Obituaries

DALLAS.—Died at his home in New Market, Ind., May 5, 1903, Mr. John L. Dallas, aged 67 years, 11 months, and 12 days. He leaves a wife and two sons to mourn his death. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. A. W. BARTLETT.

LOOMIS.—Died at Chama, N. M., May 7, 1903, Truman Loomis, aged 88 years. Brother Loomis had been a Christian for over sixty years. He had been identified with this people for forty-five years, and was ever active in the work. The coming of our Lord has been his constant theme for a long time. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Ps. 116:15. MALCOLM MACKINTOSH.

ALGER.—Died at Fitch Bay, Quebec, Canada, May 7, 1903, of valvular heart trouble, Caroline Elizabeth Alger, wife of Martin N. Alger, aged 78 years, 10 months, and 28 days. Sister Alger accepted present truth about seventeen years ago, and remained a firm believer in the message unto the close of her life. She rests in hope. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. H. E. RICKARD.

HENDRICKS.—Sister Caroline Elizabeth Hendricks was born in Germantown, Ohio, Aug. 30, 1846, and died April 26, 1903. She accepted the Sabbath and kindred truths under the labors of Elders Morrow and Rousseau, at Leavenworth, Kan., about twelve years ago, and remained an earnest and consistent member of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Leavenworth till the time of her death. She sleeps in Jesus, and we expect to see her when he comes to gather his children home. She leaves a husband and three children. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Job 14:14, 15. E. H. CURTIS.

EVANS.—Died at her home, in Wood River, Neb., April 5, 1903, of tumor of the brain, Martha J. Evans, aged 50 years, 8 months, and 10 days. About three years ago she transferred her membership from the Christian Church, with which she united in early life, to the Seventh-day Adventist church at Shelton. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church, and immediately after the services the remains were taken to the Wood River Cemetery, where interment took place. Brother Evans and the bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the community in this hour of sorrow. T. A. EVANS.

JOHNSON.—Died at the home of her only surviving son, Brother N. M. Johnson, of Tivoli, Minn., May 12, 1903, Sister Parne Johnson, aged 94 years and 22 days. She was born in Troy, N. Y., April 20, 1809, her maiden name being Parne Manley. She was married at an early age to George Johnson. Eleven children were born to them, only two of whom survive the mother. Sister Johnson became connected with this message in 1851, and died in the full hope of a part in the first resurrection. Funeral services were held in the Tivoli schoolhouse, from the words of Job 14:14. We laid her to rest in the cemetery near by, to await the call of the Archangel. M. B. VAN KIRK.

BOYCE.—Died at her home near Zumbro Falls, Minn., May 14, 1903, Effie Mae Boyce, wife of Fred Boyce. She had suffered over a year with consumption, the last few weeks requiring constant care. Sister Boyce was born at Hyde Park, Minn., March 25, 1867. She accepted the Seventh-day Adventist faith under the labors of Elders W. A. Alway and W. A. Sweaney, and was baptized May 19, 1894. She leaves a husband, three children, her mother, four brothers, and two sisters to mourn. She was loved by all who knew her, and many who came to the funeral service could not enter the church for lack of room. We feel sure that Sister Boyce will come forth in the first resurrection. F. A. DETAMORE.

GOODLIFF.—Died in New York City, May 4, 1903, of pulmonary tuberculosis, Brother A. T. Goodliff, aged 35 years, 3 months, and 18 days. Early in life Brother Goodliff united with the Dutch Reformed Church. In the winter of 1896 he and his wife attended the series of meetings conducted by Brother E. E. Franke and O. O. Farnsworth, and April 5 of that year they became charter members of the first Seventh-day Adventist church ever organized in New York City. He fell asleep in Jesus, with bright hope of the resurrection unto eternal life. His wife, mother, and many other relatives are deeply grieved by their loss, yet they sorrow not as those who have no hope. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder E. E. Franke. J. E. JAYNE.

