News and Miscellany

— On her return from Europe last week, a prominent society woman of New York City paid $11,000 duty for her individual baggage—“mostly Parisian gowns.”

— During the past year, 59,485,116 barrels of beer have been sold in the United States. The brewers are jubilant, and predict that the hundred-million-barrel mark will be reached before the passing of another decade. Instead, it is to be hoped that, as a result of the growing temperance sentiment, the manufacture and sale of beer, as of all other alcoholic beverages, may soon be entirely prohibited.

— Forest fires in the Minnesota-Manitoba boundary country, October 8-10, are reported as the most destructive for years. Twelve thousand square miles of territory were burned over, several villages entirely wiped out, and a number of others partially destroyed. Two hundred bodies have been recovered, and the total death-roll is estimated at more than twice that number. Five thousand persons have been made homeless. The property loss is estimated at above $100,000,000. The fires had been smoldering for months; but on the night of the eighth, fanned by a high wind, which had been blowing for two days, they suddenly broke into walls of flame that leaped across open spaces, and swept everything in their path. Practically all the live stock in the country was burned.

— A year after the close of the Civil War, the government was paying $15,000,000 a year in pensions to disabled soldiers and their dependents. In 1874 the pension bill had increased to $31,000,000; but by 1878, from natural causes, it had fallen to $28,000,000. Since then, aided by favorable “pension legislation,” it has continued to rise. In 1889 it reached $92,000,000; in 1890 it jumped to $110,000,000; and in 1908, 43 years after the close of the war, it reached the stupendous sum of $156,000,000. This amount is equal to a tax of $10 a year for every family in the country. It is suggested by the World’s Work that, in view of these facts, and the scandalous conditions prevailing, the country’s “roll of honor” needs cleaning.

— A useful wax is now obtained as a by-product from sugar-cane.

— In spite of the utmost precautions, three cases of cholera have reached the port of New York. Rigid quarantine regulations are enforced.

— Re-enforced concrete pillars and piles are now made in Germany in rapidly whirling molds, which pack the concrete into a firm crust having a hollow center.

— Agitation over the high cost of living still continues, with but little practical results in reducing the cost of food products. It is to be hoped that some good will be accomplished by the study of the question.

— The recent decision of The Hague tribunal, called to settle the fisheries’ dispute of long standing between the United States and Newfoundland, seems to be received with equal satisfaction by Newfoundland, Canada, Great Britain, and America.

— A fine of $200 was lately imposed on the manager of the Washington branch of the firm of Armour & Co., of Chicago, on the charge of selling adulterated eggs to dealers in the city markets. This was the first case tried in an active crusade to enforce the pure-food laws in the District of Columbia.

— In twenty States, legislation is in progress to remedy the conditions that have prevailed in regard to what is called “expert testimony” in criminal courts. The bills prepared provide for having such testimony paid for by the State or county, and not by either the prosecution or the defense. This will exclude the influence of the partizan expert, so far as human laws can succeed in so doing.

— When one considers that only a few decades ago the colored population of the United States was subordinated to the rank of slavery, it must be confessed that commendable progress has been made by this once downtrodden people. In consequence of the work done by Booker T. Washington and other educators, many Negroes have made excellent advancement in technical education and in industrial employments. As to the part which the Negro plays in connection with the operation of the federal government, the United Presbyterian gives the following statistics: “It may be a matter of surprise to learn that there are at the present time fourteen thousand Negroes in the employ of the United States government—a larger number than ever before in the history of the country. There are a number who receive salaries of $2,500 to $5,000 a year, and at least one—the minister to Liberia—who receives $10,000. Nearly three hundred Negroes are postmasters, while about three thousand are connected with the post-office department. There are a number of high-grade Negro clerks in the patent office at Washington. One of these is an expert examiner, who has held his position for twenty-two years. He has traced more than one thousand patents issued to members of his race. In the government departments in Washington are 5,768 Negroes on salaries. There are forty-eight of them in the Library of Congress, and one of these has identified 6,000 works of Negroes in the library.”

— The thousands of employees of the railway systems of France went on a strike last week. The premier of France declared the strike “an insurrection purely, built upon criminal foundations.” Encouraged by their success, the leaders of the strike threaten a move to paralyze the industries of the whole country. The situation is regarded as grave. Paris, which for a time was threatened with shortage of food, received supplies by boat.

— From 5,000 to 6,000 monks and nuns have been expelled from the newly created republic of Portugal. The Jesuit monastery in Lisbon was looted by a mob, who destroyed and mutilated everything of value. This action on the part of the mob is described as an “expression of the popular hatred of the priesthood, especially the Jesuits, which was the animating cause of the revolution far more than hostility to the monarchy.”

