EDUCATION AND THE PAPACY.

By E. A. Sutherland

The history of education has received but slight attention by Seventh-day Adventists, notwithstanding the fact that it is inseparably connected with every important reform the world has ever witnessed.
Revolutions are made possible by the educational methods followed by a nation. New nations are born as a result of an educational reform. Our own country is an illustration of this. The doctrines of Confucius to-day hold the Chinese in subjection, and Mohammedanism has its hundreds of thousands of believers because the minds of men are held in subjection by certain forms of education.
The Jewish nation was placed before the ancient world as a nation of educators, and they were given such a system of education as would make them a people to whom the heathen would involuntarily turn for guidance. This was God’s plan for the Israelites. This plan was made known to Abraham, the founder of the nation, who in establishing a government for the people of God, laid the foundation in a school.
In the system, as given to the Jews, the home school was the central feature. Every father and every mother was a teacher, and every child a pupil. When fathers and mothers failed to do acceptable work as educators, part of their duty was transferred to the Levites, and for years in Jewish history one entire tribe was set apart for the special work of teaching.
It was because the Levites degenerated as teachers that Israel went into captivity. The rejection of the Messiah is directly traceable to the conservative spirit developed in the rabbinical schools where the spirit of truth had been replaced by formalism, and the traditions of men took the place of the word of God.
“Jesus Christ,” says Paroz, “in founding a new religion, has laid the foundation of a new education in the bosom of humanity. The work of Christ was, from first to last, that of a teacher. His commission to his followers was that they should go to the world as teachers.”
The early Christian Church had a world of paganism to conquer. The strength of paganism was in its system of education. Chief among its educators was Plato, and platonism, merely another name for worldly philosophy and the science of evolution, was the educational principle which the Christian Church had to meet. For a time it met it with the word of God, and was victorious. Pagan philosophers were converted and became students in the Christian schools. Some Christian teachers, wishing to meet the arguments of noted pagan educators, adopted the pagan philosophy, applying it to the word of God. The leader in this move was Origen, a teacher in Alexandria. Pagan philosophy, applied to the Scriptures, gave birth to the allegorical interpretation of the Word, known to-day as higher criticism. Thus the mystery of iniquity arose. It is that power which exalts human reason above the mind of God. This human reason, or philosophy, named in the Bible “the mystery of iniquity,” was a mingling of pagan education with Christian education. It is well known as the papacy. When the papacy had been formed by educators, it sought the aid of the State to enforce its philosophy. Thus was formed the union of Church and State. Men bowed to the papacy when they accepted its system of education. The papacy controlled the world through a system of education. Its system brought darkness, and the period of its supremacy is known as the Dark Ages.
But it is written: “A day of great intellectual darkness has been shown to be favorable to the success of popery. It will yet be demonstrated that a day of great intellectual light is equally favorable for its success.”—Great Controversy, page 572.
The philosophy of this statement is like this: The papacy held the world in intellectual darkness.
The Reformation was an educational reform. We have this stated thus by D’Aubigne, Book X, chapter 9: “The school was early placed beside the Church; and these two great institutions, so powerful to regenerate the nations, were equally reanimated by it. It was by a close alliance with learning that the Reformation entered into the world.”
The papacy, the greatest counterfeit of true Christianity ever produced, was overthrown by a new system of education, which was not a new system, but a return to the system of Christ. No power could overthrow the papacy except that of education and the schools. Once weakened by the educational system of the Reformers, and finding that death stared it in the face, the papacy gave to the world a counter-educational reform. This was the work of the Jesuits. The Jesuit system was a combination of the true and the false—just such a combination as was made when the papacy itself arose. This new compromise has been accepted in modern educational institutions, and thus men and women make an image to the papacy, which they are now worshiping.
Some day laws will be passed enforcing such worship. Christians may receive the mark of the image before a civil enactment just as surely as after such an enactment. It is time, then, that we ask ourselves whether or not, in this day of great light, we are in danger of receiving the mark of the beast and his image by accepting the popular system of education.
“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
“The education that is generally given in the schools of the world is not that which can be accepted as true education. . . . Let us view the case correctly. Children are the heritage of the Lord, and are to be so educated that they may be the younger members of the Lord’s family, prepared by proper instruction to serve the Lord in their childhood life. Shall the members of the church give means to advance the cause of Christ among others, and then let their own children carry on the work and service of Satan? . . . I say again, establish schools for the children wherever there are churches.” E. A. SUTHERLAND.

