The Mountains of Gladness
Earlier text: Iowa Conference Proceedings

Current Mention

— In the wreck of an electric train near Rome, Italy, on June 16, thirty-five persons were killed and sixty-five injured.
— Cholera is reported to be assuming a very virulent type in the Philippines. Eleven persons dropped dead in the city of Manila in one day, and many new cases are reported.
— Secretary Metcalf, of the department of Commerce and Labor, has ordered an investigation to determine the extent of horizontal displacement of the earth’s crust by the recent earthquake.
— The Northfield (Mass.) Summer School for Christian Workers announces the twenty-fourth annual session of its General Conference, beginning August 3 and continuing until August 19. Each afternoon during the week August 6-11 inclusive will be devoted to instruction to ministers in the matter of conducting evangelistic services. Well-known evangelists from this country and England will be in attendance.
— The Department of Justice is energetically pushing the work of securing evidence against the Standard Oil Company in the matter of its dealings with the railroads in the State of Ohio. The attorney-general is at work with the grand jury at Cleveland, Ohio, and the Standard Oil employees who testified before that body will be recalled by the attorney-general to give evidence in regard to rebate-arrangements between the oil company and the railroad.
— London, July 5.— The Japanese in Korea, according to the correspondent of the London Daily Mail at Seoul, have virtually made the emperor of Korea a prisoner in his own palace by surrounding the palace with police. They plead that the step was necessitated by the emperor’s constant intrigues to invoke foreign aid and foment provincial troubles. The emperor of Korea recently asked permission to take refuge in the American legation, but was refused.
— In various States suits have been instituted against ice companies because of combinations among them to raise the price of ice. In some cases the price has been doubled. This has brought great hardship among the poor in the tenement districts of the large cities, and has greatly increased the death-rate among young children. This is due largely to the use of milk rendered unwholesome by fermentation where ice is unobtainable to keep the milk cool.
— Almost continuous earthquake shocks have been occurring at Socorro, N. M., since July 16. While the center of the disturbance seems to be in the vicinity of that place, the shocks have been felt as far as El Paso, Tex., and Albuquerque, N. M. At the former place a street-car is reported to have been thrown from the track by the shock. Considerable damage was done to buildings in Socorro, San Marcial, and nearby towns. Refugees from Socorro and other towns in the Rio Grande Valley are fleeing to Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
— Several battles had occurred between the forces of Guatemala and Salvador before the armistice went into effect, and there was considerable loss of life in these engagements. Peace commissioners chosen by the Central American states embarked on the United States cruiser “Marblehead” on July 19, and were at once taken out upon the high seas to enter into peace negotiations, assisted by the ministers of the United States to the two countries principally involved. Articles of peace were signed July 21, and the further agreement was entered into to submit all future disagreements between Central American states to settlement by arbitration, the presidents of the United States and Mexico to act as arbitrators.
— The Russian Douma [Parliament] was dissolved by the czar on the night of July 21. Thus ends Russia’s first experiment in parliamentary government. The ukase dissolving Parliament appointed March 5, 1907, as the date for the convocation of the next Parliament. This is looked upon as the czar’s appeal to the entire people of the empire against the character and purposes of the Parliament which has been in session at St. Petersburg. The proclamation of the czar’s ukase was accompanied by the bringing to St. Petersburg of several regiments of troops. A condition of practical martial law was also proclaimed in order to forestall the outbreaks which it was feared would occur. Press reports indicate a fear throughout Russia that terrible scenes will follow this act of the czar, bloodshed on a large scale and a dictatorship in the background. It is reported that a demand has been made upon the admiral of the Black Sea fleet by the men of his command, which, if refused, will result in a strike of the men of the entire fleet. An organization known as the “Red Squadron” has become active recently in the Baku district, and is industriously spreading its anti-government propaganda. As a result practical martial law is in force in that district. Russian peasant disorders are increasing in number and violence. They are applying the torch to many estates belonging to the landlords and the government. One entire village was destroyed by a fire thus started. A soldiers’ union is now being organized by some of the officers of the army, “to prepare the army to come over to the people, when they are ready and armed for resistance.” The commission appointed to investigate the surrender of Port Arthur has recommended that General Stoessel be dismissed from the army and shot, and that General Reiss, his chief of staff, be dismissed from the army and banished.

