Our missionary brigantine, the Pitcairn, reached San Francisco March 29. Her trip was very pleasant indeed, but rather slow, on account of calms and head winds. Her trip from Wellington, New Zealand, to Pitcairn Island was made in tolerably good time, about three weeks, but the time of passage from Pitcairn Island to San Francisco was forty-six days. The voyage, however, was very pleasant, and the ship reached here with all on board well.
Since the terrible scourge they had there of typhus fever, during which twelve died, the health of Elder Gates has been improving, and we were surprised to find him looking so well. At one time it seemed as though everyone on the island would be prostrated by the disease, but again and again, just as the last extremity was reached, the providence of God interposed, and the disease was checked. The Lord remarkably sustained our laborers there.
It was expected that Sister Rosa Young would come with them, but she had scarcely recovered from the fever, and it was thought not safe. The ship brought from Pitcairn twenty-five, crew and passengers. One of the sailors came from the ill-fated ship Bowdon, which was wrecked on Oeno Island, near Pitcairn, and brought the typhus fever to our brethren there. He has now accepted the truth and wishes to connect with the work.
Among the passengers were the family of Brother McIvor from New Zealand, Brother J. R. McCoy and daughter, Brother Henry Christian, and Sister Maud Young. The young people have come for the purpose of obtaining an education.
Some changes have taken place in the government of the island. It has now a president and council of seven. The number of inhabitants is now one hundred and twenty-eight. Sister Hattie Andre remains to carry on the work of teaching. More will be said upon the cruise of the Pitcairn, and her work, in future numbers. For God's prospering hand over the ship, and his blessing upon the laborers, we are grateful, and we believe that it is only a pledge of the better blessings that are to come.
A Hindu on Jesus Christ
A HINDU, lecturing before a Brahmo-Somaj Society in Sindh, in 1890, said: "How can we be blind to the great news, the unrivaled splendor, of Jesus Christ? Behind the British Empire, behind all the mighty powers of Europe, behind modern enlightenment, behind America, . . . lies the single great personality, the greatest of all known to us,—of Jesus Christ. He lives in Europe, and America, and Asia, and Africa, as a King and Guide and Teacher."

FEED MY SHEEP.
By Mrs. Merrill E. Gates
BY MRS. MERRILL E. GATES.
THAT was a narrow street
Where trod Thy blessed feet,
And that a noisy throng
That followed Thee along,
And many a one was such
We scarce would deign to touch;
But Thou wast pressed upon by the unfolded sheep,
And is it thus
Thou sayest to us,
"Oh, if ye love Me, feed My sheep"?
That was a toilsome way,
And that a sultry day,
When Thou didst, by the well,
Of living water tell,
And kindly speak to one,
As if that one alone,
The straying one, of all the world had need most deep,
And Thou no thought but to reclaim Thy sheep.
And is it thus
Thou sayest to us,
"Oh, if ye love Me, feed My sheep"?
That was a loveless word,
Which, by strange spirit stirred,
Forbade the children grace
To see Thy shining face;
But Thou didst call them near,
And smile away their fear;
And one such little one the symbol seemed to Thee
Of Thy great heavenly kingdom yet to be.
And is it thus
Thou sayest to us,
"Oh, feed My lambs, if ye love Me"?
That was a green hillside,
By Galilee's soft tide;
And sweet the garden's shade
By ancient olives made.
We often follow there
Thy words of life to share—
But, oh, the multitude of thine untended sheep!
Speaks there a voice within our spirits deep—
Thy voice to us,
And speaks it thus,
"Oh, if ye love Me, feed My sheep"?
—Advance.
FROM THE SOCIETY ISLANDS.
