The Open Bible in Every Home

By George B. Starr

How Lay Members May Begin to Hold Cottage Bible Readings

(Second reading)
“The Open Bible in Every Home” should be our motto. Then the question should follow: What can I do personally to aid in getting this neglected Book open in the homes of my neighbors, and awakening a permanent interest in its study?
The first friendly visit must precede any attempt to conduct a definite Bible study. If any member of the family is ill, a wide door is opened to call and offer any neighborly assistance, and at such a time it is easy to introduce points of dietetic reform, and hints or experience in the use of nature’s simple remedies,—pure air, simple foods, fruits, grains, and nuts, and the use of water in sickness and health.
If you have read in your own home, with personal interest, the beautiful book, “Ministry of Healing,” you will be able to select from among its many treasures something appropriate to read to a neighbor. Just a little is better than too much. Read a paragraph or two from the chapters on “Helps to Daily Living,” “Ministry of the Home,” or “The Mother” (see pages 376, 377, and 378 for some of the sweetest and best things ever written of the mother’s work). These good words never fail to touch a tired mother’s heart, and open it to the impressions and leadings of the Spirit.
Read the chapter on “Diet and Health” before making your visit, and then select pointed paragraphs that have impressed your own mind. A short Bible study on health may be introduced, without calling it a Bible reading. Simply ask such questions as, “Have you noticed the original bill of fare that our Heavenly Father gave to his children in their Eden home?” If they reply, “Why, no, not particularly,” or, “I do not remember just what it was,” you can then ask for their own Bible, and turning to Gen. 1:29, read: “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Here is the meat, the true food, that a loving Father provided for his own children, whom he wished to see enjoy perfect health. 3 John 2.
The experience of Daniel and his companions (Dan. 1:8-20), and the results of the test between this diet and the food from the king’s table, introduce an interesting and instructive illustration of a practical test on the diet question. Josephus, the Jewish historian, says that the “pulse” which Daniel ate included all fruits, grains, vegetables, and nuts, and excluded anything that had to be killed.
You can show by one or two texts, such as Ps. 78:12-31, with 1 Cor. 10: 1-11, that the record of these experiences was especially made for us who were to be living in the last days, to protect us against the rapid increase of disease, caused by wrong habits of eating and drinking.
The importance of using such books as “Ministry of Healing,” “Steps to Christ,” and “Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing” can not be too strongly urged. We should be so familiar with these books that they will be woven into our own experience, and we be able readily to find passages to read to a neighbor, beside the sick-bed, or to a tired mother while she continues her work, or sits with you while quieting a child.
We have known as many as thirty copies of “Ministry of Healing” to be sold by one lady as a result of reading portions of the book to neighbors. The early chapters of the work, “Our Example,” “Days of Ministry,” “With Nature and With God,” “Prayer for the Sick,” and “Mind Cure,” are all good, and so also are other portions.
The plan here suggested is not a new theory, to be tested, but is the very simple method we are using constantly in work with all classes. Tact, skill, and ease in meeting people will come with experience. Do the best you can, and do it in love. God can so fill your heart with his love before you leave your home, or while you are making the effort to bless others, in answer to your earnest prayers before leaving home, that your ministry will be sweet and acceptable; your own health, physical and spiritual, will be renewed; and joy, the very joy of Christ, will flow into your life.
Hundreds and thousands of loving visits should be made, selections read, and short Bible readings held, that are not held because fear of failure is holding us back from the close personal touch with our neighbors, into which the Great Master Visitor wishes to bring us. But let us try. Better fail trying than not to make the effort. Success will follow where we least expect it, and in a manner far exceeding our highest hopes.
It is not always wise to try to offer prayer with your neighbor. Circumstances must lead in this matter. Christ did not often pray in public, but constantly in secret. Beside the sick-bed and with God-fearing people, a short, earnest prayer will be refreshing and acceptable, and at other times the circumstances may call for it.
Upon leaving, if invited to call again, it may be well to suggest that you would be pleased to do so. At the second call, direct the attention to the prophecy relating to the increase of knowledge and its remarkable fulfilment in this generation.

