“Let us Run with Patience the Race that Is Set before Us.” Heb. 12:1.

By N. ORCUTT

The Scriptures contain many admonitions to constant persevering effort in our conflict with the powers of darkness; earnest endeavors, not only to retain every advantage gained, but to make those advantages the stepping-stones to future victories. It is not he who starts with alacrity to run the race when the signal is given, and after a few paces gives up in discouragement or falls back to enter anew the contest, that will first, or most certainly, reach the goal, or take the prize. When we enter the arena to contend for the prize, the word gives no warrant for hesitancy or vacillation in our course. It is dangerous to pause or look back; safe, “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,” to “press towards the mark of the prize.” Phil. 3:13, 14. It is the patient, constant, sustained effort that will ensure success.

Says Paul, Rom. 2: 5–7, “God . . . will render . . . to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life.” Not doing well to-day and ill to-morrow, alternating obedience with transgression, but by patient continuance, perseverance, steadfastness; “always abounding in the work of the Lord.” “Run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus.” He is our pattern. We may profit by his example. Did he falter in the conflict? We may “follow his steps.” On the other hand, Was his every move in the conflict a step in advance? Our duty is plain.

If in our conflict with the enemy we gain an advantage to-day, how unwise to yield that advantage and have to fight the battle over again to-morrow. We are too near the end to spend our time thus foolishly. Our only safe course is, if we gain a foot of ground, to hold that and strike for another, and thus vanquish the enemy; and, by gaining a daily victory, ensure a final triumph. If we have been enabled to move out in the discharge of duty, we should hold ourselves in readiness when next we come up to that place, to move promptly, decidedly, without conferring with the enemy. We may expect that he will be there with his temptations, to strive to influence us to neglect what we should do. But why stop to parley with him? Far better let him understand that we have gained that point, and, in the strength of God, shall hold the ground and press forward to higher attainments.

We must confess Christ before men. Our course is plainly marked, and the consequences of our action fairly before us. Knowing what duty is, why allow the enemy to have anything to say about the matter? Why not let him and his understand that as we wish to be confessed by Christ before his Father and the holy angels, it shall be the first business of our lives here to confess him before men, in word and in life, whether he and the world favor it or not? He will dispute the ground as long as we hesitate, but when, in the strength of Israel's God we decide to go forward, he is powerless to oppose.

God requires us to obey him. Let the question be settled at once and forever, that where he has marked the way, there we will go, and there stand, let present consequences be what they may. It may be unpopular, inconvenient. It will bring persecution, and subject us to present loss. But what of that? This one consideration is enough. “We ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts. 5:29. “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” Rev. 22:14.

Love for God's law ensures peace. Unless we retain that love, peace will not abide with us. It is not sufficient that the seed be sown. It must be cast into good ground, well covered, where it may take root and daily thrive under the influence of the sunshine and shower, else the heat will wither, the thorns will choke, or the fowls will devour, and no fruit will be matured. Oh! may each day be marked with some real progress in the race. N. ORCUTT.

Is it not a Little One?

This question is often mentally asked, when one is tempted to commit some known sin. The fact that it is a sin cannot be concealed; its magnitude must therefore be diminished. The unhappy sinner strives to convince himself that it is a small sin, so very small that God will not regard it, or, at least, will not punish it severely.

But let it be remembered there are no small sins. Every sin is a transgression of the righteous law, is an insult offered to the authority of a holy God. The smallest sin will, if unrepented of and unforgiven, secure the eternal ruin of the soul.

What folly to attempt to abrogate the claims of God's laws, by blinding the mind to a perception of the true character of our actions! The darkening of our own vision will not obscure the clearness of God's searching eye. The deceiving of one's self is a very different matter from deceiving the omniscient God.—Sel.

Suppose it Was So?

