South America

By N. Z. T.

BROTHER MAX TRUMMER, general agent on the east coast of South America, reports constantly increasing success on the part of the canvassers in his field. In his letter dated July 26 he says:—

“We have just closed another canvassers' institute. We were together ten days, and though there were only five of us, we had an enjoyable time. I like the one week or ten days' institute very much. There is no time lost, and the workers hold their enthusiasm better than for a longer period. I am now canvassing with the new workers in the field. Some time ago Brother Nicholas Hanson cheered us with a fine report. He secured thirty-two orders in one day for ‘Home and Health,’ Spanish; another day, in five hours, he took twenty-one orders; and before the week was out, he even took forty-three orders in one day, making a total of 122 orders taken in one week. Isn't that good? To our dear Lord and Master be all the praise.”

Selling Spanish Books in Texas

THE field agent of South Texas, Brother N. H. Conway, says: “It is wonderful how the Spanish work is opening up among the Spanish people of this field. Our workers who can not speak the language are doing well among them with Spanish ‘Home and Health.’ One young man fifteen years old took orders for over one hundred dollars’ worth of books in this field among the Mexicans during the first week he canvassed.”

Note and Comment

— The latest census returns credit Greater New York with 4,700,000 population, of which 1,634,000 belong to Brooklyn. The population of London is estimated at seven and one-half millions.

— Twenty-five indictments for murder in the first degree have been brought in by the special grand jury that has been investigating the lynching of Carl Etherington, a detective of the Anti-Saloon League, in Newark, Ohio.

— The census officials estimate the population of the United States as about 100,000,000, of whom about 90,000,000 are resident within the States.

— Just as the new Pennsylvania terminal in New York City is completed, and heralded as the largest building of the kind in the world, the New York Central announces its plans for a terminal twice as large, and to cost nearly twice as much. The plans include a channel two city blocks wide and half a mile long, on either side of which will be imposing office buildings.

— The smallest kingdom in Europe is Montenegro, by common consent of the powers elevated to the position of a kingdom within the last few weeks.

— An order has been issued by Health Officer Woodward, of the District of Columbia, excluding from the public schools for at least two weeks all children who have been exposed to infantile paralysis. This step is considered necessary to safeguard the health of the schoolchildren, in view of the prevalence of this malady.

— The cry of the increased cost of living echoes round the world. From Europe comes the report that the laboring classes of Germany find it impossible to buy meat; and in the south of Italy, once “the granary of the peninsula,” there has not been enough grain raised to supply even the farming classes.

— A number of warrants have been issued for the arrest of manufacturers of marshmallows in Philadelphia. The charge is made that large quantities of sulphuric acid are used in the manufacture of a cheap grade of these candies. The investigation leading to the arrests was caused by the illness of a number of children who had eaten cheap candy.

— Crime among the youth is on the increase. According to the author of “Criminality in Youth,” crimes committed by persons between 14 and 20 years of age quadrupled between 1826 and 1880. This increase is considered alarming; for it is a recognized fact that “the young delinquent is the most dangerous of criminals.” In whatever direction we look, we see evidences of the fulfilling of the sure word of prophecy.

— It is gravely reprinted, as an item of news, in a leading Washington daily, that recently “the phenomenon of the liquefaction of the blood of St. Januarius took place, after prayers lasting 55 minutes, in the presence of a great multitude. . . . Various attempts have been made to explain the alleged miracle. The argument, once brought forward, that there was no liquefaction, was abandoned a considerable time ago, the evidence for the liquefaction being overwhelming.” It is further stated that “the people interpret the rapidity of the liquefaction as proof that the peril from cholera is over.” By such “news” Rome is ever seeking to educate the reading classes.

— On August 29 the government of Japan formally took possession of Korea. Amnesty was granted to certain prisoners, and the taxes of the poorer people were forgiven. “Japan gave $8,500,000 to encourage industry, and to support education, hospitals, and work for the poor. Religious freedom was explicitly recognized. Tariff regulations were continued for ten years, and the Japanese laws regulating copyrights and patents were extended to Korea. Korea’s treaties with foreign nations were continued, and Japan’s treaties were extended to Korea as far as they apply. The name under which Korea is henceforth to be known is Cho-sen, an ancient name for the empire, of Chinese origin, meaning, probably, ‘the Land of Morning Calm.’” Though this annexation had been talked of for some time, it was not expected that it would take place so soon.

A Question Answered

By Editor

THE message to our cities is the paramount issue at the present time. Much space has been given the matter in the REVIEW, our conference papers, and in special readings. Our people are heartily in accord with the plans which are under way. Many of our ablest ministers and Bible workers are being assigned to these difficult posts. Does our duty as laymen end when we pray for these workers, and give of our means for their support? Are we to shift the entire burden on those at the front, and merely wish them Godspeed? Many will ask, What more can I do? We answer, Send an “able minister” yourself, one that has won hundreds to the truth—the Signs of the Times Weekly. There isn’t a shadow of a doubt that others will take their stand with us through reading the Present Truth series of the Signs, which begins November 1. Will some of your friends be among the number?

