Earlier text: EARLY RECOLLECTIONS IN THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGEWork by Correspondence.
By M. Bessie DeGraw
It may seem strange, but it has been unnecessary to urge the need of a school of correspondence. The demand for one has been thrust upon us, and the mere mention of a correspondence-study department in connection with Emmanuel Missionary College has called forth some very encouraging letters. For instance: One man, on reading the notice, wrote, “I thank God for this opening. I am teaching school, and cannot leave to attend college, but I shall become a student in the Correspondence-Study Department.” Work by correspondence cannot take the place of resident work, but it will do much for a student. It is not intended for those who can attend college, but is offered as an auxiliary to the young people’s societies. For this reason it meets with hearty approval by our Sabbath-school teachers and by those who organize Young People’s societies. It is for parents who wish to study truths for to-day. It is for teachers who need to become more thoroughly equipped; for young people who would prepare for the ministry; and for those already engaged in teaching the gospel. The Third Angel’s Message contains the grandest truths: it demands of workers in the cause a thorough knowledge of the Bible, of history, of health principles, and of the truths of Christian education. Proficiency in these subjects may be obtained by correspondence. The course of correspondence instruction offered by Emmanuel Missionary College includes Bible, history, physiology, rhetoric, literature, shorthand, typewriting, and technical subjects for teachers. The first course in Bible will be in harmony with the great health movement recently started. This is by recommendation of the General Conference; for the principles of healthful living are an entering wedge in the presentation of truth. The history course will enable the student to become familiar with the great lines of prophecy; it will place each nation in its proper setting in the great drama of the world’s history, and make clear those principles which underlie the interpretation of current events. This course alone is worth the effort which it costs to start such a school. The instruction in practical physiology and hygiene will be helpful in every schoolroom and in every home. It is in the every-day life that we need truth, and this subject will meet the needs of mothers, fathers, teachers, and children. To church-school teachers, or teachers who desire to connect with Christian schools, work by correspondence proves especially helpful. The course of reading in psychology and pedagogy, history of education, and school hygiene will inspire a teacher in her every-day duties, as well as shorten the time to be spent as a resident student when the opportunity presents itself to take a special training. I have written plainly because I know there are many who wish to know the actual advantages of work by correspondence. Do not plan to make it take the place of a course in one of our schools; but if you are unable to enter college now, instead of allowing precious time to pass unimproved, enroll as a student of the Correspondence-Study Department. We expect to see many young people stepping into places of responsibility as a result of this movement; we shall look for increased ability to do good, on the part of many who are already bearing burdens. Some do not yet recognize their calling; such will find that by doing the work of a correspondence student, their natural ability will reveal itself, almost before they are aware of the changes which have taken place. When desiring further information, address the Correspondence-Study Department of Emmanuel Missionary College. M. BESSIE DE GRAW. The “Falling Stars” Picture and Booklet.
By F. E. Belden
A SECOND edition—1,000—of the 22 x 28 luxotype picture of the great meteoric shower of 1833 over Niagara Falls, combining two of God's greatest terrestrial and celestial wonders, has just been printed. Enlarging and improving the descriptive booklet has delayed its publication; but increasing the value promised is ample pay for waiting. The engravings are made, and orders will be filled as soon as the work is printed. The booklet, showing the fulfillment of all the Saviour's predictions relative to His second coming, has been doubled in size of page, from 2¾ x 5½ to 5 x 6½ inches, oblong, and contains thirty-two pages instead of sixteen, selling readily at ten cents a copy, as it has over forty illustrations, many of them beautiful half-tones from famous historical paintings. Those who have already ordered the “Falling Stars” picture, expecting ten small leaflets, will receive, instead, six copies of the enlarged booklet—the ten-cent style—free, notwithstanding the cost of making