My pen can scarcely tell of the goodness of God to me during the last three or four months while I have labored in this vast field. On every hand I find those who are hungering for the truth as it is in Jesus.
Last year it was my privilege to labor in Buenos Ayres for a few weeks, in company with other brethren. From there I went to General La Madrid, several hundred miles south of Buenos Ayres, where a missionary was interested in the Third Angel’s Message. I labored with him for a few days, holding meetings in the evening and conversing with him after school hours. He finally took hold of different points of truth, and is now walking in harmony with us. He is an earnest Christian, rejoicing always in the Lord, and doing all he can to bring those about him to the gospel. A woman in the same place had been keeping the Sabbath for several years, but had not received other doctrinal points. I studied God’s word with her, and as a result, she, too, is one with us in present truth. Another person began the observance of the Sabbath; and thus there is a small company here to shed abroad the light of the gospel in this isolated part of the earth. I next went to San Antonio, in the Chaco Santafecino. I preached in this place for one week, and four persons were converted. Two of these were baptized.
A month ago it was my privilege to go to Malbertina, province of Cordoba, and visit our brethren. I found them all of good courage, battling against error, and receiving much persecution, but happy in Jesus. I preached to them, studying the Bible morning, noon, and night, and thus our souls were watered with heaven’s dew. Two young men, who were converted during my visit, were baptized, and received into the church.
So it is all over the field: the latter rain is falling, and souls are coming out from error’s night to the resplendent light of the Third Angel’s Message. I see victory all along the line, and the blessing of God at every step. I realize more than ever to-day the great love the Lord has shown us, in calling us to be His ambassadors to a dying world, a world knowing not the eternal truths now committed to us for the world. My prayer is that God may help us each to well represent Him as we go in and out among the people; so that worldlings may truly discern that we are verily “sons of God” amid this corrupt generation; and that they may understand that we have “learned of Jesus.”

