En Route to Smyrna

By Robert S. Greaves

We arrived safely at Liverpool, and spent a few days there before being booked to Smyrna by the steamship "Orchis," which sailed April 11.
The ship was advertised to call at Malta for the first stopping place, but the owners wished it to go to Antwerp first, to take on a cargo. We were delayed at that place for nearly a week, and after leaving we had very bad weather. One night especially it seemed that everything that was movable was constantly tumbling about. The next morning some smoke was seen coming from the hold in the forepart of the vessel. It seemed to be very little, and the captain thought some acid had leaked out of a drum in the cargo, and this perhaps caused the smoke; for when a thermometer was lowered, and allowed to stay down for some time, it showed no rise in temperature. They were anxious to keep the hatches down, however, in case anything was wrong. About dinner-time, as the smoke still came out, the captain had a rope tied around him, and climbed below, to investigate. The smoke kept getting worse, and different ones, with cloths tied around their mouths, descended. Finally, one of the officers discovered that the cargo was on fire. The fire hose was gotten out, but little could be done; so the hatches were again put on, and the ship steered for land. Fortunately, we were not far out, and that evening we got into the harbor at Vigo, Spain. We had signals flying that the cargo was burning, and the captain was in hopes that there would be a man-of-war in the harbor, that would help us put out the fire. Several small boats soon came alongside; but they had no facilities to render us immediate help, so the engineer opened one of the sea-cocks, and the forepart of the ship was flooded. We did not land, but everything was ready to run the vessel ashore, if anything went wrong. The forward hold being separate from the other part of the ship, it was necessary to flood only this part. Much damage is done to the cargo; but the ship is a strong iron one, and so far as can be seen now, is almost unhurt. The fire is now out, and the ship pumped dry, but it may take some days to arrange the cargo again and start once more.

Repression of Mission Work in Madagascar

IN spite of the refusal of the Madagascar natives to uphold the French governor-general in his plan to suppress mission work in that island, his work of repression and oppression goes on unabated. If the present course of the governor continues, the Protestant schools there will be reduced from four thousand to four hundred, and one hundred forty thousand Malagasy children will be denied an education.

Openings in Georgia

By Arthur L. Manous

WE are pleased to be able to report progress in the closing message in the “Empire State of the South.” The Lord is wonderfully blessing every effort put forth here in advancing the message; and to him we give all the praise.
The openings in Georgia for self-supporting workers are many. This is the largest of all the States east of the Mississippi River, embracing 59,475 square miles, divided into one hundred forty-six counties having a population of about two million six hundred thousand.
We have a very heavy burden to carry, as the workers are few, and the State is so large. There are about one hundred counties which have never been entered with our books; one hundred thirty counties in which “Daniel and the Revelation” has never been introduced; and about one hundred thirty-five counties in which “Great Controversy” has not entered at all. The whole State is practically unentered with “Desire of Ages” and “Patriarchs and Prophets.”
Truly our needs are great, and the openings are many. The few workers we have in the field are being wonderfully blessed. We have two canvassers now working for “Great Controversy.” Their last week’s report shows twenty-six and twenty-eight orders for this important book. We also have two canvassers on the large book, “Daniel and the Revelation.” One worked seventy-nine hours, and took thirty-three orders; the other worked seventy-five hours, and took thirty-six orders. Truly the angels of God are going before the canvassers in this field.
We feel sure that this field and its needs will, when rightly understood, appeal to many souls in the stronger and better worked conferences, especially when it is remembered that we have only about one hundred forty-one Sabbath-keepers, all told. We wish to thank those who have manifested an interest in our behalf. We believe that God is placing a burden upon many more to join us in this needy but fruitful field.
We shall be glad to correspond with any who may have a burden to spread the printed page in Georgia. Our camp-meeting is planned to be held in Atlanta, August 6-16. This would be an excellent time to reach Georgia, and meet our little band of workers and Sabbath-keepers. Address the conference president, Elder George W. Wells, 77 Beecher St., Atlanta, Ga., or the writer at 602 Capitol Ave., Atlanta, Ga.

