“Cheapest, Best, and Most Useful”

By Editor

WHAT?

“The Youth’s Instructor is the cheapest, best, and most useful public-school teachers’ paper I can get,” is the postscript added to a subscription received last week from an Iowa teacher. Do you have this “cheapest, best, and most useful” paper in your home? It is just as good for the church school as for the public school; just as good for the isolated youth as for those who enjoy Sabbath-school privileges; in fact, we believe it to be the best youth’s paper published.
A glance at the table of contents for No. 26, issue of June 28, will give an idea of the subjects treated:—
THE HAWAIIANS—Native Dress (Illus.) ................................ Mrs. Lena E. Howe
MISSIONARY READING CIRCLE—Education in China; The Staff of Life in Syria and Palestine.
ELEMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY—The Artistic Side .................... J. Edgar Ross
NATURE’S GARDEN—Bishop’s Purse (Illus.) ........................ L. A. Reed
THE PRICE OF OUR REDEMPTION, ........................ Mrs. E. G. White
HOW HE LEARNED TO PRAY, ............................ Edison J. Driver
VACATION (Verse) ........ Elizabeth Rosser
TEDDY’S LESSON ............ Mrs. L. M. Droll
GERTIE, THE GRUMBLER.
NOTE AND COMMENT—How to Loosen a Glass Stopper; Gutta-Percha Trees in the Philippines; A Sane Idea for the Insane; One Fruit of Militarism; Some War Casualties; A Girl’s Sensible Reply; An Editor’s Perplexity; Lighting Trains with Electricity.
SABBATH-SCHOOL LESSON—Our Sins Purchased.
VALUE OF THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE.
SOME RULES FOR GIRLS WHO LONG TO BE POPULAR.
Other short articles and sketches, with a choice variety of verse, make up a table of contents that can not fail to please all. A letter from an old subscriber and contributor, written under date of June 1, 1900, shows how she regards the Instructor. Among other things she says:—
“Considering its size, the amount of excellent matter the Instructor contains is surprising. It is becoming more and more an ‘Instructor’; and judging from my own observation, I should say that the old take as much interest in it as the young.”
A number of good books are offered as premiums with the Instructor, both for new subscriptions and for renewals. A copy giving a list of these will be sent on request.
The Instructor is an illustrated eight-page weekly. Single subscriptions, 75 cents; discounts to clubs. Address all orders to the—

Teachers’ Conference and Sanitary Bulletin

By Editor

JUNE 20 to July 11 is the time announced for the Teachers' Conference, which, of course, is now in session. Teachers who have been in church school work during the year, together with young persons who are called to teach, make a class of consecrated students. Ministers and workers from the district are in attendance. It is not too late for others to come. Elder Kauble; Professor Tenney, of Woodland Academy; Dr. Kellogg, and others, appeared on the program the first three days of the Conference.
THE Michigan State Board of Health has issued a most valuable bulletin — the “Teachers' Sanitary Bulletin” for April. The board desires the name and address of every teacher in Michigan, that all may be supplied with this and other documents. Will our readers in Michigan please do what they can to help the board of health to reach all teachers in the State?

Regarding Unordered Review Copies

By Editor

If you receive copies of this paper without ordering them, please remember that they are sent to you by some friend. Persons thus receiving copies of the REVIEW will not be called upon to pay for them. If, after reading these copies, you do not care to keep them, please hand them to your friends to read.

Japan’s New Navy Maneuvers

A SHORT time ago Japan executed maneuvers with her new navy of fifty war-vessels. All was done so successfully that not the least mishap occurred.

Marshaling of the Nations

The first edition of the “Marshaling of the Nations” has been exhausted; and also a good portion of a second edition, even before it could be got off the press.

Orders for the Open Letter

ORDERS by the hundreds, by the thousand, and by the thousands, are being received daily for that “Open Letter to the Ministers.” This is good. Keep it agoing.

Germany’s Naval Expansion

The German Parliament passed the Navy bill so much desired by the emperor. It provides for the building of fifty-seven battleships, and fifteen large, and thirty-six small, cruisers, at an expenditure of four hundred and twenty-five million dollars.

China’s Failure to Protect Envoys

A LEADING Berlin daily, referring to China, says:—
A power which is unable in time of peace to protect envoys accredited to it from its own subjects has ceased to exist as a state. We do not doubt that all the cabinets are inspired by a determination to save what can be saved.

