NEBRASKA

By R. A. Kite; Luther Warren

LINCOLN.—After holding five meetings in the Auditorium, we held over forty in the tent. The attendance has ranged from two to twenty hundred, the average being over six hundred. The attention was excellent. Over one hundred have started in the Christian life, and more than fifty have promised to keep the Sabbath. The Spirit of God is working on many hearts. Our workers are all of good courage. The churches at Lincoln and College View have been a great help in many ways. The average attendance of our own people has been at least one hundred. These are included in the attendance as first stated. We have taken up no collection, but on Sunday nights have a box in which the people can place contributions if they wish. We have thus received one hundred dollars.
Our hearts rejoice to see others happy in the precious truth. Remember us in your prayers.
R. A. KITE, LUTHER WARREN.

MISSOURI

By W. S. Cruzan; L. W. Terry

BOONSBORO.—We began our work at this place August 8, and have given seven discourses on the prophecies, second coming of Christ, new earth and millennium. The first evening the tent was about half filled; since then it has been well filled, and many nights it would not hold the people who came. The best of attention is paid to the word spoken, and many are becoming interested in the truths for this time. The people have abundantly supplied our temporal wants, and two dollars in donations has been received. We labor on, believing that the Lord has precious souls here whom He will lead into His light.
W. S. CRUZAN, L. W. TERRY.

KANSAS

THE total amount of tithe received by Brother T. J. Eagle, Treasurer of the Kansas Conference, during the year ending June 30, 1901, was $21,169.80. Total number of churches paying this amount, 92.

Obituaries

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

ALLEN.—Died at Beaver City, Neb., June 24, 1901, of quick consumption, Nellie Allen, aged 20 years, 3 months. She leaves a husband and two little boys. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder Throw (Dunkard) from Jer. 15:9 and Ps. 90:12.
FORD.—Died at Cherry Flats, Pa., June 21, 1901, of Bright’s disease, Mrs. Mary E. Ford, aged 56 years. Sister Ford had been an Adventist for about fourteen years. She leaves a husband and four children. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, speaking from Ps. 116:15. W. F. SCHWARTZ.
CUMMINGS.—Died at his home in College View, Neb., May 25, 1901, after an illness of several weeks, S. W. Cummings. He accepted the truth in Illinois in 1864, and has ever since been a constant believer. He leaves a wife, three sons, and one daughter. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer. J. H. MORRISON.
MOORE.—Died in Springdale, Ark., July 13, 1901, of kidney disease and cancer, Martha K. Moore, in her sixtieth year. She was inclined to spiritual things from young womanhood, being a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The truth came to her through reading “The Marvel of Nations” and “Daniel and the Revelation.” She longed to see the Saviour come, but was resigned to the will of God. Words of comfort were spoken by Brother C. W. Hardesty. J. SCOTT MOORE.
BISHOP.—Died in San Jose, Cal., July 11, 1901, Mrs. H. Bishop, a native of Noftz, Germany, aged 61 years, 5 months, 16 days. Sister Bishop had been attending a sick neighbor, and had contracted a cold, which took the form of pneumonia. Her sickness was short, and her death a sad surprise to her friends and brethren. Her devoted Christian life won the esteem of a large circle of friends. The principal service was conducted at the grave, Sunday, July 14. She sleeps in Jesus. A. J. MORTON.
ROGERS.—Died in Nashville, Tenn., of typhoid fever, Aug. 11, 1901, Mrs. B. A. Rogers, in the forty-eighth year of her age. Leaving a comfortable home in Michigan, Sister Rogers came South with her husband last November, to engage in the work in this needy field. Together they cheerfully gave not only themselves, but also of their means liberally to build up and maintain the work in the South. Those who knew her do not doubt that she sleeps in Jesus. To those who were associated with her in the work, it seems that the cause in this field has sustained an irreparable loss; but God knows best. The funeral services were conducted by Elder J. E. White, assisted by W. O. Palmer and the writer. C. P. BOLLMAN.
GOLDSBOROUGH.—Died Aug. 6, 1901, at Diamond Lake, Minneapolis, Minn., Sister Anna Goldsborough, in the sixtieth year of her age, after patiently enduring an illness of several months. She leaves a husband, two sons, and a daughter. Our dear sister has been a faithful servant of Jesus here in the Minneapolis church for sixteen years. She loved the precious truths of the Sabbath and the Lord’s soon coming, and loved to contemplate the home of the saved. Her greatest anxiety was for the salvation of her children and her husband, and that they might meet her in that bright morning when Jesus comes to clothe His people with immortality. The funeral services were conducted by Brethren Ingerson and Huntley. W. H. WILD.
BABCOCK.—Fell asleep in Jesus in Georgetown, British Guiana, June 20, 1901, Elmira, wife of Elder D. C. Babcock. Deceased was born in Michigan, but moved to Ohio, where she accepted present truth in 1883. Being desirous that others should learn of the truth that was so dear to her, she began doing Bible work. She was united in marriage to Elder Babcock in 1886, and joined him in his work in Delaware and West Virginia. Early in 1900, by request of the Foreign Mission Board, they went to South America to labor. Heart trouble of long standing was the principal cause of her death. She was an example of patience in all her suffering. She desired to remain at their post of duty, as they felt that no change could avert the sad result. I was glad to be with them the last week of her illness, and as we laid her away, we felt that the words of the psalmist, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints,” was appropriate in her case. We mourn not as those who have no hope. A. J. HAYSMER.
REED.—Died of typhoid fever at Raleigh, N. C., June 4, 1901, Fred. A. Reed, aged 26 years, 6 months, 26 days. He was the youngest son of F. B. and S. S. Reed, of Lakeville, Conn., who for many years have been active supporters of present truth. The deceased leaves a wife and two little boys, a father, mother, two sisters, and a brother, together with a large circle of sorrowing friends. His faithfulness and devotion as a husband and father; his thoughtful and affectionate regard as a son and brother; and his kindness and generosity as a friend, won high esteem wherever he was known. For the benefit of his wife’s health, he had taken her to Southern Pines during the winter. They were about to return when he was seized with fatal illness, and taken to Rex Hospital in Raleigh, where he died. A few hours before his death, he recognized his father in these his last words, “You have come to take me home.” Thus his last thoughts were of the loved ones for whose society he longed, and the quiet homestead so pleasantly situated among the foothills of the beautiful Berkshire range. May we who mourn prepare for that “home where changes never come.” H. E. OSBORNE.

