Six persons were baptized and united with the church at Antigo, Wis., July 8.
At the last quarterly meeting at Hagerstown, Md., six names were added to the church roll.
At the recent quarterly meeting five members were added to the church at Huron, S. D.
At the last quarterly meeting of the church at Stoughton, Wis., four members were added.
The Minnesota Worker notes the baptism of four candidates at Houston, and four others at Frazee, in that State.
The force of laborers in Jamaica, W. I., has been augmented by the addition of Brother W. J. Tanner and wife, of Battle Creek, Mich.
At Redfield, S. D., Brother W. G. Kneeland and company have secured the use of the school grounds as a location for their meeting tent.
Brother K. C. Russell has located his family at South Lancaster, Mass., and will labor in New England Conference the coming year.
July 15 a new house of worship was dedicated at Pueblo, Colo., clear of all incumbrance. Brother J. M. Rees, president of the conference, officiated.
In connection with meetings held at Miller, Neb., by Brother J. W. Boynton, eight persons have decided to walk in all the commandments of God.
Six persons united with the church at Keene, N. Y., July 7. The Indicator also mentions two recent converts at Newburgh, and two at West Pierrepont.
July 8 a new house of worship was dedicated at Baraboo, Wis. Brother William Covert preached the dedicatory sermon, and a number of other ministering brethren were present.
The recent camp-meeting at Valley City, North Dakota, was a profitable occasion, according to the report in the Dakota Worker. Twenty-two candidates were baptized, among them several youths.
Brother S. N. Haskell, accompanied by his wife, left this city on the 30th ult., for Mt. Vernon, O., to attend the educational council at that place. The previous Sabbath and Sunday they had spoken in this city and Alameda.
The German church at Childstown, S. D., was greatly edified on the 2d ult., by the addition of sixteen young people, from 10 to 16 years of age. Eight were baptized on that day, and eight had been baptized at the Sioux Falls camp-meeting.
A report in the Keystone Gleaner, from Brethren J. H. Schilling and S. B. White, who have been laboring at Allentown, Pa., notes the baptism of five persons. Others were soon to follow, and some had accepted the message presented who had been previously baptized.
As a result of meetings held at Creede, Colo., Brethren G. W. Anglebarger and W. F. Hills report the baptism of seven candidates, among them a Presbyterian minister of twenty years' standing. There is now a Sabbath-school of eighteen members. The report also notes the baptism of two persons at Monte Vista.
The Newburgh, N. Y., News gives space to a lengthy article by Brother G. S. Honeywell, on the subject of "The War Cloud and Its Relation to Future Events." The newspapers of the land are now open for both news and views concerning the signs of the times. Will those who know the truth for these last days take advantage of the opportunities before them?
No. 8 of the Religious Liberty Library, bearing date July 16, is entitled "The Rights of the Minority." It should be read especially by the majority, or at least that portion of them who think that minorities have no rights which majorities are bound to respect. The tract costs one cent, but can be had cheaper in quantities. It is published by the International Religious Liberty Association, 324 Dearborn Street, Chicago, Ill.
The Wisconsin Reporter notes that tent-meetings are being held by our Indian minister, Brother Matthew Hill, on the Oneida Reservation. The report says: "The Indians are very much interested in their native preacher, and offer him all kinds of help, that he may succeed in this their new enterprise. There was some opposition to Brother Hill's work on the part of the ministers on the reservation, but the government agent informed Brother Hill that he, being a native Indian, had the right to preach to the people." It is not strange to find professed Christians (even ministers) who will oppose the preaching of the Gospel of Christ anywhere; but it would be a strange theory of republican government that would forbid it.
Divine Ideals and Holy Purposes.—Moral Safeguards and Temptations
By W. S. Sadler
DEMORALIZATION OF THE YOUNG MAN. No. 6.
[All rights reserved.]
Divine Ideals and Holy Purposes.—Moral Safeguards and Temptations.