South America

By Arturo Fulton

ARGENTINA.—One of our faithful canvassers is having an interesting time in the new province of Cordoba. During the month of April he has sold one hundred forty-five books besides tracts and the subscriptions he has taken for La Verdad Presente. In one place he held night meetings, the people coming from a distance, and showing great interest, especially in learning the hymns. They were glad to know the reason why the priest forbade them to read the Bible. Some have given up using strong drink and tobacco, and some are desiring to walk in all the commandments of the Lord. There are several places where the interest ought to be followed up with meetings, but there is no one to send.
At Malbertina, in this same province, we have a church of French-Swiss believers. There are about forty children and youth in this company and the parents are very anxious to have a church-school for them. When we consider that there are no government schools in many places and that the youth are growing up in ignorance and are lost to the truth and the work of God, we see how important it is that schools be started for them. The brethren are well able to support a teacher but there is none to be had here. As we have read of the sacrifice and work done by the teachers from the States who a few years ago went to the Philippine Islands, we are led to wonder if our own youth are less willing to launch out into new and untried fields. Surely with this truth that we have they ought not to be.
There are many openings here in South America for the consecrated worker. The work done yields returns, for in many places there are honest hearts who gladly accept the truth when it is presented, and who remain firm through the most bitter persecutions. A little over a year ago two of our lady canvassers took over a hundred subscriptions for La Verdad Presente in San Nicholas, province of Buenos Aires. Now two of our young workers have gone there, and after a few meetings the Methodist minister with his family has accepted the Sabbath, while others are in the valley of decision. The most bitter persecution has been begun, and the minister of the other Protestant church forbade his members to receive the workers into their homes, but his opposition has only given them the greater desire to hear. What the outcome at this place will be remains to be seen. May the Lord move on the hearts of consecrated workers to come to this great needy field that the message may go with power.

Sumatra

By G. A. WANTZLICK.

It was a pleasure for us to have Brother Gates spend a week with us recently in counseling and planning for the work in these parts, and also in getting the several Battak natives to attend our school in Singapore, six of whom we had living with us at our mission home. Their names are Immanuel, Hezekiel, Gaius, Petroes, Hermenes, and Simion. The three former, being the oldest, accompanied Brother Gates on his return to Singapore, while it was thought best for the present, to have the three younger return to Tarvetving, their home.
It is the special desire and ambition of Immanuel and his companions, to write for and edit a paper in their native tongue (Battak), setting forth the present truth and circulating it broadcast throughout the interior. This is their own original plan of operation.
As they have the Bible in their own language, and are able to read and translate our Malay literature freely, it can readily be seen how the message could, by this means, be made to speedily reach the remotest parts of the interior, occupied distinctly by the Battaks, who are counted as being the oldest and original stock of natives of Sumatra.
The Lord has certainly prepared the way by means of more than sixty German missionaries who have done faithful work in breaking up the fallow ground, teaching this people to read, and introducing the Bible freely throughout this land.
At present I am working in the Dutch community, particularly the more well-to-do, along the Belantoeng. This is where the governor and other high officials reside. I introduced my work with the tract on "The Second Advent," followed with others. I was encouraged from the first with pleasant and courteous receptions on the whole, and have at present over one hundred names on my list, of those who are reading our literature.

Kentucky

McKINNEY.—In a personal letter Elder A. O. Burrill writes as follows concerning the work at this place: “My tent was filled last evening with the best citizens of the town and county. The message seems more definite than ever to me. The presence and power of the Lord are with us more fully than at any other time in my experience. The tent was given by the South Dakota Conference. I am sure that the donors would be rejoiced if they knew how the people are flocking to hear the words of life. Brethren A. F. Harrison and C. F. Dart are holding a canvassers’ institute in the new tent with a fine class. We hope soon to see the canvassing work upon a good basis in this State. Elder J. M. Irving is here from the West Michigan Conference, and expects to put up a tent to-morrow at Stanford. His fellow laborer, Brother Davis, is expected to join him to-morrow. The spirit that moved upon our brethren in the North to send men and money to the South is bringing fresh courage to the brethren here. We thank the Lord for this.”

