Sunday Bills Before Congress

Two more Sunday bills have made their appearance in Congress, one in the House, introduced April 20, and one in the Senate, introduced April 23, both providing for Sunday closing of the Jamestown exposition to be held at Hampton Roads, Va., in 1907. As with the Chicago, St. Louis, and Lewis and Clark expositions, Sunday closing is to be secured by making the government appropriation for the exposition conditional on such action by the managers.

THE following ironical comment on Mr. Heflin's Sunday bill for the District of Columbia, taken from the National Tribune of this city, of March 22, shows plainly the absurdity of such a measure: “Representative Heflin, of Alabama, is going to have the Sunday laws observed in the District of Columbia. He says he isn’t going to have building, hauling, and all other kinds of business going on in the capital of the country, just exactly as though this is not a Christian nation; and for once Representative Heflin is right, mighty right. It should not be permitted, and so all good, law-abiding citizens will stand by the bill which Mr. Heflin has introduced, and which, if passed, will prohibit Sunday work of the character mentioned. The wives of members of Congress will still continue to hold receptions and give bridge-whist parties on Sunday, however.”

THE pastor of a leading church in Batavia, N. Y., is reported, in the Batavia News of March 7, as saying, concerning one of our brethren who was circulating the petition against the Sunday bills before Congress: “This man is a Seventh-day Adventist, at least he did not deny it when I asked him if that was his denomination, and he is working to abolish the Sunday laws in order that people of his faith, who observe Saturday instead of Sunday, may gain strength. If the laws are done away with, the members of his church may work on Sunday and keep Saturday as their Sabbath. Now they have to keep Sunday also, according to the Sunday laws. When a person signs this petition, he is asking for the abolishment of Sunday laws.” This minister's words show very plainly that he does not know why we are opposing Sunday laws, and he doubtless represents a large class. This demonstrates the necessity of presenting the principle upon which Sunday laws are based.

Current Mention

— The Russian Imperial Council has announced that the cost of the war with Japan is 1,066,600 rubles, or about $1,000,000,000. This is almost double the cost of the Russo-Turkish War.

— The latest reported incident in the terrorist regime of the Russian revolutionaries is the assassination of the chief of police of Odessa. The assassins did their work in broad daylight. Other minor assassinations are reported.

— Pierre Curie, who achieved fame as the discoverer of the wonderful element, radium, met an unfortunate and untimely end recently in the streets of Paris, being knocked down and run over by a dray. His death is greatly deplored in scientific circles.

— The case of J. M. Searle, superintendent of the Southern Railway, against the State of Georgia, which was brought before the United States Supreme Court on a writ of error to test the validity of the Georgia Sunday law prohibiting the running of Sunday freight-trains, has been dismissed by the court for want of jurisdiction. The case was brought before the court on the ground that the Sunday law was repugnant to the federal constitution.

— The recent seizure by Turkey of Tabah, which is at the head of the Gulf of Akabah, has involved that government in a dispute with Great Britain, which controls Egypt. The Egyptian government asked the porte for an explanation of the act, and Turkey in reply claimed that the town was within Turkish territory. Great Britain protested, and the controversy has reached a point where it is said that England will coerce Turkey if the latter does not recede from her position.

— The French government is taking energetic measures to quell any revolutionary outbreak in that country, and the outlook is somewhat less dark than it has been. Processions and street demonstrations on May 1 have been forbidden.

The Paris Figaro says concerning the situation and the coming elections: “The coming elections will have decisive importance. It is no longer a courteous struggle between parties divided by mere shades of political opinion. The question now is to decide whether society is to be saved, or whether it is to perish amid the horrors of anarchy.”

— Political affairs in Russia are still in a chaotic condition, and bid fair to continue so for an indefinite time to come. Recently the executive committees of the St. Petersburg Social Democrats and Social Revolutionists were arrested by the police while holding a secret session. The members of these bodies are greatly enraged at this action, and have been making dire threats. A congress of monarchists has been in session at Moscow, during which it adopted a series of extremely reactionary resolutions, declaring that the new parliament is not representative of Russian public opinion, and pronouncing itself in favor of treating Jews as foreigners, and excluding them from all rights. The proceedings closed with a speech by Professor Nicholsky, a noted reactionary, in which he prophesied a counter-revolution, to restore the old regime, which would cost the lives of 5,000,000 Jews and Constitutional Democrats.

