Southern Illinois, Attention!

By M. G. Huffman

PLEASE take notice that there will be a general meeting held at Mount Erie, Wayne Co., Ill., Oct. 23-27, 1901. Elders Allen Moon, W. D. Curtis, Chas. Thompson, and E. S. Butz, and the writer will be present during the entire meeting. There will be many important matters to consider pertaining to the interest and work in the southern part of the great State of Illinois. Hence all who possibly can come should be here at the very first meeting, especially the brethren and sisters of Noble, West Salem, Willow Hill, Keenville, Golden Gate, Albion, and Salem. We have rented houses and rooms to accommodate all who may come; but it will be expected that all will come prepared to board themselves, and will bring bedding and bedticks. Straw can be had here. These accommodations will be practically free of charge, hence no one can render an excuse for not coming because of the expense. Come praying that the Lord may so bless this meeting that it can be truly said that it was the best ever held in the State, or anywhere else. All who can should come as soon as Tuesday, October 22, in order to get settled before the first meeting, Wednesday. If any should desire anything special, they should notify me at once at Mt. Erie, and if possible I will get it for them. I would like to know how many contemplate coming, and how many horses will be brought, that I may arrange accordingly. M. G. HUFFMAN.

The University of Chicago Hygienic Dining-Rooms.

By David Paulson

We have felt for some time that we ought to open up dining rooms near the University of Chicago, where there are nearly three thousand students in attendance. This would be the means of not only furnishing these people of the school with food which would make them healthier and happier, but it would give our workers an opportunity to reach some of the best students and members of the faculty with other reformatory truths. Although the enterprise has not yet been in operation two weeks, we have already succeeded beyond our fondest expectations.

These educational people are perfectly delighted with our hygienic meals, and not a day passes but something takes place that is a source of special encouragement to those of our workers who are leading out in this movement. Our dining room is already beginning to be patronized by members of the faculty, and the number of students in attendance is increasing as rapidly as our workers are developing experience to care for them.

We trust that our brethren will remember this undertaking in their prayers, that it may be the means, in the hands of God, not only of creating favorable impressions of our work, but that it may be a place where divine truth shall fall into good and honest hearts, and bear fruit that we shall rejoice to see in the kingdom.

Story of Daniel the Prophet.

THIS is an excellent holiday book. In connection with the familiar story of the life of the prophet, it gives the subject of the Sanctuary in a clear and impressive manner, and a clear exposition of the prophecies. It contains the gospel for this time, and should have a large circulation. The treatment of the subject of proper methods of education is one of special importance.

Only one style of binding; price, 75 cts. Kept in stock by all State tract societies.

Very Important.

“TESTIMONIES FOR THE CHURCH,” Vol. VI, No. 34, is indispensable. Neither public workers nor laymen can do the work of the message without the testimonies contained in this volume for this special time. In the midst of present perplexities and dangers, and the whirl of life, this volume will be a “lamp unto the feet and a light unto the path” of God’s people. One entire section of the book contains the following chapters regarding the subject of education: The Needs of Educational Reform, Character and Work of Teachers, School Homes, The Avondale School Farm, Hindrances to Reform, Words from a Divine Instructor, Industrial Reform, Church Schools, School Management and Finance.

This volume contains 498 pages. Bound in cloth, $1.00; Library, $1.50; Leather, $1.50.

Empires of the Bible.

THE empires of the Bible, from the origin of nations at Babel to the captivity of Judah, form one connected story of the rise and fall of those early peoples. The Bible narrative and historical records brought to light by modern research in Egypt and Babylon are so interwoven as to give in the clearest manner the dispersion and the subsequent development of the great empires of Egypt and Assyria, and the founding of the races from which the great nations of later times developed. The work contains 24 colored maps, and is indispensable to every student of ancient and Bible history.

410 pages, bound in cloth......... $1.50

The Great Empires of Prophecy.

“The Great Empires of Prophecy” is a history of the great nations of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia, and Rome, as outlined in the prophecies of Daniel. In this work the most interesting portions of all history are set forth in the clearest and most attractive style, giving the influences which caused the uplifting and final decay of each nation. The testimonies of more than eighty of the greatest historians are given, making the work at once a cyclopedia of history and an invaluable book of reference.

712 pages, 22 full-page colored maps; cloth, $2.00.

