TEMPTATION TO DOUBT.
By Samuel M. Zwemer
[By Samuel M. Zwemer, D.D., in Missionary Review.]
“If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.” “Thou still clingest to that vainglorious confidence that Thou art the Son of God, carried away by those illusory scenes at the Jordan. Thou wast born in a stable—but Thou art the Son of God! A carpenter’s roof supplied Thee with a home, and in the obscurity of a despicable town of Galilee Thou hast spent thirty years—yet still Thou art the Son of God! Be it so. But, after that, surely Thy days of trial should have an end. Why linger for weeks in this desert, wandering among the wild beasts and craggy rocks, unhonored, unattended, unpitied, ready to starve? Is this befitting the Son of God?”
In a similar way does doubt assail the missionary—distrust in God and despair of His love. And as the temptation, so is its occasion and environment. There is a solemn contrast in every missionary’s life between the hour of farewell to the homeland and that of arrival on the field. One has only to read personal missionary correspondence (not the printed reports), or the letters of Henry Martyn, for example, to find abundant proof. Every missionary’s diary will show it.
It is one thing, in the fervor of consecration and enthusiasm before an assembled congregation, to feel hands laid on you, and to be set apart to the work (a work which makes you conscious of the heroic, and this self-consciousness is fostered by sympathetic friends); it is a day on the Mount of Transfiguration; on the next, you descend to the Jewish rabble and the demoniac.
It is quite another thing to arrive on the field and find every circumstance and condition different from the ideal picture painted on the imagination; to find your whole environment not only strange (yea, often shocking), but to feel bitterly disappointed that things are not as you expected them to be. Yet this is the experience of nearly every one, I believe, who goes out to the foreign field; in a sense, utterly opposite to the words of the Queen of Sheba: “The half has never been told.” It is too often a one-sided picture that is drawn in missionary books and reports. We are all sinners, and our reports are too roseate. A recent writer says:—
How hard it is for the missionary to be patient when his friends at home are so impatient, and how great is the temptation to embellish the account of his annual labors. I fear there are grave scandals connected with reports, but the fault lies with the subscribers rather than with the missionary agents. For the simple, pious folk who take great interest in missionary enterprise, but who are entirely ignorant of the circumstances of missionary work, the sun must always shine; a cloud on the horizon is intolerable; this is, as it were, the condition of their support. The result is the issue of reports positively grotesque in their optimism, in which Scripture texts jostle strangely with palpably exaggerated retrospects and forecasts.
To the missionary comes a sudden awakening as out of a dream—a realism that shocks the ideal as when a man falls upon a live electric wire. And the result—a spiritual desert and the tempter!
You have left civilization, and are now with the wild beasts. Home and companionship are behind—you stand, or fall, by yourself. The moral atmosphere is a miasma that oppresses, makes faint, stifles. You learn for the first time from the window of the mission house that the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. You see the last verses of the first chapter of Romans in a daily panorama on the street. You are ignorant of the language, and yet are surrounded by it; its horrid tentacles take hold of you like a devil-fish on all sides;13you do not look at the language, but it rises like a monster and looks at you. You thought you came to preach, but find that you have come to wait (to wait in such a wilderness!), and to hunger and thirst for the privilege of preaching forty days and forty nights. A horror of great darkness comes upon you, and the horror is only the greater because you hide it in your bosom, and never whisper it to the committee at home or your fellow missionary. Except that you find relief in prayer, your spiritual life becomes a desert.
Now, I ask you candidly, where could there be a better opportunity for the Tempter? It is the supreme test.
At the London Missionary Conference, Professor Drummond said:—
I have met men in mission fields in different parts of the world who make zealous addresses at evangelistic meetings at home, who left for their fields of labor laden with testimonials, but who became utterly demoralized within a year’s time. . . . I would say that the thing to be certain of in picking a man for such a field as Africa, where the strain upon a man’s character is tremendous, and the strain upon his spiritual life, owing to isolation, even more tremendous, that we must be sure that we are sending a man of character and heart morally sound to the core.
O, Thou Son of God, who didst overcome for us, save Thy disciples with such perfect trust, and make them to so live by the Word from the mouth of God that their moral fiber may endure the strain! Under the awful weight the cables may stretch and swing and twist and tremble, but while He holds them they can not snap asunder. “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.” “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.”