Get us a list of five or more names, and have the papers sent to your friends direct from the office of publication. They will cost but 65 cents each for the six months. Clubs of five or more to corps of workers in the cities, 62½ cents a copy for the series.

We call particular attention to one special feature connected with this series, as shown in the very striking cartoon by Mr. Maybell—the great black hand stretched out over the nations with its five restless, grasping fingers, like the tentacles of a devil-fish, which are gathering souls for destruction. These five digits of the hand are War, Greed, Apostasy, Spiritism, and Papacy or Tradition. There will be from three to five articles on each one of these, showing their use by Satan in these last days; and this setting forth of the evils which the world must face, is worth more than the whole series will cost.

This diagram gives only a partial list of contents for the six months, beginning November 1. Limited space will not admit of a more lengthy description, but suffice it to say that our people will not be disappointed in this Present Truth series, which the publishers confidently expect to make better than any former series.

Address your tract society, or Signs of the Times, Mountain View, Cal.

Cooking Oil and 45-pound cans Nut Butter can not apply on this offer. Half freight and three pounds with $5 shipments.

She is survived by six children and two sisters, who mourn their loss, but not without hope. Over two years ago Sister Davies accepted the message, and was baptized at the Oil City camp-meeting.

On Aug. 30, 1894, the husband and father died. Shortly after the home was thus broken up, she came with her children to Oregon. She always worked hard to make a little home, and keep her children with her. She was a firm believer in the third angel's message, and loved it until her death, which occurred at Cottage Grove, Ore., June 14, 1910. Two children, two sisters, two brothers, and her father and mother are left to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer, from Rev. 14:13-16. J. MARK COMER.

She is survived by three sisters and two brothers. Sister Hooke lived and died on the old homestead near Port Republic, Va. With two sisters, she accepted the third angel's message at a tent effort conducted at Port Republic twenty-five years ago. Although passing through many trials and afflictions, she faithfully lived the message for this time, taking a deep interest in its onward progress, and contributing to its support as she was able. The funeral services, held in the Methodist Episcopal church at Port Republic, were conducted by the writer; and we laid her to rest in the family graveyard near the old homestead, trusting that when the Life-giver shall appear, she will come forth to life eternal.

An Offer for Physiologic Therapeutics

On his way to attend a medical meeting in Boston, Dr. H. R. Harrower recently spent a few days in Washington. We were glad to hear of the good progress he is making in publishing the American Journal of Physiologic Therapeutics (72 East Madison St., Chicago), a practical review of the principles and progress of non-drug methods. The journal is receiving the co-operation of some of the leading medical men of the country, and must do good service in a field of effort that we have a special interest in. While it is a journal for the profession, and the editor must handle the business and financial end himself, Dr. Harrower, who is a Seventh-day Adventist, and interested in all our work, wishes to make his enterprise a help to our medical missionary nurses and physicians. He has put his suggestion into writing, so that we can pass it on, as follows:—

The price of the journal is $1 a year (six issues); foreign postage, 25 cents extra. All Adventist physicians and medical workers may have their initial subscription extended six months free; i. e., eighteen months for a dollar. Any Adventist medical worker who desires to receive the journal, and can not well pay for it, may receive it at my expense. For my own sake, however, I would much prefer such to secure one paid-up subscription from somebody else. Every Adventist medical missionary in foreign lands may receive Physiologic Therapeutics absolutely without charge, save only for postage—25 cents a year; and even this will be remitted if a subscription from another at the regular rate is secured and sent in with the request for a complimentary subscription.

Fourth Sabbath Home Missionary Service

By A. J. S. Bourdeau

To Be Held October 22

As announced in the REVIEW of September 15, the General Conference Committee passed the following recommendation during its spring council:

“That a general missionary service be held in all the churches on the fourth Sabbath of each month:—

“(a) Under the direction of the church missionary committee.”

“(b) The co-operative effort of adults and Missionary Volunteers.”

“(c) Based upon the monthly program outlined in the Missionary and Publishing department of the REVIEW.”

“(d) Regular collection of church in charge of the missionary secretary (librarian), to be used for home tract and missionary work.”

It is planned to hold the first of these services in all the churches and companies of believers on Sabbath, October 22. In order to give the church officers in all the conferences ample time to prepare for this occasion, the suggestive program for this missionary meeting will appear in the Missionary and Publishing department of the next REVIEW, October 6.

In resuming our monthly home missionary church services, the first step naturally will be to complete the organization of the tract and missionary society in each church and company. To facilitate this work of organizing, the Missionary and Publishing Department of the General Conference has issued Home Missionary Leaflet No. 3, entitled “Home Tract and Missionary Work: Its Organization and Relation to the Individual, the Home, the Church, and Our Conferences.” Enough copies have been issued to supply all our ministers, missionary workers, church officers, and isolated Sabbath-keepers.

Only a short time now remains until the opening of the Harvest Ingathering campaign. The better we are organized, the more effective will be our work in this great and worthy effort. For leaflets and further particulars, address your conference tract society office. Remember the date of the meeting, Sabbath, October 22.

A. J. S. BOURDEAU,

Missionary Secretary.
