PARKER.—Died in Binghamton, N. Y., March 26, 1900, of consumption, Frank A. Parker, aged 50 years. He was converted when a young man, and united with the Methodist Church. About twenty years ago his attention was called to the Sabbath truth. This he thoroughly studied till convinced that the seventh day is the Sabbath, when he at once began its observance. This meant something to him, as he had to leave the home he had with one of his relatives, in order to keep the Sabbath. Later he became a member of one of our churches. He remained faithful to God and his cause till his death. J. W. RAYMOND.

The Coming King

By James Edson White

By J. E. WHITE.
Sixteen editions. More than 130,000 books, and another 10,000 edition on the press; also paper ordered for still another 10,000 edition; making a grand total of 150,000 books in all.
The cloth used in binding would carpet 2½ acres. The printed surface of the paper used in these books would make a carpet sufficiently large to cover a farm of 367 acres. Were the books piled one on top of another, they would make a stack 2 5-16 miles high. Were they laid end to end, they would make a path six inches wide, and more than 19½ miles long.
In this volume Christ is set forth as the great central figure in the plan of salvation, the Creator, Redeemer, the Leader of Israel, the Great Teacher, the Man of Sorrows, the Mediator, our Elder Brother, the One through whom the Father has revealed the beauty of his character and the depth of his love, in the gift of his only begotten Son for a sinful race.
The author gives special attention to the fulfillment of the Saviour’s prophecy brought to view in Matthew twenty-four, the persecution of the church, the darkening of the sun, the falling of the stars, famines, earthquakes, and tidal waves. Also in the book is considered the present perplexing problems of the day, such as—
The Massing of Wealth, Labor Troubles, Distress of Nations, The Money Question, Capital and Labor, and the Coming Conflict.
The book is clearly and forcibly written, and is designed to awaken an interest and to inspire confidence in the Word of God.
It contains 290 pages, 39 chapters, 180 illustrations. It is printed on supercalendered paper, published in four languages—English, German, Danish, and Swedish. This book in the foreign languages is printed in one color only. Bound in two styles of binding, beautiful cover design. Price, souvenir binding, gilt top and title, $1.50; cloth, plain edges, $1. Sold by subscription only. Agents wanted. The profits on this work are used for promoting missionary work in the Southern field. For further particulars concerning terms and territory, address your tract society, or the—
REVIEW AND HERALD PUB. CO., Battle Creek, Mich., or the PACIFIC PRESS PUB. CO., Oakland, Cal.

The Berean Library

Was started one year ago for the purpose of bringing out, in convenient form, at a moderate price, those books containing the fundamental principles of the Third Angel’s Message.
The interest in the study of the various lines of prophecy, and other phases of the truth, has constantly increased. The many encouraging words received from our brethren and sisters, telling of their appreciation of the books published in the Berean Library, and the showers of blessing they and their neighbors have enjoyed in the study of the lessons from week to week, is taken as evidence that this new plan of carrying forward our missionary work is a step in the right direction.
The publishers will spare no pains in selecting books for the current year that have a direct bearing on the message as it is to-day. These works will contain matter of vital importance to all who would keep pace with the Third Angel’s Message.
NO. 5, ENTITLED Looking Unto Jesus, … OR … Christ in Type and Antitype. BY URIAH SMITH.
The design of the author in this book is to aid the reader to gain an understanding of the nature, position, and work of Christ as set forth in type and antitype; also a vivid description is given of the sanctuary and its service, answering the question, What and where is the Sanctuary? and showing its relation to every Bible doctrine. The book will contain 300 pages.
Many subscriptions to the BEREAN LIBRARY expired with the April number. DID YOURS? If so, you should renew at once, as you can not afford to lose a single number of the Library; especially is this true of number five, as it is an exhaustive study of that all-important subject, the Sanctuary Question.
PRICE, 75 CENTS PER YEAR.
Send your order at once to your tract society, or to the Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

WORDS OF TRUTH SERIES,

By S. D. Heady

Number 26
Contains the “Open Letter to Christians of All Denominations, the Church of Rome Excepted;” also, “Answer to Letters on the Open Letter.” By S. D. Heady.
All who have read the “Open Letter” should read the “Answer to Letters on the Open Letter,” as the writer clearly defines our relation to the Law of God, its binding obligation at the present time, the fallacy of even intimating that it had ever been changed from the seventh to the first day of the week, and the inconsistency in referring to the first day of the week as the Sabbath of the fourth commandment.
This special number of the WORDS OF TRUTH SERIES should be placed in the hands of all those who have read the “Open Letter,” and should be scattered by the tens of thousands everywhere.
It contains 24 pages; price, 60 cents per hundred, postpaid; in quantities of less than 100, one cent each.
Send your order at once to your tract society, or to the—
REVIEW AND HERALD PUB. CO., Battle Creek, Mich.
or to the PACIFIC PRESS PUB. CO., Oakland, Cal.

A. F. Ballenger’s Post-Office Address

THE post-office address of Elder A. F. Ballenger is Gospel Tent, 2827 Pennsylvania Ave., Baltimore, Md.

American Sovereignty in Cuba

A CATHOLIC writer says that he believes, “from private sources of information, that the Roman authorities expect that American sovereignty will endure in Cuba, at least for some time to come.” That has been perfectly plain all the time.

Pray for Those in Authority

Of all times, surely now is the time when Christians should pray “for kings, and all that are in authority.” Surely, in the awful distress with perplexities that they now have, they need to be prayed for; and, considering these, what Christian can find it in his heart not to pray for them?

