The United States of America was the destination of 24,905 of these emigrants. The Irish have wonderfully prospered in the United States, and as a whole have been of great service to their new home. — At Worcester, Mass., the inhabitants have been carrying on an anti-fly crusade, which began June 22. Over ten barrels of flies have been caught by 232 contestants. The winner turned in 95 quarts, or a total of 1,219,000 flies, captured in traps of his own construction. For this he received a prize of $100. — A colossal statue of Black Hawk, Indian chief, was recently dedicated at Oregon, Ill. The statue, which is the work of Lorado Taft, is forty-seven feet high, and stands on a bluff overlooking Rock River. It symbolizes the vanishing of the red man from the country where once his freedom was unvexed by white intruders. The great figure of the chief shows him taking farewell of the valley of his council grounds. — Sherman Thorp, a well-known artist, who has painted the portraits of many famous men, claims that by an embankment system the growth of trees can be forced, so that at the end of seventeen years a tree may appear to be fifty years old. He says the embankments keep the surface water from running off into streams, thereby nourishing the trunks and limbs, with the result stated. — The population of Great Britain and Ireland is now well over 45,000,000, a gain for the United Kingdom of nearly eleven per cent since the census of 1901. Ireland, however, is still losing population, the loss in the last decade being 77,000. London has 7,250,000 people. As in the United States, increase of population is largely in and near the cities; the rural population is decreasing in some places, and in all others the rate of increase is much less than in the towns and cities. — There are nine men by the name of Smith in the United States Congress. Four occupy seats in the Senate, and five are members of the House. — Vacuum cleaners were recently used with great success in a New York office building which had been visited by fire, in the removal of the water which had accumulated as the result of the presence of the firemen. The janitor was instructed to make every effort to have the offices in readiness for the occupants next morning, so that their business would not suffer any interruption; and in order to get rid of the water in the carpets and on the floors a number of vacuum cleaners were secured and put to work, with the result that things were in perfect order for business the following morning. — There are towns in Old England which take their vacation every summer. Oldham, the center of cotton industry, for instance, shuts up shop for a week or two, and goes to the seashore or to the mountains in Scotland or Wales. Everybody is expected to leave town; nobody stays home but the policemen. Every year the mayor collects from each pater familias a contribution to the summer fund—it amounts to a million dollars!—and every one gives according to his means. The town treasury bears the whole expense of the town's outing. Last year 700 people from Burnley went as far as Paris, and paid their respects to President Fallières.

W. C. Foreman, Secretary. The Self-Supporting Missionary Convention
By Edward Alexander Sutherland
THE regular annual self-supporting missionary convention will be held at the Nashville Agricultural and Normal Institute, Madison, Tenn., from August 25 to August 29. In the past this meeting has been attended by a large number of persons who are doing self-supporting missionary work. The purpose in coming together is to study the principles upon which self-supporting missionary work that God can prosper should rest. Much time will be given to the study of methods that are to be employed by those who are carrying forward this kind of work on right principles. The benefit derived from the exchange of ideas and experiences will strengthen and encourage all who attend. The value of the inspiration and enthusiasm caught in such a meeting can not be estimated. We have reached a place in the message that compels this kind of work. Many are being moved upon by the Spirit of the Lord to enter active service in the Lord's cause on a self-supporting basis. When Satan sees that he can not prevent individuals from entering this kind of work, he then tries to have them do foolish and unwise things in order that he may bring a reproach upon the genuine self-supporting missionary work. Those who are honestly interested in self-supporting missionary work that will be a blessing to the Lord's cause will be interested in the convention. Drs. David and Mary Paulson, of Hinsdale (Ill.) Sanitarium, with some of their city mission workers, will take an active part in the convention. A number of teachers who are conducting self-supporting schools will be present. There will also be present those who are engaged in medical missionary, canvassing, and other lines of work. A number of our leading brethren who are engaged in the regular conference work are deeply interested in this movement, and will be present to help make the convention a benefit to all in attendance. Those who desire to attend this convention should correspond with the writer. It will be necessary for visitors to bring bedding. MUFF.—Mrs. Elizabeth Muff, who was a native of Berne, Switzerland, died at Petaluma, Cal., June 18, 1911, aged seventy-four years and nine months. She accepted present truth eighteen years ago.

