The Hand of God in History

By W. A. Spicer

By W. A. SPICER

No other line of study outside of the Bible itself so increases one's usefulness in presenting Bible truths as does the study of history. When the record of historical events is placed side by side with Bible prophecies, a combination is secured which makes the study both convincing and entertaining. In the new book "The Hand of God in History," this plan has been followed in a manner which renders the book invaluable to Bible students. A few who have read the book speak of it as follows:—

"Elder Spicer has taken much pains in collecting important data and statistics that will be of value, especially to our ministry."—Elder I. H. Evans, president of the North American Division Conference.

"This interesting book is a veritable mine of information concerning the working of God's providence as revealed in the study of human history, which is shown to have fulfilled the prediction of the prophet throughout the ages."—G. H. Heald, M. D., editor Life and Health.

"The book 'The Hand of God in History' is a most valuable collection of Bible facts concerning the prophecy of Daniel, and one that will be appreciated by every Bible student."—S. E. Wight, president Southern Union Conference.

If you have an indefinite idea of the relation of ancient and medieval history to the Scriptures, or wish to better qualify yourself for teaching others, secure a copy and make a thorough study of this important subject. 183 pages. Paper, 25c; cloth, 50c.

Medical Missionaries to Africa and the Caribbean

By Editor

The friends of Harry G. Hankins will be glad to know that he recently successfully passed his final medical examinations at Edinburgh, Scotland, and is now on his way to Cape Town, South Africa. After about one year's experience in sanitarium work at the Cape, he expects to enter upon medical missionary evangelistic work among the mission stations in the interior. To this end may he be prospered, for the need of such helpers among the native tribes is indeed very great.

We learn that Frank Hall, formerly of the West Indies, but who has been working and studying in the States for several years, sailed from New York the last of July, accompanied by his family, under appointment to the East Caribbean Mission. His wife, a former school-teacher in the West Indies, will conduct the school at St. Thomas.

Tent Pitching Directions

By Editor

The directions for pitching tents, given by Elder S. E. Wight in this number, should be preserved by those who are in need of instruction of this character.

Correction to Published Poem

By Editor

WE regret the typographical error occurring in the excellent poem by Mrs. Worthie Harris Holden published in our issue of July 24. "Within the Fort of Lion" should have been "Within the Fort of Zion," and the first line should have read "Strong stands the Fort of Zion."

Baptisms in Honan, China

At a recent general meeting held in Honan, China, one hundred and thirty-seven believers were buried with their Lord by baptism into death, to rise to walk the new life. God is greatly blessing our Chinese brethren and sisters. Some of these candidates walked forty miles through the dust and heat, and that, too, upon feet made small by cruel binding, to attend this meeting. The blessed third angel's message is rapidly doing its work in lands afar off.

Missionaries Sail for South America

By boat from New York last week, a party sailed for the West Coast of South America, traveling by the Panama route. Elder F. H. Westphal, president of the Chile Conference, returns to his field. With him sailed W. O. and Mrs. Cluff, nurses, of Connecticut; Miss Claire Wightman, of Boulder, Colo., to Bolivia; and Miss Gertrude Johnston, nurse, of Indiana, to Chile. Mrs. Bishop, the aged mother of F. W. Bishop, of Chile, one of our pioneer bookmen in South America, sailed with this party also, to live with her son.

Marathi Believers’ Quarterly Meeting

By Editor

BROTHER M. D. WOOD writes that they had just celebrated their second quarterly meeting occasion with the Marathi believers in west India. What a precious union the third angel's message brings about among all tribes and peoples! The Master's promise, "Happy are ye if ye do them," is experienced alike by all, whether the individual be a native of India, Africa, China, or a dweller in the islands of the sea. Some day the faithful ones around the circle of the earth shall sit down around the Lord's table in heaven to be served by Jesus himself. For that glad day we toil and wait.

Foreign-Language Students Needed

By Editor

The request for Scandinavian students, by Elder L. H. Christian, on page 14, should receive the cooperation of our brethren and sisters throughout the field. There are many young men and women of foreign birth scattered through our American churches who should be encouraged to attend schools in their native tongue, where they can the more readily receive a preparation for laboring in behalf of their own nationality. This is true of the Swedish young people, the Danish-Norwegian, the German, and others. The schools which have been established for the training of our young people in these languages should be supported and encouraged.

Reenforcements Sail for China

By Editor

WE are glad to chronicle this week the departure of reenforcements for the missionary band in China, sailing from San Francisco for Shanghai, August 16. Elder and Mrs. R. C. Porter were of the party, Elder Porter having been elected president of the Asiatic Division at the recent General Conference. With them sailed M. C. and Mrs. Warren, of California; B. H. Shaw, of Kansas; Bernhard and Mrs. Peterson, of Nebraska and Illinois; O. J. and Mrs. Grundset, of Minnesota; A. L. and Mrs. Ham, of Washington; and H. J. and Mrs. Doolittle, of Pennsylvania. Most of the new recruits were in the Foreign Mission Seminary during the last school year. We know that the coming of these workers will bring joy to the hearts of the missionaries in that vast field, where many more must still enter to give the message.

Conference Workers at General Meetings

NEARLY all the leading conference workers of the General and North American Division Conferences are attending general meetings at the present time. Elder A. G. Daniells, as has been announced, is in Europe. Elder I. H. Evans is attending camp-meetings in the West; Elder W. T. Knox, in the Central Union; Elder G. B. Thompson, in the Southeastern Union; Elder W. W. Prescott, some of the meetings in the Columbia Union; Elder N. Z. Town, in the Atlantic Union; Elder W. W. Eastman, in the Southern Union; Elder C. S.

Howell from visiting our educational centers in the Middle West.

Publishing Department Pamphlet

By Editor

THE members of the Publishing Department who listened to the excellent talks and papers from Elders A. G. Daniells, W. A. Spicer, O. A. Olsen, L. R. Conradi, E. R. Palmer, N. Z. Town, J. L. Shaw, W. W. Eastman, and others at the department meetings during the General Conference, voted unanimously that these papers and talks should be published in pamphlet form. This pamphlet is now ready for circulation. It contains, as a frontispiece, a group picture of those in attendance at the convention. This pamphlet will be of special value to those who are interested in any line of the publishing work, as well as to our ministers and other workers. Price, 25 cents. Order from your tract society.

Glendale Mission Opened

A NEW mission station, to be known as "Glendale Mission," has been opened in Rhodesia, South Africa, in the vicinity of Victoria. Brethren Walston and Gibson selected the farm, having been authorized to do so by the South African Union Conference. They believe that the circumstances connected with its purchase clearly indicate that the Lord guided in the selection of the particular farm for the new mission site. This last station is about seventy miles distant from the Selukwe Reserve obtained last year.

Aalborg Family Sails for Jamaica

LAST week Elder N. J. Aalborg and his wife, formerly of Alberta, left Washington to sail from New York for Jamaica, West Indies, accompanied by their little son. Elder Aalborg has been working in the District of Columbia Conference since the General Conference. Mrs. Adah Johnston, of Canada, mother of Mrs. Aalborg, also accompanied the party.

Furnivals to Engage in Jamaica School Work

By Editor

WE learn that Brother and Sister Geo. F. Furnival, of Massachusetts, were booked to sail from New York for Jamaica, August 16. They go to engage in school work in that island conference.

Wellmans Sail for Jamaica

After spending some time in the West since the General Conference, Elder and Mrs. D. E. Wellman sailed last week for Jamaica, Elder Wellman being president of the Jamaica Conference.