BOOTH.—Died at Brooklyn, N. Y., May 5, 1903, of heart failure, Sister Lenora M. Booth, in the seventy-eighth year of her age. Sister Booth was born near Rochester, N. Y., Dec. 25, 1825. In 1842 she was married to Geo. Booth, and settled at Syracuse, N. Y. In 1885 the writer began holding Bible readings at their home, and a little later she and her daughter accepted present truth, and united with the Syracuse church. After the death of her husband, which occurred in 1889, Sister Booth moved to Brooklyn, N. Y., but her first love for the Syracuse church and scenes connected with it kept her from taking a letter, and she remained a much loved member of that church till the close of her life. For some time prior to her death she had suffered severely at times with neuralgia of the stomach, and with weak heart. Two days before she died she was down to dinner, but was taken ill suddenly in the evening. Her physician was called, also a nurse, and treatments were given. A few minutes before the end came, the doctor had hopes of her speedy recovery, but she seemed to have a clear understanding that she could not live. Suddenly, without warning, as one dropping to sleep, she closed her struggles of threescore and eighteen years, and was at rest. Brief services were held at her home, where remarks were made by the writer from one of her favorite texts, John 14:1-3. The next day she was taken to Syracuse, and the funeral was held in the mission rooms at Harrison Place, where, with her husband and other members of her family, she had enjoyed so many Sabbaths. Elder S. B. Whitney officiated. She was laid to rest in Oakwood Cemetery by the side of her husband. She leaves one son and three daughters to mourn their loss. A. E. PLACE.

HOWE.—Died at Battle Creek, Mich., April 17, 1903, suddenly by accident, Addison Howe, aged 51 years and 20 days. He was a son of Franklin Howe, of Orange township, Ionia County, Mich. The whole family accepted the message for our time about the year 1859. At the age of twelve years, Addison was baptized by Elder Joseph Bates, and maintained a faithful member of the church till the day of his death. He had an abiding love for the Sabbath-school, and was an earnest and successful laborer in this department of the Lord’s work. He fell at his post of duty, and though without warning, he was prepared. He leaves his beloved wife and three affectionate children to mourn their loss, but they mourn not without hope. Burial in Oak Hill Cemetery. I. D. VAN HORN.

EVANS.—Mrs. Emma Ferry Evans, wife of I. H. Evans, was born at Ovid, Mich., March 17, 1862. She was converted at the age of thirteen, and joined the Baptist Church. When twenty, she united with the Seventh-day Adventist church of Ovid. In 1882 she attended the Chicago Bible school, and afterward engaged in Bible work in Chicago, and in Flint, Mich. In 1887 she was united in marriage to I. H. Evans, and joined him in his ministerial labors. Sister Evans had been in poor health for nine years. Her death was caused by disease of the heart, ensuing upon an attack of la grippe. She fell asleep in Jesus, May 14, 1903. Since the birth of her first child, Sister Evans had devoted her service to her home and family, but the influence of her consistent Christian life has been a positive factor for good in a large circle. The funeral service was held May 17, in their little country home, near Ovid. A large gathering of friends testified to the esteem in which Sister Evans was held, and to sympathy with the husband and three children left to mourn so deep a loss as that of a faithful wife and godly mother. Her parents and a sister also survive her. Sister Evans was laid away in the Ovid cemetery to rest for the “little while” that now remains until the Lord shall come. W. A. SPICER.

To All the Church Elders in the United States and Canada

By Editor

In this number of the Review is a statement to the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, relative to the Battle Creek College property, the American Medical Missionary College, and the Missionary Acre Fund. This statement is conjointly issued and signed by A. G. Daniells, J. H. Kellogg, I. H. Evans, S. H. Lane, A. T. Jones, and P. T. Magan. It sets forth, clearly and squarely, the whole situation concerning the Battle Creek College property, the Medical College, and the Missionary Acre Fund, and that makes an appeal in behalf of all of these. It should be read by every Sabbath keeper.

Next Sabbath, May 30, has, by agreement, been set aside as the Missionary Acre Sabbath. On this day our people everywhere will have opportunity to study the goodness of God in giving to this church the medical missionary message for the world. A special reading has been written for the occasion by Elder A. T. Jones. This has already been mailed to every church elder in the land. This reading is one of the best we have ever seen on the subject. It strikes a new and blessed trail of thought. It contains much fresh, spiritual truth on the subject, “His Saving Health,” and our relation to the carrying of this message to the world.

Therefore, next Sabbath, everywhere throughout the country, let our brethren and sisters meet and study the life-giving message of “His Saving Health.” It will cheer and revive every soul. It is good tidings to the meek, the binding up of the broken-hearted, the proclaiming of liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, both spiritually and physically. And crowning all of these, it is, in verity, the proclamation of the “acceptable year of the Lord.”

