THE RELIGIOUS LECTURES IN BATTLE CREEK.

By George I. Butler

THIS series of doctrinal discourses commenced in the Tabernacle Tuesday night, Feb. 24. The congregation has ranged from 1000 to 1200. There has been excellent attention and we hope for much good to result. Eld. Kenyon and the writer have thus far been the speakers. Eld. Smith and others will participate. How many of this congregation are not of our people it is hard to tell; but many strange faces are seen in the audience. We expect these meetings will be continued some weeks. They are held every night but one in the week. Bro. W. C. Gage makes a report of every lecture in the Daily Journal of this place which is being circulated quite extensively. Brethren, everywhere, will you pray for the success of this effort? G. I. B.

Lodi Editor Argues for Sunday Observance

The editor of the Lodi (Wis) Valley News needs enlightening. He argues for Sunday just as if it was enforced by the fourth commandment.

Webster's Practical Dictionaries Offered as Subscription Premiums

By Editor

We have procured from S. S. Wood, sole agent, 134½ West 33d St. New York, a new supply of Webster's Practical Dictionaries, which will be used in procuring new subscribers for the REVIEW. Let those who wish to work for us not miss this opportunity.

NOT THE ONES.

By Editor

A FANATICAL set of so-called Adventists in Creston, Iowa, are disgusting the people and arousing the fears of the community in regard to the direction their insane freaks may take hereafter. And some, perhaps misled by the term Adventist, refer to these people as Seventh-day Adventists. This is a mistake. They are not that kind. S. D. Adventists have a sound scriptural theory that steadies and controls the reason, instead of unbalancing and dethroning it. We protest against any mixture with the class above referred to.

SPECIAL.—BIBLE READINGS.

By Editor

THE year’s Bible Readings published under the title of the Bible Reading Gazette, are now issued in book form, well bound in muslin, comprising 162 readings, and making a book of nearly 300 pages, which will be sent postpaid for the small sum of $1. They are just as available for use now as when they were going through the press. The best thing to use to get the truth before your neighbors where a preacher cannot be procured. If any have parts of sets we can supply the missing numbers to make them complete at 10 cents for each monthly issue. Address REVIEW AND HERALD, Battle Creek, Mich.

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE REVIEW.

By George I. Butler

SUBSCRIPTIONS are coming in by the hundreds since the dictionary, so favorably spoken of, has been offered to those who would subscribe for the first time. At this season of the year, when many subscriptions expire, and when times are so hard, we are forced to the painful duty of cutting off many names. But we are sure most of these will renew. We have never seen a person who was not pleased with the dictionary. It is an exceedingly useful book for every family, and there is none in the market for the same money which will compare with it. With such a premium, it is easy to get persons to subscribe who have no religious interest; and we cannot tell how many of these will become interested. One of our brethren, whose life of integrity as a Sabbath-keeper had long been known in his neighborhood, and who had thought he never could obtain a subscriber, went out one afternoon and obtained four or five. He continued to go out, and obtained others. One man took the paper who had in his house already two dictionaries, one of them unabridged. Many of our people could succeed as well as this brother. Always try first to get their subscription for a year at $2.00, with the dictionary; if you cannot, then try for six months at $1.00. G. I. B.

The Signs Canvass

By George I. Butler

With “Sunshine” and other books has gone on splendidly. We hope the earnest workers will not grow weary in well doing for they are engaged in a good work. Many thousands of names must already have been added to the Signs list. Our greatest regret is that the time is so short before the subscriptions expire. We hope there will be special efforts made to obtain renewals of the three month’s subscriptions. We are glad indeed to learn that some are having such success in canvassing for the Signs with Vol. IV. of “Great Controversy.” This is such a precious book that the reading of it will do great good. We have personally read it through more than once, and portions of it as many as four times; and every time, if possible, with increasing interest. How we wish a million copies could be sold. We hope it will be circulated in every legitimate way, and if it can be used to help in the circulation of the Signs two important objects will be accomplished. It will do the people great good to read the book and also our excellent pioneer paper. Brethren and sisters, let us work. This is what we need to do. Work for the circulation of God’s truth everywhere. We have but a short time to work. The night soon cometh. G. I. B.

THE SPURIOUS ARTICLE.

By G. I. B.

DOUBTLESS the readers of the REVIEW have perused the article from Eld. Canright in last week's issue, on Salvation Army methods, holiness movements, faith cures, etc. Any sensible man, with any knowledge of the teachings of our Saviour and his apostles, can discern the difference between their methods and these now being so actively put in operation. How little seriousness, repentance, contrition of soul, humility of heart, and seeking God's blessing with tears there is in these modern methods! If we feel we are all right, we are all right, seems to be the general conclusion; whereas the Bible teaches that if we have the Spirit of God we shall bear the fruits of the Spirit, which are “love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.” The possession of these, with “the meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price,” is the true evidence of our acceptance with God. True religion in the soul will produce good works in the life, reverence to God, obedience to his word, a sense of our own unworthiness and littleness before God. We shall want to sacrifice for the cause; we shall suffer anything with patience which God's providence may permit to come upon us. Beware, brethren, of the spurious article. G. I. B.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

NOTICE

By E. S. Griggs

Also any others wishing to join us in this work. E. S. GRIGGS.

TO OUR ILLINOIS S. S. ASSOCIATION.

By A. O. Taylor

Quite a number of other State S. S. Associations have decided to donate their contributions for a quarter to the Australian mission. Why should they be behind in anything? Let all the schools of the State begin April 1 to lay by their contributions during the ensuing quarter for this important mission, putting forth a vigorous effort to make them greatly exceed any previous whole year.

MEETING AT SPRING SIDE, KANSAS.

By Will D. Curtis

No preventing providence, there will be a general meeting held at Spring Side, Pottawatomie Co., beginning Friday evening, March 6, and continuing till Monday, the 9th. We are very anxious to have our brethren and sisters in this part of the State present, as this will be an important meeting. Eld. J. F. Cook, the president of our Conference, will be present. Come up to the meeting, brethren, bringing the blessing of the Lord with you. Do not with one consent begin to make excuses; but lay aside the cares of this life, and come up to worship before the Lord. Bring blankets with you. WILL D. CURTIS.

TO SABBATH-KEEPERS IN ONTARIO.

By T. M. Stewart

To our scattered friends, and all who feel interested in extending the warning of the third angel’s message to this part of the world, I would say that in harmony with the suggestions of our last General Conference, I am now in this part of the wide harvest field to do what I can, by God’s grace, to help you. I want your sympathy and co-operation in the work. I am at Toronto and expect to make this my center until I can see a more favorable opening elsewhere. I expect to visit every Sabbath-keeper in the province as soon as Providence opens the way. Will you please communicate with me here, and let me know your wishes and needs.

Let us seek the Lord for his help and his blessing to rest upon us and our labors. Let us be ready to embrace every opportunity to work for him. Pray for me, that the Lord may endow me with wisdom to labor wisely in his vineyard, and that he may bring my labors to the salvation of precious souls for whom Christ died. If the tent is to be used during the coming season who will furnish the means? and who will volunteer to go with me? My address is 505½ York St., Toronto, Ont.,

Yours for the truth, T. M. STEWART.
