Medical Missionary Council of the N. P. Union Conference
By W. A. R.
Held at Portland, Ore., July 21-24, 1907
THE time of the first meeting was taken up in receiving reports from various institutions in the North Pacific Union Conference. Dr. Rossiter first reported from North Yakima. He gave a history of the incorporation of that work. He is not conducting a training-school. He says the work is prospering, and the patronage is good.
Dr. Simmons is at the Port Townsend Sanitarium, Washington. A large building has been secured. This house was erected fourteen years ago, and has been standing empty since. There is a family of twenty or twenty-two workers. Patients come from various States. The work accommodates surgical, medical, and obstetrical cases. The workers are Seventh-day Adventists. They have various religious and missionary meetings. It is the endeavor to keep our belief before the patients as much as possible. A small training-school is conducted. The nurses’ course is two years, with the third year optional.
Brother W. B. Scott, a medical student, has an institution in Salem, Ore. The building is two stories, full basement and attic, erected for a sanitarium. He has had one hundred and fifty patients in ten months, many coming from town physicians, and has about ten workers, mostly Seventh-day Adventists. The work gives him an opening for other religious work.
Dr. I. A. Dunlap, from the Walla Walla Sanitarium, gave a history of the origin of that sanitarium. It was opened first in the young men’s dormitory of the college two years ago. They have bought the old public-school building, and moved it onto the college campus, and are using it for sanitarium purposes. They have ten workers at present. The work is largely surgical.
Dr. Yarnell spoke of the work in Spokane, giving an interesting account of its growth.
Brother Foster has private treatment rooms in Vancouver. He has a small place of five rooms, and can care for seven patients at a time. He says he has a good opening for sanitarium work.
Treatment rooms are being conducted in Seattle, Ashland, and Bellingham, but no representatives were at the council.
Dr. Froom gave a report of the Portland Sanitarium. During the past year it has doubled the number of nurses in the training-school. It has put three thousand dollars into improvements around the building. He gave an encouraging report of its outlook.
Brother H. H. Haynes spoke on the work of the vegetarian café in Portland. It has a good patronage. An appreciative class of people patronize the place.
C. M. Christiansen spoke of the Walla Walla Food Company. He says the work is prospering, and a good financial gain is shown. The work is small, but is doing good. Vegetarian cafés are conducted in Spokane, Seattle, and Tacoma, but no representatives were present at the council.
Discussion followed on the influence on the patronage of closing cafés on the Sabbath. Consensus of opinion was that it is good.
The program consisted of the following subjects presented in papers or discussions: The Vegetarian Café as a Medical Missionary Enterprise, by S. J. Lashier; Cancer of the Digestive Tract, by Dr. W. R. Simmons; Sanitarium Management, by L. M. Bowen; Graduate Nurses—How Shall They Be Employed? by Dr. W. A. George; Relation of the Medical Missionary Work to the Third Angel’s Message, Elder W. B. White; How Shall We Secure Efficient Help in Our Sanitariums? by Dr. I. A. Dunlap; Commercialism in Our Sanitariums, by Dr. H. F. Rand.
The following resolutions were passed:—
“Whereas, We recognize the necessity of union and harmony in this branch of the Lord’s work, therefore,—
“1. Resolved, That we as a body of representative medical missionaries pledge anew our loyalty to the Seventh-day Adventist denomination and to the truths of the third angel’s message, and that we unite to advance all departments of the work.
“Whereas, We believe the interests of the Medical Missionary Department of this union conference can be best forwarded by more thorough organization, therefore,—
“2. Resolved, That we recommend that the Medical Department Committee be increased to seven members, so that it shall represent the various interests of the medical missionary work, such as sanitariums, treatment rooms, food factories, and vegetarian cafés, to formulate plans to carry on the work of the Medical Missionary Department of this union conference more successfully.
“Whereas, There is need of more uniformity in education, employment of help, standard of wages paid, prices charged, etc., therefore,—
“3. Resolved, That the above-mentioned committee shall endeavor to correspond with, and otherwise to secure the agreement of, our various institutions and enterprises in these respects.