By Editor
It is well known by the readers of our paper that Elder B. J. Cady and wife are laboring in the Society Islands at Raiatea. In a letter dated January 21, written to Brother J. R. McCoy, which we have been kindly permitted to read, Brother Cady writes very encouragingly of their work there. He says the work seems to move a little slow now on account of the difficulty in learning the language, and yet there is much interest among the people, and good progress is being made. He thinks that the Society Islands would be a good opening for a school for that part of the field. Students, in his opinion, could be educated cheaper there than in any other place. He also feels that it was very much better for them to stop at the Society Islands than to travel on with the ship, for there he has learned so much more, and has been able to do so much better work, than in going from place to place. "The ideas," he says, "we formed of these people, while upon the ship, were very incorrect, and we know better how to labor among them now than we did then."
Just now their school has a vacation. The last of the last term one hundred and five scholars were enrolled, and they expect to have more when the school opens again. The health of himself and wife is good, and the climate of the island is pleasant and healthful. It is the place, he says, where they would be contented to work the rest of their lives, if that is where the Lord wants them to be.
CALIFORNIA GENERAL CAMP MEETING.
By N. C. McClure
THE California general camp meeting and annual conference will be held at Bushred Park, Oakland, beginning May 10, and ending the 20th. This camp meeting proper will be preceded by a workers' meeting, beginning May 3d, and ending when the camp meeting begins, the night of the 10th. This meeting will be one of the most important meetings ever held in the Conference, and all of the brethren, sisters, and friends who can possibly attend should be at both the workers' and general meeting. From the first there will be important revival services held, Bible instruction that is most appropriate for the times in which we live, also instruction in the Christian Help work for the churches, and a hygienic cooking class for all, conducted by experienced workers from Battle Creek.
The Auditing Committee will meet on the camp ground May 3, to do their work, so that it may not interfere with the general meeting. All who have been in Conference employ during the past year should see that their report of labor and expenses is handed in at least one week before that time, else their account may not be audited in time for settlement. All accounts must be made out up to date, and the remainder of time and expenses after that handed in immediately on arrival on the camp ground. All accounts must be sent to E. A. Chapman, Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal. If you have not received your blank for reporting, apply to him at once.

LESSON IV.—SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 1894.
JOSEPH RULER IN EGYPT.
[NOTE.—The questions which follow are merely suggestive for the student on the leading points of the lesson; it is presumed that the thorough student will think of many more as he studies the subject. References, where verses alone are given, always refer to the lesson scripture printed above. All other references are given in book, chapter, and verse. The text printed is that of the Revised Version, not because it is especially preferred, but because it is not found in every family, as is the common version.]
38. AND Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou;
40. Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled; only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42. And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee; and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
44. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
45. And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46. And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt.
47. And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48. And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

NOTES.
1. OUR last lesson closed with chapter 31, with Joseph sold into Egypt. Chapter 38 tells of the sin of Judah and of his family. Chapter 39 gives an account of how Joseph was bought by Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh; how Satan through Potiphar's wife tried to destroy Joseph, and his integrity in resisting temptation, and how because of this Joseph was cast into prison. Chapter 40 gives some incidents of his experience in the prison; how he there came into companionship with two of Pharaoh's officers who had been cast into prison because of misdemeanors. Each of these dreamed a dream, which Joseph interpreted, both coming to pass just as he said. Chapter 41 brings us to the time of our lesson, a period of thirteen years after Joseph was sold into Egypt. The first thirty-seven verses tell us about Pharaoh's dreams of the lean and fat kine and the full and blasted ears of corn; how Joseph was brought out of prison to interpret it; and how in that interpretation he advised Pharaoh to set a man wise and discreet over Egypt to prepare for the coming famine. Pharaoh believed the interpretation given of his dream; in fact, it was God who gave the dream, and it was God who brought Joseph to the notice of the king, that he might save Israel.
2. In whom the Spirit of God is.—Joseph attributed his wisdom to God, and Pharaoh admitted that it was so. God is all wise, and that man who is endowed with his Spirit is wiser than though he has all the wisdom of the world. Pharaoh knew this, and knew also that he would be faithful in all his duties, and that God's blessings would attend his plans and deeds.
