NEARLY all our schools throughout the world have begun their work for this present school year. It is the will of God that these schools should greatly hasten the coming of the Lord in this generation. This they will do if they are organized and conducted on right lines. It may be truly said that our schools are only in their infancy when we consider the possibilities in store for them. In the closing of this great threefold message these possibilities must be rapidly realized, and it is incumbent upon not only the workers in educational lines to hasten this realization, but upon our workers in all departments, and upon the rank and file of our people as well. There is a note of courage in the fact that whereas ten years ago there were probably not over twelve church-schools, with perhaps not over fifty children in attendance, there are now several hundred of these schools, with nearly nine thousand pupils. During these last ten years there have been established a number of intermediate schools, now having an attendance of nearly a thousand students. In our training-schools there are over two thousand students. This makes a total of over twelve thousand children and young people now in schools established for the sole purpose of hastening the coming of the King. When it is considered that ten years ago there were probably not two thousand of our children in all grades of our schools, do we not find reason for cheer? But it is to be acknowledged that much of this rapid growth has been accompanied by many weaknesses and failures. Yet when we consider the great odds against us in this great work to which the Lord called us, we are to have feelings of gratitude that there has not been much more imperfect work done than we have seen. We have had everything to learn, and, indeed, there is very much yet to be learned. Ten years ago we were practically without everything necessary to a system of church-schools. We had neither a plan of support, text-books, nor teachers; nor were the minds of our people awakened to the importance of this great means of salvation for our children, and so for the world. But the Lord had spoken, and it must be done. That the movement has not been clear to all, and that some have lost sight of the strength of the principles underlying it, in observing the weaknesses to be seen in the working out of these principles, is not to be wondered at. It has always been thus with the work of truth; and in no instance was it ever more manifest than in the work of the Author of truth. The great fundamentals of the plan of salvation were lost sight of because the one who set them forth came from Nazareth, a place from which nothing good could come: he was as a root out of dry ground, with no form nor comeliness, and he was not esteemed. This illustration fails in that this Teacher’s work was as perfect as were his principles of truth, but it holds in the fact that a work is not to be judged alone from the workers, nor to fail of support because of weaknesses. Rather it is always to be judged and supported upon its own intrinsic merits. ELDER J. C. HARRIS reports four new Sabbath-keepers at Bedford, Ind. BROTHER J. A. TRAUGH reports the recent baptism of three persons at Cumberland, Md. A CHURCH of ten members has been organized at Winchester, Ky. Two more joined after the organization. WORK among the colored people of Mobile, Ala., has resulted in leading seven to accept the message at that place. A COURSE of meetings following the camp-meeting at Middletown, Conn., has led nine persons to observe the Bible Sabbath. ELDER W. J. FITZGERALD reports the recent baptism of four persons at Allentown, Pa., and the same number at Carbondale, Pa. BROTHER J. S. JAMES reports that five persons have recently accepted the Sabbath and kindred truths of the message at Clarksburg, W. Va. ELDER W. C. WALES reports the addition of ten members to the church at Knoxville, Tenn., since September 2. A church building has been begun at that place. THE Second Indianapolis church building was begun about the middle of October, and is expected to be ready for use early in December. It will have a main audience room twenty-four by thirty-two feet, and a schoolroom twenty by twenty feet. OCTOBER 23 four adult persons were baptized, and a church of nine members was organized, at Gloucester, Mass., with Brother H. C. Hartwell elected as elder. Several others expected to be baptized, but were hindered by sickness and other causes; they will doubtless soon unite with the church. THE Indiana Reporter states: “There are now twelve new Sabbath-keepers at Martinsville. The regular meetings every night have been discontinued, but a building has been rented where meetings will be held three times a week, and several workers will remain there and continue the Bible work with many who are deeply interested.” The Relation of Education to the Work of God
