Music from The Crown of Life Hymnal

By Editor

The fine piece of music given on our second editorial page is taken from “The Crown of Life,” a new Sunday-school hymn and tune book published by W. W. Whitney, Toledo, O. So far as we have examined it, we think this book will give better satisfaction than any of its kind yet published.

The Youth’s Instructor.

By H. A. St. John

The Youth’s Instructor is the only paper for children and youth published in the wide world that is in the hands of those who are giving to the world the last message of mercy before Jesus comes. This fact alone makes it a paper of importance. Besides this, the paper will speak for itself wherever introduced. To obtain subscribers for this neat and interesting paper is a noble work for children and youth. Here you can work for Jesus. Here is a chance to become missionaries for the Lord.

Directors of our Tract Societies should endeavor to enlist the youth as canvassers for the INSTRUCTOR. Where is the youth who loves the INSTRUCTOR that cannot do something in this good work? Take a few copies of this excellent paper, show them to the youth in your neighborhood, and see if you cannot get their names with twenty-five cents for the INSTRUCTOR one year. Read the little letter in the December number of the INSTRUCTOR from Birdie Boise, Mill Grove, Ohio. This little missionary has obtained ten subscribers. Think of this, and see what you can do. I am almost certain that the editor loves such little missionary letters, and Jesus loves the workers.

THE SECOND SABBATH.

By Uriah Smith

THE second Sabbath of the year, was, like the first, a good day with the church in Battle Creek. The social meeting in the afternoon was especially encouraging. Seventy-two spoke in quick succession. To hear testimonies borne by those of different nationalities now stopping for a time with us, English, French, Italian, Danish and Norwegian, borne, some of them, with the deepest feeling, those of other tongues expressing the most intense interest for their own people, and expressing the conviction that the message is to be brief, and that the Lord is about to visit his people in power, was most cheering. The conviction seems to be growing strong in many minds that the Lord is soon to revive his people—that is, such among them as put themselves into a position to receive that blessing.

U. S.

BOARDERS’ UNION.

By Uriah Smith

WITH a view to the best interests of the school, those of our brethren and sisters who board, or rent rooms to, those attending the college, have organized themselves into an association under the name of “Boarders’ Union.” In their articles of organization, its object is stated thus:— “The purpose for which this organization is formed is, (1) to aid in maintaining proper discipline among the students attending Battle Creek College, (2) to enable us to have one standard by which we, who room or board students, may be governed, and thus be better prepared to co-operate unitedly with the Board of Trustees and the teachers in the school in maintaining discipline.” Among the regulations, it is stated that the members of this union shall have oversight and special care for students, and give the same attention to their general good, that they would receive from their parents at home. The object is to see that the time of the students out of school hours shall be properly spent, and correct deportment be maintained. We believe this is a move in the right direction, and that it will result in good.

U. S.

Like the Old Mail Through the Forest

Like the old mail through the forest, youthful years go slowly by; Like the fast mail of the present, manhood's years, how swift they fly; We are sitting in the shadows; soon shall break life's brittle cord— Soon shall come the welcome summons by the fast mail of the Lord. —Rochester Democrat.

NOTICE

By H. A. St. John

To whom it may concern: Bro. A. M. Mann, secretary of the Ohio Conference of S. D. Adventists, has resigned his office to me. All persons, therefore, having business with the State secretary, will address me at Clyde, Sandusky Co., Ohio, Box 600. H. A. St. John.

Doubts of Our Personal Acceptance.

By R. F. Cottrell

THE REMEDY.

A certain writer, speaking of the Christians of apostolic times, says, “The vision of Heaven was in their eye; and until they reached it, their Lord had engaged to provide for all their wants, and had engaged to do this solely that they might give their undivided attention to his service. Of doubts and fears about their personal interest in his love they appear to have known nothing; that is a disease peculiar to the morbid and selfish piety of modern days. The element of activity and benevolence in which they lived secured them against such a malady, and produced a race of Christians, vigorous, holy and happy.”

Those who simply seek their own salvation, making no effort for the salvation of others, may well have doubts and fears respecting themselves; for they do not manifest the disposition of Him who for our sakes became poor to make us rich, and suffered death for us that we might live. And if any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his. One of the poets has sung:—

“’Tis a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought, Do I love the Lord, or no? Am I his, or am I not?”

Now the best, and the only sovereign remedy to quell these anxious fears, is to follow Christ in his example of self-sacrifice and benevolence. Go to work in his vineyard. If with a genuine love of souls we engage in active benevolence to save our fellow-men, and steadfastly continue our efforts, our doubts will be dispelled, and our time will be better filled than it is while selfishly and anxiously brooding over our fears respecting our own interest in our Saviour’s love. R. F. COTTRELL.

A REQUEST.

By H. A. St. John

Not a single church in Ohio made a pledge to the State Conference at its last session; or if any have, I cannot find it, although I have carefully examined the secretary’s records that have just passed into my hands. I am quite sure that the State Conference has no claim on any church within its limits. This, no doubt, was an oversight in our churches. I am certain you do not intend to forsake the Conference treasury, but as it stands we cannot do the business of the Conference properly, nor can we tell how much means to depend upon to support and advance the cause the present year. Now it is not too late to do something yet.

I make this request to churches that paid any s. b. for 1875. Send all your s. b. that you have on hand, or may yet obtain, that belongs to 1875, as soon and as fast as you get it, to the State treasurer, and report the amount you send, to me. When you send money to the State treasurer, address, George Smith, Norwalk, Huron Co., Ohio, Box 532. Be careful to put on the box, as there are other persons in Norwalk by the same name. Do not touch the s. b. for 1876 until next Conference, unless called for. These remarks are intended especially for the consideration of elders and s. b. treasurers. H. A. ST. JOHN.

One Hundred Dollars Each.

We here give the names of those east of the plains who have paid one hundred dollars each, to purchase a power press, engine, and printing material for the Pacific Coast. Others will be added as fast as paid.

The Turks Getting Ready.

An eastern paper, speaking of the present financial embarrassment of the Providence Tool Company, says: “The Providence Tool Company will issue a statement to-morrow [Dec. 20, 1875] showing that it has a contract with the Turkish government for the manufacture of 600,000 rifles, with the option of accepting an additional order for 200,000.”
