Current Mention

— Four negroes were killed in a race war at Madrid Bend, Ky., March 20.
— Massachusetts has the first law in the world prohibiting vivisection in the schools.
— Dr. Talmage, the well-known pulpit orator, is reported dangerously ill at his home in Washington, D. C.
— There is a scourge of cholera at Manila. Forty cases of the disease, with thirty deaths, were reported up to March 25.
— A passenger train on the Southern Railway was wrecked by a landslide at Covesville, Va., March 25. The train was destroyed, and two persons were killed.
— A Kentucky inventor has devised a machine for sending wireless telephone messages, and has demonstrated by experiment that such messages can be sent for short distances.
— Thirty rioters connected with the petroleum works at Batum, Russia, were killed by Russian troops, March 22, while attempting to release other rioters who had been imprisoned.
— Nine men who were at work excavating for the foundation of a gas plant in Cleveland, Ohio, were buried by the caving in of the earth above them, March 25, and seven were taken out dead.
— Assurances are given that a wireless telegraph station is soon to be established at Cape Breton, and that by early summer transatlantic telegraph service will be in regular operation between that point and Great Britain.
— It is reported that the pope is preparing a constitution for the governing of the religious orders in the Philippines, which constitution will answer all questions relating to the church property, taxes, schools, etc., in the archipelago. Evidently the pope does not anticipate that any serious disturbance of existing religious conditions is to be made by the United States.
— The Burlington Railroad Company, which has heretofore prohibited the use of liquor by employees who had anything to do with the operating of trains, has now extended the prohibition to every department of the service. The new rule reads: “The use of intoxicants by employees while on duty is prohibited. Their habitual use or the frequenting of places where they are sold is sufficient cause for dismissal.”
— A new one-cent postal card is now being printed at the bureau of engraving and printing, and when the first issue of 4,000,000 has been counted and bundled, the new card will be placed on sale. Its distinctive feature is that the new card contains a vignette of President McKinley in lieu of President Jefferson’s portrait. The issue of the Jefferson card will be discontinued when the present stock on hand is exhausted.
— France and Russia have interrogated the powers of Europe and the United States, on the point of the attitude they will assume, individually, in the event of war over China with England and Japan. It is believed that if Germany and the United States would promise to remain neutral in such an event, war would break out in the near future. But neither Germany nor the United States will bind itself by any promise.
— An insurrection which has assumed serious proportions is in progress in southern China. Report says that the Chinese troops are wholly incapable of suppressing the uprising, and are defeated by the insurgents in almost every engagement.
— The lower house of Congress adopted recently, for the fourth time, a resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States senators by popular vote. No demand was made for time to debate the resolution.
— The Japanese government has been conducting experiments bearing on the question of the relation between the mosquito and the spread of malaria. A battalion of soldiers, it is stated, was completely protected from mosquitoes for 161 days during the malarial season. It entirely escaped the disease. An unprotected battalion at the same place had 259 cases of malaria.
— Neeley, Rathbone, and Reeves, who were respectively treasurer, director, and auditor in the Cuban post office at Havana, were convicted in the United States court in that city of having embezzled post-office funds, and on March 24 were sentenced to ten years each in the penitentiary, and in addition were heavily fined. Thus ends one of the most noted cases before the United States courts within recent years.
— Cecil J. Rhodes, who has for several years been foremost in the public eye in connection with affairs in South Africa, died at Cape Town, March 26. Mr. Rhodes’s ambition, to which he devoted his untiring energy during his later years, was the extension of the British empire from Cape Town to Cairo. He was a leading figure in South African politics, and was the official from whom was secured the grant of land upon which is established the Matabele Mission.
— James G. Fair, who before his death owned an estate in California valued at $20,000,000, made a will which provided that his children should have only the income from this estate, so that the latter should remain intact, and be passed down to his posterity. His children attacked the will in the California courts, and now the supreme court of the State has set aside the trust clause in the will, thus practically deciding that a man cannot entail his property in California.
— A rigid enforcement of the Sunday law is being tried in the Pointe Coupee parish of southern Louisiana, says a New Orleans dispatch. The merchants of the parish, to the number of one hundred and fifty, were all arrested Saturday, March 22, charged with being Sunday-law violators, and after sixty-eight of them had been tried, a conviction following in every case, the rest pleaded guilty. A fine of twenty-five dollars besides costs was imposed in each case; and the total sum thus collected, $3,750, was turned over to the public-school fund. It would not be strange if public-school officials in that parish should hereafter be zealous for a vigorous enforcement of the law.
— No end of trouble is attending the work of blasting the rapid transit tunnel through the underlying rock of New York City, according to reports which appear in New York papers. Residents who live in the vicinity of the intersection of Broadway and One Hundred and Fourth Street are in a state of terror from the violent blasting going on underneath their residences, which breaks windows, cracks walls, and jars down sections of ceilings, throws down pictures from the walls and dishes from the tables, breaks locks in the doors, and wrenches the woodwork out of place, and, in general, renders their homes miserable and unsafe places of abode. Formal complaints have been made by them to the mayor and to the board of health, but without any satisfaction thus far.
— A Washington telegram announces that at a meeting held at the White House, March 24, the birthday of the forthcoming Cuban republic was decided upon, the date fixed being May 20. The administration of Cuban affairs will then be turned over to the newly elected Cuban officials, and the American army of occupation will be withdrawn, but a small force of soldiers will be left, apparently as a sort of police force, to maintain order. “President Roosevelt informed President Palma,” says the dispatch, “that this country had no intention of keeping any considerable body of troops in the island,” and that the wishes of the Cuban government “would be largely, if not entirely, deferred to.” An American minister-plenipotentiary at Havana will be appointed, and this act will be a formal notice to the world that the United States acknowledges the independence of Cuba. The Old World powers will then follow suit, and appoint representatives at the Cuban capital.

