Current Mention

— A recent decision by the United States Supreme Court affirms the power of Congress to prohibit the sending of lottery tickets from one State to another by express as well as through the mails.
— An Ithaca, N. Y., dispatch of February 25 reported that thirty-one victims had succumbed to the typhoid epidemic in Ithaca up to that date. Eleven fresh cases of the disease were reported that day. The water supply of Ithaca is obtained from streams which it is said have been contaminated.
— “A decisive period for Eastern Europe,” are the words by which the Italian minister of marine, in a recent speech before the chamber of deputies, described his view of the present phase of the Eastern question. His opinion is shared by many other European statesmen.
— Eleven hundred car-loads of supplies have been sent from this country to the relief of the famine sufferers in northern Sweden, but it is said this will suffice only temporarily, and that 2,400,000 pounds of flour is needed by seventeen small towns in the famine district before June 1.
— A great eruption of lava, accompanied with alarming and destructive earth tremors, is reported from the volcano of Colima, Mexico. Residents in the vicinity are fleeing from the place, and the thriving villages around the base of Mount Colima are deserted. At Tuxpam and in the city of Colima buildings have been thrown down by the shocks. A tidal wave is feared at Manzanillo, should the seismic disturbances continue.
— The sale of cocaine is to be restricted in Illinois by law, the widespread use of this drug among all classes of the people being recognized as a serious menace to the public welfare. Treasurer Bodemann, of the State board of pharmacy, recently testified before a grand jury in Chicago that in his opinion the many wrecks on the railways could be traced to indulgence in the use of cocaine by employees of the railway companies. Cocaine has a very harmful effect on the brain cells.
— Church people in Holly Springs, Miss., have been startled by a court decision given recently in that place. A press dispatch under date of February 24 says: “Judge Lowry to-day made a sensational departure from the usual formula when he charged the grand jury to indict progressive euchre players. If these instructions are carried out, many people who are prominent as officers or members of the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Episcopal churches are liable to indictment.”
— The attitude of labor unions toward the State militia or National Guard points to the prospect of serious trouble between the unions and the government. An illustration is furnished by the following press telegram dated at Norfolk, Va., February 23: “At a meeting of the State militia officers here to-day it was found that all the labor organizations have boycotted the National Guard, because it is available in time of labor strikes. All the labor union soldiers are refusing to re-enlist at the expiration of their enlistments.”
— A $2,000,000 fire occurred in the heart of Cincinnati, February 26, originating in a grocery basement under Pike’s opera house. One of the most solidly built business blocks in the city was destroyed.
— A Honolulu dispatch states that Naval Governor Seaton Schroeder, of the island of Guam, reports the occurrence of a severe and prolonged series of earthquakes which have raised the level of the island about six inches. The shocks were accompanied by loud subterranean rumblings.
— Chief Musham, of the Chicago fire department, is quoted by the Chicago Tribune as saying that Chicago is in no better condition now than in 1871 to resist a big fire. “If,” he said, “we had a 4-11 alarm in the stock-yards, another on the north side, and another on the west side, and the conditions were favorable, there is no reason why a fire should not sweep the city.”
— Exceptional activity is reported as being visible at the Russian general staff headquarters at Kieff and Odessa. A special oath of secrecy is being administered to officers employed in the topographical department at Odessa. New appointments are being made in every department of the army in the south, and unfit officers are being removed. Arrangements have been completed for 100,000 first-class and 180,000 second-class reserves to join the colors within fourteen days on an emergency call.
— Transatlantic newspaper service by means of Marconi wireless telegraphy has now become a reality, the first instance having been afforded on the Cunard steamship “Etruria,” February 7. That morning, as the ship was nearing the end of its voyage eastward, the passengers found on the dining tables sheets of paper giving a summary of the principal items of news since the day of sailing from New York. A daily paper of this kind will no doubt be a feature of transatlantic travel in the near future.
— The city of Chicago can not buy non-union coal. Such is the notice served on Mayor Harrison by the teamsters’ union, which it will enforce by refusing to haul the coal. Similar moves, says the Chicago Tribune, are to be made in every large city in the country. By this means the United Mine Workers will, if possible, force the West Virginia coal mines to come under union control. This step was planned by President Mitchell, of the miners’ union, and President Young, of the teamsters’ national union. Further action will be taken if necessary as soon as the coal strike commission presents its report.
— Because striking union miners in Raleigh County, W. Va., refused to heed an injunction obtained from a United States court last August by the Chesapeake and Ohio Coal Agency Company, a federal force, accompanied by a sheriff’s posse, attempted to arrest a number of them, but were resisted by armed miners, the result being a battle in which five miners were killed and others were injured. Seventy-three arrests were made, ten of these being by the federal officer, who is trying to have all the prisoners delivered to the federal authorities, to be tried by the federal government instead of by the State government. The State of West Virginia will, however, probably refuse to surrender the prisoners.
— In a speech made at the third annual conference of the National Federation of Churches and Christian Workers, in New York City recently, Rev. F. W. Tomkins, of Philadelphia, said he was glad indeed to see that the various churches represented in the movement “at last are coming together, and can shake hands without feelings of suspicion toward each other.” “You will find,” he said, “that if all the ministers in a community stand together, when they utter a protest they will get a hearing far out of proportion to their relative importance in that community.” The truth of this statement has been many times demonstrated, and it is one good reason why clergymen should keep out of politics. We shall have much better government when no class of the people have a voice in public affairs which is “far out of proportion to their relative importance in the community.”

