TRACTS AND ORANGES.

BRO. LOUGHBOROUGH reports the following interesting item from Southampton, Eng.:— A ship returned from the West Indies to this port. In the cargo consigned to London was a lot of oranges. The ship-keeper (who helps us distribute tracts), in re-arranging the box of oranges, found in the box a copy of the tract, “Who Changed the Sabbath?” This had been to the orange groves. It appeared to have been read, and carefully laid in the box to go to some one else. The ship-keeper put several more of our tracts with it, carefully nailed up the box, and let it go on to its destination. That tract has now crossed the Atlantic three times. Who will receive it at last? And what will be its effect? What convictions it may have raised before finding its place in the orange box, the Judgment alone can tell. Forwarding our tracts in this way reminds me of the Bibles sent by Wm. Tyndale to England in sacks of grain.

GENERAL CONFERENCE.

By James White

THERE will be a special session of the General Conference at the Battle Creek Tabernacle, March 11-15. Some of the reasons why this meeting should be held at the time named are given in another column of this paper. Special notice will be given to presidents of State Conferences. We hope to see a full attendance, and that the meeting will be greatly blessed of God.
JAMES WHITE, Pres. Gen. Conf.

By James White

We call special attention to the statements on another page under the caption, Matters of Finance. It is a fact that our patrons and friends have lost thousands of dollars annually by trusting their means in other hands; and it is also a fact that not one dollar of the tens of thousands of dollars that have been deposited in our institutions at Battle Creek, has been lost.

About the sum of $100 has been received at this Office for the house of worship at Oakland during the month of February. There is due us for money advanced for that church the sum of $600. This is besides the $1,700 we gave. We shall expect help in this matter of raising the $600, and shall not be disappointed.

Appeal for One Hundred Dollar Donors to Circulate Writings

By James White

We invite our liberal friends, who are blessed with means, to give attention to the growing list of one hundred dollar men and women, who are raising a fund to circulate the writings of Mrs. E. G. White.
We hope to see one hundred such names in the REVIEW, before the year shall close. The object is a good one, and all true friends of the cause, who are able to do so, will esteem it a pleasure to be represented in it, in the sum of one hundred dollars. J. W.

News of Travelers Bound for California

By James White

News from wife, children and Eld. Haskell the 27th ult., nine hours this side of Ogden, represents the company well, comfortable and happy. While the Spirit of God has been deeply impressing minds here, the same blessed work has been going on in the minds and hearts of our dear friends while being borne rapidly from us to their important work in California.

POSTPONEMENT OF KANSAS TRACT AND MISSIONARY INSTITUTE.

By B. L. Whitney

In consideration of the soon-coming Conference, and the appeals for T. and M. Institutes in other States, it is decided to postpone the Kansas Institute two or three weeks.
The time appointed for this meeting is unfavorable as it will then be a time of great activity with farmers. It is hoped that this postponement will give opportunity for more general attendance, and will accommodate the brethren much better.
We have telegraphed to Kansas in reference to this matter, and failing to receive reply have taken the liberty, with the advice of leading brethren here, to change the time of that institute. Definite time will be given next week. B. L. WHITNEY.

Origin of Sunday Observance and Papal Influence

By N. A. Porter

N. A. PORTER: In response to yours of Feb. 26, we refer you to Eld. J. N. Andrews' History of the Sabbath, for the full history of all the steps by which Sunday was gradually raised to its present position of influence and power. No one individual did the whole work, nor was it accomplished in any one year; but the influence of the papacy is apparent all the way along.

WISCONSIN T. AND M. INSTITUTE.

By Conference Committee

It has been decided to hold a T. and M. Institute at Oakland, Jefferson Co., Wis., commencing Thursday March 18, and continuing to the 28th. The instruction and management will be under the efficient direction of Eld. B. L. Whitney, of New York. This will be an occasion of great interest and importance, and we urge a general attendance of all who are interested in the T. and M. work. Our ministers will all arrange to attend. Directors and other officers should make every effort to be there. Those living nearest may come prepared to care for themselves. There is room for all.
All coming by railroad should at once write to Andrew Olsen, Busseyville, Jefferson Co., Wis. Teams will meet the trains from the west at Edgerton, and from the north and south at Fort Atkinson, on the 17th and 19th.
Brethren, this Institute will be important. Let no slight hindrance prevent your coming. CONF. COM.

STRANGE INCONSISTENCY.

By William Penniman

BY WILLIAM PENNIMAN.
TALMAGE, in a recent sermon on the words, “The Sabbath was made for man,” as published in the N. Y. Witness of Dec. 4, 1879, uses the following truthful and very forcible language:—
“There is the same reason for maintaining the binding force of the fourth commandment as of the seventh or eighth, and the Sabbath of the decalogue is no more a Jewish institution than chastity or honesty.”
He admits that the Sabbath is an institution. This is very true, but what kind of an institution is it? Is it an institution making the first day, a day, or any day, every day, or no day in particular, the Sabbath? If so, why does God say, Remember the seventh day? Why does he not say, Remember a seventh day, if any day will do? The truth is, the Sabbath and the day on which it is to be observed are found in the fourth commandment, and it is exceedingly hard work to get the right day out, and to put any other in. Therefore those who undertake to found their authority for Sunday-keeping upon the fourth commandment are very inconsistent in their reasoning. The word Sabbath signifies rest, and when God says, “Remember the Sabbath day,” it is the same as though he said, Remember the rest-day. The commandment says that the seventh day is the rest-day. It follows that the rest-day is the seventh day. Then by what process of reasoning can a person change the institution which makes the seventh day the rest-day to one which makes some other day the Sabbath? God blessed the seventh day, because that in it he had rested.
Mr. Talmage ought to see this; yet he gives the old, threadbare arguments for a change of day. Those are the most consistent who either hold to the true Sabbath or none at all. The latter was the position of Alex. Campbell, who said there could be no change, any more than creation could be gone through with again.

TO MY BRETHREN IN IOWA.

By John F. Hanson

“Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel.” Jer. 10:1. On reading this verse in my morning lesson, I was forcibly struck with the thought that the Lord always means what he says, and that his Israel will save themselves much trouble and many trials if they always obey him. Testimony No. 29 says that “Iowa will be left far behind other States in the standard of pure godliness,” if certain evils are not avoided. If this is the word of the Lord to us, it will not fail; but we shall ere long see the fulfillment before our eyes.
I have been benefited by the reading of this Testimony, and I mean to heed it. I believe this is a turning-point with many. Now, if we decide for God, let us live for him and for him only; and let us all, ministers and people, clear the King’s highway, and give the Lord an opportunity to work for us. If we do this, I believe, yes, I know, that he will graciously return unto us. “If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return unto me; and if thou wilt put away thine abomination out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.” Jer. 4:1.
JOHN F. HANSON.
