Fifty People Wanted

who will each pay for twenty shares of stock in the Southern Publishing Association; this fund to be used in purchasing stock of paper and machinery equipment, so that this office may do the work for which it was established. The shares are five dollars each, and entitle the holder to one vote for each share at all stockholder’s meetings. No financial benefit will accrue to any one holding stock in this association, as the stock is non-dividend paying.

We wish to acknowledge receipt of the money that has been paid in for stock, and the donations which have come to us during the past few weeks. Without these funds we would have been obliged to stop the work entirely; but we are thankful that God has impressed hearts to send means so that we are enabled to go forward with the work on the building. Enough has come in each week to meet all our expenses, and pay for the material purchased. Considerable work yet remains to be done on the building, as only a part of the windows are in, and only a portion of the partitions have been set. The doors will also need to be provided, and a small elevator installed, and some of the rooms will have to be sheeted inside. We shall not undertake to plaster any part of the building, but will use building paper and sheeting to keep out the cold.

Our presses have been in operation a part of the time while the building has been in the course of construction. Work in other departments has also been carried on as the circumstances would permit. The building is now so far advanced that the machinery can be kept in operation continuously; but to do this we must have a stock of paper, and some additional machinery with which to turn out the work. It is for that purpose that this appeal is made, and we trust that all may sense the unfavorable circumstances under which we are laboring, and respond as the Lord may impress their hearts. If there are those who cannot take twenty shares, and wish to assist in this work, let such subscribe for the amount of stock they are able to take, and the funds will be used to help forward the work yet to be done on the building.

We are trying to carry forward the work in the most economical manner possible, and we have evidences of the Lord’s approval of what has been accomplished. We are doing the best we can, brethren, with the means at our disposal, and we have confidence that the Lord will impress those who are able, to help at this time by uniting with us in our effort to carry out His instructions respecting this work.

The following-named persons have each subscribed for twenty shares of stock in the association:— George B. Thomson, Star Prairie, Wis. Mrs. Carrie Thompson, Lacon, Ill. Address all communications to the Southern Publishing Association, 1025-27 Jefferson St., Nashville, Tenn.

The Advocate.

By Editor

THE combined August and September issue of the Advocate of Christian Education will appear the last of this month. Those who have missed the journal will find an explanation for the delay in the fact that with the selling of Battle Creek College, the printing plant had to be moved. Temporary quarters have been found in Berrien Springs, where the publishing work will be carried forward until a commodious place is provided in one of the new buildings on the college farm.

The coming issue will be filled with interesting matter, much space being devoted to discussions of topics presented at the Educational Conference held last July. This is all live matter, for which there have been many calls.

Brethren A. G. Daniells, W. A. Spicer, A. T. Jones, F. W. Field, E. S. Ballenger, W. E. Howell, and others took an active part in the Conference. The subjects presented touched questions of vital importance to every person in the denomination. No Seventh-day Adventist school-teacher can afford to miss this issue. If you are a teacher, mention this fact when writing for a copy. See that you and your friends are supplied.

Camp-Meeting for Northwestern Wisconsin.

By Wm. Covert

THE camp-meeting for northwestern Wisconsin this year is to be held at Hillsdale, Barron Co., September 16-23. This place was selected because of a large interest which exists there at the present time, a tent-meeting being in progress by Elders Scott and Locken. The whole country is stirred by the truth presented, and a number have already accepted the faith. For several years we have been holding a camp-meeting somewhere in the northwestern part of the State, and Elder Scott, being the superintendent of the district, made a special request for it to be at Hillsdale this fall because of the interest now at that place.

Tents will be upon the ground for rent to those who desire them. These tents give good protection, and will be let at reasonable rates. The railroad station for Hillsdale is on the Soo Line at Barron. Those coming to the meeting will do well to provide plenty of bedding and warm clothes for themselves because of the lateness of the season. All in that part of the State are specially requested to attend the meeting. We would also extend a cordial invitation to any one in adjacent Conferences who may see this notice. Elder Thurston expects to be with us, and the gracious promise of our Saviour ever remains the same; for He says, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”

Obituaries

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.

Carey.—Aug. 26, 1901, Sister Mary Carey, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was laid to rest. She died with cancer of the stomach, being 83 years, 9 months, and 5 days of age. Services were conducted by the writer. W. F. Schwartz.

Grant.—Died at Oswego, Kan., Sept. 1, 1901, of jaundice and other complications, Graves A. W. Grant, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. Brother Grant accepted the truths of the Third Angel’s Message about forty years ago, and has been a faithful member ever since. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13–18. D. H. Oberholtzer.

Shaffner.—Sister Margaret Shaffner, a native of Ohio, fell asleep in Jesus at Santa Barbara, Cal., Aug. 22, 1901. Sister Shaffner stood firm in the faith of the Third Angel’s Message for over thirty years, and at the time of her death was a member of the church at Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. H. L. Rawson.

