Of all happy households that is the happiest where falsehood is never thought of. All peace is broken up when once it appears there is a liar in the house. All comfort has gone when suspicion has once entered—when there must be reserve in talk and reservation in belief. Anxious parents who are aware the pains of suspicion will place general confidence in their children, and receive what they say freely, unless there is strong reason to distrust the truth of any one. If such an occasion should unhappily arise, they must keep the suspicion from spreading as long as possible, and avoid disgracing their poor child while there is a chance of his cure by their confidential assistance. He should have their pity and assiduous help, as if he were suffering under some bodily disorder. If he can be cured, he will become duly grateful for the treatment. If the endeavor fails, means must of course be taken to prevent his example from doing harm; and then, as I said, the family peace is broken up, because the family confidence is gone. I fear that, from some cause or another, there are but few large families where every member is altogether truthful. But where all are so organized and so trained as to be wholly reliable in act and word, they are a light to all eyes and a joy to all hearts. They are public benefits, for they are a point of general reliance; and they are privately blessed within and without. Without, their life is made easy by universal trust; and within their home and their hearts they have the security of rectitude and the gladness of innocence.—Harriet Martineau.
What Makes Prayer
BOWED knees and beautiful words cannot make prayer; but earnest desires from a heart bowed by love, inspired by God's Holy Spirit, and thirsting for God, the living God will do it anywhere, or in any place, or at any time.

# Proper Diet for Man.
## MODERN NATIONS.
Although all ancient history abounds with this class of testimony, we will not dwell longer upon this branch of the subject, but will now come to consider the testimony of the world at the present time. As already observed, a large majority of the human race are obliged to subsist almost exclusively upon vegetable food; yet when we compare the condition of such nations with those who make large use of flesh food, both mentally and physically, we can come to none but a favorable conclusion in regard to a vegetable diet, at least when we take into consideration the effects of climatic and social influences.
Professor Lawrence, although himself a meat-eater, makes the frank admission that the Laplanders, Esquimaux, Tartars, Kamschatdales, and several other nations of similar dietetic habits, although living almost entirely upon flesh, are the smallest, weakest, and most cowardly people upon the globe. On the other hand, we find that, as a general rule quite free from exceptions, the most hardy, long-lived, robust, well-developed nations, both physically and mentally, are those whose diet is almost entirely, if not exclusively, vegetable. We have abundant evidence of this, even in our own country. The men who construct our extensive railways, who dig our immense canals, who bridge our rivers and tunnel our mountains, are almost entirely of foreign birth. The hardy Irish peasant, who comes to this country after having been reared upon a diet almost wholly made up of oatmeal and potatoes, far out rivals the flesh eating American in physical endurance and muscular power. And in point of mental activity, the Irish are proverbial for their ready and characteristic wit. The same is true of the Irish girls who come to this country and engage in domestic service. Their readiness and activity are really surprising. But it is a very significant as well as patent fact that after having spent a few years in this country and becoming accustomed to the diet in common use, this difference rapidly disappears, so that in the second or third generations little vestiges of former superiority remains. The same might be said of other nations as well, as the Germans, Danes, etc., and would be true of them, as also of the Irish, in a much more marked degree, were it not for the baneful influence of their great addiction to the use of alcoholic beverages.
But as it may be claimed that in the instances cited the manifest difference may be due to natural disadvantages of climate or some similar causes, we will compare nations to which this objection cannot be raised. Take, for instance, the natives of New Zealand and those of Australia. Neither of these people, when discovered, possessed any domestic animals. The New Zealanders derived a considerable portion of their aliment from various vegetable productions, while the Australians subsisted almost entirely upon animal food, a large portion being procured from the sea. According to the accounts of reliable travelers, the difference between these two races is very great. The former are well-developed, and seem calculated to endure fatigue and hardship. Many of them are really handsome, and excellent models of symmetry. The Australians present quite a different aspect. They are ill-proportioned, with small, thin, dwarfish limbs. One eminent writer says of them that they are "the most miserable of men," while another, in speaking of them, remarks, "They are undoubtedly the lowest created beings that wear the form of humanity and claim the name of man."
A similar comparison might be drawn between the Calmucks and the Circassians. Dr. Clarke says, in describing the first mentioned, "Nothing is more hideous than a Calmuck." Their form and features are exceedingly uncouth, and, in the words of the same writer, "so horrible and coarse is the appearance of the women that it is difficult to distinguish sex." The Circassians, on the other hand, have long been celebrated for their great superiority in point of beauty and symmetry. Their women are said to be the most handsome of any nation, and are remarkable for the delicacy and fineness of their features. Says Dr. Lumb, a noted English physician and writer, "Few will hesitate to pronounce that the ugliness of the Calmucks is the natural consequence of their diet." It consists almost wholly of flesh, horses being to them what the reindeer is to the Laplander—his slave during life and food after death. With the Circassians, however, the opposite is the case. They engage largely in agriculture, cultivating barley, millet and various vegetables. The national dish is millet porridge.
Here we have given two fair illustrations which ought to settle the question if no further evidence could be advanced; but this is hardly a beginning of the testimony. A large volume would be required to do the matter anything like justice. In addition to these evidences of a national character, we have the testimony of thousands of individuals in this country and England who have during the last twenty-five or thirty years, adopted the vegetarian system. When the change has been properly conducted, it has invariably resulted in salutary effects.
COMPARATIVE NUTRITIVE VALUE.
In regard to nutritive value, there is a striking difference in favor of vegetable food. Notwithstanding the generally prevalent opinion that flesh is concentrated nutriment, and far more nutritious than vegetables, grains, etc., the results of analysis, according to our best chemists, unmistakably show that such is by no means the case. Our most reliable investigators have determined, by the most carefully conducted experiments, that one pound of beef contains no more actual nourishment than is afforded by a pound of peas or lentils; and if we include what Liebig terms respiratory food, we find that wheat and barley meal furnish more than twice, and oat meal and rice more than three times, as much nourishment as an equal quantity of flesh. We see, then, that in fact, flesh food ranks below many of our common vegetables in nutritive value.

