The Signs Number of the Southern Watchman

By Arthur G. Daniells

WHEN the gospel was first made known to fallen man, his eyes were directed to the second coming of Christ. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, looked forward to this glorious event with gladness. All the way down the ages, the people of God have centered their hopes in the coming of Christ to end the reign of sin, and establish his kingdom of glory.
And now at last the generation has come that is to witness the Saviour's coming and all the wonders connected with it. How wonderful, how grand this truth and this time! How solemn the responsibilities of the church of God in this closing hour of probation and human history.
The event to take place calls upon the people of God to proclaim to all the world the coming of the Lord. This must be done. It is a part of the program. Jesus can not come until this proclamation is made.
It is to aid in giving this world-wide advent message that the Signs number of the Southern Watchman has been issued. This number is full of Bible facts regarding the time in which we live and the meaning of the events now taking place around us. It makes plain what the world needs to know.
And now what is required is that this number of the paper shall be circulated, and this calls for effort, for earnest, whole-souled effort on the part of our people. The reports of the efforts already made and the success attending them are cheering.
The purpose of this note is to encourage our brethren to press on with this work. “Arise, shine; for thy light is come.” A. G. DANIELLS.

Field Notes

The church building at Noblesville, Ind., has been moved onto a new lot, a vestibule has been added in front, new paper is being put on inside, and the outside will be repainted. It is intended, when this work is completed, to hold a series of meetings and try to revive the work at Noblesville.
The following tent companies will be in Southern Illinois this summer: Elders Chas. Thompson and P. G. Stanley and Miss Annie Durrie at Danville; Elders C. L. Taggart and M. G. Huffman and Miss May Craig at Decatur; and Brethren F. W. Wheeler and E. L. Cardy at Irving.
The Peoria, Ill., sanitarium is prospering and accomplishing a good work. Brother R. B. Craig reports that the people of Peoria “show their appreciation of the sanitarium by sending their friends and relatives to receive treatment and care. The Lord’s blessing is attending the work, so that the sick are being healed, and many are asking for spiritual help.” “Some have already quit the use of tea, coffee, meat, etc. Many of our city physicians are co-operating with us, and they and the patients they send us, say that they believe the seventh day is the Sabbath.”

What Is Worth While in Education?

