INDIANA

By S. H. Lane

Tent No. 1, Reese’s Mills and Noblesville.

Closed our labors at Reese’s Mills, July 29. The turnout was good during the meetings. The interest was good on the part of some, so that we dared not leave the place until we had thoroughly tested all with the truth. Ten took a decided stand, eight of whom signed the covenant. Besides these, some five or six are living near who embraced the truth a few months ago. Established Sabbath meetings, and if all are faithful a church can be organized in due time. Among those who embraced the truth during our meetings is the village postmaster. He gives up the office on account of it.
The friends who became interested were very kind to us, donating $13.00 in money, besides furnishing all our provisions.
We commenced meetings at Noblesville, Aug. 2. By means of a large show held on the ground near where our tent is now pitched, people from all parts of the county were informed in regard to our meetings. At the first meeting some two hundred were present, and our congregations have since ranged from two hundred to four hundred and fifty. The first time we introduced our books, sold five dollars sixty cents’ worth, and obtained one subscriber for the HEALTH REFORMER.
Yesterday a gentleman and his son who saw our advertisement and notice in the paper, drove in from the country, eight miles, to learn what Seventh-day Adventists believe. Had a long talk with him and gave and sold him some papers and publications. Last night a donation of $3.35 was handed in toward our expenses.
We are favored with the presence of many of the leading men of the town. This is a place of about two thousand five hundred inhabitants, the county seat of Hamilton county, and is but twenty miles north of the State capital. Brn. Covert and Shrock are assisting in the meetings.

PACIFIC COAST.

[Abridged from the SIGNS OF THE TIMES.]

Reno, Nevada.

July 28, Eld. Loughborough had given seven discourses at Reno, to large and attentive audiences. Deep interest is manifest. A few books have been taken, but money is scarce. This town has been nearly ruined by speculation in mining stocks. Eld. L. is rapidly advancing to the points in our faith of vital interest.

Oakland, Cal.

Six more have signed the covenant, making thirty-three, in all, who have taken a stand since the tent came here. Of the meeting on Sabbath, July 27, Eld. Healey says:—
“Last Sabbath we had an excellent meeting. Many of the brethren from San Francisco were present. Mrs. E. G. White addressed us, and after her earnest appeal, a call was made for those who desired the special prayers of God’s servants. About forty came forward, most of them members of the church who desire a firmer hold on God, but a few were making their first start in the Christian life.”

North Pacific Conference.

The second annual meeting of the North Pacific Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was held on the camp-ground at Salem, Oregon, the first session being held June 28. Six churches, including the new church at Beaverton, Oregon, which was received into the Conference at this session, were represented by delegates.
Eld. I. D. Van Horn was elected president of the Conference; Sr. A. P. Van Horn, secretary; and John Donaldson, treasurer. Conference Committee, Eld. I. D. Van Horn, S. Maxon, T. H. Starbuck.
Credentials were renewed to Elds. I. D. Van Horn and Alonzo T. Jones; and Bro. J. C. Burch, Wm. Leavitt, S. Maxon, Wm. Russell, Wm. L. Raymond, T. H. Starbuck, and A. G. Roberts received licenses.
The treasurer reported as follows:—
Rec’d during Conf. yr., $837.52 Paid on orders, 630.30 Balance on hand, $207.22
Resolutions were passed expressive of the high estimate the Conference placed on the labors of Sr. White and Eld. Loughborough. Also expressing their firm faith in the truths of the third angel’s message.

SWITZERLAND

By D. T. Bourdeau

PERSECUTION REVIVED.

We have endeavored to use prudence in our labors in Orbe from the first, refraining in all things from giving unnecessary offense, so that even the National preacher of whom I spoke in my last report, confessed before his people two weeks ago that he had erred in speaking against us. But it is easier to create prejudice than it is to cure it; and the insinuations and thrusts dispensed from the pulpit by this preacher found a ready reception with members of his church and others, and a persecution was raised against us. In consequence, we could hold but two meetings in Orbe last week. At the close of the first meeting we met at the door a mob of about forty persons, mostly children and youth, who had disturbed me during the discourse by ringing bells, whistling, etc., in the street. They now followed us toward our lodging place, screaming and trying to terrify us. But we proceeded quietly, occupying our half of the road. They passed us twice and returned.
We thought that this would be the end of the matter; but what we witnessed that night was but a prelude. The next night the mob increased and acted worse during the meeting, and three men accompanied me home. The rabble (including young women) were furious. They had been excited by residents of the place, who had given them strong drink; they said they had preachers enough, and would drive us out of Orbe. They followed us closely to our house, screaming like demons and throwing stones at us. One stone hit one of my friends, and another bounded on the wall at my side and fell at my feet, as kind friends hurried me into the house.
By this time there was quite an excitement in town, and it was estimated by an eye-witness that four hundred persons came to the spot where the excitement commenced. The next day the authorities and many true friends called on us, showed us real sympathy and said they were ashamed of such manifestations; and as they wanted time to organize a strong police, and even bring soldiers from the city of Lausanne, if necessary, they wished me to postpone my meetings till this week, which I did. They desired me to leave the hotel and preach in the Free church, that the people might not fear the organization of another church in town.
I have not been offered the use of either of the churches. I spoke again in my hall last evening, kind and honorable persons of the two churches having made special efforts to secure us a good audience. In this they succeeded. Several men, among whom were two preachers, accompanied us home giving us a warm shake of the hand as they left. The mob had prepared themselves to repeat their wickedness; but we were too many and were too well organized for them, and they contented themselves with a few whoops, and at this signal some who had designed to join them scattered in a grove near our residence.
Our little Augustin recently fell down a flight of stairs with which he was not familiar, bruising himself badly, and knocking out all the front teeth of his lower jaw and two of those of his upper jaw, marring his once clear and distinct utterances. But we are thankful that the child is spared to us.
The adversary has aimed to completely dishearten us, and hinder the work. But by the grace of God we shall triumph and thwart his designs. Even this accident is making us friends. We purpose to press the battle on this line till the pure banner of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus shall be held by bold and new recruits with shouts of victory to the honor of the God of Heaven.
D. T. BOURDEAU.
Orbe, July 25.