To the Scandinavians.

By P. E. Berthelsen

As THE time for the opening of a new school year at Union College is drawing near, the minds of many are undoubtedly turned toward that institution. It is the intent of this notice to call the attention of our Scandinavian friends and young people of that nationality to the department of the college conducted in those languages. This department has been in successful operation ever since the college was established. It is well furnished, and affords excellent facilities for the training of workers for Scandinavian fields in this and other countries. It is encouraging to know that a large number of workers now in the field have gone forth from this department. Although the attendance during the past year was small, good results are seen, nearly all the students at the close of the year heartily engaging in missionary work. This is but a natural outgrowth of the missionary spirit cherished in the school. The entire work of the department is outlined in a three years’ course, for the details of which see the new college year book, sent free upon application. Special stress is placed upon the study of the Bible and history in the Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian languages. In the study of these languages, the last two are studied together, being practically one language, and separate classes are formed in the Swedish. For the benefit of English students, or those of Scandinavian descent who are entirely unfamiliar with their mother tongue, separate classes are formed in English.
We look forward to the new year with fond hopes, believing the Lord will continue to prosper the work of the department, and to this end we earnestly solicit the co-operation of all friends of the school. For further particulars, address the President, Elder L. A. Hoopes, or the undersigned, at College View, Neb. P. E. BERTHELSEN.

Nebraska State Camp-meeting.

By N. P. Nelson

OUR feast of tabernacles is drawing near. The beautiful park near Lincoln has been secured for this meeting. We have also obtained rates to our camp-meeting at one and one-third fare. Purchase a full-fare ticket and take a certificate from the agent, on September 3, 4, 5, or 9, 10, 11. These are the only days that will be honored, so be sure to purchase your ticket on one of those days. It is also arranged so that you may return up to and including the 19th of September. All certificates must be handed to Brother Beatty on the camp-ground not later than the 11th, that they may be properly signed. A brother will meet you at the train at Lincoln; but if you should miss him, take the first car uptown, and when you pay your fare, ask for a transfer to Lincoln Park, and you will be taken to the camp-grounds for five cents. Bring all your checks to the camp-ground, or give them to the brother who meets you at the train, and your trunks will be brought to the camp-ground for fifteen cents. Do not give your checks to any representative of any transfer line.
Tents, tables, bedsteads, and lumber will be available. A dining tent will also be on the ground, where meals may be had at twenty cents, or six for one dollar. Groceries and other provisions may be had on the grounds by those who desire to board themselves.
We would advise all who possibly can to come by rail, as horse feed is very high and scarce near Lincoln; but of course there will be a supply on the grounds. There will also be straw for bedticks. Bring plenty of bedding, as the nights in September are apt to be quite cold.
N. P. NELSON.

