I have been a constant reader of the progress of the message in its columns ever since I came into the light of present truth.

I would indeed feel almost defeated and cast down were it not for the new energy I receive from its columns. WILLIAM S. ROSE, JR.

The Marshaling of the Nations: Pamphlet Now in Swedish and Danish-Norwegian

“THE Marshaling of the Nations” is still being ordered by the fifties and the hundreds. More than thirty thousand copies have already been issued in English; and now it is ready in the Swedish and Danish-Norwegian languages. It is present truth in whatever languages it may be made to appear. Let the Scandinavians everywhere have the opportunity to read it. The China entanglement of the Powers will continue forever; and “The Marshaling of the Nations” tells the secret of it, even unto the end. Thus the pamphlet will never be out of date; and at its low price of ten cents can readily be sold by anybody, anywhere that the people can have an opportunity to see it, with its clear and telling colored map. Give them an opportunity.

CONTRACTS have been made for connecting all the Hawaiian Islands by the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy.

Correction Regarding Poem Attributed to Asa Smith

By Editor

BROTHER ASA SMITH, of Battle Creek College, writes to us that the poem on the first page of the REVIEW of September 4 was not written by him. Some mistake has therefore been made in this Office. Is there another Asa Smith, who did write it, so that our mistake is in crediting it to the one at Battle Creek College? Or was it not written by any Asa Smith? Will the person who did write the poem, or who sent it to us, please tell us, so that we can make the proper correction?

IN an article in the Independent, September 13, Dr. Max Nordau says that “in countries where, thirty or forty years ago, the Jew had no civil disqualifications, the laws granting his civil rights are being repealed.” He says that this is “true of every European country where the Jew has even the pretense of civil liberties;” and that the situation of the Jews “to-day is worse than at any time within our memory.”

Pension Payments Consume One Fourth of Federal Revenue

Last year one fourth of the entire revenue of the United States government was paid out in pensions.

Post-Office Address of Sister L. Flora Plummer

THE permanent post-office address of Sister L. Flora Plummer is now 1502 Third Ave., South, Minneapolis, Minn. All communications concerning the work of the Missionary Reading Circle should be addressed to her there.

Marquis Ito on China's Eastern Crisis

MARQUIS ITO, of Japan, said to be “probably the best-informed man alive, on Eastern politics,” has said: “The present is the greatest crisis in the history of China; and all preceding Eastern questions sink into insignificance beside it.”

China's Population Exceeds Combined Western Powers and Japan

THE population of China is greater by several millions than that of Russia, the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Japan, and Italy, combined. It is therefore now argued that the Powers must, in self-defense, insure the policing of China in respective “spheres of influence.”

Gravitation and the Power of God

“What is the cause of the attraction of gravitation” is one of “the two most insoluble questions in physics.” “Late careful investigation of the nature of gravitation has served only to show that it yet defies all investigation.” All this is simply because of the leaving out of God and his word. Gravitation is the power of God; and the cause of it is God.

Atoms Broken Into Fragments Called Ions

LATE experiments have succeeded in breaking up into a thousand fragments what has been supposed to be the ultimate atom. Each of these fragments is called an ion. So, unless the term “atom” be still carried back to express the thought of the smallest possibly conceivable body, the new word “ion” will have to be permanently adopted to express that thought.

Powderly on What Americans Consider Fair Wages

In an interview in Chicago, September 15, Terence V. Powderly, formerly grand master of the Knights of Labor, and now United States Commissioner of Immigration, speaking of fair wages for work, said: “What an American thinks fair is what he can get. It is in the air. The spirit infects not only the older Americans, but all who come here.” That is the truth; and being stated on such authority puts it beyond all question as the truth. And from that it follows that whatever means that needs to be employed to get what he can, is counted honest and just. Mr. Powderly further remarked that “this accounts for much of our progress.” And that is true: it is the very spirit of the latest steps in “our progress.”

Salmon P. Chase's Early Days as a Laborer

OF the early days of Salmon P. Chase, of President Lincoln’s cabinet, and afterward chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, a correspondent of the Christian Advocate, August 2, says: “My father built the first brick house in Columbus, Ohio, with his own hands; Salmon P. Chase was his hod-carrier, and hauled the brick and lime in an ox-cart. He wore a flax togam and went barefoot.”

THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS.

By P. T. Magan

At an early morning meeting on the Ionia (Mich.) camp-ground, the subject of the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS was presented. There was a most hearty response from the brethren and sisters assembled. In round numbers, twelve hundred dollars ($1200) in money and pledges was contributed to the big fund, and about seven hundred copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” were subscribed for. A considerable portion of the State had already been canvassed for the book, and a number of orders, approximately six hundred, previously secured, which accounts for the comparatively small showing of subscriptions for the book at the camp-ground. We feel deeply thankful for this help, and trust that God will bless the kind givers.

P. T. MAGAN.

MICHIGAN, ATTENTION!

OUR brethren and sisters who made pledges at the Ionia camp-meeting to the big fund for the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS will please take notice that the money for these pledges, when due, should be sent to Brother A. G. Adams, treasurer of the General Conference, Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.

THERE ARE FIVE TUESDAYS

By Editor

in October, this year; and we find, by examining our REVIEW mailing list, that subscriptions will expire on every Tuesday of the month. Here are the names of five subscribers (taken at random from the list) whose subscriptions expire on the 1st, 9th, 16th, 23d, and 30th of October, respectively:—

L W White — 1st T B Buckner — 9th E M Whittemore — 16th L D Santee — 23d E A Baker — 30th

If your subscription to the REVIEW expires in October, 1900, the yellow label on your latest paper received, will show you on which Tuesday it expires. While renewing your own subscription, will you not also send us one or two new subscriptions, even though for only two months, at 25 cents, or four months, at 50 cents? Try to do so.

REVIEW AND HERALD.

IN THE REVIEW OF OCTOBER 2

By Editor

We shall begin the publication of a series of articles on “The Church.” We can promise to all that these articles will be of great value to every reader. Be sure that your subscription is not allowed to expire; for you simply can not afford to lose these excellent articles.

ALSO THE MISSIONARY READING CIRCLE

Will begin its work again the second week in October. The first lesson will be printed in the REVIEW of October 2. Sister Plummer will tell you about it next week. The studies are to be in the book of Revelation. This is another good reason why you should not let your subscription expire at any time in the next six months.
