News and Miscellany

— By a majority vote of 18,000, New Mexico ratified her State constitution in an election, January 22.
— It is computed that there are 8,000,000 young people in the United States between the ages of five and eighteen years who do not attend any Sunday-school or regular church service.
— It is claimed by some of the labor union leaders that more than one hundred workmen are killed every day in the United States. The number of killed and permanently injured annually is 536,000. Three times more workmen, proportionately, are killed in the United States than in any European country.
— The opening of the Japanese port of Tsuruga has made it possible to circumnavigate the earth in thirty-seven days. Leaving Seattle or Vancouver by a steamer, a traveler may land in Yokohama in twelve days. By taking train to Tsuruga and steamer to the trans-Siberian railroad terminus, and continuing by the fastest train to London, he may cover the distance from Yokohama in sixteen days. By the fastest steamers and trains he may travel from London to Seattle in a little more than nine days.
— The new battle-ship “Arkansas,” recently launched at Camden, N. J., carries in its primary battery twelve twelve-inch guns, ten of which can be fired at broadside at the same instant, all aimed at the same target.
— Twelve anarchists convicted of conspiracy against the throne and the lives of the imperial family were put to death in Tokyo, January 24. Twenty-four were condemned to death, but the sentences of one half the number were changed to life imprisonment.
— The earthquake which occurred January 4 in the territory of Semiryetchensk, Turkestan, destroyed many cities, and it is estimated that 15,000 persons perished. Vast cracks in the earth, extending for nearly fifty miles, make rescue work extremely hazardous.
— Edmund Thery, the French economist, figures that the maintenance of Europe’s armed peace footing in the last twenty-five years cost approximately $29,000,000,000, which involved an increase in the public debt of the European states of nearly $30,000,000, and excluded from productive industry 195,000 officers and 3,800,000 men.
— According to Dr. Andrew B. White, former ambassador to Germany, the number of murders committed in the United States during 1910 was 8,975, an increase of 900 over the year preceding. Only one murderer in eighty-six suffered the death penalty. The number of murders in the United States is to the number in England as 116 is to 6.
— All Europe is suffering from excessive moisture. England has had continuous rains; in France the chief rivers are flooded; in Spain almost all rivers have overflowed their banks. Landslides and washouts have been continuous in Italy. The lakes and rivers of Switzerland are rising. In Russia the Dnieper has risen twenty feet, sweeping away villages.
— In London, July 26-29 of the present year, will be held a great universal race congress. The object of this gathering is to consider the general relations existing between the peoples of the West and those of the East, and between the white and colored races. It is hoped by this means to encourage between these various nationalities better understanding and more hearty co-operation.
— Recently explorations in Palestine have uncovered what are believed to be the oldest specimens of Hebrew writing. These consist of labels prepared for bottles of pure wine. They are found in what is claimed to be the palace of King Ahab in Samaria, and are reputed to be 3,000 years old. The labels were written with ink, and the writing differs in many respects from that of other existing Hebrew manuscripts.
— The advance of the bubonic plague is leaving an appalling record of fatality in its wake in the far East. It has traversed the length of Siberia and Russia, broken through the Japanese quarantine in Manchuria and Korea, visited a number of the Chinese seaports, and at last penetrated into the interior as far as Peking. It is causing much concern to the country, and particularly to the foreign legations in that city. The various legations have taken energetic steps to protect their inmates.
— According to a recent report of the Labor Bureau for the ten years ending in 1908, 29,293 miners were killed in mine accidents. The per cent of death to one thousand is 3.11, which is decidedly higher in fatalities than in other important coal-fields of the world. This is considered due to the fact that mining methods in the United States are crude, and safety precautions often disregarded.
— According to conservative estimates, the amount of British capital invested in the colonies and in countries outside of England, reaches the enormous sum of $17,000,000,000. In the United States $3,440,000,000 has been invested, mostly in railroad securities; $1,900,000,000 of British capital is found in Australia; $1,862,705,000 in Canada; India and Ceylon have $1,826,995,000. There is due England from other countries approximately as follows: Brazil, $470,000,000; Mexico, $435,000,000; Chile, $230,000,000; Uruguay, $175,000,000; Peru, $170,000,000; Japan, $268,500,000. China, Turkey, and Russia are likewise debtors to English capital in large amounts, and Egypt owes to English creditors $220,000,000.
— The secretary of the National Fire Protection Association gives some startling figures concerning the United States fire loss. In Europe the per capita fire tax is three cents; in the United States it is thirty cents. In Europe there are eight fires to every 10,000 people; in the United States there are forty to the same number of population. Berlin, with a population of 3,000,000, has an annual fire loss of $175,000, and its fire department annually costs $300,000. Chicago, with a population of 2,000,000, has an annual loss of $5,000,000, and its fire department costs annually $3,000,000. The annual fire loss in the United States is $250,000,000. Of this seventy per cent might be saved, as this proportion of fires is shown to be due to some specific hazard, which might be removed. The chief cause of fire loss in the United States is the prodigal use of wood as building material.