and mailing is increased about threefold. And that all may have the same privilege, other orders sent immediately will be filled at this rate—thirty-nine cents for the picture, and the six enlarged booklets free, all postpaid. One copy of the booklet is all that the author expects to furnish free with the picture at thirty-nine cents, after this special offer; and the price should be sixty-five cents, as originally advertised; for pictures of this size sell at from $1.50 to $3.50 in the art stores. But to make possible a wide and quick circulation in behalf of the great awakening message for these last days, the price was placed at only thirty-nine cents, and the booklets free. Five of the six copies that are now affixed with the picture, can be sold at ten cents each by the one receiving them, and the other copy can be sold with the picture at thirty-nine cents, thus clearing fifty cents above cost; or, keeping the picture and one booklet yourself, you have over ten cents left besides paying for them. We believe that all will be satisfied with this liberal offer, as the leaflets could not have been sold separately, being small and cheap in appearance, whereas the art booklets are not only very much more impressive, but easily sold by anybody at ten cents each; or in heavy covers, with silk cord fastening, twenty-five cents each, half price to agents; also half price to agents on the ten-cent style, for additional copies after ordering the picture with the six free copies. We believe this beautiful picture and booklet will wake up thousands to study the Word of life and accept salvation while mercy lingers, which plea is made by the author in an original poem on the back of each booklet. Order of the author and publisher, F. E. Belden, Battle Creek, Mich. “I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus. Grant.—Died of old age, at Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa, Oct. 24, 1901, Brother James Grant, in the eighty-third year of his life. He leaves a widow, advanced in years, and four sons, to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, in the presence of a sympathetic audience. G. W. Reaser. Munger.—Dr. J. A. Munger died at his home in Freeland, Mich., Sept. 28, 1901, aged 75 years, 11 months, and 22 days. Dr. Munger was the elder of the church, and had been a large share of the time for thirty-five years. He loved the truth, and was always ready to lend a helping hand in its promulgation. We miss him in the church, but we hope to meet him in the glad morning of the resurrection. K. T. Rogers Munger. Marrow.—Mrs. Nancy Marrow died in Lead Hill, Ark., Nov. 28, 1901, aged 84 years and 9 months. For many years she was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church, and afterward of the Christian Church. She accepted present truth in the spring of 1893, and was faithful until her death. She was the only Sabbath-keeper in Lead Hill. Funeral services were conducted by the Baptist minister, who spoke words of comfort from 1 Thess. 4:13. Brice Marrow. Potter.—Died at Wadena, Minn., Nov. 29, 1901, of typhoid fever, Ila, daughter of Brother Frank Potter, aged 7 years, 1 month, and 29 days. Ila was a bright, loving child, whose untimely death has brought keenest sorrow to the hearts of a large circle of relatives and friends. Brother Potter has the sympathy of his brethren, as it is but three weeks since his faithful wife fell a victim to the same disease. Words of comfort were spoken by Brother G. M. Dimmick. * Chapel.—Died of prostatitis and old age, Oct. 16, 1901, L. R. Chapel, of the Rosevelt church, N. Y., in his 86th year. Brother Chapel had long been looking hopefully for our Lord’s second coming, having been in the First Angel’s Message of 1843–44. He early accepted the Sabbath truth under the third message, in which he remained faithful to the close. His wife survives him. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, in a discourse based on 2 Cor. 1:2–4. Burial at Fulton. J. W. Raymond. Buckner.—Died at San Jose, Cal., Nov. 1, 1901, Sister Rosa Reece Buckner, wife of W. G. Buckner. She was born in Huntington, Ind., May 18, 1850; accepted present truth in 1881. She was actively engaged in missionary work among the colored people in Montgomery, Ala., for two or three years. Funeral service was conducted by J. W. Bagby. Shook.—Brother Elijah Shook, late of Jonesboro, Ind., and well known to many throughout the State, was born April 10, 1840, in Darke County, Ohio; died Oct. 28, 1901, aged 61 years, 6 months, 18 days. He gave evidence that he was at peace with God, and counseled his family to meet him in the better world. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Heb. 9:27, 28. T. M. Roberts. Crowther.