Notes of Progress

By the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” Ohio has paid $8,000 toward liquidating the $17,000 debt on the Mt. Vernon Academy.
The Colorado Conference has organized for a vigorous campaign, March 3, 4. Elder Watson, the president, writes as follows: “Our laborers are enthusiastic over this matter, and I feel sure that much will be accomplished. Even our secretaries can hardly stay in the office for the zeal they feel for this neglected part of the work. I am sure that if we can carry this plan out, as we hope we can, every book of our quota will be disposed of.”
As an illustration of the determination with which the work is being pushed in some of the conferences, I quote the following from a letter received from the president of the Western Oregon Conference: “We have our work well organized, and the laborers have been assigned districts including certain churches over which they have charge. I have been much encouraged by the loyalty that they have shown in this crisis. We did not lay upon them the responsibility for the books of their district; but a number of them have volunteered to be responsible for all the books of their territory, promising that what the people would not take and pay for by selling or otherwise by the time we had set for the finishing of the work, they would pay for themselves. This has appealed to the people, and many of them have taken a noble stand. It seems clear that if our workers had not taken hold of the work in this way, much less would have been done than has thus far been accomplished. We set March 1 as the time for finishing our work; but it seems as if we would be compelled to ask for more time.” C. W. FLAIZ.

Tract Campaign Notes

By Editor

The Review and Herald has recently received an order from the Illinois Tract Society for 10,000 copies of the tract entitled “We Would See Jesus.”
The tract campaign is now well under way. It is gratifying indeed to see the earnest enthusiasm with which this good work is being carried all over the United States.
Watch for notices of a fifth tract. We have now sent to the printers the copy for a new tract, entitled “The Perpetuity of the Law,” by C. H. Spurgeon. It is one of the most simple, clear, and powerful tracts we have ever issued on the subject of the law.
According to the latest information received from the Review and Herald and Pacific Press Publishing Companies 790,000 copies of the new tracts have already been printed, and yet at times, it is difficult to fill promptly the orders received.
Brother A. J. Bourdeau, secretary of the California Tract Society, writes: “Since January 1, six weeks’ time, we have sold over 450,000 pages of tracts alone. The Lord is helping us to revive the old-time tract and missionary spirit.”
A letter from Brother Curtiss, manager of the New York Branch of the Pacific Press Publishing Company, informs us that the tract work has started off encouragingly in several of the conferences in the East. He mentions particularly the State of Maine, where they have already handled over 20,000 copies.
Inquiries have been received from several sources as to the kind of work which should follow the tract campaign. We feel like saying in reply, what we have often felt, that this campaign should be followed by the personal appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. Dear brethren, should we not enter upon this work with a definite determination that our efforts shall not cease until the Lord shall come? Such a purpose and definite belief in the church is the only thing that can bring that glorious event.
A good sister writes as follows: “I received the tract, ‘We Would See Jesus.’ Words are too feeble to express the joy which filled my soul as I looked upon the illustration on the first page of the tract. It seemed so full of meaning. I shall do what I can to place the message before the people. Thousands of poor souls are yet to be warned. None who are awake can fail to see that our time for warning the world is almost closed. We can not work too swiftly.”
