Announcement
By P. W. Paulson
I HAVE received so many urgent inquiries for information about how to economize by making our own cereal and nut foods at home, and how to enjoy better health by more simple, natural living, since my article "Saving and Giving" appeared in the REVIEW of February 4, that it has been impossible for me to reply to all. I feel glad indeed to see that so many are interested in this vital problem, which will become more and more intense as we near the end, and the famines foretold touch our land, and we are forbidden to buy or sell.
Then will those be tenderly provided for who have fully trusted in God, and who have been trying to live a life of self-denial, seeking always the glory of God rather than personal or selfish advantage. Inspiration tells us that those who are faithful in health reform will be faithful through the seven last plagues. But many who, like the murmuring Israelites of old, yield to the lusts of the flesh by indulging the perverted appetite in unnatural, unnecessary, and injurious foods and drinks, will be cut off from God's present Israel, and will suffer the penalty of their own folly.
It is sad indeed to see that so many of God's people today are indifferent about walking in the bright path of healthful living that God has pointed out to us, and that so many are sickly and inefficient, when they might learn how to live in perfect health, free from pain and disease, according to God's desire (3 John 2) and his promise (Ex. 15:26). Some will choose the blessings of obedience, and many will receive the curses for disobedience pronounced in Deuteronomy 28.
Many of our people spend many times as much money during the week on useless and even harmful gratification of appetite as they give toward the salvation of their fellow men. This should not be. What a barren record many must face in the day of judgment! But every dollar, nickel, or even penny we save for the gospel by denying ourselves some pet indulgence, will shine out brightly on our heavenly ledger page, and we may also enjoy a sweet reward for it in this life. Does it pay?—Yes, indeed.
Now, just now, is the time to deny ourselves and give to the Lord. We must act quickly, for we have but little time left.
For the benefit of those who are interested, I am selecting a list of the most essential recipes for simple, healthful living, and suggestions on how to economize greatly by making our own cereal and nut foods, etc., at home, which will be printed in pamphlet form at a small cost. In order to know how many to have printed, I should appreciate it if those who wish copies would let me know by postal, and I will send notification when the pamphlets are ready. I should greatly appreciate suggestions and recipes in this line from others, which may be of benefit and blessing to all. Send no recipes for pies, cakes, confections, or rich pastry and desserts. Address me at 26 South Desplaines St., Chicago, Ill.
P. W. PAULSON.

New Jersey Camp Meeting
By A. R. SANDBORN
This meeting will be held at Burlington, N. J., June 24 to July 4, 1915. I believe the Lord has led in the location of our camp meeting in Burlington. It is easy of access from all parts of the conference, being on the Pennsylvania Railroad, direct line from Newark and Jersey City and other places, both north and south. It may also be reached by electric line from these points, and by boat from Camden and Trenton. The grounds are on High Street, only five blocks south of the boat landing, three blocks south of the railroad depot, and two south of where the electric turns off High Street onto Federal Street.
The Lord has blessed in helping us to get a good camp equipment—tents, etc. The following prices will be charged: 12 x 16-ft. tent with fly, $3; 12 x 14-ft. tent with fly, $2.75; flooring at cost; cot with mattress, 50 cents; cot without mattress, 25 cents; chairs or benches, 10 cents. Be sure to place your order early for tents and other equipment, so we can plan for you.
Meals will be served at the dining tent on the cafeteria plan, where all may get good plain food at a reasonable rate. We shall endeavor to follow the instruction given in “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. VI, pages 31-71, eliminating all things from the services and grounds that will hinder the free working of the Spirit of the Lord. We shall have a new book tent well equipped, from which all sales of literature will be made, that all services in the pavilion may be devoted to the spiritual uplift of the camp. The children and the young people will be looked after by excellent leaders, so do not forget them, but urge them to come. Fathers and mothers, be willing to sacrifice that you may have your children at this meeting. It may be the means of their salvation. Carefully study the Testimony referred to. If you do not have the book, send to the tract society for it. This will be the best meeting held in New Jersey, so come, one and all.
A. R. SANDBORN.

Obituaries
Elder W. Jay Tanner
ELDER W. JAY TANNER passed to his rest April 12, 1915, in Takoma Park, D. C., at the age of 41 years. Brother Tanner was born in Greenwich, N. Y., in 1873, accepted present truth in 1890, and canvassed for two years, going to South Lancaster in 1892, where he spent four years preparing for the gospel ministry. In 1898 he and the writer were associated in a tent effort at Plainfield, N. J. In 1899 he and Miss Ella Ellwanger were united in marriage, and they both attended Battle Creek College for one year, preparing for the missionary field. Going to Jamaica in 1900, Brother Tanner and his wife spent five years on that island, during which time he was ordained to the gospel ministry. In 1903 he became superintendent of the Haitien Mission, remaining there five years, after which he located in Canada, acting as president of the Quebec Conference and vice president of the Canadian Union, remaining in that field until 1914, when he was called to the presidency of the West Virginia Conference.
The funeral services were held in the Camden Seventh-day Adventist church, April 16, and were participated in by Elders A. R. Sandborn, president of New Jersey Conference; H. M. J. Richards, president of Eastern Pennsylvania Conference; F. C. Gilbert, of Boston; J. S. Washburn and V. Nutter, of Philadelphia; M. C. Whitmarsh, pastor of the Camden Seventh-day Adventist Church; O.

CURTIS.—Ella Hazel Curtis died in Colville, Wash., April 10, 1915. She had planned to devote her life to teaching, and had charge of the Colville school last year.

CARDEY.—Julia Palander Cardey died in Duquoin, Ill., April 10, 1915, aged 74 years, 3 months, and 13 days. From 1873 until her death she was a faithful, devout member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Most of her children are in the truth, Elder E. L.

CHRISTIAN.—Hans Christian was born near Copenhagen, Denmark, Aug. 3, 1835, and died in Owatonna, Minn., April 6, 1915. He came to this country in 1867, and accepted present truth the same year. He was elder of the Owatonna church for years, and held this office at the time of his death. He sleeps, awaiting the call of the Life-giver, whom he loved and served so long. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, and four sons. A. W. KUEHL.
HAUGHEY.—Emmit Adrian Haughey was born near Sabina, Clinton Co., Ohio, Dec. 12, 1891. He was baptized at the West Michigan camp meeting in 1905, and united with the Otsego church. About this time he was injured in a way which permanently affected his health, and doubtless led to his sudden death, which occurred April 5, 1915. He enjoyed a bright Christian experience, and at the time of his death was a member of the Mount Vernon Seventh-day Adventist Church. E. K. SLADE.