—Died of fever, in Port of Spain, Trinidad, Elder L. M. Crowther, Aug. 25, 1901. He was born in Illinois, Dec. 28, 1858. Sixteen years ago he accepted the truth in Kansas. He attended Battle Creek College for two years, and worked at canvassing and tent labor in Kansas. Later he labored in Dakota, from which place he was called to Trinidad, South America, in 1900. We have laid him to rest till Jesus comes. He leaves a wife, one son, and one daughter. Mrs. L. M. Crowther. Burgess.—Clifford Butler Burgess, youngest son of E. O. and I. M. Burgess, born at Bridgewater, S. D., April 18, 1896; died at Mountain View, Mo., Nov. 28, 1901, of pneumonia. He was sick but five days. No minister of our faith being near, Rev. McCloskey (Presbyterian) spoke comforting words at the funeral, from 2 Sam. 12:23. Little Clifford will be missed in the Sabbath-school and home, but he sleeps in Jesus, and will soon wake to life and immortality. Mrs. W. S. Cruzan. Barrows.—Died suddenly, Dec. 10, 1901, of pneumonia, our dear brother, Hamlet W. Barrows, of Barton Landing, Vt. From early childhood he had been a believer in the Third Angel’s Message, and was its ardent supporter. He was regarded by all as a man of strict Christian integrity and moral worth. Since 1884 he had been the elder of the Strasburg and Charleston Seventh-day Adventist church. He had the confidence and esteem of all his brethren. Words of comfort were given from 2 Tim. 4:7, 8, by the writer, assisted by the Congregationalist minister of the place. C. H. Drown. Meilicke.—Died, after long suffering, Dec. 3, 1901, at Windom, Minn., Anna Louisa Meilicke, wife of Dr. A. C. Meilicke, at the age of 53 years. The deceased, with her quiet yet always happy disposition, has been to her husband an indispensable help, although suffering from lung trouble for at least fifteen years. The kindness of Brother and Sister Meilicke was instrumental in bringing the writer into the truth, and caused him to give himself to the Lord. Elder Savage, a friend of the family, conducted the services, speaking words of comfort based upon Isa. 60:1; Rev. 22:1–7; 1 Cor. 15:55–57. T. Valentine. Garner.—Died near Bourne, Idaho, October 28, 1901, of diphtheria, our little Ray, aged 7 years, 5 days, after an illness of only four days. He always loved to talk of the new earth. When he knew that he must leave us, he tried to comfort us with the words, “The Lord will take care of me.” November 14, our oldest boy, Louie, aged 9 years, 1 month, 8 days, was taken away with the same disease. Just before he died, he asked mama to read about the place that Jesus had gone to prepare. He wished the Lord would come. We have the blessed assurance that, if faithful, we shall meet our dear boys, never to part again. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Garner. Welker.—Died at the home of Brother and Sister Thoreatt, Columbia, Tenn., July 27, 1901, Sister Charity Welker, at an advanced age. The immediate cause of her death was flux. The writer became acquainted with her several years ago in Minnesota. Although for many years in frail health, her life was an inspiration and encouragement to those toiling in the Master’s vineyard. While she had means, she gave liberally for the support of the cause. The late years of her life were spent in Tennessee, where she peacefully passed away, perfectly willing to rest until the Life-giver comes. Thanks be to God for the blessed hope. Funeral services were conducted by Pastor A. P. McFerrin (Methodist). N. W. Allee. Cornell.—Mrs. Angeline M. A. Cornell, whose maiden name was Lyon, daughter of Henry and Deborah Lyon, was born in the township of Plymouth, Mich., May 26, 1828; died Dec. 5, 1901, aged 73 years, 5 months, 10 days. She suffered a heavy stroke of paralysis in April, 1893, nine years ago in April next. Under this she gradually sank till the day of her death. June 23, 1849, she was united in marriage with Elder M. E. Cornell, who was then beginning to labor publicly for the First-day Adventists. They began the observance of the seventh day as the Sabbath at about the same time, and she was associated with him in labor for forty-four years. He died Nov. 21, 1893. Through her association and labors with her husband, she formed a very extensive acquaintance with this people. U. S. Anderson.—Died at his home in Big Springs, S. D., Dec. 16, 1901, Brother P. A. Anderson, aged 64 years, 4 months, 1 day. He was born in Sweden, Aug. 15, 1837. At the age of twenty-five years he was baptized and joined the Baptist Church. In 1869 he came to America, and settled in South Dakota. About twenty-five years ago he heard and accepted the truths of the Advent message, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which he was a faithful and esteemed member at the time of his death. He was a tender husband and father in the home, and an upright neighbor. A faithful companion, son, and two daughters, and a large circle of friends mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder Nelson, pastor of the Baptist church. Text, Mark 11:22. N. W. Allee. Johnson.