Father, mother, five brothers, and two sisters are left to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral from 1 Thess. 4:13. F. H. ROBBINS. SNOW.—Jennie Snow was born in Leon, Monroe Co., Wis., Aug. 11, 1867, and died in Madison, Wis., July 4, 1911, aged 43 years, 10 months, and 23 days.

RASMUSSEN.—Died at Oakville, Wash., June 29, 1911, Eva Marie Rasmussen, aged six years. Little Eva was a great sufferer most of her life. She was a lovely child, and often spoke of the coming of the Lord, in which she was a firm believer. She was born in Brainerd, Minn., where her mother, Sister Rasmussen, was better known as Florence Borden. Words of comfort and cheer were spoken by the writer to the bereaved parents and many friends, from 1 Thess. 4:13-18. *

Her husband, children, parents, two sisters, and one brother remain to mourn.

He became greatly interested in the study of the Bible when we pitched our tent in Concord two years ago, and the fruits began to appear in his life in the overcoming of evil, although he did not begin the observance of the Sabbath until seven months before his death. His wife and three children accepted the faith and united with the church. His hope was bright, and the blessed hope of the Saviour’s coming, when he might be reunited to his loved ones, was his comfort and stay.

Her father, mother, sister, and three brothers feel their loss keenly. She fell asleep trusting in Jesus. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by Brother M. A. Winchell. Text, Rev. 21:7. W. A. T. MILLER. BURR.—F. L. T. Burr was born of English parentage on the island of Haiti, July 6, 1882, and fell asleep June 22, 1911, at the Colon Hospital, Panama. As a result of his acquaintance with Elder H. C. Goodrich and family, at whose home he became a frequent visitor, he was led to accept Christ as his Saviour about three years ago, and became a faithful and much loved member of the Cristobal (Colon) church, in which he was serving as Sabbath-school superintendent at the time of his death. He died as the result of heart injuries received in a bicycle accident, April 15, last, when he was forced into collision with an iron telegraph-pole to avoid being run down by a heavy wagon. Not realizing that he was seriously injured, he continued his work in the Panama Railroad office until forced by failing strength to stop for a few days’ rest. As he did not improve, he returned to the office to try to arrange his work so that he could go to the sanitarium at Loma Linda, Cal., for treatment; but completely collapsed, and was taken to the hospital, where he fell asleep. Assisted by Elder B. E. Connerly, the writer conducted a short funeral service in one of the hospital rooms, where, in spite of the rainy weather, many of his friends and brethren were gathered. He was then laid to rest in a beautiful spot in Mount Hope Cemetery, to await the voice of the Life-giver. He leaves an invalid mother in Jamaica, and many friends and brethren in Colon, who will deeply feel the loss of his presence and help in the cause of truth. J. B. STUYVESANT.

By B. F. Kneeland
THE annual camp-meeting of the New Jersey Seventh-day Adventist Conference will be held at Hamilton and Fairmount avenues, Villa Park, Trenton, N. J., Sept. 7-17, 1911. The grounds are easily accessible, as the Hamilton Avenue cars and the New Brunswick trolley run directly to the camp-ground. We are promised the help of Elder A. G. Daniells, Prof. H. R. Salisbury, and other excellent laborers from the General and Columbia Union conferences. We especially urge a full attendance of our people at this meeting. The forces of evil and rebellion against God’s commandments are daily gathering fresh strength, and massing for the final struggle. Now is the time when we must arouse for a decided forward movement. The Testimonies say: “It is important that the members of our churches should attend our camp-meetings.” “Strengthen the meeting all you can by being present with your families. Put forth extra exertion to attend the gathering of God’s people. . . . You can not afford to lose one such privilege.” Tents will rent at the following prices: 10 x 14, $2.75; 12 x 16, $3.25. Orders for tents, furniture, or rooms, must be sent to the conference office at once, 1635 South Broad St., Trenton, N. J., as we shall secure only what are ordered. Charges will be made as low as possible. This is the most important meeting ever held in the State. The destiny of some soul may be decided by your attitude toward it. Will you not pray daily that the Lord will make this meeting a special season of spiritual refreshment, and that many will be converted to God? B. F. KNEELAND,
President. THIS department is conducted especially for the accommodation of the Seventh-day Adventist readers of this paper.

