The terrible conditions existing in Europe have appalled the world, for never in history has such an extensive calamity occurred. The results no man can foretell, save that there will be untold suffering in every nation involved, and unnumbered lives be sacrificed. The deep interest and anxiety felt by all is evidenced by the eagerness with which the really meager and conflicting news items appearing in the daily newspapers are scanned.
While reading these reports of the mobilization of vast armies and of the battles in progress, every Seventh-day Adventist has been deeply concerned over our brethren in these troubled lands. What effect will the war have on them? What will be the effect upon our work in general? It would be unreasonable to presume that the European Division Conference, embracing the territory that is now racked with war and drenched with blood, should be unaffected. It has been with great anxiety, therefore, that the General Conference Committee has looked for direct word from our European brethren. No news was received from them after war was declared, until August 14, when letters written under date of August 2 reached the General Conference Office. That all may know the real situation, the letter from Elder Conradi is published in full:—
“EN ROUTE ENGLAND TO FLUSHING, HOLLAND, August 2.
“DEAR BROTHER KNOX: Quick as a flash of lightning the Continent has been involved in the most terrible struggle the world probably has ever witnessed. The outcome no one can foresee. We left Hamburg last Tuesday to attend the British Union Conference in London. Then there were no definite signs. —Elders Raft and Tieche and I attended. We have had good meetings up to today, but as the war has definitely broken out we have to take our chances on getting home. Only Holland is open, and should England be involved we shall be almost entirely cut off. We shall have an experience that we have never really had since our denominational existence, directly involving about 25,000 of our people; and within a few days probably 2,000 of our brethren will be under arms.
“I hope to get back to Hamburg by tonight or tomorrow, and we shall have to organize our European Division work as best we can. Conference presidents, ministers, employees, etc., will be taken within a day or two, and our canvassing, etc., will probably be entirely stopped. Russia is already cut off from us, and will have to finance itself, and we shall be cut off from our colonies and work in Africa. We supplied those mission fields with funds the last moment, and we shall send you statements; but if the war lasts six months, or even two, you will have to furnish money until normal conditions return.
“All these countries ought to be notified to cut down all possible expenses to the mere outlay of living until this is over. If England keeps out she can look after some colonies; if not, you will have to help us sustain the missions there. We sent $1,000 due you before matters became too serious. Those you will probably have to look after are Brother B. B. Aldrich, in the Canary Islands; R. S. Greaves and the workers in Sierra Leone; Elder D. C. Babcock, in Nigeria. W. M. Lewis and family, of the Gold Coast, are now on furlough in the Canary Islands, and he can delay his trip to the Coast if England becomes involved. Then there are A. A. Carscallen and the workers in British East Africa; B. Ohme and the workers in German Victoria Nyanza; also E. Kotz and all the workers in the Pare Mission, German East Africa.
“It may be that if Italy keeps out, the routes to East Africa will remain open, but we must prepare for the worst. Skodsborg, Denmark, has sufficient money for its new sanitarium buildings. In Gland, Switzerland, we have not begun to build the addition. We shall let everything rest, and cut our expenses down to the mere living. We call off all our meetings, and shall do our best to keep our members alive and doing their duty. We surely need the prayers of God's people, and wisdom to know how to arrange matters best in these trying times. Brother N. Z. Town will bring you the latest news, and I hope he can cross safely.
“Under present circumstances there is little hope of my going to the United States for the October council, or of the division conference meeting next July in Europe. Plans for visits to the fields from your side may have to be changed, unless war can be limited to a few European powers and to a short time. Our boat is so packed we have to sit up. Germans and Austrians had to leave France within a few hours' notice, and leave all behind but what they could carry. Many never got away and are held up. The United States ambassadors and consuls look after the foreigners,— Germans in France, and French in Germany, etc. Our hope is in God, who guides the destinies of the world, and who will protect his own, and will not allow his cause to suffer too terribly in the crucible of affliction. We know that our brethren in America will stand by our missions and brethren who are cut off from our division treasury. Remember us at the throne of grace.