— Although Mt. Vesuvius has quieted down to its normal state, the elements continue the work of destruction caused by the eruption, and make more hopeless the prospects of the unfortunate residents in its vicinity. Streams of mud, caused by heavy rains, are flowing down the mountainside and engulfing the towns which were spared by the volcano, the natural water channels which formerly existed having been filled up by the down-flowing lava. A dispatch from Naples says: “Among the people to-day was seen the calmness of despair. There were no ravings or terror, but the despair which weakens the will and removes the desire to do anything. About thirty houses which were almost submerged, but have not yet fallen, may be saved if the rains are not repeated; but if the downpour starts again, preparations have been made to blow them up with dynamite in order to prevent a worse disaster.”

— A London dispatch states the following regarding the decimation by disease which is in progress among the natives of India and Africa: “Medical science seems powerless to stem the progress of two terrible scourges, the plague and the sleeping sickness, or beriberi. During March, in India, the plague increased rapidly in every province, and reappeared in a district from which it was supposed to have been banished. Bengal has been reporting 5,000 deaths a week, and Calcutta had 40 deaths in one day in March. Bombay has 150 deaths every day. Matters are equally bad in the central provinces in spite of the splendid efforts to crush the disease by segregation, inoculation, etc. The sleeping sickness is proving equally deadly in tropical Africa, and has now reached the west shores of Lakes Mweru and Tanganyika, where the natives are dying by the thousands. British Central Africa is threatened, and there is every reason to fear the disease in time will reach the thickly populated country.”

Two Methods of Teaching

God has a method of education, and Satan has a method. These both were introduced into the garden of Eden. They have existed side by side ever since. One is what the world calls a broader education, and the other is looked upon by the wisdom of the world as narrow. The key to the Lord’s method is contained in four words, “Through faith we understand.” Heb. 11:3. It is then illustrated by the following words, “That the worlds were framed by the word of God.” The next statement contrasts it with worldly wisdom, “So that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Worldly wisdom declares that what is seen of this world—stones, earth, and trees—was made from certain elements that existed thousands of years before the creation recorded in the Bible.

The Lord made “every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew.” Then comes the first recorded lesson. “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Here was a positive command what he should do, and what he should not do. Man was to believe God without questioning how or why. But how different is Satan’s reasoning! Hear him: “Ah! What hath God said, ye shall not eat of any of the trees of the garden? Then the woman spake unto the serpent: Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat, except of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, of which God spake: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman: Not dying shall ye die [or ye shall not surely die]; but God knoweth that on the day that ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be like God, understanding good and evil.”—Spurrell.

Satan first disputes the testimony of God by a method of reasoning. Putting it in other words, “Did God say so and so? Well, the Lord knows it is not so.” Then he explains what the Lord meant, thus substituting an explanation for the positive testimony. This is Satan’s method, and it becomes the chief corner-stone of higher criticism of the Bible. It makes the reason above, superior to, the plain testimony of heaven. See the apostle’s comment on this method of reasoning in 1 Cor. 1:18-31. The success of the Roman Catholic system of education lies in the fact that the children are taught to believe what is told them. The weakness of the Protestant system is the fact that the children are first taught to reason, and what they see to be true, believe. Let God’s Word be first, foremost, always to be believed, and then reason to demonstrate that it is true, rather than reason to see if it is true. In this is salvation. Do not drown what God says, by reason. God’s method of reasoning will make men strong, ministers successful, the Bible reader intelligent.—Bible Training School.

How to Develop the Child’s Sense of Smell

By Vina M. Sherwood

An exercise which is both pleasing and useful, also one which breaks the usual routine of the schoolroom, is the following: Pass to each of the pupils a small envelope having written on it the name of some spice, fruit, vegetable, or narcotic. Then request the children to bring this substance to school. Each child is to keep the name on his envelope a profound secret from the others. When the envelopes have been returned, have the children take position, then pass one envelope at a time, allowing each child to smell. Then have the older pupils write what they think the envelope contains, while the little ones may come and whisper their decisions. Their delight knows no bounds when some common substance, like the onion or camphor, is passed, and each recognizes the odor readily. Do not make this a sober hour. Let them, if they wish, laugh, and even clap their hands with pleasure when one of their number discovers the scent. It is best to have them take position while passing the envelopes, because of their tendency to feel the substance through the envelope, as well as smell.