By B. E. CRAWFORD

  • (Concluded) *
Next in importance to the study of the Bible are the subjects of physiology, hygiene, and cooking. The Lord through his Spirit has given us special instruction regarding these subjects.
“Those who understand physiology and hygiene will, in their ministerial labor, find it a means whereby they may enlighten others in regard to the proper and intelligent treatment of the physical, mental, and moral powers. Therefore those who are preparing for the ministry should make a diligent study of the human organism, that they may know how to care for the body, not by means of drugs, but from nature’s own laboratory.” “The ambassadors of Christ, those to whom have been committed the living oracles of God, can be doubly useful if they know how to help the sick.”
“Do not neglect to teach your children how to cook. . . . Skill is required to make good light bread. There is religion in good cooking, and I question the religion of that class who are too ignorant and too careless to learn to cook.”
“Our sisters often do not know how to cook. To such I would say, I would go to the very best cook that could be found in the country, and remain there if necessary for weeks, until I had become mistress of the art,—an intelligent, skilful cook. I would pursue this course if I were forty years old. It is your duty to know how to cook, and it is your duty to teach your daughters to cook. When you are teaching them the art of cookery, you are building around them a barrier that will preserve them from the folly and vice which they may otherwise be tempted to engage in. I prize my seamstress, I value my copyist; but my cook, who knows well how to prepare the food to sustain life and nourish brain, bone, and muscle, fills the most important place among the helpers in my family.”
“There are more souls lost from poor cooking than you have any idea of. It produces sickness, disease, and bad tempers; the system becomes deranged, and heavenly things can not be discerned.”
One of the most important subjects for study is nature in all its different phases. “In pleasant weather let parents walk with their children in the fields and groves. Amid the beautiful things of nature tell them the reason for the institution of the Sabbath. Describe to them God’s great work of creation. Tell them that when the earth came forth from his hand, it was holy and beautiful. Every flower, every shrub, every tree, answered the purpose of its Creator. Everything upon which the eye rested was lovely, and filled the mind with thoughts of the love of God. Every sound was music, in harmony with the voice of God. Show that it was sin which marred God’s perfect work; that thorns and thistles, sorrow and pain and death, are all the result of disobedience to God. Bid them see how the earth, though marred with the curse of sin, still reveals God’s goodness. The green fields, the lofty trees, the glad sunshine, the clouds, the dew, the solemn stillness of the night, the glory of the starry heavens, and the moon in its beauty, all bear witness of the Creator. Not a drop of rain falls, not a ray of light is shed on our unthankful world, but it testifies to the forbearance and the love of God.”
“Parents, why not make use of the precious lessons which God has given us in the book of nature, to give our children a correct idea of his character?”
In studying the works of God that we see about us on every hand, we are following Christ’s example; for he was a diligent student of nature. “He who made all things studied the lessons which his own hand had written in earth, and sea, and sky. Apart from the unholy ways of the world, he gathered stores of scientific knowledge from nature. He studied the life of plants and animals, and the life of man.”
Another matter of great importance is education in industrial lines. Much precious instruction has been given to us as a people on this subject.
“The students are in our schools for a special training, to become acquainted with all lines of work, that should they go out as missionaries, they could be self-reliant and able, through their educated ability, to furnish themselves with necessary conveniences and facilities. Whether men or women, they should learn to mend, wash, and keep their own clothes in order. They should be able to cook their own meals. They should be familiar with agriculture and with mechanical pursuits.”
“Some do not appreciate the value of agricultural work. These should not plan for our schools; for they will hold everything from advancing in right lines. In the past their influence has been a hindrance.”
“The industrial instruction should include the keeping of accounts, carpentry, and everything that is comprehended in farming. Preparation should also be made for teaching blacksmithing, painting, shoemaking, cooking, baking, laundering, mending, typewriting, and printing.”
An essential part of education in which many are sadly lacking, is true refinement, courtesy, and proper reserve and modesty. For want of instruction in these things, many children and young people are ruining their reputation, their character, their usefulness in this life, and their prospects for eternity.
“Satan controls the minds of the youth in general. Your daughters are not taught self-denial and self-control. They are petted, and their pride is fostered. They are allowed to have their own way, until they become headstrong and self-willed, and you are put to your wits’ end to know what course to pursue to save them from ruin. Satan is leading them on to be a proverb in the mouth of unbelievers, because of their boldness, their lack of reserve and womanly modesty. The young boys are likewise left to have their own way. They have scarcely entered their teens before they are by the side of little girls of their own age, accompanying them home and making love to them. And the parents are so completely in bondage through their own indulgence and mistaken love for their children, that they dare not pursue a decided course to make a change and restrain their too-fast children in this fast age.”
These are some of the things that are of special importance in our educational work. Of course there are many branches of study which are important that I have not mentioned in particular. All the common branches are necessary, and the higher mathematics, rhetoric, literature, the ancient and modern languages, and other studies, should receive such consideration as is demanded by circumstances, and by the needs of the student.
In the work of education much can be done by home training, and by individual effort outside of the school-room; but those who are privileged to attend our denominational schools certainly have greater opportunities for Christian training and education than do others.
Let all our young people arouse to the needs of the hour, and prepare to do something for God, and that without delay, for the night cometh when no man can work.
B. E. CRAWFORD.

The Advance

By F. G.

As we look back over the past five or six years, we are impressed with the wonderful strides which, as a denomination, we have made in some phases of our school work. This is particularly true in the matter of our church-schools. During these years the number of these schools has increased amazingly. Hundreds and thousands of our children have been taken from the schools of the world and placed in our own schools, in order that they might receive an education which aims to fit them not only to be useful in this life, but to enjoy the one to come.
The motive that has inspired our people in this work, which, when we look at it in the aggregate, is indeed a great one, is a pure and unselfish one; for surely no parents, from any other motive, could possibly desire to take their children from good public schools, where they can obtain a thorough knowledge of facts, and place them in schools where the facilities for carrying on educational work are often not nearly so good, and where a larger per cent of the teachers, owing to the newness of our work, are inexperienced.
The Lord has plainly pointed out to us the importance of our church-school work, and he can but honor the faith and action of those who thus seek to do his bidding. Our children may not make all that advancement in knowledge, as the world looks at it, that they would in the public schools, but they may gain a life and character which is far in advance of what they could gain in these other schools.
It must be admitted that there are weak places in our church-school work. This might naturally be expected when we consider what is involved in the starting of such a reform as we have begun. But the fact that there may be weak points in our church-school work to-day, owing to the many difficulties which are experienced in the matter of securing properly qualified teachers, proper locations for holding a school, adequate means of support, the right text-books, and other facilities for the proper conducting of our work, offers no excuse for the continuance of these weak points. Our schools should be more thorough and systematic than are the schools of the world. It is, indeed, the duty of every Seventh-day Adventist to make a study of this educational question, and to seek by every means to overcome each point of weakness in our work as it is now being carried on, and to make it one of strength. This is the line of advance along which this people must move.
The Lord has spoken concerning the importance of our educating our children in his fear and to his glory and honor. Here, as with every other word of the Lord, is brought to us a responsibility which we can not shirk, and with a proper discharging of this responsibility will come a corresponding blessing from the Lord, and with it prosperity to his cause of truth. F. G.

