THE NEEDS OF MISSIONARY EFFORT
Earlier text: THE CALL OF THE HOUR

EASTERN UNION CONFERENCE.

By Arthur G. Daniells

The first session of the Eastern Union Conference was held at South Lancaster, Mass., Nov. 27 to Dec. 5, 1901. The General Conference laborers who were present from abroad were Sister E. G. White, Elder S. N. Haskell, Elder W. C. White, Prof. W. W. Prescott, Elder I. H. Evans, Brother E. R. Palmer, and the writer. The attendance from the Atlantic Coast was good, and consisted of the officers of the Union Conference, presidents and ministers of the State Conferences, and other delegates and visitors. In all, there must have been seventy-five people present from abroad.
As the meeting covered only nine days, it was necessary to make the most of each day. Every morning at six o’clock a Bible study was conducted by Elder Haskell. During a part of the time Professor Prescott gave Bible studies at 8:30 A. M. The evenings were devoted to general public meetings. The lessons given in all these services were good, and the evening meetings were well attended, but none of the morning services were as well attended as the beautiful lessons deserved. The committees felt pressed for time, so attended to their business, sometimes even during the morning studies. I have a conviction that this is a mistake.
The fact is, nothing but spiritual life and power can make our business meetings, and the business itself, of any force and value. This is offered to all who will take time to seek and appropriate it. I am inclined to think that if the first day or two were given up wholly to earnest prayer, Bible study, and conference regarding our message, our field, and our needs, we should get such light and knowledge regarding the situation, that committees and delegates would be able to do better work in the remaining part of the Conference than they can during the whole time by plunging into business the first day. In this Conference the time set apart for business proceedings was given the first two days, to the study of important questions, without endeavoring to press business to the front. If this course is pursued more generally and fully in the future, I feel certain that great good will come to our Conferences.
The business proceedings passed off with very little, if any, friction, or even difference of opinion. The delegates found it necessary to deal with large, perplexing questions, affecting the evangelical, educational, medical, and publishing work. Before the Conference closed, it was apparent to all that the Eastern Union Conference has a mission—a large, important, far-reaching work on its hands. It was discovered that many details which lie at the very foundation of the growth and prosperity of the work on the Atlantic Coast had not been receiving due attention. These were taken up by this new Conference, and thus the work in all its phases was placed on a basis which gives reasonable assurance of more rapid development. As this was done, courage and good cheer came into the hearts of the burden-bearers.
As the business proceedings will be reported by the secretary, I will not refer at length to the details. By the organization of the Canadian Union Conference, the Eastern Union Conference lost the Canadian portion of its territory. But it has an abundance left. Its name was changed from Eastern to Atlantic Union Conference. Action was taken for the publication of a Union Conference paper. The headquarters are to remain, for a time at least, at South Lancaster. New York City would be more central, and in some respects more suitable, but South Lancaster has some decided advantages.
The South Lancaster Academy suspended school during the Conference, thus giving the students an opportunity to attend the meetings. The academy is enjoying a large attendance. Nearly all of the students are attending school for the purpose of obtaining that preparation for the work of God that a school can give. The managers of this school have reason to be of good courage in their work.
Several hours in the regular program were devoted to the consideration of our book, tract, and missionary work. It was indeed cheering to see the strong, unanimous sentiment in favor of a general forward movement along these lines. There was a hearty response to the call for every Seventh-day Adventist—minister, Bible worker, regular agent, and lay member—to take some part in circulating our literature. A general effort is to be made throughout the Eastern Conferences in behalf of the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and the extension of our book and tract work. It is evident that the old tract and missionary spirit, which had its origin in the East, as far as the work of this denomination is concerned, is now returning, and under God’s blessing a great work will be accomplished. There was a good attendance of the State agents and tract society secretaries.
On the whole, the work in the Eastern States is encouraging. The cloud is moving. Elder Cottrell, who was re-elected president, finds a large work and many burdens on his hands, but he will have the prayers and the co-operation of the brethren throughout the Conference. As I think of the twenty-five millions of souls in that Conference, about one third of the population of the whole United States, I feel, deep down in my heart, that some of our large, strong Conferences farther west should share their laborers and funds with some of the weaker and more needy Conferences in the East. One thing all can do, that is, pray for the prosperity of the cause in the Atlantic Union Conference. A. G. DANIELLS.

Woodward, Richmond, Ruth, Gip.