WHAT has the parent done to inspire the young man with high and holy ambitions? What have father and mother done to hold up before their son the possibilities and beauties of a life of faithfulness, rectitude, integrity, and morality? A high and holy ambition on the part of the young man, a great and noble object in life, constitutes one of the strongest safeguards that may be thrown about the youth of the rising generation. Let every young man, in all sincerity and honesty, ask himself the following question: What is my object in life? Is it simply to maintain an existence, much the same as that which the lower orders of the animal creation instinctively seek to maintain, or do I sincerely desire to make myself, my associates, and the world better for having lived?
It may be the young man exhibits special talents. Perhaps he has a strong inclination along some particular line of work or study. This is all well and good if the ultimate objects are worthy, useful, and practical. The effort which a young man often puts forth to attain the end of his aspirations will constitute in itself a most valuable safeguard against his being entangled by the snares of vice and the nets of evil. One of the most powerful auxiliaries to the development of a sinless character is the possession of a sinless purpose. To the extent and with the intensity that the youth of to-day may be led by sanctified ambition to pursue a noble purpose, to that extent will the harvest of their experience yield the fruits of a useful life and a noble character. If the service of God, the work of God, and the glory of God were only held up more continuously and perseveringly before our young men, how many might be saved from the snares of the enemy, to become bright and shining lights in the proclamation of the glorious Gospel to a fallen world!
Disrespect for Age and Disregard of Parental Advice.
The disrespect shown by the average youth of to-day for his seniors and superiors is indeed astonishing. It indicates a grave tendency on the part of the young man to magnify his own judgment and opinions at the expense of the more mature and experienced judgment of his parents and older advisers, and indirectly suggests the overlooking of a vital point in the early training of the child. A great deal concerning the future career of a young man may be determined by his regard for his parents and by his respect for religion. A young man who dares to disregard or place a light estimate upon either the counsel or the religion of his Christian parents, is allowing himself to drift into a most dangerous attitude, and is liable at any time to find himself side-tracked onto a highway that will ultimately bring him much sorrow.
The Gambling Instinct, Speculation, Card-Playing, etc.
"He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Rom. 8:32. The plan of salvation is a means whereby man may come into the possession of a divine character, and obtain a glorious and everlasting inheritance. For this character, this inheritance, he pays nothing. He receives it as a gift, free. He gets it by grace. Notwithstanding the old adage, "Don't expect to get something for nothing," God has arranged a plan whereby fallen man may receive something, yes, everything, for nothing. So, in accordance with the Creator's willingness to thus bountifully bestow His riches upon us, His destitute and needy children, He has undoubtedly put a motive, an instinct, as it were, in the hearts of all men to seek for and desire to obtain this grand and glorious inheritance, as well as the priceless treasure of a sinless character. This desire that God has placed in the wicked man to be better, to get good, is nothing more nor less than a desire to receive something (goodness) for nothing (tho by grace), for the God that put this desire in the heart of man well knew that no effort which man could put forth could ever secure for him his hearts' desire for righteousness.
The gambling mania, so highly developed in many young men, is but a Satanic perversion of the divinely-implanted desire to obtain great riches,—heavenly riches,—for nothing. The enemy of the youth is constantly at work seeking to neutralize or utilize the great plans of God, and it is thus that Satan takes this heaven-born desire to gain possession of the inestimable blessings of eternal life, and so successfully perverts and lowers it to his own nefarious designs and purposes that we find many a promising young man of to-day wholly absorbed and completely fascinated with the "gambling craze."
It is thus that the devil has made one more masterful effort to steal the livery of heaven with which to accomplish his purpose of destroying the youth. And even thousands of professed Christian parents will allow cards, the very emblem of the gambling hell, to be brought into the home, and handled by their children, and thus, by their admission to the family hearth, be dignified in the eyes of the youth. Many argue that the cards themselves can do no harm. To this we reply, No young man ever took his second drink until after he had taken the first, and so but few young men are enticed into gambling who know nothing of cards.
Church Fairs, Lotteries, etc., and Their Relation to Gambling.