3. Over my house.—That is, over all his officers and ministers of his kingdom, next in power to the sovereign.
4. Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah.—The margin says this name means "the man to whom secrets are revealed." Geikie suggests that it means "governor of the living one." Canon Cook says that it means "bread of life," a name very appropriate. Jerome gives it a kindred meaning, "the saviour of the world." Joseph's wife was Asenath, an Egyptian word signifying "the favorite of Neith," the Egyptian Minerva. The name of her father signified "belonging to the sun," and he was a priest of On, the city of the sun. This was doubtless in order to give as great power and influence to Joseph as possible, for the priests were a power in Egypt. The two Cleopatra's needles, or obelisks, one of which is on the shore of the Thames, in London, and the other in Central Park, New York City, both of which are sun images, came from the city of On.
5. Went through all the land of Egypt.—Joseph's work was thorough and so commends itself to everyone who would do faithful work. He went through all the land of Egypt, that is, he became acquainted with the whole field. He knew its resources, and could in that way know whether those who served under him were faithful or not.

36. AND one of the Pharisees desired Him that He would eat with him. And He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37. And behold, a woman which was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that He was sitting at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
38. And standing behind at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden Him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if He were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is which toucheth Him, that she is a sinner.
40. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41. A certain lender had two debtors; the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42. When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
43. Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44. And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45. Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46. My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
50. And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
This lesson contains only one subject,—the anointing of Jesus by the sinful woman, in the house of Simon the Pharisee, and her forgiveness. Study the story well, until you are familiar with every detail. Then you can feed upon the comfort that there is in it. An analysis of this entire chapter may very readily be made, sufficient to bring it before the mind. Thus: Healing of the centurion's servant; raising the son of the widow of Nain; inquiries of John the Baptist; extolling him and upbraiding the Pharisees; forgiving the repentant woman in the house of Simon.
With whom did Jesus one day go to eat?
While he was there, who came?
What was her character?
What did she bring with her?
What did she do?
When the Pharisee saw this, what did he say to himself?
What did Jesus, knowing his thoughts, say to him?
What illustration did he use to give Simon a lesson?
What was the Pharisee's decision in the case?
How did Jesus then apply the lesson?
How much love had the Pharisee shown to Jesus?
Show the contrast between him and the woman.
What did Jesus say of her sins?
In what condition did Simon's lack of love show him to be?
What did Jesus say directly to the woman?
When he said this, what did those at the table begin to say?
How did Jesus then address the woman?
How was she saved?
NOTES.
1. "This man, if He were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth Him; for she is a sinner." So spake the Pharisee within himself. He didn't know the Lord, and there are many to-day who are just as little acquainted with him. Christ came to save sinners. "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners." 1 Tim. 1:15. That which the Pharisee thought would be the reason why Jesus would not receive the woman, was the very reason why he did.
2. THE woman knew the Lord better than the Pharisee did. His frowns could not deter her from coming to Jesus. Whenever a sinner seeks to come to Jesus, the devil undertakes to keep him away. He says to the sinner, "You are too vile to approach so pure a being; you are not fit to associate with him." And then he quotes Scripture to the sinner. He says that the Lord is "of purer eyes than to behold evil" (Hab. 1:13), and evil shall not dwell with him (Ps. 5:4, 5). Too often the sinner is frightened away, but if he is as wise as the poor, sinful woman in this lesson, he will only press the closer, saying, "Since evil cannot dwell with the Lord, I will abide with him, and thus my sin will be driven away."
3. "To whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little." The Pharisee had not shown common courtesy, much less love, to Jesus. His heart had not been touched by the love of God, and he had not received forgiveness. This was not because of God's unwillingness to forgive, but because of his self-righteousness. A man will love in proportion to what he has been forgiven; but if he is so self-righteous that he feels little need of forgiveness, of course he will not be moved to love. Therefore the ones who love the Lord the most are the ones who have the greatest sense of their own sinfulness.
