Earlier text: Missionary AdvanceCamp-Meeting Notes
By L. A. Hansen
In addition to the camp-meetings attended in the Northern Union Conference, which have already been reported, it was my privilege to visit those mentioned in the following notes. We may be able to report from other unions and meetings as we receive items of information. Southwestern Union Conference
This union has no sanitarium indebtedness of its own, but is taking hold of the campaign work along with the rest of the field, devoting the proceeds to work outside its own territory. On account of conflicting dates of other meetings I could visit only the Texas and Oklahoma meetings. At Texas we had a very interesting time. Elder L. W. Terry gave hearty support to the campaign, and other workers joined. Time at business sessions and at a special service was devoted to the work of the campaign. A good supply of books was ordered by the people. The Oklahoma brethren and sisters took up the work enthusiastically, when the vote was taken, and pledges were made. The president, David Voth, and Elder G. F. Watson, the union president, with Elder O. A. Olsen, united in the presentation of the question. Special interest was shown on the part of all; and when opportunity was given to vote, there was a unanimous response in the affirmative. It was noticeable that the workers took their share. This union has been active in pushing the campaign, allowing Dr. C. A. Hansen, the medical secretary, to devote much time to it. He was also present at nearly all the camp-meetings in that territory, and aided in presenting the campaign work, besides giving much attention to other lines of medical missionary work. At the North Missouri meeting, time was devoted to a consideration of this question. Elder A. R. Ogden, the president, and other officers of the conference, showed their interest by urging the matter, and by pledging themselves to do their part. The people took hold well. A meeting was held with the Kansas City church on Sabbath for those who could not attend the camp-meeting, and an excellent spirit was manifested. The elder of this church, Dr. G. A. Droll, had set a good example as a church leader and as a medical worker, by pledging to sell one book a month for three years. His sanitarium family showed a good interest also. As medical secretary of the conference, he will be enabled to further advance this work throughout the State. In Southern Missouri a cordial reception was given to the medical missionary work in general, and ample time was devoted to its consideration. Elder D. U. Hale was anxious that the campaign should be well started at the meeting, with the view of following up the interest afterward in all the churches. The people responded with interest. The members of the Springfield church who were present held a consultation during the time the pledges were being taken, and voted to take a number of books for the church. I visited the Carthage and Joplin churches on the way to the next meeting, and the members here showed a practical interest in the progress of the medical work. The Colorado Conference had already made a strong effort in disposing of “Ministry of Healing,” and held the record for the largest number of books pledged, amounting to nearly $7,500 worth. But the matter was presented just as strongly at their meeting. Elder C. R. Kite showed earnest interest in it, and the other officers co-operated fully. The people naturally followed, and there was a good interest. Elder A. T. Robinson gave valuable support to the movement. At the Kansas meeting we also met with co-operation. The press of business connected with the division of the conference, and other matters, prevented many of the officers from being present, but full time and liberty were given for presenting the relief work. A noticeable thing here was the loyal support given by the people to the Wichita Sanitarium, and the many encouraging reports given in the discussion of its work. A decided stand was taken in its behalf. Many books were placed, and promise was given that the relief campaign work would be followed up in the churches. The Indiana meeting was an exceptionally good one for the campaign work. Plans had been laid some time before for its presentation. This conference is deeply interested in placing its sanitarium on vantage-ground. Excellent work is being done by the institution, and the desire is strong that it shall be relieved from all financial perplexities. The president, Elder Morris Lukens, showed special interest in having the campaign work fully presented. He and other workers showed their interest in the work by pledging to sell twenty-five books each, to begin with. Many books were subscribed for by the congregation, and the work is to be followed up in an active manner in the churches. There will be actual relief for the Wabash Valley Sanitarium, in this movement, to judge from the way in which the work is being taken up. At the Wisconsin camp-meeting we had another interesting time. Special provision was made for suitable hours for presenting the medical missionary interests. The needs of the Madison Sanitarium made this question one of live consideration. The newly elected conference president, Elder W. H. Thurston, as well as Elder C. McReynolds, indicated an appreciation of the importance of this enterprise, and both urged it earnestly. A good supply of books was on hand; and when the proposition was submitted to the congregation, the people showed their interest by taking all the books on hand, and pledging for many more. Definite plans are laid for continuing this work; and as the people take hold of it, there comes courage to all in seeing relief for their institution. In Southern Illinois an effort had been18 made some time ago to place a quantity of books. Because of change of officers and conditions, it had not been possible to follow up the effort very definitely; and as a result, all the books were not sold, and there was more or less question as to the practicability of the plan. But Elder E. A. Bristol, the president, was willing to do all that could be done to revive the work and to advance it. Time was given for presentation of the medical work and the campaign. Elder E. W. Farnsworth rendered valuable assistance, giving some personal experiences in the “Christ’s Object Lessons” campaign. Others took part; and when the people were asked to express their attitude, they responded heartily. All the books on hand were sold, and others pledged for, some promising to sell as many as fifty each. There is opportunity for the development of an excellent missionary spirit in this work; and as it is carried forward, it can not be other than a blessing to each conference and to the people. It is evident that the Lord is in the movement, and that we have but to follow the admonitions given us, to realize all he has promised us in every good work. BROTHER C. W. MILLER reports seven or eight new Sabbath-keepers at Petrolia, Tex. AS a result of the summer's tent effort in Worcester, Mass., twenty-five persons have begun to keep the Sabbath. IT is reported that six persons, including one colored preacher, have accepted the third angel's message at Rayville, La. WORD comes from a sister in Florida that herself and family are keeping the Sabbath as the result of reading one of our books. NINE years ago, through the efforts of Elder Wm. Simpson in Exeter, Ontario, two women accepted the truth. As a result of their consistent Christian lives, two daughters in each family were recently baptized. The Opening of Our Schools
By H. R. S.