NOTICES AND APPOINTMENTS

Current Mention

— The Russian ruler of Finland was assassinated at Helsingfors by a student, the son of a Finnish senator, June 16.
— A man named Spangler, an ex-merchant of York, Pa., is posing in New York City as a prophet. Among other things he affirms that the end of the world will come in 1908. Considerable space is devoted to his predictions by the papers.
— Justice Gaynor, of the New York supreme court, has given a decision against Sunday ball playing, which pleases the clergymen who have been combatting Sunday sport in New York City. He holds that professional baseball playing on Sunday is illegal under the Sunday law.
— The papal cardinal Satolli arrived in Washington, June 18. It is announced that he is to dine with Secretary Taft and also to lunch with the president. There is much speculation as to the character of his mission here, and talk of the establishment of a papal nunciature at Washington continues to be persistent.
— Not much is heard at the present time of Turkish atrocities in Armenia, but that they have not ceased is evidenced by dispatches, such as the following, dated at London, June 16: “A dispatch to The Daily Mail from Constantinople says that the consular reports confirm the destruction of many Armenian villages in the Sassun district. The number of killed is estimated to exceed 3,000 persons.”
— Recent features of the war in the Far East are a battle fought at Vafango, about fifty-five miles north of Port Arthur, in which a Russian force under General Stakelberg was defeated by the Japanese, with a loss of 2,000 men and a number of cannon; and a raid by the Vladivostock squadron, which encountered and sank two Japanese transports on board, which were about 1,000 men. The siege of Port Arthur continues.
— Eighty-seven union miners, including a number of union officials, in the territory of the recent disturbances in Colorado, are indicted for murder, charged with complicity in the crime at Independence, where non-union miners were killed with dynamite. A manifesto by the mine employers in Teller County declares that the Western Federation of Miners, the Trades Assembly, walking delegates, and labor agitators are to remain banished from that section of the State.
— News is received from Cuba of a destructive hurricane, said to be the worst in years, which swept over the eastern half of the island, beginning June 10 and continuing to the 13th. Fourteen inches of rain fell in five hours, causing rivers and creeks to become floods which destroyed houses and swept their inmates to death. Great damage to property is reported from Santiago and Guantanamo. The village of El Cobre was destroyed, and at that place the greatest loss of life was reported, forty-five dead being known, with many others missing.
— The demands of the Moorish brigand Raisouli upon the sultan of Morocco, as the conditions of the release of his American and English captives, are reported as follows: First, the dismissal of the governor of Tangier; second, the disbanding of the northern army; third, the payment of £11,000 ransom; fourth, the release of all tribesmen; fifth, the arrest and imprisonment of certain government sheiks whom Raisouli accuses of having been parties to his original arrest; sixth, a grant by the sultan of the villages and districts, Zenat and Alrish, to be entirely independent of the Moorish government and under Raisouli’s sole jurisdiction. Also absolute control of no less than four Moorish provinces, and that no less than three nations, including the United States, shall guarantee the absolute performance of the sultan’s promise.
— The mortality list from the appalling catastrophe to the Sunday-school picnic crowd on the steamer “Slocum,” June 15, is still not definitely ascertained, but it is believed will approximate to 1,000. A large number of these were small children and infants, of whom no account was made in the sale of tickets. The captain and pilots on the ill-fated craft are under arrest. The responsibility for the gross negligence which allowed such a floating fire trap to be crowded full of women and children, and for the rotten and worthless condition of the life preservers which the steamer carried, remains to be fixed, for this responsibility extends beyond the owners of the boat. No adequate explanation is given for the captain’s remarkable conduct in racing his boat for nearly half a mile against a strong breeze which carried the flames directly over the steamer and the human throngs which filled it, when he might have gained the shore of the river by going only three hundred feet. It is stated that while there are laws which provide for the inspection of the machinery of a boat, and limit its carrying capacity in passengers, there is no law under which a boat can be condemned as unsafe by reason of the material of which it is constructed. The “Slocum” was largely of wooden construction, and being thirteen years old, the woodwork was thoroughly dried and in condition to burn easily and quickly when once ignited. The fire is said to have originated in the most inexcusable carelessness, two barrels of glassware intended for the barroom having just been received, in which the glass was packed in hay, this hay on removal from the barrels being thrown down in a room where there were quantities of oil. Report adds one more feature to make the carelessness complete—a lighted cigar in the mouth of some devotee of the weed. Under this combination the rest soon followed. Divers who examined the wreck found evidence that no attempt had been made to operate the fire-extinguishing apparatus. The men employed on the boat were mostly roustabouts from whom no discipline or concerted action could be expected. It is certainly an anomalous kind of legislation which compels theaters, from which the people can escape to the street and safety, to be of fire-proof material, and allows excursion boats, outside of which, when away from shore, there is no safety, but only certain death for those unable to swim, to be so constructed and operated as to make them veritable death traps.

