Earlier text: The East Caribbean ConferenceCentral Union Conference Summer School
By D. D. Rees
The second annual session of the Central Union Conference Summer School for church-school teachers, began in Atchison, Kan., June 21, and will continue until August 16. About fifty earnest teachers are in attendance. The school work is being conducted in a beautiful private college building, rented for the session; and those in attendance are well accommodated in two large buildings, the farthest of which is only one block from the college building. The location of the school is in the most beautiful residence portion of Atchison. For a long time it has been thought that our church-school teachers should have more experience in active missionary work; hence, aside from the regular, the school spends at least one hour in Bible, history, physiology, English, arithmetic, pedagogy, voice culture, and nature study, each one connected with the school, spends at least one hour each day in house-to-house work, visiting with the people and leaving with them a number of the Family Bible Teacher. In this work the Lord is coming especially near, and all are receiving rich experiences that can not but better prepare them for the great work to which they have been called. In the vicinity of the school a seventy-foot tent has been pitched in which public services are held each evening, conducted by Elder E. T. Russell and Brother B. E. Huffman. Elder A. R. Ogden is expected in a few days to assist in the work. The meetings have only begun, but the interest manifested already seems to indicate that a good work will be done. The members of the school family attend the tent-meetings, take notes from the sermons, and afterward make careful reviews of them in class work. While visiting the homes of the people, distributing the Family Bible Teacher, they are often invited in for Bible study, and are asked many questions concerning our faith and practice. Thus an opportunity is afforded for teaching the lessons studied each day. Sabbath, July 2, brought rich blessings into many hearts as we united in worshiping God. The Atchison church united with the summer school in all the services of the day. Sabbath-school was held in the tent at ten o'clock, followed by preaching services. At 3 P. M. we met in the college building for quarterly meeting services. The power of God was felt in the pouring out of his Spirit upon all. We separated with a deeper consecration to God and his service. We ask to be remembered at the throne of grace. D. D. REES. Washington Training College

Report of the Oakley (Kan.) Camp-Meeting
By T. Godfrey
THIS little camp-meeting held in the far western part of the State, was a grand success. While the attendance was not large, the interest was good. Our last Sabbath-school numbered fifty-five. Donations for both Sabbaths amounted to $3.69. Our last Sabbath services were attended with great power; there were many reconsecrations, and some for the first time decided to obey. Three went forward in baptism, being buried with Jesus and raised up to walk in the new life. Elders McReynolds, Russell, and Ogden were present, and assisted in various lines of gospel work. Brother C. W. Hardesty was also present in the interest of our publications. The Lord was present by his Spirit, and all were greatly blessed. A business meeting was held on the last day of our camp-meeting, at which many reported good interest in their neighborhood. All voted in favor of holding another camp-meeting next year at some suitable point. The work is growing in this field, and in the near future we expect to see many small companies raised up. Brethren Ogden and Kelley are assisting me in following up the good interest that was created. We expect great things in these meetings. T. GODFREY,
District Superintendent. Words of Good Cheer From the People
By J. S. WASHBURN
We will give brief extracts from a few letters just received which show the one spirit that is moving upon the hearts of all our people, making this move to Washington a great means of unifying all the loyal soldiers of the message. A very touching and pathetic feature of these letters is that a large number are from those who are aged, and who have long been connected with the great message of truth. “God bless you much, and give wisdom in all you do to establish the work of the Lord in Washington, D. C. I believe that the Lord directed in locating there. I shall be glad to help you in so doing. I once owned one hundred and thirty-eight acres, all paid for, worth $60,000. All but one acre has gone into the cause of God. I am almost seventy-seven years old. If I can help you any, I shall be glad to do so. I have been an Adventist for sixty-two years.” “I have already pledged twenty-five dollars for the work in Washington. I have some land that I will sell, and as soon as I sell, I will give some more. I am thankful to give for the good work that is going on, and I am so glad that I can have a part in it. May the Lord bless you and all the workers there in Washington, and give you wisdom to carry the great responsibility the Lord has given you in the message. I hope that I can soon sell my land, and then you will hear from me again.”18 “I have read all your letters to the church. All have subscribed. . . . The long list of names is the first thing I read in the REVIEW AND HERALD lately. It seems to me by the outlook that even if your school is in running order soon, it will not have long to run. The end is just upon us. I wish all Israel were in the field. May God’s richest blessing rest upon you and the work is my prayer.” “I have been watching with much interest the move to Washington, and have often thought of a Testimony that came to this people just prior to the fires in Battle Creek. One said to go forward, and another one said if God’s people did not leave Battle Creek, the Lord himself would scatter them. I am so glad