REMOVAL

By H. A. St. John

It is not very agreeable to move away from a pleasant home; to pack up one's effects, and leave tried friends, dear relatives, and warm-hearted brethren and sisters; but duty sometimes makes this necessary in this world of sin and sorrow. An experience of this character, recently had by the writer, has had a tendency to give an increased longing for the coming of the blessed Redeemer, and the gathering together into one vast host all the good of every age.

I think of that removal only a little in the future, when all the righteous shall remove from this world of sorrow, sin, death, disappointments, and separation, to a home that is free from all sources of sorrow or tears, where sin and death cannot enter, and which is the perfection of beauty. And what a heavenly train will come to receive us! We shall not ride over rough and dangerous roads, with selfish, designing men at every turn, but we shall be attended by unselfish, lovely angels that excel in strength, an innumerable company, with the adorable Redeemer at their head, on a living chariot of surpassing glory.

And then an exorbitant price will not be charged for a passage to the new home, but we shall have a free ride, and an abundant entrance into the eternal city, the Holy Zion, “the perfection of beauty.” Nor will it be necessary to box up our household goods to take with us; for however nice we may have thought them here, they would greatly mar the beauty of our heavenly home. The richest of these would not shine in the courts of glory. Nor will they be at all needed there; for our blessed Jesus has gone to prepare a place for his people. The heavenly mansions will be all furnished and all ready for their reception. Glorious day, soon to dawn! Reader, are you preparing for that removal? H. A. St. John.

THE HEALTH INSTITUTE.

The editor of the Advent Christian Times, of Chicago, whose companion spent a short season at the Health Institute in this city, gives the following cordial notice of the institution in his paper of Jan. 19, 1876:—

“The Health Institute at Battle Creek is owned by the Seventh-day Adventists and is an excellent institution of its kind, having for its object the real benefit of all who may become its inmates. The physicians, both lady and gentlemen, have their work at heart, and are exceedingly kind and thoughtful of the welfare of their patients. Our companion has received much benefit from her stay among them, for which we thank the Lord and the instruments which he has deigned to bless.”

ANOTHER GERMAN TRACT.

By Uriah Smith

A TRANSLATION of the tract on the second coming of Christ, 32 pages, is now ready. This has been subjected to very careful comparison with the original, and critical proof-reading by professors of German in Chicago and Toledo, and pronounced correct. The German tracts are not appearing very rapidly, on account of the special pains that are taken to have them correct. But, no providence preventing, there will soon be a good variety of our works in the German language. These tracts are furnished at the rate of six pages for one cent. U. S.

NEW QUESTION BOOK.

By Editor

THE second book of Progressive Bible Lessons for youth is now ready. This takes the Bible student through all the great leading subjects of our faith, to the present time, in a manner similar to that of the first book. This will supply a long-felt want, and we need do no more than announce that it is now ready. Price 50c, post paid.

THE HOUSEHOLD MANUAL.

By J. H. WAGGONER

We have just enjoyed the privilege of examining the Household Manual, a book of 162 pages, published at the Office of the HEALTH REFORMER, Battle Creek, Mich. It is what its name indicates, and has a better claim to that title than any other work which we have seen. In the first 124 pages the editor has presented in a clear manner, easy to be understood and applied, everything which it seems necessary to know for the proper management of the household. It has been said:—

“This is an age of telegraphic speed; Who writes too long shall find no one to read.”

The editor has well appreciated this truth, and we are led to wonder as we look that so much valuable matter has been compressed into so small a space.

It has been a standing complaint against the works of some writers on hygiene that they were not practical. In some cases the remarks are extended to such length that the common householder loses the direction under an accumulation of words. Such complaints will never be raised against the Household Manual.

Following this compend of all that is useful in the household are 60 pages by Dr. Trall on the Health and Diseases of Women, which every woman should read with care. And following this is an Essay on Tobacco-Using, by Dr. Trall, which everybody should read.

Altogether, we feel safe in recommending this Manual as the very best book in the market, on the subjects of which it treats.

MAINE T. & M. SOCIETY.

By J. B. Goodrich

We wish to call the attention of the members of the Maine Tract Society to the appointment for the next Tract Society meeting, March 11, 12. We give the appointment in season, so that each member can have ample time to send in his report; and we hope no one will ask to be excused. There is no reason why every member should not hand in a report. If you have done nothing during the last quarter, hand in a blank report.

Every one can do something. We must be workers with the Lord if we expect the crown of life. How can we who believe in the third angel's message content ourselves while doing next to nothing to benefit others? We should live to do others good. We should have more of the true missionary spirit. We should go out after others, and labor earnestly for their salvation.

God has placed in our hands a solemn message, and will he say to us, “Well done!” if we do nothing? Our works will tell just how much we love the present truth. We can all do something if we will; and may the Lord help us to have a mind to work.

Do not forget to send in your reports two weeks before the meeting. J. B. GOODRICH.

Linneus, Aroostook Co., Me.

ATTENTION, CHURCH CLERKS.

By H. A. St. John

Minister. Did you clip the article on the “Duties of Church Clerks,” from the REVIEW, and paste it in the Clerk’s book?

Church Clerk. No.

Minister. Why not?

Church Clerk. Because I understand my duties well enough without it.

Minister. Well, your successors may not be so competent as you are. They may need some simple rules for their instruction, and would it not be a true missionary act on your part to thus preserve them for the guidance of others?

Church Clerk. Yes, you are right; I will paste them in. H. A. St. John.