—Died Dec. 13, 1901, at 1600 W. Madison Ave., Cleveland, Ohio, Matilda A. Johnson, aged 56 years, 3 months, 13 days. In 1889 she and her husband and two daughters fully accepted the message under the preaching of Elders Saxby and Russell. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. E. J. Van Horn. Buchanan.—Died very suddenly of scarlet fever, Dec. 9, 1901, Lillian Buchanan, only daughter of Dr. J. G. and Lucy Buchanan, of Knoxville, Tenn., aged 13 years. She was a loving, obedient child in her home, and her Christian character made for her many friends. We laid her away to rest, fully expecting to meet her in the swiftly approaching resurrection morn. Geo. W. Wells. Burbridge.—Died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. M. Pellette, Oswego, Kan., Dec. 18, 1901, Andrew Jackson Burbridge, aged 87 years, 8 months, 4 days. He experienced religion about fifty-one years ago, and for the past forty years has belonged to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He died in full faith and hope of the soon coming of the Redeemer. Services were held at the home of Mrs. Pellette, conducted by Brother J. H. Hensley. Mrs. E. Blasey. Neff.—Louisa Neff, wife of Elder A. C. Neff, was born Dec. 11, 1846, and fell asleep in Jesus, Dec. 9, 1901, aged 55 years, 2 days. Sister Neff, with her husband, was among the first to accept present truth nearly twenty-five years ago, when the message first came to Virginia. She remained constant in her faith in Christ, and rests in hope of the resurrection of the just at the last day. She was laid away in the presence of a large concourse of people. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Mark 14:8, first clause. R. D. Hottel. Wood.—Died in Alameda, near Oakland, Cal., Dec. 6, 1901, of jaundice, Miss M. R. Wood, aged 63 years. She devoted her active life to teaching. She acquired a knowledge of other languages, and taught in different countries. She had just spent some time in Cuba, and was in Mexico when disease fastened upon her. Sixteen years ago she and her two surviving sisters accepted the Sabbath, since which time she devoted much of her means to helping the needy. She died with bright hope of having a part in the resurrection of the just. The funeral was attended by the writer. A. C. Bourdeau. Bartley.—Mrs. Sophia Richmond Bartley was born in Richmond County, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1839; died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. P. T. Reed, Nov. 23, 1901, aged 62 years, 1 month, and 13 days. She was married to John S. Bartley, Aug. 9, 1863. To this union were born three children, two of whom are left to mourn their loss. Mrs. Bartley was a member of the United Brethren church of Pleasant Lake. About the year 1880 she united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Wolf Lake. She died in the full assurance of faith, in the hope of a glorious resurrection at the soon coming of Christ. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Rev. 14:13. D. A. Corkham. Harris.—Mrs. Sarah Ann Harris was born in Canada, June 10, 1857; died at her home in Battle Creek, Mich., Nov. 5, 1901. She came to Michigan with her parents when about twelve years of age, soon after which she was converted and baptized. In May, 1875, she was united in marriage to Jasper C. Harris, and with him accepted the Third Angel’s Message in 1875. She was a faithful, consistent, Christian wife, an affectionate, loving mother, and the spirit she cherished in her heart to help others, led her to assist those in need, even beyond what her strength would allow. For a number of years she has been a sufferer from heart trouble, and was taking treatment at the Sanitarium at the time of her death, which occurred very suddenly. She leaves a husband, seven children, father, and other relatives to mourn their loss. But they mourn not as those who have no hope; for of her it can be truly said, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” She was taken to Edenville for burial, where a large congregation of sympathizing friends and relatives assembled. She will be missed in the church, and the home will suffer a great loss. But the same Jesus that came to the tomb of Lazarus and awoke him from sleep will soon call again, and all who sleep in Jesus will come forth. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Num. 23:10, last clause. W. C. Hebner. Parmele.