“With kindest regards, your brother in Christ,
L. R. CONRADI.”
This communication sets forth the situation that confronts the denomination. It is evident that the work in Germany, the headquarters for our European Division, will be paralyzed. Their funds will be practically cut off. Upon their treasury is dependent not only the work in the strong and well-organized Protestant countries, but also that in the Catholic and Mohammedan fields, and all the purely mission territory that they have been operating without expense to the General Conference treasury. In this crisis, it will be impossible for us to deny their plea for help. To enable us to come to their assistance, word has been sent out to all our mission stations in Asia, South Africa, and South America, informing them of the situation and instructing them to cut down their expenses to a minimum,—to undertake no new work, nor any building operations,—in order that all money possible may thus be conserved for war time emergencies.
We must now appeal as never before to our brethren in America for financial assistance. Our mission receipts have been alarmingly small during the entire year, so that even under normal conditions we have been alarmed. Instead of receiving at the rate of twenty cents a week per member, our receipts have barely averaged ten cents a week; and yet the full amount called for is required for our work under normal conditions. Now, with Europe appealing to us for assistance, the situation is even more desperate than it has been in the past.
We are not discouraged, however. We are satisfied that the meagerness of our mission receipts has not been due to the inability of our people to make liberal offerings to the Lord; but other causes have intervened. Now, whatever these causes may have been, they must be set aside, and all must rally to the help of the Lord in the crisis in which we now find ourselves. God still rules in the affairs of the world; and if we are faithful, and do our part, we may rest assured that even this great calamity that has visited Europe will be caused by him in some way to redound to his glory and to the furtherance of his cause.
The General Conference Committee appeals to every Seventh-day Adventist now to come to the help of the Lord in liberal offerings, and urges that definite plans be made at once by every one to avail himself of every opportunity, such as the coming Harvest Ingathering campaign, to gather largely for the cause of God. The members of the committee feel confident that to this appeal there will be a general rally upon the part of all. This fund will be known as the Emergency Fund, and will be counted as part of the regular Twenty-cent-a-week Fund, available for Europe and all the world.

The “Review” Extra
By D. W. Reavis
ALL our REVIEW subscribers will soon have an opportunity to examine the REVIEW Extra, as a copy will be sent to all subscribers soon after the mailing of this present regular number. This Extra is issued at this most intense time to give a concise, historical, and Scriptural answer to the anxious question in the minds of nearly every adult of the world, “What do these things mean?”
Since our work began, there has never been a time so favorable to the giving of our message as today. The interest is intense, and the public mind is brought to the solemn consciousness of the presence of some serious event in the history of the world. The people do not know what it is, but are ready and anxious to give thoughtful consideration to any interpretation offered. The present time is, therefore, our golden opportunity to let the light which God has intrusted to us shine with great brilliancy and power throughout the world.
Now is the time for minutemen to spring forward with all the fervor that the power of the message imparts, and become swift messengers for the King. There should be no excuses, no “lions in the way,” no waiting for a more convenient time. As suddenly as the opening of the way, our response should be made. God has opened the way. He has led our editors in the prompt preparation of matter needed just now, and we believe every REVIEW reader will spring into the work of circulating the REVIEW Extra with all his might. That is the call just now.
The work has begun with remarkable promptness and magnitude. Orders from near-by places began to pour into the office as soon as it was decided to issue an extra dealing with the situation in Europe, the signs of the end, and the coming of the Lord; and as the news spread, the orders increased. Nearly all the orders received run up into thousands. Office girls, working for small salaries, take 1,000 each; ministers order from 1,000 to 3,000; conference tract societies, 5,000. The church of Washington, D. C., plans for 25,000 for the city of Washington alone. And all this before the printed notice of the Extra reaches the nearest points.