The Last Day to the Christian.
By Dr. Cumming
WHEN the last day of this dispensation shall arrive, the last tear that you will shed over sin will then be wiped away. You are now blessed in your mourning upon earth; then and at that day you will be comforted forever; for God will wipe away all tears from all eyes, and there shall be no more weeping, or crying, or sorrow. At that day the last doubt shall have gone from your minds like a passing cloud from the sky; the last suspicion of the love of Him whom having not seen, ye love, will be dissipated forever; the glass through which you now see darkly will be broken; and those mysterious dispensations that you cannot understand; that cross, the load and pressure of which you are unable to bear, you will then and there discover to have been messengers from God, reasoning of righteousness, and temperance, and judgment; and that there was as great a need be that you should have gone through that baptism of sorrow, as there was that Christ should have died upon the cross, or that you should have been washed in his precious blood. You will then discover that your bitterest cup was your most precious one; that your darkest and dreariest night was that in which you grew most; and that the roughest road, and the heaviest storm, and the most crooked way, which seemed to you to be leading you off from the promised Canaan, was the nearest route to the everlasting rest that remaineth for the people of God. You will find, what you feel now, that the bud had a bitter taste; but you will then discover, as you have not yet, that sweet indeed is the flower.
At the last day, the last sacrament of the Lord's supper will be administered. You will need no Bible there; for all space is radiant with its texts, and texts ten thousand times more precious still. You will need no sacrament of the Lord's supper then; for you did it in remembrance of One who was not present bodily on earth, and in expectation of the advent of One who is not yet come to the earth. But then there will be no remembrance of Him, for He is present; there will be no more expectation of Him, for He is come. The sun is risen, the morning star is not wanted, the substance is present, the shadow is not needed; the temple has had its last cope-stone and corner-stone laid upon it, the scaffold must now be taken down and put away forever. In that day the last promise will be fulfilled, the last prophecy will be realized; what is now prospect to your hearts will then be possession—and what a possession! A possession exceeding all prospect, transcending all expectation; till you say, as she of Sheba said of Solomon's grandeur, "Half the glory and excellence of that blessed land was not told us by prophet, by apostle, or by evangelist." The streams are sweet; but how sweet will be the fountain! The bread of our Father's house as it is distributed in crumbs is now precious, but how precious will be bread eaten in his own presence; where "they shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more, neither shall the sun light upon them, nor shall there be any heat!"
The last toil, and struggle, and labor, of which you have now the bitter and tearful experience, will have passed away. The march of duty will be finished, the journey of life will be done, your days and nights of weariness will be ended, you shall enter into rest. "You rest from your labors, and your works do follow you." When one thinks of all the tribulations, the sorrow, the trials, the distresses, the sicknesses, the pestilences, the plagues, the famines, the battles, amid which, as amid the waves of a stormy sea, thousands every day are struggling for a precarious existence, we cannot but hail the prospect, and pray for the joyous advent of that day, when the hopes of the humblest believer shall be realized, and this tangled web shall be unravelled, and these perplexing struggles, and toils, and trials shall be ended; and we shall here the words—richer, sweeter, deeper, than the sweetest strains that ever angels sung,—"Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
And when that day comes, those we parted with on earth, to see no more amid its busy scenes, its trials, and its troubles to sympathize with us as we suffered, or to strengthen us in the battle of life, shall emerge again from the shadow of the grave. Countenances long hid shall have all the darkness rolled away; voices long silent shall be heard again; broken circles completed; once happy groups more happy than they ever were before. For at that day, when all things old shall pass away and all things new shall begin,
> "There shall be no more farewells to the dying,
> Or mournings for the dead;
> The heart of Rachel, for her children crying,
> Will then be comforted."—Dr. Cumming.