Brief business notices will be published, subject to the discretion of the publishers, and on compliance with the following— Any person unknown to the managers of this paper must send with his advertisement satisfactory written recommendation.

Such recommendation should come from one of our ministers, or from the elder of a Seventh-day Adventist church. It is not enough to refer to some individual by name.

By T. E. Bowen
WRITING to the brethren and sisters in the Central Union Conference, from Friedensau, July 9, Elder E. T. Russell speaks of the Harvest Ingathering as follows:— The time for launching the Harvest Ingathering Campaign will soon be upon us, and all should sense the importance of this movement. The net results to the mission treasury from this source during the past two years, after all incidentals in connection with the campaign had been met, were about thirty thousand dollars each year. It is earnestly hoped that this year fully fifty thousand dollars will be realized. Every individual, every family, and every church should plan definitely to do more than they did last year. The Pacific Press will issue a well-prepared number of the Signs of the Times to be used in the campaign this year. Instruction and data in regard to the campaign will be sent forth from headquarters at Washington, D. C. Let every one be prepared to spring into action when the time comes for the campaign to open. While the friends in the Central Union Conference are getting ready for work with this Missions Number of the Signs, we feel sure the brethren and sisters in all the other unions will begin to plan for the best effort yet put forth for missions. With united effort we can easily reach the fifty-thousand-dollar mark, as a net gain to missions. The fall camp-meetings will furnish a good opportunity to study the needs of the mission fields, as well as exchange experiences gained in our previous campaign efforts. By the time this reaches the reader, the large perfecting press at the Signs office will doubtless be turning out the papers at the rate of several thousand an hour, and then after a few swiftly passing weeks it will be our turn to hustle. Soon the message to earth's waiting millions will have been given, and the general harvest ingathering of souls, as the result of the united efforts of the family in heaven and the family on earth, proclaimed, as Jesus sends forth his angels to reap the harvest of the earth. We shall then count nothing as a hardship that has resulted in the saving of a soul. T. E. BOWEN. Welcoming Dr. Thomason and Elder Evans
By Editor
We are glad to greet Dr. George Thomason and his wife, of South Africa, who spent last Sabbath in Washington, en route for the West. At the recent council meeting in Friedensau, Dr. Thomason was chosen secretary of the Medical Department of the General Conference, and will soon enter upon the duties of his office. Further announcement regarding this change will be made next week. We gladly welcome Elder I. H. Evans, after his year of earnest and arduous labor as general superintendent of the great Oriental mission field. Brother Evans comes from the Friedensau Council for a short time to close up his personal affairs, preparatory to his return to the Orient, in company with Mrs. Evans, sometime this fall. Several camp-meetings in the Central West will be visited by him this summer. W. A. Spicer Returns From Europe

Work for Earnest Young People
By S. N. Curtiss
From time to time we have an opening in some department of the office for a young man or a young woman. Usually these openings are in the manufacturing departments, where opportunity is given to learn a useful trade. But we want the right kind of young people for these positions. We need young people who are active members of some Seventh-day Adventist church, who have a heart interest in the work of the Lord, and are “of good repute” at home; young people who have a good education, are bright, strong, of good health, not afraid of hard work, not grumblers. We should be glad to have a “waiting list” of a dozen or more young men and women of this kind, from whom we may draw when occasion requires. No one under sixteen should apply, and we prefer those who are eighteen or more. On receipt of request, an application blank will be mailed.

By Editor
The truths of this message are making their way even among the untutored aborigines of South America, and finding glad recipients there. Not long ago we reported the fact that one of our workers was on his way into the almost trackless wilderness of the northern part of South America to teach this message more fully to a company of Indians far in the interior, who were already keeping the Sabbath. The report of Elder J. W. Westphal, in this issue of the REVIEW, shows what is being accomplished by one worker alone among the Indians of Bolivia. Truly, “God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.” Acts 10:34, 35.
