Fireside Correspondence School

By W. E. Howell

A Mecca of Opportunity

THAT is an interesting remark made by the young woman last week that in some respects correspondence study is better than school, for “in school we have to recite whether we have our lessons or not; in correspondence study we have to have our lessons prepared or we wouldn’t have anything to send in.” How often it happens, by the class method, that a student who comes to his recitation unprepared, depends upon slipping through without being called upon, or, catching a clew from his fellow students, ventures a guess at the answer, feeling his way along by observing the countenance of his teacher or his fellows, and leaving the class-room congratulating himself that he “got through,” as well as he did. None of that by the correspondence method. Nothing but honest, faithful work counts here. Not only the student’s knowledge of the content of his lesson is tested, but his use of language in all its aspects, in the expression of that knowledge. Every fault and every excellence stands forth boldly in black and white, and the student quickly learns to take pride in a clean sheet. The class method is only a makeshift, a resort for expediency and economy of teaching effort; individual instruction is the ideal, the kind that compels progress.
The young woman whose health gave way while studying by the class method, is not alone in her opinion of the virtues of study by correspondence. A girl of seventeen writes from Louisiana:—
“I for one have enjoyed and am enjoying my studies very much, especially in grammar. Some points seem much clearer to me than when I took grammar in school.”
A farmer’s son out in Missouri says:—
“I understand what I have studied in grammar better through correspondence than when studying at school.”
This is not bad testimony for grammar—that bugbear to so many young students, that shade that continually haunts some of us grown-ups, that one study which I “just hate” and “never could learn.” The remarkable success of our fifty-one grammar students (whose standings, with slight exception, range from ninety per cent upward, after close grading) is owing first of all to diligent, honest work, but also to the superiority of individual over class instruction, and to the virtues and methods of our thoroughly up-to-date course. Grammar is our leader among two hundred six subjects registered. On the roll are found the physician (in charge of a sanitarium), the teacher, the nurse, the miner, the plumber, the bookkeeper, the stenographer, the minister, the Bible worker, the canvasser, and many “home” and “farm” folk. We have prepared a special circular explaining our method, which may be had for the asking.
The correspondence school is the Mecca of opportunity for young people who are looking forward to an academic or college course, but who can not attend a resident school “this year” “for lack of means;” also for the multitude who “regret” lost or neglected opportunities at the usual school age. To all such we say, Come with us, come any time you please, and we will do you good. Always address Fireside Correspondence School, Takoma Park, D. C.

A Call to Prayer

By K. C. R.

THE Union Signal of February 24, the organ of the W. C. T. U., contains “a strong appeal to Christian people in Europe and America to observe April 3-10 as ‘Lord’s day week.’” The appeal is in part as follows:—
“That the Christian forces of each community may federate for kind, persistent work, (1) to educate all, especially non-churchgoers, by public meetings, use of the press, and frequent distribution of leaflets in every home, as to the purpose and value of Sunday laws; (2) to induce every citizen to obey Sunday laws, and the proper civic officers to see that they are obeyed.”
The object of this appeal is in direct opposition to the two fundamental principles of Protestantism,—the Bible and the Bible only, and the rejection of the civil power in all matters of religion.
Seeking to exalt the Sunday institution and to interpose the power of the state in enforcing the observance of the child of the Papacy by civil legislation, are as verily matters of tradition as was the enforcement of various dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church in the time of the Reformation.
Praying to God for those things which are in flagrant contradiction to his Word would be petitioning the Lord in vain. Sunday observance and Sunday legislation are both contrary to God’s Word, and for him to answer such prayers would be a denial of himself. Again, we are instructed to pray according to his will, and prayers that are contrary to it have no assurance of an answer. Sunday observance is certainly not in accordance with God’s will, for his Word plainly teaches that the seventh day of the week, instead of the first, is the Sabbath. Neither is the question of religious legislation in harmony with his will, but in direct opposition to it; for Christ said, “Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Should not God’s people earnestly pray at this time for the Lord to hold in check the forces that are seeking with such increasing zeal to exalt the papal institution and secure its enforcement upon all by civil enactment? May every Seventh-day Adventist be aroused to renewed consecration and earnestness in seeking for the power of the Holy Spirit to enlighten those who are in darkness concerning the truth for this time.

