Religious Miscellany.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

—The Congregational Church at Salt Lake City celebrated the first anniversary of its re-organization, on May 23. Other denominations are also gaining a foothold there.

TUCSON, June 8.—The Citizen is informed that Brigham Young is anxious to establish a colony in Sonora, his great desire being to get away from the influence of the public school system of the United States. Mormonism, like Catholicism, flourishes the best in ignorance and darkness.

—One of the Eddy family at Chittenden, Vt., has accepted the challenge of the medium detective, Chapman, to exhibit their materializations before a disinterested Committee, and proposing that each side shall stake $1,000 on the result. Did God's prophets ever bet that they could work miracles?

—Cardinal McCloskey, the other day, administered the rite of confirmation to twenty-nine young ladies, and after the ceremony, was presented with a superb diamond cross, said to be valued at $20,000. A great sacrifice to be a Cardinal! Poor fellow, what a reward he will have in the kingdom!

—The Christian Leader asserts that Universalism has advanced more in New York and Brooklyn during the last seven years, than in forty years previous. The number of churches, it says, has about doubled, and feeble mission churches have grown strong.

—Rev. J. G. Wood has written a book to prove that the lower animals have immortal souls as well as men. This is the natural result of the heathen doctrine of immortality.

—Good for our S. D. Baptist brethren who in one of their recent Associations passed the following:— Resolved, That the use of tobacco, as a vast and growing evil, is too pernicious, poisonous, and expensive to be indulged in by the people of God, whose example should ever and in all things agree with the divine direction, “Shun all appearance of evil,” and “whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

—The regular Sunday attendance upon Protestant churches is becoming very small generally. I have taken pains to attend the leading churches both in our large cities and villages, and I find by actual count, that from twenty to seventy is the average attendance; with one hundred to two hundred in the most popular churches. Nine-tenths of the people seldom go to church.

—We are sorry to hear of another new colony for Sabbath-keepers. That does not look like the missionary spirit; like work. So the disciples tried to colonize in Jerusalem till the Lord let their nest be stirred up by persecution; then “they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word.” Acts 8:4.

—Of the 700,000 children of school age in Missouri, only 100,000 attend Sunday-schools.

FOREIGN.

—Six hundred thousand dollars have been raised in Vienna to start a newspaper, which shall not have a Jew on its staff, the newspapers of that city, generally, being in charge of that sect.

—Six hundred and sixty-eight Mennonites, from Prussia, are on their way to Quebec by the steamship Moravian.

—The American Jews have appointed a committee to locate a colony for Jewish farmers. But whoever saw a Jew working on a farm? It will be a novel project.

—Major Cole, of Chicago, is producing almost as great surprise in London, in his children’s revival meetings, as Moody and Sankey in preaching to adults. Fully 10,000 children were present in Bow Hall, London, on last Monday, and the singing is described as wonderful.

—Religious services in London are almost continuous throughout the day, and the enthusiasm is unabated. A body of police is required to clear the way for each departing congregation through the crowds assembled for admission to the succeeding meeting.

—The English revisers of the New Testament held their fiftieth session May 10. They furnished revision to the tenth verse of the tenth chapter of Romans.

THE POPE’S AGE.—On May 13th, 1875, the Pope was eighty-three years of age. He has been Pope several years longer than any other one of the two hundred and sixty-three who have filled the Pontifical chair. It is said the Catholics have a tradition that the Pope who holds his office over twenty-five years will be the last. The present Pope is the only one who has reigned twenty-five years. He has now been at the head of the church nearly thirty years. His age forbids his remaining much longer.

—Protestantism just now is making quite a stir in Turkey. The native organs oppose it earnestly. The Turkish Government has so far improved its tone toward the American work as to appoint one of the brethren upon the board of public instruction. The government also ignores having ever forbidden the printing of the Turkish Scriptures, so that the work is now going on.

D. M. C.

Who Made It?

Sir Isaac Newton, a very wise and godly man, was once examining a new and very fine globe, when a gentleman came into his study, who did not beleive in a God, but declared that the world we live on came by chance. He was much pleased with the handsome globe and asked "Who made it?"

"Nobody," answered Sir Isaac, "It happened here."

The gentleman looked up in amazement at the answer, but soon understood what it meant.

The Bible says "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God." Must not that man be a fool indeed who can say this beautiful and wonderful world came by chance, when he knows there is not a house, or ship, or picture, or anything else in it, but has a maker. We might as well say that this paper we are reading grew just as it is, as to say that the sun, moon, and stars, and this globe on which we live, came without a creative hand.

Patrick Henry on Christian Religion

THE will of Patrick Henry closed with the following significant testimony to the value of the Christian religion: “I have disposed of all my property to my family. There is one more thing I wish I could give them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had that, and I had not given them one shilling, they would be rich; and if they had not that, and I had given them the whole world, they would be poor.”

News and Miscellany.

