AT a recent session of the executive committee of California Conference at Healdsburg, teachers were located for twenty-five church-schools to commence the coming fall. Ten or more schools are yet to be provided for.
A CORRESPONDENCE school in connection with Healdsburg (Cal.) College will be opened October 1. Applications should be made at once, inclosing a membership fee of $1.00, to Mrs. Alma McKibben, Healdsburg, Cal.
A SERIES of tent-meetings is being held in Philadelphia, Pa., by Brother E. E. Franke, and a good attendance is reported. The tent is located at Forty-first Street and Parkside Avenue. The effort is sustained by an efficient company of workers.
A COMMENDABLE enterprise is noted in the Atlantic Union Gleaner. Three students of South Lancaster (Mass.) Academy have procured a large tent of their own, and under the direction of Brother H. H. Dexter, have commenced meetings in Brownfield, Maine.
BROTHER H. S. SHAW says, in the Worker, that "the work in Minnesota is very encouraging. The way the brethren and sisters in the State have taken hold of the work with 'Object Lessons,' and the effect of the work being done, will bring a harvest in time to come that will make hearts glad."
THE Los Angeles Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association was recently incorporated and the following persons chosen as directors: F. B. Moran, M. D., T. J. Evans, M. D., R. S. Owen, C. Santee, S. S. Merrill, W. M. Healey, and T. S. Whitelock, M. D. In organizing the board, Dr. Moran was elected president, and S. S. Merrill, secretary.
THE Southern Watchman of the 24th ult. says: "Last Sabbath afternoon there was a colored church organized at Nashville, consisting of fifteen members. Others will unite later. Elders Butler, White, Bollman, and Stone were present, and rendered assistance in the meeting. Officers were elected and ordained, and the church has bright prospects before it."
REPORTING to the Indicator from Buffalo, N. Y., Brother E. E. Connerly says: "Our quarterly-meeting was a season of blessing. Three new members were taken into the church, and five celebrated the ordinances with us for the first time." Brother G. B. Thompson, president of the conference, says that Captain Johnson, of the missionary boat Sentinel, is having excellent success with our books and tracts in Buffalo Harbor.
REPORTING to the Review from Jerusalem, Brother S. Jespersson says: "The medical mission here is doing well at present. Our patients are people of the better classes. Even physicians and pharmacists come for treatment. One pharmacist, who was suffering from stomach trouble, was cured in a short time after coming to us. He now recommends our establishment to his customers, and does what he can for us."
FROM Guadalajara (Mexico) Sanitarium Dr. Erkenbeck writes to the Review: "The work at the mission for the poor has been a great educator to the public. Some of our native brethren are laboring faithfully to penetrate the darkness of superstition and ignorance. Also several native missionaries have been relieved of their physical suffering, and are able to return to their work. Some of the missionaries have stayed with us several weeks to take instruction in giving simple treatments. Better days are before us."
A LETTER from Brother W. A. Sweany, Bridgetown, Barbados, W. I., dated July 15, says: "Our work here is making some advancement, despite difficulties. I baptized two persons at our last quarterly-meeting, making twenty-eight during the year we have been here. A number more are preparing for the ordinance. Some very influential people are interested, and many of the common people hear the message gladly. Our church-school is prospering, and we hope soon to be able to send out some teachers to take charge of local schools in neighboring islands. Several requests have reached us from our brethren who have raised up companies in various fields. We greatly need a well-equipped training-school, and hope soon to see a start made in that direction." Brother Sweany also notes the design to start a paper for that field, in addition to the Beacon series of tracts and leaflets.
FOR the great demand for medical missionary work in Los Angeles, Cal., our sanitarium there needs increased facilities. Dr. Moran says "Los Angeles and vicinity is one of the most fruitful fields for medical missionary work in all the world. This section has become one of the greatest tourist resorts on the continent, from forty to sixty thousand tourists visiting the place every year. The majority of these are seeking health and recuperation, and are greatly in need of just what we should be able to give them." Coming as they do from all parts of the world, the seeds of health-giving and spiritual truth sown among them is in a measure "sowing beside all waters."