An Important Day

SABBATH, April 5, will be an important day in all our churches throughout the entire country. It will be the regular quarterly meeting occasion, when we trust all will celebrate the ordinances of the Lord's house in a spirit of devotion and consecration such as has never been experienced before. Every ordinance meeting should be more important than the preceding one as we near the close of probation.
Upon this occasion will be read an appeal sent to our churches with reference to the Missionary Acre Fund, a subject of vast importance. No donation will be asked for that fund, but we hope that all will listen to the appeal, and then in the near future study over the matter, and decide what can be done to aid the cause by sowing and reaping for the Lord. We trust that every one will consider the matter seriously and act liberally.
The entire donation taken in the Sabbath-school and church for the day will go into the regular collection for the benefit of the Orphans' and Old People's Homes. During the last three years I have known more or less of these institutions. I have held meetings frequently in both places, and having become more thoroughly acquainted with their management, I can truly say that I feel a deeper interest in both Homes than before. I believe that they are being conducted on right principles. I know the employees of both institutions to be conscientious, God-fearing persons, and could those who read this article see the devotion and faithfulness on the part of those who care for the children and the aged people, their hearts would be touched, and they would see that they are trying to do the best they can for the physical and spiritual wants of all connected with the Homes. The children are being educated in that which is practical. They are taught to work, and they are taught the Bible; and could you kneel with them in prayer, and hear their testimonies, you certainly would be encouraged, and fully convinced that a noble work is being accomplished in their behalf. Every dollar that is given to them is expended economically, and the helpers receive very moderate wages.
The old people appreciate the meetings that have been held with them. Their testimonies are fervent, and many of them who have no means will do anything they are capable of doing to earn a few dimes for the comfort of some one else. One aged sister has gone out among the townspeople, kindly prayed and labored with them, and presented the needs of our foreign work, and has brought in several dollars to aid in the foreign mission work.
These two noble institutions stand in need of our sympathy, and they should share not only in our sympathy, but in our donations. On account of changes that have taken place since the burning of the Sanitarium, it has been difficult for these Homes to get along. Now, reader, on Sabbath, April 5, will you not remember these institutions? A few dimes and dollars may not be seriously missed by each donor, but when these sums are placed in the contribution, in the aggregate they will make a liberal sum for the support of these two institutions during the next six months. Who will remember to aid in the contribution of April 5? Let none forget.

