THE CAMP-MEETING IN VICTORIA
Earlier text: AMONG THE CHINESE AGAIN

ONTARIO, NOTICE!

By F. D. Starr

We desire to call the attention of our people in Ontario to the necessity of attending the camp-meeting at Guelph, June 14-24, 1900. We expect to be favored with good ministerial help. Elder Breed, the superintendent of the district, and Elder J. W. Collie, business manager of Battle Creek College, and other laborers will be present. We shall be very glad to welcome Brother Collie to the country of his birth, and to hear from him in regard to the educational interests of our people. None can afford to miss this meeting. Get certificate of your railway agent showing you have paid full fare in going, and you will be returned for one-third fare. F. D. STARR.

MICHIGAN SABBATH-KEEPERS, NOTICE!

The Michigan Sabbath-school Association is planning to open a Sabbath-school Home Department, and desires the names and addresses of all our people who for any reason are not able to attend the Sabbath-school regularly. Will you kindly send the names of all such persons that you know of? Address Kate L. Macey, Grand Rapids, Mich.

ONTARIO CAMP-MEETING FUND.

By F. D. Starr

It will be necessary to raise a tent and camp-meeting fund for Ontario. Not less than two hundred dollars should be raised at once. Much expense is connected with the carrying on of a camp-meeting, and the only way to meet this expense is by having those who are interested in the advancement of the cause, contribute liberally to the enterprise. The contributions that were made for this purpose last year were more than used up in meeting the expenses of the camp-meeting last year. Then we are greatly in need of new tents, as our meeting tents have become very much worn. We ask our brethren and sisters throughout the province to send in at once liberal contributions or pledges to the tent and camp-meeting fund. These can be sent either to the secretary, J. H. Watson, 571 Yonge St., Toronto, or to the treasurer, I. H. Robinson, 651 Colborne St., London, Ontario. Do not neglect this matter, as the money will be needed in preparing for the camp-meeting at Guelph. The Lord will bless the liberal. F. D. STARR.

A COURSE IN HYGIENIC DRESSMAKING.

There is an increasing demand for skilled hygienic dressmakers. For several years, the Battle Creek Sanitarium Dress Department has been engaged in developing a tailor system of hygienic dressmaking. This system is at last perfected, and for several months a very successful course of instruction in dressmaking has been conducted. It is proposed to make this department of the institution a permanent one. There is an opening for eight or ten persons who wish to prepare themselves for this line of work. Address the Battle Creek Sanitarium Sanitarium Dress Department.

TENTS FOR ONTARIO CAMP-MEETING.

By F. D. Starr

All who desire tents to use at the camp-meeting at Guelph, Ontario, June 14-24, should send in their application to me at once. We shall have a supply of dwelling tents, as the Michigan Conference has kindly offered to furnish us some. The rent will be from $2 to $3 each, according to size. State the size of tent you desire. F. D. STARR.

AGENTS WANTED … FOR THE … “DESIRE OF AGES.”

READ THE FOLLOWING, AND ARRANGE TO ASSIST IN PLACING THIS BOOK IN EVERY HOME IN THE LAND:
PERHAPS there is nothing that has such power to lift the poor out of their poverty, the wretched out of their misery, to make the burden bearer forget his burdens, the sick his sufferings, the sorrower his grief, the downtrodden his degradation, as good books. Particularly is this true when applied to publications that have the Bible for their foundation, and especially such a book is “DESIRE OF AGES.”
It will be a friend to the lonely, a companion to the deserted, joy to the joyless, hope to the hopeless, a helper to the helpless, good cheer and courage to the disheartened. It will bring light into darkness and sunshine into shadow; it reveals the life and character of the Master in such a way as to give the reader a new glimpse of the depth of love that prompted the Father to give his only begotten Son for the fallen race.
A copy of “THE DESIRE OF AGES” should be in every home. It will sell, and every church should have one or more of their members engaged in calling the attention of the people to the wonderful truths contained in this book.

Words of Commendation for It.

