This number of the “Library” is a republication of “Miraculous Powers,” a pamphlet first published in 1862, which sustained the belief that spiritual gifts still existed in the church. It presents a compilation of extracts from the most prominent authorities in modern religious circles, the burden of whose testimonies is the support of the doctrine that in the church are still to be found powers of a miraculous nature, both as regards the gift of healing physical infirmities and being an instrument in the hands of God for communication with His church. Among those from whose writings quotations are taken, are Milman, D’Aubigné, Clarke, Bunyan, Milner, Geo. Fox, John Wesley, and numerous others no less prominent. 128 pages. Price, 15 cents.

This book is the fruit of many years close Bible study and careful research. It is written in an easy and attractive manner that will interest the old as well as young. A few of the chapters are: “The Most High Ruleth,” “Daniel in the Lions’ Den,” “The Last Years of the Babylonian Kingdom,” “Work of the Mystery of Iniquity,” and “The Closing Scene.” The proper methods of education are clearly set forth by the author in connection with Daniel’s early training. One of the many good features of this book is that the Scriptures referred to are printed at the side of the subject matter. The texts referring to the book of Daniel are printed in italics and those referring to other books of the Bible are printed in Roman type. The book contains 265 pages.

By Editor
Since penning the reference to Dowie in the editorial, we have had the privilege of an interview with one who was present when Dowie announced himself as Elijah the prophet returned to earth. He appointed his wife as his successor, and asked how many would support her in that office, and the whole audience voted in the affirmative. He then said that if he and his wife both passed away, he appointed his eldest son, now attending the university, to the succession, and asked how many would stand by him; and the whole audience joined in the affirmative again. But for Elijah to die would be a new experience, would it not? Why can Dowie not be his own successor, and re-incarnate as often as necessary? Yet we are in such an age of folly and deception that some will accept his vagaries. And while these things are going on in Chicago, two thousand two hundred and twenty Mormon missionaries are scattered through the country, propagating their equally wild and delusive doctrines among the people. What is the Church of Christ doing to stem the mighty tide of delusion? The spirit and prayer of the new missionary hymn needs to be fulfilled to the world to-day:— “Flash forth, O ye fathomless heavens,
That flame on this world may be shed;
Speak out, with a voice of a trumpet,
Thou Spirit, that waketh the dead.” Change of Location of Summer School and Lake Union Conference.
By P. T. Magan
THE summer school and institute which was to have been held at Gull Lake (near Battle Creek, Mich.) will not be held there, as heretofore announced. It will be held at Berrien Springs, Mich., and will begin July 10, as previously announced. The meeting of the Lake Union Conference, beginning July 10, will also be held at Berrien Springs, instead of at Gull Lake. Berrien Springs is located on the Milwaukee, Benton Harbor, and Columbus Railway. It is about sixteen miles from Benton Harbor, the great port of the southern part of Lake Michigan. It is about ten miles from Buchanan, a station on the main line of the Michigan Central Railroad. The M. B. H. & C. R. R. connect Berrien Springs with these two places. Teachers and students from the West would better take steamer at Chicago (Graham and Morton Line) for Benton Harbor. Arrived at Benton Harbor, take train on the M. B. H. & C. R. R., for Berrien Springs, or take the St. Joseph River Boat from Benton Harbor to Berrien Springs. Boats leave Chicago for Benton Harbor as follows:— | EASTBOUND |

Those coming from Indiana can take the Big Four direct to Benton Harbor. Teachers desiring missionary rates on the railroads should apply immediately to P. T. Magan, Battle Creek, Mich. It is the desire and earnest prayer of the General Conference Committee that this institute and summer school mark a new era in our educational work. Many of our best instructors are coming from all over the country. This will be to a large degree a union summer school conducted by the General Conference, our leading colleges and academies, and the Medical Missionary Training School. When a summer school was planned by the board of Union College, the brethren had not received word that this general summer school was to be held. Elder Hoopes, president of Union College, has conferred with the General Conference Committee, and in harmony with their advice has decided not to hold a summer school at Union College, but to join hands and forces with the school at Berrien Springs. He now urges all the Western church school teachers to attend the Berrien Springs school as far as they conveniently can do so. Later a short institute for the teachers will be held at Union College. The new Missionary College will probably be established in the vicinity of Berrien Springs. Broad plans for the general educational work must be laid in order that the work be pushed forward with zeal and consecrated energy. P. T. MAGAN,

By Editor
We are always glad and thankful to see notices of ordinations of new recruits to the work of the gospel ministry. There was an ordination at the North Pacific camp-meeting, and one name is mentioned. But the report indicated that there was at least another name to be added, the space for which, doubtless in the hurry of camp-meeting exercises, was left blank; and we have not succeeded in gaining the desired information. We mention this that the one whose name failed to appear, may not think it was intentionally omitted. Caution Regarding Claims Agents and State Moneys