OBITUARY.

DIED, near Grand Prairie Station, Dallas county, Texas, May 28, 1878, Brother John A. McDearmon, aged nineteen years and eleven months. He was not a church member, but was a regular attendant upon Sabbath meetings and Sabbath-school; he was obedient, respectful to his parents, and careful of his words and his temper, and was much esteemed and beloved by his parents, and by all who knew him, for his many virtues, and noble traits of character. From his childhood he prayed daily to God, and when any of the family were sick, he would go alone and pray for them with fervency; yet he was timid and reserved, and this it is believed, hindered his making a public profession of the truth. In his last illness, Brother Kilgore and others, assembled at his request, to pray for his recovery; at this time Brother K. faithfully exhorted him to make thorough work in repentance and confession, and he called each member of his father's family to his bedside, and to each he had a word of kindness and confession, and praised God aloud; and to all he gave hopeful evidence of reconciliation to God. Remarks at the funeral on 1 Cor. 15 : 17.

Reno, Nevada.
By John Norton Loughborough
WE have now held twenty-three meetings in the tent here. Have canvassed quite thoroughly the question of immortality and the Sabbath. We held our first Sabbath meeting last Sabbath. About twenty-five children and adults met in the tent. Ten of the adults signed a covenant to keep all God's commandments. Last evening two discourses were given in the place on immortality. We dismissed the tent meeting and I listened to one discourse and Brother Hand took notes of the other. I shall give some attention to their weak efforts against the truth, in connection with my discourse to-night. I continue here another week, and hope for a few more to give their names to obey the truth before we leave.
Like most of Nevada towns, Reno has not a great amount of interest in religious or Bible matters. Last night, (Sunday) while a few were at the churches a brass band called a full house together, two blocks off, to witness a theatrical performance of the Taylor family. So it goes. If we cannot reach the masses we must try to help all we can. Pray for us in our effort.

Yountville.
By W. M. Healey
We have given eleven discourses in this place. When we came here we found a deep prejudice among the people, which had been produced by false teaching and misrepresentations. From this condition of affairs we have worked up a good interest, so that our attendance ranges from fifty to one hundred and fifty. This being a country place many of these come from quite a distance, some of them walking five miles.
We expect to see some take their stand with us before the camp-meeting closes. Pray for us.

DURING the past week we held meetings in the vicinity of Nortvig, west of Horsens. Six souls have covenanted to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. They were organized into a small church, and Brother Niels J. Pedersen was ordained elder. Systematic benevolence was arranged. They are rather poor, and cannot contribute much; but God blessed our willing offerings according to the means with which he had entrusted us. We felt that the Spirit of the Lord was near, and thanked God for the blessing he bestowed upon us, when celebrating the ordinance of the Lord's house. Sunday evening I held a meeting at Bjerre, south of Horsens. Here I found a few who liked to hear, and investigate God's blessed truth. The next day I conversed with them about the kingdom of God. To-day I am on my way to Alstrup.