How to Use Tracts

By H. H. HALL

A Simple Plan for Systematic Work

(Third reading)
The experience of years in tract circulation demonstrates that no iron-clad rules can be laid down for their use. They are “seeds” that may be planted here, there, and everywhere, personally and through the mails, with the hope of arousing interest in the truth. Some of the most thrilling experiences in connection with the work of this message are the results of faithful work with tracts, which, although presenting ideas that may be at first unwelcome, finally convict the reader of the truth. On this point the spirit of prophecy teaches that “the missionary work, in circulating the publications upon present truth, is opening doors everywhere, and preparing minds to receive the truth, when the living preacher shall come among them. The success which attends the efforts of ministers in the field is not due alone to their efforts, but in a great degree to the influence of the reading-matter which has enlightened the minds of the people and removed prejudice.”—“Gospel Workers,” page 410.

House-to-House Work

The envelope system makes possible a systematic, house-to-house work, which may be taken up as follows:—
1. Each volunteer for the work should say about how many homes he or she can conveniently visit regularly. Ordinarily, ten, six, or even four, are enough for the average person to attempt at once.
2. Take seven envelopes, numbering them 1, 2, 3, etc., and then fill these with the tracts suggested in the list given below. As many sets as needed may be made up in the same way, and delivered to workers.
3. Worker begins with No. 1, visiting homes in his territory, and leaving one envelope-package with each.
4. The following week No. 2 is used, and No. 1 is taken up, unless the reader wishes to keep it.
5. If possible, have a regular time for going; keep the work up, giving out the next number each week, and taking up the one preceding.

District the Territory

By districting the territory, and beginning new territory as tracts are collected, a small company can work a large section thoroughly. The work proves interesting because it brings the worker directly in contact with the needs of the people. Avoid arguments. As far as possible, let the literature answer inquiries.
In a church the work should be in charge of the missionary secretary (librarian), who should know just where each one is working, so as to direct intelligently.

“The Pocket League”

All have opportunities to use tracts as they pursue their regular work. After arranging the tracts for systematic work, some will remain unused. This has been planned so that extra copies of these excellent numbers may be handed out as desired by the worker. In one conference the missionary secretary is forming the “Pocket League,” the members of which dedicate a pocket to this work. Ladies also are joining, dedicating a portion of the hand-bag. “Work as you go. Be always prepared.”

Sanitarium Relief Campaign

By L. A. Hansen

Presenting the Relief Campaign

A Suggestive Outline

WE have recently mailed to our workers in this country, including church elders and leaders of companies, a typewritten form of an outline for presenting the work of the Sanitarium Relief campaign. Other literature was enclosed with it. If any worker has not received this matter, because of change of address or for any other reason, let him notify us, and other copies will be sent. Address Sanitarium Relief Bureau, Takoma Park, D. C. L. A. HANSEN.

A New-Year's Reflection

By L. A. Hansen

ANOTHER year is almost gone; we are now in its closing days. While there is nothing unusual in the fact that another year comes to a close, there is reason for our giving it special thought in connection with the work of our Sanitarium Relief campaign.
This campaign was launched at the beginning of the present year. It was to continue three years, with a given amount to be done for each year of the three. One year is gone; this means that but two thirds of the time is left in which to complete the work of the campaign.
It has of necessity required some time to start this movement. The matter had to be presented to all our union and local conferences for adoption. Books had to be published, literature printed and circulated, and definite plans laid and put into operation. At the same time there have been other interests to demand attention and effort.
There are those who have done active work in this campaign, and have accomplished much toward fulfilling its requirements. A few have even finished their part of it, as far as the required quota is concerned. But to those who have, for one reason or another, delayed the matter, it should come with much force that one third of the allotted time is gone.
There should be no unnecessary delay nor loss of time. The longer we wait, the less time we have; and the less we do now, the more we shall have to do later. The need of the campaign is not relieved by simply letting the allotted time slip by. With one year about gone, should we not put forth earnest effort to do our part? The month that remains is an especially favorable one in which to work. Let us improve the time and opportunity. L. A. HANSEN.

The Character of the Theater

THE question of the elevation of the theater so that it shall carry with it high educational and moral influence, has been often discussed. Remarking on this, the Missionary Review of the World says:—
“It is not what the theater might be, but what it is, that causes the opposition of so many high-minded men and women to the theater as an institution. There must be some reason why, with all the attempts to elevate the theater, it has remained in almost every case so degraded. It is said that Booth sank half a million dollars in the city of New York in the endeavor to found a school of the drama where no plays would be represented except those which were elevating and uplifting. We fear that there are not enough people in the community, that are of a high tone of morality, who are ready to uphold any dramatic institution where no appeals are made to lower propensities.”

