Sunday-Closing Crusade in the District of Columbia

By J. N. Quinn

The church people of Anacostia, D. C., are conducting a somewhat spirited campaign, having as its ultimate the closing of all places of business on Sunday. A rather mild protest was entered by some pharmacists of the place, and hoping to strengthen the opposition, and at the same time educate the people, a few of the Review and Herald employees spent a portion of two days in that suburb of Washington, distributing copies of the magazine Liberty and also the tract “Why Sunday Laws Are Wrong.” Our experiences were varied, and it brought to us keen delight that we could be used of God to put the people in touch with the best literature issued in the world at the present time.
The most interesting experience came to us when we visited the minister of the church which is taking the lead in the agitation for Sunday closing. He received two of our company very cordially, his greeting being, “If you have any religion, sit down; I enjoy talking to men who are religious.” “If the abiding of Christ in the life makes one religious, then we can shake hands with you,” was the response. He placed three rockers on the porch, and began to inquire about our work. Each question was frankly answered, and when it was mentioned that the publishers of Liberty also issued a magazine called the Protestant, he became interested, and without any solicitation on our part gave his subscription for one year.
He told us of instances in which he and Cardinal Gibbons were to speak from the same platform to laboring men, and said that he invariably notified the cardinal that he was a “militant Protestant.” He inquired wherein we differ from him in our teaching, and on being told, we were not a little surprised to learn that he is a firm believer in conditional immortality. We placed the tracts “Why I Am Not a Roman Catholic” and “The Lord Our Righteousness” in his hand, which he assured us he would read, and also whatever we might choose to send him. In parting, he shook hands with us in a cordial way, and we assured him that truth is the all-important thing. May God guide him into the fulness of the truth.
In Glen Echo, another suburb, the Sunday question has suddenly sprung into prominence, the mayor insisting on strict Sunday observance, the councilmen threatening to take every legal step to remove the mayor from office if he persists in his determination to enforce Sunday observance. We have placed religious liberty literature in the home of every resident of the latter place. It seems good to hear of the agitation; better agitation than stagnation.

A Good Word

WHEN sending his report for July, Brother J. B. Blosser, general agent of the Lake Union Conference, says:—
“We are glad to report that we are on the upward way. During July, 1910, the average hours per agent for the month was 77 hours, while during July this year, it was 110 hours. The gain in value of orders was 68 per cent. Better time, better class of agents, better training,—these are some of our purposes.”

The Summary

By N. Z. T.

We are well pleased to be able to present such a large summary again this month. Two years ago, when the summary for June reached $124,000, the highest mark we had ever attained, the next month the total dropped down to $95,000. This year, when we passed all previous records in June, and reached $135,000, we feared there might be a falling off in July. We are sure the readers of the REVIEW will rejoice with us that this has not occurred.
Comparing this report with that of the corresponding month in 1909 and 1910, we find some encouraging items. During July, 1909, the agents in North America averaged 75 hours an agent for the month, and their average sales an hour were $1.08. During 1910, the average time for each agent was 85 hours, and the average sales an hour, $1.12. During July this year, the average time for each agent was 90½ hours, and the average sales an hour, $1.15. We are glad to see this increase both in time worked and in efficiency year by year. But in the item of time, our North American workers are considerably behind those in the foreign fields. Their average of hours for the same month during the three years was 110 in 1909, and 111 in 1910; while this year the average hours for the month reached 120. Why should not the canvassers in North America be able to work as many hours a month as those in foreign fields?
Last month the summary from North America was the largest ever published. This month the foreign fields have beaten any previous monthly record in the grand totals of work done. We thank God for the faithful work which is being done by our canvassers from month to month.
N. Z. T.