Executive Department, State of Indiana, INDIANAPOLIS, IND., March, 21, 1900. I HAVE examined “The Desire of Ages,” and find it of great value in Bible study. Along with the birth and life of Christ as found in the New Testament, “The Desire of Ages,” presents the types and shadows of the Old Testament Scriptures, and reveals their complete fulfillment in Christ. This book is helpful to the Bible student. It is full of inspiring thought, and its study must greatly benefit the searcher after Bible truth. JAMES A. MOUNT.
Rector’s Study, St. Thomas Episcopal Church, BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Jan. 22, 1900. I HAVE examined with much interest and great pleasure “The Desire of Ages,” the Life of Christ, written by Mrs. E. G. White. It is one of the very best lives of the Christ of mankind extant. Admirable plan and force of evangelical teaching places it pre-eminently as a word for the student and Christian, as well as the humblest believer. The cross shines out from these pages as a symbol alike of blessedness and power. Those not having a record of the Life of lives will not make a mistake in purchasing this. Those possessing other lives will find this of inestimable value. REV. LEWIS BROWN.
54 ADAMS ST., BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Jan. 23, 1900. A VERY hopeful sign of the times is the fact of accumulating literature written in recent years concerning the “Man of Galilee.” The last work in this line that has come to my attention is a large, generously illustrated volume entitled “The Desire of Ages,” which is the ripe fruit of the mind and heart of Mrs. E. G. White. It is a spirited narrative of the life and teachings of Jesus, from the manger to the cross, written from the orthodox point of view, and yet, unsectarian, sweet, and sympathetic. Perhaps the keynote of the work is expressed in one sentence of the author: “The glory shining in the face of Jesus is the glory of self-sacrificing love.” REV. GEORGE W. BUCKLEY.
DELPHOS, OHIO. HAVING examined the book “The Desire of Ages,” I would recommend it as a desirable book for the home. The subject it treats is most important, and has been developed by a master mind. It is spiritual, fascinating, instructive, and can not be studied without giving higher and greater ideas of him who is the “Desire of Ages.” We would recommend every family to purchase a copy of it for their own and especially for the benefit of the young. REV. T. B. RECKARD (Baptist).
SPENCERVILLE, OHIO. THE book entitled “Desire of Ages,” containing nine sections with eighty-seven chapters, closing with the ascension of Christ, is one worthy an important place in every home. The subject matter of the book is one that is of interest to every one. Its arrangement is such that the reader is fascinated by the manner of its presentation, and as he reads, he is more and more delighted with the sentences as they lead him step by step into a fuller understanding and appreciation of the life and character of Him who is the “Desire of Ages.” REV. O. L. COOK (Methodist).
LONDON, N., ENGLAND. I HAVE just completed reading “The Desire of Ages.” It is, indeed, a most wonderful book. Its style is such that one feels while reading as if passing with the Saviour through the scenes of his life, trials, and sufferings. This book will surely create a desire in many hearts to have the Saviour abide with and in them. I hope the volume will be placed in the homes of millions. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
“THE DESIRE OF AGES,” by Mrs. E. G. White. This book gives a complete outline of the life and work of the Saviour, and it will be found that this work will be especially helpful and beneficial to those studying the present series of the International Sunday-school Lessons, which covers a period for the next eighteen months. The illustrations have been prepared by eminent New York artists, and are first-class in every particular.” “CENTRAL METHODIST.”
BIDDEFORD, ME. “THE DESIRE OF AGES,” by Mrs. E. G. White, seems to me to be not so much an attempt to present a new “Life of Christ” as to bring that wonderful life itself in contact with the reader. The story is beautifully written. As an example of book-making the work is a success; paper, type, and illustrations are in chaste harmony. The book should have a wide circulation.” CLIFTON K. FLANDERS (Baptist).
SACO, ME. FROM my examination of “The Desire of Ages” I would say it is a life of Christ very superior to many lives of Christ being sold to-day. It is a work which, while designed to be popular, is fertile in suggestiveness for the scholar. Mrs. White has evidently made a careful study of the life of Christ. GEORGE E. NICHOLS.
TOLEDO, OHIO, May 10, 1900. HAVING examined “Desire of Ages” I am deeply impressed with the simplicity, directness, and loyalty of the author in setting forth the blessedness of genuine Christian living. A child can take in these teachings. I should rejoice to see a copy of this book in every home. “Is not the life more than meat” for us and our children? REV. W. H. HORMEL, Pastor Third Presbyterian Church.
BATTLE CREEK, MICH. HAVING carefully examined “The Desire of Ages,” by Mrs. E. G. White, I with pleasure commend it as superior to any life of Christ I have ever read. I have Farrar’s “Life of Christ” in my library, and would gladly exchange it for “The Desire of Ages.” GEORGE B. KULP, Pastor Immanuel Church.
The above words of commendation show that “The Desire of Ages” is highly appreciated, and read with interest and profit by all. The present is the opportune time to work for it. To delay will mean defeat. The various styles of bindings and prices bring it within the reach of all. It contains 87 chapters, 866 pages, 38 full-page engravings, besides a series of 300 smaller half-tone engravings made especially for the book. For full particulars concerning terms and territory address your State tract society, or Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich., or Pacific Press Pub. Co., Oakland, Cal.

Postal Fraud in Cuba

SEVERAL American citizens have been found implicated in systematically defrauding the United States post office in Cuba, of about a hundred thousand dollars before discovery. And now the chief of the embezzlers asks, “How can either the United States or Cuba prosecute an American citizen in the foreign country of Cuba? and how can a man be prosecuted in the United States for what was done in the foreign country of Cuba? These are pertinent, though impertinent, questions. And it remains to be seen “how” any of “this can be done, without a further developing of absolute power on the part of the United States.

Harper’s Weekly and Washington Worship

Harper’s Weekly, April 7, 1900, says, “If we had the power, we would compel every pupil of our public and private schools, of our colleges and seminaries, to pass an examination in ‘the writings of George Washington,’ before permitting him to receive a diploma.” And after compelling them all that far, next the editor of the Weekly would compel them all to “quote his words” accordingly to the views held by the Weekly. And so the editor says: “By compelling all American citizens to acquaint themselves with the dicta of the first president, still facile princeps, and by making it a penal offense to quote his words to the confounding of their real spirit and the real meaning of their author, we might interfere with some of the liberties men take; but we should be performing an inestimable service in behalf of the liberties we have fought so hard to secure.” And such as this, from Harper’s Weekly! How the glory has departed! How are the mighty fallen!