What Have You Decided to Do?

By S. H. Lane

We are glad that many of our brethren and sisters throughout the field are volunteering to aid in the Missionary Acre Fund by planting gardens, and larger parcels of land,—some, one quarter of an acre; others, one or two acres; and some as many as five or six acres.
Different kinds of grain are to be planted, or sown, such as cotton, corn, wheat, oats, flax, cane, buckwheat, and millet, also potatoes. Some are donating the hay which will grow on an acre or more of land. Others are giving the proceeds received from a definite number of sheep, cows, hens, ducks, or turkeys. Some will donate the fruit of the tree or the vineyard.
Surely the Lord will be pleased as He sees hundreds of acres planted to aid His cause. His blessing will surely rest upon the land to make it fruitful, and a blessing to His cause, as well as a blessing to the one who donates the use of the land, and performs the labor. Times are prosperous. All products of the field and orchard bring good prices. Labor is abundant, therefore money is plenty, and now is the time to give means to help the cause of God out of debt.
All money secured from the Missionary Acre Fund will be used in purchasing the old Battle Creek College buildings, that a place may be provided where doctors and nurses may be educated. This will be a great aid to the Sanitarium in carrying on its noble work of training laborers for the great harvest field.
If any cannot plant gardens to aid this work, and desire to contribute money, please send a donation to the Treasurer of the General Conference, H. M. Mitchell, Battle Creek, Mich. Please state definitely the purpose for which you send the money. Who will aid in this grand work? S. H. LANE.

BOOTH.—Rachel D. Booth was born in Manchester, N. Y., June 8, 1820. At an early age she became a member of the Baptist Church. Soon after coming to Michigan in 1870, she was deeply impressed with the importance of examining carefully the foundation of her faith, which resulted in her accepting the teaching of the Seventh-day Adventists, becoming a member of the Flint church. She passed away Feb. 5, 1902, at the home of her son, Andrew J. Wilson, of Chesaning, Mich., after an attack of la grippe, aged 81 years, 7 months, 27 days.

BUSS.—Died at Springfield, Mass., March 12, 1902, of heart disease, after many years’ suffering, A. P. Buss, aged 73 years. Brother Buss was a Methodist until 1890, when his attention was called to the coming of the Lord and the Sabbath. As soon as the message was made plain from the Bible, his love for the inspired word and his willingness to obey the Lord, led him to accept it. He died in faith, looking to the coming of the Lord as the realization of his hope. We laid him to rest in the Worcester Cemetery, waiting the coming of Him who is the resurrection and the life. Funeral service was conducted by the writer. A. H. CLARK.

His last days were his best days. A short time before his death, God was pleased to give him a bright experience, and he died triumphantly. The funeral was held in the United Brethren church near his residence. A large audience of friends and neighbors testified to the esteem in which he was held in the community. Discourse was given by the writer, from Job. 19:25–27. L. G. MOORE.
DOW.—Died at East Richford, Vt., March 4, 1902, of consumption, Hanford Dow, son of Mr. and Mrs. David T. Dow, aged 18 years, 7 months, and 4 days. Hannie was a great sufferer from childhood. At the early age of seven years he was taken with inflammatory rheumatism, becoming an almost helpless invalid, and was never able to walk after that. A few months ago he was taken with consumption, which was the immediate cause of his death. He had much time to meditate; and under the guiding influence of Christian parents, he was early led to trust in his Saviour. He bore his intense sufferings with patience and Christian fortitude, and, after encouraging his family and friends to be faithful, he quietly fell asleep in Jesus, with clear evidence and full confidence of soon coming up clothed with immortality. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. H. E. RICKARD.
ECCLES.—Died at the United Fruit Company’s Hospital, Bocas del Toro, Colombia, S. A., Jan. 18, 1902, Dr. John Eccles, aged 51 years, 5 months. He was born in Madras, India, in 1850, where he lived until he was about thirteen years old. His parents then moved to Canada, where he remained until he was a young man, and then went to Michigan. In 1877 he went to the Sanitarium in Battle Creek for treatment, where he accepted the truth. Shortly after this he was united in marriage to Miss Martha Crane, of Sheboygan. The first eight years of their married life were spent in labor at the Sanitarium, after which he engaged in nursing most of the time until 1893, when he entered the University of Pennsylvania as a medical student, and was graduated in 1896. In March, 1900, he and his wife came to the Central American Mission Field, South, and located at the island of Saint Andrews, Colombia. His last illness began the last week of September, when he was prostrated with septicemia. He was a great sufferer during his sickness, but bore all patiently. From the first he had but little hope of recovering. His faith and courage in God were strong till the last. He was laid to rest January 19, at the Macca Hill Cemetery, Bocas del Toro. Friends showed great kindness to Sister Eccles, who faithfully stood by her loved one till the last. Funeral services were conducted by the writer at the hospital where he died. F. J. HUTCHINS.