Missionary Board Centenary and Drug Habit

THE centenary of the founding of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was recently celebrated in Boston and Bradford, Mass. At the latter place a thirteen-ton monument of rough stone, bearing a bronze tablet, was unveiled.
DR. LYMAN F. KEPLER, chief druggist in the Bureau of Chemists of the Department of Agriculture, in a lecture before the National Wholesale Druggists’ Association at Dallas, Tex., last week, declared that 4,000,000 Americans are victims of the drug habit, and that through the use of certain patent medicines the number is rapidly increasing.

Obituaries

GINTHER.—Adam Ginther, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Ginther, was born near Denver, Colo., Feb. 7, 1909, and died Aug. 23, 1910, aged 1 year, 8 months, and 24 days. This is the first death in the family, and it falls heavily upon the parents and the children who remain. Father, mother, five sisters, and one brother are left to mourn. G. W. ANGLEBERGER.
WHITAKER.—Died at Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 18, 1910, John Robert Whitaker, Jr., infant son of J. R. and Florence Whitaker, aged seventeen months. Little Robert had endeared himself to all by his sweet smiles and loving disposition.

FLETCHER.—Mrs. Odell Fletcher was born near Kanawha Station, W. Va., May 2, 1862, and died at Moundsville, W. Va., Oct. 3, 1910. Death came suddenly, after an illness of only a few hours. Sister Fletcher accepted the third angel’s message more than twenty-two years ago, and lived a faithful and consistent life to the day of her death. She was a member of the Moundsville church, and worked zealously to make its work effective. She was faithful at church services, and was continually seeking an opportunity to speak a word for what she believed to be truth, and to distribute papers, tracts, and books. Hundreds of people who came within the range of her influence testify to her religious zeal and faithfulness. She left a husband, a brother, two sisters, and other relatives to mourn. JOHN F. STEELE.
GEIGES.—Minnie Geiges was born in Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 1, 1884, and died in Pasadena, Cal., Sept. 25, 1910, aged 26 years, 8 months, and 24 days. She was married in 1908 to Robinson P. Kane, who, with one sister, is left to mourn. From the age of fifteen she had been a consistent member of the church; and her friends here, with those in her girlhood’s home, treasure the memory of her life, and mourn her untimely death. The funeral services were conducted in Los Angeles, by the writer. B. E. FULLMER.
EVERETT.—Nellie Caroline Boyer-Everett was born at San Diego, Cal., Oct. 31, 1888, and died at Oakland, Cal., Nov. 11, 1910. July 18, 1907, she was married to Chas. D. Everett, who survives her, together with the little baby girl that was born only a few hours before the mother died. For years she has been a consistent member of the Oakland church, living an exemplary life of faith. She died in the hope born of the third angel’s message. Besides the husband, she leaves her father and mother, with a sister and six brothers, to mourn. B. E. BEDDOE.
CROSS.—Died at Algona, Iowa, Nov. 19, 1910, Mrs. Polly A. Cross, aged eighty-one years and twenty-two days. She experienced religion in early life, and in later years united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Although an invalid for some ten years past, she bore her infirmities with patience and Christian fortitude, and died in the hope of eternal life. She leaves four children, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. The funeral was held in the Seventh-day Adventist church in Algona, the writer speaking words of comfort and hope from Prov. 25: 25 and Isa. 26: 19, after which she was laid to rest to await the summons of the Life-giver. STEMPLE WHITE.
RICE.—Died at Plainfield, Wis., Nov. 7, 1910, Newton A. Rice, aged sixty-five years and six days. Brother Rice was born in Greenwood, Ill., and at the age of seven years he moved with his parents to Belmont, Wis., where he spent most of his life. A companion, three daughters, and two brothers are left to mourn, but not without hope. Nine years ago he, with his family, attended a series of meetings, as the result of which he gave his heart fully to God, and accepted his truth. He united with the Almond church, of which he remained a faithful member until death. The funeral services were conducted by the writer in the Belmont M. E. church, after which he was laid to rest till the Life-giver shall come. F. F. PETERSON.
NELSON.—Died at Burlington, Iowa, Oct. 29, 1910, Sister Josephine Florence Nelson, aged 29 years, 2 months, and 25 days. Sister Nelson was born at Burlington, Aug. 4, 1881, and leaves a mother, four sisters, and one brother to mourn. But the “blessed hope” sustains them all in this affliction. Josephine was a devoted and exemplary Christian. The disease which caused her death fastened upon her several months ago, while she was engaged as bookkeeper in the Nebraska Sanitarium, at College View, which position she had faithfully filled for about eight years. She was a graduate of the scientific course of Union College, and was a worker of marked ability. The funeral service was held in Burlington, Iowa, words of comfort being spoken by the writer. F. M. BURG.