We can not finally leave the subject of gambling without calling attention to the many questionable methods and devices employed in connection with church fairs, religious socials, etc. It certainly seems to us that this is but a sort of religio-gambling carried on under, and dignified (?) by, the guise of religion and charity. We would not have the reader understand that it is our desire to cast a reflection upon either the church or the motives of those under whose supervision these things are carried forward, but we do wish, if possible, to point out the demoralizing influence arising from these church fairs and the miniature gambling paraphernalia, which is so often present in some form.
Do these things, or do they not, assist the wayward young man of to-day in his fight against the human tendency to speculate? Christian workers, parents, and reformers, above all others, should seek to throw about the young man every possible influence of an elevating nature, as well as to exclude those influences and practises which have a tendency, directly or indirectly, to confuse his judgment, muddle his discrimination, and thus, in the end, contribute their share to the contamination of his morals. W. S. SADLER.
NATURAL RIGHTS.
By A. Smith
GOD approves of play in children. In its proper time and place recreation is their right. Respect the little maiden as she plays "keeping house." Mother, call upon your little daughter, if you possibly can, and greet her with the respect and courtesy that you would show toward real housekeepers. You may impress her plastic mind with the most precious lessons of the nursery.
Brother, don't enter your little sister's play-house with muddy shoes. Take off your hat, and behave in every way as a gentleman ought to behave toward a lady, and then, when you become older, it will be easy and natural for you to be polite. The little housekeeper's dolls are her property, and you may bring real grief to her heart by despising or ridiculing them, or you may make her happy by commending their excellence, and her thoughtfulness and neatness in caring for them.
O, what seeds of deceit and hatefulness are13often sown in the minds of little girls by misusing the apparently unimportant circumstances of childhood life, seeds that ripen in after years, as the little girls grow into the disagreeable wives and mothers that curse many a home! The griefs and joys of little children are just as real to them as are like passions to older people. Mothers, you had better sympathize with your children in their little losses and disappointments than to chill the warmth of their sensibilities by your words or manner. Point them to the sympathetic Jesus. Lend a helping hand, and show the little maiden a better way to manage her household duties, or her pet kitties, or domestic fowls. Teach your little sons and daughters that birds and animals are God's creatures, and that they have their God-given rights, and are entitled to kind treatment. Lessons thus early impressed will usually blossom out into domestic felicity in after years.
The wind blew high, and the wind blew loud,
And the billows rolled like a heaving cloud,
And the white foam rose to meet the shroud
Which hovered o'er the sea,
And madly swept a vessel proud
On the lake of Galilee.
Both heart and hand were busy there,
Flapping, the rent sail whirled in air;
All eyes sought heaven in despair;
The dark depths yawned below;
And ashen lips were then at prayer,
Which cursed an hour ago.
'Twas war 'twixt man and deep and sky,
'Twas roar of wave 'gainst human cry,
While death hung darkly from on high,
And no reprieve;
The storm alone howled fiercely by,
And moaned, "Believe."
What joy and hope were in that tone—
God makes the ocean serve His own;
One faithful sailor heard that moan
Who knew the Lord,
And cried, "We are not left alone;
Where man is, there is God"!
"Awake the Master from His sleep."
"Awake, O Master; still the deep!
Awake, Thy holy vigil keep,
Or we must die;
The mighty waves above us leap,
And death is nigh."
The Master spoke; the storm had fled,
With all its load of fear and dread;
The tattered sails again were spread
Beneath the sun;
The storm-tossed vessel onward sped;
The port was won,
Awake—not Christ; He does not sleep
Awake, my soul, thy vigil keep;
A storm may rise upon the deep
To shatter thee,
And drive thee in its maddening sweep,
A wreck at sea.

HOW A BOY SUCCEEDED.
Boys sometimes think they can not afford to be manly and faithful to the little things. A story is told of a boy of the right stamp, and what came of his faithfulness.