A SABBATH AT THE MATABELE MISSION.
By W. S. Hyatt
[W. S. Hyatt, in South African Missionary.]
NO DOUBT many would be interested to know how we spend the Sabbath at the Mission farm, so I will give last Sabbath’s experience. I am sure you will conclude that we are busy most of the day, and have but little time to ourselves.
Friday evening at sundown we met in the church, and spent about an hour in prayer, testimonies, etc. All seemed to enjoy the services very much. At the close of the meeting there was a class of those desiring baptism, who met at my house, and I spent an hour instructing them, and trying to prepare them for this important step. It is not a small task to take these poor heathen, and educate their minds to that point where they will understand the claims of the Gospel, and then have a heart to walk in the requirements of the Lord. During the time I had this class, Brother Sturdevant was with the others while they studied their Sabbath-school lessons. They retired before 9:00 o’clock.
Before breakfast, Sabbath morning, the boys did the chores, and then the herdboys took the cattle and goats to the pasture. Breakfast was at 7:00 o’clock, and at 8:00 the teachers of the Sabbath-school met at Brother Sturdevant’s for study of their lesson. The teaching is all done by the natives.
At 10 o’clock Sabbath-school convened, and continued for about an hour. The lesson was the 29th psalm. There were eighty young people in twelve classes, and the teachers seemed to take great interest in their work. Near the close of the school we took up the monthly collection which amounted to twenty-one shillings. For a long time the school tried to have weekly collections, but money was so scarce that they seemed to amount to nothing. Now we take them but once a month, and we get a good offering, much more than we did when we took them every week.
At 11 o’clock Elder Sturdevant took the service and Jim acted as interpreter. The text was taken from Rev. 22:17, and the Lord blessed as Brother Sturdevant gave the invitation. “Whosoever will may come.” There were about one hundred at this meeting. Every Sabbath there are a few new ones who come into the meeting and the Sabbath-school.
Following this meeting, the few white brethren and sisters met at one of the houses for Sabbath-school and meeting which continued for a little over an hour. Dinner was at 2:00 o’clock.
Immediately after dinner, we went to the kraals to hold, what we call in America, cottage-meetings. Each leader took from two to four others with him to assist in the singing and prayer.
On the previous Friday afternoon Elder Sturdevant gave all the young teachers a lesson on the subject of “Christ the Redeemer” from Isa. 43:1.
In this way the same subject is given to all the kraals, and through the boys Brother Sturdevant was able to speak to 268 people in twelve kraals. These are from one to twenty miles from the Mission. In this way we are able to reach a large number of natives about us, and we are trying to give them the message as quickly as possible.
But the people are slow to accept the Gospel. The most of the people worship the devil, and ask where he came from in the same way that white people ask where Cain got his wife. They fulfil Rev. 9:20 in that they openly worship Satan, and have their stones and sacred goats for worship. But we have confidence that the power of the Gospel will reach their hearts if we work faithfully.
It would do you good to have heard the boys pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to go with them as they should speak to the people. We visited as many kraals as we could with them. The day closed by meeting at the chapel for a few words of prayer and praise for the blessings of the day. We thank the Lord that we can have a part in this work.
CEYLON
By H. A.
Through the bountiful kindness of our heavenly Father, we are comfortably settled in what is called “The Eden of the East.” Ceylon has a population of over 3,000,000, and all these precious souls await the sound of the Third Angel’s Message. In opening up the work in Colombo, which is the capital of Ceylon, we stand in the way of nations; for the beautiful and spacious harbor of Colombo always contains a good complement of ships representing all the great nations of the world. This in itself is a vast and needy field for missionary operations.
Since coming to the island, we have found avenues opening before us, and especially would we mention the leading of the Spirit of God to the very house in which we live. Contrary to our first desires, we have settled down with a very dear family who are seeking for light and truth. I have been able to conduct studies with them, also they have invited their friends in, and in this way the truth is already entering the homes of the people. The gentleman of the house is a schoolmaster, and by his kind invitation I am privileged to conduct a Bible class each morning with his students. We trust this may be the means of planting the seeds of truth in the hearts of the young, also of gaining us an entrance into the homes of their parents.