By Editor

-A Philadelphia paper manufacturer intends putting up a mill on the line of the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad for the purpose of manufacturing the fiber of the cactus into paper pulp. The experiment has already been tried, and an excellent quality of paper is the result.

-The Palace Hotel, now nearing completion in San Francisco, is the largest hotel in the world. It covers 96,250 square feet of ground, and is seven stories high; 24,661,000 bricks were used in its walls; 3,000 tons cast and wrought iron, and 4,561,524 feet of lumber and timber. It contains 1,060 windows, 377 of which are bay-windows; 926 rooms, none of less size than 16 by 16 feet; and 388 bath rooms. It contains over three miles of halls; there are five passenger elevators, and seven grand stairways; there are 4,540 doors, 9,000 gas burners, and 32 miles of gas and water pipe. It requires 50,000 yards or 28 miles of carpet. It can accommodate 1,200 guests, besides 360 servants and employees. And best of all there is not a dark or windowless room in the house.

-In the annual report of the Bureau of Statistics of labor in Massachusetts, we notice the following:-

1. Fathers rely, or are forced to depend, upon their children for from one-quarter to one-sixth of the total family earnings.

2. Children under 15 years of age, supply, by their labor, from one-eighth to one-sixth of the total family earnings.

3. More than one-half of the families save money, less than one-tenth are in debt, and the remainder make both ends meet. They are not the debtor but the creditor class.

4. Without children's assistance, other things remaining equal, the majority of families would be in poverty or debt.

5. The average saving is about three per cent of the earnings. "The recipient of a yearly wages of less than $600 must get in debt."

-Some people may not know that the legend, "In God We Trust," has disappeared from the latest United States coinage. Yet such is the fact. The Congregationalist newspaper ascribes the change to the irritating actions of the banded zealots who demand that God shall be put into the Constitution.

-Late dispatches from Mesopotamia state that thousands are dying of the Bubonic plague. In three localities the numbers were 500, 800, and 1000 respectively. Those who are struck with the disease generally succumb on the second or third day.

-The body of John Blackford, the American actor, who lost his life three years ago in attempting the ascent of Mount Blanc, was found in a huge block of ice which lately fell from the mountain, perfectly preserved like a fly in amber.

A GREAT FLOOD IN FRANCE.-The flood has destroyed the crops in the valleys of the Garonne and Adour, has carried away all the bridges of Toulouse, and demolished scores of houses. Hundreds of lives were lost. A dispatch from Paris, June 25, says: "The damage to property and the loss of life by the flood in the river Garonne is greater than previously reported. At Toulouse the bodies of hundreds of persons who were drowned were found in the houses which were flooded but left standing. Many other people perished and their bodies were carried off in the houses that were swept away.

-At a meeting of the New York Academy of Science, Prof. Thomas Eggleston of the School of mines gave a brief account of his experiments with M. La Bastie's new elastic glass. The process which removes the brittleness of ordinary glass consists in immersing it at red heat in a bath of fatty substances, which the inventor keeps secret, and in slowly cooling the glass therein. The lecturer threw three pieces of prepared colored glass on the floor, as well as some watch crystals, neither of which broke, although thrown vigorously ten or twelve feet.

Lists.

We hope to have full returns in the lists sent out in the State by the time of our State quarterly meeting, July 3, 4. J. N. L.

Camp-Meeting

By John Norton Loughborough

Considerable anxiety is manifested, and inquiries come in as to where our camp-meeting will be held. I have examined the grounds spoken of at San Lorenzo east of Oakland. The shade is only half the size of the one occupied last year. It will not answer our purpose at all. We are invited to occupy the grounds we had last year and welcome, and are requested to consider grounds in Marin Co., on Papermill Creek, a short distance above San Rafael. We shall decide the question in a few days. The feasible sites are now reduced to two, either Marin or Napa counties, and our people have learned the way to Yountville so well, I don't know but most of them would rather we would go there again. J. N. L.

State Quarterly Meeting.

By John Norton Loughborough

We hope to see all the directors at the State Quarterly Meeting, at Oakland, July 3 and 4, and would be glad to see also all the district secretaries, as important T. and M. business is to come up; but in case the district secretaries cannot attend, let the directors bring the S. B. funds from the churches in their respective districts to the State Conf. Treasurer, as he will be at the meeting, and thus they can save expressage on the money.

We shall expect the directors to come prepared to close up all credit accounts on periodicals, whether with SIGNS or Review Office, to the date of the meeting.

The Sabbath of the Lord and the Sabbaths of the Jews.

[THE following remarks are from the pen of Wm. Miller. Bro. M. was an advocate of the change of the Sabbath, though he took this for granted without attempting to show any divine precept in its favor. But his views respecting the perpetuity of the Lord's Sabbath and its distinction from the sabbaths of the Jews are none the less correct.]

