LAYING UP TREASURE IN HEAVEN
Earlier text: THE GENERAL MEETING AT ST. CHARLES MICH

MISSOURI

TEN MILE, MACON CO.—We were called to this place Nov. 20, to meet Eld. D. R. Dungan of Des Moines, Iowa, in a discussion on the Sabbath question and state of the dead. Owing to a misunderstanding in regard to the time, Eld. Dungan did not appear until Dec. 7. The discussion began Dec. 8, lasting six days, with two sessions per day, of two hours each. Eld. Wood and Bro. Bunch had reviewed Eld. D. B. Ray in a series of sermons against us here, and meetings had been held for about three weeks before the discussion began. Eight had already signed the covenant, and at the close of the discussion ten more covenanted with them to keep the “commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Soon after the discussion the doors of the churches were closed against us. The last of December we spent one week in Sedalia at our general meeting, after which we returned to Ten Mile. The weather during the month of January has been very inclement, so much so, that our work has been mostly visiting from house to house, occasionally preaching in the school-house. Have organized a Sabbath-school which promises to be well attended. Held our last meeting with them Sabbath and Sunday, Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. As we closed our meeting Sunday night seven more signed the covenant. May the Spirit of God still work upon the hearts of this people. We expect to visit them again during the month of March. We are now holding meetings with the church at New Boston. Pray for us. N. W. ALLEN. Feb. 13. R. S. DONNELL.
DEERFIELD AND CARTHAGE.—Oct. 31 to Nov. 3 I was with the Deerfield church. Found the friends here doing well, with the exception of one person who had given up the truth since I last visited them. Dec. 5 I went to Carthage to follow up the interest that was created by tract and tent work last summer. I remained until the 23d. Three new ones signed the covenant, and a Sabbath-school was organized. The school will use 7 copies of the Instructor and eight copies of “Bible Lessons.” Social meetings or Bible-readings will be held every Sabbath. A man at this place seventy-seven years of age, is keeping the Sabbath and rejoicing that he has lived to see the truth. May God bless this little company and keep them faithful to the end. J. W. WATT.

ALABAMA

By G. G. Rupert

CHOCTAW AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES.—Feb. 5, I left home to visit the brethren in Alabama. Remained there till Feb. 19. Our first place for meeting was with the brethren at Silas. Found them anxious to hear the word spoken again. Our meetings were very interesting. Two persons were baptized, an elder was elected and ordained, and the ordinances were celebrated. Nothing of note had been accomplished here lately for the advancement of the truth; but when the importance of supporting the cause by tithing was presented, also the duty of engaging in the missionary work, new resolutions were made. Four copies of “Sunshine” were purchased by four persons, with a view to using them in canvassing. All signified their willingness to support a minister who would give his whole time to the advancement of the cause. Obtained two subscriptions for REVIEW, one for Signs, one for Good Health, and sold $27 worth of books.
From Silas I went forty miles through the pine woods to Washington Co. Here I met Bro. Dickey and family, who were glad to see me. Meetings were held at his house. On account of the severe illness of a sister our meetings were hindered. At this place, some are not living up to the light they have received in regard to health reform and the use of tobacco. As would be expected, there is not that interest in the truth that there should be. We labored to help them, and hope, as they promised, they will strive to overcome.
The cause in Alabama has had some distracting influences the last year; but we can see no reason why the truth may not prosper there as well as elsewhere. We know it will when those who profess it live up to the privileges they have. Bro. Clark will engage in the work of canvassing for “Thoughts” and “Sunshine” in Mobile. My visit was a very pleasant one, and I trust will be the means of accomplishing some good.
I am now spending a day or two in New Orleans, till I can get a boat across the Gulf to Tampa, Fla. Some more laborers from Illinois and Minnesota have arrived to help in the mission here. This mission, like all other places where work is to be accomplished, should be furnished with the industrious and devoted. Others are hindrances.

WEST VIRGINIA.

By W. R. Foggin

REPORT, WIRT CO., FEB. 12.—Have just closed a series of meetings near this place, which resulted in taking their stand with the remnant people who keep all his commandments and the faith of Jesus. Others are fully convinced and will, no doubt, soon unite with us. One of those who commenced keeping the Sabbath was bitterly opposed to the advent doctrine before he heard it, and said he thought no person should go to hear it. Another of the number had heard but one sermon for about twenty years. A family, consisting of parents and seven children, have lately commenced keeping the Sabbath a few miles from this place as the result of labor in their vicinity in the past. One minister, when publicly called upon to discuss Sunday-keeping, stated to the congregation that the strongest evidence he had in favor of it was his experience.
I was challenged by another to discuss the Sabbath question, but not until I had labored on his circuit four months. He affirms that Sunday is the first-day Sabbath, and that it was changed by Christ’s resurrection in commemoration of that event. I expect to discuss it with him soon. He is a minister of the M. P. church, and has been challenged by a B. minister to discuss the Sabbath question. If he accepts the challenge, I think I will not again be called upon to discuss it with him. I am going from here to the Flatwoods in this county. Remember the West Virginia, and pray God to strengthen our weakness. W. R. FOGGIN.