When some substance is difficult to detect, allow them more than one trial. Sometimes it is necessary to make a slight opening in the envelope.

You will observe that in some the sense of smell seems very acute, while others can hardly detect any of the odors. When this inability to detect is not due to any defect in the organs of the smell, each repetition of this exercise will be sure to show a development of this sense.

I have known of people walking through a field of clover or an orchard of blossoming trees without detecting the fragrance of either. How much of the sweetness of life we miss because of lack of observation!

It is not alone for the esthetic side that a development of this sense is valuable. As to-day, in the preceding exercise given to correlate with a previous lesson on the olfactory sense, some harmful substances were introduced. For instance, cotton saturated with carbolic acid was placed in one envelope. At first trial very few of the children recognized the odor. It can be readily seen that a child might not be able to read the label on the bottle, but if able to detect the odor would not carelessly use the contents.

I would be pleased to read the method of some teacher in developing the sense of hearing. I refer more definitely to the observation of the sounds in nature.

Next Year's School

By F. G.

A VITAL question with every church-school teacher and school board at this time of the year is, “What arrangements shall be made for our school another year?” The arrangements for the continuation of our church-schools throughout the country ought not to be left until the summer and early fall. It certainly is as easy to arrange for them at the close of the year’s work as at any other time, and in many respects easier. Then as at no other time are the needs of the school clearly in mind. The teacher who is to conduct the school the coming year needs all the vacation to prepare for the work. Many plans that would otherwise not occur to her will suggest themselves if she has her definite work in mind. The financial support of the school can be definitely planned for and arranged much more satisfactorily because of the lengthened time in which to make preparation. Some of our church-schools have taken advantage of the “missionary acre” idea, and the patrons and pupils have set apart portions of land, the income from which has gone toward the support of the school. In many localities this idea is a valuable aid, but plans to this end have to be made in the spring. So from many points of view, it is wise to lay definite plans early for the success of the school the coming year. F. G.

To Those in Cities and Congested Centers

By C. McReynolds

It is not advisable for our people who are located in the country where there are even small churches, to break up and move; but there are many in the cities where there are large churches, who are not needed there, and who can do much more good in a country place.

The Lord, through the spirit of prophecy, has spoken plainly to the effect that many should move out of Battle Creek. There are also some other places where some of the same reasons for moving out exist.

It is to these we wish to say, There is an opportunity to get good land which is not hard to clear, at from ten to fifteen dollars an acre, on easy terms,—one third of the price cash; long time on the rest, at six per cent. A few of our people have settled there and begun to make farms. A schoolhouse and church combined is being built. It is expected to be ready for dedication about the middle of July. The church-school will begin the first of September.

Those who are interested in this matter can receive the necessary information by writing to Judge N. A. Colman, Eagle River, Wis.

This settlement is in Vilas and Oneida Counties. The school is located near Clearwater

Lake, one of the most beautiful in the lake country. The climate is healthful, and most of the land is good. All northern crops are produced in abundance. Potatoes, strawberries, clover and timothy hay are the leading products.

To the Absent Members of the Battle Creek Church

At the last business meeting of this church, it was voted that all members whose addresses could not be learned should be placed upon what would be known as the retired list, and not be counted with the other members of the church. This is done with the understanding that as soon as any of these members are heard from, their names shall be added to the regular list of members, provided they have remained faithful in the truth.

All members who have not regularly reported to the church are hereby requested to do so, that the officers of the church may have proper information upon which to base a division of the members. Address A. L. Bayley, Clerk, 271 West Main St., Battle Creek, Mich.

Our German Papers

By Editor

THE first of April we changed our German missionary paper, the Christlicher Hausfreund, from a sixteen-page weekly at $1.25 to a twenty-page semimonthly, including the cover, at $1 a year. Our purpose will be to make it more salable, so that our workers in our large cities can sell it.

We have also changed our German church paper, Deutscher Arbeiter, from a small eight-page monthly at 25 cents to a larger eight-page semimonthly at 50 cents a year. These two papers will be issued alternately.