Christ Not a National Reformer

By W. A. Colcord

THE following from chapter forty-five of “Desire of Ages” is a good refutation of national reformism:—
“Some of the Pharisees had come to Jesus demanding ‘when the kingdom of God should come.’ More than three years had passed since John the Baptist gave the message that like a trumpet call had sounded through the land, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand,’ and as yet the Pharisees saw no indication of the establishment of the kingdom. Many of those who rejected John, and at every step had opposed Jesus, were insinuating that his mission had failed.
“Jesus answered, ‘The kingdom of God cometh not with outward show,’ neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.’ The kingdom of God begins in the heart. Look not here or there for manifestations of earthly power to mark his coming.”
“The kingdom of God comes not with outward show. The gospel of the grace of God, with its spirit of self-abnegation, can never be in harmony with the spirit of the world. The two principles are antagonistic. ‘The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.’
“But to-day in the religious world there are multitudes who, as they believe, are working for the establishment of the kingdom of Christ as an earthly and temporal kingdom. They desire to make our Lord the ruler of the kingdoms of this world, the ruler in its courts and camps, its legislative halls, its palaces, and market-places. They expect him to rule through legal enactments, enforced by human authority. Since Christ is not now here in person, they themselves will undertake to act in his stead, to execute the laws of his kingdom. The establishment of such a kingdom is what the Jews desired in the days of Christ. They would have received Jesus, had he been willing to establish a temporal dominion, to enforce what they regarded as the laws of God, and to make them the expositors of his will and the agents of his authority. But he said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world.’ He would not accept the earthly throne. “Now, as in Christ’s day, the work of God’s kingdom lies not with those who are clamoring for recognition and support by earthly rulers and human laws, but with those who are declaring to the people in his name those spiritual truths that will work in the receivers the experience of Paul: ‘I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.’ Then they will labor as did Paul for the benefit of men. He said, ‘Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.’”
Let the truth here stated be once recognized, and it will at once be seen that to attempt moral and religious reforms through legal enactments is not the work of the follower of Christ.

