WE are all free to acknowledge that Jesus is our pattern, and that during his life here on the earth he set an example for all to follow. He said, “Follow me,” and, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also.” Jesus was a seed sower. He sowed the seeds of gospel truth wherever he went. He is called “the heavenly sower.” He did his work amid hardships and trials, with tears and sorrow of heart. Though he met scoffs and discouragement at every step of the way, yet he never faltered, but kept steadily on until his work was done: and with joy he said to his Father, “I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”
Thus we have the example of our Saviour set before us, also the statement that he has commissioned us to take up and carry forward the same work which the Father sent him to do. Thus we are made seed sowers of the gospel message in the world. It is a most important and solemn work, and we are not to be slack about it either; for the commission is, “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand.” We are to put in full time,—yes, all the time; for, by referring to the first chapter of Genesis, we learn that the evening and the morning covered the whole day, as it says, “The evening and the morning were the first day;” “The evening and the morning were the second day,” and so on. This should be the main thought and purpose of our lives. If we would all do our duty in this respect, how quickly would the third angel’s message go to the world. Many souls that are now sleeping in darkness would receive the message of salvation, and be saved. Shall we not arouse, and sense our responsibilities before God, and go to work sowing the seeds of truth to the best of our ability?
There are many ways of doing this work, and the Lord will impress us in regard to what we ought to do if we will consecrate ourselves wholly to him and his service.
WE are to do whatever comes to our hand, and do it with our might. By doing small things to the best of our ability, we gain an experience which fits us for broader fields of usefulness.
Carrying the printed page from house to house is one of the best ways of sowing the seeds of truth; and thousands of souls will be saved by this kind of work. A large number are now rejoicing in the truth which was brought to them in this manner. May the Lord stir up his people to do the work that he has given them to do. S. C. OSBORNE.

Question Corner
1. What real harm is there in an agent's carrying a side line of pencils, combs, looking-glasses, wall maps, and mottoes for helps?
Much harm is likely to result. Such light trifles which peddlers usually carry, lower the tone of an agent’s work. Think of a man, with his heart full of a great message for the people, going through a grand book like “Great Controversy” or “The Desire of Ages,” and then closing his effort for that family by trying to sell mottoes, a looking-glass, a comb, and a lead pencil! Such an anticlimax surely would not leave a powerful impression for good.
I know of a tract society that now has in stock five hundred fiddle strings. These were provided as helps! It is difficult to conceive how a child of God, who has consecrated his all to the blessed work of soul saving, can permit his conceptions to drop to such a level. In several conferences serious inroads have been made upon our canvassing work by the introduction of wall mottoes as helps. These are now being introduced in some places; and I want to make an appeal to all our agents to shun these side lines which entangle our work, and do much harm.
2. Should agents sell books which are being published for private gain, and are not sold through the regular channel?
Each agent must decide this question for himself. It is the opinion of the writer that agents who wish to build up the cause of God in the earth would do well to take a loyal position on this question, and work for those books which are approved by the denomination, and issued through the regular channel of our publishing houses and tract societies. I would not for one moment consider the flattering offers of any outside publishing house or private individual.
3. Is it a good plan to leave books on credit?
No, it is not. Many a good agent has wrecked his prospects by doing this. Please note the following suggestions:—
(a) *As a general rule the agent should keep his books in his possession until he has the pay for them. They are worth to him what they cost while he has them. If they are out on credit, he does not know what they are worth to him—probably very little.
(b) *The full price of the book should be collected on delivery when possible, but it is well to leave a book if enough can be collected to pay its cost; for if the remainder is not collected, the loss will not be greater than it would have been if the order had been lost, and although the agent has no profit, the family has the book.
(c) *In a special case when it seems clear that a book should be left on credit, the agent should provide for the payment of the book to his society, thus taking the risk of loss upon himself.
(d) *Tact, perseverance, and firm confidence in God will do much toward making our deliveries a success in every way.

Just Where Thou Art
Just where thou art, lift up thy voice,
And sing the song that stirs thy heart;
Reach forth thy strong and eager hand
To lift, to save — just where thou art.
Just where thou standest, light thy
lamp —
'Tis dark to others as to thee;
Their ways are hedged by unseen thorns,
Their burdens fret as thine fret thee.
Out yonder, in the broad, full glare
Of many lamps, thine own might pale;
And thy sweet song amid the roar
Of many voices slowly fail;
While these thy kindred wandered on
Uncheered, unlighted, to the end.
Near to thy hand thy mission lies,
Wherever sad hearts need a friend.