The Philippine Islands

By E. R. P.

ACCOMPANYING the monthly summary, Elder L. V. Finster sends the following word concerning the work in the Philippine Islands:—
“Our report is small, as a large part of the month was used in delivering and in getting to work in new territory. Brother R. A. Caldwell is now making the first trip to northern Luzon. None of our southern islands here have ever been touched, and they are the richest of all the group. Brother Caldwell has delivered about fifteen hundred copies of ‘Patriarchs and Prophets’ and one thousand copies of ‘Coming King’ in the island of Luzon, and has worked only a part of it. I am very anxious that some one start soon to work in these southern islands. Sending out canvassers will not make a very heavy drain on the funds of the General Conference, and they are our best pioneer workers. We have been encouraged by seeing about a dozen natives take their stand for the truth during the past few weeks.”
For about two years now we have been searching diligently for one or two experienced young men to take up work with Brethren Finster and Caldwell in the Philippine Islands. Undoubtedly the Lord has some one in preparation for that interesting field. We wish to get in touch with any of our canvassers who may feel a burden for that field.
E. R. P.

California Conference Annual Meeting

By Stephen N. Haskell; Claude Conard

THE fortieth annual session of the California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in Fresno, Cal., Feb. 9-19, 1911, for the election of officers for the ensuing year, and to transact any other business which may come before the conference at that time. The first business meeting of the session will be held at 9 A. M., February 10. Each church is entitled to one delegate for the church, without regard to the membership, and one additional delegate for every twenty members. The usual reduction of one and one-third fare for the round trip will be granted for this conference. Lodging will be furnished free to all delegates by the Fresno church.
S. N. HASKELL, President; CLAUDE CONARD, Secretary.

St. Helena Training School

The next class in the St. Helena Sanitarium and Hospital Training School for Medical Missionary Nurses will be organized Tuesday, April 4, 1911. Owing to the large number and great variety of cases that flock to this institution for relief, and the wide experience thus offered the students in both surgical and general hospital nursing, the course is especially strong, from a practical missionary standpoint. In addition to the opportunities for missionary work at the sanitarium, the San Francisco Dispensary, which the institution has taken over, affords training in city mission work. The institution has also undertaken to open up mission work in China the present year, thus giving a special opportunity to those who desire a definite foreign mission field for which to prepare and upon which to enter when their course is completed.
Twenty-five consecrated young men and women, whose desire is to enter the work for the sake of fallen humanity and not for profit, are wanted to join this class.
Send for the Training School Calendar, addressing Dr. H. F. Rand, Superintendent, or Mrs. S. J. Whitney, Secretary, Sanitarium, Napa Co., Cal.