By Matthew Larson

The following report appears in the Oklahoma Gleaner of Dec. 11, 1901: “I arrived at Woodward, October 23, where we had the pleasure of meeting Elder G. G. Rupert and the brethren and sisters of that place. It was my privilege to bury six people in baptism the same day of my arrival. From there we came to Richmond, where we held meetings, Sabbath and Sunday, to the comfort and encouragement of the believers. Two came forward for prayers during our brief stay at that place, and expressed their desire for baptism. We next visited the church at Ruth a few days, and then came to Gip, where we had some excellent meetings. We remained there nearly three weeks. Before leaving, a church of seventeen members was organized, officers were elected, and the ordinances celebrated. Seven were baptized, and all expressed themselves as greatly blessed and strengthened in the word of the Lord. Matthew Larson.”

Canvassing Work Progressing in Oklahoma Territory

MISSOURI

By W. S. Cruzan

SABULA, GLEN ALLEN, ST. LOUIS, ROLLA, AND SPRINGFIELD.—Since the Poplar Bluff camp-meeting I have visited the churches and companies at Sabula, Glen Allen, St. Louis, Rolla, and Springfield. I also visited some isolated Sabbath-keepers in the eastern part of the State. The services I held with the brethren seemed to be appreciated by them, and they were encouraged to press on to victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. At Springfield one was baptized who heard and accepted the message at Cabool, when Brother McNeely and myself had the tent there in the spring of 1900. We are to sow the seed of truth, and let the Lord give the increase. W. S. CRUZAN.

Sabbath-School Convention at Utica, Missouri

A SABBATH-SCHOOL convention will be held at Utica, Mo., in connection with the State Conference to be held at that place, December 26-31.

OHIO

Toledo.—We are having excellent services at the church and the mission. The church numbers eighty. We are now well settled in our new field of labor. D. E. LINDSEY.

WASHINGTON

By W. A. Hayward; Hattie Hayward

SHELTON.—I feel that I should write and let the REVIEW family know of the blessings we have had since coming to this place two years ago. There was not a Sabbath-keeper in the place when we came, but we found there was one sister near town. We visited her, and soon started a Sabbath-school at our house, and continued it until last June, when Brother Burg and Brother Squire came here with a tent. Now we have a nice church building, a church organization of seventeen members, and a Sabbath-school with twenty-eight members. Brother Burg baptized six of these, and the rest were received by letter. There is a good interest here, and the citizens assisted liberally in building the church, so there is but a small debt on it.
We thank the Lord for His loving-kindness to us in leading us there. We praise Him more and more as the time of His coming draws near. We want to be faithful in doing all He has for us to do; we know the time is short, and we must work while the day lasts; for the night cometh when no man can work. We are of good courage in the Lord.
Brother Squire has started a church school here, and has twelve pupils; others are talking of coming. We think we have much to be thankful for. May we have the prayers of the readers of the REVIEW that the good work may go on.
W. A. AND HATTIE HAYWARD.

KANSAS

By D. H. Oberholtzer

IOLA.—Since camp-meeting I have visited Iola, Toronto, Elk City, Bland, Buffalo, Chanute, and Galena. I was at Toronto during a short tent effort. One or two were added to the small company of believers.
At Elk City there is a good outside interest. We stayed there but a few days. At Bland I remained almost four weeks. There seemed to be a good interest throughout, but no one took a stand for the truth. A few days’ meeting at Buffalo developed the fact that there is an interest to hear in this vicinity.
There does not seem to be much interest at Chanute, but at Galena, where Brethren Norwood and Easley are conducting a protracted effort, there is a good interest to hear, twelve or fifteen persons being in the valley of decision. I was much pleased to find the church of good courage, and manifesting a commendable zeal to do what they can to bring the truth before their neighbors. The calls for help and for meetings are numerous throughout the district.
God is blessing me with better health than I have had for some time, and I am in the work almost constantly, but the more I work, the more I see to do. Pray for the work, and for me.
D. H. OBERHOLTZER.

ILLINOIS

By Victor Thompson; Fred Wheeler

KINGSTON.—We have been here three weeks. The Lord blesses in the meeting, and the people give good attention to the word spoken. Some seem much interested, and one man said he would give his heart anew to God.
Brother Fred Wheeler leaves us to-day (December 9) for a new field. We trust the Lord will bless him as he goes. He has rendered good service in visiting and singing, also in preaching the word.
We will look to the Lord for success in the work wherever we are called. We trust the friends pray for us here.
VICTOR THOMPSON, FRED WHEELER.

