God’s Hand is Everywhere.

NO ONE can escape from the Almighty. Even a child must be struck by the following remarkable providence. In the United Service Museum, Whitehall Yard, London, are exhibited the jaws of a shark, wide open, inclosing a tin box. The history of this strange exhibition is thus given:

“A king’s ship, on her way to the West Indies, fell in with, and chased, a suspicious looking craft, which had all the appearance of a slaver. During the pursuit the chased vessel threw something overboard. She was subsequently captured, and taken to Port Royal to be tried as a slaver. In the absence of the ship’s papers and other proofs, the slaver was not only in a fair way to escape condemnation, but her captain was anticipating the recovery of pecuniary damages against his captor for illegal detention. While the subject was under discussion, a vessel came into port which had followed closely in the track of the chase above described. She had caught a shark, and in its stomach was found a tin box, which contained the slaver’s papers. Upon the strength of this evidence the slaver was condemned. The written account is attached to the box.”—Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle Magazine.

The Church Militant.

The administration of Christian churches sometimes irresistibly reminds us of the way in which some of our armies were handled by their generals during the war. There was most abundant supply of all kinds of munitions. There was rearing of elaborate defenses. The troops were incessantly drilled. The whole army resembled a splendid machine, every part adjusted on most scientific principles, every surface brilliantly polished, but no fire under the boilers! It was a grand army, but it never struck the enemy! Its own munitions and garnitures and preparations were too much for it.

The action of many ecclesiastical bodies seems to have a similar character. There is endless discussion of forms of doctrine and worship. There is careful nursing of denominational strength. All the internal relations of the church are elaborately adjusted. But the people perishing in misery in our great cities, the heathen at home, and the heathen abroad, are hardly touched at all.

An army is good for nothing except as it fights and conquers. A church is good for nothing except as it wins men to Christ, and raises them into better and happier ways of living.—Christian Union.

Love Should Reach All

Sometimes love may fall upon unworthy objects, but how much better this than to have no love. Suppose the rain should say, “I will not fall, there are so many desert places where the sand only soaks me up and gives forth no verdure.” No,—God’s rain and sunshine fall upon the just and the unjust, and the waste places as well as the fruitful. So our love should reach all.

LEARN TO WAIT.

Of all the lessons that humanity has to learn in life's school, the hardest is to learn to wait. Not to wait with the folded hands that claim life's prizes without previous effort, but having struggled, and crowded the slow years with trial, see no such result as effort seems to warrant—nay, perhaps disaster instead. To stand firm at such crises of existence, to preserve one's self-poise and self-respect, not to lose hold or to relax effort, this is greatness, whether achieved by man or woman—whether the eye of the world notes it, or it is recorded in that book which the light of eternity alone shall make clear to the vision.

The Springs of Futurity

IN GOD are the springs of futurity, and it is trampling on his rights to wish to foresee what is to happen, in order that we may protect ourselves from coming evil by our own endeavors.

Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

FELL asleep in Jesus, in Lakeville, Conn., Jan. 12, Mr. Spencer Addison, in the seventy-first year of his age. His disease was consumption. Bro. Addison embraced the third angel’s message about four years ago, and continued steadfast until his death. He leaves a wife and two children, who are also walking in the light of present truth, and rejoicing in the same blessed hope. Funeral services by the writer. Text, Job 14:14. WILLIAM H. WILD.

DIED, in Ocala, Florida, Nov. 25, 1871, my uncle, J. C. Gregory. The subject of this notice was a believer in the doctrines taught by Seventh-day Adventists. A. HOLYOAK.

DIED, in St. Charles, Saginaw Co., Mich., Nov. 29, 1871, Elizabeth Jones, wife of Andrew Jones, aged forty-six years and eight months. We have laid her in the grave to rest until the Life-giver comes, believing that she died in the Lord. Funeral sermon by Bro. Bates from 1 Cor. 15, proving the resurrection.

Also, died, Dec. 14, 1871, Eleanor Overton, sister of the above, of lingering consumption, aged fifty-five years, nine months, and eleven days. She died in the triumphs of faith. E. E. JONES.

