WE note a statement in the News that "the church-school question is receiving much consideration in the Chesapeake Conference, and most churches will arrange for schools."
THE Tennessee River Conference will hold a camp-meeting at Paris, Tenn., from the 14th to the 24th of the present month. Efficient ministerial laborers will conduct the services.
A BAKERY is being constructed in connection with the Walla Walla (Wash.) College, and it is announced that the manufacture of health foods will be commenced about the middle of this month.
DR. W. H. RILEY, president of the Colorado Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association and medical director of our sanitarium at Boulder, holds the chair of nervous and mental diseases in the University of Colorado.
THE testimony to the church to-day is: "Were every one of you living missionaries, the Gospel would be proclaimed speedily in all countries, to all peoples, nations, and tongues. This is the work that must be done before Christ shall come in power and great glory." Also this admonition: "The Lord God of heaven would have the entire church devising ways and means whereby high and low, rich and poor, may hear the message of truth."
THIS testimonial to the utility of the church-school movement is from the Reaper, organ of the Upper Columbia Conference: "Recent word from the church school at Swauk Prairie informs us that they have decided to continue the present term two months more. An item in the same letter states that four of the students have been baptized, and that three more will be baptized soon, while others manifest an interest in their soul's salvation. This is good news, but it is the principal object of our church schools, namely, the conversion of the children who attend."
"WHY circulate so much and such varied literature?" we are frequently asked. It is because this is a reading age, and the enemy is taking advantage of it. Shall the truth be withheld, and rank error be allowed to overspread the entire field? The enemy of souls is filling the world with great libraries of fiction in all its foul forms. Then there is the growing literature of Spiritualism, of Theosophy, Christian Science (so called), Higher Criticism (infidelity in a cloak of wisdom), National Reform (Church and State union), and many other isms designed to parry the force of the plain Word of God. All these things have to be met in a special manner, in order to call the attention of the confused masses to the Scriptures of truth, wherein is all wisdom. See Col. 3:16; Deut. 4:5, 6; 2 Tim. 3:15, 16. The object of our literature is to direct the wandering minds of the people to Jesus Christ, the "Light of the world," and to the "sure word of prophecy," which is "a light in a dark place." Through this literature we give the message as "ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God."
FROM the Wisconsin Reporter we take these excerpts from a letter written by Sister Elsie A. Strong, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, June 27, three weeks after her arrival: "I will have to learn to speak Portuguese before I can do very much. . . . The Portuguese language seems to be quite difficult to learn, and the most of the workers have been here several years, they complain of not knowing the language well enough to do efficient work for the natives. Most of the work done is for the Germans, of whom there are a great many. There are four large church schools for the Germans, and one Portuguese school will soon be started by Brother Stein, who is well educated in the language. We are talking of having a teacher, for then we will be sure to learn the language correctly, and will learn rapidly. There are really two languages—one for the upper class, and another for the lower class. . . . There is so much suffering, want, and crime here, that I feel so anxious to be able to work for the natives who are so sorely in need of help. I think the church-school teacher and the medical missionary are the classes of laborers who are needed most, for the people are mostly ignorant, and can neither read nor write. . . . The people do not seem to have the least idea of how the human body should be treated. They think that eating fruit will surely bring on the fever, and to avoid it one should eat freely of meat. When the cool weather of the rainy season comes on, instead of dressing warmer, they take to drink to counteract the cold. They say tobacco must be used to kill the yellow fever germs in the system. The there are so many deaths from yellow and malarial fevers, by far the greater number of deaths are caused by consumption."
TOO BEAUTIFUL TO KILL.
By MRS. MATTIE E. DURKEE
THE Pittsburg Post tells this story of Fergus, a Scotch lad fourteen years old. His father had given him a new rifle and a new canoe, and now in the Adirondacks, near Upper St. Regis Lake, he was expecting to shoot his first deer. On an August day he went from camp with Calvin, the guide, and was about to embark on the lake.
It was so lovely that Fergus held his breath
to look, till all at once he felt Calvin's hand on his shoulder. One look at the guide's face, and he knew that something was happening.
At first Fergus heard nothing but his own heart-beats. Then, as he recovered himself a little, he could hear a rustle and an occasional crackle, and presently, looking up the bank, he discerned the swaying of a bush. Something was moving there.
Suddenly the bushes parted and a head looked through! It was the head of which Fergus had lovingly and longingly dreamed, a beautiful antlered head held proudly up, the eyes alert, the nostrils wide apart. As the creature broke from cover his mouth was open, he was hot and thirsty, and eager to get at the water.