LILES.—Died suddenly at Woodlawn, Ala., Nov. 20, 1910, Gertrude Valeria, beloved wife of W. D. Liles, aged twenty-five years and three months. She rests from her labors, but her works follow her; for her life was fragrant with loyalty to God and to his cause, and she was a faithful wife and devoted mother. She leaves to deeply mourn her loss, her mother, three sisters, five brothers, her husband, and three little children, the youngest of whom is but one week old. At an early age our sister was converted. Three years ago she accepted present truth, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Birmingham. A large audience seemed deeply impressed with the uncertainty of life, and with the importance of being ready each moment to meet the Lord, as the writer spoke from Ps. 90: 12. W. C. WALES. (Southern Union Worker, please copy.)
DEVERE.—Catherine Devere was born Nov. 25, 1840, in Chateau, France, and died at Kankakee, Ill., Oct. 16, 1910. Sister Devere came to America in 1856 with her parents, who settled in Ottawa, Ill. In this place she married Martin Devere, March 19, 1861. To this union were born three sons and three daughters, all of whom, with her husband, are left to mourn. She became a Seventh-day Adventist thirty-six years ago, and was a faithful and consistent member of that church until her death. A large number of relatives and friends gathered for the funeral service, where words of comfort were spoken by Rev. D. Creighton (Presbyterian) and the writer. CHAS. T. EVERSON.
PEASE.—George Wesley Pease was born Aug. 20, 1855, in the State of New York, and died at Boulder, Colo., Nov. 2, 1910. In childhood he removed with his parents to Minnesota. About the age of fifteen he was converted, and united with the Medford church. In 1875 he was married to Anna M. Jensen; three years later they moved to Bridgewater, S. D. Here he was an efficient officer in the church for years. For some time he resided in Colorado, also in Missouri. In 1909 the family located near Minatare, Neb. During the last few months of his life he gave many evidences of his faith in the third angel’s message. His wife, four daughters, and one son mourn the loss of the husband and father. Services were conducted at Boulder by Elder A. T. Robinson; at Minatare by the writer. G. W. BERRY.
HAUGHEY.—Sarah Elizabeth Haughey was born at Fallston, Pa., March 15, 1839, and died Nov. 8, 1910, aged 71 years, 7 months, and 23 days. While teaching school in Marion, Ind., she boarded with a Seventh-day Adventist sister, and here her attention was called to the third angel’s message. She gladly accepted these precious truths, and faithfully endeavored to observe them. Two years later, Aug. 4, 1898, she was united in marriage to Brother E. B. Haughey. Death had deprived Brother Haughey of his companion, leaving him with the care of five children, three of whom were quite young. To these she became the best of mothers. Sister Haughey, with her husband, united with the Mt. Vernon church in October, 1902, and ever lived a consistent Christian life. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, in the college chapel at Mt. Vernon. H. H. BURKHOLDER.
SCHEMK.—Wm. Henry Schemk was born in Boston, Mass., Sept. 15, 1833, and died in North Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 23, 1910. Many years of his life were spent in the service of his country. He was with Commodore Perry on his expedition to Japan in the frigate “Mississippi,” and he also took part in many of the important engagements in the Civil War. About seven years ago the writer began Bible studies with him and his wife, and in a short time both accepted the truth, and became members of the Boston church. Though over seventy years old, he stopped using tobacco, etc., and prepared himself for the coming of the King of kings, which hope with him was a living reality until the very end. Elder L. T. Nicola, assisted by the writer, conducted the funeral service, speaking words of comfort and instruction. W. R. UCHTMANN.
PERRY.—Died at East Burke, Vt., July 4, 1910, Matilda T. Perry, aged sixty-nine years and fourteen days. She was married to W. A. Perry in the year 1860, and together they reared a large family, but neither of them were Christians until after they moved to Enosburg, Vt., in 1881. Being near the Bordoville church of Seventh-day Adventists, they sent their older children to Sabbath-school, and soon they became interested in the blessed truths we hold, and accepted them heartily. They were resident members, and much esteemed by the Bordoville church as long as they both lived. Brother Perry was laid to rest about six years ago; and his companion, in her loneliness, left the old home, and lived most of the time with her oldest son, at which place she died. She appreciated the kindness and care given her, and manifested a firm faith in God, and a lively interest in, and love for, his work. MRS. H. W. PIERCE.