Obituaries

WILBUR.—Died at the home of her parents, in Grand Rapids, Mich., May 22, 1904, little Eva M. Wilbur, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wilbur. Although only a little past five years of age, her unusual brightness and kindly ways had endeared her to all who knew her. Her parents are sustained by the hope of soon seeing her again. W. H. HECKMAN.
VANCIL.—Died at Welsh, La., May 19, 1904, Williamson Vancil, aged 99 years, 7 months, and 8 days. Our brother was converted when eighteen years of age, uniting with the Dunkards. In 1860 he accepted present truth at Princeville, Ill. Having survived three wives and nine children, since 1894 he made his home with his only living child, Mrs. Laura E. Goodale, of Estherwood, La. Brother Vancil died suddenly while visiting with brethren at Welsh. Funeral services were conducted in the M. E. church at Estherwood, by the writer, assisted by the pastor of the church. HERBERT H. DEXTER.
CHAPPELL.—Died at the Victory Hospital, Montreal, Canada, Feb. 27, 1904, Sister Alice Chappell, aged 46 years. Our sister accepted the Sabbath truth in 1892. She was a devoted sister, a faithful wife, a loving mother, leaving four children to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer; text, Rev. 14:13. H. J. PARMAN.
HESLOP.—Fell asleep in Jesus at Twenty-five Miles, Costa Rica, Central America, Jan. 11, 1904, Josephine E. Heslop, aged 9 years, and 2 months. Josephine showed a sincere love for her Saviour and the third angel’s message. The last Sabbath she was with us, she offered the following prayer: “Father, I thank thee that thou hast kept me alive to see another Sabbath day. Bless me, bless the brethren, and save me at last in thy kingdom. Amen.” Words of comfort were spoken by Elder H. Mignott, local. JOHN THOMPSON.
BURNETT.—Died at Decatur, Mich., May 26, 1904, Mrs. Deborah E. Burnett, aged 59 years, 11 months, and 26 days. At an early age Sister Burnett accepted her Saviour, and united with the Baptist Church. In the summer of 1886 she fully accepted all the doctrines held by Seventh-day Adventists. She leaves a husband, two children, and four grandchildren to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken to a large and attentive audience by the writer. W. C. HEBNER.
DECKER.—Died in Huntingdon, Pa., April 1, 1904, of typhoid fever, my daughter, Mrs. Mattie Decker, aged 33 years. Her sickness was of a violent character and of short duration. Mattie was brought up in the truth, and loved it dearly. It was to her an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast; and her faith reached within the veil, taking hold upon him who is mighty to save. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken by Brother W. F. Swartz, from Rev. 14:13. J. D. MULHOLLEN.
HENDERSON.—Died at Boulder, Colo., Dec. 29, 1903, of apoplexy, Isaac Henderson, aged 68 years, 6 months, and 13 days. He was born in Winchester, Ontario, and in 1863 he and his wife moved to Dundas, Minn., where they accepted present truth. In 1886 they moved to Richardson, N. D., becoming members of the Bismarck church. Last fall they moved to Dickinson, and in December he accompanied his wife, whose health was failing, to Boulder, Colo., where, soon after their arrival, he suffered a stroke of apoplexy. It was ever his delight to talk or sing of Jesus’ love and of the beautiful home he is preparing. He leaves a wife and six children. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Dickinson, the text being Eccl. 7:2, and the remains were laid to rest in the Dickinson Cemetery. MRS. T. E. YEAKEL.
HACKETT.—James Hackett was born in Liverpool, England, Dec. 7, 1827, and died at his home near Fulton, Kan., June 5, 1904. He came to America in 1850, and accepted present truth in 1866. He adhered closely to the principles of the third angel’s message, and since 1890 was a member of the church at Galena, Kan. Becoming too feeble for active service, he settled in a little cottage on his farm in 1894, where he spent his time in searching the Scriptures and in the perusal of literature containing the message for the time. He was a close observer of the signs of the times, and looked forward to the soon appearing of our Lord. He leaves a wife, one daughter, eight grandchildren, and seven brothers, besides numerous friends and relatives, to mourn their loss. There being no minister of our faith accessible, a short service was conducted by a Methodist minister, after which interment was made at Fairview Cemetery. ESTELLA SECRIST.