"Does he see us?" whispered Calvin.
Fergus shook his head.
"Let him get well out of the bushes, then raise your rifle," whispered the guide.
Inch by inch Fergus had already lifted his rifle and was now looking along it when the deer advanced, coming twenty feet nearer. Then, assuring himself that all was safe, he
stood, his ears at a sharp angle, directly facing Fergus.
Fergus could see the beautiful, scared eyes of the deer.
"Fire," said Calvin.
But instead, Fergus dropped his rifle to his side. There was a sudden movement, a crashing of boughs, and the place was empty.
"Why, Fergus!" cried Calvin, disappointed and amazed. "Why, Fergus!"
He looked curiously into the boy's face and discovered that each bright eye had a tear in it, and that the under lip was quivering.
"O Calvin!" cried Fergus, "I couldn't do it. I hadn't the heart to do it. I'd die myself before I'd kill anything so beautiful."
Too Beautiful to Kill.
ONE FORENOON'S EXPERIENCE.
MRS. B had just closed her bedroom door, and proceeded to her duties in the kitchen. She was one of those working men's wives who did her own work, and by economy kept her children in school.
She secretly wished that no one would call that morning, for there was so much to do, and only one pair of hands to do it; but she had just been asking her Counselor for wisdom, and therefore it was with confidence she sang as she worked:—
"A little talk with Jesus,
How it cheers the weary road;
How it seems to help me onward,
As I faint beneath the load!
When my heart is pressed with sorrow,
And my eyes with tears are dim,
There's naught can yield me comfort
Like a little talk with Him."
Mrs. B had her heart sorrows, as many real Christians have, and yet she had learned how to suffer and grow strong.
She once carried her grief in her face, and every one seemed to shun her. They would
either pity or condemn, but seldom felt disposed to give a kindly word as a balm to her spirit. It all turned out well for Mrs. B, for it drove her to her Saviour, and she learned to find comfort in His Holy Word. She often sang:—
"Holy Bible, how I love it,
How it doth my spirit cheer!
What hath earth like this to covet?
O, what stores of wealth are here!"
She was singing this very hymn, and her heart was filled with joy, even while the remembrance of her grief pressed upon her, when a gentle rap was made at the kitchen door, and a voice said, "Please, ma'am, can you give me something to eat?" Not wishing to turn away a hungry soul, she placed a small lunch in his hands, and without a word, closed the door.
There was a quantity of tomatoes to peel and can before dinner, and she sat down to her task, singing, as usual, one of those good hymns that were so comforting. Now it was:—
"Let Thy Spirit, blessed Saviour,
Fill us all with joy and peace."
Somehow she felt uneasy. All do not know
of this blessed Spirit; many know nothing of Christ, of the joy and peace He can give. The face of the stranger she had fed came before her; then the questions, Why had you no word for his soul? Did you forget that he was some mother's son, and might be in need of the very word you could give?
A sense of neglect caused her to say in her heart, O Lord, forgive, I will try to remember next time! Then she continued:—
"On Thy Word our souls are resting,
Taught by Thee, Thy name we love.
Sweetest of all names is Jesus,
How it doth our spirits move!"
Another rap at the door, a loud one: "Any paper rags to sell?"
Her first thought was to answer abruptly, and close the door, and not to open it again to any one, but, "What would Jesus do?" came to her mind, and she said, "I have some, but I am very busy, and can't attend to it to-day, so you must excuse me."
"All right," was the reply, while the man carried with him the consciousness that a kind heart had framed the words, and the face and13
voice were in his mind for a long time. "I believe she is a good woman," he said to himself, for the light of Jesus within will be reflected upon others somehow.
Ting-a-ling-ling! sounded the front door bell. "Not my will, but Thine. Who can it be this time?" sighed Mrs. B, as she paused quite abruptly, after singing the first line of the hymn beginning:—
"Hark, my soul, it is the Lord."
"What if it were the Lord in the person of one of His servants?" she thought. So, quickly washing and drying her hands, she complacently opened the door to admit a modest, plainly-dressed woman, who asked if she had any old clothes to spare, to help clothe her little ones at home, saying she would be glad to help her in return by doing any kind of work. "I will let her help me with these tomatoes," thought Mrs. B, and I can find plenty of clothes to make over for her children; so the stranger and Mrs. B sat down together to finish the task, and while busy with their hands, they had some profitable conversation. As Mrs. B rose to wash another panful of tomatoes her voice sounded very sweetly in the poor woman's ears, as she sang:—
"I delivered thee when bound,
And when wounded, healed thy wound,
Sought thee wand'ring, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light."