As this truth waters our souls, let each one consecrate to God a portion of the first fruits of that part of the earth of which Heaven has made him steward, or a portion of the fruit of his daily toil.

All contributions to the Missionary Acre Fund, and for the purpose of securing the old Battle Creek College property to the American Medical Missionary College, and through it to give the message of “His Saving Health” to the world, should be sent to Prof. P. T. Magan, Berrien Springs, Mich.

Fire at Battle Creek Sanitarium Stables

MONDAY evening, the 18th, the property of the Battle Creek Sanitarium was again visited by fire, the Sanitarium stables being consumed, and one human life sacrificed. Thirteen horses which were in the building were burned to death. Two men were in the building when the fire started, one of whom succeeded in making his escape. The remains of the other, a man named J. B. Paul, were found after the flames subsided. The fire is believed to have been of incendiary origin.

Michigan Vital Statistics Report for 1900

The Secretary of State’s Report on Vital Statistics has been received for the year 1900. The slow appearance of these reports is largely due to the delay in making returns of births under the present law. The Michigan registration law for deaths is considered one of the best in the country. Under it there were registered 33,884 deaths for the year, corresponding to a death rate of 14 per 1,000 population. The number of births enumerated was 43,699, probably not more than two thirds of the number that occurred. There were 23,295 marriages and 2,418 divorces in the State during the year. Any one desiring a copy of the report should notify the Secretary of State, at Lansing, Mich.

British Church Discipline Bill

AN illustration of the confusion and strife which are ever ready to spring out of an alliance of the church with the state, is furnished just now by the “British Church Discipline” bill which is under consideration in Parliament, its purpose being to curtail the power held by the bishops of the state church. There is a great deal of opposition to the measure, which passed the House of Commons by a majority of one vote. If the bill is passed, the bishops will no longer have the power to veto an action brought against a clergyman charged with violating a church law according to the thirty-nine articles of the prayer book, and such action can be brought against a clergyman by a layman. A split in the church is threatened when the attempt is made to control the “high church” prelates in this way by the arm of Parliament. Sir William Harcourt, who champions the measure, says that if laymen are not given their rights in things ecclesiastical as well as civil, the church had better be disestablished.

Archbishop Quigley’s Prediction of Catholic Rule

With what is said on another page by a French writer regarding the menace to this country from the growth of the papacy, it is fitting to note also the following prediction made by Archbishop Quigley in the course of a recent address at Chicago, concerning the length of time which would be required to make the United States a Catholic nation:—

Since I have seen the Western parochial schools, I have come to the conclusion that in fifty years, if things go on as I see they are going at present, the Catholic Church will actually own the West.

I have had the opportunity to see a few of the churches and schools in the diocese, and I have gained some idea of what a magnificent Catholic city Chicago is. Since I came here, I have visited Joliet, and in that city I visited one of the parochial schools. It was the first time I had seen a parochial school in the West.

Within twenty years this country is going to rule the world. Kings and emperors will soon pass away, and the democracy of the United States will take their place. The West will dominate the country, and what I have seen of the Western parochial schools has proved that the generation which follows us will be exclusively Catholic. When the United States rules the world, the Catholic Church will rule the world.

The people of the East do not know of the importance of Chicago in the West. The Catholics know that Chicago is one of the great Catholic centers of the world. In fifty years Chicago will be exclusively Catholic. The same may be said of Greater New York and the chain of big cities stretching across the continent to San Francisco.

It has never forced itself on me— this conviction — as it has since I have been in Chicago. I am simply overcome by it.

Offering Four Times as Large in Des Moines, Iowa

“DURING the first four months of 1902 the Des Moines (Iowa) church paid $22.20 in First-day offerings. About the first of this year the envelope plan with weekly collections was adopted, and the offerings now average about five dollars a week, or nearly four times the amount given last year. This is a forcible evidence of the value of the envelope plan.”

Similar experiences are reported from other churches. No church elder should fail to introduce the envelopes for collecting the offerings.

Bible Reading in California Schools

In answer to some who have taken exception to a recent decision by California’s attorney-general against the use of the Bible in public school exercises in that State, The Independent observes that “what the opinion of the attorney-general of California has barred from the public schools is not the Bible, but the regular reading of it as a religious exercise. For reference it can be as much in the school libraries as a dictionary, and for literary study it can as well be used as Shakespeare’s plays. But very properly all religious exercises that might excite conflict are excluded.”