4. "THY faith hath saved thee; go in peace." Whatever gospel truth we find expressed in the writings of the apostles, we shall find illustrated in the ministry of Christ. The apostle Paul wrote, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom. 5:1. In this lesson we have a practical illustration of that statement. Many who are longing for peace fail to find it, because they seek for it in the wrong way. They are looking for peace as an evidence that they are accepted with God, whereas peace comes as the result of knowing one's acceptance with God. "Being justified, . . . we have peace." But right here many still err. They think that peace is merely a state of feeling, and so they look for a certain indescribable feeling of peace, and if they do not have it, they are in darkness and despondency. Those who depend on this feeling will have a fitful experience, and run the risk of fatal deception. All should understand that peace is not feeling, but an actual fact. It is reality, and not imagination or sentiment. Peace does not depend on feeling, and there may be, and often is, absolute peace with God and no feeling whatever. If this were not so, then a knowledge of acceptance with God would be only a matter of feeling after all. For if a certain feeling must always accompany peace, then one would have only to consult his feelings to know whether or not he is justified, since peace always accompanies justification. One's feelings are from himself, but peace with God comes from God. One can understand his own feelings, even though he cannot describe them; but the peace of God "passeth all understanding." Phil. 4:7. It is God who speaks peace to his people. Ps. 85:8. God is "the God of peace" (Heb. 13:20), and Christ is the "Prince of peace" (Isa. 9:6). "He is our peace." Eph. 2:14. Christ is a real being, and not a mere feeling; and we have peace with God only by having Christ, who dwells in our hearts by faith. Eph. 3:17. So peace, like righteousness, is ours only by faith. And this is so because it is not simply a consequence that follows the receiving of righteousness, but it accompanies righteousness, as a part of it. "Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other." Ps. 85:10. "The work of righteousness shall be peace." Isa. 32:17. Righteousness is the character of the God of peace and the Prince of peace. We get righteousness by getting the life and character of God in Christ. But we get peace in the same way, since peace is as much the life of God as is righteousness. So we get righteousness and peace by taking Christ for all that he is. His peace was unruffled by all the tribulations which he endured; he is used to such things, and therefore will not leave us when tribulations come. To everyone he says, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33.
FATHERS OF THE Catholic Church.
By Ellet Joseph Waggoner
BY E. J. WAGGONER.
HISTORY repeats itself, because human nature is the same in all ages of the world. Hence, he who would know how to avoid error in the future, must know how errors have developed in the past. The “Fathers of the Catholic Church” shows the condition of the heathen world at the time of Christ, briefly states the principles of ancient heathen philosophy, and shows how the adoption of these principles by prominent men in the church, and the incautious lowering of the standard of pure Christianity, developed the Papacy, which was simply a new phase of paganism. It shows that by the time of Constantine every phase of the Papacy was fully developed, and was only waiting for supreme power. The chapter on
SUN-WORSHIP AND SUNDAY

The Law of God as Changed by the Papacy
Is the title of a large Chart just issued, which shows in a striking manner the blasphemous pretentions of the Papal power. The testimony of the Best Catholic Authorities is given, and shows, by quoting their own words, that Sunday is a child of the Catholic Church. These quotations, together with admissions from standard Catholic works, are arranged in parallel columns on either side of this Chart, while the center column contains the Ten Commandments as taught by the Catholic Church. The whole forms a collection of extracts of incalculable value for every Bible student.
The Charts are three by four feet in size, and are printed on heavy map cloth in bold type, easily read across the largest room.
Price, Post-paid, $1.00.
A fac-simile edition on thin paper, size 5½x7½ inches, suitable for missionary distribution, has been prepared, and will be sent post-paid at 50 cents per hundred, or $4.00 per thousand. Address all orders to
