Earlier text: Sectionalism in the Work of GodWords of Faith.
By L. C. Canright
The other day as I was looking over my stored treasures, many of them relics of early childhood, I took up a neatly folded and written paper, yellow with age, and somewhat worn by use, containing some of the last words of my dying father, Eld. S. T. Cranson. Thus reminded of this dear parent, who was once with us, and who faithfully taught us our first lessons of the coming One, tears flowed freely; but through them I could read those words of faith and patience, which now give comfort and the blessed assurance that he who uttered them and has slept for these many years, will shout victory over the grave in the bright morning of the resurrection, which will soon dawn. In the triumph of his dying hour, he exclaimed: “Oh, what patience! Oh, what resignation! The Lord has let me feel some of his glory to-day. The Sabbath, oh! the Sabbath, that blessed truth. Oh! how precious: Oh! that all would feel what I have felt! I am testing my religion now. Oh, glory! Don’t look to the cross for the atonement, but look to the sanctuary, where Jesus is. Confess your sins. Oh, the third angel’s message! It is truth. It will gather out a few honest ones for the kingdom.” He often repeated, “Perfect peace. I long for rest. Oh! for patience. Keep your eye on the kingdom. The kingdom is coming, it is coming. Jesus is coming soon. Tell the brethren to hold on to the third angel’s message. It is right. It is SOLID AS A ROCK.” His last words were, “I thank the Lord for patience.” Nearly a score of years have passed since these words were uttered, but in them is expressed the same hope that we now love to dwell upon. Since 1855 much light has shone upon the pathway of the people of God. What to them then was faith, we now clearly see. What then was to them as the rising of the morning sun, is to us as the shining of the sun at midday. If holy zeal and consecration characterized the life of the believer in the early part of this work, how much should these graces be manifested by us so much farther down the stream of time. Have we not reason to rejoice in the possession of this precious truth? If at an earlier period they could rejoice in the third angel’s message, we have ten-fold more reason for rejoicing now when our redemption is so near at hand. Then let us review the evidences of our hope, and forever put away doubting and uncertainty. “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised.” Heb. 10: 23. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, whom resist steadfast in the faith.” 1 Peter 5: 8, 9. This counsel was given over eighteen hundred years ago, yet perhaps there never was a time in the history of the church when the facts stated were truer and the counsel more needed than now. Satan has had a long experience since then, and has by no means lost any of his power and artfulness. He is the originator of all evil. His whole satanic power is brought to bear in this direction, and legions of evil spirits go and come at his bidding to aid in his diabolical work. Well might the apostles represent him as a roaring lion, and much more to be dreaded. How can we expect to escape such a host of evil spirits, unless we are clothed with the whole armor of God? The apostle exhorts us to soberness or seriousness and watchfulness, and to resist steadfast in the faith. Now a faith based on theory alone will not answer. We must have a practical faith, or in other words, we must steadfastly adhere to the teaching of God’s word, by daily practicing them in our lives. In doing this we shall be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Paul says, “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Eph. 6: 11. “But the end of all things is at hand be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.” 1 Pet. 4: 7. Is this not a very important time to heed this counsel? One reason why so many are weak and have not a deep experience is, because secret prayer and watchfulness are neglected. Fervent, effectual prayer prevails with God. Prayer is our stronghold. Let us often be found at the throne of grace. C. LAWTON. The Great Question.