Through the kindness of the editor of the Ceylon Independent, I am contributing an article each week for the benefit of the subscribers to that paper. We believe these articles will be appreciated by the general public, and cause a demand for more important and urgent truths for this time.
When we look around and see the great need of this unentered field, and the small equipment of laborers, we feel to pray as never before that the “Lord of the harvest may send forth more laborers into His vineyard.” Now is the time for earnest labor, and for the complete dedication of all that we have, and are, to the service of God. We know that in a few short years this work will close, and then it will be too late to offer either ourselves or our means. May the good Spirit of the Lord touch every heart, and may there be a hearty response from every member of our royal cause, both now and until Jesus shall come, for His name’s sake. —H. A., in Eastern Tidings.
A PLEA FOR THE HEATHEN.
By Anon.
The night of the world is falling,
And, brothers! no common cry
Comes out from the distance, calling
The multitudes passing by:—
“O leave us not here to perish!
Christ died not alone for you,
Your dear ones ye well may cherish,
But can ye not love us, too?
“Glad tidings your own heart filling
Should surely o’erflow to all;
Answer! Are none of you willing
To follow your Master’s call?”
It is not for the want of pleading
Men go on their way unstirred,
But the Gospel they pass unheeding
The heathen have never heard.
The sweetness of God’s salvation
Is still to the world unknown,
And many a mighty nation
Does homage to wood and stone.
The Master Himself will measure
Your part in this solemn call;
He noticed the rich man’s treasure,
He valued the widow’s all.
The world for its Lord is waiting!
O, with pity unfelt before,
And a zeal that is unabating,
Press in through the open door.
Go ye! ’tis a high endeavor!
And happy are all who toil;
The battle is not forever,
And you shall divide the spoil.
—Anon.
OUR WORK AND WORKERS.
A note from Sister A. R. Spencer, of Fall Brook, Tioga County, Pa., says that two more in that vicinity have commenced keeping the Sabbath of the Lord.
The West Michigan Herald says that Sister E. G. White was in Battle Creek September 6, and spoke to a large audience in the tabernacle for an hour and a half.
In Eastern Tidings (published in Calcutta) Sister W. O. James reports that four persons have lately accepted the Sabbath in Simla, India. She also says that the Lord is blessing the periodical work.
On the 28th ult. a new church and school building was dedicated at Hampton, Iowa. This is the result of tent-meetings held by Brother E. E. Gardiner and wife. Brother G. G. Rupert conducted the dedicatory services.
In the Wisconsin Reporter, Swin Swinson notes the baptism of five converts at Rhinelander, Wis. In the same paper Brother N. P. Neilson says that forty-five persons were baptized at the recent camp-meeting held at Oshkosh.
At the North Michigan camp-meeting, which was recently held at Mancelona, forty candidates were baptized in a small lake near the camp. They expect to have twelve church schools in this conference the present season. Brother S. E. Wright has been re-elected president.
At the late session of Wisconsin Conference, Brother Wm. Covert was re-elected president. Four new churches were admitted to the conference: Hines, with sixteen members; Bruce, with thirteen; Appleton, with thirteen, and Black Creek, with ten. Wisconsin now has 101 church organizations. Brethren R. T. Dowsett and L. E. Sufficool were ordained to the Gospel ministry.
“The message of Revelation 14 is the message that we are to bear to the world. It is the bread of life for these last days. Millions of human beings are perishing in ignorance and iniquity. But many of those to whom God has committed the stores of life look upon these souls with indifference. Many forget that to them has been entrusted the bread of life for those starving for salvation.”
In the matter of raising the $100,000 fund for denominational headquarters in Washington, D. C., the following example is worthy of note and pattern by our own people. It is from a letter published in the Review: “Enclosed find money order for five dollars for the $100,000 fund, and I will try to pay one dollar a month until it is raised. I am a Methodist minister’s wife, and this is by self-denial. May the Lord bless and prosper you, is my prayer.”