— That tobacco using is a potent cause of crime, is the decision of a commission appointed by the Italian government to study into the effects of tobacco using upon the youth. The commission believes that the use of tobacco is responsible for a large part of the crime committed by children. It urges that measures be adopted whereby its use may be reduced on the part of the young, especially by boys and girls under the age of sixteen. The Italian government derives a large revenue from the use of tobacco, and the adoption of such a recommendation will materially affect this income. It is believed, however, that in view of the report of the commission, stringent measures will be adopted. Temperance workers have long known that the use of this narcotic, if not directly contributing to crime, leads to other evils, such as the use of strong drink. The moral degeneracy following the use of tobacco on the part of the youth, is apparent to every close observer. It is to be hoped that other states and countries will follow the way pointed out by the Italian government commission.

NOTICES AND APPOINTMENTS

Three Important Events

The November number of the Signs of the Times Monthly will record three separate, recent events of more than ordinary interest to the general reader, and especially fraught with importance to students of the Word. These are as follows:—

She has been a patient sufferer for the past eight months. Everything that loving hands could do to alleviate her suffering was done; but she realized that she must die, and after asking all her loved ones to be faithful, and meet her in the earth made new, she peacefully fell asleep. Funeral services were conducted by Elder Van Cleave, of the Baptist faith. W. R. KIRK.

NASH.—Dora Alice Helms Nash was born Aug. 26, 1870, and died Sept. 29, 1910. On June 9, 1910, she was united in marriage to Brother John Nash, but her married life was very brief. Her first Christian experience was in connection with the Christian Church. When the third angel's message came to her, she gladly received the light, and died in the hope of soon meeting her Lord, and being reunited with her loved ones. The husband and mother are left to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, at the home in Howard County, Indiana. A. L. MILLER.

SWEARINGEN.—Died at the home of her parents in Clovis, N. M., Charlotte Henrietta Swearingen, aged 6 years, 10 months, and 6 days. Though young, she always enjoyed studying the Sabbath-school lessons. Whenever we could have family prayers in the sick-room, she would join in the Lord's prayer. She was loved by all who knew her. We laid her to rest beside her brother Wilkie, who had passed away just four weeks before, to await the call of Jesus, a name ever dear to both. Elder Roy T. Benton spoke words of comfort to a large gathering of friends and relatives. Father, mother, three sisters, and many relatives and friends are left to mourn. MATTIE SWEARINGEN.

RE COTT.—Bertha Re Cott died at the Walla Walla (Wash.) Sanitarium, to which place she was brought in a very low condition, where it was found necessary to perform an operation, in order, if possible, to save her life. But although everything possible was done for her by the doctor and nurses, she peacefully fell asleep, after a two months' illness, on July 31, 1910. She was baptized and united with the church about three years ago. A few hours before her death, she told her father that her “trust was in the Lord.” The funeral was held August 1, on the college lawn at College Place, Wash., a large number of relatives, acquaintances, and friends being present.

COWGILL.—Died April 15, 1910, at the home of his eldest son, near Brady, Neb., T. B. Cowgill, aged 87 years, 9 months, and 23 days. Father was born in Ohio, but was raised in Indiana. In 1861 he accepted the third angel's message through the labors of Elders Waggoner and Shortridge, near Eddyville, Iowa. Though isolated for the most part since 1867, by reading the REVIEW and the Testimonies he was able to keep in touch with the message, and, we believe, sleeps in Jesus. He leaves six children to mourn the loss of a good father. By request he was brought to Tacoma, Wash., where he was laid to rest beside his children and grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at both Brady and Tacoma. MRS. M. J. SMITH.

JONES.—James P. Jones was born in Green County, Virginia, Oct. 24, 1827, and died near Henton, Va., Oct. 1, 1910, aged 82 years, 11 months, and 7 days. Brother Jones accepted the third angel's message about thirty years ago, and has faithfully lived the truth since that time. The past five years he has been totally blind, but by the constant companionship of one of his little granddaughters he has been enabled to make a number of visits to friends, and to attend quarterly meetings of the New Market church, of which he was a member. He is survived by three sons, one living near Henton, with whom he has been staying; one in California; and one in Pennsylvania. His wife and one son died while he was living in Illinois a number of years ago. The funeral services were held at Henton, in the presence of a large company, and the interment was made in the cemetery adjacent. Text, Luke 19:10. R. D. HOTTEL.

Teacher and Leader Needed in Bermuda

Responding to a call from the Bermuda Islands for a school-teacher and a leader of the little church in Hamilton, Brother H. P. Waldo, of Philadelphia, formerly of the Foreign Mission Seminary, sailed over a week ago from New York.

Westrup Granted Furlough to Sweden

GRANTED a furlough in order that his wife may regain health and strength, Elder J. J. Westrup, of the China Mission field, has gone to Sweden for several months. Not having seen his parents and relatives for twelve years, Brother Westrup will embrace this opportunity to labor for their conversion. Mail should be addressed to him in care of Mr. Palsson, Linneagaton, Limhamn, Malmo, Sweden.

Report on Mission Offerings

This week the treasurer of the General Conference makes a report of the offerings for missions during the last nine months. The figures in themselves may not be very interesting reading, but we trust every reader will note the figures in his own conference and the general totals, and join in prayer and labor to increase the flow of means into the treasury. Those figures mean much to needy fields at home and abroad.

