In 1893 she accepted present truth and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Tantalion, Nova Scotia.

We laid her to rest until the King shall claim his own in the resurrection morning. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. THOS. D. ROWE.

SNOW.—Margaret Snow, aged 86 years, 3 months, and 4 days, one of the pioneers in the advent message, fell peacefully asleep in Jesus at the home of her daughter in Allegan, Mich., June 19, 1913. Her Bible, which she continued to read daily until the last days of her life, was her strength and solace to the end. The deceased was the daughter of Captain Peter Cramer, of Maritime Province, Canada. At the age of thirteen she was converted, and in 1847 accepted present truth. With her husband, Isaac C. Snow, to whom she was married in 1853, at Sterling, N. Y., she labored earnestly and untiringly for the progress of the message. The family moved to Michigan in 1866.

The deceased accepted present truth in the spring of 1909, and the following year united with the First English Seventh-day Adventist Church of Jersey City, of which she remained a faithful member until her death. She was a devoted wife and mother, home religion ever being of first importance to her. Her cheerful, happy nature, and the simple, practical faith of her Christian life endeared her to all, and she will be greatly missed in the church as well as in the community. In the absence of a Seventh-day Adventist minister, the funeral service was conducted by the pastor of the St. Wayne Reformed Church, an intimate friend of the family. Her companion and three children, two brothers, and one sister survive. AMMY W. WELSH.

SPINKS.—James Spinks was born in England, Aug. 6, 1863, and died at Montesano, Wash., June 5, 1913. About thirty years ago he came to Canada, and later to the United States. In Seattle he heard Elder Luther Warren speak on present truth, became interested in the third angel's message, and after careful study accepted all points of our faith as they were presented. He was anxious to be baptized and unite with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, but illness and his sudden death made this impossible. A wife and three daughters are left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father. The writer spoke words of comfort from Isa. 57:1. E. L. MACLAFFERTY.

WIGHT.—John Wight was born in Fowler, Saint Lawrence Co., N. Y., Dec. 22, 1841. His parents were New England people of English birth, and moved from Massachusetts to New York in the early part of the eighteenth century. The deceased was the youngest of a family of eight children. He received his education in the district school, and at the age of eighteen had completed a course in the Baptist seminary at Gouverneur, N. Y. Sept. 25, 1867, he and Miss Caroline Munson were united in marriage, and in the following spring moved to Michigan, settling near Coopersville, in Ravenna Township. Here by hard toil, known only by those who have pioneered their way into the forest, they improved a farm and lived happy lives. To them were born two children, one of whom, Elder S. E. Wight, of Nashville, Tenn., survives. In early life the deceased held skeptical ideas, but during a series of revival meetings conducted by Elder A. O. Burrill in the spring of 1872, the light of the gospel dawned upon his mind and he became an earnest Seventh-day Adventist. His neighbors and those who knew him best bear witness to the fact that he was a consistent Christian. He was a member of the Wright church. A little less than a year ago he moved to the village of Coopersville, where, on Tuesday, June 24, he passed quietly away, aged 71 years, 6 months, and 2 days. The blessed hope was a reality to him to the end. The funeral was conducted by the writer. Text, Rev. 14:13. Elder Wight and family were present to comfort the bereaved mother, but were obliged to leave the day after for Battle Creek, to lay away his wife's father, who died in Nashville at almost the same time that his own father passed away in Michigan. C. F. McVAGH.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY POST-CARDS, ASSORTED COLORS

Principles of Religious Liberty Illustrated

Cartoons and illustrations are often studied when the principles represented by them would be overlooked if set in type. The cartoon in the daily paper first attracts the attention, and often makes a more lasting impression than the editorial or news item.

Cartoon post-cards are especially appropriate in these days of the post-card fad, and are carrying their message to many who might otherwise never receive it.

We print herewith the titles of these cards:—

Turning to Cæsar
Religious Legislation Darkens the World

THROUGH THE YEARS A PICTORIAL RECORD OF THE EVENTS WHICH HAVE MADE HISTORY IN AMERICA

THE STRUGGLE FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN VIRGINIA

A Documentary Volume of Great Value

"The Struggle for Religious Liberty in Virginia" is a timely book containing much valuable information. It considers religious liberty as "the natural right of every soul to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. It does not make it a matter of indifference what a man believes or how he acts, but it places all on the same footing before God, the only Lord of the conscience, and makes us responsible to him alone for our faith and practice." This kind of religious liberty is what our forefathers fought to preserve, yet their followers of the present generation, through lack of knowledge, are fast losing a proper conception of its sacredness.

This book traces the struggle for religious liberty through three periods: Before the Revolution; During the Revolution; After the Revolution. It cites the important part taken in this great movement by the leading characters of the times.

It is a thrilling work of a practical nature. 227 pages, plain cloth binding, $1.25, post-paid.

A Positive Message

By Editor

THIS number contains an excellent article from Elder D. E. Robinson, giving some additional historical data relating to the darkening of the sun and the falling of the stars, in fulfilment of prophecy. We shall be very glad to print at any time data of this character relating to the important dates and phenomena connected with the fulfilment of the prophetic word. We believe that the future will bring to light much valuable information of this nature. We have by no means reached the end of Bible knowledge or of historical research.

