Obituaries

“I am the resurrection and the life,”—Jesus.

COOPER.—Born Nov. 15, 1895; died Jan. 9, 1902, near Middle Valley, Idaho, of diphtheria, our little Bessie. She was an active child, and was loved by all who knew her. We have the blessed assurance that, if faithful a little longer, we shall meet her again, never to part. MR. AND MRS. C. N. COOPER.

ROBINSON.—Died at Bridgewater, S. D., March 27, 1902. Brother Luther Robinson, aged 82 years. For twenty-four years he had been a consistent member of the Seventh-day Adventist church. He leaves to mourn an aged companion, with whom he has walked for forty-eight years, a son, and a daughter. J. W. B.

MITCHELL.—Born in Jefferson County, Ind., Nov. 20, 1889; died in Caney, Kan., after an illness of two years, Brother Daniel K. Mitchell. He had been an Adventist for more than thirty years. He died in the full assurance of faith. Funeral service was conducted by Elder Boyd (Baptist). MRS. E. T. BURCH.

HENDRICKSON.—Died at Hewett, Minn., March 6, 1902, Sister Hendrickson, aged 41 years, 4 months, and 7 days. She loved the truth, and died in the triumph of a living faith. She leaves a husband and seven children. Words of comfort were spoken to a large congregation of friends, from Rev. 14:13; John 14:14. GEO. M. DIMMICK.

JOHNSON.—Died in San Pasqual, Cal., Feb. 14, 1902, Arthur White Johnson, third son of Henry and Florence Johnson, aged 20 years. He had been attending Healdsburg College, but was taken sick, and returned home, where, after ten weeks of patient suffering, he passed away. He had never made a public profession of religion, but fully made his peace with God while on his bed of sickness, and gave evidence that he was prepared to go. We sorrow not as those who have no hope. Funeral services were conducted at the Adventist church, by Elder R. S. Owen (formerly of Healdsburg College), assisted by Elder C. Santee and Elder Ralph Miller. FLORENCE S. JOHNSON.

McGREW.—Born in Ohio, May 14, 1831; died in Denver, Colo., Feb. 21, 1902, Catherine McGrew. Sister McGrew became a Christian when only nine years of age, and united with the Methodist Church. About twenty-six years ago, while living near Sigourney, Iowa, she accepted the faith of Seventh-day Adventists, and from that time has been one of the remnant who “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Her long life has ever been one of busy, unselfish work for others. She loved the truth, and was constantly seeking to enlighten other hearts with the blessed hope. Knowing that her death was near, she called her children around her bedside, and gave calm, Christian, and motherly counsel to each one, and to all the relatives present, and said: “My work is done; I am ready to go.” She fell asleep in Jesus, and rests in hope of a part in the first resurrection. H. M. J. RICHARDS.

HAFENMAYR.—Sister Rosa Hafenmayr died Jan. 27, 1902, at her home, in Portsmouth, Va. She was an earnest member of the Portsmouth Seventh-day Adventist church, and will be remembered for her acts of love. She leaves a husband, the elder of the church, and a little girl. The service was conducted by Elder I. E. Kimball and the writer. LEE S. WHEELER.

DROWN.—Died of pneumonia and heart trouble, Mrs. Carrie Bullock Drown, March 20, 1902, at Cederville, Quebec. She was born June 26, 1872, and was united in marriage June 23, 1896. Though she was a follower of Jesus from an early age, in 1895 she saw and gladly accepted the light of the third angel’s message and Sabbath truth; and she always after adhered very firmly to these principles. The Bible was her constant companion and guide. She lived until the very last with the strongest hopes of recovering health, and of going on in her service for the Master. Though she was a great sufferer for the last few years of her life, she bore her sufferings with remarkable patience. She was dearly loved by all who knew her worth, and we rejoice that she sleeps in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by a brother-in-law, Elder H. E. Rickard. Text, Heb. 4:3.

Lake Union Conference Report and Supplement

By Editor

THE report of the Lake Union Conference, which is printed on page sixteen, is a stirring one. Every union conference makes a decided victory, and promises good things for the future. Let us thank the Lord for these indications of revival in his work, and let us press forward with courage and hope. Pray for great things, believe for great things, act for great things.

THE Supplement which accompanies this issue of the REVIEW is filled with matter which will be of interest to all our readers. We call special attention to the article dealing with the question of canvassers for England.

The Growth of Mormonism

SECRETARIES of the home missionary societies of all the leading Protestant bodies in the United States, have united in sounding an alarm to the public regarding the encroachments of Mormonism. In a statement which they have prepared, and sent for publication, they say:—

We are moved to this statement by the vitality which the Mormon system has shown, not only in Western States and Territories, but generally throughout the country. We are persuaded that Christian people have no adequate conception of that vitality, nor of the methods, seductive and often successful, by which the hateful system is being pressed upon the public attention. . . .