Morton.—Died at his home in Battle Creek, Aug. 27, 1901, of consumption, John D. Morton, aged 69 years. He had been confined to his bed since the first of March. He was born in New York State, and had lived in Battle Creek twenty-one years. He accepted the Third Angel’s Message in 1854, and for many years held a ministerial license. He died, as he lived, a devout Christian, in the blessed hope of a glorious immortality when Jesus comes to call His saints from the enemy’s land. “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.” He leaves a wife and daughter, two brothers, and two sisters to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, speaking from 1 Thess. 4:18. J. L. Prescott.

Lee, Tucker.—Guy Lee, son of B. H. and Lenna Lee, in the seventeenth year of his age, and Martin Tucker, son of W. H. and Ellen Tucker, in the thirteenth year of his age, were drowned August 13, while bathing in the Willamette River, Oregon. When two younger boys, who accompanied them, had come out of the water, it was noticed that Martin was endangered by cramp. Guy went to rescue him, and was seized by him, and both sank together, there being no efficient help present. Their sudden death produces a severe shock not only in their respective families, but in the community at large. Funeral services, conducted by the writer, were held for both in the presence of a large and sympathizing congregation. They were buried side by side, there to await the resurrection call. They were promising and useful boys, and were endeared to all who knew them. H. W. Babcock.

Woof.—Died of heart failure, at the St. Helena Sanitarium, Aug. 22, 1901, John Woof, aged 70 years, 4 months, 17 days. The deceased was born in Devonshire, England; gave his heart to the Lord in Canada, at the age of seventeen, uniting with the M. E. Church; lived in Australia from 1852-66; accepted present truth in Oakland, Cal., in 1878. He was connected with the Pacific Press as carpenter, fireman, and engineer for twenty-two years. He was the father of three sons and two daughters, one of each still living. He was married to Mrs. Harrison in 1883. She still lives, but is quite low, and a great sufferer from accident and disease. Brother Woof was a humble, self-sacrificing man, and rests in bright hope. Memorial services were held in Oakland, September 1, at which a number of his fellow workers testified their appreciation and regret. M. C. W.

“God has ordained the canvassing work as a means of presenting before the people the light contained in our books,” and as this work is entered into, it is important that a thorough knowledge of true methods of thus reaching the world should be obtained.

The Abiding Spirit.

By Mrs. S. M. I. Henry

By Mrs. S. M. I. Henry,

“Deals with the presence, power, and ministry of the Holy Spirit, as manifested in the most common material things, and as needed for the performance of the most simple duties. It argues the constant abiding of the one only Spirit as the condition of existence, and a healthy and successful life as dependent on the intelligent recognition of this presence, and on the proper adjustment of everything, physical and mental, to this power. It is safe to say that the larger proportion of common religious perplexities are touched upon in this book, and the way opened for light upon their darkness.” — The Union Signal.

A SCHOOL WITHOUT BOOKS.

By Martha Watrous Stearns

By Martha Watrous Stearns.

“Tells you how to have a school without a book. It gives the teacher models from Mother Nature’s own Geometry—the crystals—and tells him how to study them, and how by studying them he can use his head, eyes, and hands in making a beautiful, naturally graded series of 32 useful, attractive articles in pasteboard and straw, and it tells him how to weave common sense into all he does. It takes up the matter of child education from an entirely new standpoint—the at-home method.”—Normal Instructor.

Growth of Sunday Alliances and Adventist Vigilance

The secretary of the Lord’s Day Alliance of Ontario reports that the number of branch alliances has increased, during the past year, from seventy-five to one hundred and forty-five. In many parts of the United States there is a like activity on the part of the Sunday-law forces. By the way, what has become of the enthusiasm felt and manifested by Seventh-day Adventists in this line of work ten or twelve years ago, when the coming crisis was so much further away than it is now? Were we misguided enthusiasts then? or are we slumbering sentinels to-day?

An Entering Wedge.

By B.

It is desired to enlist the hearty co-operation of every Seventh-day Adventist in the work of circulating that new work, “The Marvel of Nations.” Those who may have supposed that the book contains merely a long exaltation of the United States above all other nations, will be pleased to learn that the sole object of the same is to teach present truth. Among some of the fundamental principles of Seventh-day Adventism propounded in its pages, are the following:—

The position of prophecy in the Scriptures.
How we may test fulfillment.
The marked fulfillment that falls upon our own country.
The symbol explained which presents it.
Evil principles working their way in this country.
Exposition of the Third Angel’s Message in full.
The truth concerning the Sabbath question.
Discussion of the immortality question.
Spiritualism.
Irrefutable evidence that Christ is soon coming, and that we are in the last days.
How the Church is travelling over the dark path of the Dark Ages, and forcing this nation into the same path.
Dastardly proceedings on the Sunday question.
Résumé of achievements of this age and country.
Constitutes a warning that leaves every one without excuse who does not heed it, and which will leave our skirts clear; for all who heed it will be saved.