—The native chiefs in Rhodesia have promised to destroy all the dogs in that country excepting special favorites, on account of an outbreak of rabies, the nature of this disease having been explained to them by the whites. From 60,000 to 80,000 canines will be put to death.
—An expedition which has recently returned from an exploring trip in the interior of Labrador, reports the discovery of an unknown river and seven large lakes, one of the latter being about forty miles in length. The river has its source in an elevated tract of country west of Nain Bay.
—The revolution in Colombia is attended with almost daily fighting, in which the insurgents appear to have the advantage. The town of Culebra, on the line of the railway between Colon and Panama, has been captured by the insurgents, and an attack on Panama is expected soon.
—The army and navy have been playing at war along the shores of Long Island Sound, the navy seeking to land a force and capture or bombard some of the cities and towns, and the army to prevent any successful attack. There has been much maneuvering and great expenditure of energy, with the result that both sides claim a great victory.
—Paul Kruger, the ex-chief of the Transvaal, is writing an autobiography which is to be completed and published in Europe and the United States by the middle of November. The book will be of particular interest on account of the revelation it will give of “inside” facts relating to the late Boer war. The volume will contain about 100,000 words.
—An engineer on a Chicago & Northwestern Railway train running through Evanston, Ill., early Monday morning, being suddenly seized with an impression that there was some obstruction on the track, brought his train to a stop, the investigation which followed disclosing a man lying between the rails only a foot or two in front of the engine. He was revived, and explained that he had been taken sick and had fallen in a faint while crossing the railway track.

