OUR COUNTRY'S FUTURE; —OR— THE UNITED STATES IN PROPHECY.

By Uriah Smith

BY URIAH SMITH.

THIS is a full exposition of Scriptures which quite evidently apply to our own Government, showing the position the United States holds on the prophetic page, and the part it has to act in the closing scenes of time. THE SUNDAY MOVEMENT, which is now attracting such general attention, is thoroughly discussed, and abundant testimony is given to prove that it is fast coming to be the ALL-IMPORTANT QUESTION in this country. Facts and statistics are largely presented, showing in the most conclusive manner that this Government is the power pointed out in the 13th chapter of the Apocalypse.

The Temple in Heaven: Mr. Thoughtful's Change of Views

In the article of “The Temple in Heaven,” resumed this week, Mr. Thoughtful gets wrought up to an intense degree of excitement. The reader will watch with interest the enlightening of this man’s mind, and his consequent change of views on the Sabbath question.

Church Order

A correspondent inquires if it is right for a person who has been turned out of a church, still to claim church fellowship with that church; that is, can he properly attend the meetings and bear his ordinary testimony just as if no change had taken place in the relations between them?

The answer to this question must be in the negative, viewed in any light whatever. It is to be presumed that the church is right in disfellowshipping the individual; and if so, that action should be respected; and a person with any sense of propriety would respect it, and the first thing he has to do further in connection with that church is to cancel his offense by suitable confession. And if the church has any sense of propriety it cannot suffer its action to be ignored and trampled under foot.

On the other hand, if the church has made a mistake, and the person has been disfellowshipped without just cause, he has the right of appeal to higher authorities for an investigation; and if he is vindicated, the church should withdraw its charges, cancel its action, and re-instate the individual in its fellowship again.

“THOUGHTS” IN GERMAN.

Our presses are already beginning to run on “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation” in German. Books will be ready for delivery by June.

ADDITIONS TO THE CHURCH IN BATTLE CREEK.

By G. I. B.

As the result of the recent course of lectures and the revival effort, additions to the church still continue. Eight more candidates were buried in the watery grave by Eld. Van Horn last Sabbath, and “still there are more to follow.” G. I. B.

THE SPECIAL COLLEGE COURSE.

By G. I. B.

The special course has continued through another week with increasing interest. The attendance has been excellent, and many have expressed themselves as greatly benefited by the privilege they have enjoyed. We expect a large number of workers will go out from it to engage in spreading abroad the truths of the message. Two days more will bring it to its close. G. I. B.

S. D. ADVENTISTS.

By Editor

The reports of the Tabernacle lectures, given in the Battle Creek Journal, close with a sketch of the history and work of this people, which is just the matter to be put into the hands of those who are not yet acquainted with us. These papers can be furnished for 1 cent each; or, if persons prefer to send in names, the papers will be mailed from here, post-paid, for 2 cents a copy. One dollar will send a copy of this paper to fifty persons. We have provided four thousand copies to be used in this way. Address, Hattie House, R. and H. Office, Battle Creek, Mich.

THE INDIANS.

Joseph Cook asserts that General Crook has so far succeeded in reforming the Apaches, that instead of being as they once were, the fiercest and most irreclaimable of savages, they are now peaceful, and have for two years been industrious to the point of self-support, not only raising sufficient food for themselves, but having a surplus to sell in the markets of the military posts. Gen. Crook maintains that any tribe can be reclaimed as easily as this one. The transformation that has been wrought contains a wonderful lesson. It presents in a vivid light the fearful responsibility which this nation has incurred in its treatment of the Indian tribes.

WHICH WORLD?

A LADY was once urging upon a mother some fashionable mode of education for her daughter, and to enforce her appeal made this plea: “Without this your daughter will never succeed in this world.” The mother quietly and wisely replied, “I am not training my daughter for this world.” What a fitting rebuke to the low standard of the other! How few there are who maintain this purpose and are willing openly to avow it in the face of worldly influences! Let us take as the standard for ourselves and our children, not “worldliness,” but what the Christian Weekly very aptly styles “other-worldliness.”

“DETERMINED” IN DAN. 9.