MINNESOTA

By W. B. White

IRVING.—Wednesday evening, Jan. 28, I commenced meetings with the little company here. Found matters in rather a discouraging condition. Meetings and Sabbath-school had been discontinued, many were much discouraged, and some had entirely given up living for God, and were living in violation to his law. Wrongs were existing which were shutting out the Spirit of God from their midst. While I tried to show these brethren and sisters that Jesus was soon coming, that the solemn Judgment would soon decide every case for eternity, and that there was no time to harbor wrong feelings, the Lord came very near by his Spirit. Confessions were made which came from the heart, and which were a source of relief to those who made them. Some who had been much discouraged for years, resolved at this meeting to press to the light and live nearer to God. The Lord will help these if they are faithful. Some who had back-slidden from the Lord expressed a desire to return. May we realize the necessity of deep work, and also that we are doing work for eternity. Our meeting was an encouraging one, and the Lord’s Spirit came very near. It was decided that the meetings and Sabbath-school should be continued. About $8.00 was paid in on the local T. and M. debt. Sold $3.00 worth of books, and took one subscription for the REVIEW. May God bless the little company at Irving.
From Irving, I came to Bonniwell’s Mills, Meeker Co., where there is some outside interest to hear. Have held meetings a few evenings for the people not of our belief. Have presented some of our leading points of faith to attentive congregations. Hope some here will obey the truth. I am of good courage. W. B. WHITE.

MICHIGAN

By E. S. Lane

BLENDON.—Came to this place Jan. 23, and held a two days' meeting. Found one more family rejoicing in the truth, as the result of missionary work. Several other families are interested and investigating, who we trust will yet take their stand for the truth, through the faithfulness of the church.
Feb. 1, I came to Beaver, at the urgent request of Bro. Gowell, who has lately been heeding the call of the Master to go out into the byways and hedges. As the result of this effort, he has brought four families into the truth. It has been two years since he himself became established in it; but he now holds considerable property ready to place upon the altar, when the Lord gives him an opportunity to sell. I am holding meetings in a commodious town hall which is nearly filled at every service, though the snow is so deep that the roads are almost impassable. I am now presenting the sanctuary question.
Adjourned my meetings at Beaver over last Sabbath and Sunday in order to visit the church at Ferry. Found them improving in the Sabbath-school work. They consider that they do not have a perfect lesson unless all the texts marked are committed to memory; and in accordance with this interest, their spiritual condition is also improving. Their first Health and Temperance club meeting was held in connection with the quarterly meeting, and was a grand success. Three dollars was paid in on tract work. May God bless them in all the efforts they are trying to put forth. Sunday evening, at the solicitation of Eld. A. N. Seymour, I gave a temperance address in the First-day Adventist hall in Hesperia. Although it was a stormy evening, the hall was well filled. Many earnest invitations were given to speak again. May the time soon come when the light of truth in regard to the coming of the Lord will reach honest hearts in this place. When the weather will admit, and the good work begun here in Beaver is completed, I hope to engage in health and temperance work among the churches, if the Lord will permit.

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and Dr. Gillette, superintendent of the State Deaf and Dumb Asylum, discussed the question of the best methods of instruction. Professor Bell favors the articulation method. Dr. Gillette insists that mutes will always stick to the sign language.
—Hiram Pierce, Commissioner of Indian affairs, recently remarked: “There are 200,000 inhabitants in Washington, which is the capital of this great nation, and the center of its refinement and culture, and yet there is more drunkenness and crime here than among the 250,000 Indians, who are savages, and have never felt the elevating influence of our modern civilization.”
—Mrs. Grant has given her consent to a Vanderbilt proposition to secure to the government the perpetual possession of Gen. Grant’s war relics and souvenirs of his journey around the world. Mrs. Grant has been appointed trustee of the relics, and will hold them until the General’s death.

FOREIGN.

