Science Proved a False Hope

A FEW days previous to the great volcanic outburst which so suddenly destroyed the city of St. Pierre, on the island of Martinique, a scientific commission was appointed in St. Pierre to investigate conditions pertaining to the volcano, and quiet the apprehensions occasioned by its renewed activity. The commission made its investigation, and reported that the eruption was a “normal” one, and that no danger need be apprehended by those in the city. This report was made public on May 7, and the very next morning the whole city was engulfed by the fiery forces from the crater in a moment of time. Science—so called—had proved an exceedingly false hope. Do not make the mistake of trusting too much in “science.” “Science” demonstrated, in Noah’s day, that such a thing as a flood was impossible; but the flood came. “Science” demonstrates to-day that the world could not have been made in six days, that man came by evolution, and that no destruction of the earth by fire can ever be. Beware of the report it brings, for the Word of God speaks differently. As regards events to come, faith reveals to us immeasurably more than we can learn from science.

Why Not?

By I. H. Evans

WHEN the call came one year ago for a large donation to relieve the Christiania Publishing House, who expected that our people would so nobly respond? A donation of twenty-two thousand dollars was the emphatic answer that every obligation contracted by this denomination is payable in gold. We fancy that never in the history of missions nor in any commercial enterprise was there a more hearty response to an appeal for help under similar conditions.
Our Christiania creditors have increased faith in our denominational integrity, and unbounded confidence that what we pledge will be done. Their attorney said that it was an unheard-of thing for a denomination to do what we have undertaken; namely, to pay a sixty-five-thousand-dollar debt which we never contracted, and which the law could not collect.
Only three more payments remain, and all is over. Ten thousand dollars more than last year’s donation would clear the ledger. If last year we gave twenty-two thousand dollars, is it not an easy task to raise thirty-two thousand dollars this season?
Prosperity never smiled over this fair land as now. From shore to shore plenty reigns supreme. Every wheel of commerce is running to its limit, and labor commands a ready market. These are the harvest days for paying debts. He who does not save now and reduce his obligations is losing his opportunity. So with our denomination. Let every energy of our combined forces bend unitedly in wiping out our debts.
Is it an impossible thing for us to raise thirty-two thousand dollars for our July donation? That only means about fifty cents per capita. But few are so poor that they cannot give that, while many can give much more. Why take up two or three more donations when one can meet it all?
To give to God does not impoverish. In giving to him we give to the One who controls the universe. The sunshine, the rain, the life of all things are in his keeping. Truly we can say: “Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. O Lord our God, all this store . . . cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness.”
Shall not the Israel of God to-day bring a liberal offering on this coming occasion? Why not all of us take hold as one man, and let the donation on Sabbath, July 5, be the last we have to make for Christiania? To this end let us all labor and pray. I. H. EVANS.

Elder Daniells Reports Safe Arrival in London

A LETTER from Elder A. G. Daniells brings the news of a favorable voyage and the safe arrival of the party for London.

Correction to Word Error in Previous Issue

Explanation of Substitute Review Issues

By Editor

THERE was an unusual demand for last week's issue of the REVIEW, and we regret to say that we shall not be able to supply any more sample copies of that number. Those who may receive copies of other numbers in its place will kindly remember this note of explanation.

Steps Advancing the Closing Gospel Work

It is encouraging to note the steps which are being taken in the different parts of the world for the more rapid advancement of the closing gospel work. One of these movements is mentioned on page sixteen, under the title, “A Plea for Mexico.” You will be interested in reading it.

Mailing Copies of the Review to Friends

Those who may desire to send copies of this week's REVIEW to their friends may have them mailed from this Office at the following rates, postage paid: single copies, four cents each; three copies, ten cents; five copies or more, three cents per copy. Send addresses and money (postage stamps may be used) to this Office.

Death of Dr. Atteberry and Sister Hutchins

IN the REVIEW of May 13 appeared the notice of the death of Sister Hutchins, who had for many years been a faithful co-laborer with her husband, Elder A. S. Hutchins, extensively and favorably known to the readers of the REVIEW as an earnest preacher of this message; and now comes from Brother Chas. Thompson, from Willow Hill, Ill., a notice of the death of Dr. Atteberry, whose obituary will be found in another column of this paper. From the notice it appears that Brother Atteberry has long occupied a prominent place in the minds and hearts of his brethren, as one who was a friend of, and had an interest in, this cause. He had been a reader of the REVIEW for thirty-five years. Thus the circle of the older readers of the REVIEW is continually narrowing down by death. But every one who finishes his course with joy, is an added triumph of the cross.

Universal Strike Halts Sweden Over Suffrage

ONE of the most remarkable occurrences in this day of remarkable events, is a universal strike which is reported from Sweden in press dispatches of May 15. All the workmen in the country, it is stated, were ordered to strike for universal suffrage, and it appears that all did so, in every city and town. The result is that all work has stopped; there is no traffic or business of any kind, and the newspapers are not being printed. An uprising is feared, and the troops are being held in readiness. This state of things is expected to continue throughout the parliamentary debate on the universal suffrage question. The water supply, telephones, telegraphs, and railways had not been disturbed at the date above mentioned, but the gas supply, it was announced, would cease on the following day, and there was bread sufficient for only three days. No shipping was moving in Stockholm. This national strike, the report says, was not intended to last longer than a few days, but was meant to show the government what might be expected in case the national demand for suffrage should be refused.

Summer Assembly

CHURCHES which have not yet secured a teacher for the children, should not delay to arrange for the opening of a school next September. Justice demands that the children of the church have thoroughly competent teachers, and that the school term be of reasonable length.
The summer school held at Berrien Springs, Mich., June 12 to August 20, will train teachers. The work is under the auspices of the Educational Department of the General Conference, and all parts of the field will receive equal attention. Persons having ability to teach should be encouraged by the church to take the summer school. Every church should have a representative at the summer school. They can afford this because the co-operation of the Foreign Mission Board, the Lake Union Conference, and the Emmanuel Missionary College have so far reduced expenses that the summer term falls within the reach of all. Tuition free, tent rent free, board at reasonable rate, served on European plan. The announcement should be read by every one. Address E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich.