Loma Linda College of Evangelists

By W. E. Howell

No apology is offered for the opening of another denominational school, for our instructions are clear and definite; but we desire all our people to understand the nature and the scope of the work to be done.
Briefly speaking, the school is established to fill the need expressed in the following words:—
“I have been instructed that there are decided advantages to be gained by the establishment of a school and a sanitarium in close proximity, that they may be a help one to the other.”
“Loma Linda is to be not only a sanitarium, but an educational center. A school is to be established here for the training of gospel medical missionary evangelists.”
“Make the school especially strong for nurses and physicians. Thousands of workers are to be qualified with the ability of physicians, not to work as physicians, but as evangelists.”
The type of worker this school is designed to prepare, is aptly expressed in the term “medical evangelist.” Properly interpreted, this means one who is qualified to minister to the sick and suffering as he comes in contact with them in his gospel work, or who is able to serve the soul while he cares for the body. In the work of Christ no distinction was made between physical and spiritual ministry; they were always blended when the case required it. The disciples, whom he had in training for three years, he commissioned to do likewise. “He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick” (Luke 9:2), and they were always equal to the occasion. Even Luke, “the beloved physician,” was also Luke the evangelist; and it was he who wrote the third great evangelist, or gospel,—a record of the words and deeds of Christ. Paul not only did the same kind of work, but gave specific instruction on the care of the health to those whom he brought into the faith.
It has come to be the watchword of this denomination that the world should be evangelized in this generation, not in general terms, but in the specific import of the threefold message. In developing the different phases of this message, however, there has crept in a growing tendency to professionalism. Perhaps this has not been the least noticeable among medical men, but our teachers have not altogether escaped, nor have the ministers been entirely free from a certain formal, perfunctory service. Nurses, book sellers, and bookkeepers have confined themselves too much to technical work. These results are probably owing in large part to the kind of training received. Again and again all classes of workers have had to be called back to the simplicity of the gospel, in more direct and positive service.
One of the most hopeful signs of progress in this cause at the present time is a marked turning away from this evil of formalism or of secularizing a sacred work. The distributors of our literature are coming to be no longer mere book agents, but King’s messengers, canvasser-evangelists, sounding a certain note wherever they go. Our teachers are awakening to the fact that their work is an integral, inseparable part of this great advent movement, and that the workers they train in our schools must go forth with a definite message burning in their hearts; and many of our nurses and physicians are beginning to sense that they are honored with a part in this final, world-warning movement, not merely to act as physicians and nurses technically speaking, but to work as medical evangelists—givers of the gospel in the threefold message, with their medical knowledge and skill as a strong right arm to do the Lord valiant service.
It is for the encouragement and development of workers of this last class especially, that the College of Evangelists is opened at Loma Linda; but it will provide adequately also “for teachers, Bible workers, canvassers, and others, who wish to acquire a working knowledge of how to care for the sick and minister to the unfortunate as they find them in connection with their work, to the end that souls may be saved; and also how to preserve their own physical and mental vigor while serving others.
We are instructed that some will need to qualify legally as physicians, but that thousands should acquire the practical ability of physicians, to work either in association with registered physician-evangelists or as medical evangelists in connection with some other line of service. For the development of both these classes of workers, the college offers the evangelistic medical course. For the present at least, this will consist of three years of the most practical work selected from the regular four years’ medical course, done under conditions favorable to spiritual growth and to confidence in the fundamental truths of the message for this time. Of any who have completed twelve grades or an equivalent of general school work, those who may take this course are,—
  1. Graduate nurses.
  2. Natural or practical nurses who have not been graduated.
  3. Teachers, ministers, Bible workers, canvassers, and others who wish this training to widen their usefulness in their regular work.
This course will include also instruction for those who wish to take certain preparatory medical subjects where they can have the advantage of instruction by graduate and experienced physicians and of association with them in the actual work of the sanitarium.
In order that teachers and others may not be obliged to discontinue progress in literary lines while pursuing this special study, they will be permitted to carry one collegiate subject selected from the scientific course offered in our regular colleges, and provided for in our collegiate course.
A regular nurses’ course, three years in length, is offered. This course provides a training broader than that usually given to nurses. To make way for this, the time required for the practical work of the regular course has been considerably reduced. A few also will be allowed to pay cash for part of their expenses, to gain further time. Candidates for this course must have completed nine grades or an equivalent of general school work.
The fourth and last course offered is called the gospel workers’ course. It will be conducted as a field auxiliary to the college and a constituent part of its work, and will afford opportunity to receive and put into practise instruction in Bible readings, canvassing, health and temperance demonstration, gospel music, and the keeping of simple accounts. This course is continuous from year to year, credit being given for the actual work done.
The school will provide instruction and practise in instrumental music, voice culture, and singing, by instructors of tested ability and experience.
The regular expense to all students is fifteen dollars a month of four weeks, and fifteen hours of manual labor a week. Those taking the nurses’ course will be provided work for their board, room, and tuition, which, with the exception of six hours a week which are spent in outdoor work, will be a part of their regular training.
A scholarship is offered to all who sell two hundred and fifty dollars’ worth of our own books, and turn in the proceeds to the amount of one hundred and twenty-five dollars.
The college year will be forty-two weeks, in three terms of fourteen weeks each, beginning Sept. 20, 1906.
The teachers employed so far are: W. E. Howell (in charge), the sanitarium physician-in-chief, Dr. Julia White, Dr. Geo. K. Abbott, Mrs. W. E. Howell, the sanitarium chaplain, Elder S. N. Haskell, Mrs. S. N. Haskell, J. W. Beardslee, Miss Gertrude Grainger, W. H. Covell.
A brief announcement has been prepared as a forerunner to our regular prospectus not yet ready, and may be had on application, as may also copies of the outline of courses, which will soon be ready for distribution.
All who may be interested in our school are requested to correspond with the writer at Loma Linda, via Redlands, Cal., and no one should come without first making definite arrangements, as recommendations will be required in all cases. W. E. HOWELL.