If stolen money, like laying hens, could cackle, what a racket there would be in some men's pockets and premises. If stolen goods, like Chanticleer, could only crow, how many would be broken of their rest, and kept awake by night. If the hire of laborers—kept back by fraud—could talk like Balaam's beast, what braying would din some employers' ears. If the orphan and the widow could only speak, how many unjust ones would be troubled continually by the ringing of voices in their ears, saying: “Give us our rights.” If all things unfairly gotten and wrongly detained could be set free and sent back to their rightful owners—what a wonderful exodus would there be from house to house—from person to person—from purse to purse—from capital to labor—from labor to capital! If some “spiritual medium,” going from house to house, could enter all the parlors and chambers—plain and princely—whose furniture was bought with other men's money, and could set the several articles in motion—each in the direction of its rightful owner—what a movement there would be among the mirrors; what a rattling of silver plates, knives, forks, and spoons; what a hustling of chairs and tipping of tables; and would not many a bed take up itself and walk? It is a great thing to have conscience void of offense toward God and man. A great thing to be able to say: “I have wronged no one—corrupted no one—defrauded no one.”—Examiner and Chron.

The Life Struggle.

THE apostle Paul, after having labored long and earnestly in his Lord’s service, still felt that he was a human being, and liable at any time, through the weakness of the flesh, to lose all. “I keep under my body,” says he, “and bring it into subjection, lest after I have preached the gospel unto others, I myself should be a castaway.” If this watchfulness was needful on the part of this aged and long-tried servant of God, what care and diligence ought we to exercise, lest we should lose all in an unguarded hour? Our pathway through life is thickly set with snares for our feet. The seductions of passion, the allurements of vice, things to arouse our anger and stir up our heart’s feelings, await us at every turn of life’s devious ways, and blessed indeed is that man or that woman who meets them all without harm.

How to Start a Prayer-Meeting.

Let the few hearts that feel the need of warmth gather together, having first, each one, sought the Lord in private. If a regular service cannot be maintained at the church or vestry, let neighbors meet in each other's houses. No matter how small the number, let the joint pleading continue. Seize and hold the promise. Pray for that which lies nearest to you first. Let judgment begin at the house of God. Do not be so anxious to follow a particular bill of fare that you shall ignore your most conscious needs. Expect a blessing when you pray. Take it when it comes, and use it for Christ.—Christian at Work.

The Swearing Parrot

By D. Nash

Two friendly neighbors bought each of them a parrot. That of Mrs. A. was a bird of grave deportment, who had been taught to speak very proper words. That of Mrs. B. was an impious fellow, for his language abounded in bad words. Now, Mrs. B. felt quite shocked at the irreverent talk of her parrot, and prevailed on her friend to allow the grave parrot to pay a visit to the swearer, in hope of reclaiming the rogue by good example. The two birds staid together for about a month; but imagine the consternation of good Mrs. A., on the return of her more grave and decorous bird, to hear him swearing terribly. The fact is, that, instead of teaching, he had been learning, and from that sad day his language was as bad as that of his ‘scape-grace associate. Let all our scholars learn from this, that although they have never been guilty of profaneness, nor of speaking foul and unclean words, yet if they keep the company with wicked boys who delight in swearing, they will soon be likely to indulge in profane language; for “evil communications corrupt good manners.”—D. Nash.

True Faith Makes the Sinner Humble

TRUE faith makes the sinner humble, active and self-denying; false faith leaves men proud, indolent and selfish.

NOT YET.—

By S. S. Gem.

“My son, give me thy heart,” said the Lord Jesus to a little boy.

“Not yet,” said the little boy, busy with his hat and ball; “when I grow older, I will think about it.”

“My son, give me thy heart,” said the Lord Jesus to the young man.

“Not yet,” said the young man, “I am just going into business. When I shall prosper, I shall have more time to attend to the matter.”

Business did prosper.

“My son, give me thy heart.”

“Not yet,” said the man of business; “I am pressed now. When my children are well settled in life, I shall be better able to attend to religion.”

He lived to be an old man.

“My son, give me thy heart.”

“Not yet,” he cried; “I shall soon give up trade, and then I shall have nothing else to do but to read and pray.”