Mexico

By Elder G. W. Caviness

ELDER G. W. CAVINESS writes from California, concerning the work in Mexico:— “I have received good word from Mexico. One of our canvassers was in Salina Cruz last year, and met a young Spaniard, talked the truth to him, and sold him some literature. I understand that he was with him not more than an hour or two. The canvasser went his way, and nothing was heard for some months, when the Spaniard sent for more literature, and said that about eighteen were keeping the Sabbath there. Dr. W. S. Swayze visited them, and reports a nice company. The young Spaniard is a brick- or stone-mason, and works by day, but holds meetings every night with about twenty interested persons, who are leaving off their bad habits, and taking hold of the Sabbath and other truths as they learn them.
“A letter sent to me from a place in the state of San Luis Potosi promises to furnish a hall or room for preaching, if we will send the man to do the preaching. Another letter from a minister of forty-five years’ experience says he never saw anything so clear as El Mensajero on the prophecies. He wants to be agent for the paper. My wife writes that our little meeting-place is so full that they are thinking strongly of getting a larger place. The two brethren who are canvassing sell and take subscriptions amounting to about one hundred dollars apiece each month. We are trying to do all we can to satisfy the demands for books in Spanish, but expect that they will grow faster, and keep ahead of us. The evidence seems to show that the Lord has gone out before us in every direction.”

Field Notes and Gleanings

Seven persons were baptized recently, and joined the church at Tunesassa, N. Y.
As a result of work done among the young people at Sutley, S. D., recently, fifteen were baptized on May 17, and joined the church at that place.
Four have begun keeping the Sabbath at Pomona, Kan., as the result of the labors of Brother D. E. Hoffman.
Fifteen persons were baptized recently at Mankato, Minn., as a result of special effort put forth in that church by Elder W. W. Ruble and L. E. Camp.
Elder W. A. Westworth reports the baptism of seven earnest souls at Ocean Beach, Conn., on May 29. Others at that place are expected to join the ranks before long.
Reports from Lyons, Colo., indicate that a good work is being done among the Swedes of that place. Two were baptized there on May 28, and five more are awaiting baptism.
On June, 6 the church at Denver, Colo., was encouraged by the baptism of eleven persons at the morning service. Six of these joined the Arvada church, and five the church at Denver.
Mrs. E. E. Parlin, one of our most faithful Bible workers in San Francisco, reports the addition of eight new Sabbath-keepers to the ranks of the commandment-keepers of that city as the result of her Bible readings.
The New York Conference is sending out this season five separate tent companies, the Indiana Conference is sending out six, and the Chesapeake Conference is also sending six tent companies into the field.
Elders C. W. Miller and B. E. Miller, who have been holding a series of tent-meetings at Brenham, Tex., reports as a result of these meetings the addition of ten new members to the church at that place. Others are expected to join the company later.
The canvassing work in the New Jersey Conference is taking an upward course at the present time. A good-sized company of canvassers is going into the field under the direction of the new conference canvassing agent, Brother Raleigh French.
Elder Victor Thompson reports the baptism of four persons at Logansport, Ind., and the baptism of two others at Farmersburg. He says: “The Lord has blessed our work, and all seem revived and encouraged by the spirit that graced our services.”
Elder C. J. Kunkel reports that as a result of labor put forth by Brother Wentland and Elder Valentine Leer at Rosehill, N. D., twenty-three persons in that place have been added to the number who are keeping the commandments of God. The company at Rosehill will soon be organized into a church.
In some portions of the field the members of our churches are being asked to donate horses and buggies to the canvassing work, especially for the use of sisters who are canvassing in sparsely settled territory. In other States, members of our churches are being asked to give board and room to young people who are canvassing for scholarships.

