are designed to be merely a guide in the study of the word itself.
The lessons as presented in this number of the Quarterly are on the following subjects:—
The Gospel of the Kingdom and the Coming of the Lord; The Question of Supremacy; The Great Controversy Transferred to the Earth; The Two Mysteries; The Gift of the Seed; Faith Is the Victory; The Coming of the Seed; A Tent of Meeting and the True Temple; The Law of God in the Ark and in the Heart; The Promises to David; David’s Response to the Lord’s Promises; Building the House of David; The Sure Mercies of David.

“Manual for Home and Church Schools”

A few words will express the sentiment of the present Theory and Practice class of the Keene Academy in regard to the “Manual for Home and Church Schools.”
“In the class we have studied the Manual carefully, sentence by sentence, and we think it unexcelled as an aid for all teachers of church schools.
“The course of study for church schools, the principles underlying Christian Education, the practical instruction on the application of these principles, and the information on general questions of school work contained in this book render it invaluable to the teacher. The contributors to this Manual are experienced church-school teachers.
“The Lord has a purpose in bringing this book into existence at present, for Christian Education surely is a potent factor in the Third Angel’s Message. The main object of the book is to prepare the way for the church-school teacher. It should be placed in the hands of the parents, that they may co-operate with the teacher. We do not consider any community ready for a church school until the Manual, or some similar work, has been placed in every home.
“Where the parents have taken an active interest in teaching their children right principles of education, the church-school work has been a success; and if the instruction given in the Manual is followed, we expect far greater success in the future.” Signed by the class.

“The Master’s Greatest Monosyllables”

The State tract society secretaries have been examining the new book, “The Master’s Greatest Monosyllables,” and we quote below some expressions they have made relative to the book, in their private correspondence.
New York.—We consider “The Master’s Greatest Monosyllables” a valuable little work in its line. It touches on the points in the Master’s work which but few, if any, have noticed. It is a little gem, and is full of helpful suggestions for any Christian.
T. E. Bowen.
Colorado.—I find it intensely interesting, very instructive, filled with seed thoughts and diamond-pointed arrowheads which direct saint and sinner to the One who said “Come,” “Go,” “Do,” “Lo.”
E. W. Carey.
Oregon.—I have finished reading “Monosyllables” with both pleasure and profit. It is a book full of inspiration for our young people.
T. H. Starbuck.
Arkansas.—The little volume, “The Master’s Greatest Monosyllables,” is inspiring, and will incite deep study in the sayings of Jesus. To those who are spiritually weak or discouraged it will impart new life and spiritual vigor, and the unconverted will find in it a glimpse of the eternal blessedness found in a sin-pardoning Saviour.
Mrs. Ella Hardesty.
Chesapeake.—We have read the book through. It is gotten up in a very attractive style. The contents show that the author has explored a wide field of book-research. We believe this little book will be well received by the clergy of our sister denominations as well as by their communicants.
Chas. D. Zirkle.
Maine.—I am much pleased with the book. It breathes a spirit of consecration and devotion, which I think our people would do well to cherish. I wish we had more books of this kind.
E. H. Morton.
Ohio.—We took the little book, “Monosyllables,” home with us, and decided that we would at least sketch it. To one who has read it, it is not necessary to state that we did not lay it down until we had read it from cover to cover. We can do no better than quote the second paragraph of the introduction: “The world is full of books, many of them good, and yet there is room in the wide field of religious literature for another that is inspiring, uplifting, and comforting in its teaching. This little volume, sent on its mission of love, will certainly stimulate believers in the work of the Master.”

“The Fall of Babylon”

What is Babylon? What constitutes her fall? What is meant by “the wine of the wrath of her fornication”? These questions are clearly and carefully answered in the new tract recently published under the title of “The Fall of Babylon.” And besides these questions many important facts pertaining to the present spiritual condition of the churches are portrayed in a manner that impresses the importance of a thorough consideration of the full truth pertaining to Babylon and her fall.
This tract is published in the Bible Students’ Library as No. 169. It has an appropriate illustrated cover; 22 pages; and sells for 1½ cts. per copy, with the usual discount to Tract Societies.

A Merited Tribute

The Ladies’ Journal had occasion to visit Chicago recently on a matter of business. We traveled by the Grand Trunk Railway, leaving Toronto to the minute at five o’clock in the evening, schedule time, and arriving in Chicago at 7:20 the next morning, right to the moment according to the time table. In fact, during the whole journey we could step right off the train into the darkness at the moment we were timed to stop at any particular station, feeling sure we would reach the platform without any mistake. This, too, in the midst of quite severe winter weather when the track of the railway, as a rule, is not always in the best condition. The Journal has ridden on most of the great trunk lines in America, and finds that the Grand Trunk main line between Toronto and Chicago is equal to the best of them.
The train itself was a marvel of luxury and convenience. The dining car’s beautifully shaded electric lamps on each table, revealed the whitest and finest of linen, cutlery of the best, and china of the daintiest pattern. The service was, altogether, everything that could be desired. The servants of the company are courteous and obliging, but not obsequious.
We observed that the train, both in going and returning, was filled almost to its capacity, most of the upper berths being taken, and all of the lower ones. This was no special occasion, simply ordinary, every-day travel. We give this brief notice of the Grand Trunk from our pride in our grand national highway, and out of the fullness of our heart for such a comfortable, safe, and speedy journey. Moreover, we were not traveling on a pass.—Toronto Ladies’ Journal.