Still the good reports of the opening of our schools keep coming in from far and near. From no school have we received a word of discouragement. The first report to reach us this week was from the — Walla Walla (Wash.) College
“Walla Walla College has opened very encouragingly. We had the best enrolment the opening day of any opening in its history, and the students are coming in right along from day to day. Our total enrolment this morning is 243. One hundred sixty-eight of these are in the college building, and seventy-five in the normal building. If we have the usual increase during the first semester, our enrolment will be larger than it was last year. The Lord is not only blessing us in numbers, but also in sending us an older class of students, a number of them of quite mature years. Also the larger part of the students thus far enrolled have come to the school with the fixed purpose of preparing for some definite work in connection with this great movement. “We are trying so to arrange the work this year that no teacher will have to carry more than four classes and an industrial class. We desire to emphasize the industrial work more than ever before. We are also making a strong effort to weed out from our class work the non-essentials, and make prominent those things that will be of use in giving the third angel’s message. Our teachers are all of good courage, and we look forward to a prosperous year. I trust that the cause of Christian education everywhere will make rapid advancement during the year. According to the instruction received through the spirit of prophecy, we are far behind what we ought to be, and the Lord has long been waiting for the teachers to walk in the light he has given. When we walk in this light, a great change will come into our educational work. The Great Teacher has bidden us go forward; and with this command there is power to supply the much-needed wisdom and strength to do the work.” From Texas comes a report which will gladden the hearts of all our people in the Southwestern Union. Prof. C. B. Hughes writes thus of the — “The seventeenth opening of the academy occurred on September 20. The Southwestern Union Conference committee being in session, the union president and the presidents of all the conferences of the union except New Mexico, were present to address the students, as were also Elders A. Nelson and W. W. Eastman. The writer first spoke briefly, referring to the experience of Robert and Thomas French from the time of their conversion till, having completed their schooldays, they became teachers in the academy, and later heeded the call of the Master to a foreign field, Thomas having gone to West Africa a few years ago, while Robert was, doubtless, nearing India about the time of our opening. The lives of these young men forcibly reminded the large company present of the work to be accomplished by the academy. “The weather was unusually dry in a large part of our union conference last year; and the same is true of much of the territory this year, so we feared that our attendance would be small. Imagine our surprise to find a larger number of students in our dormitories before the close of the first week than at any time during last year. In fact, the boys’ dormitory is insufficient to accommodate all who have come, and we are now buying furniture and renting more room for the overflow. One very encouraging feature is that so many of these students are in the advanced grades, there being 123 enrolled in grades nine to thirteen, and ninety in the first eight grades. “A new room has been made in the academy basement for the beginning grades. Much papering and painting has been done. Heating plants are ordered for the boys’ dormitory and the academy, the girls’ dormitory being already provided with a plant. The workmen are now busy laying cement walks on our grounds. “We praise our Father for his prospering hand, and trust that an inward work of grace is being wrought in the hearts of teachers and students that will result in sending forth many to assist in gathering earth’s ripened harvest.” One interesting feature, which those who read last week’s report noticed, and which also appears in the report of this week, was the presence of the Spirit of God in the opening sessions, bringing great encouragement to instructors, and strength to the students, as illustrated in the following report from — Clearwater Lake (Wis.) Industrial School
“One special feature connected with our opening was a great spiritual revival among the people of the neighborhood. Ten young people signified their willingness to follow the Lord in baptism. It was most inspiring to see the young who had already found Christ labor for their young friends, and bring them to the Redeemer. Our school is filled to its fullest capacity. We hope God will water the good seed sown daily.” Prof. C. C. Lewis writes concerning the opening of the — “The Pacific Union College [at Angwin, Cal.] began its work last Tuesday, with an enrolment of one hundred students, and we are finding it difficult to care for them all. The new dormitory will not be ready for several weeks, if not months, and the cottages which were used for the boys last year are now occupied by the families of teachers. We have had to plan every way to accommodate the young men. Two or three rooms have been fitted up in one of the barns, and four rooms have been partitioned off with rough-hewn lumber, under the west wing of the hall now used for recitation purposes. Four or five tents have also been pitched, and probably more will have to be pitched soon. For the present these tents are the most desirable rooms of all, being light and airy, and having good board floors. I think we shall get along for two or three months, until