The ambition of Mormons, which they do not even conceal, is to secure control of State after State until, by means of the balance of power, they may make national legislation against Mormonism impossible. Toward this end they are moving by an organization as compact and skillfully devised for its purpose as any that ever engaged the activities of man. . . .

It is rapidly growing. The Mormon hierarchy has an unyielding grip on the machinery of the State of Utah and upon all its political and educational interests. Though often denied, there is no doubt that its practice of polygamy continues, in defiance of all the promises made to the United States when Statehood was granted.

Its power in contiguous States and Territories is increasing at an alarming rate. By means of colonization it has so affected the States of Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Nevada, and the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, that it will soon secure, if it has not already secured, practical political control in all that region.

Its missionary activity throughout the Union is almost incredible. It claims to have now 2,000 missionaries in the field,—1,400 of them in the Southern States,—and to have made last year 20,000 converts. Mormons are also establishing missions in foreign countries on a large scale.

For these and many other reasons we make our appeal to the public. We urge upon pastors and teachers to unveil to their people and pupils this system, so seductive and dangerous to all the best interests of every community and of our country. We urge upon the public press the duty of educating the public conscience by unsparingly giving the facts of the nature and the work of Mormonism, and we appeal to Christian and patriotic people everywhere to resist, wherever it appears, a system hostile at once to our free institutions and our Christian faith.

There is no doubt that Mormonism is rapidly growing. But it would be a long time, even at the rate of growth here described, before Mormonism could in any way compare as a political power with the papal hierarchy, which is no less "hostile at once to our free institutions and our Christian faith."

Changes to the Review and Herald

By I. H. Evans

Announcement

AFTER giving the matter careful consideration, and conferring with the brethren who were in attendance at the recent council in Battle Creek, the trustees of the Publishing Association have decided to change the form and general make-up of the REVIEW AND HERALD, as appears from the present issue. The trustees are confident that the readers of the REVIEW will be pleased with the changes made, although it may require a few weeks to become familiar with the new form. The twenty-two pages in the body of the paper in its present size, aside from the title-page and the publishers' page, contain almost exactly the same amount of reading matter as was contained in the old form. The smaller size of the page will make the paper more convenient in handling, and facilitate the division into its various departments. The trustees indulge the hope that in its new form the REVIEW will be a welcome visitor in more homes than ever before, and will continue to be a powerful agency in spreading the last message.

I. H. EVANS, President of the Board of Trustees.

April Good Health Contents

THE April number of Good Health presents a varied and interesting table of contents.

The World-wide Field

By Editor

We open a new department in this issue of the REVIEW. Under the heading "The World-wide Field," we shall publish articles descriptive of the countries and peoples "in the regions beyond," whence the Macedonian cry is constantly sounding, "Come over . . . and help us." These articles will be illustrated, and we hope they will serve to keep our readers in close sympathy with the needs of these mission fields.

Sample Copies of the Review

Do not forget that sample copies of the REVIEW can be obtained any time at this Office, and will be sent free on application by those who can use a number to advantage in extending its circulation. Efforts put forth to extend the circulation of the REVIEW will be missionary work in the truest sense.

Sanitarium Managers’ Experiences Since the Fire

In his article, which begins on page twenty-one, Dr. J. H. Kellogg gives a comprehensive summary of the experiences of the Sanitarium managers since the fire, with some further information as to the plans for the new building. Although the article is rather long, yet in view of the importance of the subject, and the interesting way in which it is dealt with, we feel sure that all will read it throughout.

A Threefold Jubilee

By Percy T. Magan

At the session of the Lake Union Conference which began March 27, much attention was given to the effort for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” A number of meetings overflowing with Christian enthusiasm have been held concerning this work. These will be more fully reported hereafter. The Michigan Conference Committee has passed a vote to order from the publishing house Michigan’s entire quota of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” The Ohio Conference Committee has voted to do likewise. It is the intention of all the conferences in the Lake Union Conference to do their best to finish this work by June 1, 1902.

A hearty vote was also taken, approving of the plan for the sale of Dr. Kellogg’s new book, “The Living Temple,” for the benefit of our sanitariums. The idea was strongly indorsed by the entire conference that we must first work all together to lift our schools out of debt, then make a strong pull, by means of “The Living Temple,” to get our sanitariums out of debt, and follow this with a third pull to get the publishing houses out of debt. When these grand objects have been accomplished, what a glorious, threefold jubilee we shall have!

P. T. MAGAN.