By A. W. Gould
“WHAT good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” Ans. “Keep the commandments.” Matt. 19: 16, 17, last clause. Although this question is many centuries old, the answer is of as much importance today as when first given. The young man who made this inquiry was not satisfied with his attainments. Mark says, a “rich man,” and Luke says, a “ruler,” inquires, “Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He understood without doubt that on account of transgression, man had lost the glory with which he was clothed; Heb. 2: 7, 8; and because of his rebellion he was driven from the garden of Eden. Gen. 3: 24. Afterward, through the goodness of God, he was not permitted to eat of the tree of life, and thereby become an immortal sinner. Sin separated man from God. “He who has forfeited all rights has no claim for pardon.” Now what is to be done to regain what was lost at the fall of man? Jesus says, If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Here the Sovereign requires obedience of his subjects. But the apostle testifies in Rom. 7: 14: “For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.” Sold to whom? To the law. Terrible is the state of the lost sinner, and he is in a condition from which he is unable to emancipate himself. Sin is the transgression of the law, and the law demands his life. But, oh! the mercy and goodness of God, of whom it is said that he “so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The Father gave his Son to suffer for us, and bear our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness. What wondrous love! It is beyond human comprehension. He says to us, Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price. The penalty has been paid. The sinner can now look to One mighty to save, and can hope as he reads, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” Is this boon free to all? The invitation is extended to all, “Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.” Isa. 45: 22. Only a few choose to accept it. He says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14: 6. “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” Chap. 5: 40. What is the reason, when salvation has been made at such an infinite cost? Our Lord says, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Matt. 16: 24. “And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. Chap. 10: 38. It is written, “For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” Heb. 2: 10. All who enlist in the army under his supervision will be tested. The young man did not stand the test. He had confidence in himself, and thought he was keeping the law. Jesus would lead him to see that he had idols in his heart, that he loved his possessions more than God, and said to him, “If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven; and come and follow me.” He began to see he had a work to do to follow Christ, and turned away, preferring to remain in the rebel army, under the administration of Satan, and “enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.” Heb. 11: 25. He who would be loyal and successful, must “endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ,” be whole-hearted in his service, and follow him regardless of consequences. He goes halves with none, but says, “Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” He calls his sheep by name, and leads them out. Those who hear his voice, and give heed to his counsel, will be refreshed by the latter rain, and will say, “Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us.” Isa. 25: 9. A. W. GOULD. I FEEL when I read our paper much as I do in a good social meeting where there are a great many short, sweet testimonies, something in every one to inspire in me a zeal to do all the work I can for the Lord. How often I have felt that I would give the word of my testimony in our paper, but would wait for a convenient time to do it, until I would lose a sense of the duty. Not one sin is left untouched in the REVIEW, so that those who read it are without excuse, and those who might read it and do not are accountable for the neglect. One man requested to have his REVIEW stopped for the reason that he could not under present circumstances obey the truths it taught, and it kept him in condemnation. The Lord does all he can to save us; and if we walk in all the light that is now shining we shall have strength to endure the trials by the way and be fitted for translation; but how few can say they do not fail in some points, and how the Lord bears with us! My prayer is, that I may obey all the testimonies that God is giving to his people, that my light may not become darkness; for how great would be that darkness! Yours, hoping to obey all the truth by which we may be sanctified and saved, C. BYINGTON. Sanctified.
By Mary E. Guilford
JESUS prayed to the Father “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth,” John 17: 17. How are we to be sanctified by the truth? By living in obedience to its claims. The word of God is truth. Then if we carefully study the word of God and live in harmony with its teachings, being careful to obey not only a part, but the whole truth, we shall be sanctified by it. But, exclaims one, it is so inconvenient to do all these things; it separates us so from the world; it lays so many heavy crosses upon us; it makes us so peculiar; it causes us to walk with such shamefacedness, and to deny ourselves of so many things which please our fancy, and which really seem to us harmless and innocent. And then, there are some duties and obligations required which are so humiliating. Yes, my friend, and all this is for your best good. Without this separation from the world; without this thorough transformation, you will never be fitted for the society of holy angels. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2 Cor. 6: 17, 18. Those who would be the disciples of Jesus must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him. For he says, “Whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14: 27. The people of God ever have been a peculiar people. Those that live in the last days, faithful adherents of God’s truth, will be noted for their peculiarity. Such will Jesus claim for his own; for he is to “purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Titus 2: 14. Is it a hard thing that we are required to deny self? to give up those things which are hurtful and injurious? to “cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God”? Is it a hard thing in this evil and corrupt generation, that we should adorn ourselves in “modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but with good works”? 