—Orders have been given for the dispatch of 10,000 troops for the reinforcement of the British army in the Soudan. It is stated that several thousand rifles and some ammunition have been shipped from French ports for conveyance to El Mahdi. Great indignation is expressed in English official circles at this covert aid afforded by France to England’s enemies.
—An international meeting of anarchist workmen was held in Paris Feb. 22. Four thousand persons were present, including several members of the Chamber of Deputies. Resolutions were adopted, declaring implacable hatred against tyrants, protesting against wars of conquest, and expressing sympathy with the workmen of all nations.
—Khasm Mous, a messenger sent by General Gordon, states that according to the most reliable native accounts, the rebels, when they entered Khartoum, pillaged the town and massacred the people. General Gordon, with a number of Shoghehs, retreated into a Catholic church and refused to surrender. The Mahdi thereupon shelled the church, and everybody within was killed.
—On all sides it is admitted that there is more intelligent handling of the Mahdi’s forces than ever before. The news from Suakim shows that Osman Digna is gathering a large army, fairly armed. It is not thought that there will be any British advance on Berber before the autumn. Heavy desertions of Irishmen are reported from all regiments ordered to the seat of war.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

—The salary of Francis Asbury, the first Methodist bishop in this country, was $64, and his traveling expenses.
—The General Ministerial Association of Portland and East Portland, Or., Tuesday passed resolutions that would not marry persons divorced for other than Scriptural reasons, nor the guilty party who had been divorced for the latter cause.
—The Northwestern Christian Advocate is pronounced in its opposition to the skating rink. In a late issue it says: “We challenge all solicitous parents to test the rink craze thoroughly. As a result, no solicitous parents will hesitate to utterly prohibit their children from attending the rink.”
—Bishop Taylor’s little missionary army destined for Congo land took its departure from New York a few days since on the steamer City of Montreal. The company consisted of twenty-nine men and women and sixteen children—the largest band of missionaries that ever sailed from this country. They propose to land at the Portuguese town of Loanda, on the western coast of Africa, and from that point penetrate into the interior on foot, or with means of conveyance as they may be able to secure.
—It may well cause a sensation, and a deeply painful one in Roman Catholic circles—the announcement made in high mass in the Montreal Cathedral the other day, that a number of relics brought from Rome in 1880 by Monseigneur Fabre, Bishop of Montreal, are not genuine, and that his lordship has been victimized by a Jewish relic merchant of the Holy City. This is very sad—and the pathos of the thing lies in the fact that these bones have been working several very satisfactory miracles during the four years they have been adored. It was wicked in that Roman piracy to sell old tibiae and fibulae and clavicles for sacred relics, which were not sacred, but very, very secular. But the bones are not wholly blameless; they ought not to have worked such miracles. It is a satisfaction, though, to know that the osseous reminiscences have been destroyed by order of the Pope. And we hope never to record an imposture on the part of any old bones again.—Christian Work.

INDIANA

By J. P. Henderson

MARION, JONESBORO, HARTFORD CITY, AND PLYMOUTH.—During the past quarter I have held meeting with each of the above churches. Found them in a good spiritual condition, yet all calling for ministerial help. Four were added to the Jonesboro company, two of whom are young men whose help is much needed, the elder of the church having moved away; yet consecration is necessary on their part.
The Plymouth company hold on to the truth well. The quarterly meeting was the first held there; but all seemed to be in earnest, and not a jar mars their association. Under good leadership we hope all will continue faithful.
The Hartford City company will rebuild their church as soon as the weather permits. Since their quarterly meeting a “spiritual cyclone” has struck the city and vicinity. The secular papers have been giving an account of it, far and near; but Seventh-day Adventists, through the aid of the spirit of prophecy, have obtained a knowledge of these things beforehand. The following extract, dated 1849, from “Early Writings”, page 30, has been literally fulfilled during the past month in this place:—
“I saw that Satan was working through agents in a number of ways. He is at work through ministers who have rejected the truth and are given over to strong delusions to believe a lie, that they might be damned. While they were preaching or praying, some would fall prostrate and helpless, not by the power of the Holy Ghost, but by the power of Satan breathed upon these agents, and through them to the people.”
As described by eye witnesses the above prophecy is an exact description of what occurred. As many as ten persons were in a prostrate condition at one time. They would become stiff and cold, much like a corpse, and some of them would remain in that condition for hours. The greatest confusion prevailed during the exercises. Scores of persons would be yelling at the tops of their voices, clapping hands, jumping upon the seats, etc., and frequently these scenes would continue until two and even four o’clock in the morning.
Some of our people, for want of a proper knowledge, began to take part in the meeting; but the discovery of the above paragraph was a source of relief, and served to strengthen many doubting ones in the testimonies. The following statement is found in Vol. IV., page 374: “If there were no other evidence, it should be enough for the Christian that the spirits make no difference between righteousness and sin.” Those stricken down were often scoffers and the vilest of persons, the spirits “making no difference.” Many other statements were seen to be literally fulfilled. We need not be deceived. These testimonies from heaven are gleaming with warnings for the last days. The “strong delusions” are upon us, and “who shall be able to stand?” “To the law and to the testimony.” How grateful we as a people should be for the light given us; and it behooves every Seventh-day Adventist and true child of God to become fortified against these strong delusions. The works referred to, as well as others by the same author should be in every household, and read and reread by every one who is striving to escape the errors of these last days. I feel the need of a deeper work of grace in my own heart, that the Lord may never again permit me to doubt the testimonies of his Spirit, and that I may be a better instrument in his hands to carry forward his work. Pray for me.
Feb. 10. J. P. HENDERSON.