Cedar Lake (Mich.) Academy Opening.

By J. G. Lamson

THE first semester of the academic year 1901-2 will begin Monday, September 9, at 11 A. M. We much desire that all who expect to be in the school at the first of the term come the Thursday before; but if it is impossible for this to be so, we hope none will delay longer than Monday morning. The school will open sufficiently late for the students arriving by the first trains Monday, to be in time for chapel. The faculty and management are stronger than ever before, and God is urging the young to prepare for work.
If you are coming, come now. If you are undecided, write to us. If you have not seen our announcement, send for one. Notify us of the date you expect to arrive, and we will make arrangements for getting your baggage from the station.
J. G. LAMSON, Principal.

OUR COUNTRY; ITS PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, AND ITS PLACE IN PROPHECY.
By Elder Uriah Smith

The manner of its rise and its nature politically are taken as evidences of its importance in prophecy, while the marvelous development of natural resources and the advance in the arts and sciences declare the character of the time in which we live.
MARVEL OF NATIONS will contain about 320 pages, and will be profusely illustrated with new plates.

Here and Hereafter

By Uriah Smith

Or Man in Life and Death; the Reward of the Righteous and the Death of the Wicked.
BY ELDER URIAH SMITH.
Taking up the nature of man as given to him at creation, this work treats of the conditions upon which man after his fall might obtain immortality. It exposes the Satanic origin of the doctrines of eternal misery for the lost, future probation after death, restorationism, spiritualism, and other delusions by which the world is sought to be turned from the truth, and points the reader to Christ as the only means through which eternal life may be realized.

ECCLESIASTICAL EMPIRE.

By Alonzo T. Jones

By Elder A. T. Jones.
Beginning with the fall of Rome is given a history of all civil legislation which has encouraged the uniting of Church and State. The account of papal ascendency during the Middle Ages, and the history of the Reformation are of special interest and importance. No library is complete without a history bearing on these important questions, and none is so complete and concise as ECCLESIASTICAL EMPIRE.

Story of Daniel the Prophet

By S. N. Haskell

BY ELDER S. N. HASKELL.

Through this book is revealed in the life of Daniel and his close connection with God, all the vital principles of the message for these last days.
“Very much pleased with the book and the manner in which the subject is handled. It certainly is worthy of a wide circulation.”—S. N. Curtiss, Sec. Atlantic Tract Society.
“It is a beautiful book and well worthy of a large circulation.”—Helen McKinnon, Sec. Ontario Tract Society.
“We find it both as to mechanical work and as to matter first-class. The scripture references in the margin add much to the value of the book.”—C. D. Zirkle, Sec. Chesapeake Tract Society.

SOUND AN ALARM.

Bible Students’ Library, No. 167.
The greatest struggle in the history of this country between capital and labor is now on. In the great manufacturing and mining districts, the forces of labor have succeeded in closing scores of mammoth plants, while the opposition is bringing all its power to bear in defeating the plans of its opponents. Outbreak is imminent.
This new tract strikes at the very root of the question, and should be given a good circulation in every community.
Sixteen pages, illustrated. Price, one cent.

THE FULLNESS OF JEW AND GENTILE.

Bible Student's Library, No. 165.
In this treatment of the question the author proves that through the rejection of Christ by the Jews, Israel's claim to the sole heirship of the Abrahamic covenant was forfeited, and the Gentiles, by becoming Christ's, became heirs according to the promise. The fullness of the Gentiles came in the second rejection of Christ by the Jews, and the repudiation of the gospel message, and all who through the acceptance of Christ become Israelites, will dwell with Christ, “the fullness of the Godhead bodily,” through eternal ages. Price, ½ cent.

