Current Mention

—Practically all the regular section laborers on the New Haven Railroad (5,000 in number) are out on a strike for more wages.

—The Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad Company through its attorney has pleaded guilty to charges of granting rebates, and paid $20,000 fine.

—Two hundred persons were killed and immense damage done to property by a hurricane and tidal wave, that swept over the Caroline Islands, April 30.

—Turkish troops recently captured the strongest position of the Bulgarian bands in the Yenidje Lake region. The Bulgarians threaten to destroy all the Greek and Turkish villages in the district.

—By the burning of the lake steamer “Naomi,” May 21, during its passage from Grand Haven, Mich., to Milwaukee, five persons lost their lives, and seventy-five others were perilously endangered.

—Striking street-car men and their sympathizers have been in practical control of the streets of Evansville, Ind. Rioting has resulted, and violence has been done many men who have attempted to run the cars.

—The Stromboli and Mt. Etna volcanoes again are active, especially Stromboli. Deafening explosions are of constant occurrence, and the population of Stromboli Island has been thrown a second time into a condition of terror.

—Abraham Ruef, being tried in San Francisco in connection with the bribery of the city officials, has confessed to having received bribes to the amount of $61,000. He also implicates Mayor Schmitz to the extent of $50,000, and eighteen supervisors to the aggregate amount of $89,000 more.

—Following the assassination of three police officials at Odessa, Russia, May 20, serious rioting occurred. The Black Hundreds ran wild through the streets, mercilessly beating people, particularly Jews, more than 100 of whom were seriously injured. The police apparently remained passive spectators of the disorder, as no arrests were made.

—At a meeting of scientists in London on May 8, there was a demonstration of a new principle in locomotion. An inventor has perfected a miniature railway train which runs upon one rail, preserving its own equilibrium even when the cars are unevenly loaded. The secret of this peculiar operation lies in the use of the gyroscope, or the principle of the spinning top. These rapidly revolving wheels serve to keep the cars balanced while in motion.

—Judge Thomas G. James, of Alabama, has rendered judgment in which he holds that lynching in the States is a crime against the United States. If that be sound law, it necessarily follows that any other crime perpetrated in the State is an offense against the United States, and may be dealt with by federal court. This is another indication of the tendency in this country to centralize government under one all-controlling power, for whatever is true of lynching would logically be true of all other kinds of crime.

Medical Missionary Council

By Daniel H. Kress

No doubt our people everywhere are glad to receive the good news of the dedication and formal opening of the Washington Sanitarium. It is unnecessary to say that this Sanitarium will occupy an important place in our work, and that much will be expected of it. We trust therefore that our brethren everywhere will remember this institution and its workers at the throne of grace. Let us especially pray that God's blessing may in a marked manner attend the opening and dedication.

We are also looking forward with unusual interest to the medical missionary council to be held June 9-11, or just preceding the formal opening and dedication of the Washington Sanitarium. This council will be one of the most important in the history of our medical work. The time has come when it is necessary for the future prosperity of the medical work to have meetings where the representatives from our various medical institutions may counsel together and bring greater unity and gospel order into this work. It is possible to have our nurses' training-schools in the various institutions so unified and arranged that, teaching the same thing, and having the classes begin at the same time, it will be easy to make a transfer of nurses under training from one institution to another when thought best, without making a break in their studies.

We are certain God is at work, and that greater unity will be seen in all our work in the near future. Especially will this unity be seen between the gospel and the medical work. Man's extremity is always God's opportunity, and at the time when it might appear to some that confusion and hopelessness exist, the eye of faith can readily perceive an unseen hand controlling and regulating all, and working all after the counsels of God's own will.

There never was a time in the history of the medical work when the prospects for doing a great work were brighter than at present. God purposes to make his people a unit. How this may be brought about will be one of the matters that will receive consideration at the coming council. For the benefit of our institutions it is important to have all the medical superintendents present. We shall expect much of God's blessing at this meeting. D. H. KRESS.

St. Helena Sanitarium

By L. M. BOWEN

The St. Helena Sanitarium was opened for the treatment of patients, early in 1878, hence in age and size, ranks next to the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Dr. M. G. Kellogg was the first physician.

Like many of our institutions starting on a small scale with very limited resources, this sanitarium has had its perplexities and struggles with debt, but has grown in favor with the people. Dr. H. F. Rand has had charge as medical superintendent since last April. Under his care the patronage has about doubled. The past year has been the most prosperous in its history. Its debt obligations are being reduced, and we hope ere long to be able to sing the song of jubilee.