IOWA

GRANT.—I came to this place, Nov. 13, where I found two families of Sabbath-keepers who embraced the truth some five years ago under the labors of Bro. J. F. Hanson. But as they had had no labor or encouragement since then, they were somewhat discouraged. I gave a course of lectures in a school-house, in a First-day Adventist settlement, six miles from Grant. Met considerable opposition from their minister; yet three decided to obey the truth. After the State Center meeting, I returned to this place and commenced meetings in a Norwegian settlement, about four miles from the former place of meeting. Although the attendance was small at first, and considerable opposition was encountered from several of the leading men of the Lutheran church, the interest, notwithstanding the cold and stormy weather, has increased up to the present, and the attendance is now quite large. Two or three have already commenced to keep the Sabbath, and we have good hopes of several others. Bro. Wilson has been with me during the last two weeks, to help in the work. I have obtained three subscriptions for the Tidende, and sold about $11 worth of books and tracts. Received in donations about $13. I shall remain here a few days longer. May the blessing of heaven rest upon the work at this place. MATTHEW LARSON. Feb. 18.
KNOXVILLE AND MONROE.—Our appointment for Knoxville was Feb. 17, 18, in the middle of the week; but the meeting at Adel, which was appointed for the Sabbath previous, being postponed, we were left free to be at Knoxville Feb. 13-19. This seemed very desirable, and was perhaps providential. We found here one of the oldest churches in the Conference consisting of over fifty members, well officered, and owning a good house of worship. Much labor has been bestowed here in the past. But a few years ago difficulties arose between some prominent members which increased in spite of every effort to subdue them, finally involving more or less the entire church. We did not institute any investigation, but labored to bring into the hearts of the people the meek, forgiving spirit of Christ and a sense of their true condition. Meetings continued five days. Upon Tuesday the blessing of God broke in upon us, melting hearts to tenderness and contrition. Humble and sincere confessions were made with many tears. The Lord came very near by his Spirit. Oh, how our hearts rejoiced to see Satan defeated, and his cruel bands broken, which had so long held the cause in bondage. Bro. Nicola arrived in time for this meeting, and aided by his testimony and advice.
The outside interest, small at first, increased to the close. The last days of the meeting were spent in establishing the work. We expect that systematic missionary work will be carried on here. Preaching by the elder, Bro. C. F. Stevens, was appointed for each Sunday evening. Apparently a large work can be done here by faithful, judicious labor. We became much attached to this people while laboring for them, and left them reluctantly. But with union, courage, and the blessing of God, there are better days before them.
A team from Monroe conveyed us to that place. On our way we held a meeting with Bro. Marshall’s family and a few of the neighbors who came in. The church at Monroe numbers but few, and we found them in a discouraged condition. There were, however, no serious difficulties existing, and yet there was a lack of union and courage, which hindered their progress. At this meeting we shared the labors with Elds. Farnsworth, Nicola, and McCoy. A few of the friends from Sandyville were present. A measure of God’s blessing was in our midst from the first, and as the meetings progressed the interest deepened. We continued the meetings over Monday. On that day eight or ten came forward for prayers, several of them for the first time. The good Spirit of the Lord was present. An elder was chosen and ordained. We left these dear friends much encouraged. The interest among the citizens was manifested by an increasing congregation, and we believe this people have something to look forward to if they will humbly and unitedly walk before God and strive to do his will. O. A. OLSEN, G. C. TENNEY.

Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”—Rev.
ADAMS.—Died of gravel, near Richmond, Ia., Nov. 1, 1884, Eli H. Adams, aged 74 years and 8 months. He was born in Ohio March 10, 1810. He came to this state nearly half a century ago. He raised a family, all of whom live by themselves but the older son, who was taking care of father and mother. Father was one of the most affectionate of men and a faithful husband. He felt that his work was done, and he wanted to sleep in the grave. We hope to meet him in the morning of the first resurrection. J. W. ADAMS.
WINN.—Died of hernia near Logansport, Ind., Dec. 1884, Gilbert, son of William and Susan Winn, aged 12 years and 7 months. He was a great sufferer in the few days of his sickness, but he was very patient until death. Although young, he was baptized by the writer one year ago, and lived a consistent Christian life from that day till his death, ever ready to do his part in the social meetings. We laid him to rest but a short time, and if faithful will soon meet him in the coming kingdom. Discourse by the writer to a very large and sympathizing congregation. J. M. REES.
HANDLEY.—Died of congestion of the brain, near Oxford City, Ind., Jan. 9, 1885, Mrs. Sarah Handley, aged 58 years, 4 months, and 9 days. Mrs. Handley had been a resident of the community in which she lived since 1845. Her husband died in 1868, leaving her to care for a family of five children, three of whom survive her. For years she had labored to be a Christian, and sought to rear her family in the straight and narrow way. By her works she honored her profession. She was a strong member of the P. M. church until one year ago last fall, when the preaching of the third angel’s message in Oxford City arrested her attention. Since this time she has been a strong advocate of our views, promising herself and others that as soon as she could arrange her affairs, she intended to obey; but alas! death came unexpectedly, and too soon. Yet, trustful that God accepts the intents and purposes of the heart, we laid her away, not without hope of meeting again in the first resurrection. All who knew her testify to her firm Christian character. Her children have her upright example, and through them, though she yet speaketh. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, a large concourse of mourning relatives and friends attended the funeral, Jan. 11. Services in the M. E. church of the city. Sermon by the writer to a large and appreciative audience. J. P. HENDERSON.
WILLIAMSON.—Died near Poetry, Tex., Jan. 7, 1885, an infant son of J. G. and L. W. Williamson, aged 11 months and 17 days. A few words were spoken by the writer, from Job 14:14. W. S. CRUZAN.
SPOONER.—Died at Wright, Mich., Nov. 11, 1884, of pneumonia, Nellie May, only daughter of Sylvester and Minnie Spooner, aged 6 months and 28 days. May the gospel hope console the hearts of these bereaved parents, as the stroke falls heavily the second time within a few months. Funeral services by the writer, from Matt. 9:18. MRS. E. S. LANE.
PRINDALL.—Died in Brunswick, Me., Jan. 10, 1885, Abbie Prindall, daughter of Bro. and Sr. Daniel Ward, of Topsham, aged 49 years. Sr. P. leaves four children to mourn her loss. She had been a Sabbath-keeper for many years. Sermon by the writer. R. S. WEBBER.
PIERCE.—Died after an illness of several weeks, at Perry, Mich., Dec. 31, 1884, Jessie M., daughter of Robert and Loraine Pierce, aged 9 years, 5 months, and 6 days. She first had diphtheria and finally Bright’s disease set in, causing her death. Jessie was a patient sufferer, and learned her Sabbath-school lesson on Sabbath, even during her illness. She had many friends in the place, and many loved companions in school, who miss her bright and happy face in their midst. We deeply mourn our loss, but look forward to the resurrection morning. T. C. PIERCE.
CARLOCK.—Died of diphtheria at Watseka, Ill., Feb. 1885, Rosa May, daughter of Millard and Ann Carlock, aged 16 years, 7 months, and 18 days. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Job 14:14. W. H. OWEN.
MILLARD.—Died Jan. 16, 1885, at his home in North Centre, Kan., Orin M. Millard, aged 37 years and 8 months. He leaves a wife and three children to cherish his memory and the hope of meeting him. FANNY R. MILLARD.
CANRIGHT.—Died of lung fever at Otsego, Mich., Feb. 24, 1885, George Hadden, youngest child of Eld. D. M. and Lucy Canright, aged 14 months and 1 day. The circumstances connected with the death of this lovely child were very painful. Eld. Canright was absent, laboring in New England. He left the child a few weeks before in excellent health, and returned to find it cold in death. It was a very attractive child, and greatly beloved by a large circle of acquaintances. The funeral, held Feb. 28, was very largely attended, and many of the audience deeply sympathized with the afflicted parents. Remarks by the writer from Job 1:21: “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” G. I. B.
CASE.—Died of diphtheria, Feb. 12, 1885, while visiting an uncle, Alonzo B., youngest child of W. M. and Mary A. Case, aged 4 years, 4 months, and 15 days. The circumstances of his death were particularly distressing, as the parents did not have the privilege of seeing their child from the time he left home in the vigor of health till he was returned a corpse; but they find comfort in believing that he will come again from the land of the enemy, as will also a little sister laid away three years ago.
