WYOMING

By O. S. Ferren

SINCE the Week of Prayer I have held two series of meetings. At the first place, on Wolf Creek, northern Wyoming, but little interest was manifested. Closing the meetings, I went to a place near the Big Horn mountains among the foothills, where I found a small log schoolhouse. After corking the holes, and placing gunny sacks at the broken window panes, the meetings began, the people coming from two to six miles over the hills. Almost every one in the neighborhood, from the youth of twelve, to the man of seventy winters, attended. After the first night they began to ask for longer sermons. Under the circumstances, it was thought that a short series would be better than to take any chances on the weather at this season of the year.

Every feature of the Third Angel’s Message was presented in three weeks. Flesh, tea, coffee, and spices disappeared from the tables, healthful foods taking their places. Whisky and tobacco were discarded, and gambling and dancing were discontinued. At the close of the meetings nine persons were baptized. Six others are keeping the Sabbath. These accepted all points of present truth, but do not feel clear to go forward in baptism. A leader was elected, and a Sabbath-school of twenty members was organized. Steps were taken for the erection of a building for church and school purposes, work on which will soon begin.

The interest here was created by one of our faithful canvassers, Brother E. L. Cook, who was with me during these meetings, and rendered excellent service in visiting, and otherwise.

An Experience

By Wm. A. Westworth

INASMUCH as I have received many inquiries with newspaper clippings, asking me for particulars in regard to our recent experience at Berea, W. Va., I will take this opportunity to answer all.

Although the reports in various papers from New York to Chicago were in some instances exaggerated, yet the serious condition of affairs brings us to a realizing sense that “the dragon is wroth with the woman.”

Briefly, the events which have led up to the journalistic reports are as follows: Having been challenged to discuss the subjects of conversion and the nature of man, by the Seventh-day Baptists, represented by A. McLearn, D. D., and libelous and false statements having been circulated against the truth and our people, and especially against the Spirit of Prophecy, I accepted the challenge.

Truth prevailed, the enemy suffered a stinging defeat, which was witnessed by the slander heaped upon the servant of God by the opposition. Sunday evening, March 17, the discussion ended, and Tuesday evening, the 19th, as we were going home after a good service, we were attacked, and several were struck with eggs. A sympathizer, but not a member of our church, ran to see who did the deed, and was followed by one of our brethren. They soon overtook the assaulting party, and they in turn were followed by two more of our sympathizers. The attacking party were plainly told that they would not be attacked, as we did not want to fight, but finding themselves liable to be discovered, they drew knives and pistols; and while no one was shot, four were cut—three of them badly. Our friends used no weapons, the assault being entirely on the other side.

The county authorities have taken the matter up, and the three leaders are now under heavy bail to await the action of the grand jury on the charge of felonious assault. While the affair was deplorable, it nevertheless has turned public sentiment in favor of Seventh-day Adventists, and many who are opposed to the doctrine are firmly for us as regards our rights, and are outspoken in our behalf. Our church at Berea is more closely united. Thus the enemy of souls is thwarted in his evil designs. The injured ones are recovering, and we praise God that His care has been over us, and rejoice that we are accounted worthy to suffer for Christ.

That Temporal Power

Under the title of “That Temporal Power,” the Northwestern Christian Advocate gives utterance to the following significant words regarding the restoration of temporal power to the pope: “With unceasing vigilance the eye of the pope has been looking for the auspicious hour when national and international complications would be such as to indicate the approach of the time when it would be safe and politic to begin the agitation, and, after these years of waiting, the first step has been taken looking to the putting forth of a demand on this behalf in more positive terms than have as yet been employed. It was not an accident that the first note of the proposed agitation should seem to come from an American, and from one supposed to be in sympathy with the national administration. Archbishop Ireland is not a novice in diplomacy, nor have his efforts to catch the popular breezes in this country been without a purpose, any more than have his journeys through European countries and his lingerings about the Vatican been incidents of personal pleasure. His North American Review article on the restoration of temporal power to the pope, so soon after his return from abroad, shows unmistakably the bent of his mind and the topic of his consultations while hobnobbing with the pope and cardinals in Rome, with princes, rulers, and diplomats in Europe, and indicates the burden of his soul. It is that for which he thinks and works with untiring energy, knowing that he echoes the united sentiment of the hierarchy, and believing that other exciting interests will absorb the attention of Protestant peoples so as to permit this agitation to become formidable without arousing any very serious opposition. . . . He only asks for a little bit of temporal power—just enough to give him independence of the national government and to make him a little potentate! He does not ask the restoration of sovereignty over the Papal States—not yet! Archbishop Ireland has read the story of the ‘Camel’s Nose.’ He desires to have the principle established; then claims and pretexts for expansion can be made and multiplied at will.” Neither politicians nor astute diplomats can hope to cope with the papacy: it takes primitive Christianity to do that.