Spring Term at Cedar Lake

By J. G. Lamson

The academy board at its last sitting decided to hold a spring term at Cedar Lake, provided twenty students are found who are desirous of attending. Quite a number have already decided to take the work of the spring term, but not as many as we can accommodate. We will be able to give more work to students who attend during the spring term than during other terms, and consequently there is less money to pay. The text-book work will be confined mainly to a study of the common branches, and earnest efforts will be made to help every one who comes to acquire thorough efficiency in these fundamental branches.
Please address the principal immediately if you are able to come, advising him how much you are able to pay a month in money, your age, kind of work with which you are familiar, and what classes you desire to take up. The term will begin May 12, and continue twelve weeks. J. G. LAMSON, Principal.

A Suggestion

By L. L. Lawrence

SINCE coming to the South, about five years ago, I have had many inquiries concerning this field, from persons who have been impressed to locate here for the purpose of helping in the work that God has so long been calling upon His people to do.
After much prayer and study, I was led to undertake a work which God has blessed in developing, and which I have proved by an actual experience of three years to be practical and never failing in its results.
I have secured a beautiful piece of land on one of the pikes, a few miles out from Nashville, and there is room for five or six families who are willing to unite in an unselfish effort to build up the work. A church school will be established in the center of a beautiful wooded park, and the place will otherwise be made as attractive as we know how to make it.
Each acre of land can be made to produce an annual profit of more than one hundred dollars, but it is desired that only those will come who have a real burden for the work. Upon application, I will give full particulars.
L. L. LAWRENCE. 811 Buscobel St., Nashville, Tenn.

A Place for Health

THE Southern California Conference has a small farm of ten acres in Riverside County, at the foot of the mountains, which was donated to aid in conference work. It is in the most healthful part of Southern California, being in what is called “the citrous belt.” That is a line around the foot of the mountains, above the frost of the valleys, yet cool in summer, making the temperature more even than in any other part during the whole year.
Seven acres of this farm are in various kinds of fruit, such as pears, peaches, figs, apricots, grapes, etc.
I would not recommend this place as one where a living can be made for a family; but if there is among our people a family having other means of support, who must go to some place where they can have this climate to save a loved one from a consumptive’s grave, or to get relief from rheumatic troubles, or who wish to avoid the extremes of heat and cold of the Eastern States, I know of no better place in all California.
There is a four-room house, a small barn, and a good well. The farm is six miles from the railroad station of Murrieta. The price is $500. The money will be used in the cause. Any one desiring to inquire further, will address Clarence Santee, 143 Carr St., Los Angeles, Cal.

