The cigar makers of New York City have recently so far emerged from their accustomed state of chronic narcotism, as to enter, before the Board of Health, a protest against what some of them deem a just cause of dissatisfaction. Several public meetings have been held for the purpose of considering the matter. The cause of complaint will be explained by the following extract from the remarks of one of the speakers at a recent meeting:—
“When I learned that there were 14,000 registered cigar makers, men and women, in the city, besides enough children of both sexes to run the number up to 20,000; when I learned of the destructive change that was begun a few years ago, and is still taking place, in the way of carrying on the trade; when I found how tenements are turned into factories, where scores of families toil all day; and how these same factories are turned into tenements, where the toilers ride or are ridden by the nightmare during sleep; when I realized the conditions under which these poison-breathing workers—workmen, workwomen, work children, and work crones—existed in these tenement barrack factories; when I saw that every story, from cellar to garret, was crowded with the pallid-faced families of cigar makers, who are kept together and kept under surveillance by the employers, from whom they rent the dingy quarters in which they work, rest, sleep, and are confined; when I found that these multitudinous workers were living in a way to which human beings should never be subjected, and which was not only baneful to themselves, but produce mephites and maladies that spread through their localities; I say, men and brethren when I saw or heard these things, it seemed to me that they were related to public welfare, or ill fare, in very emphatic ways; and it did not seem to me that, in trying to bring about some sort of improvement, you were guilty of any crime against humanity, or any outrage upon liberty, or any assault upon industry, or any violation of law or order.”
Remarks were also made by other speakers who were familiar with the facts in the case, from which it appeared that malignant and contagious diseases of various sorts are rife among these miserable people, making sad havoc among them, and spreading the most loathsome diseases among the consumers of the products of their labor. One speaker knew of one of these tenement factories in which were fifty-seven children, none of whom had any means of obtaining a cubic inch of fresh air except in the filthy, crowded street. Even children of the tender age of three years are employed in stripping the poisonous tobacco, while their brothers only a few years older are engaged in bunching for sale the vile products of this infamous industry. It has been clearly shown that the death rate among these wretched people is seventy-five per cent; and this in a Christian land. The Board of Health are contemplating an investigation. J. H. K.
SAVED
By V. A. M.
“Black and sullen the ocean,
Black and sullen the sky,
Drifting fast to the leeward,
Never a harbor nigh.
Rent the sail and the cordage,
Torn and shattered the deck;
Alas, alas! for the ship,
Drifting so fast to wreck.”
“Ah! but the loss of the ship
Is only so much gold;
Alas! for the perishing souls,
Whose price can ne’er be told.
Hark! o’er the whelming waters
Cometh their pleading cry—
Help, Jesus, or we perish!
O Christ! O Christ! we die.”
Not long since, we saw a picture of a stone cross, resting upon a solid rock in the ocean. The waves were beating against it as though they would tear it from its foundation; but, baffled in their attempt, rolled back, angry at their defeat. The sky was black and lowering. In the distance was a ship which had labored with the elements, till, with rent sails and torn and shattered deck, she lay at the mercy of the waves. Some of the passengers had abandoned the ship, “drifting so fast to wreck,” to reach, if possible, the cross which offered them succor. As they floated near it, some one, retaining a firm hold of the cross, caught them by their garments, and drew them up to it.
Dear reader, do you understand what this picture, which we have tried to describe to you, represents? The dark, lowering clouds represent the things which come between us and God, and shut out the light. The dark, angry waves represent the temptations which surround and almost overwhelm us. The stone cross represents the Rock of Ages, Jesus Christ.
As we looked upon this picture, we were sad and yet glad. We were sad as we thought of the enemy of all good, who is ever ready to prompt to evil, and the many temptations all along the way, to lead the youth and children down to death. We were glad as we looked at the cross; for, if we only plant our feet firmly upon the Rock, and cling to the cross, we are safe. No matter if the way does seem dark, and the waves of temptation sweep over us, the cry for help will surely be heard by One whose ear is not heavy that it cannot hear, nor his arm shortened that it cannot save. The light will surely pierce the thick clouds of darkness, and shine upon the Rock of Ages, and, hope springing up, we can cling to the cross and be saved.
Saved! Saved from what? Saved from sin and eternal death. People are glad and thankful when they are saved from some danger which has threatened them. We will here relate a little incident which will illustrate this; but the happiness and gratitude which will fill the hearts of the redeemed when they are safe in Heaven, no mortal tongue can tell:—
Our readers will perhaps remember the fearful shipwreck of the steamer Atlantis which took place some time ago on the coast of Halifax. Hundreds of lives were lost on that occasion, and dreadful scenes were witnessed. “There was a merchant from Detroit, who was a Christian man, among the passengers on board that steamer. When his family heard of the wreck, they were in great distress. How eagerly they read over the list of the dead, in the newspaper, to see if his name was among them. But God so ordered it that this gentleman was permitted to get safe to shore. As soon as he reached the telegraph office, he sent a telegram home to his family. There was just one, single word in that telegram; but oh! it was worth more than all the money in the world to them. It was the word saved! And when that merchant returned home, he had that telegram framed and hung up in his counting-house, with that one word, saved, in it, so that he could see it every day, and that all who came in might see it too, and be reminded of God’s great goodness in sparing his life.”
But it was only the merchant’s present life that was saved; and this is nothing compared to the future life. But when we come to Christ, he engages to save our souls in Heaven forever. And the time is not far distant when the redeemed shall come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads, and instead of treading streets which are paved with the gross things of earth, they will walk the streets of gold in the New Jerusalem; and instead of plucking sin-cursed flowers, they will gather the never-fading flowers of the new earth; and instead of hearing discordant music, the silvery notes of the redeemed will fall upon their ears. What a glorious salvation! Saved by the Rock of Ages.
Remember, dear reader, in time of temptation, to cling to the cross of Christ. Not only cling to it yourself, but lend a helping hand to others.
“Try to catch their garments,
As they float sadly past;
Fear not the storm or danger,
Count not the gain or loss;
So you can help the drowning,
On to the Rock of the Cross.”
V. A. M.
The Greatest Folly.
The following is old, but it will bear reading often: A wealthy man was one day so much amused by the wit of his foolish attendant, that he gave him his cane, but told him that wherever he should find a greater fool than himself he must return the cane. In process of time the rich man neared his death. Sending for this fool, he bade him farewell. “Where are you going?” asked the fool. “To another world.” “When will you return?” “Oh never!” “Have you made preparation for the journey?” “Alas! I have not.” “Then, master, take back your cane; never could there be a folly so great as that.”