We are requested to warn our people in the United States against imposition by a family who travel about the country professing to be Adventists, but whose object is to get money by telling pitiful stories. The family consists of husband, wife, and four children. The man is about thirty-five years old, below medium height, has small, black eyes, dark, curly hair, round face, and turned-up nose. The wife is small and slender, with features resembling the man’s, but light hair. Both seem to know many of our ministers and churches.
Brother E. L. Sanford reports the organization of a church of nine members in the Reed Lick Valley, Madison County, Ky. The organization is known as the Beech Grove Seventh-day Adventist Church, and is mainly the result of labor by Brother John W. Stein, Dr. Godsmark, and others. One new member has been added since the organization. At the time of writing, Brother Sanford was engaged in tent work at Winchester, Ky., in connection with Dr. Godsmark and wife, and five had decided to “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” The prospect was good for further success.
From the Union Conference Record we gather these items of progress in Australia; Brother R. Hare reports the baptism of five candidates at Ballarat, and five at Bunyip, Victoria. Avondale School, Cooranbong, N. S. W., reports an enrolment of 170 students. In all the conferences comprising the Union Conference (seven in all) financial gain is reported, excepting in New South Wales, which shows a small deficit. The average weekly circulation of the Australasian Signs of the Times for the past14year was 9,614. The Union Conference, at its late session, decided to send Brethren G. F. Jones and R. A. Caldwell to Singapore, an island of the Straits Settlements, off the Malay Peninsula.
A letter from Brother Ole P. Norderhus, in the Dakota Worker, tells of the work at Lillehammer, Norway. He says the effort in that place brought out a small company of believers. Six sisters from there were baptized at Christiania during the last conference session, and several more are keeping the Sabbath. Some who accepted the Sabbath message had to give up their places of work and go to other towns. Referring to the work in general, he says: “Quite a number have been baptized and added to our churches the past year, but so many emigrate that the conference membership does not increase much. Times are hard here, and the crop prospect is poor over the best part of Norway.”
For five years Brother Freeman has been laboring in Basutoland, establishing and building up the mission at the foot of Kolo Mountain. As he had no companions except native workers, he had a lonely experience; but the Lord was with him, and he stood faithfully at his post. Through the recommendation of the Union Conference Committee, Brother Freeman will now transfer his work to the Orange River Colony, which has long been a neglected field. He will first visit the Sabbath-keepers in the colony, effecting such organizations as may be advisable, and will then carry the truth to the homes of the people. Other workers, especially canvassers, are greatly needed for that colony.—South African Missionary.
AFRICAN PYGMIES.
Some specimens of the little Pygmy race of Central Africa are on exhibition at St. Louis. They were brought over by Rev. S. P. Verner, a missionary of long experience. The venture was attended with considerable labor and expense. After securing permission from the chief to bring them to America, and the consent of a company to come, some of them backed out at the last moment. Then, when they arrived at the place on the Kongo where they were to take a steamer, others were afraid of the boat and would go no farther. Writing for the New York Independent, Mr. Verner says:—
“The impression which the Pygmies have received of this country has not been altogether gratifying. Since they have been here they have covered me with confusion over and over again, by referring to the fact that when I was in their country they met me with presents, with food and palm wine, and with everything that could be desired, and gave me a great welcome; but since they have come here the white people do nothing but stare at them and laugh at them. It would make them much happier, they say, if the white people would treat them with the same politeness with which they treated me.”
And indeed it is not very complimentary to the assumed superior culture of the boastful white race to be outdone in politeness by a despised race of little savages. A so-called “Christian” people, who for that reason ought to be a missionary people, should take the opportunity to show at least a spirit of kindness and respect to the representatives of a race to whom they presumably expect to send the Gospel of salvation. Instead, however, these Pygmies are learning, first of all, that the chief desire of the white race is money; and they are following the example by demanding a “nickel” for every request made of them.