Kansas Camp-Meeting

By C. McREYNOLDS

The State camp-meeting in Kansas will be held in the city of Wichita, in Payne’s Park, August 25 to September 4. Reduced rates will be secured over all railroads in the State. We are promised excellent help for our camp-meeting. Elder E. W. Farnsworth, who has just returned from Australia, will be with us. Many of our people in Kansas still remember his soul-stirring testimonies of former years. Elder H. Shultz and Prof. C. C. Lewis will also be in attendance. Begin to plan now, and do not fail to come.
Our meeting grounds are near the site of the new sanitarium. We hope to have the building enclosed and covered by August 20. What we have will be free from debt. Particulars about the camp-meeting will be published later.
C. McREYNOLDS, Conference President.

Alberta Camp-Meeting

By J. W. Boynton

The first Seventh-day Adventist camp-meeting in Alberta is appointed for July 12-17, 1904. The Lord has blessed us with a new tent, twenty-four by thirty-six feet, for meeting purposes, and two small tents for dwelling purposes; most of our brethren have small tents which they can bring with them. We can not rent any tents, as the demand for them is greater than the supply.
This meeting will be held in Ponoka, in connection with the tent-meetings that we expect to begin in a few days. We have promise of help from our union conference committee, and more than all, promise of help from the King of kings. We are very anxious that as many as possible of our dear people shall attend this meeting. It may mean a sacrifice, and some extra work and expense; but, brethren, we need the blessing of God so much that we can not afford to let small things stand in our way. All will be done that can be to make expenses as small as possible. Bring plenty of bedding, and tents. If you do not have tents, come anyway, and a place will be found for you. Provisions of all kinds can be bought in Ponoka as cheap as in your home towns.
Help will be provided in the German and Scandinavian languages, as we shall expect our friends of foreign tongues to come also. The main thing is to come seeking God with all our hearts. “Come thou with us, and we will do thee good.” J. W. BOYNTON.

World's Fair Home, St. Louis

By R. C. Porter; Dr. F. B. Moran; A. D. Gilbert

THE readers of the REVIEW AND HERALD may be interested to know that a home for our missionary workers has been established in St. Louis for the summer, where visitors to the World's Fair may find accommodation if they wish to stop with us while in the city. Our home is within one mile of the fair grounds, with a bus line passing the door, and street-cars near. Strangers in the city may be glad of the following directions: In front of the union station take the Market Street car going west; at Sarah Street change to the Suburban going south, and get off at Belleview Avenue. Our house is the first one on the left-hand side of the road as you walk north. There are some tents pitched in the yard, so there will be no difficulty in finding the place.
Our terms are as follows: lodging, 50 cents per night; breakfast, 25 cents; dinner, when ordered, 35 cents.
As we have no servants, visitors are expected to care for their own rooms while with us. Before coming, please make all arrangements by correspondence with A. D. Gilbert; 7301 Blanche Ave., Ellendale Sta., St. Louis. R. C. PORTER, DR. F. B. MORAN, A. D. GILBERT, Committee.

Placing the Review in Every Family

A CONFERENCE president who has been connected with this work for many years, writes: “We shall do all we can for the REVIEW. I am much pleased with the turn the REVIEW has taken, and shall not be satisfied until we have placed it in every family of our brethren in ——.” This is the plan which we would like to see carried out in every conference in this country; and we are fully persuaded that the interests of our work would be greatly advanced thereby. We earnestly invite all the other conference presidents to unite with us in accomplishing this result in their respective fields.