Several conference presidents have sent to us copies of letters which they have mailed to their churches and isolated members, setting before them the importance of organizing for thorough work in distributing the new tracts. Nearly all the State papers, also, are agitating this good work. This general rally in behalf of the old-fashioned tract and missionary work is full of meaning. May the Lord greatly bless his people, and enable them to think and do great things.
A brother from the South writes the following interesting account of his efforts in behalf of the new tracts in one little church: “At the close of our meeting we organized ourselves into a missionary society to distribute the new tracts. Little children from four years old and upward took tracts; and before Sunday night nearly all our supply was exhausted. We believe that it is the mind of God that these new tracts should be scattered as the leaves of autumn. One sister who had never sold any books or tracts thought that she could not sell them; but she tried it, and sold nineteen in a few minutes. A little girl six years old sold two before breakfast; another twelve years old sold about thirty. The older people are as much interested as the children.”
Elder W. J. Stone, president of the Tennessee River Conference, writes the following encouraging words to The Southern Watchman: “The Missionary Department of our conference has on hand a supply of the first tract, ‘We Would See Jesus.’ I have read this tract, and consider it in its make-up and the matter it contains one of the best tracts ever published by our denomination. In getting out these tracts, it has seemed to be the mind of the writers to boil down and put into each tract what several tracts have contained in the past. Our people should scatter these tracts by the thousand. Why not revive the old-time missionary spirit, and carry literature in our pockets, and hand out a tract whenever we find a person who will read? If the world is warned, and the Lord comes in this generation, it will be because our people arise and let the clear rays of light that the Lord has given them shine forth to the world. Is it not apparent, brethren and sisters, that we ought to be doing much more missionary work than we are doing? and shall we not, without urging, send an order for these tracts, and begin to distribute them among our neighbors?”

Coming

By W. O. Cushing

O WATCHMAN on the mountain height, Proclaim the coming day; Behold the spires of golden fires Point upward far away.
O watchman, bid the sleeping church Awake, arise, and pray; The heavenly Bridegroom soon will come, And now is on his way.
Coming, yes, he's coming, The Dayspring from on high; Coming, yes, he's coming, The hour is drawing nigh; Coming, yes, he's coming, Let all the ransomed sing; The hills are bright with holy light, All hail the coming King.
— W. O. Cushing.

Work in Alaska

By H. H. Hall

“DURING 1901 I gave out 1,010 papers, 18,216 pages of tracts, loaned books, wrote letters, and had Bible studies with several persons. In 1902 I gave out 1,808 papers, 30,200 pages of tracts (less a few on hand now), loaned books, wrote to inquirers, held Bible studies occasionally, and Sabbath-school regularly.
“The other day a little boy ran out after me, and said, ‘Mama wants another paper for papa, for the other one made him cry.’
“I give my Signs away instead of selling them, and, as a result, a man asked me, ‘Where do you get off at?’ (Where do you get your pay?) I asked him if he liked them, and he said, ‘Yes, they are real instructors.’ ‘Well,’ I said, ‘I accept that as my pay in full.’”
The preceding is taken from a private letter from Brother George Rice, who is in Dawson City. In this letter he states that no second-class mail of any kind will be brought there until next June. For this reason his club of Signs will have to be sent at letter rates, or else discontinued. How fortunate it is that but few of us are thus denied the privilege of obtaining missionary material! H. H. HALL.