—The island of Bermeja, in the Gulf of Mexico, has suddenly disappeared, according to a report brought by a French admiral commanding a French naval division in the Atlantic. No reefs have been found on the spot formerly occupied by the island.
—A cablegram from Calcutta, India, reports an earthquake which was felt over the whole of the alluvial basin of Assam and Chittagong. Astrologers in that country prophesy that a great convulsion will occur there shortly, and the inhabitants are in great fear.
—Recently 10,000 native soldiers of Borneo were sent against the “head hunters” in the interior of that island, who were to be punished for their depredations. Cholera broke out as soon as the expedition was under way, and such was the fury of the epidemic that only 1,000 men of the expedition returned alive to their homes. The head hunters were not seriously disturbed.
—A Haytian insurgent gunboat was sunk by a German gunboat in Gonaives harbor, Hayti, September 7, in retaliation for the boarding of a German merchantman by the insurgent commander three days before. The incident, it is said, is likely to lead to a European demand for a protectorate over Hayti by the United States, and further, to a demand that the United States assume a “protectorate” over all the Central American republics in order to put an end to the chronic state of revolution which is characteristic of those countries.
—The almost complete collapse of the cycling “fad” in this country is a subject of considerable comment at this time, following the announcement of the failure of the American Bicycle Company in New York City. According to statements made by dealers, sales of bicycles have fallen off eighty per cent or more in the last three years. The League of American Wheelmen, which a few years ago was an organization reckoned with by politicians on account of its power and influence, has shrunk to wholly insignificant dimensions. Bicycle clubs all over the country have been disbanded; and the club houses sold. The cause of the bicycle’s decline is not clearly defined even in the minds of people who have abandoned it.22
—For about thirty miles off the coast of Maryland the surface of the Atlantic was observed on September 9 to be covered with a thick red coating, appearing when closely examined to be a sort of dust, presumably from some one of the West Indian volcanoes which have been in recent eruption.
—La Soufrière, the St. Vincent volcano, has been in active eruption since September 5, and the topography of the country surrounding it has been completely altered. The Rabacca River has been converted into a stream of fire a quarter of a mile in width. There has been an extension of land seaward, and the summit of the mountain has been perceptibly lowered. New ridges and valleys are visible where none were in existence last month. Great crops of arrowroot and cocoa have been ruined.
—There seems to be a general revival of volcanic activity in all parts of the globe. The news now comes that Stromboli, situated on an island in the Mediterranean, which has for centuries been in a state of mild eruption maintained with unvarying regularity, has broken out into violent activity, throwing up great columns of fire and torrents of stones and dust, enshrouding the island with a pall of darkness. Signs of renewed activity in the crater of Vesuvius were observed at Naples, September 7. In the Hawaiian Islands the great crater of Kilauea has burst into activity, following severe earthquake shocks at Hilo. A lake of molten lava has formed in the crater, and is reported to be rapidly rising, being at last reports within six hundred feet of the top. This outbreak is not in the main crater of Kilauea, but the natives predict that a great eruption will occur in the main crater shortly. The volcanoes of Central America are unusually active.
What Some Ministers Say of “Christ’s Object Lessons”
“CHRIST’S OBJECT LESSONS” is a revelation of the divine in and by nature. The reader is directed to look up from nature to nature’s God. The writer’s marvelous power of exposition in explaining the parables of Christ makes the book both instructive and morally beneficial. It is the only work I know of treating exclusively on the parables, and I regard it one of the best books in my library.
CYRUS SIMMONS,
Knoxville, Tenn.
“CHRIST’S OBJECT LESSONS” is a book that teaches Christianity in a broad sense. It teaches no definite religion. As such it may be read by any one with benefit. Wishing it every success for the good it may do, I am respectfully,
W. H. STEVENS,
Pastor Catholic Church,
Des Moines, Iowa.
The reading public is always eager to learn more of the Master, to see more clearly into his mission, and to gain a more comprehensive view of his teachings. When a book breathes into our lives new inspirations, awakens dormant powers, and enlarges our sphere of spiritual apprehension, it becomes both a companion and a light. Such indeed is “Christ’s Object Lessons.” It is an elucidation of the teachings of Christ, carried out in a masterly way.
Personally, I have got more pleasure from this little volume than from any other book for six months, and feel that I can honestly recommend the book to any one.
D. E. MURRAY,
Pastor M. E. Church,
Iroquois, S. D.
He who puts a good book into a home is a benefactor and a helper to the race. “Christ’s Object Lessons,” by Ellen G. White, is a good book, and will be a blessing to the homes of those who read and practice its precepts.
JAY W. SOMERVILLE,
Pastor Central M. E. Church,
Oskaloosa, Iowa.
An aged sister in Chicago has sold twenty-five copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons.”
Danger in not Rejoicing and Offering
By J. C. ROGERS
How easy it is for God to give! It is not less easy for him to take away. I have had some experience in this. Not long ago when the call came for the large offering for Christiania, I vowed in my heart to give a certain amount. On the Sabbath of taking up this offering I was at a little church among the Indians. Inquiring for the reading, and not finding it, I quieted my conscience with the thought that this is considered a mission field, and the call does not apply here. This excuse did not hold good, for the reading was afterward found. “My offering can be put in at the next place,” I thought. But it was deferred. Soon after this, I awoke one morning and found the mainspring of my watch broken. A new one cost the exact amount of my vow. That set me to thinking, “That vow shall be paid,” my heart said. But it was deferred again.
Afterward, passing hurriedly through a city park, I thought of a copy of the Signs of the Times in my pocket, and sat down for a few moments, hoping to hand the paper to some needy soul. In removing the paper my purse came with it, and fell unnoticed to the ground. The paper was given away, but for three days vain search was made for the purse. This set me to thinking more. Fifteen dollars was gone; how could that vow and others, too, now be paid? Humbly I told God all about my vows and purse. My efforts and inventions to find the purse were exhausted. Walking along the street one morning, a boy called to stop me. “Did you lose anything in the park?” he asked. In half an hour all was safely returned. Other people, known to be less honest, sat in the park nearer the purse than the boy who kept it for me. Of course God was caring for his own; for in the steward’s heart all was devoted to the Lord. Three days gives a man time to think of many neglected duties and wasted farthings. Today those vows are paid.
“When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou owest.”
“Ye have sown much, and bring in little. . . . Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.” Read Haggai 1:2-11.
God has a house going up to-day, of living stones; character is going into the structure. It takes offerings to find and develop character. Now is the time your offerings are needed. It is not safe to defer giving, lest the Lord blow upon the work of your hands, and it come to little. What mean your rich harvests and good prices, if not that God is giving to you that you may give to his glorious work in the earth? Here is God’s object lesson seen in grain and fruit. “Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.” Looking at the fields of gold, the orchards of purple and scarlet, let joy fill all hearts that they betoken the extending of the gospel of the kingdom and the filling of the world with the fruits of his Spirit.
Then “bring an offering, and come into his courts. . . . Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad.”

At our recent camp meeting held in Barre, Brother F. M. Dana was elected treasurer of both conference and tract society, hence all money for every department of the work should be sent to him, at 190 N. Winooski Ave., Burlington, Vt. Let those sending money be sure to state very plainly to what fund it is to be applied.
Just now there comes to us an urgent plea for donations on the material fund for “Christ’s Object Lessons.” If any one in the State can send in at once a donation to this fund, it will be greatly appreciated.

Advance Arrangements Required
Notice!
THE undersigned wish to state to the public that it is absolutely necessary that those who are planning to come to the Sanitarium or the Medical Missionary College should write in advance of coming, and make necessary arrangements. It is not sufficient simply to write, giving notice of coming, but arrangements should actually be made with those in charge of the work. It has for several years been customary for those who had friends at the Sanitarium to write and notify their friends of their coming. Such a notice is not adequate, and the management of the institution desire to say that, after this date, they cannot receive any with the exception of those with whom they have previously corresponded. SANITARIUM.