Oklahoma Conference and Camp-Meeting

By Andrew Nelson

The next annual session of the Oklahoma Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting, August 23 to September 2, at Kingfisher. We expect to get reduced rates on the railroads, and announcements of this will be made in the Union Conference Record. It is hoped that there will be a good representation of our people at the beginning of the meeting, so that the conference business may be largely disposed of in the early part of the meeting, and thus several days be left free to be devoted wholly to the spiritual interest of those in attendance.
Everything around us indicates that these are days of great peril. The controversy is growing more decisive as we near the end. Never have our people needed the benefits of our camp-meeting more than this year. All will be done that can be done to make this meeting what the Lord would have it. Brethren, pray for the success of our coming camp-meeting, that it may result in the salvation of many precious souls.
Andrew Nelson, President.

Washington Training College—Important Announcement

By J. W. Lawhead

IT will be a matter of deep interest to the many friends of this institution to know of the work which the Washington Training College is doing, the degree of prosperity attending it, and the plans that are laid for the future. Some weeks ago a report was given through the columns of the REVIEW relative to the work of last year; and now that plans for the coming year are well matured, it is possible to state some of them at this time.
It will be remembered that a decision was reached in our last General Conference to have our schools offer the full sixteen years of study leading up to and completing the college course; and as this school was established primarily for the more mature and advanced students, it was thought advisable to offer the four years of the regular collegiate work, and this is outlined in the Announcement, copies of which have been sent to our workers and other interested persons in all parts of the country. But while advanced work will be offered, it is also the purpose to carry classes in preparatory courses, so as to accommodate any who are not able to enter regularly upon the collegiate courses. In fact, it will probably always be necessary to provide instruction in some of the more elementary subjects, such as English grammar, for the accommodation of a class of workers who will be called here by the special advantages offered by this College, and who will be in school for only a brief period to prepare themselves more thoroughly for their chosen labor. For the coming year we shall offer classes in grammar, arithmetic, physiology, and other preparatory studies. At the same time we shall offer classes in the courses as outlined in the Announcement, in this way making it possible to meet the needs of all, whether advanced or not. The age limit is eighteen years, and it will be necessary to hold quite carefully to this unless in exceptional cases, previous arrangements being made by correspondence with the officers of the school.
It will also be a matter of interest to prospective students to know that a beginning has been made in the work of building up a library; and this effort will continue, purchasing first such books as are of immediate and practical value to the student; but in the meantime, should our needs outgrow our means, the condition could largely be overcome through the fact that our students are given the privilege of free access to the public libraries of the city, of which there are a good number, and in which there are millions of volumes, bearing on every topic that any of our young people could possibly be interested in, or which would be of any value to them in their studies. The work of equipping the laboratories has also begun, and the trustees will appropriate such money as may be needed from time to time to provide additional facilities that the work may be thoroughly done, and a clearer comprehension gained of the scientific facts than could be procured without the use of the laboratories.
So while the school is young in years, that fact in itself need deter none in deciding to come lest the equipment be scanty or insufficient to meet the actual needs of the situation. As indicated above, everything that is thought necessary will be provided, and the students will thus be amply cared for in their technical work, and they will also have the advantage of the energy, the vigor, and the progressive spirit of a young school.
The purpose of the trustees is to plan for the needs of practically all classes of our youth who are of sufficient age to come to a place like Washington and to obtain the experiences and the training which it is hoped this institution may ever give to its students. The College has planned and advertised in its Announcement six different courses of study, ranging in time from one year upward; and according to the statements made above, this wide scope has been widened by the addition of the more elementary subjects herein named, and no labor will be spared which promises success for the labor of every student.
It might be proper in this connection to call attention to the special educational advantages offered in the city of Washington, a brief survey of which is given in the Announcement. This survey is necessarily very brief, but it is suggestive; and a little reflection will indicate the unparalleled advantages here offered. Another fact that should not be overlooked by prospective students is that of the location of the headquarters of the General Conference. This necessarily brings to this place the officers and leaders of our denomination, several of whom have signified their willingness to render material assistance in the work of instructing the students for the coming year, and all of whom are more than willing to become acquainted with the students and to give them the advantage of their counsel on such questions as are continually arising in the life of a young man or woman. For those who are preparing for denominational service this advantage is one that can not be overestimated.
If there are those who are thinking of coming to this school, or who are somewhat undecided as to what would be the best course to take, I would be glad to correspond with such, and to give full information in regard to our work, our plans, and the advantages to be secured by the young people who attend this institution. Such correspondence may prove beneficial, and may be the means of determining some vexed questions. Address me at Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.

