Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing

BY MRS. E. G. WHITE
A beautiful version of our Saviour’s sermon delivered from the mountain side to a multitude hungry for the gems of truth as they fell from the Master’s lips. Though fresh beauty may be found in each reading of the Bible story, yet this volume, written in a pure, simple style, reveals to the searcher for truth and new expressions of God’s mercy, gems radiant with light from heaven.
218 pages; 27 original half-tone illustrations. Price, 75 cents.

Archbishop Nozaleda on Friars and Philippine Property

ARCHBISHOP NOZALEDA, the head of the papal hierarchy in the Philippines, is quoted in Catholic papers as having said, in a recent interview, that “any insistence of the American government for spoliation of the religious orders [in the Philippines] would be quite useless, and besides other reasons on this account, that the goods of the corporations are already alienated. They are no longer in the hands of the religious, because they have been sold to companies, to financial syndicates.” As to the pope’s decision regarding the Philippine friars, he said that Leo would “certainly not despoil the religious orders of their means of support.”

W. C. Sisley Departs for Work in England

Sunday evening, July 7, Brother W. C. Sisley, who has for several years been known to the readers of the REVIEW as the manager of the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association, took his departure for London, England, to connect with the work there, according to the action of the late General Conference. He was accompanied by his wife and eldest daughter. The two remaining daughters continue in this country for a time, teaching in the South Lancaster (Mass.) Academy. While his presence and efforts here will be greatly missed, we trust his labors in England will be a blessing to the cause in his native land.

Der Deutsche Arbeiter: A New German-Language Paper

Der Deutsche Arbeiter is the title of an eight-page publication, just begun in the German language, and issued from this Office. It will occupy the same place in the German field, filled by so many similar sheets among the English. It is tastefully gotten up, and skillfully arranged as to matter, and contains a wonderful amount of appropriate reading for so small a sheet. The price is only twenty-five cents a year. Let it have a wide and rapid circulation. Address this Office.

Coupon Appeal for Southern Publishing House Construction

By Editor

DON’T overlook the coupon printed on this page, for use in making a donation toward the erection of the much needed publishing house for the Southern field. See illustration in Progress department. The brethren there are proceeding on the commendable plan of “pay as you go.” We believe this is a good one to be followed in the work of the Lord. We cannot see that placing the Lord in debt is ever necessary to the prosperity of His cause.

An interesting report of the Ontario camp-meeting is omitted from this issue, for lack of space.

Missionary Magazine August Number Announced

By Editor

The August number of the Missionary Magazine will be ready for the mail in about ten days. No Seventh-day Adventist family should be without this journal. Subscriptions may soon be received to begin with the July issue.

New Boxer Movement Reported Under Prince Tuan

A NEW BOXER movement is being started, according to Chinese intelligence from Sian-Foo. Prince Tuan is at the head of the new movement, with headquarters on the borders of Mongolia. He has the tacit approval of the Empress Dowager.

Progress of the Gospel of the Kingdom

By Editor

“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matt. 24:14. The progress of this “gospel of the kingdom” in the earth is the most striking and important of all the signs of the times. Are you keeping watch of this sign? Do you take the REVIEW and read the “Progress of the Cause,” so that you are in a position to note how this sign is being fulfilled? We shall spare no pains to give in this department a complete report of the progress of the Third Angel’s Message.
There are to be some who say, “My Lord delayeth His coming.” Has the delay in the fulfillment of the prophecy caused your faith to weaken? We are all in great danger on this point. “Because Christ’s coming has been long foretold, they conclude that there is some mistake in regard to it. But . . . it will not tarry past the time that the message is borne to all nations, tongues, and peoples.”—Review, first page, June 18, 1901.
The world will not herald to you the progress of this last message. You must get this knowledge from the organ of the people who are doing this work. Do not, we say again, lose sight of the “progress of the cause.” Do not lose track of this most important of all signs of the times.

Struck by Lightning: No Messages from the Dead

Mr. Elmer L. Carpenter, of Sharon, Mass., who was struck by lightning and literally “electrocuted” at his home on July 2, telling his experience in the Chicago American, says: “I was as dead as I ever expect to be, for half an hour; but I have no message to bring back from the spirit land. All I saw or felt was before I lost my senses and after I came to.”
Mr. Carpenter was revived only by medical stimulants pumped into him, which set his heart in motion after it had stopped beating. During the time his heart was motionless, which was half an hour, he knew exactly as much as any dead person knows; and, as he says, he knew nothing. These “messages from the spirit land” are frauds. “The dead know not anything.” Eccl. 9:5.

Drunkenness in India and the Need for the Gospel

The Rev. J. P. Jones, of India, speaking at the Cincinnati Christian Endeavor Convention, on the prevalence of drunkenness in India, said that before the coming of the Anglo-Saxon, India was a sober country, and that “if England should evacuate India to-day, the greatest evidence of her occupancy would be the number of empty whisky bottles.” This only shows that the heathen need a work done for them not by a “Christian nation,” but by Christianity; not by “civilization,” but by the gospel.

Methodist Pastor Organizes Boys' Brigade for Military Drill

As a sign of the times, we note this item in the Kansas City World, which prints it under the heading, “Will Learn How to Kill:” —
“Rev. H. A. King, pastor of the Oakley Methodist Episcopal church, has organized thirty youth of his congregation into a ‘boys’ brigade.’ The youngsters are to be provided with guns and other weapons of civilization, and taught how to shoot their fellow men. J. L. Housekeeper, an ex-sergeant in a company of the Fifth Missouri Regiment, will be drill master. The child-soldiers will go into camp later on. Rev. Mr. King has appointed himself commander-in-chief.”
The distinction between Christian warfare and carnal warfare seems to be fast fading out of the orthodox conception. The “Church militant” is training its forces to win the victory not by the blood of Christ, but by the blood of their enemies; not by conquering themselves, but by conquering the forces of the world with sword and gun. But, says the apostle, “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4.

The Passing Glory of Modern Warfare

WAR is losing its glory; it presents few opportunities to-day, for personal exploits. Battles are no longer won by a brilliant bayonet or cavalry charge. The sword never gets near enough to the enemy to do any damage. This is the result of the substitution of modern long-range rapid-firing guns for those used up to very recent times.
Lord Roberts, says a London dispatch, has abolished sword, lance, and bayonet exercises in the British army; and a board of expert cavalry officers “has pronounced the sword to be practically useless in warfare, although a sword of different pattern will remain a part of the cavalryman’s equipment.”
But war is still “hell,” as it used to be.

Summer School Opportunity at Berrien Springs

Notice!

THERE is one more opportunity for students to enter the summer school at Berrien Springs. The educational conference is now in session. Class-work of the summer school will begin July 20. Remember this is the only opportunity of the season for students to receive training for church schools. If you have ability to teach, this school is for you. Full particulars concerning the way to reach Berrien Springs appeared in the REVIEW of July 2. Write at once for accommodations. Address E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich.

Conversion of the Jews.

MUCH light and many exhortations have been given us respecting labor for the Jews. We are instructed that a great work must yet be done for that people. Something has already been done (no thanks, however, to our efforts), enough to give encouragement to labor, and a hope of success. Statistics show that during the nineteenth century, 204,540 Jews were baptized, 72,240 being into evangelical churches, and 131,800 into the twice dead and plucked-up formalism of the Greek and Roman Catholic organizations. But if so many can be moved out of the rut of Judaism by these travesties of religion, what might not be accomplished by the truth as it is in Jesus, presented in the Holy Spirit sent down with power?