Rome and Cuban Independence

Rome may be depended on to do all that she can to keep Cuba forever under American sovereignty. Rome is no more friendly to Cuban independence now than she was when Spain held the island. Her attitude is indicated by the fact stated by that same Catholic writer, that “none of those ecclesiastics who, by word or deed, favored the patriot cause have in any way obtained promotion.”

Triple Map of Asia

THE Sentinel of Liberty, 324 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill., has issued an excellent triple map of all Asia; of China, Japan, the Philippines, and Malaysia; and of northeastern China and Korea. The price is only fifteen cents. This is what everybody needs these days, to watch intelligently “the way of the kings of the East.” Be sure to get it. Send your fifteen cents to the address given above.

Catholic Opposition to Secular Schools

That same Catholic writer who says that “the Roman authorities expect that American sovereignty will endure in Cuba,” also says: “There is no reason, absolutely no reason, why, in a country so thoroughly Catholic as Cuba, religious instruction should be banished from the schoolroom. And if the United States authorities should persist in taking such a step, Catholics throughout the United States will be justified in regarding it as an act of hostility to their religion, an act attributable only to ignorance or bigotry.”

JUST NOW.

A STENOGRAPHER is wanted at the Medical Missionary Training-School, Chicago. Write at once, stating experience, etc. Address 1926 Wabash Ave.

THE WORLD-PROBLEM

still grows more complicated. The governors of three provinces in central China have openly joined Prince Tuan, the leader of the Boxer movement, and marched with their armies to Peking. Prince Tuan has now an army of nearly a million. They have attacked the Russians in Manchuria, and even on the border of Siberia; and have posted placards announcing their purpose to march from Peking to Nanking,—about six hundred miles southward along the Grand Canal,—as they go “to burn and destroy churches and chapels, and then telegraph and post-offices, telegraph stations, colleges, and schools,” and “to drive away foreigners, so as to keep the empire in peace and comfort.” Up to July 17 only the German and the Russian ministers were known to be killed: on that day a dispatch was sent to Washington by the American minister.
On the part of “the allied Powers,” Tientsin has been taken after hard fighting by seven thousand troops, of whom seven hundred were killed or wounded, two hundred and fifteen of these being Americans. The American forces now in China, or else on the way there, amount to sixteen thousand; and several States have offered to the national government, troops for war on China, and other States declare themselves ready to do so. The other Powers are sending troops also. Britain is landing her forces on the Yang-tse-Kiang to insure order there, and also to guard her interests in the Yang-tse-Kiang valley—the British “sphere of influence.” Jealousy among “the allied Powers” is very plainly showing itself—just now over the question of who shall be commander-in-chief of the “allied troops:” Germany objects to a British commander-in-chief, and further says, on authority, that the “Russians would not fight under either a British or a Japanese commander.” Thus Russia, Japan, and Britain are excluded from naming him; and it is thought the choice may fall to France. This jealousy, however, may possibly cause such a deadlock that each Power will go its own way with its own commander; and if that shall be, then it is understood to be inevitable that China will be partitioned at once. And if that shall come, then the danger is that there will be war among the Powers themselves.
Thus in any aspect that may be considered, the China crisis presents not only the world-problem, but also the greatest tangle that this world has ever seen.
Some of our ministers holding tent-meetings are reporting that the presidential campaign and the trouble in China are so occupying the attention of the people that “it is hard to get them to listen to the Third Angel’s Message.” This is a sad showing; for of all things just now, these are the things of the Third Angel’s Message. To preach to the people the soon coming of the Lord and preparation to meet him in peace, is the Third Angel’s Message. And this trouble among the nations—the United States among them—that centers in China, is itself one of the plainest signs—more than once given in the Bible—of the Lord’s soon coming. Instead of being in any sense hindrances, these things are mighty helps in getting the people to listen to the Third Angel’s Message in all its fullness. Preach the message, and the people will listen.

NEXT WEEK

By Editor

there will be begun in the REVIEW AND HERALD a series of articles on “Modern Babylon.” No person can afford to miss them. Therefore do not let your subscription expire; and do not let your friend or your neighbor go without an opportunity to have these studies on “Modern Babylon” by taking the REVIEW two months—only twenty-five cents.

JUST THINK, TOO,

By Editor

that next week there is to begin also in the REVIEW our studies of the Place in Prophecy of the Great Nations of To-day, based on the Seven Trumpets of Revelation. Plainly, whoever misses the REVIEW the next two months will miss more than a fortune; and whoever will read and believe what will be in the REVIEW the next two months will get more than a fortune: and it will cost nobody more than twenty-five cents. Who is the person that can not for so much be persuaded to invest that little in his own behalf or in behalf of another?

A Call to Young Volunteers

By Editor

WE call the special attention of every young person to the “Volunteer” movement spoken of on page 476. And now let every young man and young woman in the ranks of Seventh-day Adventists who has the Volunteer spirit volunteer his services to the Master by beginning the work in his own church. And let every reader of the REVIEW read those two articles in the two previous issues of the paper in regard to young people and their work, and circulate them far and near; for the Lord is coming, and many young persons are not ready!

Teachers' Conference Bulletin

ATTENTION is again called to the Teachers' Conference Bulletin, the published proceedings of the recent meeting of the church-school teachers. The subject of Christian education is considered in all its phases by ministers and teachers. It is the best treatise on Christian education yet published. The churches should have it; parents should read it. God says that every church should have a school. What is the real reason for the command? Read the Bulletin and see. Price, 40 cents; postage 10 cents.