South Lancaster (Mass.) Academy

By C. S. Longacre

We are glad to report that hitherto the Lord has been with us, and has richly blessed us this year. Our attendance has been the largest in the history of the academy. Our total enrolment to date is three hundred eighteen students.
An excellent Christian missionary spirit permeates the school. Recently fifty-one of our devoted students dedicated themselves as missionaries to some definite foreign field. Four large classes have been organized among them, and each week they meet to study the special fields to which they have consecrated their lives. These studies are conducted by special leaders who are chosen from among their number. With such an army of consecrated youth, our mission fields will soon feel the impulses of a new power within their borders, and the Mission Board will have no difficulty to find recruits to man the fields.
Not only are our young people giving their lives to the mission cause, but at our church service last Sabbath they responded most freely with their means, when over fifteen hundred dollars was pledged by the South Lancaster church toward the $300,000 Fund for missions.
Satan tried hard to hinder the school work by sending scarlet fever among us, but the Lord heard our entreaties and granted us great favor with the health officers, and finally delivered us from it.
We are of good courage, and know that with the Lord's blessing we shall be able to overcome the enemies before us, and possess the goodly land.
C. S. Longacre.

“Frightened at Shadows”

By W. A. C.

A MEMBER of Congress to whom the leaflet “Do You Wish Congress to Prescribe Your Religion?” had recently been sent, writes us as follows:—
“I fail to see how the Johnston Sunday bill or any similar bill will bring about a union of church and state. I have read some of the enclosures, and think that whoever wrote them is frightened at shadows. I am an ultraconservative, and yet fail to see anything dangerous in setting aside one day as a day of rest.”
This evidently is not only an honest expression of opinion on the part of this man, but doubtless reflects the view of many others both in and out of Congress. They do not see how Sunday legislation will bring about a union of church and state. They see nothing dangerous in a law setting aside a weekly day of rest.
The author of the “famous Sunday Mail Reports,” adopted by Congress eighty years ago, saw the danger in such legislation. He said:—
“The proper object of government is to protect all persons in the enjoyment of their religious as well as their civil rights, and not to determine for any whether they shall esteem one day above another, or esteem all days alike holy.”
“Should Congress in legislative capacity adopt the sentiment, it should establish the principle that the legislature is a proper tribunal to determine what are the laws of God. It would involve a legislative decision on a religious controversy, and on a point in which good citizens may honestly differ in opinion, without disturbing the peace of society or endangering its liberties. If this principle is once introduced, it will be impossible to define its bounds.”
“If the principle is once established that religion, or religious observances, shall be interwoven with our legislative acts, we must pursue it to its ultimatum. We shall, if consistent, provide for the erection of edifices for worship of the Creator, and for the support of Christian ministers, if we believe such measures will promote the interests of Christianity.”
“Let the national legislature once perform an act which involves the decision of a religious controversy, and it will have passed its legitimate bounds. The precedent will then be established, and the foundation laid, for that usurpation of the divine prerogative in this country which has been the desolating scourge of the fairest portions of the Old World.”
“The catastrophe of other nations furnished the framers of the Constitution a beacon of awful warning, and they have evinced the greatest possible care in guarding against the same evil.”
Many years ago we predicted and published to the world that the movement in this country for the enforcement of Sunday observance by law would result in persecution and oppression to conscientious observers of the seventh day. Like the member of Congress already quoted, the National Reformers, who were behind this movement, saw no danger, and assured us that no such harm could come from such laws and such enforcement. They said:—
“From the beginning of the National Reform movement, they [Seventh-day Adventists] have regarded it as the first step toward the persecution which they, as keepers of the seventh day, will endure when our Sabbath laws are revived and enforced. One can but smile at their apprehension of the success of a movement which would not harm a hair of their heads; but their fears were sincere enough, for all that.”—Christian Statesman, March, 1874.
The events of only a few years later amply demonstrated that our fears were not only sincere, but well-grounded. In eleven years, from 1885 to 1896, under the revival and enforcement of Sunday laws which then took place, over one hundred conscientious, God-fearing Seventh-day Adventists in the United States, besides some thirty in foreign countries, were prosecuted for doing quiet work on Sunday, resulting in fines and costs amounting to $2,269.69, and imprisonments totaling 1,438 days, and 45 days served in the chain-gang.
Under this crusade an uncle of the writer’s, a minister, was imprisoned for thirty days in a Tennessee jail for hoeing a little in his garden on Sunday, and the writer’s only brother imprisoned for twenty-one days for carrying a few boards on that day.
Since this many similar prosecutions have taken place under the Sunday laws of this and foreign countries.
In the face of these facts we think we have something more than “shadows” to be frightened at, and good grounds for disbelieving the assurances of those who tell us that the success of this Sunday-law movement will not harm a hair of our heads. Prosecutions, fines, imprisonments, and chain-gangs can hardly be called “shadows.”
We know the spirit that is behind this movement and that will be manifested as the movement develops. God’s Word has clearly portrayed it. Its professions are lamb-like, mild, and apparently Christian, but when it speaks, it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. Rev. 13:11.
If the men now having to do with these first mild, harmless-looking national Sunday-law measures could be assured that they would end in a decree to slay from one hundred to one hundred fifty thousand God-fearing, commandment-keeping people, they would doubtless let them alone. But as Pilate failed to see the consequences of his act of turning Christ over to his enemies to be crucified, even after his wife, in harmony with her dream, had warned him, saying, “Have thou nothing to do with that just man,” so men to-day do not see the wickedness involved in this Sunday-law movement. Only a mind illuminated by an intelligent understanding of the Word of God through the Spirit of God can see or understand it.
W. A. C.