the new building is ready for use. As soon as the roof and siding are on, the boys will move in; for they can finish up the rooms during the rainy season. “We all regard the opening of the school as very favorable. We have a fine class of students. Quite a number of these, perhaps a dozen or more, are in the college grades. A number of young men are here to prepare for the ministry, and we all feel greatly encouraged.” Prof. J. G. Lamson says of the opening of — “Stuart Academy opened for class work, September 13. We have forty-eight students enrolled, the girls numbering about twice as many as the boys. After being in school a week, it became necessary, on account of the rapid ripening of the tomatoes, to close school for four days. We have about nine thousand cans of tomatoes, nearly five hundred cans of beets, with a large quantity of grape juice, and some other fruit. “The potatoes are turning out about 125 bushels to the acre. We have harvested the oats from eight acres, and thrashed 344 bushels. Our corn is an excellent crop. The poultry has not done so well, but on the whole the season has been prosperous. “For the first time in the history of the school, we have all grades, from the eighth to the twelfth, inclusive, filled with students. Next year we shall have a graduating class of about five from the twelfth grade, and five more from the commercial department, including shorthand. We were much surprised this year in having enrolled with us only two who desired seventh-grade work. We arranged for these by doing some tutor work. “At the first Friday-night meeting, all but two took part in the exercises. Since then others have come in who make no profession of religion, but we are expecting that the Lord will work for them during the months to come.” Miss Lotta E. Bell writes as follows concerning the —19 Lodi (Cal.) Normal Academy
“At ten o’clock on Tuesday morning, September 20, over one hundred pupils, together with a number of visitors, gathered in the various assembly-rooms at the normal building in Lodi, for the opening of the third year of school. Good general work is being done, with the normal training department as a strong leading feature. A good music course, both vocal and instrumental, is offered; and a commercial department, consisting of bookkeeping, shorthand, and typewriting, and other subjects making for a strong course, is being opened. The European plan of serving is being introduced in the dining-room this year, and it is believed that it will meet with the hearty approval of all. We have a good class of students, and all have settled down to hard work. We are also fortunate in securing a faculty of thoroughly consecrated teachers. We are all working hard, and leaning upon the unfailing arm of God.” Principal Kenneth R. Haughey reports of the — Manson (B. C.) Industrial Academy
“It is a pleasure to me to be able to report encouragingly concerning our work here. We were a little late in starting, owing to uncompleted repairs on our main building; but we are now under way very satisfactorily. Our attendance is not large yet, but much larger than at the corresponding time last year, and we expect enough more students within the next ten days to fill our school. Indeed, the matter of home accommodation will be a serious one with us. But a fact of still greater encouragement to us than numbers is the energetic way in which our students are taking up their work. A spirit of earnest endeavor and consecration pervades the school, which gives evidence of both scholastic success and spiritual growth. “Our school has done but little in the practical industries in years past, but we are laying plans to introduce regular class work in two or three industries this year; and as we follow the instruction that has been given us in regard to this work, we expect to grow and prosper still more.” Brother B. L. Howe, the principal, says of the — Central California Intermediate School
“September 26 was our opening day. Nine o’clock found eighty-six in line, ready to march at the given signal. An excellent spirit is manifest on the part of all. Our school has never opened with so bright a prospect of success. “We are raising money to put up a building in which to carry some branches of industrial work. The teachers come to their work with a confidence that insures success.” Brother Clifford A. Russell reports for the — Battle Creek (Mich.) Industrial Academy
that their present enrolment is 110, with several more prospective students to enter soon. We have also heard good reports from the Cumberland Industrial School, at Daylight, Tenn., and from the Shenandoah Valley Training Academy, at New Market, Va., where Brother H. M. Forshee has just gone to take up the work as principal. We trust these inspiring reports in this and the previous number of the REVIEW will awaken a desire in the hearts of those who have not thought it possible to attend school this year to put forth renewed efforts to enter. We also hope that they may be the means of turning some who have entered the schools of the world back to our schools, even though they have already entered. Every school seems confident that the coming year is to be the best in its history. Let all those who love the work of Christian education pray that this may be so, and may we not be satisfied until we have turned all our young men and women who should be getting an education, toward our own schools, that they may receive that Christian training which will enable them to stand amid the perils of the last days, and to take their place in the ranks of the soldiers of the cross. Christian Education
By H. R. Salisbury
Conducted by the Department of Education of the General Conference H. R. SALISBURY Secretary The Summary
By A. J. S. B.