there are men at the head of this work who believe God when he speaks through his servant. I feel in my very soul that this message is soon to close, and I do hope and pray that there may be such unity among the workers at Washington that they may receive the second pentecostal shower, that this message may do its work speedily. And now may God’s blessing and his Holy Spirit guide you continually till Jesus comes.” “I am one hundred and six years old. I have given money to the cause till now I am supported by my son-in-law. I am glad to get the REVIEW. You have my prayers. May God bless the work. I was in the first and second messages. I can not get to church now, but I love the message, and try to encourage those who come to see me. May God bless all the workers.” As in the days when Jesus was about to be revealed in his first advent the people were in expectation, so are they to-day. And as the psalmist has written, “Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power,” we have the assurance from the willing hearts of our people that we are in that glorious day. That this work may be quickly established according to God’s providence is the desire of all. It is God’s will. His will is being done in the earth, and soon truly the mystery of God shall be finished, and his true-hearted, obedient followers shall enter through the gates into the glorious city. FIVE new converts were baptized at Townsend, Mont., July 4. OVER fifty pupils are enrolled at the summer normal school at Atchison, Kan. ELDER W. C. HEBNER reports the baptism of four persons at Rothbury, Mich., June 25. FIVE young people were baptized at Bloomfield, Conn., June 26, and the following Sabbath were received into the Hartford church. THE company at Chico, Cal., have been recently strengthened by the addition of seven new members who were baptized at Yuba City. Several others are expecting baptism soon. A CONVENTION of Indiana church-school teachers will be held in connection with the State camp-meeting at Martinsville, August 18-29. A State convention for the young people will also be held.19 ELDER F. H. CONWAY reports an increase of seven in the membership of the church at Star, O. T. TWENTY-FIVE persons, mostly young people, were baptized at the Colfax (Washington) camp-meeting, held June 14-19. FIVE persons recently united with the Killbuck, Ohio, church by baptism, making the present membership of that company twenty-seven. A SABBATH-SCHOOL of twenty-nine adult members was organized at Lancaster, Pa., July 9, where Brother C. S. Wiest is holding meetings. Two persons united with the Clay Center, Kan., church, July 2, and six others expressed a desire to become members, who have probably been enrolled as such ere this. TENT-MEETINGS at Danville, Ill., conducted by Brethren Chas. Thompson and P. G. Stanley, have brought out a company of eighteen, who have signed the covenant to keep the Sabbath and walk in the light of present truth. AT Chanute, Kan., where a series of tent-meetings was lately concluded, four individuals recently began the observance of the Sabbath, who with others who have accepted the truth there have been organized into a church with a membership of about twenty. IN a report of work at Forest Home, Meno, and Ames, O. T., L. P. and Minnie Syp say: “Each one of these meetings resulted in a few uniting with the old Concord church, which had about died on account of removals. When we came here, the church membership was five. It is now thirty-four, and they have a Sabbath-school with forty-eight enrolled.” IN a report of the camp-meeting at Alto, Tex., Elder N. P. Nelson says: “The outside interest and attendance was excellent every night. The woods seemed to be filled with people, and every night they would come from every direction to attend the meeting. Nearly every night some one would stand up and say, ‘I am convinced of the truth, and intend to keep next Sabbath.’ The prophecies were dwelt upon every night, but during the day the instruction was largely of a practical nature. This was found very necessary, as tea, coffee, pork, and tobacco have been used more or less by nearly all the Sabbath-keepers in this part of the State; but all the brethren seemed willing and anxious to learn.” TENT companies are located in Iowa as follows: (1) Elder C. A. Washburn, A. F. Ferguson, J. F. Piper—New Virginia, Warren County; (2) Elder E. G. Olsen, Lloyd Manfull and wife, Archer Cotton—Buffalo Center, Winnebago County; (3) Elder G. R. Hawkins and wife, J. T. Spriggs and wife—Oakland, Pottawattamie County; (4) J. C. Clemens, J. M. Moore—Allison, Butler County; (5) Arthur McClintock, Arthur Rhoads—Lakepark, Dickensen County; (6) C. E. Rentfro, O. M. Kittle, Ed. Swap—North English, Iowa County; (7) Elder N. C. Bergersen, P. E. Brotherson—Ute, Monona County; (8) Elder J. H. Craft, J. J. Schiffner, E. J. Dietel—Minden, Pottawattamie County; (9) Wm. J. Johnson, C. W. Hollingsworth—Fonda, Pocahontas County. The Canvasser’s Leaven
By J. B. Blosser
“Let those who gain such an experience in working for the Lord write an account of it for our papers, that others may be encouraged. Let the canvasser tell of the joy and blessing he has received in his ministry as an evangelist. These reports should find a place in our papers; for they are far reaching in their influence. They will be as sweet fragrance in the church, a savor of life unto life. Thus it is seen that God works with those who co-operate with him. “Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.”