The Mission to England.
NOTHING has occurred for many years in connection with our cause which has afforded me more satisfaction than the expected mission to England. For years I have been waiting with much interest for the development of God's providence to indicate that the right time had come. I believe we have reached it at last. Brother White's recent article concerning this mission and the plans for making it a success seems to me to be excellent.
I cannot refrain from expressing my great joy at the prospect of the establishment of the English mission. For years it has seemed strange indeed that while we have been making earnest efforts to plant the truth among those of other tongues, and have sent leading men among them, who had to go through the long and tedious process of learning strange languages and becoming acquainted with the customs of the people, we should have neg-

lected to send men to England, where they could commence at once to preach and scatter publications in our own language. Yet this is doubtless all consistent with the providence of God. Had the opposite course been pursued, the English mission would now be far advanced, while there would have to be a delay of years before we could do much in the French, German, and Italian languages. Now our brethren there are fairly prepared to work in these languages just as the English mission is to be entered upon with vigor, and thus both can be nearly on an equality in closing up the great work for the world.
This mission is another grand step in this great work. Firmly believing God is in it, and that he will abundantly sustain his servants who shall go there to labor, and not doubting the readiness of our people to fully equip this mission as Brother White has suggested, let us all do our part, as individuals, in establishing and sustaining it, and be faithful in our stewardship. May God abundantly bless the English mission.

Meeting of Clergymen.
August 19, there was a meeting of the clergymen of Oakland and San Francisco at the Calvary church, S. F., to consider the propriety of requesting the coming State convention to formally recognize the Christian Sabbath, Sunday, in the constitution. After the object of the meeting was stated a paper was read stating more broadly the action deemed desirable in the premises, at the conclusion of which the following resolution was moved as a basis of discussion and a suggestion for a constitutional amendment:—
The Law.—Every citizen of this State shall have the right to one day of rest in seven.
It was thought that the people of the State would be willing to have added, "and to worship God according to the dictates of their own hearts." The opinion was then expressed that the resolution was not sufficiently comprehensive to cover the ground; it needed to go farther and to amend that section of Declaration of Rights that allowed any degree of religious freedom not incompatible with public morality. As an amendment to the motion it was moved that this be added to the section of the Declaration of Rights in question:—
The Amendment.—And to secure the objects above stated, general and secular public business and public amusements shall be suspended on the first day of the week, called the Sabbath day or Sunday, and the Legislatures of the State shall enforce the above provision by appropriate legislation.
The former provision was withdrawn in favor of the amendment.
The New Song Book.
By Editor
WE are now ready to fill orders for our new Sabbath-school song book, The Song Anchor. We will have a supply at the California camp-meetings, where all who desire can obtain copies. The selection contains a greater number of the popular tunes of the day than any other book of its character, and many of the new pieces are destined to become general favorites. Of about fifty books of this class now before us, emanating from various publishers all over the country not one appears to us as handsome or substantial as The Song Anchor. Price 50 cents; per hundred $40. Address, PACIFIC PRESS, Oakland, Cal.
For Camp-Meeting.
PARTIES in Oakland who have commutation tickets for the Yountville camp-meeting will bear in mind that they will have to take the six o'clock boat for San Francisco, Wednesday morning, 28th instant; the local train connecting with this boat, leaves Broadway station ten minutes before six. All who have more baggage than they want to carry in the hand can have it taken over to San Francisco on Tuesday, by informing Brother G. A. Baker in time, as he will make a special trip across the bay for that purpose. All, both in Oakland and San Francisco, who have half-price tickets should not forget that the Vallejo boat leaves San Francisco at seven A. M., and that these tickets will not be good only on the date above mentioned.

Let all our brethren and sisters in northern California make especial effort to attend this meeting. Come, bringing your friends and children with you. Come, praying the Lord to meet with us in power. Come, consecrating yourselves to God as never before. Come so as to be all in readiness to commence with the meeting and to stay to its close. Coming thus, it may be made to us indeed a source of great spiritual profit.