Cedar Lake Academy

By J. G. Lamson

THE winter term of the Cedar Lake Industrial Academy closes the last Friday in March. It has been thought advisable not to take a vacation at that time, but to begin the spring term the following Monday morning. At a recent session of the school board it was voted to hold a spring term, and arrangements have been made to carry on the regular class work of the school together with a large amount of outside work. During this spring term we shall be able to furnish more work than we are able to during the fall and winter terms. Students who are willing to work, and are able to go ahead with jobs at which they are set, can nearly pay their way by work during this term. This applies only to those who are old enough and strong enough to do hard outside manual labor. We shall be glad to have immediate word from all who would like to avail themselves of the opportunity to pay their way through school by their work. Only two regular lines of manual work will be carried on during the spring term; namely, carpentry and farm work, which will include fruit culture.
During the summer we shall be able to employ several young men who desire to earn wages, a large portion of which they are willing to pay for schooling the following terms; For labor during the summer such wages will be paid as the students actually earn, and a reasonable proportion of these wages will be paid in cash. We shall be glad to hear from any interested students. J. G. LAMSON, Principal.

Obituaries

Anderson.—Died near Ni Wot, Colo., Dec. 16, 1902, Mrs. Christina Anderson, aged 80 years, 5 months, and 4 days.

FARNSWORTH.
Cullum.—Died in New York City, Dec. 24, 1902, of pneumonia, Adeline Ruth, daughter of Frederick P. and Emeline Cullum, aged 2 years, 3 months, and 5 days. The parents look forward with joy to the coming of Jesus. The funeral service was held by E. H. M. Sell and Luther Warren. *
Silsby.—Died at Oakland, Cal., Jan. 14, 1903, of a complication of diseases, Ernest Watson, son of E. W. and Estella M. Glenn Silsby, aged 15 months, 20 days.

Wright.—Died Dec. 31, 1902, in Springdale, Ark., Allie L. Wright, aged 50 years, 8 months, 25 days. Her husband and six children survive her. All who knew her are confident that she will have a part in the first resurrection. Brother W. H. Rampton conducted the funeral services, with Scripture reading and prayer. GEO. A. WRIGHT.
Howe.—Died at her home near Grant City, Iowa, Jan. 14, 1903, after a protracted illness, Sister Mary Ann Howe, aged 58 years, 11 months, and 12 days. During her sickness she experienced great suffering, yet in it all the Christlike spirit was manifested, and she died with a bright hope in Christ. She leaves a husband, six sons, and five daughters. Words of comfort were spoken from 1 Thess. 4:13. W. B. EVESHART.
Peck.—Sister Mary Ann Peck, of Wolcott, Vt., died at the home of her son, W. W. Peck, of Morrisville, Vt., Dec. 30, 1902, aged 82 years and 8 months. Her death was hastened by a stroke of paralysis. She gave her heart to God in early life, and fifty-three years ago accepted present truth. She sleeps in Jesus. She leaves two sons, three daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren to mourn their loss. Funeral discourse was given by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. J. W. WATT.
Platt.—Died at the home of her daughter, in Gibson City, Ill., Jan. 13, 1903, after three years of suffering, Mrs. Able Platt, aged 74 years, 7 months, and 17 days. For the past forty years mother was a devout Christian, a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She was a faithful reader of the REVIEW, which was one of her greatest comforts. A husband, two sons, and four daughters survive her. The funeral was held at the United Brethren church, attended by a large number of sorrowing friends. ADA CARVER.
Nordyke.—Pearl E. Nordyke, aged 22 years, daughter of B. R. Nordyke, manager of the Kansas City office of the Pacific Press Publishing Company, fell asleep in Jesus at Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 7, 1903, after an illness of six months, with acute peritonitis.

