The Summary

By A. J. S. B.

APPEARANCES are sometimes deceiving. While there is a heavy drop in this report, yet on the whole we find that this summer’s campaign, during May, June, July, and August, has resulted in the sale of 743,279 magazines, or 140,635 more than were sold during last summer’s campaign,—June, July, August, and September,—the total sales for these months being 502,644. Again, the sales for the last three months of this year’s campaign—June, July, and August—amounted to 568,393 copies, or only 34,251 less than the number sold during last year’s entire campaign of four months. All of which tends to show that our magazine agents are becoming more rapid and expert in their work as the months roll by. In other words, college scholarships are now being earned in a much shorter time than they were a year or two ago. In fact, it is quite common now for an energetic magazine agent to secure a year’s scholarship in from two to four weeks.
THROUGH an oversight on the part of the typesetters, the necessary corrections were not made in our July summary (Review of August 25, page 19), as requested by the manager of the Review and Herald periodical department. The correct figures, however, appear in the present summary. See Temperance Instructor column in months of March, April, May, June, and July. As requested before, please destroy all previous comparative summaries, using only the one accompanying this report.
THE after-vacation drop in magazine sales was not so heavy this year as last. For September, 1909, the sales were 72,103 less than the previous month. The August, 1910, sales are 69,626 less than last month, showing a drop of 2,477 less copies than at the corresponding period of last year.
THE student agents have evidently earned their scholarships in less time than last year; hence the heavy drop in magazine sales occurs one month sooner than last year. A break in the work of two of our best union conference missionary secretaries has also had its effect upon the sales.
DURING the past six months the entire edition of 210,000 copies of the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor has been sold. The publishers inform us that no orders for this magazine can be filled until the next new number appears. The next issue, we are sure, will eclipse all previous editions, excellent as they have been.
IN the present summary, we have reported, by conferences, only the sales made by our magazine agents. The mailing lists for all the States are condensed into one item at the close of the report. While this plan does not show the total number of copies of the magazines circulated in each conference through the mails, it does enable our conference leaders and magazine workers to ascertain exactly how many copies are being sold each month by the agents.
THE union conferences showing the largest number of magazines sold during the month of August are as follows: (1) Lake Union Conference, 23,399; (2) Atlantic Union Conference, 20,434; (3) Columbia Union Conference, 15,888; (4) Central Union Conference, 13,119; (5) Northern Union Conference, 10,150; (6) Pacific Union Conference, 8,176; (7) North Pacific Union Conference, 7,278; (8) Southeastern Union Conference, 5,473; (9) Southwestern Union Conference, 5,314; (10) Southern Union Conference, 5,301; (11) Western Canadian Union Conference, 3,669; (12) Canadian Union Conference, 1,221.

Fireside Correspondence School

By W. E. HOWELL

A New Idea

HERE comes a letter from one of our old students that is worth reading by both old and new. It is brimful of a new idea, generated by just an even year's experience in study by our correspondence method. We give it entire:—
“Concerning the new school year—shall old pupils register anew every year? I would like to be registered once for all, and become a ‘life member,’ I like the study so much. While I have not made rapid progress, I know that what I have gone through is mine, and no man can pluck it out of my mind. I think it would be nice if the old pupils could have a kind of ‘testimony meeting’ at the end of the school year.”
“I thank the Lord for the blessings received through the Correspondence School. I thank him for putting it into the mind of our brethren to start such a thing. It is just what I need, and has been a wonderful help to me. It has been a reward, a rest and refreshing, when the work seemed hard and the cares many; it has been a medicine against the blues, and a pleasant reminder not to become dull and negligent, but to keep the lamp of the mind trimmed and burning. May the Lord abundantly bless all connected with the Fireside Correspondence School!”
“Please send me the new calendar. Thanking you for all kindness and help given during the past year, and hoping for still greater blessings and better results in the year to come, I beg to remain a grateful student and life member of the Correspondence School.”
We had not dared propose so bold a venture as taking up a homestead claim for life; but since the suggestion comes unsolicited, from a full heart, we commend it to our other old students. It is a decidedly home affair, all the way round. You do not have to leave your present home, and go out to live on a lonely prairie for so many months, in order to insure yourself a future home; but in this case the homestead is transferred to you where you are. You simply sign the paper, and you can pay in instalments, almost at your convenience. Why not settle down to this matter of educational advance as an indispensable part of true living, and make it a work for life? The author of the foregoing letter is a hard-working missionary in one of our large cities; but he has the power of decision and execution in matters of self-improvement that some of the rest of us seem to lack. Why not “settle it in your hearts” that you will no longer be harassed with such questions as when to begin, how to carry on the study, how to raise your efficiency, etc., but will enlist in so good a cause for life?
If you will do this before October 3, it will be settled early, and you will come in under the old rates. Address the Fireside Correspondence School, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
W. E. HOWELL, Principal.