Our first class for the training of nurses was started in 1892, since which time many of the young people of the Pacific Coast have availed themselves of the advantages of this school, and as a result we find many faithful missionaries in various parts of the home and foreign lands who secured their training at the St. Helena Sanitarium. The Lord has blessed in the influence that has gone forth from the work and workers. Many souls have found the Saviour as a result of coming here.

Our location, surroundings, and climate are everything that could be desired, and among our patrons are a large number of people of influence in the world. Our desire is always to be found willing instruments to be used to the glory of God.

The following is a list of workers in the St. Helena Sanitarium:— Physicians: H. F. Rand, Camillus Bush, Henrietta E. Brighouse, Effie A. Brown, Etta Gray. Nurses: Irene Adams, Grace Adams, Dora Burke, Nellie Bobst, Ivy Bracket, J. E. Boehne, G. R. Close, C. L. Crommett, E. A. Dunn, Edith De Rush, Bessie Edwards, Flora Fulton, Zaidie Goodrich, P. C. Holt, Janet Huber, Ada Hartley, J. W. Harris, Chas. Harris, Ava Hibbard, Florence Hibbard, Gertrude Hildebrand, Mr. and Mrs. Haley, Daisy Ingle, S. M. Konigmacher, Clytie Leavitt, A. Leibsher, W. F. Lange, Florence McPhee, A. C. Mantor, Mildred Metcalf, E. A. McDonald, A. G. McCulloch, Alta Nesmith, Lilly Overton, Ruth Reid, Elizabeth Sandoz, Ethel Scoggins, Maud Steinbert, Mable Saunders, C. S.

Dedication of the Washington Sanitarium

By W. A. R.

It is with pleasure that we announce the dedication of the new institution at Takoma Park to the service of God and humanity. A cablegram from the council meeting of our brethren in Gland, Switzerland, fixes Wednesday, June 12, 1907, as the date for this event to which we have been looking forward for many months. Much delay has been experienced in securing finishing material. This has caused a postponement of the opening from time to time. Now everything is in a fair way to be completed by the date named.

There are many reasons why this is thought to be a very opportune time. As mentioned last week in these columns, the meeting of the American Medical Association at Atlantic City will bring many of our physicians to this locality. All railroads make special rates to this meeting. More favorable rates, however, may be gotten on some roads to the Jamestown Exposition, with ten days’ stop-over privilege at several places, including Washington.

The brethren who have been attending councils in Europe will be returning just at that time, and will be able to be present on this occasion. W. A. R.

More About the Council

GRATIFYING letters are received daily from our physicians, signifying their intention to be present on this occasion. Out of more than a score of answers to invitations to attend this meeting but one has said it would not be possible, and this only on account of a previous engagement.

If we consider the medical missionary work as important as the Lord indicates it to be, we shall believe this council to be one of the most important meetings of our people this year.

We ask every conference president, member of sanitarium board, and medical secretary to take a lively interest in influencing every medical missionary worker to attend this council, and to do everything in his power to make it possible for each one to attend. May we depend upon our people to unite in this effort to make of the medical work the efficient factor that it should be in helping to carry the third angel's message to the world. COMMITTEE.

Each church in the conference is entitled to one delegate for the organization, regardless of membership, and one additional delegate for every ten members. It is important that every church be fully represented, as officers are to be elected, and all matters connected with the work and carrying forward of the message in west Pennsylvania will come before the delegates. It is especially desired that all the church elders be present, as their work will receive special attention. C. F. McVagh.

Obituaries

BAILEY.—Died in Grand Island, Neb., April 19, 1907, Mary D. Bailey, aged nearly fifty-one years. For twenty years she has been an earnest witness for the third angel’s message in that city. God will not leave her work unrewarded. Funeral service was conducted by the writer. E. E. FARNSWORTH.

CLARK.—Died at the home of her brother in Richmond, Maine, April 14, 1907, of cancer of liver and bowels, Sister Delia Clark, aged 68 years and 28 days. She embraced the truths of the third angel’s message about thirty-two years ago, and was faithful till the close of life. We believe she sleeps in Jesus. Funeral sermon was delivered by the writer; text, Rev. 14:13. S. J. HERSUM.