SOUTH AFRICAN CONFERENCE.

By I. J. Hankins

THIS Conference held its eighth annual session at Kenilworth, the last of March. The work of the past year, though much hindered by the war, has in some respects been very encouraging. Our books and papers have been placed in the hands of thousands from all parts of the British Empire; especially have the papers had a wide circulation among officers and soldiers. We have also sent papers to many of the inaccessible parts of the country, and have made this war period one of seed sowing.
Elder Edmed reported an increasing interest in Uitenhage, and a few believers in the message. Reports from Natal, though outside of our Conference boundary, show two families obeying the truth, and a growing interest in Pietermaritzburg; from that field the Macedonian cry comes urgently to us. Brother Gaskill has been much encouraged in ship work, and in general efforts to place reading-matter in the hands of the people. Our literature is well received, and is having a good influence on the people.
With few exceptions the war spirit has not affected the minds of our people, although the temporal affairs of some have been much affected for the time being, and they are now among the refugees.
Brother Van Eden has been laboring some among the Dutch communities, where he finds people anxious to know the truth. We are glad to report that we have now three ministers who speak the Holland language. Prof. H. Elffers was ordained, and Brother Van Eden and Brother David Groenewald received license. This is a point to which we have long looked forward. There is a large field before these brethren, and we hope to see many precious sheaves gathered from among the Dutch-speaking people of South Africa.
Resolutions were passed, (1) indorsing the Berean Bible study, and recommending its adoption; (2) that all laborers and canvassers regularly settle their office accounts, and that with others a cash system be adopted; (3) that the Zion’s Wachter, published in Hamburg, be substituted for the Dutch paper we have been publishing, at least for the present year; (4) that the South African Sentinel be continued during this year; (5) that the Visitor, our Conference paper, be issued in mimeograph in both Dutch and English; (6) that the Benevolent Home property in Cape Town be disposed of as soon as practicable, and other plans be laid for the benevolent work; (7) that suitable persons be appointed to circulate our native literature, and that all our local societies also engage in the same work; (8) that we adopt the plan of regular weekly offerings for missionary work; (9) that the Sabbath-school offerings be used for the first two quarters in the Basuto mission, third quarter in the Orphanage, fourth, in Kaffir mission; (10) that we offer the Foreign Mission Board a laborer for Natal; and (11) that Brother P. Smailes be invited at once to enter upon Kaffir mission work, to which he had been previously appointed.
Professor Shaw reported an enrollment of 125 in the school; a growth in their industries, which financially helps the work; that they are now printing the Health Journal and the Sentinel; that the students are doing good work in their studies; and that a healthful religious influence prevails.
Brother Freeman arrived from Basutoland near the close of our session, and presented the needs in that field. The paramount chief has granted us a station, with the privilege of cultivating small pieces of land near by,—no farms being given away for mission purposes. A house with two rooms, and a stable have been built. A church and school building is much needed. Natives attend service at the mission Sundays, and some also come on Sabbaths. A teacher is much needed to instruct the children, and to conduct these services. This would give Brother Freeman and Brother Kalaka freedom to visit the chiefs and the villages, to sell books, and to teach the truth. They have had many invitations of this kind. We are becoming known throughout Basutoland, and many believe we have the truth; but they are afraid of their missionaries. A collection was taken for this Mission at one of the meetings, amounting to $125. Brother Freeman was also ordained to the ministry.
Elder Hyatt was elected President; Professor Elffers, Vice President; O. O. Fortner, Secretary and Treasurer of Conference and Tract Society; and the following compose the Conference Committee: Elder Hyatt, Professor Elffers, I. J. Hankins, H. W. Lindsay, W. C. Walston, J. L. Shaw, H. J. Edmed.
A good degree of harmony prevailed in the meetings, and we trust the action of this Conference may be blessed to the salvation of many souls.
I. J. HANKINS, Sec.