In view of this, what better missionary work could you engage in than that of soliciting orders for this new, attractive, and truth-preaching work? May the publishers not hope for energetic work on the part of many readers of the REVIEW, in selling several large editions of “The Marvel of Nations”? Why should you not engage in this effort? B.

Skodsborg Sanatorium Reading and Collection

THE reading prepared in reference to the Skodsborg Sanatorium, to be read Sabbath, September 14, was presented in the Tabernacle by Prof. E. J. Hibbard. The collection taken up for that institution amounted to one hundred and seventy-one dollars.

Reading Circle Studies Begin in October

By Editor

Do not forget that the combined studies of the Reading Circle begin the second week in October, and that the basis of these studies will be found in the Missionary Magazine and the REVIEW AND HERALD. No text-book will be required. Now is the time to subscribe for the Missionary Magazine if you do not have it, and also urge your friends to provide themselves with these two papers, and be ready for the study. The price of the two combined is $2, or 50 cents for the Missionary Magazine, and $1.50 for the REVIEW AND HERALD. Order of your tract society, or order direct of the publishers.

Papal Costly Array and the Scarlet Woman

“AND the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls.” Thus John speaks of the scarlet woman of Rev. 17:4. Costly array and golden ornaments characterize that organization which claims to be the successor of the “poor fisherman of Galilee.” And now an exchange says:—

“The gold contained in the medals, vessels, chains, and other objects in the Vatican would make more gold coin than the whole of the present European circulation.”

Death of Elder Henry P. Holser

THE many friends of Elder Henry P. Holser, who has been for years an efficient laborer in the cause of present truth in this country and in Europe, will be pained to learn that he is now dead, having ended a long battle with consumption, Wednesday, September 11, at Cañon City, Colo. The funeral services were held the following Sabbath.

Why Not Settle It?

IT is trying to one's patience to witness the ebullition in public sentiment over the Sunday question. If Sunday is the Sabbath, settle it by the Bible, and keep it as such. If not, let the apparent perplexity and turmoil over the matter cease. A writer in a New England paper signing himself as T. C. R., mentions the following “startling things” that have recently taken place there in reference to the Sunday question:—

“Some startling things on the Sunday question have recently occurred in this ‘land of steady habits.’ A city judge has decided that a clean shave is as much a necessity on Sunday as a clean shirt; therefore a barber may keep open on Sunday. In Middletown, after the arrest of fruit dealers for Sunday opening, a compromise was reached whereby they are allowed to keep open certain hours, but not to expose their goods for sale on the sidewalk. And now the Hartford aldermen and common council have petitioned the legislature to permit the use of the city parks for non-professional ball playing on Sunday afternoons. The legislature refused—on technical grounds, however. Shade of Thomas Hooker, what are we coming to!”

Marvel of Nations Prospectus Well Received in Lincoln

A LINE from D. W. Reavis, in charge of the Circulating department of the Review and Herald, written from Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 12, 1901, says: “The prospectus of the new ‘Marvel of Nations’ takes well with the people here. We are having a good time. The work is coming up. How thankful I am for this fact!”

Minister Seeks Agency to Canvass for Marvel of Nations

ONE of our ministers in the West, soliciting an agency to canvass for “The Marvel of Nations,” and ordering a prospectus, writes:—

“I am perfectly delighted with the progress the message is making at this time, and I am anxious to help it on all I can. That is why I want to canvass for the book.”

President McKinley Dies From Assassin's Wounds

WILLIAM MCKINLEY, twenty-fifth President of the United States, died Saturday morning at half-past two o’clock, at the residence of the president of the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, from the effects of the bullet wounds given him a week before by the anarchist Czolgosz. At his death there is universal sorrow throughout the civilized world. No former President, not excepting Washington and Lincoln, ever during his term of office commanded so generally the respect and regard of the American people; and probably no death was ever before so universally mourned throughout the Anglo-Saxon world. President Roosevelt has proclaimed Thursday, September 19, a day of mourning and prayer throughout the United States. A week of mourning has been ordered at the court of King Edward VII.

Theodore Roosevelt Takes Oath as President

THEODORE ROOSEVELT, the successor to President McKinley, took the oath of office of President of the United States in the library of a residence in Buffalo, on Saturday afternoon, September 14, the oath being administered by Judge John R. Hazel, of the United States Circuit Court. To the members of the dead President’s Cabinet, most of whom were present, the new President immediately after the ceremony made this announcement: “In this hour of deep and terrible national bereavement, I wish to state that it shall be my intention and endeavor to continue absolutely unbroken the policy of President McKinley for the peace, prosperity, and honor of our beloved country.”