The Hausfreund will contain the senior Sabbath-school lessons, as before, while the Arbeiter will contain the intermediate lessons. Thus both papers will be a help to every family, and we believe our German brethren and workers will appreciate the change. Order of your tract society, or of the International Publishing Association, College View, Neb.

Evil Reports

By Geo. I. Butler; W. A. Wilcox; I. A. Ford

A SMALL leaflet is at present being sent through the mails to ministers, teachers, and others in our churches, denouncing the brethren and workers who are conducting the Nashville Agricultural and Normal Institute.

We, the undersigned, are members of the board of management of this school, though not connected with it as workers, and we desire to state that the charges made are not true, and that our brethren and sisters should not give them any credence. We believe that those laboring in this school are earnest Christian men and women, and are doing all that they can to forward the cause of the third angel's message.

Central Union Conference Teachers’ Institute

DURING the past few years the several conferences composing the Central Union Conference have recognized the importance of church-school work, and each summer, for the development and the encouragement of church-school teachers, have provided normal-institute training for them. They also have given them financial assistance in attending these institutes.

The Educational Advisory Board and the Central Union Conference Committee, desiring to continue this work in behalf of the teachers, have recommended the holding of a union conference normal institute at College View, Neb., from May 29 to July 9, 1906. The object of this institute is to encourage and develop teachers for church- and intermediate-school work. The course of instruction has been graded into a four years’ course, with this thought in mind. We believe such a course of instruction presents a number of advantages over the plan of work followed in the past. First, all who

attend will be able to find class work adapted to their needs, whether they are beginning teachers or teachers with years of experience. Second, it will promote regular attendance at normal institutes, and encourage progressive work on the part of our teachers. Third, it will require more careful and systematic class work on the part of the teachers and their instructors in the institute.

Those who expect to engage in church-school or intermediate-school work in the Central Union Conference next fall should attend the institute, and those who are looking forward to teaching as their life-work will find the institute a special help and an inspiration in their preparation for the work.

Owing to the kindly interest on the part of the union conference and the State conferences, and the Union College Board of Management, we are able to offer our teachers the following exceptionally low rates: Tuition, free; rooms in South Hall, free; board, $1.25 a week. A library fee of twenty-five cents will be charged all who are enrolled as students. These low rates are offered with the understanding that each student in the school will perform two hours’ manual work each day, under the direction of those in charge, also that each student will provide for his own laundry work. The college laundry will be open to all students rooming in the college home. A printed announcement will be sent to all who request it. If further information is desired, address B. E. Huffman, College View, Neb.

Teachers, Attention!

By M. E. Kern

PROGRESS is our watchword. As individuals, we should constantly improve. Our schools should increase in efficiency from year to year, and our educational system should be continually improved.

In the building up of this system we must have text-books. The Text-book Committee are very anxious to get the opinion of all our teachers on the text-books now in use. Very few responses have reached us as yet. Will not every teacher who reads this notice, and who has not yet complied with this request, please answer the following questions in regard to the text-books now in use in each grade, in each subject?—

What book are you using, or have you used?
What are its strong points?
What are its weak points?
What book, if any, would you prefer to the one you are using or have used?

Send your answers to the undersigned, at College View, Neb. M. E. KERN, Secretary Text-book Committee.

Chesapeake Conference, Notice!

By Morris Lukens

THE seventh annual session of the Chesapeake Conference will convene at Baltimore, Md., May 18-27, 1906. The first business meeting will be held at 9:45 A. M., May 20. All Seventh-day Adventists in this conference are urged to be present, and we trust each will come prepared to bear his part in the business of the conference. Churches that have not yet elected their delegates will please do so at the first opportunity. Elders E. W. Farnsworth and W. J. Fitzgerald and several members of the General Conference Committee will be with us.

Let all prepare to come at the very beginning of the meeting and stay till the close. We are living in a time when none can afford to miss these gatherings of the Lord's people. God has rich blessings in store for us if we are willing to receive them. Let nothing hinder us from coming at this time.

Let those who are planning to attend correspond with Edwin R. Nutter, 1909 Lansdowne St., Baltimore, Md., that arrangements may be made for their entertainment.