CHILE

By T. H. Davis

Since Brother Baber's leaving here for Valparaiso in December, I have had a varied experience with the small company in Iquique.
After the formation of this company of native believers, the enemy came in like a flood to destroy the union that existed among the believers, fulfilling the words of Paul: “Of your own selves shall men arise, . . . to draw away disciples after them.” Acts 20:30. Those led away soon saw their error, and returned to the church again. So all are united, save one who caused the trouble.
Two of our number have recently died, one sister in Huara and the other here in Iquique, Catalina de Melian by name. The one who died here belonged to one of the oldest women protective societies formed in Iquique. After her death I had the pleasure of speaking twice in her home to a houseful, besides a large congregation which had gathered on the outside. Some became enraged and began shooting off firecrackers near the door, showing their contempt for our faith. During the day of her burial, her body was accompanied by a crowd to the cemetery, and after the societies' ceremonies, I asked the privilege of saying a few words, which was granted. The thirty-seventh chapter of Ezekiel was chosen. The Lord gave me freedom before this crowd, which had never heard of such doctrine. This was an appropriate theme, as the “dry bones” are many in the burying grounds; by the lack of rain everything dries up in a few days, even to the bodies of the dead, as they are buried only a few inches underground. During my short talk, some became uneasy, while others listened with profound interest. One made the statement that in all her life she had never heard such things.
From this it is clearly seen how much people in this country learn from the daily mass. Since this occasion our meetings have been very well attended. Some English-speaking people come in once in a while to hear the truth in the Spanish language.
The province of Tarapacá, of which Iquique is the capital, is one of the most important of Chile, on account of its connection with Bolivia and Peru. Its close proximity causes a mixture of Bolivians, Peruvians, and Chileans; also of a large number of Indians from Peru and Bolivia. Although mixing with the Spanish-speaking people, the Indians hold to their native tongues. From here missionaries should be trained, and sent to these connecting fields, that have never heard the Third Angel's Message.
This locality is one of the most uninviting to the eye, of any part of Chile, as it never rains. A heavy fog, falling once or twice a year, soaks through the roofs of the houses. Being the richest saltpeter mining district in the world, all classes of people are for money making. Living expenses are about twice as high as in other parts, where vegetation is abundant. Watermelons worth twenty cents apiece in the south are worth from eighty cents to one dollar. Other fruit is proportionately high. Workingmen's wages are from two to three times as much as farther south.
Of the interesting things here that attract the attention, one is the many holidays which occur every few days. As Tarapacá belonged formerly to Peru, the many Peruvians celebrate their national feast days, also the large number of Bolivians do the same. February 25-27 is one of the most distinguished celebrations of the year. Hundreds of people during these three days turn out in masquerade suits to make fun for the lookers-on. Many dress as priests and nuns. Flour and colored fluids are thrown on the passers-by until everything in the town, including men, women, and children, is painted some color. Water, although worth ten cents a paraffin can, runs freely on some streets. Those living in the upper streets have the advantage, as buckets of water are thrown on the heads of persons passing along the street. No one seems to know the exact origin of this holiday, but it has been practiced for years in Peru. As I had never seen such a game carried on in any other part of Chile, I thought it would be an easy matter to escape by not taking part in it; but on going out the third day, which is the worst, my face was filled with a sweet, perfumed powder, and a bucket of water was thrown on my back.
With all these feasts (fiestas, Spanish) there are some, we thank the Lord, who wish to separate from Babylon to keep the commandments of God with the remnant people. T. H. DAVIS.