WITH the great work before us of enlightening the world, we who believe the truth should feel the necessity of thorough education in the practical branches of knowledge, and especially our need of an education in the truths of the Scriptures. Error of every character is now exalted as truth, and it is our duty earnestly to search the Sacred Word, that we may know what is truth, and be able intelligently to present it to others. We shall be called upon to make known the reasons of our faith. We shall have to stand before magistrates to answer for our allegiance to the law of God. The Lord has called us out from the world that we may be witnesses for his truth; and all through our ranks, young men and women should be trained for positions of usefulness and influence. They are privileged to become missionaries for God; but they can not be mere novices in education and in their knowledge of the Word of God, and do justice to the sacred work to which they are appointed. In every land the want of education among our workers is painfully apparent. We realize that education is not only necessary to the proper fulfilment of the duties of domestic life, but necessary for success in all branches of usefulness. . . . Whatever business parents might think suitable for their children, whether they desire them to become manufacturers, agriculturists, mechanics, or to follow some professional calling, they would reap great advantages from the discipline of an education. . . . They need to be thoroughly furnished with the reasons of our faith, to understand the Scriptures for themselves. Through understanding the truths of the Bible, they will be better fitted to fill positions of trust. They will be fortified against the temptations that will beset them on the right hand and on the left. But if they are thoroughly instructed and consecrated, they may be called, as was Daniel, to fill important responsibilities. Daniel was a faithful statesman in the courts of Babylon; for he feared, loved, and trusted God; and in time of temptation and peril he was preserved by the power of God. We read that God gave Daniel wisdom, and endowed him with understanding. Those who obtain a knowledge of God's will, and practise the teaching of his Word, will be found faithful in whatever position of trust they may be placed. Consider this, parents, and place your children where they will be educated in the principles of truth, where every effort will be made to help them maintain their consecration, if converted, or if unconverted, to influence them to become the children of God, and thus fit them to go forth to win others to the truth.— “EDUCATION is but a preparation of the physical, intellectual, and moral powers for the best performance of all the duties of life.” Conducted by the Department of Education of the General Conference. L. A. HOOPES, Chairman; FREDERICK GRIGGS, Secretary. — A revolution is threatened in the republic of Guatemala, and a disquieting state of affairs is reported also from Colombia. — The collapsing of a reservoir at Winston Salem, N. C., November 2, caused the drowning of nine persons and the injury of eight others. Eight houses were wrecked. — Fifty thousand men employed in Illinois coal mines are idle by reason of a strike of hoisting engineers. There is nothing to indicate how long the strike may continue. — Forty persons were hurt, some fatally, by the explosion of a ton of dynamite at Mount Vernon, N. Y., November 2. A large hole was torn in the ground by the explosion. — Assistant State Entomologist Smith, of Georgia, has made a report in which he calls attention to the rapid spread eastward of the Mexican boll weevil, which he says threatens inestimable loss to cotton growers in the Eastern cotton belt. — The relations between Italy and Austria have recently become greatly strained. Rioting between Italians and Germans is reported at Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol, growing out of the establishment of an Italian university in Austria. — Ten men were killed in a coal mine near Wilkesbarre, Pa., November 2, by an accident to the hoisting engine, which caused it to get beyond control, wrecking the cages with which it was connected, one of which was filled with men, who, by the breaking out of the bottom of the cage, were precipitated several hundred feet into deep water at the bottom of the shaft. — A letter recently received at Mobile, Ala., from Georgetown, Grand Cayman, gives details of a great storm which swept over that island about two weeks ago. The schooner “Albatross” has not been heard from since the storm. The people are suffering from the direst poverty. There is not a pound of foodstuff in the whole island for sale, and hundreds of persons have nothing to eat. — According to the Portland Oregonian, the “Chinese Reform Association, which has a large membership in every city on the Pacific Coast, is preparing to start a revolution against the present empress of China during the celebration of the next Chinese New-year, which occurs in February. The article says that as an insult to the Empress Tsi Ann, the members of the association have been ordered to cut off their queues. The queue is a mark of submission to the reigning power.” — A circular note proposing a second peace conference at The Hague, to consider questions not settled at the previous conference, has been addressed to the powers of Europe by Secretary Hay. The note not only contemplates the reassembling of The Hague conference for the consideration of questions specifically mentioned by the