"It sounds like mother's hymns," she said half aloud, and the tears began to gather in her eyes, as Mrs. B continued singing:—
"Can a mother's tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee."
"Yes, He does remember me," she said aloud.
"Do you believe it?" asked Mrs. B.
"I did not once, but I do now; your words and conduct have changed my mind," said the stranger. "O, you can never know how hard and bitter I have felt toward some church-members; I have thought the most of them were miserable hypocrites!"
"But you will admit there are some good ones among them, won't you?"
"O, yes, but so few; they seem to satisfy their conscience by giving to the poor sometimes, but not a word do they say about Christ or the heaven they expect to go to. I tell you, truly, you are the first person for years that I've had a real sisterly talk with; no one before has asked me if I loved Jesus, or shown any interest in my salvation. I had praying parents, but married a worldly man, and gradually lost all interest in religious things. I lived a careless, prayerless life, and doubted the Christianity of my early life."
"But you'll doubt no longer, will you? Jesus is our Elder Brother, and He is calling to you now to yield to Him, and be saved."
"I believe I will try; your kind words have encouraged me," and the tears of the poor woman began to flow freely.
"Praise God," said Mrs. B, with a subdued yet lively emphasis. "Trust Him, my dear sister, let Him take all your sorrows, all your cares, all your sins, lay them all upon Jesus, as He bids you do; I have found Him a never-failing Friend, and I know you can the same."
"Thank you so much for helping me; I will, I will," and Mrs. B's voice was now heard singing, as she finished the last of her tomatoes:—
"I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares,
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrow shares."
She found it indeed true that in blessing others her own soul was blessed, and felt thankful that the dear Lord had that day visited her. MRS. MATTIE E. DURKEE.

LESSON XIV.—SABBATH, SEPTEMBER 30, 1899.
HEALING OF BLIND BARTIMEUS; VISIT AT THE HOUSE OF ZACCHEUS.
Matt. 20:20-34.
20 "THEN came to Him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshiping Him, and asking a certain thing of Him. 21 And He said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto Him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on Thy right hand, and one on Thy left hand, in Thy kingdom. 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto Him, We are able. 23 He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink; but to sit on My right hand, and on My left hand, is not Mine to give, but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of My Father. 24 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren. 25 But Jesus called them unto Him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and 26 their great ones exercise authority over them. Not so shall it be among you; but whosoever would become great among 27 you shall be your minister; and whosoever would be first 28 among you shall be your servant; even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.
29 "And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. 30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, 31 saying, Lord, have mercy on us, Thou Son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace; but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, 32 Thou Son of David. And Jesus stood still, and called them, 33 and said, What will ye that I should do unto you? They say 34 unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed Him."
Luke 18:35 to 19:10.
36 "And hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this 37 meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth 38 by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, Thou Son of David, have 39 mercy on me. And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace; but he cried out the more a great 40 deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto Him; and 41 when he was come near, He asked him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive 42 my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight; thy 43 faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
1 "And He entered and was passing through Jericho. And 2 behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief 3 publican, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who 4 He was, and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him; for He was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I 6 must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came 7 down, and received Him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that 8 is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this 10 house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost."

Side Light.—"Desire of Ages," chapter 61.
NOTES.
1. In Thy kingdom.—It seems strange at this distance that, after so much and such recent instruction concerning the part Jesus was to act, the disciples should still cling to their traditional dream of an earthly Messianic kingdom. But theirs is a case of religious teaching in which the whole life becomes so molded as to prove almost hopelessly fixed. Inasmuch as human nature is the same in every age, how important that parents see to it that their children are now diligently taught in the principles of eternal truth!
2. Chief publican.—The publicans were tax collectors. This man, being "chief among the publicans," was probably the superintendent of customs, or tribute, for the district of Jericho. These tax collectors were famous for being extortioners in their business, and it is not strange, therefore, that this Jew (for such his name implies) was "rich."
3. The parable of the pounds is the parallel of the parable of the talents in Matt. 25:14-46, and will be studied more fully in a future lesson. It is an illustration of the spiritual gifts bestowed by our Lord upon His church when He went away. See Eph. 4:8-13; 1 Corinthians 12. Both spiritual gifts and pounds (talents) were given at the same time, by the same Lord, to the same ones, for the same purpose, for the same period of time, hence must be the same. Note, that these precious gifts of the Spirit are illustrated by the highest money denomination, "pound" in Roman, "talent" in Jewish money. They are given to use for God. He who does not use for God, buries the gift in the earth and will lose all.

THE TEST OF THE AGES
