Eugene Leland.
Svensson.—Little Harold, only child of Elder and Sister S. F. Svensson, died at Iron River, Mich., Dec. 20, 1900, of tubercular meningitis, aged 22 months.

Lane in the early ’70’s. He was a valiant soldier of the cross, and died with a bright hope in the soon coming of Christ. We believe it can be truly said of him, “Blessed are the dead,” and that he will be honored with others who have fallen with their armor on.

Smith.—John C. Smith died at Kalamazoo, Mich., of St. Vitus’s dance, Jan. 9, 1901. The extreme sufferings which Brother Smith endured affected his mind for years before his death. The funeral was conducted by the writer, from the Soldiers’ Home in Grand Rapids. Eugene Leland.

She had her senses to the last, and only two days before her death celebrated her sixty-ninth birthday, speaking words of encouragement and hope to her children, grandchildren, and relatives. Words of comfort were spoken by Brother Eugene Leland, from Job. 11:18.
Johnson.—Died near Poysippi, Wis., Dec. 4, 1900, Lars B. Johnson, aged 64 years, 9 months. He was born in Denmark, and a few years after coming to this country he settled near Poysippi. Brother Johnson and his wife were members of the Baptist Church when the Third Angel’s Message came to them, which they gladly received. When the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Poysippi was organized, they became members, and he acted as deacon for many years.

She left home September 3 to visit her friends in Pennsylvania, where she was taken sick with typhoid fever, which resulted in death. Her mother was with her when she died. Her father was with her at the beginning of her sickness, at which time she gave her heart to God. The funeral was conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder Uriah Smith, in the Tabernacle at Battle Creek, November 13. A large congregation of mourning friends were present. S. N. Haskell.
T. B. AND M. SNOW
By T. B. Snow; M. Snow
MARSHFIELD.—About January 1, one of the students of the Woodland School, who was sent here to canvass this city for “Christ’s Object Lessons,” secured the consent of a family to have us give them a Bible study once a week. Seven or eight readings have been given. Last Sunday, the man told us that both himself and his wife would keep the Sabbath, beginning with next Sabbath. He was employed in the boiler shops, and expected to lose his job. When he returned to his work last Monday, he told his employers that he intended to keep the seventh day, and asked whether he would be permitted to work on this condition. His employer replied that it made no difference to him, and that if he did not want to work on Saturday, he could work on Sunday. This brother says he threw away his pipe the next day after he had his first Bible study, though nothing special was said to him about it. This is evidently a case where the Spirit of God led the family faster than we had dared to do. Are there not many such who are hungering for the truth?
The work here is moving on surely though slowly, and we are of good courage in the Lord.

BY MRS. MINA MANN
Apples of Gold Library, No. 68.
A paper read at the ninth annual convention of the Kern County (Cal.) W. C. T. U.
A treatise on food from the standpoint of temperance work, set forth in plain everyday life. Price, ½ cent.
Someone Cares for Your Soul
BY W. S. SADLER
Apples of Gold Library, No. 69.
This tract was originally published in the Life Boat Series, and accomplished much good among the lost, discouraged, and downcast. It has been rewritten, and placed in the Apples of Gold Library. This tract has done a wonderful amount of good, and deserves an unlimited circulation.
Price, ½ cent.
Under the Law
BY M. C. WILCOX
Bible Students' Library, No. 163.
This tract has been issued in response to the continual demands for a short exposition of the texts now under consideration in our Sabbath-school Lessons. The different texts where the words “under the law” are found are taken up, and by uniting them, a flood of light is thrown upon the whole theme. This tract will be a great help to every one who is interested in the meaning of these texts, which are often misunderstood and misinterpreted. Price, 1 cent.

Two Books Unexcelled
By E. A. Sutherland
FOR USE IN HOME AND CHURCH SCHOOLS
By PROF. E. A. SUTHERLAND
THE BIBLE READER
is a word builder, a primer, and first reader. It teaches how to read and write the Roman Script. The author employs the most practical methods of imparting instruction to the young. The lessons are drawn from nature, and thus the young minds are directed to the God of nature, and the Bible.
Elder and Mrs. S. N. Haskell say: Mothers will find "The Bible Reader," a valuable help in the home. It will prove a blessing in the schoolroom. It gives a vocabulary which, when mastered by the child, will enable him to read the Bible at an early age, and thus fill his mind with Bible truth.
"The Bible Reader" contains 160 pages, 62 lessons, is illustrated, and substantially bound in board.
PRICE, 35 CENTS
THE MENTAL ARITHMETIC
is published, not because there is a dearth of mental arithmetics, but because there is a recognized demand for text-books upon this subject which are practical and adapted to the needs of the children and youth. In imparting a knowledge of the simple branches of arithmetic the author gives practical examples in astronomy, botany, physiology, natural history, carpentry, masonry, farming, etc. No examples referring to traffic in liquor, tobacco, tea, coffee, drugs, etc., are to be found in the book.
AN ADVANCE MOVE.
I have had the pleasure of examining your "Mental Arithmetic for the Home and School," and do not hesitate to say that, to my mind, it represents a distinct and important advance in the method of teaching arithmetic. DR. J. H. KELLOGG.
"The Mental Arithmetic" is a volume of 240 pages, having 87 lessons.
PRICE, 65 CENTS
Address all orders to your Tract Society, the Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich., or to the Pacific Press Pub. Co., Oakland, Cal.
Review and Herald Circulation
The total number of single copies of the REVIEW AND HERALD issued last year was nearly eight hundred thousand. The year before, it was a little more than seven hundred thousand.
Articles on Divine Healing
THE articles on Divine Healing, begun in this number of the REVIEW, will instruct in the truth all who read them. They are present truth: to instruct the people for the present time and for the time to come.
Death Penalty Demanded for Chinese Officials
THE ministers of the Powers in China have demanded the death penalty upon twelve Chinese officials. Two of these are already dead; nevertheless they must be made subject to the death penalty. And these Powers are teaching “Christian civilization” to the Chinese.
Postal Notes Safer Than Stamps
By Editor
WE made a mistake last week when we said that many of our readers could send their money in postage stamps more easily than in money orders. We find that at every post office in the United States, postal notes can be had for any sum less than five dollars, so it is as easy to buy a postal note as it is to buy a postage stamp. That is a safer and better way to send money than to send it in stamps.