A few years ago a large drug firm in New York City advertised for a boy. Next day the store was filled with applicants, among them a queer-looking little fellow, accompanied by a woman, who proved to be his aunt, in lieu of faithless parents, by whom he had been abandoned. Looking at this waif, the advertiser said: "Can't take him; places all full. Besides, he is too small."
"I know he is small," said the woman; "but he is willing and faithful."
There was a twinkling in the boy's eyes, which made the merchant think again. A partner in the firm volunteered to remark that he "did not see what they wanted with such a boy; he wasn't bigger than a pint of cider." But, after consideration, the boy was set to work.
A few days later a call was made on the boys in the store for some one to stay all night. The prompt response of the little fellow contrasted well with the reluctance of the others. In the middle of the night the merchant looked in to see if all was right in the store, and presently discovered his youthful protége busy scissoring labels.
"What are you doing?" said he. "I did not tell you to work nights."
"I know you did not tell me so, but I thought I might as well be doing something."
In the morning the cashier got orders to "double that boy's wages; for he is willing."
Only a few weeks elapsed before a show of wild beasts passed along the streets; and very naturally all hands in the store rushed to-witness the spectacle. A thief saw his opportunity, and entered at the rear door to seize something, but in a twinkling found himself firmly clutched by the diminutive clerk aforesaid, and after a struggle was captured. Not only was a robbery prevented, but valuable articles taken from other stores were recovered. When asked why he stayed behind to watch when all others quit their work, he replied, "You told me never to leave the store when others were absent, and I thought I'd stay."
Orders were immediately given once more, "Double that boy's wages; he is willing and faithful."
To-day that boy is a member of the firm.—Selected.
Liquor Exports to the Philippines and Cuba
THE exportation of liquors from the United States to the Philippines, increased from $237 in 1898 to $467,198 in the ten months ending June 30, 1900. Liquor exportation to Cuba never exceeded $30,000 per year, previous to 1899, yet during that year it amounted to $629,855. Are our other emblems of civilization so well represented in these dark lands?

LESSON IX.—SUNDAY, AUGUST 26, 1900.
## JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
Lesson Scripture, John 10: 1-16, R.V.
1 "VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them; but they understood not what things they were which He spake unto them.
7 "Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that came before Me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door; by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, 10 and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture. The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. 11 I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd layeth down 12 His life for the sheep. He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them; he fleeth because he is 14 a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good Shepherd; and I know Mine own, and Mine own know Me, 15 even as the Father knoweth Me, and I know the Father; and 16 I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock, one Shepherd."
NOTE.—The place of the present lesson was the vicinity of Jerusalem, and the time of this lesson closely follows that of last week. Study in connection with this lesson psalm 23, and also the following references: Isa. 40: 11; Jer. 31: 10; Zech. 9: 16; Heb. 13: 20, 21; 1 Peter 5: 4; Eze. 34: 1-31. Commit to memory verses 9-11 of the lesson scripture.

NOTES.
1. He that entereth not by the door.—Christ is the door, as He Himself declares; but the leaders of the Jewish nation were seeking to enter the fold by another way. By their traditions and the burdens which they had bound upon the plain precepts of God, they were seeking to build up what was virtually a man-made salvation. It was Christ's work to sweep away the rubbish of human inventions as He swept the temple of its defilers. The true leaders, the true under-shepherds, must enter through Christ; they must be followers of Christ. "The Pharisees had just driven one from the fold, because he dared to bear witness to the power of Christ. They had cut off a soul whom the true Shepherd was drawing to Himself. In this they had shown themselves ignorant of the work committed to them, and unworthy of their trust as shepherds of the flock. Jesus now set before them the contrast between them and the good Shepherd, and He pointed to Himself as the real keeper of the Lord's flock."—Desire of Ages.
2. He calleth His own sheep by name.—The oriental shepherds know their sheep by name, and the sheep recognize their name when it is spoken by their shepherd. Cyrus is said to have been able to call each of his soldiers by name; it is recorded of Themistocles that he could call each Athenian by name; and Plutarch states that Crassus was able to salute every inhabitant of Rome by name; but every member of Christ's flock, scattered tho it may be throughout the world, is known to Him. Jesus says, "I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine." Isa. 43: 1. "I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands." Isa. 49: 16.