GERMAN DEPARTMENT OF WALLA WALLA COLLEGE.
THE trustees of Walla Walla College, College Place, Wash., having ascertained that a number of German young people in that district desired to attend some Seventh-day Adventist college having a German department, have decided to add a German department to that college, with Elder H. J. Schnepper as teacher.
In this department the following studies will be taken up in German the coming year: Reading, writing, and spelling, according to the needs of the pupils; beginning German for English students; German grammar for German students who have not made the grammar a study, and for English students in their second year's work; Rhetoric for advanced students; Bible study; and general history.
The German students will pursue their other studies in the regular classes of the English department, as is done in other colleges having such a department.
This department of the college will open Wednesday, October 1, on which date every student who desires to enter it should be present for classification.
If the year's work proves that there is sufficient demand for it, the German department will be made permanent in this college. Will not our German brethren and sisters rally to the support of this effort so vital to the interests of the German work in the Northwest, influencing worthy young people to enter the college and prepare for work. Let them have your hearty support, your sympathies, your prayers, and your patronage, that the German department at Walla Walla College may be the means of raising up laborers for the German work in the Northwest.

LESSON 9.—AUGUST 30.—THE LIVING PRINCIPLE IN HISTORY.
31 "THOU, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, 32 stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible. As for this image, his head was of fine gold, his breast and his 33 arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, 34 his feet part of iron, and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them; and the stone that smote the 36 image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof 37 before the king. Thou, O king, art king of kings, unto whom 38 the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory; and wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee to 39 rule over them all; thou art the head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. 40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron; forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that 41 crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou 42 sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the 43 feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one 44 to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay. And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces 45 and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter; and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof 46 sure. Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an 47 oblation and sweet odors unto him. The king answered unto Daniel, and said, "Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and 48 the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou hast been able to reveal this secret. Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor 49 over all the wise men of Babylon. And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel was in the gate of the king."

NOTES.
1. IN a view, or vision, the record of which occupies only five verses of the Scripture, the Lord set forth the checkered history and final outcome of "the kingdom of the world," and showed the triumph of the kingdom of righteousness. The purpose of this dream is not to reveal in advance the history of the world. It certainly did all that, but this was simply a necessary step in the greater revelation of the final outcome in the contest between opposing principles. The dream was not given primarily to make it clear that there would be four universal kingdoms, which would arise one after another, but to show the temporary character of all the world kingdoms, and to reveal the nature, the time of setting up, and the eternal duration of the fifth kingdom, the kingdom which the God of heaven would establish. In order that we may have the whole picture clearly before our minds, it will be profitable to sketch the historical fulfilment of the dream, as far as it has been fulfilled up to the present time.
2. THE head of gold represented the Babylonian Empire of the Bible, which was founded in 612 B. C., by a revolt from the Assyrian rule, led by Nabopolassar, the father of Nebuchadnezzar. In 538 B. C., Babylon was conquered by Medo-Persia. Daniel described this kingdom to Nebuchadnezzar as "another kingdom inferior to thee." In B. C. 331 Medo-Persia was conquered by Grecia, under the leadership of Alexander the Great. This was "the third kingdom of brass." In B. C. 168, Grecia was conquered by the Roman power. This final step in the overthrow of the empire of Alexander the Great is mentioned in history as "the great victory gained by the Romans over Perseus, the king of Macedonia." The Roman Kingdom was "the fourth kingdom," which was to be "strong as iron." But of this kingdom it was said, "The kingdom shall be divided." And so it was. By the inroads of the Barbarians from the north, beginning with the invasions of the Visigoths, under the leadership of Alaric, A. D. 395, the Roman Empire was gradually broken in pieces, until, "by the establishment of the Herulian Kingdom of Italy, A. D. 476, the final destruction of the Roman Empire was accomplished." In the place of the Roman Empire, and occupying exactly the same territory, there had been founded ten kingdoms, according to the definite prophecy in the seventh chapter of Daniel. It was "in the days of these kings" that the God of heaven would set up His kingdom, and we may therefore conclude that after A. D. 476 and before the overthrow of these ten kingdoms the kingdom of heaven would be set up, that fifth kingdom which "shall stand forever." The time of the setting up of the fifth kingdom is more definitely determined by other prophecies, which we shall study later.