Report of the Educational Convention

By Editor

The educational convention held at College View, Neb., June 28 to July 10, under the auspices of the Educational Department of the General Conference, was without doubt the most important educational meeting in the history of the denomination. It was the largest convention we ever held, and the field was most widely represented. The relation of our educational work to the message was never before so clearly seen or so forcibly presented. A general missionary movement was started to bring the schools and the fields into closer touch. Courses of study were carefully worked out and unanimously adopted, covering the church and intermediate schools, academies, colleges, and training-schools. Text-books were adopted so far as any have been produced specially adapted to the work of our denominational schools; the entire proceedings were conducted in a beautiful spirit of Christian unity and manliness, the conclusions reached being unanimous. The story of this epoch-making gathering is now in preparation by the Department of Education. It will be published by the Union College Press, and will be ready in a few weeks. Every Seventh-day Adventist will want to read it. It will increase his faith and renew his courage. The report will contain more than one hundred pages, and the price will be but ten cents. Send your orders at once. Lay the matter before the members of the church, and order in clubs, or singly if you prefer. But do it now, that we may know how many to print. Address all letters, and make all orders payable, to the Union College Press, College View, Neb.

Canadian Union Conference

By W. H. Thurston

THE third biennial session of the Canadian Union Conference will be held at Paris, Ontario, in connection with the Ontario camp-meeting, Aug. 23 to Sept. 2, 1906. At this meeting there will be an election of officers, the auditing of accounts, and the transaction of all business pertaining to the conference. Each local conference in the union should at once choose delegates to the union conference, and send the names to the conference secretary, B. B. Noftsger, Toronto Junction, Ontario. Each local conference is entitled to one delegate without reference to numbers, and one additional delegate for each fifty members. As far as possible the delegates should bring bedding. This will be an important meeting, and it is desired that the delegates shall be present at the opening meeting of the conference, which will be at 9 A. M., August 24. W. H. THURSTON, President.

Legal Meeting of the Ontario Conference Association

By A. O. Burrill; E. Leland

The fourth annual meeting of the Ontario Seventh-day Adventist Conference Association will be on the camp-ground at Paris, Ontario, Friday, August 24, at 10 A. M., for the transaction of such business as may come before it, and to render a report of the standing of the association. All questions relating to the titles of the properties and other possessions which are not fully understood should be presented at that time, and will receive prompt attention.
A. O. Burrill, President, E. Leland, Secretary.

Alabama, Notice!

By A. J. Haysmer

Change of Place for the Camp-Meeting and Conference

IT has been decided to change the place of the Alabama camp-meeting and conference from Albertville to Attalla. This is a good railroad center, and nearly all can reach it without change of cars. We have secured a good, shady place, centrally located, one block from the Gadsden and Alabama City street-car line. Here we shall be able to rent, at reasonable rates, springs, mattresses, and other things needed. Bring plenty of bedding. A. J. HAYSMER, President.

The Kansas Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association

By L. F. Trubey

The annual meeting of this association will be held on the camp-ground at Salina, Kan., Friday, August 10, at 4 P. M., for the purpose of electing officers, and for transacting such other business as may come before this meeting. I trust our brethren in the State will remember that they are members of this association, and that they have a voice in its business transactions.
L. F. Trubey, President.

North Carolina Conference

By T. H. Jeys

THE annual meeting of the North Carolina Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at High Point, beginning September 7.
All members of organized churches within the State of North Carolina are delegates. It is hoped that this meeting will be the most largely attended of any ever held in the State; especially should our brethren in the eastern half of the State make an earnest effort to be present. The place and date are announced early that all may have abundant time to make the necessary preparation. It is to be most earnestly hoped that this meeting will be more than simply the time for the transaction of routine business. Let there be much praying that God may come near and give his blessing.
T. H. Jeys, President.