original conference as demanding further attention, such as the rights and duties of neutrals, the inviolability of private property in naval warfare, and the bombardment of ports by naval force, but goes further by practically indorsing the project of a general system of arbitration treaties, and the establishment of an international congress to meet periodically in the interests of peace. — A seismograph, or instrument for recording earthquake shocks of slight intensity by tracings on photographic films, one of which has been in use for some time at Johns Hopkins University, was found, on October 21, to have recorded fifteen earthquakes since last April, which is said to be the largest number on record during a period of equal length. The longest shock ever recorded also was shown, this having occurred on August 27, beginning at 4 P. M. and continuing three and one-half hours. — That once great institution in European politics, the Triple Alliance, is said to be about ready to fall, and this change has been brought about, it is said, by the influence of the Vatican. There has come a gradual estrangement between Italy and Austria, and between Italy and Germany, the latter being the outgrowth of Emperor William’s overfriendly attitude toward the Vatican, which was construed as antagonistic to the Quirinal. A leading official in Paris is quoted as saying: “The heart of the Triple Alliance is already dead. All that remains of the once famous compact is an inanimate skeleton.” — Interest in the war in the far East has centered the past week in the situation at Port Arthur, the siege of which, it was believed, might be terminated on the birthday of the Japanese emperor, November 3, by the surrender of the fortress. It seems, however, that despite desperate assaults and the capture of several outlying forts, the city has held out beyond that date, but it is not believed, even in Russia, that the defense can be maintained many days longer, as the Japanese now hold positions which enable their siege guns to dominate the town and harbor. The city is reported to be in ruins, and the inhabitants are living in bomb-proof caves. The Russian fleet in the harbor is reported to have been sunk, with the exception of the battle-ship “Pobieda.” The supply of anesthetics is exhausted, and the food supply is scarce and of poor quality. The Baltic fleet, meanwhile, continues its apparently useless journey toward its distant Asiatic goal. NOTICES AND APPOINTMENTS
By H. F. PHELPS
We are about to enter upon a forward movement in a grand missionary campaign—a movement that is not to cease till the work is done. But, dear reader, let us not forget the youth. The Lord loves them. Christ died for our sons and daughters as well as for those of mature years. But Satan would destroy them. With rum and tobacco he is fast placing tens of thousands of the flower of the flock where they can not see the truth when it is presented to them. What are we doing to save them? Let us not forget the literature Save the Boys, prepared especially for boys and girls. The journal is only thirty cents a year; in clubs of ten to one address, $2.00. The booklet is $1 per 100, or 60 cents for 50, postpaid. Address Save the Boys, 118 W. Minnehaha Boul., Minneapolis, Minn. H. F. PHELPS. Have You Sent Us Any Money?
By Editor
From the large number of complaints which have come to us in the last few weeks, it is very evident that quite an amount of mail addressed to this office has failed to reach us. Most of the complaints received thus far have come from people who sent their remittances in the form of post-office money-orders. Cash sent in this way we can get, even though the original order does not reach us, as we can apply to the Post-office Department for a duplicate of the original money-order. But even this necessitates a long delay, as our attention is most likely called to the matter first by notice from the post-office to the effect that a certain money order23payable to us, has not been presented for payment, and an inquiry as to whether the original was ever received by us or not. We then make out an application for a duplicate money-order, and at the same time write to the person who sent the money-order, asking for what purpose the money was intended. During the last two months it has been necessary for us to make application for about sixty duplicate money-orders, because the original order was never received by us. In some instances our letter to the sender of the order has not been answered. This is, perhaps, because the address given us was not sufficiently complete. Now the reason we call attention to this matter is that we fear other persons have sent orders to us, enclosing bills or silver in their letters, which have not reached us. Such letters we could not trace, and would know nothing about them, unless the persons who sent them made complaint. So if there are persons who have sent orders to us accompanied by the cash, in any form whatsoever, and who have not received that which they ordered, will such persons write us at once, stating when the order was sent, how much money, and in what form enclosed, and what the money was to be used for? It is very apparent that some of our mail has been destroyed or stolen, and the matter is now in the hands of the Post-office Department for investigation, but we are anxious to know if there is a large number of our people who have sent us money, but who have not received what was ordered. In this connection we wish also to make a few suggestions:— 1. Do not send money in a letter unless you register it. Post-office money-order, express money-order, or bank draft are the best forms for remittance. 