—“Manual for Canvassers,” pages 38, 39.” Why does the general agent when visiting the churches in the interest of the canvassing work, everywhere meet the searching inquiry, “Is the canvassing work as prosperous as it used to be? I don’t hear much said about it.” Is not the answer apparent? Certainly God has not ceased to bless and prosper the faithful, God-fearing canvasser. But his good experiences are not passed on to the people as much as they should be. These experiences to the church are “a savor of life unto life.” They are to the canvassing work what leaven is to the dough. They will elevate and quicken it to action. Others will want to join the ranks and gain a like experience in working for the Master. Shall we not recognize this, and encourage our canvassers to send in these accounts of their experiences for publication? Not only for publication, but at our camp-meetings and general gatherings time should be allowed for them to tell of their work. At several of the camp-meetings in the Lake Union Conference last year meetings of this character were held, and the “sweet incense” of the reports and testimonies of the canvassers spread to the congregation, and from many came the hearty response to the call for volunteers, “Here am I; send me.” Let those having the arrangements in charge for meetings at our coming camp-meetings see to it that ample time is given this important branch of God’s work. A Personal Testimony
By Mary E. Armstrong
I FEEL under obligation to make known to my brethren and sisters the great thing which the Lord has done for me, to ask them to praise the Lord with me, and I also hope that this may be the means in the Lord’s hands of increasing our faith in his precious promises of healing. July 28 of last year the Lord, in answer to prayer, healed me in a most miraculous manner. I am in my eighty-first year, and had suffered greatly for over a year with cancer on the breast, scrofula, hip disease, chronic heart-disease, and an abscess on my face, caused by having the jaw-bone fractured when having some teeth extracted. For several months I had been confined to my room in the Women’s Annex Soldiers’ Home, suffering intense pain day and night, until it was quite evident that there was no human help for me. About four weeks previous to the time of my healing, the Lord impressed me to seek him, to know if it was his will that I should be healed. During that time I put away all medicines, and took him alone for my Great Physician. After waiting on the Lord in this manner for three weeks, he gave me evidence that if I carried out the injunction of James 5:14-16, it would please him to heal me for the glory of his name. I then called for the elders of the Grand Rapids church, and Brother and Sister Leland made arrangements to take me to their home, which they did July 27, the day appointed for prayer and anointing by the elders, who were to meet me there. Circumstances were such that neither of the elders could come, one of them being out of the city. Not knowing this, we waited through the evening, and my faith was somewhat shaken. Next day we waited on the Lord, then before retiring, we wrestled with the Lord in my behalf. After a season of importunate prayer we retired, and I slept all night, and until after seven o’clock next morning, something I had not been able to do for over nine years. Sister Leland, anxious to know my condition, woke me. I stood on my feet, and realized at once that the heavy burden of disease under which I had struggled so long, was all gone. Praise the Lord! I went out and told the family that the Lord had taken all my diseases away, and made me every whit whole. Then we all praised the Lord together. After breakfast I returned to the Soldiers’ Home, in order to bear witness to the wonderful things the Lord has done for me. The Lord is wonderfully blessing me daily, for which I praise him. May each one who reads this have his faith increased, and may we all be enabled to take hold of his strength, is the prayer of your sister in the truth. Soldiers’ Home, Kent Co., Mich.

W. T. BLAND, Assistant Treasurer. How Success Is Attained
By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells
Is it the privilege of every person to be filled with a burning enthusiasm for the speedy accomplishment of this work? Is it the privilege of every believer in this truth, to be fired with the spirit to serve? How may this spirit be brought into life? First, he who would be filled with the spirit to serve in this cause must turn his mind toward this cause. And he has that power; every person has the will power to turn his mind, and center it upon whatever he chooses. And, secondly, when he has turned his mind, his thought, toward this cause, he must go to work. He also has that power; and as he works, his enthusiasm will increase, his power to serve will increase; and so as he thinks on this work and engages in it, he is built up, the Lord working in him and through him, for mighty service in his cause of right. In this way every one who is now engaged in valuable service started. Perhaps just a young man, twenty or twenty-five years of age, with little experience, he turned his mind toward this work. In weakness he began to do what he could, and in the thought, in the doing, he was developed, so that he could do strong, mighty, and efficient service for God. So I plead with every one to turn his mind toward the finishing of this great work. And not only to turn his mind toward it, but to direct his effort in the doing of the work. I thank God for this great truth, for this third angel’s message, for this steady movement that has made us a people. I thank God for the glorious possibilities that are right before us, that are within our reach, and I earnestly pray that this will truly be the beginning of a new era, a new experience to this people, especially to those who have been attending this convention. O my brethren in the school, in the ministry, and in all phases of this work, let us here, now, deliberately and determinedly dedicate our lives to this cause for new service, for unreserved service, that every power of our being shall be centered upon and devoted to it, and I tell you we shall soon see the cloud lifting. We shall see the church going forth conquering and to conquer, and we shall live to see the end of this great work.