GENERAL CONFERENCE DISTRICT 2
By N. W. Aller
Twelve camp-meetings and one general meeting were held in this district during the last summer and fall. The attendance of our brethren at these gatherings was good, and the results of the labor bestowed were indeed encouraging.
There is a manifest growth in numbers and spiritual life in this field. Every State in the mission territory, as well as in the Conferences, has made provision for owning large and small tents for camp and other meetings.
According to their financial ability, the brethren here are as willing to give for the advancement of the work as in any place in which I ever labored. This is but the second year since the effort was made to hold camp-meetings in all the States in the district; but the value of these meetings as a means of advancing the interests of the great message of to-day seems as fully appreciated here as in the States where this method of service has been employed for many years.
The volume of business done by the Atlanta branch of the Review and Herald Pub. Co. will fall but little below that of the banner year—1892. The canvassing work is advancing in most parts of the district, and an encouraging feature is the improved character of the work now being done. The canvassers labor not as mere business men, but as Christian men and women engaged in a sacred work, of which the financial phase is secondary.
Another promising feature of the work is the establishment of small schools. A number of these are in operation, and the results are gratifying. In this great, needy field are room and welcome for hundreds of these schools, among the different nationalities represented here. There are hearts ready to receive the blessings brought by consecrated laborers. Information will be furnished gladly to those desiring it, as we are anxious to interest a large number of devoted Christian men and women in this work.
The medical missionary work is a great blessing to the people, and gladly welcomed by them. The field is large, and the opportunities are many. The work can be more successfully carried on in connection with small sanitariums, under direction of competent physicians. Christian farmers and mechanics will find plenty of room and opportunities here, as do canvassers, teachers, and medical laborers.
Much greater efforts should be made to get the message before the colored people. Seventeen laborers under pay of the General Conference worked almost exclusively for that race the last year, and eight or ten devoted part of their time to this work, besides several others who, with the exception of a small amount received as tuition, gave their services.
A few words from the experience of those who are laboring among the colored people may be of interest to the readers of the REVIEW. Prof. B. E. Nicola writes as follows: “The Oakwood Industrial School has an enrollment of fifty students. None have gone from the school this year. There is a hearty spirit of work on the part of the students, and progress is being made.
“There can be no doubt that a large per cent of these students deeply desire to become workers for the Master, and are earnestly laboring to that end. Last spring ten of our most promising and advanced students engaged in the canvassing work, fully expecting to resume their studies this year; but sickness prevented the return of all but four. This we regard as somewhat unfortunate, as it considerably increases the per cent of14young members in the school, and will to some extent extend the time in which more proficient laborers may be sent into the field.
“The addition of a nurse to the teaching force is filling an important demand in the school, and a class of ten are receiving instruction.
“The industrial work thus far introduced is performing its part in putting these students in possession of such training as will serve to better themselves and their race. The study of economy is not only a benefit and privilege with these students, but an absolute necessity. To figure out how to get through a year's schooling without a single dollar, or, as in some cases, with scarcely a cent, would be a problem for minds credited with more mathematical ability than is usually attributed to these people. I think we need a students' loan fund from which worthy persons who give evidence that they can earn and repay, could be furnished sufficient money to supply their necessities during their last two or three years in school.”
Miss Nellie Patchen, of the Juniata School, says: “I do not have as large a school as last year, but it is more of a church school, and I can do better work with those who attend. The Spirit of the Lord has been in our school since the opening, October 1. Hearts were being softened and prepared to receive the message, so when Brother Woodford came and presented the truth more fully, every girl in the dormitory accepted it and was baptized, and a church of over twenty members was organized.
“In two cases the parents had been brought into the truth by the children. The children of one of these families have been in school from the first. They accepted the health reform and began to keep the Sabbath, and as a result, the whole family of ten members, with the exception of three small children, united with the church. At the same time, another little girl, who has been in the school a long time, began to keep the Sabbath. She also brought her sister and her father into the truth.
“Three of the older girls were baptized, and we hope will become good workers. One of these taught in the church school at Montgomery, Ala., last year. Her sister is now teaching in the same school. She did good work canvassing.
“The students and new Sabbath-keepers have had good success in selling the Outlook Number of the Signs sent us by Brother Christiansen, and with the proceeds I have bought several more numbers, and have money left to buy tracts for our tract and missionary society. The people seem to enjoy the club of Southern Reviews that was taken for us at the camp-meeting last summer. I now have twenty-five enrolled, and am expecting a number more.
“The following is a report from Jan. 1, 1900, to the present time: Number in the dormitory during the year, twenty-eight. Number in the school during the year, seventy. Received on board from students (including provisions), $66.23. Rent of books, $5.03. Contributions, $6.50. Expenses: food for dormitory, $76.35; other expenses, $67.63; total expense, $143.98.
“I feel thankful for the blessing of God, which has thus far accompanied our school work.”
F. R. Rogers and his wife write: “We find the school an excellent means of getting Bible truth before the people. When it is taught in the school, it will get into the homes through the children. We visit the home of every student, and it encourages us to hear the parents say: ‘We send our children to your school because you teach the Bible; for we want them to know about it.’
“It requires much patient work to instill in these young minds the principles of truthfulness, honesty, and good morals. This is the hardest part of our work. Severe discipline is sometimes made necessary in order to produce truthfulness. Yet with all this to contend with, and much more, we enjoy the work for Jesus' sake. We are teaching largely from a Scriptural basis, and it is taking well with the people. We are much encouraged, and do not think of leaving the field, but pray for others to come and engage in the work.”
The other two schools under the Southern Missionary Society seem to be doing well. These are conducted at Yazoo City and Columbus, Miss. Elder W. L. Bird reports a successful school in Birmingham, Ala., where he has charge of the work. Another is being conducted at Montgomery, with a large attendance, and one, with day and night sessions, at Charleston, S. C. The one that was conducted at Chattanooga is now suspended for a time. We have several other reports, equally good and encouraging, but space forbids giving them now.
We are exceedingly anxious to encourage many other consecrated laborers to engage in the work in this field. The best time to labor is now here. The Lord has said, “There is no more fruitful field.” We are encouraged with the prospect before us. Other interesting experiences may be given in a future report.