This report shows a gain of 1,623 in the September sales over the month of August. During the first nine months of 1910, 301,745 more magazines were sold than during the same months of 1909. In spite of the return of many student agents to school, 528 more magazines were sold by agents in September than during August. Accompanying the Watchman report, are the following cheerful words: “You will notice that we have had a fairly good month, notwithstanding some of the student agents have dropped their work and returned to school. The Watchman is doing well, particularly in the matter of new club and subscription orders. We are now inaugurating a vigorous campaign for November and December.” When all our conferences shall have secured efficient field missionary secretaries to search out, train, and develop magazine agents, the records will show a steady increase in sales each month, instead of the drop which heretofore has so often occurred immediately following each summer’s campaign. Shall we not, as leaders and lay members, unite in a determined effort to bring about this much-desired result? The September sales by union conferences are shown in the following list: (1) Lake Union, 17,092; (2) Atlantic Union, 15,564; (3) Central Union, 8,822; (4) Pacific Union, 8,706; (5) Northern Union, 7,461; (6) Columbia Union, 6,804; (7) North Pacific Union, 5,672; (8) Southeastern Union, 4,952; (9) Southern Union, 4,758; (10) Southwestern Union, 4,304; (11) Canadian Union, 1,345; (12) Western Canadian Union, 407. It is encouraging to note that our September sales this year represent 52,110 magazines more than those reported for September, 1909. The new arrangement in the “Comparative Summary” will enable the reader to compare quickly the sales made during the first nine months of 1910 with those of the corresponding period of last year; also the September sales of this year and last; and again, the comparative sale of each individual magazine during the periods mentioned. The agents’ sales in the Pacific and Canadian union conferences amounted to 654 more copies in September than August. The other union conferences, however, show losses in agents’ sales, as seen in the following list: (1) Southeastern Union, 521; (2) Southwestern Union, 1,010; (3) North Pacific Union, 1,606; (4) Northern Union, 2,689; (5) Western Canadian Union, 3,262; (6) Southern Union, 3,418; (7) Central Union, 4,367; (8) Atlantic Union, 4,870; (9) Lake Union, 6,297; (10) Columbia Union, 9,084. The Pacific Union Conference, which reports a gain over last month, has a live union missionary secretary, who spends his entire time in the field, assisting the tract society and field missionary secretaries in the local conferences in the actual training of church-members to become magazine agents. He also helps these secretaries to increase their camp-meeting literature sales. Two of the local conferences in that union maintain an active field missionary secretary, one of them employing also, in addition, an experienced man to give his entire attention to the sale of our periodicals. As one result of the united efforts of these and other missionary leaders, the camp-meeting literature sales in one of the local conferences were increased five hundred per cent, while those in an adjoining conference were the largest ever made at any of our camp-meetings. Best of all, these laborers have succeeded in arousing the home missionary zeal of a large proportion of the church-members in that union conference. Of our three foreign magazines, issued at College View, Neb., 9,968 more copies were sold in September than August. Each one shows a substantial gain, as follows: Tidens Tecken (Swedish), 4,730; Zeichen der Zeit (German), 3,957; Lys over Landet (Danish), 1,281. Writing of the circulation of these excellent magazines, Brother F. F. Byington, manager of the International Publishing Association, says: “We hope to see a greater circulation of these magazines in the cities. Of the last issue of Tidens Tecken, we sold 1,000 in Chicago and 600 in New York. The largest order for Lys over Landet was for 700 from New York. One order for Zeichen der Zeit, from New York, was for 325 copies. Nearly all of the work that has been done with these magazines up to the present time has been by our foreign people themselves.” Our church missionary secretaries and other English agents for magazines can, by a little effort, circulate these new and attractive magazines among the many foreigners who will be only too glad to purchase and read them. Order samples and a liberal supply of each from your conference tract society. Notes, Plans, Reports, Statistics, and Other Information Regarding Missionary Endeavor and the Circulation of Gospel Literature.