General Quarterly Meeting in Iowa.

The meeting appointed in last week's Review at Marion, Iowa, is therefore taken up. We hope there will be a special effort made in each district to have the reports in season. We want to see a large attendance of the brethren and sisters from all the surrounding country. This will be the only meeting I shall be able to hold in Iowa for the present. And I want to see many of the old friends of the cause there, as well as those who have recently embraced the truth. Meetings will commence Sabbath evening, and hold over Sunday. Turn out, brethren, there are important things to be done. Let the friends bring with them bedding, &c., to make the burden light as possible upon the church. Turn out, and come to seek the Lord and to labor in his vineyard.

One Hundred Dollars Each.
By James White
THREE years since, when a call was made for means to put up a second office building at Battle Creek, and to pay a heavy debt on the Health Institute, the few friends then in California cheerfully and confidently sent $3,000 in gold over the mountains and across the plains in response to the call.
In return, their eastern brethren wish the pleasure of furnishing an office complete, with a fine press, engine, and all other material necessary, which will cost from six to eight thousand dollars. This has no connection whatever with the pledges of the brethren to sustain their paper, at the late California camp-meeting.
We here give the names of those east of the plains who have paid one hundred dollars each. Others will be added as fast as paid.

Biblical Institute.
By James White
THE Lectures of the Biblical Institute will commence Dec. 15, at 7 P. M. The attendance will be large. It is hoped that our brethren of the Danes, Swedes, French, German, and others, will join their American brethren in this means of instruction and improvement. It is also designed to be a source of revival and spiritual growth, to more fully unite the servants of the Lord in heart and spirit, as well as in the great truths of God's word for this time.

To Correspondents.
By Uriah Smith
L. H. L. Isa. 65, commencing at the 17th verse, was explained in No. 1, Vol. 43, of REVIEW in the article headed, “The Child Shall Die an Hundred Years Old.” It is too lengthy to republish again so soon. You will find an explanation of Isa. 66:24, and the quotation from this verse in Mark 9:44–46, in “Man’s Nature and Destiny,” pp. 279–288.
The word “remember” in the fourth commandment emphasizes that commandment above all the rest of the decalogue. It is the one which especially the great enemy of God and his truth would like to have mankind forget, so that he could lead them to apostatize from God; and the atheism and idolatry that are in the world to-day, all come from the failure of men to heed that word “remember” and are an evidence to what a fearful extent Satan has succeeded in his work. It proves, moreover, that the Sabbath originated before God spoke the commandments from Sinai; for it would be absurd to tell a person to remember a thing of which he had had no previous information.
U. S.
A Request.
By J. B. Goodrich
LET all the members of the T. & M. Society of District No. 1 send their reports to T. S. Emery, Cornville, Maine, at least ten days before the quarterly meeting at Norridgewock, Dec. 19, 20. We hope all the members of the Society will show their interest in this branch of the work by sending in their reports in season. Let none excuse themselves. J. B. GOODRICH, Pres.
This Week’s Paper.
By James White
THE sermon on the first page, by our venerable and much-respected Bro. Pierce, is rich in thought, and will be read with interest and profit. The other matter on pp. 170, 171, is worthy of a close reading.
Eld. Andrews’ reports from Europe are received with joy, and are ever read by all our people with peculiar interest. But the statements in the present issue, relative to their late meeting at Neuchatel and the forty Sabbath-keepers in Prussia, fill us with joy, and give additional evidence that the time has fully come for the great work of the restitution of the Lord’s Sabbath among his true children in all the nations of the earth. Bro. Andrews has the fullest sympathy of his brethren in America; and we trust that thousands of prayers go up daily for the blessing of God upon his mission in Europe.
The first number of The Voice of Truth, mentioned by Bro. Haskell, will be issued about New Years, when the new postal law takes effect. We have thousands of back numbers of the REVIEW AND HERALD which are free to the Tract Societies to use as samples of The Voice of Truth, and to scatter to the people in their labors of love. We will also furnish sample copies of the Health Reformer free to the tract and missionary workers.
The enterprise is a great one. And while our Publishing Association proposes to furnish The Voice of Truth and the Health Reformer to the T. and M. Societies for half price, and pay the postage, as required by the new law, every branch of the Tract Society, and every individual friend of the cause should labor to the point of obtaining as many full-paying subscribers as possible.
Pages 174 and 175, with their general articles and reports of progress, are good and cheering. While evidences of apostasy are visible all about us, how cheering to the toilers is the evidence of progress in our work in all the wide field. Wisconsin seems to be especially visited with mercy drops, while the extreme States of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and California, report progress in this issue. God speed the work everywhere.
A BLUE cross on the margin of your paper signifies that your subscription will expire in two weeks, and that an earnest invitation is extended to you to renew at once.