Sabbath Rest Versus Corporate Sunday Labor

By Editor

PEOPLE who are “compelled” to work on Sunday by railway corporations and other business firms are “slaves of civilization,” writes the Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon in the Independent of August 29. Instead of presenting the gospel as being “the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth,” Mr. Sheldon calls for the solution of the problem of Sabbath observance through the agency of the men who employ these Sunday workers and of those who control the corporation stock. We believe no employer should ask an employee to work on the Sabbath (which, however, is not Sunday); but this problem of Sabbath rest can be solved for men not en masse, but only as individuals; and then only as it is approached from the side of the power of God as set forth in the gospel, and not by appealing to the power of corporations, or of the State. Men who will not take the Sabbath when it is offered to them by the Lord, will get no good out of a sabbath given them by a railway corporation.

Church Elders, Notice!

By Mission Board

DOUBTLESS all are aware that at the last General Conference the second Sabbath in September was appointed as a day of prayer and offering for the Skodsborg (Denmark) Sanatorium. An appeal in the interest of this institution, and a sufficient number of envelopes to provide every family in the church, have been sent to every church elder in the United States; also an appeal to every isolated Sabbath-keeper whose address we have been able to secure. If any have not received this, especially church elders, notify us at once, and duplicate will be sent.
Our churches responded liberally to the appeal for Christiania, and we have confidence to believe that all will be ready to do as much to help the Skodsborg Sanatorium now in its time of need. To assist this institution means to keep aglow a beacon of truth in Northern Europe, whose influence only eternity will reveal. Concerning this institution the Lord has said:—
“A work has been accomplished which is far-reaching in its influence for good, and which greatly displeases the enemy of righteousness. Who will now place themselves on the Lord's side? Who will be as His helping hand, lifting whole-heartedly?”

The “Falling Stars” Picture

is ready, and is better than the original oil painting, having been three times through the press to give the photogravure effect. It is a beautiful union of God’s greatest wonder on earth — Niagara Falls — and His greatest marvel in the heavens, the last sign of the second coming of the Lord, predicted in Matthew 24. The world should know of its fulfillment, and this picture will stop everybody in the mad rush of these last days, at least long enough to sow the seed of Bible truth on this subject.
The illustrated booklet will be ready to mail in a few days — ten copies to all who now order the picture — so that inquiring neighbors who see this work of art may know its significance. The Saviour’s words will be engraved on the face of each of the thirty or more prophetical illustrations shown in the booklet.
In order to encourage the widest possible use of the picture and the booklets, the price is reduced from sixty-five cents to thirty-nine cents, postpaid, in strong mailing tube, including ten copies of the booklet. Those who have sent in sixty-five cents will receive another picture, mailed free with that of the “Falling Stars.” Address the designer and publisher, F. E. Belden, Battle Creek, Mich.

Progress Reports Again.

By A. J. B.

WE wish to thank those who have so kindly responded to our recent appeal for brief, newsy Progress reports. A great many short reports, from all parts of the harvest field, are more satisfactory, we believe, to the readers of the REVIEW, than a very few lengthy reports, covering only what has been accomplished in a small portion of the field.
Those who have had cause of complaint because of delay in printing the reports sent to the Office, are hereby assured that it is the constant aim and determination of the REVIEW to print in each current issue of the paper every Progress report received not later than the Thursday preceding the Tuesday of publication. Of course, unforeseen circumstances occasionally arise, which prevent the carrying out of this aim. Due allowance should also be made for postal delays at both ends of the route. It sometimes takes much longer for a letter to reach us than is generally supposed.
Not long ago the editors of our denominational papers were instructed, through the Spirit of Prophecy, to “call for articles giving living experience,” and all our ministers were called upon to “regard it as a part of their duty to send short articles of experience to our papers,” which would be “food for those who are laboring in isolated places, in foreign countries, and in the islands of the sea, to hear in this way from the friends with whom they have been associated,” and “as a love feast” to the readers of the paper.
Last, but not least, this week, we print in the Progress department (page 579) a report from Brother Simpson. It is very short indeed, but it omits nothing of importance; and the writing of it did not take much of his time. We do not mention this report as an example for all to copy, but simply to show how much can be expressed in a very few words. If it were possible for all our laborers thus to report, there would be almost room enough each week in the Progress department for a report from each one.