And so he died. He put off to another time what should have been done when a child. He therefore died as he had lived, without God.—S. S. Gem.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

DIED, in Battle Creek, on Tuesday, March 19, 1872, of diabetes and putrid erysipelas, Eld. Joseph Bates, in the eightieth year of his age.

Our much beloved and greatly lamented brother, was, at the time of his death, on a visit to the Health Institute in Battle Creek, in the hope of obtaining relief from a chronic difficulty which proved the cause of his death. His last hours, though characterized by pain such as few men have been called upon to pass through, afforded a marked evidence of the superiority of a faith in Christ over the bodily suffering and the prospect of certain and rapidly approaching death. Having in early manhood chosen the service of God, and having for many years faithfully endeavored to live the life of the righteous, his last end was such as those alone can expect who have sedulously endeavored to preserve a conscience void of offense toward God and man. It was with most perfect assurance that those who had been acquainted with his previous history, marked as it has been with toils and sacrifices in the cause of present truth, could say of him, as he yielded up his life into the hands of Him who gave it, He sleeps in Jesus.

On Thursday, the 21st of March, his remains were brought to Monterey, Allegan Co., Mich., where they were interred on the following day in Poplar Hill Cemetery by the side of his wife who was buried there a little over one year since. A funeral discourse was delivered by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:18, to a large and sympathizing congregation convened in the S. D. Adventist house of worship. W. H. LITTLEJOHN.

DIED, in Jericho, Vt., March 16, 1872, of apoplexy, sister Julia Oaks, in the fifty-fourth year of her age. Possessing a strong intellect, high social powers, and an amiable disposition, sister O. drew around her a large circle of friends. As a Christian, her life was devoted and consistent, anxiously desirous of promoting the cause of Him in whose service she enlisted years since.

She was one of the few who embraced the Bible Sabbath under the labors of Elds. Bourdeau in J., in the autumn of 1870. In this advance step in the reception of light and truth, these dear friends faced a tide of opposition and persecution, which called for an exercise of great moral courage and active faith in God. With others who moved forward in the light of divine truth, she was a member of the Methodist church. For some time she had mourned their lack of spirituality and power to prevail with God, as his children should. She was impressed that there must be additional light for the faithful.

Gratefully she took her stand with commandment-keepers. In meeting with a few of like precious faith, in her house, at the commencement of the last Sabbath but one before her death, she said, “I thank God that I am in the Spirit on the Lord’s day.”

But alas! how uncertain is life. The next afternoon as a few came to her house for religious worship, she was found alone, and nearly unconscious. Kind friends quickly came to her relief; but all that love and affection could do, could not save her.

She lingered unconscious nearly all the time, till just after the close of the following Sabbath, when she fell asleep, to rest till the Life-giver shall call her forth to receive the starry crown. Several children, and other friends, are left to mourn their loss. The church in J. miss her greatly. A. S. HUTCHINS.

DIED, in Rochester, Mich., March 3, 1872, of diphtheria and inflammation of the lungs, Milly, youngest daughter of Bro. G. W. and sister Mary Chamberlain, aged five years, three months, and ten days. She was beloved by all who knew her. Four other children of the family were sick at the same time.

Prayer and a few remarks were offered at the house by Eld. Swayne, Baptist. L. N. BARTHOLOMEW.

A Historical Incident.

By G. W. A.

THE unfavorable effects of the doctrine of hell torments in the intermediate state, is well illustrated by an incident in Martin's history of "The Dutch Reformation," which, by the way, is a highly entertaining book, that can be had at this Office for $1.50.

Early in the seventh century the catholic religion was introduced into the Low Countries. Previous to that time, the Netherlanders were pagans, but through the influence of the Frankish monarch, Pepin, Ratbod, a Frisian chief, was persuaded to allow himself to be baptized. But the imprudence of a monk spoiled all; for after the chief had immersed one leg in the baptismal font, a thought struck him, and he paused. “Where are my dead forefathers?” queried he. “IN HELL,” said the officiating priest. “Mighty well,” retorted the pagan; “then I would rather feast with my ancestors in the halls of Woden, than shiver and starve alone in the Heaven of the Christian;” and he declined the rite!