What may we expect when all learn of the Extra, and feel the spirit and power of the time of the loud cry urging them into earnest effort? A million and copies of this message-filled Extra will doubtless be placed in the homes of the people by our faithful readers in a very short time. No one should rob himself of the blessing accompanying this special work by failing to take part in it.
The price of the Extra is placed at cost, 50 cents a hundred, or $4 a thousand, postpaid. All orders should be sent through the conference tract society. D. W. REAVIS.

“Watchman” War Issue
By Editor
THERE has never been a more opportune time to present the third angel’s message or to show the world our position as a denomination on the Eastern Question than is now presented.
We could not let this sudden and awful development among the nations pass unnoticed until another issue of the Watchman should be ready; hence we have delayed our September number a day or two in order that it may include some very valuable matter on this situation while the world is so intensely interested in the present developments.
Professor Magan, who is well known to the readers of the REVIEW as a writer on the Eastern Question, and who has given long and earnest study to this great subject, will have a most interesting and instructive article in the September Watchman, on the recent developments in Europe. “Europe at the Rubicon” is the title of one of the best articles he has ever written on this subject. We appreciate the fact that this is saying a great deal; and yet after reading this excellent article we feel justified in making this statement and calling your attention to the article. It contains much valuable data recently secured from European sources, which will be greatly prized by all interested in this great conflict.
“Europe’s Conflagration” is the title of an article by our editor, calling attention to the nature and meaning of such a war as this, contrasting it with the peace talk of which so much has been said of late in this and other countries. The September Watchman will also have a striking cover design showing a relief map of Europe, including The Hague and the different European capitals, above which is the hovering war cloud of death.
Already inquiries are coming in for something on the Eastern Question; and realizing what a splendid opportunity this offers us as a people to present to the world something special on the present situation, we have endeavored to furnish the latest and best material for the September Watchman that can be obtained. Order at once from your tract society.

Nurses’ Training School
The Glendale Sanitarium and Hospital Training School for Missionary Nurses will open another nurses’ class August 17, a three-year course being offered. No pains have been spared to bring our school up to the highest professional standard possible. However, those who desire only the professional advantages of the training we can give them, need not apply.
We wish to make a most careful selection for the incoming class, and to accept only those who already have a deep Christian experience, have definitely consecrated themselves to the work of spreading the great message for this time, and desire a training that will fit them for service anywhere. We want earnest, sober-minded young people, who will put their whole hearts into the work of saving the souls of those with whom they come in contact while in training, and will earnestly strive to obtain the preparation necessary to make them the most efficient workers in the field after graduation. The sanitarium is one of the greatest missionary fields, and we wish our workers to rightly represent Christ not only while in the institution, but to have such a consecrated spirit and missionary ambition that we can send them out to assist in the field work our nurses are constantly being called upon to do.
For you to be able to receive the missionary training we wish to give you, you must be missionaries when you come. Are you ready for active service? If so, write at once for our calendar. Students will be accepted up to September 15. Address Superintendent of Training School, Glendale Sanitarium, Glendale, Cal.

God’s Two Books
By W. A. Spicer
Does the inanimate earth verify the statements of Scripture? Was the earth thousands of years evolving, or was it created in six literal days? What are the discoveries of real science? and what do they prove?
Many people try to prove from science that the Lord did not make the world in six days, hence did not rest the seventh day nor make it a Sabbath in commemoration of creation.
Does the book of nature contradict the book of revelation, or do they agree? Read “God’s Two Books,” by Geo. McCready Price, for the answer. Price, $1.00.
Gospel Order
By W. A. Spicer. This pamphlet gives a brief outline of the Bible principles of organization. “The Lord is a God of order; all his works reveal the perfection and simplicity of divine organization.” In this pamphlet there are not so many rules given, but the principles laid down in the Scriptures and the Bible illustrations of these principles are presented. Any one who will read this pamphlet carefully will be well fortified against the principles of disorganization with which we are frequently attacked. Price, only 10 cents.