Religious Liberty Notes

The new religious liberty leaflet, “Do You Wish Congress to Prescribe Your Religion?” is now ready for use.
The Hartford (Conn.) Times says the public resentment against the enforcement of the Connecticut Sunday law of 1792, as has been obtaining for the last few weeks, is growing, and styles a recent Sunday there as “the bluest” in fifty-four years.
The young men's class of the First Presbyterian church of Washington, D. C., have written Chairman Smith of the House Committee on the District of Columbia, that they “heartily approve the provisions contained in the Johnston Sunday bill now pending in Congress.”
A recent number of the Mountain View (Cal.) Leader contained a two-column address of Elder W. M. Healey, which had been given in one of the public halls of the city. The Leader says the large audience was made up of people of every shade of religious and political opinion.
Rev. A. P. Doyle, of the Apostolic Mission House (Catholic), of Washington, D. C., gave a lecture in the Carnegie Library of this city, February 14, on “Art in the Catacombs,” in which he sought to show from the art and symbolism displayed in the catacombs “the striking similitude between the doctrines of the Catholic Church then and the [Catholic] Church twenty centuries later,” and thus “how well the faith of Christ has been preserved” by this church “through the ages.”
Sunday night, February 13, Elder W. A. Colcord spoke in Memorial Church, Washington, D. C., on “Not in Rome Only.” After commenting on the recent Fairbanks-Vatican incident and the intolerant spirit inherent in that religious system known as the Papacy, he showed that the same spirit was being manifested by Protestants toward Seventh-day Adventists in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere to-day. Reports of the address appeared in three of the Washington papers the following day. In two of these papers the statement was made that Archbishop Ireland, who was in the city at the time, had noticed what had been said at the Adventist church.

It is understood that congressmen who have had to contend against the federation for their political existence will lend their influence to the new organization.

The Signs of the Times Weekly for 1910-11

By Editor

The Great Threefold Message

TWENTY-FIVE thousand subscribers are now reading the Signs of the Times Weekly. Ten thousand of these began with the Home Bible Study Series last October. Only three more numbers, and that series will close. For months the editors and those associated with them have been studying and planning for what is to follow, and we give herewith a brief outline of some of the good things in store for its readers.

A Verse-by-Verse Study of the Book of Revelation

What one book of the sixty-six books of the Bible could we least afford to lose? It must be that book which gives a summary of all the good things in the other books, and closes the marvelous canon of Sacred Scripture.
Have you studied this divine drama of the ages? The editor of the Signs is going to tell about it in the year to come. These articles alone will be worth far more than the price of the paper for the year. But this is not all.

For the Busy Business Man

Beginning soon and running continuously through the year, there will be a “Page for Busy Men, by One of Them,” covering in the briefest and most conclusive form the reasonableness, reliability, comprehensiveness, and the world's need, of the Sacred Scriptures.
Even “he who runs may read,” and have his confidence established in the Word. Business cares rob many persons of the needed time for Bible study, with the consequent result that they are likely to be stripped of their shield of faith and become victims of the present-day theories and delusions of men. Shall we not improve this opportunity of learning “what saith the Lord”?

General Articles

There will be an interesting series of articles on the “Sanctuary Question;” another on the “Coming of the Blessed Master;” another on the “Great Sabbath Question” in both its negative and positive phases; another on the “Reformation Under Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah.”

Special Articles

In addition to the foregoing, there will be special articles on the following subjects:— “Life Through Christ;” “The Outpouring of God’s Spirit;” “Religious and Civil Liberty;” “The Meaning of Higher Criticism;” and “The Signs of the Times in Their Scripture Setting.”
Also articles showing how the great black hand of error is stretched out over the nations, with its five restless, nervous, grasping digits of popery, apostasy (religious infidelity), Spiritism, war, and greed, to gather in and crush the people of earth.

Three Hundred Questions Answered

The editor will answer three hundred or more questions on Bible and history. He will also conduct a happy, hopeful, instructive journey through the vales and over and among the mountains of the blessed Book. He will tell you of the great mission fields, of their needs, and the victories of the cross, and many other things.

Fifty Bible Readings

During the year fifty good, live, strong Bible readings on present truth will be given. Mrs. E. G. White and others will tell of God's love in Jesus Christ.
These articles will be well and appropriately illustrated with fine half-tone and line engravings.
We appeal to you to come and join the Signs family, if you have not already done so, and do it now, in order that you may receive the full benefit of these good things.