Mr. Verner says of these little people that they measure from three feet nine inches to four feet ten inches in height; that the average is probably four feet and a half or less. He says the pure Batwa Pygmies live entirely by hunting, and raise no crops at all. They exchange their meat for the farinaceous food raised by the larger people, and also eat large quantities of roots and herbs found in the forests. They kill and eat the antelope, buffalo, elephant, python, panther, leopard, wildcat, lynx, wild boar, and hippopotamus, besides rats, locusts, grasshoppers, ants, wood-worms, and caterpillars, which they dry in the sun. Their principal weapon is a bow with bamboo arrows dipped in poison. They have also metal weapons—spears, knives, and metal-tipped arrows, which they obtain by barter from the other natives. Their houses are round huts with round tops, covered with brush or leaves, and are about five feet high and six feet in diameter.
A Chinese Farmer’s Costly Faith
A FAITH that doesn't cost anything is not worth much. So thought a Chinese Farmer at Lanchau, China. After being convinced of the truth for some time, he was finally impressed that to be a Christian he could not encourage the opium traffic. So he ran a harrow through his poppy field until the whole crop was uprooted. And now there is at least one more happy Christian at Lanchau. And many other Christians who hear of his action will be glad to learn of the courage of his faith.

FROM LOS ANGELES, CAL.
Following closely after the series of tent-meetings, the annual camp-meeting at Los Angeles was attended by a large number of the brethren from all over Southern California. Nearly two hundred family tents were pitched, and the services were of much interest. The last Sabbath the altar service was specially refreshing, about two hundred persons indicating a desire for renewed consecration or conversion by going forward to ask for the prayers of God's people.
Brethren W. B. White, president of the Pacific Union Conference; and A. S. Kellogg, president of the Northern California Conference, were among the visiting ministers. Others of the ministry present were Brethren Clarence Santee, president of the Southern California Conference, R. S. Owen, W. M. Healey, F. I. Richardson, W. W. Simpson, J. F. Ballenger, E. S. Ballenger, W. E. Knight, S. T. Hare, H. E. Giddings, A. W. H. Millard, A. J. Howard, Ralph Miller, S. Thurston, J. H. Adams, Elmer Adams, P. P. Adams and Charles Adams.
During the conference it was decided to purchase the Glendale Hotel for sanitarium purposes, and pledges were secured amounting to more than $5,500, which constitutes the first payment. The property was acquired for $12,500 on favorable terms, and is exceptionally cheap at that price. It is said that the building alone cost $40,000, and the site comprises five acres of fine land in the midst of one of the best foot-hill towns contiguous to Los Angeles.
At the conclusion of the tent-meetings, Brother W. W. Simpson baptized twenty-six candidates at one time, and at the close of the camp-meeting Brother W. M. Healey baptized thirty-four more. These, with five previously baptized by Elder J. H. Adams, constitute the first-fruits of the harvest just undertaken in Southern California. Others are awaiting baptism, and the churches have been strengthened by the tent effort.
It is intended to pitch the large camp-meeting tent again immediately in the business district of Los Angeles, where the message will be proclaimed by Brethren W. W. Simpson and F. I. Richardson alternately, from night to night. Great interest was awakened by the series of sermons by Brother Simpson on prophetic subjects, and it is desired to extend the work as rapidly as possible. At the conclusion of the downtown meetings, it is intended to take the tent to two or three other locations in the residence districts of the city, where others may be made acquainted with the truths of Scripture.

The Scriptures in Timbuktu
THE most effective missionary work is the dissemination of the Scriptures. Nothing else can so convict men of sin; nothing else can so forcibly portray the righteousness of Christ, through which men are to be turned to God. It is a proverb that Timbuktu is the synonym in all Sahara for Mohammedan exclusiveness and fanaticism; yet the Mission Bulletin says that three years ago a Mohammedan merchant of that city, went to the English settlement of Bathurst to trade. While there he was given a Scripture text card in Arabic. The next year, he went again on business, and asked for the book from which that wonderful text was taken. A Bible was shown him, and he bought it. The third year he bought eighteen Bibles for friends, who were anxious to have the Book. Now the British Bible Society is about to establish a depository in Timbuktu.
(25) “So she went, and came unto the man of God to Mount Carmel. “And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite: (26) run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. (27) And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her; and Jehovah hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. (28) Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me? (29) Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again; and lay my staff upon the face of the child. (30) And the mother of the child said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her. (31) And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awakened.
(32) “And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. (33) He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto Jehovah. (34) And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. (35) Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him; and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. (36) And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son. (37) Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.”