BLEDSOE.—Died at his home at New Hope Church, in Cass County, Tex., Brother Bledsoe. The cause of his death was measles, relapsed. He bore his sickness patiently, and died in the triumphs of a living faith in the soon coming of Christ. He has been a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for many years, and leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his death. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Rev. 14:13. E. B. HOPKINS.

KELLY.—Died at her home near Huntingdon, Tenn., April 9, 1907, of paralysis of the bowels, Sister Jake Kelly, aged 32 years, 6 months, and 42 days. She accepted the third angel’s message through the ministry of Elder W. S. Lowry last January, uniting with the Leach church, previous to which time she had been a member of the Christian Church. She leaves a husband and six children, her mother, and one sister to mourn their loss. Funeral service was conducted by the church elder and the writer, the remarks being based on Rev. 14:1-14. WM. J. KEELE.

KINNE.—Died at her home in Lamar, Mo., April 7, 1907, after an illness of five months, due to heart trouble and dropsy, Sister Hannah Kinne. She was born at Rapids, Niagara Co., N. Y., July 25, 1843, and was raised by Seventh-day Baptist parents. In April, 1895, she united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Plano, Ill. She was a firm believer of present truth, and a careful observer of the Sabbath, and died with a bright hope of having a part in the first resurrection. She leaves an aged companion, one son, and one daughter. Words of comfort were spoken by the Methodist minister from Rev. 22:12, a text of her own choosing. MRS. W. O. WALTERS.

MILLER.—Died near Fallon, Nev., April 12, 1907, of spinal meningitis, Beatrice Amelia Miller, daughter of Brother and Sister Julius H. Miller, aged 6 years, 1 month, and 9 days. After an illness of thirty-six hours, which ended in convulsions and unconsciousness, Amelia fell asleep to rest till called by her Saviour, whom she loved. When she understood the meaning of baptism, she asked, “When can I be baptized?” She was awaiting an opportunity. Her love for the Bible stories was intense, and her own reasoning applied the truths taught in them. Funeral service was held at the St. Clair Seventh-day Adventist church, and words of comfort were read from the Word of God by the writer. WM. HARMON.

MORACLE.—Died at the home of his parents, in Brantford, Ontario, April 7, 1907, Nelson Moracle (Indian), aged 17 years. He loved the truth, refusing many times to work on the Sabbath when offered extra wages. His parents and several younger children are left to mourn, but not without hope. Comforting words were spoken by the writer; text, Rev. 11:18. P. M. HOWE.

LUTZ.—Died March 8, 1907, after more than a year’s helplessness from paralysis, Mary Magdalene Lutz, née German, aged 65 years, 8 months, and 26 days.

McMILLAN.—Died at the home of her daughter, near Vista, Cal., April 10, 1907, Sister Maria McMillan, aged 71 years. She accepted present truth in 1864. She was the mother of nine children, five of whom are now living. Her suffering at the last was severe, but she bore it with patience. Pastor W. J. Boyd, of the Methodist church, preached the funeral sermon from the words, “The living know that they shall die.” She was buried beside her husband in Vallicita, to await the Life-giver. LILLA WARREN.

McCUTCHION.—Died at Cripple Creek, Colo., March 19, 1907, of senile debility, Mrs. Ellen M. McCutchion, in her seventy-fourth year. Sister McCutchion was a member of the Fresno (Cal.) church, and is survived by a son, Edward, a locomotive engineer, whose address is not known. We all hope to meet her in that great and glad day when all tears shall be wiped away. The body was taken to Divide, Colo., where a brother-in-law, J. W. McCutchion, lives, and where the funeral was held. THOS. E. VANATA.

VANDA.—Died at Fremont, Mich., March 3, 1907, of consumption, Mrs. Mary Vanda, aged 79 years, 5 months, and 3 days. In middle life Sister Vanda gave her heart to the Saviour, and accepted the truths of the third angel’s message, living before her family and neighbors a consistent Christian life, and was like a sheaf of wheat ripened for the garner. She leaves an aged husband, four children, a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Funeral was held in the Disciple church. The choir furnished choice and appropriate music. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Titus 2:13. W. C. HEBNER.