“Looking to the organization of all true medical missionary enterprises in our territory for the purpose of maintaining a consistent standard of work, arranging an organization for mutual help and co-operation, we favor the general movement of the medical missionaries of this denomination toward an organization with definite conditions of membership and a distinguishing name, trade-mark, or badge for identity, therefore,—
“Resolved, That we favor the adoption of the name ‘Seventh-day Adventist,’ as a distinguishing part of the individual name of each of our health institutions, and in order to co-operate with the committee recently appointed by our General Conference Medical Missionary Convention in Washington, D. C., we suggest that the committee of the General Conference Medical Department act with the medical department committee of this union conference in passing upon the eligibility of applicants for membership in the Medical Missionary Department of this denomination.”22

Removal of Nebraska Conference Headquarters
By A. T. Robinson
SEVERAL months ago, after carefully studying the matter, steps were taken toward the removal of the Nebraska Conference headquarters from College View to Hastings. The leading business men of Hastings manifested a deep interest to have us locate in their city. Several lots were purchased in the northeast portion of the city, and a building suitably arranged for conference offices is now nearing completion. The removal of our office to this place will occur about the time of the camp-meeting.
Hastings is a beautiful city, one hundred miles west of Lincoln, on the main line of the Burlington. It is a good railroad center, having four different lines. It is a strong competitor with one or two other cities for third place in Nebraska cities. The city is laid out in streets running north and south and east and west, with beautiful shade trees in every direction. It is supplied with three splendid parks. The population at the present time is between eleven and twelve thousand. We hope to see a strong work established here in this middle-western city.

He had been sick for over two years, gradually growing worse since a relapse last March. During his sickness he made his peace with God, and died in hope of Christ’s soon coming. He leaves a father, mother, three brothers, and one sister to mourn, but not without hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer to a large audience of sorrowing friends and relatives.
G. R. HAWKINS.
LONG.—Died at her home in Guthrie, Okla., June 29, 1907, of inflammatory rheumatism, Arley J. Long, aged 60 years, 9 months, and 22 days. In early life she was converted and united with the Baptist Church, of which she was a faithful, active member. In 1888, under the labors of Brethren Morrow and Brock, she, with her husband, accepted present truth, becoming a member of the Effingham (Kan.) church. Her husband, one daughter, and four grandchildren mourn their loss. Owing to inability to secure one of our ministers, the sermon was preached by the pastor of the Baptist church.
J. M. LONG.
WEISHAAR.—Died near Turon, Kan., July 11, 1907, of a complication of diseases, Mrs. Anna C. Hammel Weishaar, wife of Brother D. F. Weishaar, aged 52 years, 5 months, and 3 days. Sister Weishaar accepted present truth about twenty years ago through the labors of Elder S. S. Shrock, and has shown her faith by her works during these years. In the death of our sister the church has lost a faithful member. A husband and six children mourn their great loss. The funeral service was conducted by the writer in the Christian church, and was attended by a large and attentive audience. The discourse was based on Isa. 25: 8.
I. F. THORN.
GAUNCE.—Died at Calgary, Alberta, Aug. 10, 1907, Mrs. Maggie Gaunce, aged 31 years, 2 months, and 22 days. She was born at Petersville Church, New Brunswick, where the early part of her life was spent. At the age of eighteen she united with the Presbyterian Church, in which she was a faithful member until present truth was brought to her in the early part of 1899 by Elder S. J. Hersum, at whose hand she received the ordinance of baptism. June 6, 1905, she was married to Brother H. G. Gaunce, of Boston, Mass., where they had been graduated as nurses at the Melrose Sanitarium. Four months prior to her death they both came to Alberta, for the purpose of establishing a health institution, but, on account of a severe illness which necessitated an operation, from which she never rallied, her life was suddenly cut short. Sister Gaunce was a devoted Christian and zealous worker. She leaves a husband, a father, three brothers, and three sisters to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken from 2 Tim. 4: 6-8, a text of her own choosing.