NEXT WEEK

By Editor

the “Studies in Galatians” take up in regular order chapter 4, verses 21 and onward that bring in “The Two Covenants.” This will therefore call for a study of “The Two Covenants.” Accordingly, beginning next week, with Gal. 4 : 21–31 as the basis, we shall make in these studies a thorough study of the subject of “The Two Covenants.” This will be of great interest to all; and particularly to the many who have sent to this office inquiries on that subject. Therefore, for this reason, as well as for the reason that we are now making plain “The Place of Sunday Legislation in the Making of the Beast,” no one can afford to be without the Review. These subjects are of vital importance to all people: Therefore please remember your friend or your neighbor; and give to him a chance to read the Review for at least two months (only twenty-five cents), and as much longer as you can persuade him.

IN THE “REVIEW” OF JUNE 12, 1900.

By Editor

We expect to begin in the Home and Health department a series of articles that will do both temporal and eternal good to every person who will accept the truth of them. And the truth of them will be made so plain that it will be easy to accept it. We have not space now to tell any more—except only to get ready.

Religious Liberty and Christian Missions

The New York Tribune supposes thus: “Suppose there were an organized movement to convert this nation to Mohammedanism, and a number of Mohammedan preachers and teachers came hither, opened schools and mosques, and began making converts. With all our boasted liberty of conscience, should we not feel strongly moved against them, and would there not be a clamor from some earnest Christian people for suppression, forcible or otherwise, of the propaganda? Yet just as we should regard such a movement, the Turks regard the incursion of Christian missionaries into their country.” All of which is only to say that “we” are in no wise different from the Turks in the matter of freedom of religion.

Shorter Subscription Terms

By Editor

This week we have inserted in our “Terms in Advance,” on the first page, the subscription price for “ten months,” $1.25; and also for “eight months,” one dollar. Thus, those who are unable to send the full yearly subscription price, may take their choice of seven other shorter subscriptions. We honor all subscriptions, whether they are for one year, accompanied by $1.50, or for one month, at fifteen cents.

Reprinting the Sinner’s Appeal

By Editor

So MANY orders have been received for extra copies of the REVIEW in which was printed that sinner’s appeal to the ministers, that the edition has been exhausted; and still the orders come. Next week, therefore, to satisfy calls, we shall reprint that good “sermon.” Send in your orders, and spread that appeal everywhere. It is good, and it ought to be put into the hands of every minister in the land.

Clergyman Seeks Trout Fishing

In the Church Times of London, Feb. 9, 1900, we find the advertisement of a "beneficed clergyman with own bishop's reference," thus: "Sunday duty wanted, any time after March, for several weeks, where good trout-fishing can be had. White trout preferred." It is evident that the fishing, especially "white trout" fishing, is wanted more than is the "Sunday duty."

The German Emperor’s Message

A FEW days ago the German emperor sent through the German ambassador in London, by whom it was given to the press, the following message to the British people:—
Tell the British people that my first hope, now and always, is the preservation of international peace, and my second the consolidation and maintenance of good relations between Germany and Great Britain. Between these two nations no essential cause of difference exists. Nor should one arise between them. There should be no rivalry other than friendly competition in furthering the economic and social progress of their people.

The Principle of Reciprocity

AT a dinner recently in New York City, the Chinese minister to the United States, speaking of the principle of reciprocity as the rule of conduct in home and business and government, said: “It was to the same effect said by him,—whom shall I say? your Prophet, your Saviour,—‘What you would have others do to you, do the same to them.’ Whether it is a merchant, whether it is a tradesman, whether it is a benefactor, or whether it be a nation, if we follow this sound principle, we shall have no quarrel, no dispute, and no cause for war.” And upon this the New York Observer remarks: “It should certainly produce the effect of putting the Christian nations on their moral mettle to have a Chinese diplomat evince so clear an appreciation of their duty and opportunities, as judged out of their own Book, and by the example and precepts of their own Master.” Oh, no; that will not put them on their mettle. They are already on their mettle, as well as on their metal, in demonstrating their superiority to the “heathen” and “hermit nation” of China.

Professor Dietzel Predicts U.S. Downfall

PROF. HEINRICH DIETZEL, of the University of Bonn, Germany, has written an article for The Nation, of Berlin, declaring that “it will be impossible for the United States to induce the South American states to co-operate economically against Europe.” The writer contends that “Brazil, Argentine, Chile, and the other governments of South America are in greater need of friendly relations with Europe than with the United States.” He alleges that “American agricultural exports are already threatened by the increasing exports of Argentina,” and he sees in the enormous increase of American manufactured exports a factor steadily “undermining American protectionism.” As a result of all this, Professor Dietzel predicts “the downfall of the United States.”