Obituaries

HOOPER.—Vernard Harvey Hooper, infant son of T. J. and Ethel Hooper, was born March 26, 1910, and died at their home near Waurika, Okla., Jan. 6, 1911, aged nine months and eleven days. He was laid away in the Hastings cemetery to await the call of the Life-giver, and we rest in the promise that he shall come again from the land of the enemy. H. L. WILCOX.
PIERCE.—John Nathaniel Pierce, oldest son of Brother and Sister F. E. Pierce, of South Lancaster, Mass., came to a sudden death, Jan. 5, 1911, while switching on a freight-train in the yards at Worcester, Mass. He was twenty-two years old, and his parents brought him up in the truth. At the time of his death he was working for a railway company, endeavoring to earn money to make his parents more comfortable. Words of hope and comfort were spoken to his parents, relatives, and a large company of mourners and friends at the South Lancaster church, Jan. 8, 1911. His parents and four brothers are left to mourn. F. C. GILBERT.
TILLMAN.—Fanny McCutcheon was born in Hopeville, Iowa, Aug. 12, 1871; was married to Virgil C. Tillman in February, 1894; and died Jan. 16, 1911, at Lawton, Okla., aged 39 years, 4 months, and 4 days. With her husband she came to Oklahoma in 1901. She was the mother of four sons and one daughter. In early life she gave her heart to God, and about six years ago gladly accepted the truths of the third angel’s message. Though a sufferer for nine years, she never murmured, but trusted in God, and her Christian faith never wavered. She leaves her husband, three sons, one daughter, and other relatives and many friends to mourn. ANDREW NELSON.
PLANT.—Carrie Rosilla Pierce Plant was born at Westminster, Vt., Dec. 12, 1839. With her parents she removed to Manchester, Wis., in 1866. April 2, 1867, she was married to R. L. Taylor, of Golden Prairie, Iowa. While in the South, her husband lost his life in a burning building. In November, 1904, she came to Berlin, Wis., and was united in marriage to Louis Plant. On her seventy-first birthday, Dec. 12, 1910, she fell asleep. Her aged husband and many friends are left to mourn. She was laid to rest in Golden Prairie, Iowa, to await the call of the Life-giver. The funeral services were conducted by the Congregational minister of that place. T. G. LEWIS.
WALKER.—Jan. 7, 1911, Sister Nettie Walker, in her seventy-second year, attended the Sabbath service in the church at Minneapolis, Minn., and one week from that day her death occurred. Sister Walker was born in Lewis County, New York, in 1839. She was brought up a Seventh-day Baptist, and always revered the Sabbath; she has been connected with our people for nearly thirty years, being a faithful and consistent Christian. She leaves three children and other relatives to mourn their loss. The writer spoke words of comfort and hope at the funeral service, January 8, in Minneapolis. The following day the body was taken to her old home, near Glencoe, Minn., where interment was made. R. A. UNDERWOOD.
MILES.—Died of old age at his home in Locke, N. Y., Jan. 14, 1911, William E. Miles, aged 86 years, 3 months, and 20 days. Father’s Christian experience began in early life. He was first a Methodist; ten years ago he and mother, who at the age of eighty-three still survives, took another advance step by accepting the true Sabbath, and becoming members of the Genoa Seventh-day Adventist church. Their love for spiritual things caused them to open their house for the meetings of the church, which had been practically disbanded through deaths and removals. The pastors of the Baptist and Methodist churches, who had visited them often, were invited to officiate at the funeral. Father leaves an elder son, a daughter, and other relatives. We have the assurance that he will have a part in the first resurrection. E. E. MILES.
OBERHOLTZER.—Henry W. Oberholtzer, infant son of Brother and Sister S. B. Oberholtzer, fell asleep at Stanton, Mich., aged eleven months and three days. All felt comforted at the thought of meeting him at the coming of Jesus. C. A. HANSEN.
HALLY.—Fell asleep Jan. 16, 1911, at her home in Grand Rapids, Mich., Oreal Hally, aged ten years and twenty days. She will not only be missed in the home, where she was the only child, but in the Sabbath-school and neighborhood, where she was held in high esteem. C. A. HANSEN.
HOWARD.—Eva Alice Howard, daughter of R. A. Howard, was born in Louisburg Township, Montgomery Co., Kan., Jan. 26, 1886. When she was four years old, she was ill with spinal fever, and has been a helpless invalid since March, 1910. She was taken to the State Home at Winfield, Kan., where she died on December 14, aged 24 years, 10 months, and 15 days. The body was brought to Elk City, and funeral services were held in the Adventist church, in charge of B. E. Cole. Interment was made in Oak Hill Cemetery, where the remains were followed by a number of sorrowing relatives and friends.
HUMPHREY.—Died Jan. 12, 1911, at Lodi, Cal., Nancy Elizabeth Humphrey, aged 66 years, 5 months, and 22 days. Sister Humphrey was born July 20, 1844, just a few weeks before the great disappointment of the advent people. In the early part of the nineties she learned the truth, and accepted the message under the labors of Elders Bliss and Colcord at DuQuoin, Ill., becoming a charter member of the church at that place. In 1897 she took a special course for Bible workers at Battle Creek, and from there went to Chicago to do Bible work. Her hope was strong in the soon coming of Jesus. Words of comfort and instruction were spoken by the writer. Text, Hosea 14:7. E. L. CARDEY.
BRADBURY.—Letty Catherine McGivra was born in Schuyler, Herkimer County, New York, Nov. 13, 1833, the day of the falling of the stars, and died Dec. 24, 1910, at Hinsdale, Ill. She was married to Henry Bradbury, Jan. 19, 1858, shortly after which they settled near Baraboo, Wis. To this union seven children were born, two of whom died in childhood. Thirty-five years ago Mrs. Bradbury accepted present truth, and was a consistent, faithful member of the Adventist church until the time of her death. She was a woman of deep religious experience, accepting life with a faith firmly anchored in the Word of God. Besides her aged husband, she leaves five children, a brother, a sister, and other relatives to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer at the funeral service at Hinsdale, while Elder H. H. Serns conducted the funeral service at Baraboo, where the deceased was interred. CHAS. T. EVERSON.
PEGG.—Joseph D. Pegg was born Aug. 11, 1847, in Paris, Ind., and died suddenly at his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 7, 1911, of apoplexy, aged 63 years, 5 months, and 4 days. At one time Brother Pegg was actively engaged in preaching the third angel’s message, but he had departed from the truth until recently, when he retraced his steps and amended his ways. He was thoroughly repentant and sorry for his past, and longed to be restored to the former joys and peace of heart. Sabbath, January 7, he was present at our services; and when opportunity for testimony was given, he testified with the rest and made confession. He stated his case briefly,—how he had once known the truth, but had left it and lived in sin; but now he was going to live the truth again. He said he did not know what the future had in store for him; but God knew, for he took him that very day. It seems to me he is like a brand plucked out of the burning, a soul saved in the last hour. Let us hope it is so. His wife, children, three brothers, and other relatives are left to mourn. Words of consolation were spoken by the writer to the friends and sorrowing ones, from Rev. 21:1-5. Interment was made at the Wesleyan Cemetery. JOHN P. GAede.