—Viola A. Kirk was born in Williams County, Ohio, Aug. 22, 1867, in which place and in Hillsdale County, Michigan, she spent her girlhood days. At the age of about eighteen years she began public school teaching, in which vocation she continued for several years. Later she went to Battle Creek, Mich., to attend the Seventh-day Adventist college for the purpose of fitting herself for service for her Master, whose cause she espoused at the age of thirteen years, uniting with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She continued in attendance at the Battle Creek College for a period of about three years, when she connected with the Review and Herald Publishing House. Nov. 29, 1891, she was united in marriage to Elder R. W. Parmele. From that day to her death she has been a faithful, loving, and devoted wife, though during much of this time she has been sorely afflicted with disease. About three years ago she lay sick for eight weeks with typhoid fever, from the effects of which she never fully recovered. This sickness left her with valvular disease of the heart, which resulted in her death, at 11 P. M., Dec. 11, 1901. Her entire life after her conversion was one of devotion to her Master, and even after she was stricken with her last sickness, for two days she was bolstered up in bed in order that she might do service for the Lord in teaching some of His little ones. It can truthfully be said of her that “she hath done what she could.” She fell at her post. Though it is with a great struggle that we yield her, we know that she rests in hope. We laid her away in the Topeka cemetery December 13. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. E. T. Russell. *N. B.—Attention has been repeatedly called to the necessity of having papers properly wrapped. Do not roll or wrap too small. Cover papers well, so that they will be clean when received. Some have paid double the postage necessary, and others have expressed literature when it would have been cheaper to send by mail, at four ounces for one cent.* The following persons desire late, clean copies of our publications, postpaid:— E. C. Rogers, Wilmington, N. C. Morris L. Sabin, Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Mich., Signs, Sentinel, Good Health, in large numbers, at once. The post-office address of Elder A. C. Bourdeau will be 107 Abby St., Fresno, Cal. Kansas Institute No. 4.
By W. F. Surber
ARRANGEMENTS have been made to hold a canvassers’ institute in Hutchinson, beginning January 23, and continuing until February 5. The outlook is good for a large attendance. Quite a number have expressed a desire to attend for the purpose of studying the message, that they may be better prepared to engage in labor. May the Lord help us to be faithful in the discharge of every known duty. W. F. SURBER,
State Missionary. Training Class for Nurses
A TRAINING class for Nurses will begin Jan. 15, 1902, at the Kalamazoo Treatment Rooms, Kalamazoo, Mich. For terms, apply to T. H. Midgley, Manager. BRIEF business notices and “wants” will be published in this department, subject to the discretion of the publishers. A charge of one dollar for one insertion of four lines or less, and of twenty-five cents for every line over four, will be made, though in the case of the poor who wish employment, the charge may be remitted. Persons unknown to the managers of the publishing house must furnish good references. WANTED.— A good lady cook at the Hygienic Dining Hall. Adventist preferred. For particulars, call or address Hygienic Dining Hall, 271 W. Main St., Battle Creek, Mich. WANTED.— Strong, healthy, consecrated S. D. A. to learn Turkish and electric bath business. Will pay salary from beginning. State age, height, weight. Address V. J. Davies, Vendome Turkish and Electric Baths, Columbus, Ohio. “THE world is full of books, many of them good, and yet there is room in the wide field of religious literature for another that is inspiring, uplifting, and comforting in its teaching. This little volume, bent on its mission of love, will certainly stimulate believers in the work of the Master. Christ’s mission was to seek and save the lost, and we necessarily think that He would adopt the most possible means for its accomplishment. So we cannot wonder that He always stated the truth in the most commonplace terms possible, and that these terms, though couched in the fewest words or letters, were pregnant with the tremendous truths of His glorious gospel, which He had come to promulgate. His ‘Come,’ ‘Go,’ ‘Do’ or ‘Lo’ always contained more light and help for the weary and sad hearted than was to be found in the enchanting words of the most astute philosophers of the times. But you say that they are such little words. Little words! true, yet they cause men to stop and ponder on the downward way, and seek Jesus for the pardon of sin; and that certainly is no little thing. They have caused thousands to seek after truth, and we are told that ‘the truth shall make you free.’” The price of “The Master’s Greatest Monosyllables” is 50 cts., postpaid. Order of the State Tract Societies. ROME AND THE UNITED STATES.