GEORGIA

By W. W. Lewis; W. T. Drummond

CEDARTOWN.—Through the courtesy of some business men of Cedartown, we secured, free of charge, a choice lot near the center of the city, on which to conduct a series of tent meetings.
We began our meetings May 18, with only a few in attendance. But since visiting the people in their homes, the interest is increasing both as to numbers and the study of the word of God. We hope for a successful effort, by the help of the Lord.
We remember Rom. 8:28: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
We know that this is a fruitful field, and so we take courage.
W. W. LEWIS, W. T. DRUMMOND.

QUEBEC

By I. N. Williams

MAY 13, Elder H. E. Rickard and the writer organized a church of twenty-three members at Abercorn, Quebec. Nineteen of this number were newly in the faith; thirteen were the fruit of the tent efforts last summer at Sutton and Brome; others will unite with us soon.
On Sunday, May 13, our new church at this place was dedicated. The house is twenty-four by thirty feet, plain but neatly finished, and free from debt. We are thankful to God for his care over the work here; it was carried forward under many difficulties and much opposition. But we praise his name that we have a house of worship, where the Third Angel's Message can be preached, and those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus can meet together to encourage one another to be faithful until the Lord comes. To him be all the praise. I. N. WILLIAMS.

UNION CAMP-MEETING AT BILOXI, MISS.

By R. S. Owen

This meeting was a new experience for this field. It was designed for the brethren living in the southern part of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Sickness, high water, and perhaps the want of interest on the part of some, combined to reduce the number below what we had anticipated, so that the prospect looked very unpromising at the opening. Soon all these States were represented by brethren and sisters who had come to join with us in the work of the Lord. The ministers present were Elders S. B. Horton, Wm. Woodford, and the writer, all of whom took part in giving instruction and in the ministry of the Word. Practical godliness, spiritual gifts, the health reform, and the special features of mission work for the South were topics of daily study with the brethren. The sessions at night were devoted to the public, in presenting the leading topics of the present truth.
The interest, both among our own people and the public, increased continually to the close. On the second Sunday, which was the last day appointed for the camp-meeting, we repaired to the beach of the Gulf of Mexico just a block from the camp, and after a short service, two persons were buried with their Lord in baptism. A discourse on the Sabbath was given at night to a large audience.
The interest is such that we have decided to continue our meetings. Brother Horton and I remain for this purpose. Our brethren and sisters expressed a high appreciation of the blessings and privileges of this meeting, and by vote it was decided to hold another camp-meeting next year somewhere along the coast line, the time and place to be decided by those having charge of the work. We hope to see a good work done at Biloxi before leaving. Two persons have already decided to keep the Sabbath. Our tent is situated in the central part of the town. We are having the attendance of a good class of citizens. A sermon was preached against the Sabbath yesterday, which has increased the interest to hear the truth.

LOUISIANA

By M. G. Huffman

[I HAVE now been in this State since January 18, and am glad to report that the Lord has blessed the efforts which have been put forth, to the salvation of some dear souls. During April I visited, and held meetings with the companies at Floyd, Mansfield, and Marthaville, and I can say that I never labored for souls who seemed more hungry for, or drank in more eagerly, the precious truth of the Third Angel’s Message. A series of meetings at each place would be appreciated and result in much good. Brother S. H. Dillard and his wife are doing what they can to hold up the light of truth in their neighborhood at Floyd, and the Lord is blessing their efforts. At Mansfield I found a little company eager to study the Bible, and I spent several days there giving instructions on the different points of faith held by us, and my own soul was watered as I broke the bread of life. Sister Margaret Chilton is teaching a class of young ladies, and is sparing no efforts to bring before her pupils the truth as it is in Christ. She is doing a good work, and has already had the privilege of seeing some fruits as the result of her effort.
At Marthaville I found a good company, who had settled about four miles out in the country from the village, the majority of whom had never heard a Seventh-day Adventist minister preach. They had accepted the truth through reading-matter placed in their hands by a canvasser. This ought to be a great incentive to every canvasser to push forward with his noble work, ever remembering that soon he shall reap if he faints not. Two were baptized while I was there. Sister C. F. Dart is conducting a successful church school in the neighborhood where the brethren live. The Lord is surely blessing her efforts, and she is enjoying her work.
I pitched my tent at Bastrop, and began a series of meetings the night of May 10, with about one hundred and fifty present. Up to date the attendance has been fair, and the interest quite good. I have taken up my meetings for a few days, for the reason that the Methodist minister sent for two ministers to come and aid him in a protracted meeting; and as some of his members were attending my meetings, and were interested, they, with many others, thought best for me to wait until they get through, so they could hear my subjects. I am of good courage in the Lord.