Ecclesiastical & Empire

Is a complete history of the Roman Church from the fall of the Roman Empire to the present day. It canvasses the career of Europe’s kingdom during the Dark Ages, examines the religious controversies of the principal papal councils during the time of the papal supremacy, showing its intolerant spirit and resultant anarchy. It traces from its origin the growth of the Reformation, pointing out the principles of true Christianity. The latter part of the book deals with national apostasy as it is, and tells what its end is to be as revealed in the word of prophecy. A full exposition of the great question of the day—the relation of Church and State—of which no student nor teacher in Seventh-day Adventist schools can afford to be ignorant.

Your Children's

First impressions are those that will last the longest, and will exert the greatest influence in their lives. A serious consideration of this fact has impelled the movement toward more pure and correct teaching for Seventh-day Adventist children. And this does not apply alone to schoolbooks. Associated with a forward movement in educational work is the step taken to provide for our children a story of the Bible that shall not only be free from error, but shall bring naturally before their minds the great truths that distinguish God's remnant people. “Easy Steps in the Bible Story” was the name chosen for the series, the first book of which has already been published. This leads the child along the Bible narrative from “the beginning,” to the time when the law was spoken on Sinai. In clear, simple language, that the children can understand, the early incidents and events of Bible history are related, and the lessons of the Creation, the Flood, the Call of Abraham, the Life of Joseph, and the Deliverance of Israel are pressed home. It is safe to say that the little child into whose hands this book is placed will have nothing to unlearn.

Read what some of our workers say about

Easy Steps in the Bible Story.

That best of all Bible books for the children—“Easy Steps in the Bible Story”—gains the unqualified approval of the children themselves, and that is the best possible testimony in its favor. They are glad to read it more than once. And the book will bear reading more than once; that is its strength.

ELDER A. T. JONES.

God would have the story of the creation; of the flood; of His servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; of Joseph and Moses; and the deliverance of the children of Israel—of His wonderful dealings with mankind,—repeated in the language of the people. This is what “Easy Steps” does. It gives the story of what God says, and what He has done in His dealings with the children of men.

ELDER STEPHEN N. HASKELL.

This is an excellent book to sell for children between now and the holidays. Those who are selling it report splendid success. Order a canvasser’s outfit of your State tract secretary. Full-book prospectus, 25 cts. Price of the book, 25 and 50 cts. Fifty per cent discount to agents.

Report of Adventist Minister Shooting Is False

A READER of the REVIEW writes us from Iuka, Miss., inquiring as to the veracity of a report published in a Memphis (Tenn.) paper (and which presumably has been scattered broadcast) that in Carbondale, Ill., October 5, a man named Brown was shot and killed by a Seventh-day Adventist minister who is a resident of that place. The name of the alleged Adventist is McGammish. On the face of it such a story is preposterous; but we can assure any who might think otherwise, on the authority of the president of the Illinois Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, that there is no Seventh-day Adventist minister by that name in Illinois; nor is there any Adventist by that name in Carbondale, so far as we can learn. The story is what is called a canard.

L. O. Corwin Departs for Bay Islands School Work

Brother L. O. Corwin and wife leave New Orleans, La., this week, for Utilla, Bay Islands, to take charge of the school work heretofore conducted by Miss Winnifred Holmden. Their work will be self-supporting.

Battle Creek Sabbath-School Convention Held in Tabernacle

A Sabbath-school convention was held under the auspices of the Battle Creek Sabbath-school, in the Tabernacle, Friday and Sabbath, the 18th and 19th inst. The program began Friday evening, and was continued all day Sabbath. The sermon was delivered by W. W. Prescott, his subject being the “Possibility of Sabbath-school Work.” The Convention was full of interest from beginning to end, and the readers of the REVIEW may look for a full report of the same, in the near future, in these columns.

A Call for Workers.

By A. G. Daniells

I BELIEVE that it can be truthfully stated that never in the history of Seventh-day Adventists has there been such a call for earnest, consecrated workers as there is to-day. I do not refer to any formal or definite call emanating from some committee or board. The call of which I speak is from the people. It is from the masses needing and desiring help. This call comes from all parts of the world, and from all classes of humanity. Help is wanted in every department of gospel work.

Earnest, whole-souled preachers are in great demand to go to many parts of the earth and preach this gospel of the kingdom with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. Intelligent, zealous, Spirit-filled Bible workers are called for in many cities of many nations.

Christian physicians and nurses are wanted everywhere to treat the sick and suffering, and point them to right ways of living.