2. Be sure to give full name and address every time an order is sent. 3. If the date on your paper is not changed within three weeks after remittance is sent, or if the publications ordered do not arrive within reasonable time, write to us stating the facts, so that we may look up the matter. 4. It will save time, and insure prompt response to business communications, if they are addressed to Review and Herald Publishing Association, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C., and not to the editor of any of our periodicals. REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASS'N. Addresses Wanted

By Editor
Not long ago a call was made through the columns of this paper for those who felt so disposed to donate what copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” they could—for which they had previously paid, and which they had not sold—for the benefit of the new school to be established at Nashville, Tenn. Quite a large number of brethren and sisters have kindly responded to this call, and have sent us a good many copies of this book, which we are selling for the benefit of this school. The reception of these books has been a source of great encouragement to our workers, as it puts the means into their hands to obtain some money for the starting of the work. We have thought that possibly there were a large number of brethren still who might have copies of the book that they would be willing to give us. If there are such, we shall greatly appreciate it if they will send the same, charges prepaid, to Prof. E. A. Sutherland, care of Nashville Agricultural and Normal School, Madison, Tenn. LEADER.—Died at the home of his parents, in Northumberland, Pa., Oct. 15, 1904, Arthur Leader, son of Brother and Sister Henry Leader, aged 3 years, 6 months, and 17 days. Little Arthur was an example of what home influence will do for a child in its early years. His sickness was very brief, only about twenty-one hours. At the funeral words of comfort were spoken to a large congregation of sympathizing friends, from Jer. 31:15-17. W. H. SMITH. ABBOTT.—Died at Winfield, Kan., Oct. 5, 1904, Mrs. Jane Abbott, aged 81 years, 7 months, and 3 days. Mother was born in Herkimer County, N. Y., March 5, 1823. She accepted present truth in 1887, at Torrance, Kan., under the labors of Elder R. H. Brock. Four children, ten grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren survive her. The funeral services were conducted by Professor Cook of the M. E. College, assisted by Rev. Hales. ELLA ABBOTT. RUEFF.—Died near Napa City, Cal., Oct. 13, 1904, Mrs. Emilie Pauline Rueff, aged 60 years, 8 months, and 25 days. Sister Rueff, whose maiden name was Werner, was a native of Stuttgart, Germany. She came to America in 1884, landing in San Francisco, and until her death lived in California. Her husband and six children survive her. She fell asleep peacefully, cherishing the blessed hope of immortal life when Jesus comes. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, based on Rom. 8:28. H. A. ST. JOHN. ZIMMERMAN.—Died at her home near Wilsonville, Neb., Oct. 20, 1904, of throat trouble, Ida Conner Zimmerman, aged 36 years, 11 months, and 28 days. She came with her parents to Furnas County in 1879, and was married to Frank Zimmerman in the year 1882. Six children were born to them, four of whom survive their mother. Sister Zimmerman united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church many years ago, and we trust she fell asleep in Jesus. There was a large gathering of the neighbors at the funeral, and words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Heb. 2:9. H. A. JENKINS. SCHEUERMANN.—Died at Morrison, Va., Oct. 20, 1904, of tuberculosis, Wm. G. J. Scheuermann, elder of the Newport News church, aged 58 years. Brother Scheuermann was a native of Germany. He came to America in 1878, and accepted the third angel's message five years ago under the labors of Elders Babcock and Strickland, and was a firm believer in the truths of the message. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn their loss. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. Interment was made at Berkeley, Va. GEO. H. TOBEY. WAY.—Died at his home at Spadra, Cal., Oct. 18, 1904, of bowel trouble, Brother A. M. Way, aged 49 years, 5 months, and 16 days. His illness was short, being less than one week. He first united with the Friends. At the age of twenty-one he united with the Missionary Baptists. Nineteen years ago he accepted present truth, and was a faithful, consistent member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church until his death. For two years he was a member of the conference committee, and had entered upon his third year. His loss is felt by all his fellow workers. We have the assurance that he died with a firm faith and hope. CLARENCE SANTEE. FULTON.