C. A. BURMAN.
FRANCE.—Died at Rocky Ford, Colo., July 14, 1907, of tuberculosis, Sister Lois Chloe France, in her twenty-ninth year. Sister France accepted present truth under the teaching of the writer, and was baptized at the dedication of the church here, April 16, 1905, and died in the full assurance of a part in the first resurrection. A few hours before her death she called her relatives to her bedside and bade them an affectionate farewell, admonishing them to meet her in the new earth. She leaves a husband, three little children, her father, mother, one brother, and one sister. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer; text, Rev. 14: 13.
GEO. M. ALWAY.
TERRY.—Fell asleep in Jesus, at Joplin, Mo., Aug. 3, 1907, my dear mother, Catherine M. Terry, aged 75 years, 2 months, and 6 days. She had been a Christian from childhood, and for the last nine years a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at this place. She was a plain and unassuming woman, but one who, so far as circumstances permitted, fulfilled the description given in Prov. 31: 10-31. She left a small circle of relatives to mourn their loss; some of whom, including the writer, expect to unite with her in singing praises to God and the Lamb through all eternity. Words of hope and comfort were spoken by J. H. Allred, church elder of the Galena (Kan.) Seventh-day Adventist church.
W. H. BROWN.
SMITH.—Died at the home of his daughter, Sister Maud Heald, in Healdsburg, Cal., May 21, 1907, of a complication of diseases, Brother Albert Lester Smith, aged 69 years. Brother Smith was converted and joined the M. E. Church about the age of sixteen, and in 1872 embraced the third angel’s message, and ever after was a conscientious, faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. During the Civil War, at the age of seventeen, he enlisted in Company A, Ninety-first N. Y. Infantry, and was wounded at the battle of Five Forks, in Virginia, and carried a Minie ball in his body until a few months before his death. Five children mourn the loss of a loving father. He fell asleep calmly, encouraged with the “blessed hope.” Remarks based on 2 Tim. 4: 7, 8, were made by the writer.
H. C. MCCLURE.
PITTON.—Died at the home of her father, at Sand Lake, Mich., July 19, 1907, of nervous prostration and paralysis, Mrs. Myrtle Cole Pitton, aged 24 years, 3 months, and 12 days. Her death occurred just one month from her wedding day. Myrtle was converted when but thirteen years of age, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Trufant, Mich. She lived a beautiful Christian life. Of her it could be truthfully said, “None knew her but to love her; none saw her but to praise.” Funeral service was held in the Methodist church. Elders S. M. Butler, W. H. Heckman, M. N. Campbell, and W. R. Matthews were present, each having a part in the service. She has left behind, her husband, father and mother, brothers and sisters, numerous relatives, and many friends, but we expect to meet her again on the glorious morning of the first resurrection.
H. C. PITTON.
MORANVILLE.—Died July 11, 1907, Jacob Moranville, aged 96 years, 3 months, and 9 days. Thirty-five years ago he moved to Iowa, and from there to Nebraska. Early in life he and his wife accepted Christ, and were faithful to the last. About seven years ago they accepted the third angel’s message at Guide Rock, Neb., where they made their home with their son, Dr. C. F. Moranville. While lying on his death-bed, Brother Moranville dictated letters to his children, exhorting them to live such lives as will please their Heavenly Father. Of the thirteen children born to him, eight boys and two girls are still living. In him were the words of Job fulfilled: “Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season.” Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from John 14: 1-3.

L’Ultimo Messaggio and Guadalajara Sanitarium
By Editor
WE are glad to welcome to the list of our publications L’Ultimo Messaggio (The Last Message), published at 500 Fifth Ave., New York City, N. Y., for the promulgation of the third angel’s message in the Italian language. May its mission be prospered of the Lord. Let those of our people who have Italian neighbors place this publication in their hands. This first issue deals with the growth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and with many of the fundamental principles and truths for which the denomination stands.