What One July “Liberty” Helped to Do

By A. J. S. B.

ONE of our home missionary workers reports the following interesting incident as the result of his individual work:—
“I am enclosing a check for eight subscriptions for Liberty. I also enclose check for ten subscriptions for which I am paying myself. I think all these will become subscribers. I loaned the July number to the wife of one prominent business man in this city for her to read to him. He was trying to have all his family join the Catholic Church. He had been brought up in that faith, as had his wife’s father. The priest was called to baptize their young daughter, but he refused to do so until he was paid twelve dollars, his charge for this service. The man promised to pay all as soon as he earned it; but the priest refused to baptize until the money was in hand. “This opened the eyes of these good people, and they never went to the Catholic Church again. The reading of the July Liberty to her husband opened his eyes also, and they decided to join the United Brethren Church, as it was the nearest to their home.
The very next Sunday after reading to these people, I showed them Father Enright’s thousand-dollar offer for a Bible proof of the sacredness of Sunday. They decided to hand it to their pastor the following Sunday.
“Last week I met one of the Protestant pastors to whom I had sent a copy of the Protestant Magazine during the past year. In answer to my question, he said he liked it very much, and had sent in to the publishers nine subscriptions besides his own. When I thanked him, he asked me my name, as we had never met before. He gave me a hearty handshake, and seemed glad to meet me.”
What this worker has done through a little judicious personal work can easily be done by hundreds, yes, thousands, of other Seventh-day Adventists in whose hearts burns the home missionary zeal.

To Teachers

“If the teacher is connected with God, if he has Christ abiding in his heart, the spirit that is cherished by him is felt by the children. When a teacher manifests impatience or fretfulness toward a child, the fault may not be with the child one half as much as with the teacher. Teachers become tired with their work, then something the children say or do does not accord with their feelings; but will they let Satan’s spirit enter into them, and lead them to create feelings in the children very unpleasant and disagreeable, through their own lack of tact and wisdom from God? There should not be a teacher employed, unless you have evidence by test and trial, that he loves, and fears to offend God. If teachers are taught of God, if their lessons are daily learned in the school of Christ, they will work in Christ’s lines. They will win and draw with Christ; for every child and youth is precious.”

A Harvest Number

The Harvest (October) number of the Signs of the Times Monthly is not a record of achievement nor a compilation of facts regarding the farm, as some might think; but in a number of articles it tells of the world's harvest of war, of greed, of crime, of health, and of disease. To offset, in a measure, the dark picture thus held before the reader, there are other articles, brighter, more cheerful, telling of the harvest of righteousness, etc.
If space permitted, we would quote some of the paragraphs found in this excellent number. Some are helpful; others are interesting and helpful; while others are startling, interesting, and helpful.

One may think he is well posted on present-day conditions in the social, political, religious, and industrial worlds, but the chances are he would find much in this number that is altogether new to him. Friends, the things dealt with in this October number of the Signs Monthly are significant. The world should be informed of their meaning.
Get a copy at once, and read it; then get a supply, ordering through your tract society, to sell or give to your neighbors. The appearance of the magazine makes it very acceptable to unbelievers, and they are almost sure to read it and be benefited.
More workers are wanted. Some of those now doing regular work are doing very well indeed. One sister has sold 35,617 copies since she started. Another sister sold 981 copies in 122 hours, and thereby earned, clear of all expenses, 48¼ cents an hour. Here, then, is a chance to do well-paying missionary work. Fifty or more copies will cost four cents a copy. SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Obituaries