3. A stranger will they not follow.—The scribes and Pharisees were strangers. They "had not entered by the door. They had climbed into the fold by another way than Christ, and they were not fulfilling the work of the true Shepherd." They "destroyed the living pastures, and defiled the well-springs of the water of life."—Desire of Ages. The Lord's words to them were: "The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick; neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away; . . . but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them." Eze. 34: 4.
4. All that came before Me are thieves and robbers.—"In all ages philosophers and teachers have been presenting to the world theories by which to satisfy the soul's need. Every heathen nation has had its great teachers and religious systems offering some other means of redemption than Christ. The trend of their work is to rob God of that which is His own, both by creation and redemption. And these false teachers rob man as well. Christ came that He might recreate the image of God in man; and whoever turns men away from Christ, is turning them away from the source of true development; he is defrauding them of the hope and purpose and glory of life. He is a thief and a robber."—Desire of Ages. Christ was not here referring to the prophets, for they were simply His mouthpieces, speaking for Him, speaking His words to the people, giving His call to the sheep who were straying away.
5. Other sheep I have.—This is Christ's own declaration that His mission is world-wide; that there are those in every nation who will hear His voice. This statement is the forerunner of the great commission, "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations." There is but one true flock, one true fold, and one true Shepherd.
6 "But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me; God accepted not man's person)—they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me; but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the gospel of the circumcision (for He that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles); and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, 10 and they unto the circumcision; only they would that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do."
NOTE.—Let the student not only review last week's lesson, fixing clearly in mind all the incidents connected with the meeting in Jerusalem, to which Paul went up fourteen years after his first visit, but also review the first chapter of Galatians, and especially the first five verses of the second chapter, which formed the lesson two weeks ago.
SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS.
Relate the circumstances of Paul's visit to Jerusalem, seventeen years after his conversion.
Who sent him?
What was the question under dispute?
What was involved in it?
Who accompanied him?
What men had raised the question which led to the visit?
How did Paul stand with regard to them?
Why did he not yield anything to them?
Did Paul go up to Jerusalem to become settled as to what he should preach?
How much did he learn from the brethren while there?
What was the reason of this? Was it because he was self-sufficient and unteachable?
What did the leaders among the brethren discern?
What did they therefore do?
Who had been especially chosen by God to preach the Gospel to the uncircumcised heathen?
To whom was committed the work of leading out in teaching the circumcised Jews?
Yet who was it that worked through both?
What was the only suggestion that the brethren in Jerusalem made to Paul?
Was this suggestion necessary because of any lack on his part in that respect?
NOTES.
1. God looks at what man is, and not at what he seems to be. What he seems to be is what men estimate him to be; what he is, is the measure of the power and wisdom of Christ that he has in him.
2. It was impossible that the men in Jerusalem, no matter how high their position, could impart to Paul any knowledge in the Gospel, for he had received it directly from God, and was constantly receiving fresh revelations. Yet he did not despise, or hold himself above, the other brethren.
3. THE thing to be learned from this narrative is that all the brethren were agreed in the Gospel. No matter where or by what immediate agency the Gospel had come to them, it was exactly the same in all.
4. "TO THE Jew first, and also to the Greek." Altho Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, he never forgot his Jewish brethren, and was always zealous in collecting means for the relief of the poor among them. He had already been up to Jerusalem to carry gifts to them. See Acts 11: 29, 30.
MORE BLESSED TO GIVE.
Is thy cruise of comfort failing?
Rise and share it with another,
And through all the years of famine,
It shall serve thee and thy brother.
Love divine will fill thy storehouse,
Or thy handful still renew;
Scanty fare for one will often
Make a royal feast for two.
For the heart grows rich in giving
All its wealth is living grain;
Seeds which mildew in the garner,
Scattered, fill with gold the plain.