His illness was quite brief, he being confined to his bed only thirty-three hours. He had fully given himself to the Lord. Services were conducted at the home in Indianapolis, also at their former home at Mechanicsburg. Burial took place at Mechanicsburg. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Ps. 103:13-18 and Rev. 14:13. A. L. MILLER.
Price.—Died Jan. 11, 1903, Edgar Price, aged 65 years and 8 months. He accepted the third angel’s message in 1893 at Millington, Del., during a tent effort by Elder E. E. Franke, assisted by Elder H. E. Robinson. The same year he was arrested for working on Sunday, but his good reputation as a citizen saved him from the penalties of the law, the judge throwing his case out of court. His home was an oasis in the desert to the weary worker. Words of comfort were spoken to the bereaved family and friends by the writer. JOHN F. JONES.
Myers.—Died in Oakland, Cal., Jan. 13, 1903, of heart-disease, W. G. Myers, aged 75 years, 3 months, and 14 days. Brother Myers was formerly of Athens, Mich., but had resided in California since 1874, and for the most of that time served in official positions in the churches of Napa and Oakland. It was my privilege to visit him daily during the last week of his life, and to share in the rich blessing of the Lord bestowed upon him. He passed peacefully away, with a smile upon his lips, leaving a beloved wife, one son and his family, as near mourners in hope. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder M. H. Brown. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
Clark.—Died at the home of her son in Beatrice, Neb., Jan. 14, 1903, Mary Clark, aged 77 years and 6 months. The deceased was born in England, July, 1826, and came to this country when quite young. She accepted present truth about twelve years ago, and died in the blessed hope of the soon-coming Saviour. Two sons and two daughters and a large circle of friends are left to mourn, but not without hope. Short services were conducted at Beatrice, by Rev. Sharp, of the United Brethren Church, also at the home of her daughter in Geneva, Neb., the place of interment. MRS. F. B. FISHER.
Glaspie.—Mrs. Mary Glaspie died at her home near Memphis, Mich., Jan. 15, 1903. Sister Glaspie accepted the truth under the labors of Elders Cornell and Lawrence in 1863. She was a charter member of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Memphis, of which she remained a member until the time of her death. She leaves a husband, two sons, two daughters, and a brother to mourn their loss. Funeral discourse was given by the writer. O. F. BUTCHER.
Horner.—Jane Augusta Horner, born in Bronson, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1837, died Jan. 7, 1903. She gave her heart to the Lord at the age of thirteen years, joining the Methodist Church. In 1858 she accepted the truths of the third angel’s message under the labors of Elder J. N. Loughborough, at East Townsend, Ohio. Sister Horner had been a member of the Norwalk church ever since its organization. She had been a member of the Wakeman church, where Brother Coon and his family, Brother F. French and his family, his mother, and the Abbots, Father Horner, and Mother Arthur used to meet at the homes of the various members and hold all-day meetings, and often two days’ meetings. Brother and Sister White met with them at Grandfather Horner’s. The deceased often longed for such meetings, when the whole Sabbath day was not too long to spend in worshiping the Lord. The writer was acquainted with Sister Horner for over twenty years. She was a daughter of that faithful saint, Sister Arthur, whom my wife and I used to call Sister Providence, as she often came to our tent to supply our need in my early ministry. Both Mother Arthur and Sister Horner are asleep in Jesus, awaiting the voice of the Son of God to call them forth to immortality and eternal life. The funeral discourse was preached at the home, near Hortland, Ohio, and the sister was buried in a beautiful county graveyard near the home. Two children mourn the loss of a fond and loving mother, whose devoted Christian life leaves a precious legacy to them. Thus one by one the pioneers are laid away. May God help us younger in years to be as faithful as were they. D. E. LINDSEY.