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at Suva Vou, Fiji, Sept. 20, 1904, George Rollin, only son of Elder and Mrs. J. E. Fulton, aged 7 years, 5 months, and 5 days. After a short illness of about three days, Georgie fell asleep without a struggle. The memory of his sweet, patient life, and his love for Bible stories, is a source of comfort to his parents, who sorrow not as those who have no hope, knowing that when the Life-giver shall come, they will meet their loved one where all tears will be wiped away. Georgie was dearly loved by all who knew him. He also had many dear friends among the natives, who look forward to meeting their little friend in the earth made new. Being born in Fiji, he was laid to rest in a quiet spot not far from his birthplace. EDITH M. GUILLIARD, EVA E. EDWARDS. ROWE.—Passed peacefully away Sept. 21, 1904, in Battle Creek, Mich., after a long illness of that dread disease, consumption, Mayta Rowe, youngest daughter of John and Dora Rowe, aged 30 years, 5 months, and 2 days. Early in life she was converted and became a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She gained an experience beyond what would be expected in one so young. Her firmness, yet winning influence drew many to the gospel light through Christ. In her years of suffering she showed true Christian patience. She was beloved by all who knew her, and in her decease she leaves a kind father, a loving mother, with other relatives, to mourn their loss. There was a large attendance at the funeral. Words of comfort were given by the writer, using the text Ps. 116:15, associated with Rev. 14:13. Burial in Oak Hill cemetery. I. D. VAN HORN. EASON.—Died at Chicago, Ill., Oct. 19, 1904, Minnie F. (Birdie) Eason, aged 23 years. Birdie was the daughter of Brother and Sister Eason, who have the Hygeia Restaurant on Drexel Avenue, Chicago. She was a Christian, of a sweet and gentle spirit, and was much loved by all who knew her. She was a member of the Baptist Church, but had fully accepted the Sabbath and the message, yet had not formally united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Her sickness was the result of a complication of diseases, ending in tubercular peritonitis, which began about three years ago as the result of nursing a child who died with tuberculosis. Birdie suffered much for several months, and especially during the last weeks of her life. She was remarkably patient and dearly loved her Saviour. Her parents and five brothers and sisters are sustained by the blessed hope that buoyed her up. The funeral service was conducted by the writer; texts, 1 Thess. 4:13 and 2 Tim. 5:24. O. S. HADLEY.

Laurelwood Industrial School and Missionary Review
By Editor
We have received the announcement of the Laurelwood Industrial School, located at Gaston, Ore. This school is in the Western Oregon Conference, and is just beginning its first year. The school farm consists of sixty-three acres of land, and is “at the head of a fertile valley extending east from Wapato Lake.” One building, twenty-eight by fifty feet, two stories in height, has been erected, and others will be built as soon as the necessary funds can be raised. Those who desire further information can obtain a copy of the announcement by addressing the principal, R. W. Airey, Gaston, Ore. The Missionary Review of the World for November presents an attractive appearance, with its large number of instructive illustrations. The articles also are interesting. Dr. Dwight’s article on “The Church and the Mormons,” describes the battle which is in progress between the forces of Christ in Utah and those of the polygamous “prophet.” This will be extremely valuable to all who wish such information. Booker T. Washington has something to say on “What the Negro Is Doing for the Negro in America.” Published monthly by Funk & Wagnalls Company, 44-60 East 23d St., New York. $2.50 a year. In an address before the Baptist Missionary Society Dr. A. T. Pierson drew the following distinction between a deficit and a debt:— I do not myself believe in the “healthiness of a debt,” at any rate, I have preserved my own health best without any. But while I deprecate debt, I can understand that where there is a growing work for God, there may often be a temporary deficit. When I was a boy, I grew so fast that it was all my mother could do to keep me in clothes. But that was the fault not of weakness, but of vigor. It was the penalty of growth and health. Let us not, then, be surprised or find fault if there is a temporary deficiency. Only let the temporary deficiency not become an embarrassing debt, but at once let it be met, and give the growing work a new suit. Every man who can recall his boyhood days can doubtless testify to the embarrassment which he often experienced in wearing a suit which he had outgrown. Is it not better to avoid even a deficit, and to keep the suit large enough for the growing work? Health and Temperance Number
The Health and Temperance number of the Southern Watchman, the first of four special issues has appeared. It has an attractive cover, and contains some excellent matter. Have You Sent Us Any Money