1 Tim. 2: 9, 10. Too humiliating! Read 1 Pet. 5: 5, 6: “Be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.” Again, Matt. 23: 12, “And whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted.” The promises and threatenings of God’s word might be multiplied on these points, but would occupy too much space. And now, which will ultimately pay the best? To be conformed to this world? to enjoy its honors? its pleasures? its luxuries? living merely for self-gratification and present enjoyment, and finally meet the wrath of God, fall under his condemnation, and receive the reward of the disobedient? or to humble yourself before God, and be not conformed to this world? but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God, Rom. 12: 2, that you may be sanctified by the truth, and be saved? “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land; but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” Isa. 1: 19, 20. If your heart is filled with supreme love to God, and your highest aim and object be to worship him, and advance the interest of his cause, the scorn and contempt of a cold, unfeeling world, will not move you. It is pride, selfish pride, and a lack of consecration and devotion to God, that causes the blush of shame and mortification to mantle the cheek, when the finger of scorn is pointed at those who are trying to serve God, and they are held up to ridicule before an ungodly world. O, I entreat you to cut loose from the world. What are the enjoyments of this poor life, compared with the “eternal weight of glory” which awaits the people of God? what the society of the world, compared with the society of Jesus and holy angels? what the fame, the wealth, the honors of earth, compared with the riches of Heaven, and the honor that comes from God? O, cut loose! cut loose! Consecrate yourself to God. Devote the remainder of your days to his service. Obey the truth that you may be sanctified by it and be saved when Jesus comes. SOME prayer-meetings are habitually conducted on the principle of stimulation instead of nutrition. Young converts who attend them unconsciously imbibe the idea that religion consists in “getting happy,” and at last they learn by bitter experience, what they should have been early taught by their spiritual advisers, that a man cannot live on cordials, but must have food. Many a case of backsliding might be traced to the disappointment resulting from spasmodic and fruitless struggles after religious joy, and might have been prevented by a steady pursuit of truth and duty.—Sel. A MAN may go to Heaven without health, without wealth, without honor, without learning, without friends; but he can never go to Heaven without Christ. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. DIED, of palsy, April 7, 1871, at Gilbert’s Mills, Oswego Co., N. Y., Joel Chaffee, aged seventy-seven years. Bro. Chaffee was a believer in the near coming of Christ in 1843, and embraced the Sabbath and kindred truths about fifteen years ago. He was strict in his observance of the Sabbath, was a kind husband and father, a social and agreeable neighbor, and a man of strict integrity. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of neighbors and friends who listened attentively to a discourse from Rev. 22: 3: “There shall be no more curse.” DAVID ARNOLD. DIED, in Portland, Maine, after five months of pining illness, Mrs. Elizabeth Rose, in the sixty-third year of her age. She has been an observer of the Sabbath for sixteen years, and a consistent Christian. She leaves a husband and many friends to mourn her loss. A comforting discourse was preached by Eld. J. B. Goodrich from 1 Thess. 4: 13. E. LÖBDELL. DIED, in Darlington, April 20, 1871, Mary, wife of L. Chamberlin, aged fifty-eight years, eight months, and twenty days. She had been a great sufferer for five years. She embraced the Advent faith eight years ago, and died in the blessed hope of having part in the first resurrection. L. CHAMBERLIN. DIED, in Moreland, Schuyler Co., N. Y., April 16, 1871, my dear sister A. Elizabeth, wife of Henry C. Sayler, in the thirty-first year of her age. Our sister had been seriously inclined for some time, and about two weeks before her death decided to devote her life to the service of God. She was possessed of great decision of character, and we have reason to hope that her conversion was genuine. When she found she was dying, she clasped her hands in prayer and then peacefully fell asleep. She leaves a husband and infant son to mourn her loss. A golden chain is broken,
A gentle voice is hushed,
A precious form is laid away
To slumber in the dust.
But oh! ’tis not forever;
For He who once has given
His life a ransom that through him
We might be heirs of Heaven,
Will break those prison portals,
And raise her from the tomb,
To reign with him forevermore
Where death can never come.

NASON HOYT. To the Churches of the Wisconsin Conference.
By N. M. JORDON
As the time is drawing near for our yearly State Conference, let us as churches get our financial matters in good order preparatory for the same. Your secretary has not received any report the past Conference year from the following-named churches: Albany, Avon, Mauston, Poy Sippi, and Trempeleau. We ought to have received a quarterly report from each of those churches. Will the officers of those churches please forward me a report of their financial condition, and of moneys paid to ministers or to the Conf. Treasurer during the past Conference year? I have received but one report from a number of other churches. Will such please report in full. Also our ministers that have neglected to report quarterly, will they do so now? There has been but a very small part of the amount which the churches owed the Conference at the commencement of the present year, paid to the Conf. Treasurer as yet. As this debt goes to the General Conference, would it not be well for the churches to go to the State Conference prepared to pay it? If any of our churches should not know what their part of the debt is, I will inform them if they will write me. I think with a little exertion on the part of each church to pay their part of the debt, it will be paid this Conference year. N. M. JORDON.
Sec. Wis. Conference. Friends, judicious publishers of periodicals, whether they be religious, scientific, rural, political, or literary, are ever loth to part with their patrons. We are exceedingly loth to part with any of you. You need the benefits of the Review, and we need your liberal patronage. Come, then, and let us cheerfully perform our mutual duties, and let the mutual benefits continue. We have enlarged and improved the Review, and do all we can to make it interesting and instructive; and we earnestly invite you to fulfill on your part. We mean, simply, that you should pay up. Yes, pay up, and pay in advance. But there is a certain class of our readers that the circumstances demand the utmost lenity on our part. We mean those who have received the Review by the kindness of their friends, and whose time has expired. These will this week find a blue pencil mark on the margin of their paper. And this will hereafter signify that the number of the Review that has the blue mark is the last that will be sent till the subscription is renewed. What we want is simply this, that all who see the blue mark on the margin of their paper, immediately write to have the Review continued, and send $2.00 to pay a year in advance. But what is better, and what we recommend to all our readers, is to keep ahead of the blue mark. That is, pay a few weeks before the time of your subscription expires, and then you will never see the blue mark. We are fully convinced that the strict pay-in-advance system cannot be kept up in any other way than to discontinue when the time is up. Our extreme indulgence has set a bad example to our patrons, and led some of them to be careless. But we design before New Year's to bring all to the strict pay-in-advance system. That is, to discontinue all subscriptions when the time is up, after giving them a fair warning by the blue mark. The Blue Mark.