TEXAS

By A. W. Jenson

Sabbath, July 20, I was with the brethren at Peoria, where we had a good meeting in their newly completed house. Here I heard of seven who had lately commenced to keep the Sabbath from reading. These reside between Peoria and Cleburne, twelve miles south-west of Cleburne. I was with them the 22d and staid several days, speaking five times.
Sabbath, July 27, these brethren and sisters joined us in a meeting at Cleburne. This was a profitable occasion, and we enjoyed much of the blessing of the Lord.
The 30th I reached the place twenty-eight miles west of Dallas where I labored some last winter, and six took a stand on the truth. Two of these had moved away, one had given up the truth, and three are still faithful.
Dear brethren and sisters, pray for myself and for these dear souls, who, although alone, are striving to do the will of God.
A. W. Jenson.

SEDALIA, MO.

By George I. Butler

We have thirty-five names on the covenant, “and still there are more to follow.” In some respects the interest has been greater this week than any time before. The elements are being stirred up quite lively. The Presbyterian and Methodist ministers have preached six or eight sermons against us, on the immortality question. The latter opened up last Sunday quite heavy, in two discourses. He warned his hearers against this “rehash of German materialism,” told them “this which came with the Bible was more dangerous than German atheism,” was “worse than pantheism,” etc. We thought it was best to give the gentleman the benefit of a special notice, so we got out a handbill for Tuesday night, for his benefit, as he is rather the leading clergyman of the place. We had the largest congregation we have had since the first Sunday night. Nearly a thousand people were out, and listened with close attention for an hour and three-quarters. The Lord specially helped me. I felt quite weary and worn from constant labor before the service, but had much freedom in showing up his fallacies. It was a great moral victory.
The minister was not present himself, but his friends were, and also the presiding elder, who got up as soon as I sat down, and attempted to ask questions and throw dust. I turned him over to Bro. Hollenbeck, and I think I never saw a man so completely whittled down to a point, and played out, as he was. Even those who have no love for our doctrine congratulated us on the victory we gained that night.
Last night I spoke on spiritual gifts, confining myself to the Bible argument for their perpetuity. The presiding elder was on hand, and as soon as I finished got up without permission, and begun to ask questions and criticise and insist on what we should do, till I was compelled to call him to order, and to protest against his course. But he would not sit down, and rather than call an officer and have him put down we let him go on, Bro. Hollenbeck answering his questions. I never saw a prominent man take a more unjustifiable position.
The elements, which have kept so calm, at last seem to be stirred. On the streets there has been talk of a challenge and a debate; still, we hardly expect either. The ministers are beginning to bring a heavy pressure on their members for coming to the tent. We are all of good courage. The Lord is at work, and we believe he will help us to the end.
We have sold about forty dollars’ worth of books. We hope for much good from our camp-meeting, which will be held here.
Aug. 8. GEO. I. BUTLER.

CANADA

By Augustin C. Bourdeau

Since I set the tent in this place, we have had much rain, accompanied with heavy thunder and lightning, at the time of nearly every meeting; yet I have had a good hearing every evening, and the congregations have been large on Sundays. Last week some lawless and drunken persons annoyed us in our meetings; but I arranged to have two men appointed by a magistrate to perform the duty of special constables, to preserve order in and around the tents as long as the meetings shall last. This works well, and the interest is growing.
Held a meeting last Sabbath. A Scotchman and his wife decided to keep all the commandments. The people are kind to us, and our wants are well supplied. Some come the distance of twelve miles to hear the truth. Pray that some precious souls may be gathered in.

Thinking Anew on What Is Wise

ALL that is wise has been thought long ago; we must try, however, to think it again in a better way.

Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died at Duplain, Mich., July 3, 1878, Sr. Mary J. Dunlap, aged 44 years. The above death happened under the following painful circumstances: Sr. Dunlap was returning home from Ovid, alone, with a covered carriage. When about one mile from Ovid, as nearly as can be ascertained, a rifle bullet was shot into the back of the carriage in such a way as to strike the back of her head, undoubtedly causing instant death. Within about half a mile she was met, and her horse stopped. She was dead when found. It is supposed that she was shot accidentally by some parties shooting in a field near the road.
Sr. Dunlap embraced the third angel’s message in 1867, and was a member of the Duplain and Greenbush church to the time of her death. She was held in very high esteem by all who knew her. A husband and three children mourn their loss. Funeral discourse by the M. E. minister in charge at Duplain, Eld. Jacobes. E. M. Emerson
Died of intermittent fever, at Mantorville, Dodge county, Minn., July 26, 1878, Sr. Barbara Fellows, aged 38 years and 2 days. Sr. Fellows embraced the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus about five years ago, by reading. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not as others who have no hope. Discourse by the writer, on the Christian’s hope. Heb. 6:19. L. H. Ellis.
Died of consumption, at Monroe, Iowa, July 20, 1878. Jennie, daughter of Bro. and Sr. Perrin, aged 26 years, 8 months, and 26 days. Jennie died in hope of a glorious immortality when Jesus comes. Last January her youngest sister, Maggie, died of the same disease, in her 20th year. Thus within seven months Death has taken from this father and mother in Israel two of their loved ones, to hold them in his cold embrace till released by the voice of the Son of God. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, to a large gathering of people, from 1 Cor. 15. J. B. Bennington.
After four months of great suffering, Cleora M. Butler fell asleep in Christ, at Thetford, Mich., July 1st, 1878, in the twenty-seventh year of her age. She lived a short but useful life, and died mourned by many warm friends. Myron C. and Sarah A. Butler.

Safe Arrival.

By James White

MRS. WHITE arrived at Boulder City, August third, in usual health, and was invited by the Methodist presiding elder, who is an officer of the temperance organization in that city, to speak on the subject of temperance.
On the afternoon of the fourth, she spoke to an intelligent and attentive audience under the Colorado Tent, on the subject of Christian Temperance. Her discourse has awakened a new interest in the subject, and she is requested to speak again next Sunday evening. An immense crowd is expected.
Our post-office address is Rollinsville, Colorado. J. W.

The Present and Future.

By James White

We wish to say to those who ask us to attend their camp-meetings, that when Mrs. White arrived in Colorado she was much worn from incessant labors at the Oregon camp-meeting, and at the tent-meeting in Oakland, California; and as she finds work to do here at the opening of the mission in this new State, she has decided to remain in Colorado until near the time of the General Conference, rest and recreate in the mountains, and speak occasionally. J. W.

To our Friends.

By James White; Ellen G. White

As we have had no opportunity to put up fruits in their season for winter, we invite those of our friends who have cherries, raspberries, blackberries, whortleberries, peaches, or pears, that they can spare, to bring us a few cans when they come to the camp-meeting at Battle Creek.

Charming Sketch Offers Lesson for Everyday Life

By Editor

The charming little sketch on our first page contains a lesson that comes right home to our every-day experiences. And they will find much happiness poured into their life, who will act upon it.
We think we only anticipate the verdict which will be rendered by our readers in general, when we say that they will find a rich treat in the matter which fills this number of the REVIEW. Do not pass any of it by.
We have on hand some matters pertaining to the later camp-meetings and Conferences, which are held over till next week, as they will then be in season for the meetings.

To Correspondents.

By Editor

S. K. In answer to your inquiry we would say that your article on “The Prophecies” is on file for publication. And we would here take occasion to make a remark in general to correspondents who do not immediately see their articles in print. Our explanation is this: Some articles are like sound winter apples, which will keep and retain their flavor a great length of time. Others are like the more perishable fruits, such as berries, peaches, grapes, plums, etc. When we have a press of matter of this latter class, we deem it the best policy to use it and let the winter fruit remain to a less crowded season. If the REVIEW was four pages larger, containing twelve pages instead of eight, new and interesting departments could be added, and great relief experienced in reference to matter on hand for publication.

Battle Creek College Record.

By J. H. Waggoner

It is hard to institute a comparison of the importance of our several institutions in Battle Creek. We shall not attempt to do so. But it is safe to say we have no institution which is better accomplishing its work, or is more worthy of our confidence and patronage, than Battle Creek College. And the thought is gratifying that, since it was founded, it has made most rapid strides toward popular favor. Probably, and I think certainly, no similar school in the United States ever was able to present such a catalogue of students, at the same age. We may well rejoice at such success.
The BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE RECORD is now published quarterly, and is well worth the attention of all friends of the college, and of education. The managers deeply regret that unfortunate circumstances caused a break in the publication of the first volume. But arrangements are such that this will not again occur. It is now published quarterly, and promptly.
I have read the articles in the current volume with much interest. They are practical and suggestive; and it is the intention of the editor to not only keep it up to the present standard, but to improve it, by securing the best correspondence within his reach.
The college itself has many warm friends. They cannot do better service to it, with a small outlay of time or money, or both, than to aid in the circulation of the RECORD. We know the value of reading matter of this order. Why not every friend of the college do something to extend its circulation? We feel safe in giving it a hearty recommendation. J. H. WAGGONER.