Query: Has the doctrine become more relishable now than it was in the days of the pagan chieftain?

To the Young.

By M. L. H. Huntley

THE object of the late fast appointed by our people has led me to some serious reflections. And as I fear we do not all realize the great responsibility under which we are placed, and the strict account which we shall be called to render when the time of reckoning comes, I feel desirous of expressing a few thoughts. Many of us have professed to give all for Christ, and to unite our interests with the cause of present truth. Are we doing all that we can do for its advancement? Are our devotion and consecration such as to lead us to choose a rough and thorny path, if, by thus doing, we may become more useful in this work?

What do we make the object of our lives? For what do we bend our energies, and put forth our most effective efforts? Is it to honor God, and exert a saving influence on those around us? or is it to please ourselves? While the voice of supplication is ascending to the Lord of the harvest that he will send forth more laborers into the great harvest-field, do our hearts respond, Here, Lord, am I; if thou canst, send me? There is work enough to do, and that also which is adapted to the ability of every one whose desire to do the will of God is stronger than any earthly desire.

God in mercy has given us light, precious light, through obedience to which, we may secure eternal life, and to some of us innumerable privileges which have cost a sacrifice on the part of others; and now we may have the privilege of making some little sacrifice, of bearing some small burden in the cause of our Master, and shall we excuse ourselves?

Precious souls are in danger of perishing for want of the light which we have received; and as they present their petitions for help, shall our hearts be unfeeling? Who can and will engage in the sacred work of warning people of their danger during the short time which remains before the great day of the Lord is ushered in? Some of the great Shepherd’s sheep are wandering upon the cold mountains, being chilled by the influence of the world and straying further and further from the fold of Christ. Who, with hearts full of love, will go and seek the wanderers? Who, with a deep sense of their dependence upon God, will engage in the missionary work? There are lonely hearts to cheer, grieved and wounded ones to comfort, the tear of sympathy to shed with those who mourn, the silent messengers of light and truth to scatter, and, finally, the great and pure principles of the religion we profess to exemplify in the daily life. In this sphere, all can be laborers.

Dear young friends, we may think that we can do nothing, but is it not because of a lack of consecration? And, unless we turn more fully from seeking our own pleasure, will not the following language apply to us? “Ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered”—hindered by our light and trifling words, by professing to follow Christ while living a life devoted to selfish interests. If it is so with us, will not the blood of souls be found upon our garments? May we be wise in improving the present and also the future, that when the time of labor is past, we may welcome the heavenly rest with those who have spent their lives in the Master’s cause. M. L. H. HUNTLEY.

General Camp-Meeting.

By George L. Butler; Stephen N. Haskell; Ira Abbey

THERE will be a General Camp-Meeting at Battle Creek, Mich., May 23-29, 1872. The Michigan and Indiana Conference, and the Health Reform Institute, will hold their next annual sessions at the time of this meeting. Particulars next week.

A very general rally is expected from all parts of the Michigan and Indiana Conference, and from other Conferences as far as practicable.

The General Conference Committee design to be present, and the wants of the cause at large will be considered. It will be a meeting of deep interest to our friends in all parts of the field. Each Conference should be represented by tent companies, or by letters from State Committees, stating their wants, and their interest in the different worthy enterprises of our people.

The wants of the cause in reference to an Educational Society, and a denominational school, will be considered at this meeting. Come prepared to take hold of this matter with interest and energy. The friends should all be on the ground the very first day of the meeting, with their plans laid to stay until the very last day!

GEO. L. BUTLER, Gen. S. N. HASKELL, Conf. IRA ABBEY, Com.

A School in Battle Creek.—Seventh-day Adventist Educational Society.