DIED, in Healdsburg, Cal., Jan. 5, 1872, of consumption, Mrs. Anna L. Pool, wife of Joseph Pool, and only daughter of the wife of Bro. M. G. Kellogg, aged twenty-four years and fifteen days. Toward the last of her sickness, Anna resolved to keep all the commandments, and she indulged a hope to the last. Funeral services by the writer. M. E. CORNELL.

FELL asleep in Jesus, at Fairgrove, Tuscola Co., Mich., Dec. 25, 1871, Bro. Sherman Perkins, aged twenty-two years, eleven months, and twenty-three days. His disease was consumption. He died with a firm and enlightened hope of sharing with the people of God the promised joys of the new-earth state. Funeral discourse by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:13, 14. A. N. FISHER.

DIED, in Brunswick, Cumberland Co., Maine, Jan. 7, 1872, Bro. William Litchfield, aged sixty-six. He leaves a wife and children to mourn their loss, but they have no reason to mourn; as those without hope.

Bro. Litchfield was much respected as a citizen; he was exemplary in all his dealings; a kind and accommodating neighbor, and a consistent Christian. He was firm in his religious principles, contending earnestly for the faith of Jesus, that faith which was once delivered to the saints, and was always ready to give an answer to every man that asked him, the reason of the hope that was in him, with meekness and fear.

Some few years since he became interested on the Sabbath question and other views which are held by us, and by hearing a discourse on the law by Bro. Canright he was fully confirmed in our doctrine.

In the Autumn of 1870, he had a fall from an apple tree which gave him a severe shock. Soon after he was stricken down with paralysis, which prostrated him for some time. He rallied after awhile so as to labor some, and was out to meeting several times the past summer. He kept about till within a very short time of his demise. He appeared to be as well as usual, till the close of that day, when the messenger came, and he passed away, suddenly and very quietly. Thus passed away another member of our little flock, but we have the sweet consolation and blessed hope that when the Life Giver comes he will have a part in the first resurrection.

Funeral discourse by Bro. Abram Barnes, from Rev. 14:13. Wm. Gatchell.

News and Miscellany.

“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”

SPAIN is in a state bordering on revolution. The following dispatch dated, Madrid, Jan. 26, describes the very ominous scene that occurred on the dissolution of the Cortes, or the legislative assembly of the nation.

“A stormy scene followed the decree of dissolution of the Cortes. The House seemed taken by surprise, and the members seemed unable to conceal their indignation. Passionate speeches were made, which were answered with derisive cheers by the few supporters of the Ministry. One delegate exclaimed, ‘The time has come for barricades.’ The greatest uproar and confusion followed, amid which the sitting was declared to be at an end. It appears that Amadeus finally refused to accept the resignation of the Ministry, tendered by Senor Sagasta, and the decree dissolving the Cortes was issued in consequence. The people generally sympathize with the Deputies, and demand a retirement of the present government. The King is urged to accept their resignations and immediately form a new Cabinet. The agitation is very great in this city. Disturbances are feared, and the troops are under arms.”

—The idea of ceding Cuba to the United States finds no favor in Spain.

“In the Spanish Cortes, Diaz Quintera said it was quite time to cede Cuba to the United States, but he was howled down by the whole House.”

—There is reported to be no prospect of any immediate quelling of the revolution in Mexico. When she has sufficiently worn herself out by internal contention, her territory will probably be absorbed by the United States.

—Our difficulties with England respecting the Alabama claims, seem not so easily to be settled as many supposed they would be by the commission appointed to adjudicate the matter. A dispatch dated New York, Jan. 22, says:

“A London letter says, Englishmen are much dissatisfied with the statement of the American case submitted by the Geneva arbitrators, and it is stated that the English public, and probably the government, are startled at the extent of the demands made. The Britishers will warmly contest every point contended for by the Americans.”

“Mr. O. W. M. P. for Chatham, addressed his constituents to-night, Jan. 26, upon political affairs. He expressed the opinion that the state of Europe was pregnant with complications which might lead to war. He also discussed, at great length, the Alabama question, and, in the course of his remarks, said that if the claim of the United States was granted, war between England and that country would become a necessity. He added that this blunder of the English government might become a cause for future discussion at Poland, and deprecated the honors which have been conferred upon the negotiation of the Treaty of Washington.”