TEXAS

By Chas. N. Eastman

New Hope Church, Marietta.

Sister Mary Brown came here Jan. 1, 1900, and opened a church school, which closed April 20. The school was a success, praise the Lord. I have been in the cause of present truth for over twenty years, but I never saw a more determined opposition on the part of Satan. He seemed determined from the first that we should not have the school, and he fought every inch of the ground. But, in answer to the united prayers of God’s people, the cause triumphed. To the Lord be the praise. The opposition was not only from the outside, but the evil one influenced some within to embarrass the school.
Having failed to break up this term, he began early to defeat the next, and for a while it seemed as if he would succeed; but again right and truth prevailed, so that plans have been arranged for a five-months’ school next fall and winter, the funds being all pledged to meet the expenses. For this we again say, Praise the Lord.
The conflict has been long and fierce, and the language of our hearts is best told in Psalm 124.
The church here has experienced some of the shaking time. Some have been shaken out, and some others seem almost certain of falling; but we are praying for them, that their faith fail not. We have seen demonstrated here, that it will not do to reject the Testimonies of the Spirit of God, even on the matter of schools. One Testimony rejected lets in Satan, with his many hellish suggestions.
To-day the people of God as well as the world are being tested upon the question of loyalty to God. May God help us to be loyal to him.
CHAS. N. EASTMAN.

SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY.

By Frederick Griggs

The eighteenth year of South Lancaster Academy is now in the past. It has been one fraught with some difficulties and anxiety, but with all, the presence of the Holy Spirit has been continually felt, and at times it has been manifested in a marked manner.
For the last month of the school, Brother George A. King of New York, conducted a canvassers' institute, and a good interest was manifested in this work by the students, of whom a number went into the various Conferences of the district to canvass during the summer. This is encouraging to those interested in the work, because they are anxious that the school shall meet the object for which it was founded; namely, that of preparing workers for the cause of truth; and they hope the time will soon come when all the students will have the single purpose of preparing as harvesters of the ripened grain.
Financially, the school has met all of its running expenses, and has cleared several hundred dollars besides, which may be applied to the building up of the work of the school. The financial situation in general is very much better, particularly from the fact that Sister White's book is so soon to be given to us, the proceeds of which will go to remove the indebtedness of the school. The students and others of South Lancaster, have manifested a deep interest in this work, and have already subscribed for several hundred copies of the book, which are to be paid for in advance, that the school may have money to pay off its debts, and stop the interest.
The industrial features of the school, the farm and broomshop, have been successful from a financial and educational point of view. This is in itself very encouraging, for manual work should play no small part in the education of every student.
We are looking forward to an interesting and profitable time at the summer school, which is to begin July 5. Already quite a number have signified their intention to be with us in the school during this summer session. Our brethren throughout the district should be thoroughly awake to the necessity of establishing church schools, wherever it is at all consistent, and our young people should be encouraged to attend the academy to prepare for work in these schools, as teachers.
We trust that the young people in District 1 are all looking forward to the next year of school, and are making their plans to be with us at that time. Workers are needed, and the school is established to prepare them. The brethren and sisters should assist the young people in such a preparation.
FREDERICK GRIGGS.