These are questions which have been agitating the minds of the brethren in this place more especially for a few weeks past. Shall we take hold, as a people, of the subject of education, and form an Educational Society? Shall we have a denominational school, the object of which shall be, in the shortest, most thorough and practicable way, to qualify young men and women, to act some part, more or less public, in the cause of God. Shall there be some place provided where our young people can go to learn such branches of the sciences as they can put into immediate and practical use, and at the same time be instructed on the great themes of prophetic and other Bible truth? These are some of the questions that came before a meeting of the church called by Bro. and sister White in Battle Creek about two weeks since.

That such a school is greatly needed is very evident; or rather, that many workers are called for, who have passed through such a course of training. Can they be found? and will they take hold of the work?

Several meetings have been held over this matter; but the steps thus far taken are only preliminary. Probably it will be thought best to form a society putting the shares or memberships, which will entitle the holder to vote in the business meetings, at $10 each, to raise funds for the purpose of renting, purchasing, or erecting school buildings, and procuring school apparatus. We would be glad to learn how many are ready to pledge for shares in this enterprise and to what extent.

The price of shares is put at a low figure, so that all may be able to take part in the enterprise, while the wealthy can take as large a number of shares as they choose. The friends of education we expect will take all the way from one to fifty shares each. We hope to see a thorough organization of an Educational Society effected at the General Camp-meeting appointed in this paper.

But the more immediate need is to start the school in some form. To this end we would like an immediate response from all who would be glad to attend such a school, and who will be ready to commence by the thirteenth of May next. If it can be ascertained at once how many wish to attend such a school, arrangements can be made, and we think operations commenced by the time specified. Let those who respond to this proposition, answer to the following particulars:—

What studies have you already taken, and what proficiency have you made in them?
What studies in the regular English branches do you wish to take up?
Do you wish to learn French, German, Greek, or Latin, one or all?
Is it your special object to fit yourself to take some part in the work of God?

As to expense, tuition will be no higher than at other places; and board will be obtained at from $2.50 to $3.00 per week. Those unable to meet this expense can board themselves at a still cheaper rate.

The matter at present is in the hands of a standing committee, U. Smith, chairman, E. W. Whitney, secretary. To either of these persons correspondence may be addressed in reference to this matter.

Good Authority.

By H. S. Guilford

The American Tract Society’s publications I think are generally considered good authority, at least, on most points. And as I do not remember of having seen their testimony published in the Review in regard to the date of the institution of the Sabbath, I send you extracts from their Dictionary of the Bible for general use. Page 272, under heading of manna, after having noticed the different kinds of manna, they say, “It is in vain, however, to seek to identify with any of these the manna of the Israelites, which was evidently a special provision for them, beginning and terminating with their need of it. It was found, not on trees and shrubs, but on ‘the face of the wilderness,’ wherever they went; and was different in its qualities from any now known by that name, being dry enough to grind and bake like grain, but breeding worms on the second day. It was miraculous in the amount that fell, for the supply of millions; in not falling on the Sabbath; in falling in double quantities the previous day; and in remaining fresh during the Sabbath.”

“By these last three peculiarities God miraculously attested the sanctity of the Sabbath, as dating from the creation, and not from Mt. Sinai.”

Again, in same book, under the heading of Sabbath, page 378, after quoting Gen. 2: 2, 3, the following statement is made: “We here have an account of the ORIGINAL INSTITUTION of the day of rest. Like the institution of marriage, it was given to man for the whole race. Those who worshiped God seem to have kept the Sabbath from the first, and there are tokens of this in the brief sketch the Bible contains of the ages before the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai.”

The RE-ENACTMENT of the Sabbath on Mt. Sinai among the commandments of the moral law, was also designed, not for the Jews alone, but for all who should receive the word of God, and ultimately for all mankind. Christ and his apostles never speak of the decalogue but as of permanent and universal obligation. “The Sabbath was made for man.” The fourth commandment is as binding as the third and fifth. Certain additions to it, with specifications and penalties, were a part of the Mosaic civil law, and are not now in force. Ex. 31: 14; Num. 15; 32–36.