Death of Count Mouravieff

The Russian minister of foreign affairs, Count Michael Mouravieff, died suddenly of apoplexy, Thursday morning, June 21. This is expected to introduce a new element of anxiety among the powers in the already deeply complicated affairs of the world.

Russia’s Predestined Dominance in Asia

RUSSIA has issued rules for the guidance of Russian newspapers in dealing with the far Eastern situation, one of which is the following:—
Editorial writers should recollect that Russia is predestined to predominate in Asia.
This seems to be as much of a notice to the world as it is to Russian editors.

Sunday Desecration and the Sabbath Commandment

AS USUAL, the Presbyterian General Assembly of this year bemoaned “the increasing desecration” of the Sunday. Remarking upon it, the New York Sun well says: “Theologians of the church itself have been treating the decalogue as a merely human document, containing laws applicable only to a pastoral tribe not yet far advanced from barbarism. The divine authority of the Sabbath commandment is denied, and consequently the universal religious obligation to obey it. Sunday, too, is not historically the Sabbath to which the commandment applies.”

THE WORLD-PROBLEM.

In response to an ultimatum to evacuate their defenses before 2 P. M., Sunday, June 17, the China crisis culminated early Sunday morning, in the firing of the Taku forts, on the war-ships of the powers, without discrimination. The reply was in kind from the Russian, British, German, and French ships. In an engagement of seven hours, two of the forts were blown up, four hundred Chinese were killed, the Chinese guns were silenced, and the forts were occupied by marines from the war-ships. On the part of the powers there were killed,—British, 1; German, 3; Russian, 1; French, 1. Wounded,—British, 4; German, 7; Russian, 45; French, 1. It seems that no United States ship was in the engagement, though United States marines were ashore, and acting in concert with those of the other powers. Now all these powers are hurrying troops and war-ships to the scene of action. The United States ordered a regiment at once from Manila. Thursday, the 21st, Tien-tsin was bombarded.
This making war upon all the powers alike has forestalled, for the time being, any division of the powers: all are acting together for the restoration of order. Accordingly, the 21st, the following proclamation was agreed to, to be issued forthwith:—
The admirals and senior naval officers of the allied powers in China desire to make known to all viceroys and authorities along the coasts and rivers and in the cities and provinces of China that they intend to use armed force only against the Boxers and people that oppose them on their march to Peking for the rescue of their fellow countrymen.
What is most likely to be done by the powers, when order shall be restored, is shown in the following statement to the French Parliament by the minister of foreign affairs, June 21:—
France, united with Russia, will be able to work in concert with the other powers to restore order, and secure the institution of a government capable of guaranteeing all foreigners that safety which the Chinese enjoy in France.
This plan carried out will put China and the powers in precisely the same position that Turkey and the powers have occupied since Aug. 11, 1840. Thus the original Eastern question and world-problem now merges in the far Eastern question and the greater world-problem.
LATEST.—There was fighting at Tien-tsin, Saturday, in which American marines and Russian troops were engaged against the Chinese, and more troops later. Twelve days ago Admiral Seymour, of the British navy, with twenty-three hundred marines of “the allied powers,” left Tien-tsin for Peking,—sixty miles,—to secure the legations there; and he has not been heard from since. It is feared that all have perished. Li Hung Chang has requested the powers to send no more forces.

Russian Warning on Intervention in China

The following statement by the Russian ambassador at London, sounds almost like an ultimatum to the other powers:—
The intervention of the powers in China must, under no conditions, mean a settlement by war of old scores with the Chinese government, and it must not embrace governmental reorganization. Especially it must not include a change in the head of the government. Even if the Chinese and the international armies come into collision, these considerations must never be lost sight of.

Massacre of Native Christians in China

JUNE 9 Methodist missionaries in China sent to their missionary society, New York City, the following telegram:—
Massacre native Christians. Situation foreigners critical. Press Washington.
Immediately the secretary of the society pressed Washington by repeating the dispatch to President McKinley, with the added words:
This means that our people are in peril, and that they greatly need such protection as our government can afford.

Marshaling of the Nations

THE “Marshaling of the Nations” is present truth, on the present crisis in China; and this world-problem, which is just now holding the attention of the world, is a distinct and loud call for the present truth on that subject. Shall not that call be answered? Shall not the people everywhere be given an opportunity to obtain this information? Price, ten cents. Address the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., or the Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.