Sabbath Testimony and Book Sales

THE press telegraphic despatches tell of the testimony borne by one of our young men in Europe, sentenced to long imprisonment for refusing to work on the Sabbath. Newspapers in all parts of this country have printed the report, and doubtless those of other countries have as well. How quickly, in a great crisis, the sound of the truth might be carried out to all the world! May the Lord by his own counsel guide those who are called to pass through the severest of trials.
Good words from the Southern bookmen's convention, at Nashville, are brought us by Brother A. J. S. Bourdeau, who attended. Our brethren in the South are giving a strong lead in the sale of our books.

First Mission Recruits of the Year

THE first recruits of the year for mission fields are Brother Harold E. Sharp and wife, of Australia, who were to sail from Sydney for Java, East Indies, early in January.

Religious Liberty Work in Washington

In order to assist in the religious liberty work in connection with the closing weeks of Congress, Elder S. B. Horton, of the Atlantic Union Conference, is spending some time in Washington.

Articles on Acts Sabbath School Lessons

THE double article from the pen of Mrs. E. G. White will be found useful in the study of the Sabbath-school lessons in the book of Acts. Further articles on the lesson scripture and incidents will follow from week to week.

Prescott Returns from India

Last week Elder W. W. Prescott reached Washington on his return from India. He brings a good report of the work in India and Burma, and letters from those fields tell of blessings coming to the believers through his labors and counsels.

West Indian Union Conference Report

A LETTER from Prof. H. R. Salisbury reports the closing of the West Indian Union Conference in Jamaica. “I shall have a good report to bring,” he says. Brother Salisbury returns by way of Cuba and the South, where he will visit school centers.

Blessings from Special Prayer and Fasting

WE hear from various parts of blessings experienced by believers in the observance of the day of special prayer and fasting. Let us hold on by faith, dedicating means and time to service, and expecting great things from God in the work of winning souls.

Arabic Language Spreads in Africa

ONE sign of the pushing progress of the Moslem religion in Africa is the spread of the Arabic tongue. Elder D. C. Babcock, of the West Coast Mission, says: “Arabic is the only language that is taught in the far hinterland. Everywhere I go, I find Arabic scholars, and am often asked for literature in that language.”

Foreign Postage for Bahama Mail

Those writing to workers in the Bahama Islands — particularly correspondents in our offices — should note that the foreign rate, five cents, is necessary. Elder W. A. Sweany reports that he has had to pay dollars in postal fines to get mail that was insufficiently stamped. This report often comes from foreign fields. All stenographic workers in our offices should keep this in mind.

Conradi Reports on South American Work

After attending general meetings and conferences in various parts of South America, Elder L. R. Conradi reached Europe about the tenth of January. He was greatly impressed by the growth of the South American countries and the possibilities of our future work there. The Brazilian Union Conference was organized during his stay, Elder F. W. Spies being elected president. Brazil especially needs more workers, as an area half as large as the United States is without a single laborer. Our brethren in South America speak of the great help that Elder Conradi's visit has been to their work.

The 1911 Year Book

OPPORTUNITY is now offered secretaries and others to report final corrections before printing the 1911 Year Book. Such changes must be reported immediately on receipt of this notice, either by wire or letter, to H. E. Rogers, Takoma Park, D. C.

A Good Record

By William T. Knox

A REPORT recently received from the East Michigan Conference contains some interesting and encouraging items, showing the development of the work in that conference from a financial standpoint, by contrasting the results of the year 1910 with those of 1904.
1910 1904 GAIN
Tithe $26,567.61 $13,756.82 $12,810.79
Total funds 39,542.49 16,680.02 22,862.47
Sent abroad 15,271.86 3,882.29 11,389.57
S. S. offerings 2,168.15 706.43 1,461.72
Tithe per capita 14.38 7.01
In 1904 the conference was indebted to the General Conference Association to the amount of $6,503.42, which amount has been paid in full. An indebtedness of $2,000 to the Lake Union Conference has also been provided for. The tract society is reported out of debt, with a balance to its credit of over $4,600. In addition to this, a good start has been made by this conference in raising its apportionment of the $300,000 Fund, with the expectation that the entire amount will be provided for before the close of the present year. These are certainly encouraging figures, and we trust that the year 1911 will show fully as great a development as any of the preceding six years. W. T. Knox.