Northern Illinois

By Wm. Covert

WE plan to run six tents and conduct one camp-meeting this summer. Four of the tents will be operated in Chicago, one in Rochelle, and one in Rockford. The four tent-companies in Chicago will embrace work among the Germans, the Swedes, the Danish-Norwegians, and the English language.
At Holcomb work has been done from house to house until some eight families have become interested in the truth. This interest will probably be followed up by those who connect with the tent effort in Rockford.
Zion City, the place where the late Alexander Dowie organized his following a few years ago, is within the territory of this conference, and there we have an interest with a Sabbath-school and a few obedient to the truth. Some Chicago laborers are giving attention to the needs of this field, with the hope of eventually organizing a church there.
A Sabbath-school was organized at Winnetka, and some have begun to keep the Sabbath in that place.
At Moline seven were recently baptized, and ten were added to the church. Others have lately begun to keep the Sabbath in that city, who will doubtless unite with the church soon.
Two have been added to the Kankakee church by baptism, and three by letter, within the last few weeks. The net increase in the membership of the Forty-sixth Street Church, Chicago, is forty since the beginning of the year. About twenty-five of these were received by baptism.
Five students completed their course, and five were baptized at the Fox River Academy during the closing week of the school. This school continues with full work and fair attendance this summer.
The volume of book sales is having an encouraging increase at present. We have a number of sisters who could be secured for the Bible work, and who would doubtless do excellent service for the truth, and a number of promising young men who ought to be in the ministry; yet we are prevented just now from doing much aggressive work because of the financial stringency. We are hoping that something will come to pass which will cause our people who have money which could be used in advancing this cause to place it where it will count for the Master.

The Wabash Valley Sanitarium

By A. G. DANIELLS

SUNDAY, May 31, the Wabash Valley Sanitarium was by appropriate exercises dedicated to the noble work for which our whole sanitarium system has been developed. That work is to teach our fellow men how to live for health, to relieve the suffering, to restore the sick to health, and to qualify our young people by education and training to render efficient service in this department of our work.
THE WABASH VALLEY SANITARIUM, NEAR LA FAYETTE, IND.
THE WABASH VALLEY SANITARIUM, NEAR LA FAYETTE, IND.
The Wabash Valley Sanitarium is located on the west bank of the Wabash River, about two miles north of the city of La Fayette, Ind. The location is very attractive and desirable for sanitarium purposes. The block of land on which the buildings are located contains about fifty acres, rising gently from the bank of the river to the height of nearly two hundred feet. The buildings are set back just far enough to afford beautiful lawns in front, and a nice forest at the back. A good wagon road, and an excellent electric car line, run along the bank of the river, giving all travelers from the city to that part of the country a full view of the buildings and beautiful grounds. The street-car company has erected a neat little station at the foot of the sanitarium walk for the accommodation of our institution.
The main sanitarium building is built of brick. It has four stories, and contains about fifty rooms. The halls are wide, light, and airy, and all the rooms are very light. The bath-rooms are well arranged for sunshine and ventilation. The building is provided with a good steam-heating plant, and an electric elevator. Everything about the grounds is neat and attractive. The building is well planned, and substantially built,—two important features in a sanitarium.
Our brethren and sisters in Indiana showed their interest in this enterprise by coming from the surrounding towns to the dedicatory exercises, though the day was so cloudy and cold that the citizens of La Fayette did not venture out in large numbers. Elder W. J. Stone, president of the Indiana Conference, and chairman of the sanitarium board, conducted the exercises of the day. The mayor, Mr. Durgan, and Mr. Thompson, one of the lawyers of the city, were present, and delivered cordial addresses of welcome in behalf of the citizens of La Fayette. The chairman of the business men's association spoke for the business men.
Dr. D. H. Kress, of the Washington Sanitarium, read a very interesting and instructive paper on how to live for health, and the true methods of treating diseases. After an address by the writer on the Objects of our Sanitariums, and brief remarks by Dr. Worcester, the leading physician of the institution, the entire plant was dedicated by prayer to Him for whose glory it has been established.
The occasion was truly one of pleasure and encouragement. The presence of the majority of the ministers, Bible workers, and teachers of the conference contributed much to the interest of the exercises.
As our sanitarium work has been carried on in Indiana for a number of years, and has won the confidence of people in all parts of the State, there is already a very good patronage at this new institution. We certainly wish the Wabash Valley Sanitarium the fullest measure of success.