3. WHILE it is true that this dream and its interpretation do deal with the history of the world from the time of Nebuchadnezzar until the triumph of the kingdom of God in the earth, yet it is equally true that it is not the main purpose of the dream and its interpretation to give a brief outline of the events which we have just mentioned. These facts of history constitute the setting in which is revealed the working out of a great principle. This principle and its working make the real subject of the dream and its interpretation.
26 "AND they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fenced, and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. Amalek dwelleth in the land of the south; and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of Jordan. And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, which come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
1 "And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in the wilderness! And wherefore doth the Lord bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones shall be a prey; were it not better for us to return into Egypt? And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt."

SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS.
(1) What is said of the journey of the spies into the land of Canaan? What did they bring back to show to the people? Verse 26. Note 1. (2) What did the spies say of the land and its products? Verse 27. (3) What was the report concerning the people of the land? Verse 28. (4) How were the hostile nations distributed in the land? Verse 29. Note 2. (5) What encouraging report did Caleb give? Verse 30. Note 3. (6) What reply was made by Caleb's companions? Verse 31. (7) How did they contradict their first report concerning the land? What did they then say of all the people? Verse 32. (8) How did the spies compare the giants with the people of Israel? Verse 33. (9) What effect did this report have upon Israel? Ch. 14:1. (10) Against whom did the people murmur? What bitter regret did they express? Verse 2. Note 4. (11) What further lament did they make? What was their query as to the best thing to do? Verse 3. (12) Compare this with their song after passing the red sea. Exodus 15. (13) What proposition did the people finally make? Verse 4 of lesson. Note 5.
NOTES.
1. Israel had encamped at Kadesh, from which point twelve men, a picked man from each tribe, had been sent into Canaan to spy out the land and to bring word again to the people. After a forty days' investigation the spies returned, bringing specimens of the fruits.
2. In every undertaking connected with the work of the Lord there are difficulties. These are God's opportunities for showing us that without Him we can do nothing. And these are our opportunities for gaining great victories in the name of the Lord. They are tests of faith in Him who has all power in heaven and in earth. God does not want us to think we can overcome great obstacles alone, for that is the sure forerunner of defeat.
3. Caleb had seen all that the doubters had seen, the walled cities and the giants, but he saw beyond them the powerful arm of Him who had promised victory and rest to His people. And forty years afterward, when the doubting spies had perished in the wilderness, Caleb was permitted, with his own immediate family and servants, to overcome the dreaded giants and to possess their land about Hebron without other help from Israel. And this because "he had another Spirit with him." Chap. 14: 24. Joshua also, who joined Caleb in the favorable report, was permitted to have a leading part in the final entry and possession of the promised land. Num. 14: 6-9; Joshua 19: 49-51.
4. And the Lord gave them their choice. He let them die in the wilderness. And thousands of professed children of God are making a like choice today. They are, in practical life, choosing Egypt and the world-wilderness rather than to battle for final victory under the banner of "the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." And the people of the world are free to make their choice as to whom they will serve. Salvation is freely offered; the invitation is earnestly extended; the love of God has made the necessary sacrifice; "whosoever will" may "take the water of life freely;" but there is no compulsion.
5. The proposition to make another captain was really a compliment to Moses, tho not so intended. Moses had so far proven his loyalty to the cause of freedom, and his faith in the leadership of God, that the rebels knew they could not expect him to lead them back to Egypt. And that is the kind of life every Christian should lead, a life so positive that he will not be deemed available for any sinister purpose. Each one should be able to say, "The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me." John 14: 30.