Signor Marconi, the famous inventor of wireless telegraphy, received the first wireless telegraphic message across the Atlantic, the same being sent from Cornwall, England, to St. John’s, Newfoundland, a distance of about 1,700 miles. The message previously decided upon by Marconi and his friends in England, and repeatedly received by him at St. John’s, was the letter “S,” indicated in telegraphy by three short dots, thus “...”. The receiving apparatus was a wire suspended from a kite. This marks a new era in telegraphy. So certain is Marconi’s success in this, his latest experiment, that the Anglo-American Telegraph Co. served a notice on him the 16th inst., warning him not to continue his experiments in Newfoundland, as they have the monopoly of the telegraph business there, and do not wish any competitor to transmit transatlantic messages.

GENERAL MEETING IN NEW LONDON, WIS.

By W. H. Thurston

The meeting began, according to appointment, December 3, with a good attendance. The Spirit of the Lord was manifest from the first, and as the meeting continued, the interest and blessing increased.
The Conference Committee was present, and many of the other laborers of the State. The laborers present from abroad were E. R. Palmer and the writer. The keynote of the meeting was “the service of love, receiving and giving.”
The members of the New London church provided for all in a very hospitable and pleasing manner, and the church was strengthened by the meeting. The Sabbath was a day long to be remembered. The Lord came especially near to His people, and some who were discouraged received new evidences of the Lord’s mercy, and laid hold of the promises. Brother Palmer’s help was much appreciated by all, and considerable time was given to the consideration of the canvassing work, and steps were taken toward enlisting every man, woman, and child in the service of love, receiving and passing on to others. It is evident that the canvassing work must have the co-operation of all the laborers in the field in order to make it a success. We may counsel, lay plans, and make the best of promises, but all will come short of accomplishing the thing in mind unless we go right into the field, and stay there, and do faithful, earnest work. Wisconsin people believe that the book and periodical business can be made a success, and they are going to make it succeed, each one doing something.
I wish every State could have a general meeting like this, where laborers and churches could come together for study, work, and prayer, and thus become better prepared for service.
“By beholding the goodness, the mercy, the justice, and the love of God revealed in the Church, the world is to have a representation of His character.” God grant that these graces may be revealed in every one of us; and when this is true, they will be revealed in the Church. “The Lord has His eye upon every one of His people; He has His plans concerning each.” What is His plan concerning you? Why not ask Him?

Preparing for Field Work.

By A. G. Daniells

THROUGH the Spirit of Prophecy urgent messages are coming to this people to “go forward;” “to open new territory;” to “proclaim the message of salvation in every land.” We are admonished that now is our time to work, and that we must quicken our pace.
Two points are being repeated, and emphasized with each repetition. One is that the results of the labors of those now engaged in the work should be one hundred times greater than they are. The other is that the number of workers already in the field must be increased a hundredfold.
All this is a loving, cheering response from our Father in heaven to the cries for help that are going up to His throne from the hearts of suffering, perishing humanity.
There is but one course open to us, and that is to obey our Leader. We must go forward, we must enter new territory, we must quicken our pace. The staff of workers already in the field must be increased a hundredfold, and the results of the efforts of all must be a hundred times greater than we see now.
The situation calls for a new ministry. It calls for a ministry of greater intelligence, zeal, and power. This has been the call for a long time, but the hour has come when this call must be answered. There can be delay no longer. We who are now ministering must be made new, and hosts of new and renewed men must join us.
All this is true of the work and workers in all other departments of this great cause. It is especially true regarding business managers. This cause is suffering terribly to-day because of the lack of wise-hearted, broad-minded, consecrated business men at the head of the different lines of work.
Brethren, there is no need of the conditions being as they are to-day. We are absolutely without excuse. We stand speechless before our Maker in this evil thing. From the day this message started, God has led men and women to renounce everything in the world, and join this movement. These people were capable of training and development sufficient, under God’s leadership, to do successfully everything pertaining to this work. But we have failed to educate. We have strangely and blindly overlooked one of the first essentials necessary to the success of this work.
The call is now coming to us to arouse, and take up this sadly neglected work. Every Conference, every school, every publishing house, and every health institution in this denomination should obey this call. Earnest efforts should be made by all these departments to pull together on the lines of helpful co-operation.
One important factor in this great and all-important step is Emmanuel Missionary College. This school has been established for a special work. We are glad that we have as many schools as we have. We shall have many more before our work is done. And we are greatly encouraged by the fact that our schools have a good attendance of promising young people at the present time. These institutions should and must be crowded to their utmost capacity. To this end ministers and parents should work most earnestly.
But Emmanuel Missionary College has a work that none of the other schools is doing, and which they are not prepared to do. That work is to give special help to men and women of mature years, whom the Lord is calling into His service. They are being called to the ministry, Bible work, canvassing, medical work, and to business responsibilities. They need a special course of training. It is impossible and unnecessary for many of them to spend years in our schools. They must have special help in such lines as Bible study, history, language, voice culture, and business management. This help they must have before going into the field and taking responsibilities. There are hundreds of sturdy men and women in our ranks who, with a short special course in one or more of the lines referred to, would become our brightest and most successful workers. They have already passed through trials, endured hardships, and borne burdens; and these experiences have given them their bearings. Oh, I thank God that such persons are called into service, and that a missionary training-school has been established to help them!
To all such we extend an earnest call to attend the winter term of Emmanuel Missionary College. Arrangements are being made to give special help in Bible study, voice culture, and business training.
Elder John A. Brunson has already connected with the school. The Lord is greatly blessing Brother Brunson with clear views of the demands of the hour, and with the power of the Holy Spirit to set forth these demands. Professor Prescott, Elder Spicer, and the writer are planning to spend some time at the missionary school during the winter term. We feel that our work in this country is that of recruiting officers for our great General, and we want to spend some time in the training-school with the volunteers before they proceed to the front.
As I view the situation, I cannot help feeling that it would be a most excellent and profitable thing for many of our ministers and their wives, also Bible workers, canvassers, and Conference secretaries, to spend the winter with us. Jesus says, “Come ye yourselves apart, . . . and rest awhile.” He does not mean that we should go off somewhere to go to sleep. He means that we should retire awhile from the busy activities of public life, and fill up for better service. Personally, I feel the need of this so much that I am determined to retire for a time, and join the school at Berrien Springs.
We are rejoiced to know that some of our ministers and Bible workers are planning to do this. Some of our Conferences see the value of this so clearly that they are planning to help their younger preachers to attend the winter term. That is a step that will bring large returns. The ministers and workers in other denominations attend special schools and gatherings in the summer. But that is our tent- and camp-meeting season. We can take the winter.
I sincerely hope that many workers within reasonable reach of Emmanuel Missionary College, who long for a better knowledge of the Bible, for a new life, and for Holy Ghost power to proclaim this message to the world, will have the privilege of being with us this winter. I will be glad to correspond with workers regarding this matter.