By James White
THE mark with a blue pencil on the margin of the REVIEW signifies, to all those who receive it, that the number containing it is the last they have paid for, and the last they will receive, until they renew their subscription by paying in advance. J. W. See the very close of the last column of the last page of the paper where the terms of the REVIEW are given; and notice in particular the closing note relative to the blue cross. This at present relates to those only who had requested the REVIEW stopped when the time to which they had paid was up. Pay up, friends, and then we will stop the REVIEW at your request. J. W. Missouri Camp-Meeting.
By James White
Elders Canright and Littlejohn will have charge of the Missouri camp-meeting, so far, at least, as it relates to the religious services. They should be on the ground several days in advance as counselors in the general preparations for the meeting. We shall send posters which should be used far and wide that the people may be properly notified. The new tent is completed, and we ordered it shipped from Chicago the 12th, to J. H. Rogers, Kidder, Mo. The cost of the tent in Chicago is $390.87. The top is 12 oz. duck; the wall 8 oz. We have paid for the tent. And all we ask for our trouble, and the use of the money advanced, is that the brethren in the West will take immediate measures to pay us the sum we have paid for the tent; or, immediately after camp-meeting ship it to Battle Creek at their expense. Minnesota Camp-Meeting Date Changed
By James White
By request of the Minnesota Conference Committee, the time of the Minnesota camp-meeting is changed to June 29—July 4. It may be best to hold a camp-meeting at LaPorte, Iowa, June 15–19, as it is probable that we may be able to attend the western camp-meetings. J. W. To the S. B. Treasurers of Iowa.
By George Ide Butler
I learn from the Conference Treasurer, Bro. R. M. Kilgore, that there is but a small amount of funds in the treasury at the present time, and that much less has been paid to him this year than usual. I desire to call your attention to this fact before the delegates leave for the State Conference so that there may be a special effort made that the treasury may not lack funds to meet its liabilities. Expenses have been high the past year, especially tent expenses. But if all our brethren will make a little exertion to meet their pledges, there will be an abundance. Brethren, let us all fulfill our vows to God. Council Bluffs, Iowa, May 11, 1871. “Can ye not discern the signs of the times?” The dispatches from Paris and Berlin begin to be exciting. From Berlin we are told that Bismarck and Favre have finally concluded the treaty of peace between France and Germany, and that the money difficulties are all settled, so that the Germans will immediately deliver to the Versailles forces the forts near Paris, and will also release all the remaining French prisoners of war, and forward them to France as fast as the railroads can carry them. As these captive French are the very flower of the old French army, they will at once swell the ranks of the Versailles army to formidable proportions, and effectually stamp out the insurrection, if any of it is left when they arrive at the scene of operations. But what effect their release may have upon the fortunes of Napoleon, and the schemers for his restoration, remains to be seen. Evidently French government and political affairs are approaching a crisis. From Paris we have exciting news. The Commune seems to be breaking up. Cluseret is still in arrest. Rossel, of whom so much was expected, has resigned and been placed under arrest; because he positively refuses to serve unless he is made supreme dictator. Other generals have been applied to, and have made the same answer; and several have resigned. Meanwhile, without the walls, and in plain view from the ramparts, heavy masses of the Versailles army have gathered, preparing to storm the walls, which have been much shattered by a heavy and continuous fire at short range. Fort d’Issy has fallen; and Fort Vanvres is expected to surrender at any moment. While all is confusion within, and active and threatening preparation without, the Commune leaders are carrying out their barbarian threat, and destroying the column in the Place Vendome—the most magnificent work of art and monument of French glory in all Paris, which has long been the pride of the nation, and the inspiration of its soldiers. The vandals who destroy this monument are themselves not soldiers; for, if they had fought with half the valor and skill of the heroes in memory of whose triumphs it was erected, Paris would not now be under the guns of a foreign army holding the strongest of its forts, or given over to the mercy of a “red” mob.—Det.