WE note from the Guadalajara News, that the sanitarium erected at that place by our people several years ago, has recently passed into the hands of the Methodists, they having purchased it for educational purposes. They are fitting it up for a first-class boarding-school for ladies, and it is to be known by the name “Institute Colon.”
Earning an Education
THE men whom the world delights to honor are the men who have struggled hard against adversity, and have won their way to the top because they were not afraid to grapple with any difficult problem that stood between them and what they desired to accomplish. There are thousands of young persons among us at the present time who very much desire an education to fit themselves for usefulness in the cause of God; but their parents are unable to furnish the means to pay their way through school. But that need not stand in the way. It is not standing in the way of some hundreds of young persons who, during the last ten years, have been securing an education without being parentally financed. They are financing their own undertaking, and are making a grand success of it. The best part of it is that while they are financing their undertaking, they are doing a most excellent work in advancing the very cause they are preparing themselves to enter. Nor is that all; they are making of themselves stronger young men and women than they otherwise would have been, and are bringing into our schools a spirit of real missionary zeal that is having its steadying, sobering, and strengthening influence among the other students. Let no young man or young woman who desires an education think it impossible to earn a scholarship in one of our educational institutions. Scores are doing it, and other scores are going to do it. It is in direct line with the new spirit that has taken hold of the progress of this cause. Young men and women, God wants you in his work. If parents do not have the means to give you the necessary preparation for the work, God has a work in which you can engage that will speed on his cause and give you the means for an education at the same time. Write to the principals of any of our schools or to our publishing houses about the scholarship plan; and what others are doing you can do.
Publishing Department Report
WE have another most encouraging report this week from the secretary of the General Conference Publishing Department. Note the grand increase over the excellent report of last month.

THE first formal announcement of the Cumberland Industrial School is now ready. Those desiring this announcement should drop a card to C. G. Howell, Daylight, Warren Co., Tenn.
Editor Returns from World Tour
By Editor

WE have received two beautiful songs, entitled “Footsteps That Never Come” and “Homeward.” These two songs are published in folder form, and 25 cents will purchase them both. Address Chas. P. Whitford, Fort Ogden, Fla. These songs have been given to Brother Whitford by their authors to assist him during his declining health, and all orders will be promptly filled and duly appreciated by all concerned.
Elder James E. Shultz
ELDER JAMES E. SHULTZ has accepted the call to go to Korea, and is making preparation to leave his home land some time in September. While it is with a feeling of sadness that we witness the preparations for his departure, and realize that Ohio is losing a capable worker, we are glad that it is our privilege to contribute another tried and true laborer to the distant needy fields. We feel assured that the prayers of many friends will accompany Brother Shultz and his faithful wife to their new home.—Welcome Visitor.
Encouragement at Kobe Sanitarium
THE workers at the Kobe Sanitarium, Japan, have been greatly encouraged by a short visit of some missionaries passing through Kobe, who have become intensely interested in the truth while stopping at the sanitarium. They have gotten clear light on the main features of the message, and it all comes to them as a new revelation of truth. Elder F. W. Field was present in the city at the time, and began his Bible studies with them upon the subject of the sanctuary.
Religious Liberty in Madagascar
PROTESTANT missionary societies in Madagascar are learning what religious liberty is when interpreted by an infidel, and this is a demonstration of the fact that religious liberty is not an outgrowth of infidelity any more than it is an outgrowth of the practise of that organization which held the world in its grip during the Dark Ages. The French governor-general threatens the existence of Protestant mission schools. He has also ordered the closing of the Y. M. C. A., saying, “I have decided that no more associations be permitted. . . . The association must be dissolved at once.” His iron hand even reaches into the homes of the people. The father is permitted to hold family worship only with the members of his own family. If there is present one stranger, the family worship is considered a religious meeting, and all religious meetings outside church buildings are prohibited. Thus all evangelistic and all itinerant missionary work is now illegal.