By D. W. Randall

D. W. RANDALL: The word rendered “determined” in Dan. 9:26, 27, is not the same word that is rendered “determined” in verse 24. In the latter case the word is חתך (hhathak), in the former, חרץ (charatz).

The first of these words is defined by Gesenius, “Properly, to cut off. Trop. to divide, and so to determine to decree.” The second is rendered by the same author, “1. pr. to cut, to cut in. 2. To cut to a point, to make pointed, to sharpen. 3. Trop. to decide, to determine.” The former seems to be the more decisive word, giving the idea of complete separation.

ENCOURAGING

By Editor

SUBSCRIPTIONS to the various periodicals issued at this Office have been coming in at quite a rapid rate of late. During the past three months 1,406 names have been added to the REVIEW list. The gain on our periodicals in other languages during the year has been, for the Harolden, 76 per cent; Tidende, 50 per cent; and Stimme, 22 per cent. They now have each a list of over 2,000. The Youth’s Instructor list has reached the very encouraging figure of 12,586.

THE EARLY CAMP-MEETINGS.

By George I. Butler

We are not able to give positively the order of early camp-meetings. We think, however, there is little question but that they will stand as follows:—

Kansas, Bismark, near Lawrence, — May 20 Pennsylvania, Jamestown, — June Minnesota, Mankato, — " Canada, ———, — " Dakota, Sioux Falls, — " Northern Maine, ———, — June 25

There is little doubt but that these meetings will be held as here appointed. Wisconsin will come one week earlier or one week later than Pennsylvania meeting. We hope to be able to say positively by another week. These will probably be all the camp-meetings this side of the Rocky Mountains held by General Conference laborers in the summer the present season.

GEO. I. BUTLER, Pres. Gen.

THE KANSAS CAMP-MEETING.

By George I. Butler

At the request of the president of the Kansas Conference we appoint this meeting May 20-27, at Bismarck Grove, near Lawrence. Remember the meeting is to continue till Wednesday evening. It is expected that Elds. U. Smith, O. A. Olsen and Conradi, and the writer, will attend, as well as the ministers of the Kansas Conference. The place of the meeting is a very popular resort, and we look for a large outside attendance. We trust our brethren and sisters in Kansas will make a strong effort to be present. GEO. I. BUTLER, Pres. Gen.

The Canvass for “Thoughts”—Shall It Be Resumed?

By Editor

We confess we have a feeling of sadness to realize how little has been done during the few months to circulate that most important “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation.” The matter has been brought up forcibly to our minds in the special College course of the last few weeks; one hour every day has been devoted to the canvassing. We have felt much interested in the fact that some of our young people should labor in this department of the cause to circulate our reading matter everywhere. We have urged upon their attention the great importance of this as forcibly as we know how, and we hope with some effect. As the question has arisen, “For what shall we canvass?” we have been unable to think of any one thing more important than this most valuable book. We can easily see why this book is almost wholly dropped; we shall certainly enter our most solemn protest against its being longer neglected. We know how it came about, and we wish to cast no censure whatever upon any one concerning it. As times were hard last winter, and as a plan had been formed at the last General Conference to make a rousing canvass upon the Signs and “Sunshine,” it was somewhat easier to make money canvassing for “Sunshine” than for “Thoughts”; nearly every canvasser for the latter dropped that work and went for Signs and “Sunshine.” Month after month passed away and still the circulation of “Thoughts” is not resumed. There is scarcely a person in the tract societies who is now canvassing for “Thoughts.”

We believe the time has come to call attention to the fact that our tract and missionary society presidents and secretaries ought to use their influence to induce every one of those who have made a beginning in canvassing for this most valuable book to take it at once.

Spring has come, and money is more plentiful. The people are more hopeful than they were last winter, and our hopes should increase that this important work can be sold. Nearly 10,000 a year have been sold for two or three years. It would be a sad failure to see this canvass drop out. We ought to do much more the present year than ever before. But thus far in 1885 it has almost come to a standstill. We propose to speak of this subject through the REVIEW, in the camp-meeting and anywhere and everywhere, and thus induce our people to circulate this valuable book. Thousands of these books are already here in the office. Let the world have them, brethren. We have no book more important for general circulation among the people than this. It is a good thing for intelligent people everywhere to see our canvassers resume this work, and push it more than ever.