Encouraging Progress

Brother J. W. Mace, manager of the Western Branch of the Review and Herald, sends the following encouraging item concerning the book work in the Lake Union Conference. He says:— “We are enthusiastic in this union over the success of the book work; especially so when we look back over the last five years in which this branch of the Review and Herald has been in existence, and find that we have never taken a backward step. There has been a steady gain every year, although some years it has been small. Still, the work has moved in the right direction. Thus far the Lord has blessed us, and the work is now moving much more easily than in former years. It is not so difficult to get people to canvass in this territory as it used to be. We are all thankful for the good results which we have seen. In West Michigan, where everybody thought books could not be sold, and the territory was considered old and worn-out, the work has developed until that conference stands third in our list.”
At the close of the spring term in the Foreign Mission Seminary, Brother George A. Sandborn, who had been in attendance, went to Old Mexico. Writing under date of July 18, after having been in the country only about five weeks, he says:— “After working for a time with Brother Green and some other brethren, learning the methods of canvassing among the Mexicans, I began work alone. I have put in full-time canvassing, and last week the Lord blessed me with $274 worth of orders ($137 gold), in four days. There are good experiences canvassing here, as well as in the States. Friday I tramped from eight until twelve, and took only one order. At twelve I came to a mill where I had permission to canvass during the noon hour. During that hour I took $65 (Mexican) worth of orders. The Lord certainly blesses. The language is coming much more easily than it did at first, and during the last two days I have ventured away from the canvass I learned.”
Such experiences should be an encouragement to others who are contemplating going to foreign fields.
Brother W. L. Manfull, general agent of the Western Canadian Union Conference, recently wrote:— “At the close of the camp-meeting at Pense, I felt as if I wanted a part in placing the printed page in the homes of the people, so I selected territory and began work. I have now worked three days, and have taken $125.50 worth of orders.”
A business man of San Jose, Cal., recently addressed the following letter to the circulation manager of Life and Health:— “I picked up a copy of your magazine for August, and after looking it through, persuaded the owner to sell it to me. After reading other interesting topics, I have decided to write to you. I would like to have the agency for the State of California, for myself and boy. I believe I could do you justice, and would employ other sub-agents and keep the field alive.”

News and Miscellany

Notes and clippings from the daily and weekly press
— Great Britain has been in the throes of one of the greatest labor strikes in the history of the country. It originated in a controversy between the railroads and their employees, but involved other trades and occupations. In a number of places the military was called into requisition in the maintenance of peace and order, which in several instances could be secured only by the soldiers' firing into the mobs, resulting in a considerable loss of life. The total number of men out on strike, and other toilers made idle in consequence, was fully 700,000. Some 12,000 miles of railroad was tied up. The situation became so serious that the government was forced to take a hand in the settlement of the difficulty. Conciliation boards are to be convened for the settlement of the question in dispute.
— After a discussion on the part of both Parliament and the country generally, covering several months, what is known as the veto bill has been passed by the British Parliament. The lords passed the measure by a vote of 131 to 114. The power of the House of Lords will now be limited practically to a two years' suspensory vote, and the prerogatives of the House of Commons are greatly increased. The upper house was finally led to pass the measure only by the formal announcement that the king himself had consented to exercise his prerogative, if necessary, and create enough new peers of liberal opinions to carry the bill through the upper chamber. The passage of the veto bill really makes the lower house responsible for the general financial legislation of the country.
— Congress adjourned Tuesday, August 22. This special session has been made memorable by the adoption of the reciprocity measure proposed by President Taft. It now rests with the Canadian government to determine its acceptance or rejection of this measure. Other measures proposed by President Taft to this special Congress have not met with the same favor accorded his reciprocity measure. The proposed Anglo-American peace alliance and the Franco-American peace alliance, which, it was hoped, would receive favorable consideration, were rejected by the Senate for the reason that it was felt that, as worded, they would virtually lessen the authority and power of the legislative body. In turn, President Taft vetoed the wool tariff bill, which had been passed by both houses. An effort was made to pass this bill over his veto, but there was a failure in securing the necessary two-thirds vote. Through the action of the special session, both Arizona and New Mexico acquired Statehood, for which they had been working for several years. The constitutions of these States provided for the judicial recall, but this was rejected by the President, who argued that it was a blow at the judiciary, and served to make this department of the government the prey of unreasoning impulse and popular passion.

Danish-Norwegian Seminary

By R. A. Underwood

The annual meeting of the electors of the Danish-Norwegian Seminary will be held at Hutchinson, Minn., in the chapel of the Seminary, Sept. 22, 1911, at 11 A. M., to elect a board of trustees for the seminary, and to transact such other business as may properly come before that body.
The board of electors is made up as follows: The executive committee of the Northern Union Conference, the Danish Norwegian Advisory Board, the secretary of the North American Foreign Department, the superintendent of the Danish-Norwegian Department, two Danish-Norwegians from Minnesota, two from Iowa, two from North Dakota, two from South Dakota, two from Nebraska, one from Michigan, one from Northern Illinois, two from Wisconsin, and one from the Western Canadian Union Conference, these men to be selected by the executive committee of their respective conferences, said conferences to arrange for their transportation.
The Danish-Norwegian Seminary will open for its second year's work Wednesday, September 20. The legal meeting for the election of trustees will convene in Hutchinson on September 22, as before noted, and on Sunday, September 24, in the afternoon the school property will be dedicated. It is expected that there will be a large number of our people present, aside from the electors (who will meet together September 22), at the time of the dedication. We understand that Elders O. A. Olsen and L. H. Christian will begin a series of meetings September 19 at the seminary. The opportunity to be present at the dedication and the opening of the school will call together a large number of our Scandinavian brethren. All who can come are invited to be present at this meeting.
R. A. UNDERWOOD, Chairman Board of Trustees.
