Labor Reports and Meetings in Brief

We have received, just too late for insertion in this number, reports of labor from A. D. Olsen and C. W. Olds, Wisconsin, G. K. Owen, Tennessee, J. Wilbur, New York, and G. W. Colcord, Illinois.

Several of the College students, who have had some experience in holding meetings, went out last Sabbath and Sunday to churches in the vicinity of Battle Creek, to assist them in the exercises of this the first quarterly meeting of the year. If surrounding churches appreciate such help, they may perhaps secure more of it in the future.

The next annual meeting of the National Reform Association, which is laboring to secure, among other things, a law for the enforcement of the first day of the week as the Sabbath, will be held in Pittsburgh, Pa., the 7th and 8th of February next. It is expected to be a meeting of no less interest and importance than other national conventions.

It is not often that we find matter in our exchanges which we think will be of sufficient interest to our readers to warrant re-publication in our columns. But in the N. Y. Independent, of Dec. 27, 1877, we find two editorial articles, “Counting Noses” and “The Year in Europe,” which we are happy to present in the Review this week, in full. And here we take occasion to say that for variety of departments, range of subjects, able contributors, and skillful management in all respects, the Independent stands at the head of its class.

A fearful catastrophe took place last week at Negammee, in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Over 4,000 pounds of nitro-glycerine were being loaded on the cars, when the compound exploded with most terrific force. The car was blown to powder, the engine, lifted up and reduced to a mass of splintered iron, was landed some fifty feet away, and everything within a radius of 800 feet was reduced to fragments. Of the seven men employed in the work nothing could be found but small pieces of flesh and bones. It was the most terrible explosion that ever occurred on the mineral range.

The Independent of Jan. 3, 1878, in an article on “The New Year” says:—

“But a new and even more serious duty for the year, the chief one in our politics and political economy, oppresses us. What means this weakening of public honor? Are we to have a filthy flood-tide of repudiation and scaling down of State and municipal indebtedness?”

Alluding to the same subject in another article, it adds:—

“Repudiation of debt obligations, none the less real because sought to be disguised, is at this moment one of the alarming signs of the times.”

SHORTER AND OFTENER.

This is what we want to whisper into the ears of all who are out holding meetings, in reference to their reports. Don’t wait till you have to go back a month or two, and notice a list of places which you have visited, half a yard long; but let us have it in short items week by week. Whenever you visit a place or hold a meeting, in which anything is actually done, a few lines will record it, a few minutes only will be required to write it, a postal card or a three-cent stamp will bring it to us, it will be bright and fresh for the paper, and all will read it with interest. Will you do it?

Opening of the New Term.

THE winter term of the College opened very encouragingly, Jan. 2. There were 225 students in attendance, an increase of 45 over the largest number present at the opening of any previous term. The present term bids fair to realize all that has been anticipated for it both as to numbers and interest.

Hasn't Heard of Us Yet.

By Editor

The N. Y. Independent had occasion to speak of “a Seventh-day Adventist,” and the Congregationalist, of Boston, called it to account for speaking of such a denomination, saying of itself that “it never heard of them,” although it knows “Second Adventists,” and “Seventh-day Baptists.” We are hardly willing to hold S. D. Adventists responsible for this want of information on the part of the Congregationalist; for we have endeavored to make use of every laudable means to make ourselves known. We have been prominently before the people of Eastern Massachusetts for the past two years, especially in the camp meetings at Groveland, attended by fifteen and twenty thousand people, and faithfully reported in the leading papers of the State, especially the papers of Boston. Yet the Congregationalist has not yet heard of a Seventh-day Adventist. Was it napping during dog days?

The Danvers Meeting.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

FROM Friday to Monday, Jan. 18-21, is the time set for our State quarterly meeting at Danvers, Mass., in connection with the dedication of our new house. We are all pleased with our house. The work has been done in the best manner, and everything about the house is neat and pleasant. The Sabbath-keepers here are getting along well. We have excellent meetings. We now begin another course of lectures in our new house, to last three weeks. We hope to see good done.

We are very anxious to have a large turnout of our people at this meeting. Let all come who can. Danvers is eighteen miles north of Boston, on the Boston and Maine R. R., and also on the Eastern R. R. There are several trains each way, on both roads, daily. Let all who come go directly to our meeting-house. It is but a few rods from the Boston and Maine depot. A committee will there wait on them.

Let our friends bring bed clothing, as far as they can conveniently, so as to make beds on the floor if necessary. But let none stay away fearing they will burden us. The friends here are able to take care of all who may come. If any come with teams, they will find good places among our brethren living three miles out of town, on good roads.

To the T. and M. directors we say, Be sure to have a good report at this meeting. Don't fail this time, any way. If possibly you cannot come, be sure to send your report the Monday before. D. M. CANRIGHT.

West Newbury, Mass.

By C. W. Stone

We have now given thirty-five lectures. Eld. Canright has visited us four times, and given six discourses. The attendance has been good, but the people are hard to move. They acknowledge the truth, and there they stand. We have had two Sabbath meetings. Five have taken their stand to keep the commandments. We still continue our meetings, in hope of seeing others act up to the light they acknowledge they have received.

The last of this week I go to Danvers, to assist Bro. Canright through the dedication, and the meetings he is to hold there. Bro. Robinson will carry on the work here.

Dedication of the Clyde Church

By H. A. St. John

Dedication.

THE church at Clyde propose to have their new house completed, and ready for dedication, at the time of the State quarterly meeting. This will add to the interest of the occasion. We appeal for the help of Eld. S. N. Haskell, or some other efficient minister, at this meeting. The scattered membership of the church are cordially invited. It would be well to come so as to partly care for yourselves.

H. A. St. John.

Price Reduced.

By H. A. St. John

THE First and Second Advent charts, heretofore advertised at twenty-five cents each, or fifty cents per set, will henceforward be furnished at fifteen cents each, or twenty-five cents per set. Those who have paid the former price will be entitled to another set, provided they pay postage on the same.

Vienna Dispatch on Russia's Separate Treaty Rights

A SPECIAL from Vienna says that the powers, in admitting Russia’s right to treat separately with Turkey, have taken a long step toward surrendering the whole of the treaty of Paris and giving over the settlement of the Eastern Question entirely to Russia.