“From Eden to Eden”

THIS book, by J. H. Waggoner, is a most interesting study of the more important historic and prophetic portions of the Scriptures. The author traces the world in its career from the time when “God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good,” on through the period while “the earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof,” to the future glorious time when Christ will say to His followers, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you,” under the following heads: In the Beginning; The Promise of God to the Fathers; Steps of the Faith of Abraham; The Covenant with Israel; An Important Question Settled; The Kingdom and Its King; The Time of Setting up the Kingdom; Heirs of the Kingdom; The Hour of Judgment; Babylon Is Fallen; The Commandments and the Faith; The Seal and the Mark; Signs of the Second Coming of Christ; The Resurrection of the Dead; The Restoration of the First Dominion.
Recently this book was placed in the possession of a minister in Ohio who has had an important charge for twenty years, and he became so impressed with it that he has applied for the right to sell it to the members of his own church. He calls it “a wonderful book.”
It contains 264 pages, and many full-page illustrations , and is bound in two neat and durable styles, with prices as follows:— Brown English cloth, plain stamp, embossed in jet and gold, marbled edges....................$1.00 Dark-blue English cloth, emblematic design in gold, silver, and jet, with gold edges.....$1.50 Also issued in German and French at the same prices. Order of your State Tract Society.

“Here and Hereafter”

“HERE AND HEREAFTER” is the title of a book written by the well-known author, Uriah Smith, upon the nature of man,—his here and his hereafter,—fully and clearly answering the question, “Is man immortal?” It defeats Spiritualism, which appeals to the popular views of the condition of man in death as a foundation for its claims. It reveals the teachings of the Scripture so clearly that purgatory, saint worship, Universalism, and a host of other errors, which are based on the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, are shown to have no divine authority and no Scriptural right to exist.
The entire doctrine of the immortality of the soul is traced from Satan’s first lie, “Ye shall not surely die,” to its ultimate end, in the order illustrated in the accompanying cut.
Those who study the book and examine the testimony of the scriptures therein brought forth, will be convinced of the truth made clear in the illustration.
There is no religious subject at the present time more interesting to the public mind than the here and the hereafter of man, and it is an opportune time to teach the world the truth on this most important question.
The book is 5 x 7¾ x ¾ inches in size, and contains 357 pages, neatly bound in cloth. Price, $1, postpaid. Order of your State Tract Society.

“The Master’s Greatest Monosyllables”

“The Master’s Greatest Monosyllables,” written by Rev. William P. Pearce, is an attractive and helpful book of 132 pages. The great monosyllables—Come, Go, Do, Lo—are treated, showing their rich significance. While the author does not lack originality, he presents a large number of the wisest and most inspiring gems from other minds, in verse and prose. Bible references are given at foot of page. The treatment of the first of these monosyllables expresses many precious truths of evangelism, the second of missions, the third of general Christian activity, and the fourth is well designed to inspire a trustful waiting upon the Lord. How fully our times fulfill the prophecies of the times immediately to precede the second advent of Christ may be questioned, but the glory of His coming is emphasized with telling effect. The reader is left in a very devoted state of mind, stronger in faith, richer in spirit. The book is printed neatly, cloth bound, and is published by the Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.—The Christian World, Reformed Church Organ.
Price..........50 cts., postpaid.

“Modern Spiritualism”

SPIRITUALISM treated from the standpoint of the Scriptures, by Elder Uriah Smith. Its nature clearly revealed by the inspired word. Believers in the Scriptures can have no doubt lingering in their minds about this great power after studying it as presented in “Modern Spiritualism.”
It contains 156 pages. In pamphlet form 20 cts.; bound in cloth, 40 cts., postpaid.

“Scriptural Foundations of Science”

MANY throughout our ranks have for a long time expressed a desire for something along the line of the Bible as a text-book in science. Those who desire such a work at the present time should secure a copy of “The Scriptural Foundations of Science.” This book retails at a price within the reach of all, only 75 cts., postpaid.¹ The first edition is going very rapidly; is now more than half gone. If a copy is desired, it should be secured as early as possible. Order of your State Tract Society.

Sabbath-School Lessons

THE International Sabbath-School Quarterly, No. 28, containing Sabbath-school lessons for the second quarter of 1902, is just out. Orders can be filled promptly.
