The June "Watchman"

As a result of the great stir over the Mexican situation, we have decided, at the last moment, to change our cover design of the June Watchman for that of a battleship scene.
We have received a number of the latest Mexican war scenes, which will appear in the June Watchman, also a leading article on the conditions in Mexico by the editor, L. A. Smith. The June Watchman is going to be an exceptionally good one, one which our people will want to distribute among their friends and neighbors.

U.S. DREADNOUGHT NEW YORK PREPARING TO SAIL FOR VERA CRUZ
Our striking battleship cover design and article on conditions in Mexico, with appropriate Mexican scenes, and several other articles on the leading topics of the day, all presented in the Watchman's own intelligent and forceful manner, will make our June issue one of the most interesting numbers and best sellers we have ever published.
A live issue in a live periodical for lively times!
Dear friends of the Watchman, let's scatter this issue broadcast, and advertise it over all the land. The June Watchman carries a message which all should read, and will if given an opportunity.

Summer School Work in the South

The Nashville Agricultural and Normal Institute has its doors open the year round, but special attention is called to the work of the summer term, which begins June 24. During the summer, instruction is offered to men and women who want a brief training along methods and principles of self-supporting work in the Southern field. There is room for hundreds of men and
women,— teachers, farmers, mechanics,— Sabbath keepers who have the spirit of the Master in their hearts, and who are willing to enter a hard field and live by the side of the people who need help. Wonderful opportunities are opening up for our people along these lines, opportunities for which we as a people have been looking for many years. Let us tell you more of the summer school and of the annual convention with which it closes. This is your time. Write for details. Address E. A. Sutherland, Madison, Tenn.

Obituaries

BUNTIN.—Dorothy, only child of Virgil and Berta Buntin, was born Sept. 3, 1902, and died at Lebanon, Ind., March 29, 1914. All through her long illness she was very patient, and manifested childlike faith in God. The writer conducted the funeral service, assisted by Pastor Charmichal of the Presbyterian Church. C. N. Sanders.
WILLETT.—Amelia Willett was a native of Manchester, England. She and her husband came to America in 1907, making their home in Roseburg, Oregon. Sister Willett was led to accept the truths held by Seventh-day Adventists four years ago, as the result of careful Bible study. She remained a consistent member of this church until her death, which occurred March 19, 1914. She was twenty-nine years of age. Her companion, two little girls, and a number of other relatives mourn her untimely death. She sleeps in Jesus, and her loved ones sorrow in hope. J. M. Hopkins.
BOND.—James Monroe Bond, a native of Iowa, died at Healdsburg, Cal., March 22, 1914, at the age of 66 years, 4 months, and 5 days. When he was five years old, his parents crossed the plains to the wilds of Oregon with an ox team. There the child grew to manhood, married, and then moved to central California, where he spent a number of years in farming. During that time he felt that he was called to minister to the sick. Hence, after completing a nurses' course and spending some time in treatment-room work, he entered a San Francisco medical college, from which he was graduated in 1893. He practiced medicine in California until 1906, when, with his son, he opened a sanitarium at Phoenix, Ariz. Dr. Bond continued his practice there until 1911, when he took up the work of chaplain and associate physician in the Healdsburg (Cal.) Medical Home. There he zealously devoted himself to gospel medical work, and more than a score of patients embraced present truth through his ministry. His wife and nine children survive. All his children are engaged in denominational work, Elders Frank and Walter Bond being missionaries in Spain. George W. Rine.
DUNBAR.—Howard Whitcomb Dunbar was born at La Junta, Colo., Oct. 14, 1899, and died at Loma Linda, Cal., March 27, 1914. He bore his long illness patiently, and fell asleep hoping to meet his Saviour in the resurrection morning. He is survived by his mother, grandparents, a brother, and a sister. Luther Warren.
LICK.—Lucy Ann Worden Lick was born in Bristol, N. Y., in 1830, and died at the home of her son near Salem, Oregon, March 31, 1914. At the age of eighteen years she was married to Sherman Lick, and to them were born two sons. Ten years later she was left a widow. For more than forty years the deceased faithfully kept God's commandments, and in the hope of a soon-coming Saviour she fell asleep. The third angel's message came to her through the labors of Elder Isaac Sanborn while she was living in Wisconsin. She is survived by one son, two brothers, and one sister. H. G. Thurston.
ROSE.—Lela Wood was born in Bonacca Island, Honduras, Central America, in 1890, and died in Coxen Hole, Roatan, Honduras, Feb. 21, 1914. She was reared in the truth, and was baptized by Elder E. L. Cardey some eight years ago. She was a consistent Christian, and took an active part in both the young people's society and the general church and missionary work. The deceased was married to Bentley Ross in February, 1912. Besides her companion and infant daughter, her parents, one brother, and five sisters survive. She died in the full assurance of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Christopher Jones.
CROUSE.—W. F. Crouse was born in Greene County, Pennsylvania, Feb. 11, 1828, and died suddenly at Moline, Kans., Jan. 6, 1914. When he was eight years of age his parents moved to Ohio, where he was converted to God. On May 5, 1850, he was married to Samantha Leake. To them were born seven sons, four of whom are still living. The deceased removed his family to Iowa soon after his marriage, and there accepted the faith held by Seventh-day Adventists. During his long life his faith in the third angel's message never wavered. He was a constant reader of the Review and Herald, and was devoted to the cause he loved. Many were brought into the truth through his labors. In 1896 his companion died, and two years later he was married to Paulina Heligass, who was taken from him in 1911. The funeral service was conducted in the church of which Brother Crouse had been elder for the last twelve years of his life. J. M. Gibbs.