God-fearing, wise-hearted teachers are sorely needed in our church schools, and in many of our large schools as well.

The situation this very week calls for the greatest army of Christian canvassers this or any other denomination has ever had under marching orders.

A very pressing call of wide range is sounding for Christian business men and women to aid in carrying on the various lines of work necessary to give this gospel of the kingdom to the whole world in this generation.

As already stated, this call is not from an organized board. It comes from people in need of help. God has surely gone before us, preparing the way, and leading people in need of help to look to His people for help. Hence, this world-wide call for every kind of gospel workers.

At present this denomination can by no means supply the consecrated, disciplined workers for whom most earnest requests are repeatedly made. Not less than a thousand workers, composed of preachers, Bible workers, physicians, nurses, teachers, canvassers, and business men are wanted now, and could readily find their places were they fully prepared for them.

Now what is to be done? The way is plain. We must quit ourselves like men. We must fall into line at once, and co-operate with God as never before in the training and developing of workers.

There are many who would like to take up some line of work, and so help to answer this pressing call, but they are not prepared for it. Beyond all question, our schools and other institutions that might have done much to develop the right kind of workers, have sadly missed the mark. Otherwise there would not be the present terrible dearth. Brethren, we must get our bearings. The managers of our schools and other important institutions should take hold of this work in the fear of God, and earnestly press forward until complete victory crowns their efforts.

This earnest call for gospel workers to carry forward all the details of this work shows how much we need a missionary training-school. We must have a school specially set apart for this work. It must be provided with just the help needed for that work. It must be so conducted that those who attend will be able to make the most rapid, thorough preparation possible for their work.

We rejoice that Emmanuel Missionary College is being established for this great work, and that the school can open this fall, and so lose no time. We are glad so many are planning to attend the school this year. In view of the demands for laborers, and the desires of so many to respond, scores of others should enter the Emmanuel Missionary College this winter. This school must be made a training-school for missionaries. All that can be done with our present resources will be done to make it such. May the Lord teach us how to respond to His call to service in behalf of a perishing world.

A. G. DANIELLS.

Encouraging Progress in Matabeleland, South Africa

A LETTER just received at the Mission Board Office from the late Brother F. L. Mead, reports encouraging progress in Matabeleland, South Africa, and calls for more workers.

City Mission Evangelist.

The coming winter will furnish an excellent opportunity for several men to connect with our city mission work in Chicago, to assist in evangelistic work. For those who expect to devote their lives largely to mission work in our large cities such experience would be invaluable. Those engaging in this work should possess a genuine desire to bring souls to Christ, and should already have had some definite evidence that they are accepted by God for this work. No one should come without making previous arrangements by correspondence. Address David Paulson, 28 Thirty-third Place, Chicago, Ill.

Financial Report on Denominational Debts and Institutions

By S. H. Lane

Financial.

WE are glad to state to our friends throughout the great harvest field that the financial aspect of the denomination is not discouraging. Our institutions as a rule are gradually working out of debt; especially is this true with our publishing associations, schools, and our leading sanitariums. The sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” is helping the schools, and nearly all of them are on a self-supporting basis; so our debts are not increasing.

The General Conference Association, which carries the debt of the denomination, outside of our incorporate institutions, such as the publishing houses and sanitariums, and which is really the legal arm of the General Conference, is involved in debt; but its debt is not increasing, and it is not borrowing money to run into debt, but is standing in need of money at the present time to pay off some obligations which have been of long standing. Some of our brethren in the past have loaned money, some without interest, and others at a very low rate of interest, while those who have loaned and taken interest have as a rule accepted four per cent. Indeed, the association at the present time does not care to pay more than four per cent. It is now needing a few thousand dollars, and is willing to pay four per cent if our friends are not so circumstanced as to let the money at a less rate.

If any of our friends throughout the country have means that they can let us have without interest, or at a low rate of interest,—from two per cent to four per cent,—the association will be glad to receive it, and give its note for one, two, or three years. No one has ever lost by or through the association, and we feel assured that none ever will, for it is backed up not only by its own properties, but by the entire denomination. If any reader of these lines can loan the association some money without interest, or at a low rate of interest, we shall be glad to hear from him. Address the writer, Battle Creek, Mich. We trust that the Lord may put it into the hearts of those who have money to loan to let the association have it, for it will be a great help at the present time. S. H. LANE.