We do not believe, however, that the developments of the future will set aside important conclusions which have already been reached. Our position as a people has been taken after much earnest prayer and painstaking study, and we believe that a point has been reached in the development of our message where we can rest with assurance on the fundamental principles that constitute the foundation of the system of truth we hold.

While in the face of evidence any position, however revered or time-honored, should be abandoned, we by no means consider that this will be made necessary as the outcome of future research. Hence our workers and the students in our schools should bring to the study of the prophecies and to their interpretation as represented in the faith of this people, an attitude of mind and spirit of study that will seek to confirm rather than disprove the positions taken. In fact this mental attitude will largely determine the value and weight of evidence.

Casting aside old-time beliefs, the spirit of higher criticism in the world counts as unworthy of credence the faith of the Fathers, only as such faith measures up to the estimate of its reasoning and the deductions of its philosophy. There is danger that this spirit of higher criticism may influence our study of the Scriptures of Truth. It requires no great amount of knowledge to question accepted interpretations of Scripture. It is easy to set the minds of our fellows revolving around unimportant and doubtful details the decision of which either way in no measure affects the strength of the great argument of truth. To this experience we are not now called in the history of this movement. "It is better," as expressed by another, "to know a few things than to know so many things that are not so."

Our message is not one of negation, but one of assurance and power. We need to preach positive truth. Let us teach with assurance and conviction. Let us seek to strengthen the things that remain. Let us seek to build up and not tear down; to cultivate confidence rather than doubt. This spirit will make for the strengthening of faith, confidence among brethren, and assurance and power in the proclamation of the gospel message.

Reports and Educational Appointments

By Editor

LEAVING Washington four weeks ago, Brother C. M. Snow, of the REVIEW editorial staff, has been attending the Christian Citizenship Convention at Portland, Oregon. At this writing he is attending the International Christian Endeavor Convention at Los Angeles, Cal. His first report of the Portland convention will be found in this number.

WE were pleased to greet in Washington last week Prof. C. C. Lewis, who, with Mrs. Lewis, has been called to Washington to carry forward the work of the Fireside Correspondence School. These faithful workers are well known to our readers on account of their long and valuable service in connection with our educational work. They enter upon their new duties with the confidence of all, and with every prospect, under the blessing of God, of making a success of their work. Prof. W. E. Howell, who did such efficient work in the starting of the Correspondence School, will now devote his entire time to the editing of Christian Education and to other allied educational interests.

Menkel Family Returns to Indian Mission

Mrs. H. C. Menkel and her son Carl sailed for England, July 17, on the "Adriatic," of the White Star line. She will be joined in England several weeks later by Dr. Menkel, and together they will return to the Indian Mission field.

Thirteen Baptized in Worcester

Our French worker in America, Brother G. G. Roth, writes that thirteen were baptized on a recent Sabbath in Worcester, Mass. Among the candidates were found representatives from the English, Swedish, and French nationalities.

War Raises Food Prices

In a recent letter from Brother Conradi, he says that on account of the Balkan war over the spoils of their recent victories, the prices of all foodstuffs "are going up terribly" in all the countries affected by the war. Our work is also being seriously affected. Let us pray for our brethren and sisters in these troubled countries.

Progress in Ontario and Quebec

An excellent showing, according to Elder C. S. Longacre, was made by the laborers in the Ontario Conference during the past year. Over one hundred persons have been brought to a knowledge of the truth in that field, an average of more than twenty for each conference laborer. Our brethren there are planning for still greater achievements during the year to come. Of the Quebec camp-meeting Brother Longacre states that three ministers of other denominations attended the services, and two of them returned and made earnest inquiry for more light upon the Sabbath question, confessing that they believed that we have the truth on this subject. The Lord blessed our Canadian brethren in these gatherings.

A Campaign for Life and Health

A. J. S. Bourdeau, manager of the magazine department of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, reports that during one day last week orders were received for 3,975 copies of Life and Health. An active campaign in behalf of our magazines is going on throughout the field, the regular force of workers having been augmented by a number of students from our schools, who in this way will earn scholarships for the next school year. Above these pecuniary considerations is the large amount of good which is bound to result from the circulation of this excellent literature. Gospel seed will be sown in many hearts and will bear fruit unto life eternal. What the scores of earnest men and women are doing in the distribution of the printed page might be done quite as successfully by hundreds of others who are now standing idle in the market-place. There is work for every man and woman in the ranks of this people in connection with the extension of this movement and in the spreading of the gospel message. Let each one seek to find his place and do faithfully the work to which God has called him.

Missionaries Delayed on Way to Mexico

By Editor

Delayed in sailing for Mexico, Brother H. E. Meyer and wife, of Kansas, write that they had made arrangements to sail from Key West, Fla., via Havana, Cuba, leaving this last port July 19 for Vera Cruz, Mexico. With the recent newspaper reports constantly telling of the increasing trouble in Mexico, anxiety increasing as to the government concerning the safety of Americans, etc., it requires no little faith on the part of our missionaries to "go" in answer to the Master's command; yet the One who has issued the command is abundantly able to protect his servants, and we trust Brother and Sister Meyer will be greatly blessed in answering this long-standing appeal for help at our printing-office headquarters at Mexico City.