The history of these great republics and the principal facts pertaining to their future are contained in the three important works entitled, “Two Republics,” “The Peril of the Republic,” and “The Supremacy of Peter.” Of the importance of these works at this time the readers of the REVIEW are informed. Hon. W. T. Tolley, Ex-Senator of Tennessee, says of the “Two Republics:” “If I had $10,000 to donate to the cause of popular intelligence and sound, wholesome reading, I would freely give it in aid of the circulation of this masterly work.” Of “The Supremacy of Peter,” the Midland Presbyterian says: “This valuable addition to the field of Biblical and historical study, merits a wide circulation. It is a volume of great interest to every believer in the apostolic writings, and many questions are answered in a conclusive and forceful manner, which will make them plain to the hitherto skeptical reader. . . . The author has gleaned his information from a field which but few have the opportunity to enter, and the reader is enabled to survey the results and conclusions without deep study.” Many of the leading men of the country have spoken of “The Peril of the Republic” in the highest praise. They do not hesitate to say that this excellent work should be in the homes of all the people, to warn them of the dangers that destroyed the Eastern nations, and to bind them to the principles upon which the safety of our government depends. Having twenty-five sets of the “Two Republics” bound in magazine form, four numbers comprising the complete work, and desiring to close them out, we club them with the regular cloth bindings of “The Supremacy of Peter,” and “The Peril of the Republic,” and as long as they last, we will send the THREE books, postpaid, for $1.75. Each Missionary Society should have this set of books to loan and to keep in circulation in its immediate neighborhood. There are great possibilities in a systematic course of reading, and we offer these books at this remarkably low price to encourage our Societies in establishing a local Reading Circle. Of course they should add to this list other good books, and also our principal periodicals. While the special volumes of the “Two Republics” last, we will fill all cash orders for the three books for $1.75, postpaid. Address the Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich. You will find new material for thought in the book “The Scriptural Foundations of Science.” There are those who vaunt the claims of science against the word of God. Those who have made a study of science are often at a loss to answer these taunts of the worldly wise. And those who have learned science as it is taught, often give undue weight to some things that seem at variance with the good old Book. Not attempting to answer all evils and questions, this book does, however, attempt to show the place of science and the place the Bible occupies in the great plan of true education. You will also find many astronomical and other scientific facts in the book that will be of material aid in your public work, and will assist you in some of your sermons. While the book is full of the true facts of science, it is also replete with the truth of the Word. The price of the book is merely nominal—75 cts., postpaid. You should have a copy. Order of the State Tract Societies. Should have a copy of the “Mother’s and Teacher’s Manual,” written by Prof. C. C. Lewis, and especially designed to assist in the home and church schools. It contains valuable suggestions for mothers and teachers, and the prices are within the reach of all. Paper cover, 35 cts. Cloth cover, 50 cts., postpaid. Order of the State Tract Societies. WHEREVER this book is used, there is a revival of the old-time energy in the work. It contains the special message for this time, which is manifest through its power to stimulate believers, and arrest the attention of the public. It, therefore, has the elements of divine power in it, and cannot fail to accomplish a good work wherever it is placed. We want faithful, energetic canvassers for this book at once. This is an excellent time of the year to work for it. Those who are engaged in its sale report success. One person in the West is averaging nine copies a day. Prices, $1.25 and $1.50, postpaid. Order of the State Tract Societies. The new Sabbath-school Lessons for the first quarter in 1902 are continued upon the “Parables of Jesus,” and are printed in the usual pamphlet form for the senior classes. All who have not secured them, should order them at once. This special series will be valuable to keep for reference. Order of the State Tract Societies. THE PRESENT TRUTH.
By Editor
THE old tract entitled “Present Truth” has been republished in the Words of Truth Series, bearing the date of January, 1902, and containing 32 pages. On account of the recent rulings of the Post Office Department, the publishing house is denied the privilege of pound rates on Words of Truth Series. On this account the publication of this series, as such, has been discontinued, but the tract will be sent out in its present form for the price of common tracts, 16 pages for 1 ct. This number of the Words of Truth Series, containing 32 pages, will be sent, postpaid, for 2 cts. a copy, with the usual discounts to the Tract Societies. The present form of this number of the Words of Truth Series renders it attractive. It contains important and stirring truths which the people at large should have now. Order of the State Tract Societies. A COMPILATION of many important facts selected from thousands of printed pages which have appeared in various forms from Mrs. White's pen within the last thirty years, and a large amount of manuscript never before printed. The purpose of this volume is to present in a clear and condensed form the revealed teachings pertaining to health and health reform. It is neatly bound in cloth, 5 x 7 in., and contains 336 pages. Price, 50 cts., postpaid. Order of your State Tract Society. TEMPERANCE AND GOSPEL SONGS.