American State Papers
This book gives the most complete history of Sunday legislation in the United States. The very laws themselves, beginning with colonial times, are given, and the history showing the results of the operation of these laws when enforced upon the minority who conscientiously believed otherwise. It narrates the development of this religious legislation up to the year 1913. The book contains 800 pages. The price is only $1.25 post-paid. Library binding, $2.00.
Great Second Advent Movement
Every person should be familiar with the history of his own denomination, and especially should Seventh-day Adventists be familiar with the various steps that were taken in the providence of God in the development and organization of this denomination. This history is briefly given in the most interesting manner in the book “The Great Second Advent Movement,” written by Elder J. N. Loughborough, the oldest minister now left within our ranks. As a young man, Elder Loughborough kept a diary in which he recorded the principal events which transpired. From this and other sources of information he was able to write this splendid book. Every young person should study it carefully. Price, cloth binding, $1.25.
Religious Liberty in America
By C. M. SNOW
By C. M. SNOW
This book deals with the growth of the principles of religious and civil liberty from the beginning of the Christian era down to our own time. It shows how the two principles—religious liberty and religious oppression—have run side by side through the history of nations, the one building up the true kingdom of Christ and the other making martyrs of Christ’s true followers. The planting of those two principles on the shores of the New World, and the struggle between them for dominance here, is pictured in interesting detail. Considerable space is devoted to the growth and work of such un-American and oppressive organizations as the National Reform Association, the Lord’s Day Alliance, and the Federal Council of the Churches; how these forces propose to unite and are now uniting for the enforcement of oppressive legislation, and have opened the way for union with the Catholic Church for the same purpose. The author shows how this combination of forces is working directly to fulfill the desires and purposes of Rome concerning America. The revelation of what those purposes are and what Rome is doing to bring them about makes one of the most thrilling sections of the book. The closing chapter, “Heaven’s Answer to Earth’s Great Problem,” shows how God will work out the problem of this world through the second coming of Christ, and the establishment of his reign in this sin-smitten world. 435 pages, fully illustrated.

War and Church Suffering in Haiti
Further news comes to the Mission Board from Elder A. F. Prieger, superintendent of our work in Haiti. He speaks of the recent battle in Cape Haitien between revolutionists and government forces. Brother and Sister Prieger and the Europeans in the city were kept safely, though among the contestants there were many fatalities, and in the morning the dead were lying about the streets. He adds: “A brother has come from Grande Riviere, a town in the interior, where we have a church. The entire city has been pillaged. Not a house was spared, and many homes were burned. The Baptist, Catholic, and Seventh-day Adventist church buildings were pillaged, and every piece of furniture demolished and burned, including benches. The buildings were used as stables for the horses. Our church organ was used for the entertainment of the soldiers. We are wondering what to do for our brethren, as they are all very poor now, none having so much as a bed or a mattress to lie on, and all have passed through a terrible siege. Eleven of the officers who put their horses in our church were shot by the opposing party. Twelve leading citizens were shot, and numbers of others. None of our people were killed. One of our colporteurs was shot in the foot. When the soldier saw him wounded, he wanted to kill him, but another man stepped between them and thus saved our brother’s life. We thank the Lord for his protecting care. We have not heard from other places yet.”
Important Notices on Pages 20 and 21
PARTICULAR attention is directed to the important notices on pages 20 and 21, following the continuation of the last-page article.
Workers Sent to India via Pacific
OWING to interruption of sailings via the Atlantic, arrangements have been made to send workers to India by way of the Pacific, reservations having been secured for a party leaving Seattle in September by an American line. Passengers to India will transship at Hongkong, China.
Pauline Schilberg’s Journey Home
About the last of June, Miss Pauline Schilberg, of our China Mission, left Shanghai for a furlough in America, and is sailing by way of Europe. The General Conference has just received information from the State Department in Washington to the effect that Miss Schilberg is in Egypt, owing to the suspension of traffic to England. Through the State Department the General Conference treasury has remitted money to Miss Schilberg to enable her to secure passage to America by whatever line may be available from Mediterranean ports.