Every Believer to Support Two Missionaries

Sounds big, doesn't it? But it can be done, and we can be doing it before the close of the year 1914 if we enter right into the spirit of the movement. This is the thought. It does not have reference to men and women, but to a missionary who has brought hundreds of people into the truth,—our pioneer missionary, the Signs of the Times.
Now, can't we all support two missionaries in the field? It costs only $1.20 for a year, or 60 cents for six months, when five or more of the Signs are sent to one person, and only five cents more each when mailed to separate addresses. Who cannot afford that much in his endeavor to reach others with the message? And what can we find more serviceable or effectual in our missionary work?
But think what it would mean to the field if, on the average, each of us were sending out two copies of the Signs. That would be about 125,000 copies each week,—six times more than at present; and it ought to be more than that. It would mean, too, that 125,000 homes were being entered by the message every week, and that about 625,000 persons were having the opportunity of learning the truth. It would mean that where the Signs is now bringing one person into the truth, it would then be bringing in six times as many. It would mean 100,000 more workers calling at the homes of the people. And it would mean that we were getting more under the burden for souls, which would be a greater blessing for ourselves and still greater for others.
Notice how the Signs is appreciated:—
"Some good friend has placed me upon your mailing list. I am glad of this, and I shall gladly pay the price of subscription for renewal when necessary."
"Just a few words. I am so glad to read so great a paper on religious views, sent me by some unknown friend. It is the greatest paper I have ever read on Scripture views."
"I inclose five one-cent stamps. I am very anxious for a copy of your dear paper Signs of the Times. I am not particular about the date; am sorry I am not able to take it regularly, but I am not. I have a friend in —— who often sends me the paper. I dearly love it, and read it to all my Methodist friends, as I am a Methodist from head to foot."
Let us decide that before the close of the year each of us will be supporting two of these good, tried, and true missionaries in the field.
G. C. HOSKIN.

Religious Liberty in America

By C. M. SNOW
This book deals with the growth of the principles of religious and civil liberty from the beginning of the Christian era down to our own time. It shows how the two principles — religious liberty and religious oppression — have run side by side through the history of nations, the one building up the true kingdom of Christ and the other making martyrs of Christ's true followers. The planting of those two principles on the shores of the New World, and the struggle between them for dominance here, is pictured in interesting detail. Considerable space is devoted to the growth and work of such un-American and oppressive organizations as the National Reform Association, the Lord's Day Alliance, and the Federal Council of the Churches; how these forces propose to unite and are now uniting for the enforcement of oppressive legislation, and have opened the way for union with the Catholic Church for the same purpose. The author shows how this combination of forces is working directly to fulfill the desires and purposes of Rome concerning America. The revelation of what those purposes are and what Rome is doing to bring them about makes one of the most thrilling sections of the book. The closing chapter, "Heaven's Answer to Earth's Great Problem," shows how God will work out the problem of this world through the second coming of Christ, and the establishment of his reign in this sin-smitten world. 436 pages, fully illustrated.

Good Form and Social Ethics

Free From Entanglements

We find in the world today many guilds and orders, many societies and associations, which have for their avowed object the betterment of their membership socially, financially, physically, etc. Some of these organizations no doubt are doing worthy work. The Boy Scout Movement, of which Elder S. B. Horton writes in this number, seems to be possessed of worthy objects, and may accomplish in its sphere and way a large amount of good. But the question arises as to whether or not the boys among Seventh-day Adventists will find benefit in this organization. This we seriously question.
We believe that in connection with the work which God has committed to this people there are ways and avenues to engage the full energy and interest of our young people without turning to worldly societies and worldly associations. We cannot freely and with impunity do what others who have no knowledge of the times in which we live may undertake. God calls Seventh-day Adventists to better things. He calls our boys and girls, our young men and women, to bear an active part in the giving of this advent message to all the world. In this work they may find opportunity for the exercise of every power of body and mind.
We note by the minutes of the European Division Committee meeting that Peter Drinhans, of Germany, sailed from Hamburg on April 14 for Africa, to join the staff of the Victoria Nyanza Mission.

A New Outpost in Szechuen

Another province of China can be checked off from our unentered list. A letter received by the Mission Board from the secretary of the Asiatic Division, C. N. Woodward, brings information that a telegram had just come to Shanghai reporting the arrival in Szechuen of Brethren F. A. Allum and M. C. Warren, presumably accompanied by Mrs. Allum and the children, and Mrs. Warren. Szechuen is one of the westernmost provinces of China; and beyond the range of river steamers four hundred miles of the journey had to be made by house boat up the Yang-tze-kiang. We are thankful for this new outpost far in the Asiatic interior.
Writing from North India, Elder S. A. Wellman sends the word: "We are of good courage, the message is making progress, and the prospects are such that we look for constant advancement in spite of all the enemy can do. All the workers in North India are set to the work of soul winning this year, and we must pass the last year's mark if possible."