Early Experiences in the Publishing Work — No. 6

By John Norton Loughborough

SOME persons may suppose that the pioneers in this cause received the light on all points of the third angel’s message at one time; but this thought will be at once dispelled when we read from the pen of Sister White the following statement:—
“When we began to present the light on the Sabbath question [in the autumn of 1846], we had no clearly defined idea of the third angel’s message of Rev. 14: 9-12. The burden of our testimony as we came before the people was, that the great second advent movement was of God, that the first and second messages had gone forth, and that the third was to be given. We saw that the third message closed with the words, ‘Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.’ And we as clearly saw as we now see that these prophetic words suggested a Sabbath reform; but as to what the worship of the beast mentioned in the message was, or what the image and the mark of the beast were, we had no definite position.
“God by his Holy Spirit let light shine forth upon his servants, and the subject gradually opened to their minds. It required much study and anxious care to search it out, link after link. By care, anxiety, and incessant labor has the work moved on until the great truths of our message, a clear, connected, perfect whole, have been given to the world.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. I, pages 78, 79.
Still further we read of some, that they “little realize what it has cost those who, with prayers and tears, through trial and opposition, have sought for it [light] as for hid treasures. Every new link in the chain of truth was to them as precious as tried gold. These links are now united in a perfect whole. Truths have been dug out of the rubbish of superstition and error, by earnest prayer for light and knowledge, and have been presented to the people as precious pearls of priceless value.”—“Gospel Workers,” page 137.
Again we read: “Frequently, when brought into strait places, the entire night has been spent in earnest, agonizing prayer, with tears, for help from God, and for light to shine upon his Word. When the light has come, and the clouds have been driven back, what joy and grateful happiness have rested upon the anxious, earnest seekers! our gratitude to God was as complete as had been our earnest, hungering cry for light. Some nights we could not sleep, because our hearts were overflowing with love and gratitude.”—Ibid., page 206.
As an illustration of this, and that which led to another step in the publishing work, let us see how our people were led to the light respecting the sealing work mentioned in Revelation 7. On Feb. 22, 1848, a riot broke out in Paris, France, which spread to different petty States and principalities, until there were thirty-six involved in the struggle. In the month of March of the same year, spirit rappings began in the Fox and Fish families, in Hydesville, Wayne Co., N. Y. The First-day Adventists, who were continually bent on setting times for the Lord to come, said, “This is to lead up to the ‘battle of Armageddon.’ The spirit rappings are the spirits of devils that are to gather the nations to that great battle.”
Now think of the little company of Sabbath-keepers, not a hundred of them, all told, and they of the very poor of this world, who were teaching the Sabbath truth, and claiming that the third angel’s message was to be heralded to the world before the Lord should come. And consider that these time-setters were continually reproaching them, and saying, “You are too late with your message. The battle of Armageddon is coming on now. You had better give up your message and join us.”
Thus humbled, these souls sought God earnestly for light, and he did not disappoint them. Their minds, in that time, and under that severe pressure of opposition, were led to the seventh and fourteenth chapters of Revelation, and to the ninth chapter of Ezekiel. They clearly saw a sealing work, and that the seventh-day Sabbath was the great truth, which by the Spirit of God was to be written on the hearts of his children, and thus a people be prepared to stand ready for the coming of the Master.
What an additional and mighty proof was this to them, that they were right in claiming that the Sabbath truth was to be proclaimed to the world before the end should come. And, even while the confusion on the continent of Europe was increasing, and their opponents were making light of them and their efforts, it was their faith that somehow this turmoil would be checked, and the sealing message would accomplish its work.
Thus matters went on until Nov. 18, 1848. Then, as Brother and Sister White, Elder Bates, and a few others were assembled in the home of Brother Otis Nichols, at Dorchester, Mass., to study how they could publish the message to the world, the Lord was pleased to give Sister White a vision in which she saw that the Sabbath is the seal of God’s law; and the command was given to publish that truth to the world. Of the publishing that followed that meeting we will speak in our next article.