JORDAN.—Died quite suddenly of apoplexy, at his home near Clintonville, Wis., April 9, 1907, Brother Wm. P. Jordan, in the seventy-third year of his age. Brother Jordan accepted present truth several years ago, and lived a consistent Christian life. He was regarded by the community as a man of veracity and Christian integrity, and a model school-teacher, which vocation he had pursued some fifty years. At the time of his death he was local elder of the Clintonville church. His wife, one son, one brother, and a number of relatives are left to mourn their loss. A spiritual lesson from Rev. 14:12-14 was set forth by the writer to a large and attentive congregation. H. R. JOHNSON.

SAMERSON.—Died at her home near Cherry Flats, Pa., April 2, 1907, Mrs. Laura V. Samerson, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bailey. When quite a young girl she, with her mother, embraced the principles of the third angel’s message, and was a faithful attendant at the services of her home church for many years; but as she grew to womanhood, the cares and inducements of the world crowded out the good seed. But as she neared the closing hours of her life, that desire and love for the truth was revived, and she left evidence that her peace was made with God. She leaves a husband and two boys, together with her aged parents, to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Eccl. 8:8. W. H. SMITH.

SELLARD.—Died at Roseburg, Ore., April 14, 1907, of croup, Glen Otto Sellard, aged 3 years, 11 months, and 15 days. Little Glen was a favorite with all who knew him. It was a hard stroke to lose this little sunbeam. Words of comfort were spoken from Jer. 31:16, 17, by the writer. C. J. COLE.

MILLER.—Died as a result of accident, April 5, 1907, Isaac D. Miller. He was born in Indiana, Dec. 18, 1874. Two years ago Brother Miller accepted present truth, and has been an earnest worker in the Los Angeles (Cal.) church since then. At the time of his death he was a faithful deacon and beloved brother. The sudden summons found his house in order, and we believe he rests in hope. B. E. FULLMER.

MAYBERRY.—Died at Memphis, Tenn., April 8, 1907, of congestion of the brain, Ruth Mayberry, daughter of Edwin P. and Jessie Sweet Mayberry, aged 2 years, 11 months, and 15 days. Little Ruth was sick only a few hours, and her death was a great shock to her parents. We laid her to rest, knowing that she will sleep only a little while, to be given back by the angels into the mother’s arms when the Life-giver comes. Words of comfort were spoken at the grave by the writer. R. S. DONNELL.

PECKHAM.—Died at Niantic, R. I., March 20, 1907, Samuel Peckham, aged 79 years and 2 weeks. He was the oldest and one of the stanchest members of the Niantic Seventh-day Adventist church. Brother Peckham had been in failing health for some months past, but his real condition was scarcely known by his own family. As a church we feel deeply our loss, as we have largely leaned upon him for support in the work of the church since the first year of its organization. He leaves a wife, one son, and one daughter, two grandchildren, three brothers, and a number of other relatives to mourn his departure. Funeral service was conducted by the writer, and burial took place in the family burying-ground on the farm which had been the home of this aged couple for the past fifty-five years. E. A. STILLMAN.

CROSBIE.—Died at Ogdensburg, N. Y., March 11, 1907, Thomas Crosbie, in his fiftieth year. The deceased was the youngest son of Henry Crosbie, one of the pioneers in the cause of present truth in the State of New York, and a brother of Samuel T. Crosbie, well known to many of our people. Two years ago, having become mentally unbalanced, the effect of disease and overwork, it was thought best to place him in the asylum, he in his lucid moments even requesting it to be done. Before leaving, he gathered his family around him and exhorted them to be Christians and keep the Sabbath, expressing the hope that he might recover and return to join them in it. A wife, three children, and a large circle of friends are left to mourn. The funeral service was held in his home near West Potsdam, where he was born, and where he had always lived. Interment was made at Madrid. S. B. WHITNEY.

McCONNELL.—Died at Spokane, Wash., March 14, 1907, Charles W. McConnell, aged 40 years, 2 months, and 12 days. His home was in Springfield, Ill., where his aged parents and one brother still reside. He accepted present truth at Columbus, Ohio, about fourteen years ago, and was an active member of the Columbus church until he was called back to his home city. In both churches he filled the position of elder in the fear of the Lord, ever ready to help where help was needed. In January, 1904, he suffered from a severe attack of nervous prostration, resulting in softening of the brain. His patience during his long illness was a marvel to all who saw him. His wife and three children, his aged parents, his brother, and many other relatives and friends miss him sadly, and long for that resurrection morn when we shall meet our loved one again. Sabbath evening a short service was held at the house by the writer, and on Sabbath the remains were laid to rest in the Ritzville (Wash.) Cemetery. E. M. WATTS.