SPECIAL NOTICES
By Smith Sharp
ATTENTION!
Let the church treasurers and librarians in the Cumberland Conference take note that Brother E. W. Carey, at 21 Hanson St., Lexington, Ky., is secretary and treasurer of the Cumberland Tract and Missionary Society and treasurer of the Cumberland Conference. All business in what has heretofore been known as the Cumberland Mission, transacted through our office at Atlanta, Ga., should now be sent to Brother Carey. Our church treasurers are specially requested to remit at once, and hereafter as often as once each month, so there may be money in the treasury to enable the laborers in the Conference to keep in the field.
As the General Conference no longer supports the laborers in this field, your promptness and faithfulness will determine how many laborers can be kept at work in our new Conference. SMITH SHARP.
WOODLAND (WIS.) INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
By William Covert
It is twelve months since this school opened in the building that it now occupies. Then forty-five students attended chapel exercises. At the anniversary, there were ninety-three, and counting the primary pupils, there were one hundred and eight, in actual attendance. The total enrollment since the beginning of the school year, August 28, is one hundred and fifty. Last year ninety were enrolled. The indications are that fully twice that number will be registered before the present school year closes.
The spirit of the school, and the success in the class work are encouraging. The studies and recitations are directed in such a manner as to come in touch with the Way, the Truth, and the Life at every step. The design in such a school is that the Lord himself shall be the teacher, while the student yields his faculties to the service of the divine mind. The problem of education is placed upon the true Christian basis, where the teacher understands this subject, and knows how to cause the truth to grow, in all his classes. And this is surely being done in the Woodland school. Its classification, at this time, includes all the grades up to the eleventh year. There is a decided and successful effort to do thorough work in these studies. But that which is most beautiful and encouraging is the conversion of nearly all the members of the school. There is a happy Christian experience associated with, and greatly strengthening, the acquisition of essential knowledge in every department. There is not a girl in the school who does not bear her testimony in the social meetings, and almost all the boys do the same.
The children and youth are not only learning facts, but they are learning the truth. In addition to the proper things which the public school gives, they are obtaining an excellent understanding of the Bible and the blessed truth for this time. The truth in the hearts of these students is manifesting itself in a substantial way at this time, as thirty of them have gone to surrounding neighborhoods and cities to sell “Christ’s Object Lessons.” They do this that they may bear their part in relieving our good college of its indebtedness. With nearly all, this is their first experience in the canvassing work. They design to stay out two weeks, and then return to their school work. Another feature that should make all rejoice is the absence of jealousies and criticisms.
The school and the church at this place have united in one missionary society to supply reading-matter on present truth, and do missionary work in Grand Rapids, Marshfield, Pittsville, and neighboring places. They have also elected a corresponding secretary for the purpose of enlisting the interest of all more fully in the foreign work, and of co-operating with our missionaries abroad as far as can be done. The principles and spirit that prevail in the Woodland school are shared generally by the church schools throughout the Conference, which are now established in about twenty localities.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS OF NEW YORK BRANCH OF PACIFIC PRESS PUBLISHING COMPANY
By Spencer N. Curtiss
AFTER January 15 the address of the New York Branch of Pacific Press Publishing Company will be 11 West Twentieth St., New York City, instead of 39 Bond St., as at present.
Since this branch was established, in October, 1888, it has been situated on Bond Street, and is familiarly known to many of our people throughout the world as the “Bond Street Office.” But a change of conditions and surroundings now makes it seem advisable to move.
We now go into a modern, fireproof, nine-story building, with freight and passenger elevators, and will occupy the same floor as at present—the fifth.
The new location is convenient to express and post offices, as well as to the religious and other book publishers. It is easy of access, being convenient to the various surface and elevated cars.
Our “latch string” hangs out, and we trust our people will make our place their headquarters when in New York, if their convenience can thus be served.
We shall have no storage room for anything beyond our own requirements, so can not accommodate our friends in this respect, as we have sometimes done in the past.
Make a note of the new address—Pacific Press Publishing Company, 11 West Twentieth St., New York City—after Jan. 15, 1901.
SPENCER N. CURTISS,
Manager New York Branch.