"I say, and I believe I am supported by the Bible, that the moral law was never given to the Jews as a people exclusively, but they were for a season the keepers of it in charge. And through them the law, oracles, and testimony, have been handed down to us : see Paul's clear reasoning in Rom. 2, 3, 4, on that point. Then, says the objector, we are under the same obligation to keep the Sabbaths of weeks, months, and years, that the Jews were. No, sir; you will observe that these were not included in the decalogue: they were attachments added by reason of transgression, until the seed should come, to whom the promise of one eternal day, or Sabbath of rest, was made. "Therefore there remaineth a keeping of a Sabbath to the people of God." Only one kind of Sabbath was given to Adam, and one only remains for us. See Hosea 2: 11. "I will cause all her mirth to cease, her feast-days, her new-moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts." All the Jewish sabbaths did cease when Christ nailed them to the cross. Col. 2: 14-17. "Blotting out the hand-writing of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly triumphing over them in it. Let no man, therefore, judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new-moon, or of the Sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." These are properly called Jewish Sabbaths. Hosea says, "her sabbaths." But the Sabbath of which we are speaking God calls "my Sabbath." Here is a clear distinction between the creation Sabbath and the ceremonial. One is perpetual; the others were mere shadows of good things to come, and are limited in Christ."—Miller's Life and Views, pp. 161, 162.

A Good Test.

A few years ago, as Rev. Professor Finney was holding a series of meetings in the city of Edinburg, many persons called upon him for peronal conversation and prayer.

One day a gentleman appeared in great distress of mind. He had listened to Mr. Finney's sermon on the previous evening, and it had torn away his "refuge of lies." Mr. Finney was plain and faithful with him, pointing out to him the way of life clearly, and his only hope of salvation. The weeping man assured him that he was willing to give up all for Jesus—that he knew of nothing he would reserve—all for Jesus.

"Then let us go upon our knees and tell God of that," said Mr. Finney. So both knelt at the altar, and Mr. Finney prayed: "O Lord! this man declares that he is prepared to take thee as his God, and to cast himself upon thy care, now and forever."

The man responded "Amen!" heartily.

Mr. Finney continued: "O Lord! this man vows that he is ready to give his wife, family, and all their interests up to thee."

Another hearty "Amen" from the man.

He went on: "O Lord! he says that he is also willing to give thee his business whatever it may be, and conduct it for thy glory."

The man was silent—no response. Mr. Finney was surprised at his silence, and asked: "Why do you not say Amen to this?"

"Because the Lord will not take my business, sir: I am in the spirit trade," he answered.

The traffic could not withstand such a test as that. "The Lord will not take" such a business under his care. He demands its destruction as one of the mightiest obstacles to the progress of his cause in the earth.—American Messenger.

The Blood of Christ.

WHAT avails the blood of Christ? It avails what mountains of good works heaped up by us, what columns of the incense of prayer curling up from our lips toward heaven, and what streams of tears of penitence gushing from our eyelids, could never avail. "The blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth us from all sin."

"Helps us to cleanse ourselves, perhaps?" No; cleanseth us. "Furnishes the motive and the obligation for us to cleanse ourselves?" No; it cleanseth us. "Cleanseth us from the desire to sin?" No; cleanseth us from sin itself. "Cleanseth from the sin of inactivity in the work of personal improvement?" No; from all sin. "But did you say the blood does this?" Yes, the blood. "The doctrine of Christ you must mean?" No; his blood, his blood.

Oh, what hostility the world still betrays toward this essential element of Christianity! Can anything be stated more plainly in language than the entire word of God declares, that our redemption from sin is by the blood of Christ? And yet what strenuous efforts are constantly made to set aside this plain, essential, wonderful and most glorious truth, that "the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin"!—German of Krummacher.

An Unidentified Dollar

By John Norton Loughborough

An envelope was received at this Office some days since, containing a $1.00 greenback. No name, paper, or anything inside the envelope but the $1.00. The postmark on the letter is hardly discernable, but it looks like Red Bluff. The $1.00 comes very acceptable but as we are desirous to do business correctly the envelope and dollar lie in our office awaiting directions how to appropriate the money. Can any one shed light upon it? J. N. L.

Shares. Question.

By John Norton Loughborough

Bro. _____ has already sent $10 in currency. Is it possible, or could it properly be done to issue him a share in the Pacific Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association for the $10.00 in greenbacks? If not, the balance will be made up some other way?

The above question is sent in to the Office, and although our Secretary responded by letter we insert a reply here for the information of all who have paid in money on the Pacific Publishing Association and expect certificates of stock for the same I copy an answer from the by-laws of our Association, Art. V., Sec. 1 : "Any person who keeps the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ may become a shareholder in this Association on the payment of ten ($10) dollars, U. S. coin into the treasury, and each person may hold as many shares as they shall thus purchase, and for each and every share held by them they shall be entitled to one vote in all matters acted upon in the meetings of the stockholders of this Association."

At present it requires $11.50 in currency to buy a $10.00 coin share in the P. S. D. A. Pub. Association.