Richardsons Return to Southern California

LEAVING Washington last week, Elder and Mrs. F. I. Richardson go to connect with the work in Southern California, their old field of labor. Their work in the Washington (D. C.) Sanitarium during the last few months has been blessed and greatly appreciated.

Gifts for Southern Mission Schools

THOSE conducting mission schools among the colored people of the South are grateful for gifts of clothing that have been sent, and for copies of the old edition of “Christ in Song” which some of our schools have discarded in getting the new edition. Any who still might help by such gifts are invited to write to Elder A. J. Haysmer (61 Lindsley Ave., Nashville, Tenn.), secretary of this department of work, who will be glad to give information as to where packages may be sent to meet cases of need.

An Elderly Sister’s Mission Gift

THE other day the mission treasury received fifteen dollars from a sister seventy-eight years old. It had been earned by needlework. “Though I am living on borrowed time,” our sister wrote, “my heart is in full accord with all efforts to help our missions.”

Worldwide Membership Statistics

THE last statistical report lists the total number of Sabbath-keepers identified with us at 100,931. The organized church-membership list stands at 88,502 in all the world. This actual church-membership is an increase of 5,357 during the year, being a gain for 1909 of nearly six and one-half per cent.

Ministry of Healing Campaign Progress

WE are glad that some of our churches are responding so promptly to the calls of the present time in the way of furnishing needed help to our medical institutions. Elder I. G. Bigelow, in a recent letter to Prof. B. G. Wilkinson, president of the Columbia Union Conference, reports that the church at Bradford, Pa., is practically ready for the jubilee on “Ministry of Healing” campaign. It has sold nearly its full quota of books, and will be able to turn in several dollars more than its full three years’ quota for both “Ministry of Healing” and Life and Health. This is a worthy example for our other churches, and we believe many others will be able to report as good progress in their efforts in this campaign.

Missionaries to Guatemala

We are informed that Brother J. G. Pettey and wife, of Texas, sailed from New Orleans last week for Guatemala. They go to teach in the English school in Guatemala City, in order ultimately to release Brother W. E. Hancock and wife for field work in that needy country. Brother Pettey and wife were former students of Keene Academy.

The Order of the Various Campaigns

By W. T. Knox

THE workers in the General Conference Treasury Department are being made fully aware of the fact that we have entered the Harvest Ingathering campaign. According to the published plan, the orders for this special number of the REVIEW were to be placed beginning October 1, and not later than October 15. The orders during the past three or four days have come in with a rush, and on October 9 requests for about two hundred thousand copies of the paper had already been booked.

Notwithstanding this, however, we are receiving letters from a few conferences that indicate that active work among the churches, by the conference laborers, has not yet begun. Some statements in the correspondence received would indicate that there is a degree of confusion existing in the minds of the writers on account of the number of campaigns that they find on hand, speaking as they do of the $300,000 Fund, “Ministry of Healing” campaign, and the Harvest Ingathering campaign conflicting. Now, these various enterprises need not conflict in any degree, inasmuch as it is only the $300,000 Fund that appeals directly to the finances of our own people. This is a fund that is to be made up by our own sacrifice and liberality.

The Harvest Ingathering campaign is an effort to enlist the interest and support of our neighbors and friends in the work being carried forward by us in sending the everlasting gospel to the world. This is to be a quick work. The active campaign is supposed to occupy not more than one or two weeks of our time, and at the very longest to be disposed of during the month of November.

The “Ministry of Healing” campaign is different from this in that we are carrying to the people a book of great value, the proceeds of which are to be used in the relief of our sanitariums. This is a work which is not designed to be finished necessarily this year, or even in 1911. Our people are given three years in which to dispose of the six copies of “Ministry of Healing” and fifteen copies of Life and Health.

It would seem that no confusing nor conflicting purposes should be realized in these efforts. The time, however, is now getting late for planning the Harvest Ingathering campaign, and if any have been delayed in beginning preparations, we hope they will be able to quickly marshal all forces for the effort.

Educational Convention Report

THE full report of the recent educational convention held at Berrien Springs, Mich., will be ready next week. Some of its more important features, which will appeal to our educators, ministers, members of school boards, and parents, are as follows: (1) Over a score of the papers read at the convention, with the accompanying discussions; (2) all the resolutions passed; and (3) complete outlines of the academic, collegiate, normal, commercial, and other courses of study. This is the largest report of its kind that has been published, containing over two hundred pages. Price, post-paid, 25 cents. Order at once from your conference tract society office.

A Korean Dispensary’s Work

THE report, in this number, of the nine thousand sick people passing through that little thatched dispensary in Korea is a wonderful one. It shows how much can be done with little, in dark places of human need and suffering.

Loma Linda Medical School

We are glad to learn by letter from Elder J. A. Burden, of the Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists, that the medical school has ten in its second-year class, and about twenty-four in the first-year class, and that altogether they have nearly two hundred students and workers in the different departments. This is certainly a very strong opening.

New Chaplain in Washington

LAST week Elder J. L. McElhaney and wife, formerly of Australasia, arrived in Washington, where he is to act as chaplain of the sanitarium and Bible teacher in the nurses' training-school.
