Weekly Offerings for Missions

THE constant appeals for help, and the providential openings in our mission fields, make it all the more imperative that we should meet these demands by faithfulness in our weekly offerings. Our missionary operations in the regions beyond have reached such proportions that we must have a regular income to maintain them. If all begin to give definitely for missions, the means to carry the message to every dark corner of the earth will easily be provided, the world will soon be warned, and “then shall the end come.” The Mission Board has a supply of weekly offering envelopes for collecting the offerings, which they will be glad to send to any churches that have not yet received them.

The Christian Is Not a Pessimist

SCARCELY a day now passes when we do not note in the newspaper columns statements by men prominent in political, educational, religious, or business affairs, indicative of the apprehension that fills men’s minds at this time in view of what they see taking place in nature, in politics, and in society. There is on earth “distress of nations, with perplexity,” and “men’s hearts failing them for fear.” Many point to those who thus speak as being “pessimists,” and declare that nobody need be worried, since all things will continue as usual. But who wants things to continue in this way? Who that knows a thousandth part of the misery and crime that blight human life throughout the world to-day, does not sigh for the coming of a great and a speedy change? The Christian looks forward to such a change, exclaiming, “Behold, He cometh”! The Christian who predicts the speedy end of earthly affairs is not a pessimist. Rather does he look up and lift up his head, because his redemption, and the redemption of the whole creation that groaneth and travaileth in pain because of sin (Rom. 8:22), draweth nigh. The true pessimist is the one who says there will be no change, but that the sickening record of crime, suffering, and strife is to continue indefinitely.

Miss Marcelia Walker Sails for Sumatra

MISS MARCELIA WALKER, a trained nurse, sailed from New York, November 15, for Padang, Sumatra, where she will join Elder and Mrs. R. W. Munson in their work. Sister Walker has been under appointment for a year, and left Battle Creek with a happy heart, glad at last for the privilege of entering upon her chosen work.

Letter from Japan

A LETTER from Brother and Sister E. H. Wilbur reports the arrival of their vessel in Yokohama, Japan, October 21. There Brother W. D. Burden met the Drs. Lockwood, from the Portland Sanitarium, who will open up medical work in Tokyo. Our workers for China proceeded on to Hongkong, where they will locate for the present.

Evangelical Work in Samoa

BROTHER W. E. FLODING and wife arrived in Apia, Samoa, October 11. Our workers in that field are of good courage, and feel that with this additional help they will be able to do much evangelical work. But they call for a boat, in order to go from place to place with the books and tracts. “Christ Our Saviour” has recently been translated into the Samoan language, and the greater part of it has already been placed in the hands of the printers at Cooranbong.

Progress at the Bible Echo Office

THE circulation of the Bible Echo, our missionary journal in Australasia, is increasing. The denominational work done at the Echo office the past year increased thirty-eight per cent, while the commercial work increased less than one per cent. New machinery has recently been purchased for use in various departments of the institution, and a spirit of unity and earnestness prevails among the workers. The lack of rain which has been so severely felt there is not nearly so great a hindrance to the progress of the truth as the spiritual drought which is sometimes coincident with periods of prosperity in material things.

The Third Angel’s Message Is Missionary

THE third angel's message is emphatically a missionary message. Those to whom this message has been intrusted must be, therefore, a missionary people. The REVIEW is a missionary journal for this people. Can you not interest some of those around you in the missionary work, and awaken in them a desire to give themselves to such work or to help support it, by interesting them in our church paper? No Seventh-day Adventist anywhere should be without it.

The Call to Reach the World

THE following words from James L. Barton, secretary of the American Board of Foreign Missions, express the spirit that is filling the minds of those upon whom God has laid the burden of his work in this closing hour of time:—

There has never been a time when the voice of God was more clearly understood as he points his followers to the ends of the earth, and bids them go in the name of the Master and make Christ known to all. Never has he spoken more clearly, demanding that we sacrifice that which we hold dearest and best, in the name of him who kept nothing back, in order that a world might be redeemed. A generation of obedience upon the part of those who profess allegiance to our crucified Lord would carry the gospel of salvation to the remotest corners of the earth, and give every race and kindred and tongue and people an opportunity personally to know him whom to know aright is life eternal.

Unflinching Determination

It is not nearly so important to discuss various ways in which the work of giving the message may be carried to completion, as it is to imbibe the spirit of unalterable and unflinching determination to complete it,—to go forward and in some way surmount the obstacles, however great.

Independent Church Movement in the Philippines

NATIVE Catholic clergy and laymen in the Philippine Islands are reported to have begun a movement for an independent church organization, and are planning to appeal to the courts to obtain possession of certain churches and other property in the islands. The movement is being closely watched by the government, as apparently the larger part of the native clergy are in sympathy with it.

The Imperfections of Human Government

The termination of what is probably the most sensational murder trial ever conducted in this country, gives occasion for some reflections on the imperfections of the machinery of human government, even in the most perfect government that men can devise. After a trial which involved an unprecedented expenditure of time and money, and the most careful and elaborate use of the legal machinery in the metropolis of the nation, the prisoner was adjudged guilty and sentenced to death. After spending four years in jail he is granted a new trial, and is acquitted. Two such opposite results, reached in the same court under the operation of the same law, coupled with the four years’ imprisonment of a man now declared innocent, constitute a strong comment on the imperfect character of that branch of the state government under which the proceedings were taken. As Christians, we desire a better government, and look forward to that true and perfect “government of the people by the people” which Christ is to establish on the earth at the close of the judgment day.

Colorado Sanitarium Nurses' Training School