—, PA., DEC. 11, 1900. You will remember that I sent you four subscriptions for the REVIEW. Among the names was that of Mrs. —. She received the paper all right, and I delivered a book to her to-day, “The Great Controversy.” This woman never heard the truth preached before. You should hear her praise the REVIEW. She says she has long wanted just such a paper. She loves the truth, and wishes to tell it to some one else. So she ordered one copy of “The Great Controversy,” one copy of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and the REVIEW for one year, for her sister, who is a nurse in — Hospital in Philadelphia; and the REVIEW for two months for each of her two brothers. I praise the Lord; for just see what twenty-five cents will do. God is blessing His work. J. A. KIMMEL.
—, MINN., DEC. 7, 1900. Inclosed find draft for $1.50, for another year’s subscription to the REVIEW. On taking up my paper last evening on its arrival, I saw by the yellow label that my subscription expires this month. I began reading the first-page article, and did not stop until I had read the paper through. I then remarked to my wife that I thought it the best number the Review and Herald had ever printed. It is just full of good things. On reading the last page, I see you also consider it an important number. I had made up my mind that I could not afford the paper, and now I am convinced that I can not afford to be without it. J. D. C. KNAPP.
—, IOWA, DEC. 4, 1900. I can not bear to just send my money without telling you how I love the weekly visits of the REVIEW, and how much good it does me from week to week. With prayers for the good of others I either lend my copies to some neighbor or put them in one of our two racks here, that their circle of usefulness may be extended. Surely God is pouring out a blessing in the matter of the book work for our debts, and we shall shout the victory soon. MARY G. GORHAM.
—, MICH., NOV. 20, 1900. Inclosed find fifty cents for the REVIEW four months. I can not be without the weekly visitor in these perilous times. WORLINDER SOULE.
—, IOWA, NOV. 18, 1900. I send the money, $1.50, to renew my subscription to the REVIEW. It is fifty years since I began to take the paper; and we feel lost without it. I am entirely blind; have not been able to see to read for over eleven years. My wife reads to me. Last week we did not get the REVIEW until Monday, and the week before not at all. When we miss it, we do not know what to do. V. R. SEELEY.
—, MO., NOV. 7, 1900. My subscription expires this week. As the REVIEW is the best friend and teacher I have, except the Bible, I do not wish to miss it. You will find inclosed one dollar. Will send more as soon as I can. MRS. M. R. WAKEHAM.

Books in Popular Demand
By Editor
The Independent, November 8, notes the interesting fact that notwithstanding the election campaign, the troubles in China, the Philippines, and South Africa, there is no appreciable falling off in the book trade. It says that “all over the enlightened world books have suddenly risen in the popular interest. Not only novels, but books generally, are in strong demand. The people seem to be finding out the comfort of reading.” This is a most promising token, and should be of the greatest encouragement to our publishing houses, our canvassers, and our people generally, “all over the enlightened world.” Awake! awake! arise! the fields are white already to the harvest. Now, just now, is the time to work; and the night speedily cometh when no man can work.
We have received “An Argument from Labor’s Standpoint,” “by D. F. Kennedy, organizer of American Federation of Labor,” advocating the “economic value” of trusts, “in the evolution of industry.” Later we may notice the “argument.” Just now we only say that since the so-called “labor” unions have always been trusts, the consistent thing for such labor to do is to advocate the “value” of trusts.
India and China

King’s Life an Extra-Hazardous Risk

Archbishop Ireland to Inquire in Cuba

The Value and Work of the Review
By Editor
If you will read the whole of the fifteenth page of this number, except the railroad time-tables, you will gain somewhat of an idea of how the REVIEW is valued, and of the work that it is doing. Please read it, every item, just this once anyhow.
Christ’s Second Coming
That excellent tract, “Christ’s Second Coming,” published by Brother J. Q. A. Haughey, has now reached the one hundred and eightieth thousand. That is good evidence that the tract is liked by those who see it. Have you seen it? Write to Brother Haughey, 202 Washington Ave., Battle Creek, Mich.
General Chaffee Objects to China Policy
The American commander in China, General Chaffee, has publicly made objection, and that “very strongly,” to “the tendency manifest in the temporary government established by the Powers to give large salaries for very little work; to commence public works for which there is no immediate necessity; and, in general, to all appearance, to aim to get all they possibly can out of the Chinese at as little cost to themselves as possible:” and all of course at cash cost to China.