Rice.—Died at Acushnet, Mass., Aug. 25, 1910, Louis W. Rice, aged five years and three months. Though our home seems very empty, we rejoice to know that, if we are faithful, we shall meet our darling in the resurrection. Comforting words were spoken at the funeral service by Brother L. S. Wheeler. Wm. W. Rice.
Cooper.—Lemuel C. Cooper, born in Marion County, Iowa, Feb. 19, 1856, died at Turlock, Cal., Aug. 3, 1910. Brother Cooper left a wife and five children to mourn. He was a member of the Turlock Seventh-day Adventist church, and his last days were filled with the experiences of an exceptionally bright hope. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, in the Turlock Methodist Episcopal church, the attendance of sympathizing friends and acquaintances being very large. The remains were interred in the Turlock city cemetery. C. L. Taylor.
Branch.—Henrietta Belle Hahn was born in Lemond, Minn., March 18, 1868, and died at Fayetteville, N. C., July 17, 1910. At the age of sixteen she was baptized, and joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which she was ever a consistent member. In October, 1909, she was married to Marion L. Branch, whom she leaves to mourn, also three brothers and three sisters, with many other relatives and friends. It was sad to part with our sister, but we believe that she rests in Jesus, and will come forth in the first resurrection to receive a crown of life. H. L. Hahn.
Metcalf.—Robinson C. Metcalf was born at Kanawha Station, W. Va., April 7, 1893. About one year ago he, with his parents, removed to Mount Vernon, Ohio, where he entered Mount Vernon College. Early last spring it became evident upon examination that he had not long to live. During the summer he was not generally confined to his bed, but it was apparent that he was growing weaker. He passed quietly away at six A. M., Sept. 5, 1910. When he was but twelve years of age, he was baptized, uniting with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Kanawha Station. A short funeral service was conducted at the home on the afternoon of September 5, and the remains were taken to the old home in West Virginia for burial. O. F. Butcher.
Merriam.—Sister Nellie Merriam was born in New York State, Sept. 10, 1860, and died at the home of her daughter at Glenwood, Minn., Aug. 28, 1910, in the fiftieth year of her age. At the age of thirty-three she was converted and united with the Methodist Church. Three years later she accepted the third angel’s message, and has been a faithful member of the church at Algona, Iowa, ever since. She came to Glenwood last January to live with her daughter, knowing that her time was short in this world. Her hope was bright, and she loved to talk of Jesus’ coming and of the new earth. She was laid to rest in the Villard cemetery. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer, from Ps. 116: 15 and 1 Corinthians 15. E. M. Chapman.
Pogue.—Sister Ella S. Pogue was born at Carrina, Wright Co., Minn., Nov. 16, 1867, and died at her home near Feeley, Minn., Aug. 24, 1910. On July 13, 1886, she was united in marriage to William M. Pogue. To this union were born six children. At the age of nine she was converted, and joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which she remained a loyal member until her death. She was always a faithful, devoted wife and mother, and ready to lend a helping hand to any one in need. Since Dec. 15, 1908, she has been a great sufferer, but her affliction was borne without murmuring. While it was her desire to live for the good of her family, she was fully resigned to her lot, and died peacefully. A sorrowing husband, five children, a mother, a brother, and a sister, with a large circle of relatives and friends, are left to mourn. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. A. V. Olson.

Chasu Publications and Foreign Mission Seminary

OUR Hamburg Publishing House has sent to the Missionary and Publishing Department of the General Conference a set of three most interesting books, constituting the full library of our publications in the Chasu language of German East Africa. They are, a primer of eighty-eight pages, nicely illustrated; a hymn-book with fifty-five gospel hymns, most of them translated from our own German hymn-book; and the complete Gospel of Matthew. This is the first portion of Scripture ever printed in that tongue. What a wonderful privilege our workers have had in being the ones to first cause the Holy Scriptures to speak in the language of the Vaasu tribes! We note that the preface to the primer has been written by Prof. Carl Meinhof, of the Imperial Colonial Institute of Germany, the chief German authority on East African languages.
The Foreign Mission Seminary opened last week with a goodly number of students, though many of those coming under provisional appointment to mission fields had not arrived on the opening morning. With the friends who had gathered in, the chapel was crowded, however, and all felt the blessing of the Lord in the services. Remarks were made by Brethren A. G. Daniells, W. W. Prescott, H. R. Salisbury, and others, as to the work the Seminary is to do in passing on laborers from conferences and other schools to answer calls from the fields. The opening day was signalized, just after the chapel service, by an action of the General Conference Committee inviting one of the advanced students present to respond to a call that had come to the Educational Department for a teacher in one of our training-schools. Thus on the morning of the opening, one strong worker was passed on to a place of need.