Winter Term at Cedar Lake.

By J. G. Lamson

It is time that all who are intending to enter school at Cedar Lake for the winter term should complete their arrangements, so that they may be able to be present at the first session, Monday morning, at ten o’clock, January 6. An effort will be made at the beginning of the winter term to place each student in just the classes he needs in order that he may be thoroughly established in the common fundamental branches of education. While higher classes will be formed if necessity arises, the main effort of the school will be to give a first-class training in those subjects which lead up to the special lines of preparation for special lines of work. The school has already formed classes in these fundamental branches, and it will not be difficult for students entering at the beginning of the winter term to find a class that will be about where they are able to work. I will be pleased to hear from any in the State who are interested in the school, and are turning their thoughts this way for the next term. The expenses, regulations, etc., will be made known upon application to the principal.
We have a most excellent church school at Cedar Lake. It has been running now about six weeks. The children are making excellent progress, and are being blessed abundantly in their work.
We would like to call attention to the fact that quite an amount of money has been pledged by the young people throughout the State that has not yet been sent in. We trust that all those who pledged will endeavor to pay as early as possible. This money should be directed to the Cedar Lake Academy.
We are much in need of an organ, and wonder if some one does not wish to make us a Christmas present of an instrument for use in training these young people. We also need three cows immediately at Cedar Lake,—we mean cows that give milk, not young stock for beef purposes.
The academy stocking is waiting to receive the gifts that may be bestowed, and we hope that the Lord will move upon some hearts to respond to our earnest calls for some of these needed properties.
Those who need a special fitting up in the common branches should come to Cedar Lake. Those who have received a training in the common branches, and know that they are proficient in them, if old enough, should make arrangements with the school at Berrien Springs, that they may enter the Lord’s work with all speed. We invite correspondence from any who are interested. Don’t delay, but write immediately.
J. G. LAMSON, Principal.

Winter Term at Emmanuel. Missionary College.

Why call attention to the fact that the winter term of Emmanuel Missionary College opens Jan. 8, 1902?—Because that term offers special advantages to all persons who desire training for gospel work.
The matter of the reorganization of the denominational work has laid new responsibilities upon our people. Some must be prepared to carry the new plans into every Conference and every church. Do you want to help in this? Elders Daniells, Brunson, and Prescott will be connected with the college during the winter, for the express purpose of assisting young men and women in their preparation for field work. Who can afford to neglect this opportunity? Write for particulars, addressing Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Mich.