Secret Treaty Between China and Japan

DISPATCHES from Paris state that there is “good authority” for the statement that “a secret treaty has been concluded between China and Japan, with regard to Manchuria.”

Cuban Convention Resists U.S. Legislation

The Cuban Constitutional Convention is unwilling to accept the legislation of the United States Congress regarding Cuba; but it also realizes the hopelessness of Cuban resistance.

China’s Financial Resources

AMONG the latest dispatches from Peking is the following: “The committee of ministers which is considering China’s financial resources has reached the conclusion, based upon what information is thus far obtainable, that $300,000,000 in gold can be raised without injuring China’s resources. The examination by the committee into the subject is thus far incomplete, and it will probably subsequently learn that other Chinese resources for indemnities are available.” The Powers may be depended upon to take all the means that China will be able to spare, and much more besides.

The Sabbath Increasingly Disregarded

The Christian Advocate says that “in spite of all that has been done, the Sabbath [Sunday] is less and less regarded. . . . If things go on at the same rate they have done, in less than ten years the American sabbath will hardly be recognizable in the cities; but the Chicago and San Francisco type will become the universal type. For with all the cities giving up the Sabbath practically as a holy day and consenting to its being turned into a holiday, the rural districts will not long retain much respect for it.” Why not all “lay hold on” God’s holy day, and thus be joined to a winning, instead of an ever-losing, cause?

Italy and the Triple Alliance

The treaties which created the famous “triple alliance” between Germany, Austria, and Italy expire in 1903. In 1870 France reckoned upon the assistance of Italy, but was disappointed. This led to an estrangement between the two countries. Also the French occupation of Tunis twenty years ago was interpreted by Italy as a hostile move. However, time having effaced some of these animosities, the two nations are trying to get together once more, as seen by the recent reception of the Italian fleet at Toulon. By keeping on intimate terms with France, which, by her military aid under Louis Napoleon, about forty years ago, helped to liberate her, Italy will feel free to demand a revision of the terms of the triple alliance in case she decides to renew her part of the same in 1903.

The Bible Society’s Vast Distribution

DURING the nineteenth century the British and Foreign Bible Society distributed 165,000,000 copies of the Scriptures. The weight of these books is estimated to be 30,700 tons; and “to transport this mountain of Bibles a train sixteen miles long, drawn by 150 locomotives, would be necessary. The area of the printed pages would furnish standing room for twice as many persons as are now living throughout the world. If all these Bibles were made into a single volume, the book would be 202 feet high, 140 feet wide, and 41 feet thick; each page would weigh 60 tons, and to turn one of them would take the strength of 1,200 men or 40 horses.”

Public Funds for Private Schools

THE charter of the city of New York, as recently amended, has been passed by the State legislature, and is now in the hands of the mayor of the city. The Independent calls attention to the fact that “one provision, not generally known, and not discussed, introduced by an amendment by somebody at Albany, at somebody’s suggestion,—we don’t know whose,—is that the city shall be allowed to appropriate money for the support of private as well as public schools. This may be unconstitutional, or it may not be; but it is a reversal of our accepted policy. . . . What is evidently intended is to provide that denominational and parochial schools may be supported by public funds. That would be a re-establishment of the system of union of Church and State. It is just as logical to support the churches with State money, as the schools. We do not believe, despite the frequent declaration of ecclesiastics that parochial schools must be supported by the public funds, that our people will ever consent to it.”

OBITUARY

By I. D. Van Horn

LAY.—Died in Allegan, Mich., March 13, 1901, of anæmia, George T. Lay, aged 78 years, 4 months, 23 days. He was born in Lockport, N. Y. At the age of twenty-one he came to Allegan, Mich., where he spent the rest of his life. About 1858 he accepted the faith of the Seventh-day Adventists, and joined the church at Monterey at the time of its organization. From this time he maintained a firm belief in the Scriptures and in the truth for our time. The last year and a half of his life, with failing health, he spent much time reading his Bible and books on present truth, especially “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation.” A few days before his death he had a bright experience, in which he gave assurance of peace with God. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn their loss. The funeral was held at his late home in Allegan, and a brief service at the meeting-house in Monterey, following which the burial service took place in the South Monterey Cemetery.