An excellent song book of one hundred pages, especially adapted for gospel and temperance meetings. The former price of this book was 30 cts., but it is now reduced to 12 cts., postpaid, in order to close out the edition as soon as possible. A GOOD song book for Sabbath-schools and the social circle. It would be good for use in the church schools, missionary Sunday-schools, and the tent-meetings. The book contains one hundred and sixty pages of choice selections. The regular retail price is 35 cts. It is now reduced to 15 cts. per copy, postpaid. A PLAIN, clear, and concise treatise of over three hundred common diseases and their remedies. The purpose of the book is to teach in a simple manner the nature and the causes of common diseases, and to prescribe for their cure and avoidance. Every home should be supplied with a copy of this valuable work; for it contains much that is of practical value in health and in sickness. The former price of the book was $1.25, but in order to place it in the homes of many, the price is reduced to only 75 cts. It is illustrated with colored plates, and contains over 400 pages. Order of your State Tract Society. The copygraph advertised in detail last week is really a good thing where manifolding is to be done. It will produce one hundred copies in colors, and more if only one color is used. Any one can use it. It is simple, durable, and inexpensive. Postpaid, without ink, $2.00.

Chicago. Battle Creek. The King’s Royal Life Insurance Company
By Editor
We call special attention to the six-page folder, “The King’s Royal Life Insurance Company,” reproduced on page four of this issue. In these days of life insurance, thousands of these little folders should be circulated. They will be sent, postpaid, to any address for 50 cts. a hundred. Address the Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich. He of whom children are suspicious or afraid, may well doubt the genuineness of his Christianity. “Christian Science” Exposed.
By Editor
EDDYISM, or so-called “Christian Science,” is a snare. It is making inroads upon the popular Christianity of to-day. You have doubtless seen some of its fruits in your own vicinity. We are happy to announce that we now have in hand, ready to print, a most interesting series of articles, fresh from the pen of Elder Geo. I. Butler, exposing “Christian Science” in a lucid, Christian style. What makes these articles of more than usual value is the fact that they were all written spontaneously—not upon demand. The first of these essays will appear in next week’s REVIEW (January 14), and will be entitled, “Christian Science—Are Its Doctrines Truth or Error?” being the introduction. The second article will discuss “The Belief of Mrs. Eddy and Her Disciples in the Bible;” the third, “Some of Her Teachings Examined in the Light of the Scriptures;” the fourth, “Mrs. Eddy’s Views of the Judgment and Resurrection Examined;” the fifth, “Mrs. Eddy’s Views of Good and Evil Angels Examined;” the sixth and seventh, “Are There Evil Angels? What Does the Word Say?” the eighth, “Mrs. Eddy’s Views Concerning Prayer.” There are those in your vicinity who should read every one of these articles—those who are in great danger of being carried away by this new wind of doctrine now sweeping over the earth. What will you do to warn them? Send them the REVIEW for six months (75 cts.), or for four months (50 cts.), or even for only three months (40 cts.). What do you say? Missionaries Sail for China
BROTHER and Sister J. N. Anderson and Sister Ida Thompson sailed from San Francisco for China, January 4. The Forward Movement
By Editor
That new department entitled “The Forward Movement,” will hereafter occupy one full page of the REVIEW each week. Literary Mention
By Editor
Good books and other interesting literature will hereafter receive editorial notice, from time to time, in the “Literary Mention” department. Progress Reports from Chile and New Zealand
By Editor
Two interesting Progress reports reach us too late for this issue — one from Chile, the other from New Zealand. They will appear next week. ELDER GEORGE I. BUTLER, president of the Florida Conference, is at Nashville, Tenn., attending the sessions of the Southern Union Conference.