Courage in the Southland

THE summary which appeared in a recent REVIEW indicates that the Southwestern Union Conference stands at the head of our twelve unions here in North America in taking orders for subscription books. Concerning the general prospects for the work throughout the South, Brother J. A. Ford, manager of the Southern Publishing Association, writes as follows:—
“Yes, the Southwestern Union Conference is going right ahead. Their reports are increasing every week. I can say the same of the Southern and South-eastern Unions. We now have forty canvassers in what is now the Southern Union Conference. A few weeks ago we did not have that many in the Southern and Southeastern together; and best of all, they are all meeting with good success. The financial troubles in the world have not troubled the canvassers to any great extent. In a few instances they have thought their deliveries were not so good as they otherwise would have been, but in most places they can see no difference.”

Synopsis of Elder Daniels’ Discourse

Our sanitariums are located in all parts of the world. We have them in the United States, in Canada, in Mexico, South America, in Great Britain, Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, as well as in various other parts of the world; and the institutions are the same everywhere. That is, the principles that are held, and that govern the management, are recognized the world over.
These institutions differ from hospitals, and even from denominational hospitals, quite materially. In the first place, we educate our own physicians; that is, the physicians are gathered from our own ranks, and the denomination takes an interest in the development of these young men and women who wish to qualify for medical practice. We educate our own nurses. Every sanitarium is a medical training-school for nurses. We graduate our own nurses, and train them, and they do not receive their training in other institutions.
Then, again, we follow methods of our own. Our institutions are peculiar to ourselves as a people. We have not copied after other institutions. We have not based our methods upon those of any other institution. While we have gathered the scientific knowledge and methods to a degree from various hospitals and institutions, yet our sanitariums have a genius of their own.
The chairman has raised the question as to why we establish and maintain sanitariums. It has already been suggested by the speakers who have preceded me. It is because we believe that religion pertains to the body as well as to the soul. We do not believe that we have discharged our responsibility when we pray, and when we read the Bible and endeavor to cultivate the higher or the spiritual nature. We believe that the mind and body, the soul and the physical frame, are so closely related that in order to enjoy the highest degree of spirituality we must take the best of care of the body.
We have not established these institutions for commercial reasons. If we should turn them into commercial institutions, we would miss the great object for which we have established them. We can not establish prices beyond the reach of the common people, and so while we place our prices for treatment, for operations, and the care of the sick, so that the common people can avail themselves of these advantages, we place ourselves where we can not make money, and we are satisfied with that. But we must make them self-supporting.
Another thing, we must not only establish prices that will let the ordinary class have these privileges, but there are hundreds of poor, sick, suffering people who have not any money at all, but they need help. They need treatment; they need the physician’s care; they need just what can be given them in our institutions. And so every year we do thousands upon thousands of dollars’ worth of free work, that we might call charitable work. We contribute that to suffering humanity, and you would be surprised if I were to roll up the figures here showing the charitable work that is being done by these institutions the world over every year. But we believe it ought to be done.
And yet we have a still higher purpose than the healing of the sick, and that is to reveal the living God and the Saviour Jesus Christ. I do not hesitate to tell you that beyond all these material things we want to open the hearts of men and women to the reception of the Saviour of men; and we understand that that was the chief reason why our Lord and Master healed the sick wherever he went. He knew that at the very best this life would be a failure without this salvation, and he knew that by touching them at the needy spot, by healing their sickness, by relieving them of their sufferings, he could reveal himself as their Saviour to them; and so he did that day by day to help those people. And he would have this church in the earth, representing him, do the work that he did and for the purpose for which he did it.
We are very glad as a people to have this sanitarium added to our family of institutions. We are glad to see that the promoters have exercised good judgment in the selection of a location, and that they have manifested good taste in beautifying the grounds, and good judgment in the selection of material. I am glad as I go through this institution, to find it well constructed, light and airy, well ventilated, and with plenty of sunshine; to find it neat and clean and attractive, with furniture good enough for any of us; and to find provision made for all the wants and needs of the people.
I feel that this institution is a credit to our denomination, and it is also a credit to this conference and to this town in which it is located. And in behalf of the denomination I wish to say to our Indiana Conference that we wish you every prosperity in the operation of this place. We trust that it will be a blessing to the people of this city, and that they will never have occasion to be sorry that it has been established near them.