—In Paris all places of business were closed on the 27th inst., the anniversary of the capitulation of the city. Agents in behalf of the restoration of Napoleon are active. M. Thiers, during the recent crisis, said that if Napoleon had 50,000,000 francs, he would be in power in fifteen days.

—In Persia we have the spectacle of a country fast becoming depopulated by the horrors of famine. The Detroit Post of Jan. 23, says:—

The famine in Persia is becoming absolutely terrible. The agent of the London Relief Society at Ispahan telegraphs that ten thousand persons are dependent upon him for aid. Three thousand people in the whole country, according to the estimate, die daily from starvation. Fifteen thousand dollars a month would not provide food for those who have nothing to eat. This seems horrible enough in these days of plenty. Yet famines were somewhat common in Europe a thousand years ago, and frequent among the nations living previous to the Christian era. Probably the mortality was not so great, because the population was not so dense. But the same causes produced in those days the same effects. There was a want of agricultural knowledge and skill; a want of foresight, an inefficient government, and, more than all, isolation. Persia could be helped were she not isolated. In those ancient days all communities were more or less isolated. The masses of the people in Christendom who still have grievances, some of which are real, and some imaginary, are not exposed to be swept away by famine. They have advanced, at least, so far as that.”

Revival Work Progressing

By Uriah Smith

The revival work in this place is still progressing with so far very favorable results. Meetings have been held since Conference nearly every evening. Most of the real work, however, is done outside of the meetings. It is being clearly demonstrated that the most effectual way for a church to rise is to go to work themselves. The work seems to be taking deeper and deeper hold upon the hearts of those engaged in it, with a prospect for permanent results. Not only is the church being benefited, but the influence of the movement has spread, to some extent, outside of the church. And yet we rejoice, not so much in what God has already wrought, as in what he has promised, and in what we expect to see accomplished. U. S.

Two Important Works.

By J. H. W.

THE HEALTH INSTITUTE has now in course of publication, soon to be issued, a very complete work by Dr. Trall, on “Tobacco-using.” It is philosophical, full of truth of great importance, and cannot fail to be of deep interest to every lover of true reform. Under the head of “Moral Evils of Tobacco-using,” a comparison is instituted between the effects of tobacco and liquor on the moral intuitions of those who use them. The following remarks will give an idea of the whole:—

“Tobacco-using, even more than liquor-drinking, disqualifies the mind for exercising its intuitions concerning right and wrong; it degrades the moral sense below the intellectual recognitions. Alcohol so disturbs the mind as to confuse the reason more than it dethrones the conscience, while tobacco debases the moral sense more than it confuses the intellect.”

This paragraph is worthy of careful attention; and Dr. Trall fortifies his positions with very forcible reasoning.

Every one must admit that the following remarks present the true basis of correct judgment concerning, not only the subject of this book, but every question of duty:—

“To perceive truth, one must live truthfully. To understand what relation the things of this world and the beings of this universe bear to each other, or to himself, one must be in normal conditions. To be the true interpreter of the book of nature, one must live in obedience to the mandates of the Author of that book.”

Without any query as to the religious status of the writer, we will say, There is more genuine religion in the above paragraph than in many sermons we have heard.

The other book is made up of choice matter compiled from “Dr. Graham’s Lectures on the Science of Life.” Health reformers should be well acquainted with these writings, as Dr. G. was the true pioneer of health reform; and he grasped the principles of the subject and presented them to the world in a masterly manner. Indeed, we have sometimes thought, while reading Graham’s Lectures, that he left but little to be done by those who followed him but to exemplify and illustrate the truths he laid down. His lecture on the teeth is valuable beyond computation. It is a clear and thorough refutation of the oft-repeated claim that the structure of the human teeth proves that man should be classed with meat-eating animals. We are sure our friends will hail these publications with pleasure, and procure, and read them with care. They will be advertised in due time.

These will be followed by other works by Dr. Trall, whom we consider the most scientific living exponent of the principles of health reform.
