Northern Illinois Conference Annual Meeting

By N. W. Kauble

Notice!

THE second annual meeting of the Northern Illinois Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in connection with the campmeeting at Streator, Ill., September 1-11. The first regular meeting of this conference will be held at 2:30 P. M., September 2.

Quebec Camp-Meeting

By H. E. Rickard

THE camp-meeting for the province of Quebec will be held at Knowlton, Quebec, Sept. 1-11, 1904. This place is pleasantly situated at the head of Brome Lake, on a branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Canadian Union Conference will meet with us this year, which will add much to the interest of the meeting. We expect, besides the local and union conference laborers, that Elders A. G. Daniells and W. C. White and other able ministers will be present to give counsel and instruction at this meeting. The annual session of the Seventh-day Adventist Conference of Quebec will be held in connection with the camp-meeting, Friday, Sept. 2, at 9 A. M., this being the date of the first meeting.

We hope that all the churches will take notice of this, and elect their delegates so that each church may be fully represented at this meeting, as there will be important business to consider, and careful attention should be given to every branch of the work.

Grounds have been secured not far from the station, and we hope that as many as possible will bring tents and bedding to make themselves comfortable. Board can be obtained at the dining tent, and feed and stable room for horses near by. Those desiring rooms should write early to W. H. White, M. D., Knowlton, Quebec, or to the writer, at Sutton Junction, Quebec, stating whether they wish furnished or unfurnished rooms, also giving other particulars.

Let all plan to come, though it may seem to be a sacrifice; for the Master will soon say to the angel reapers: “Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” Then let all come with their hearts warm, glowing, and burning with that heavenly flame kindled by the Holy Spirit, and all will get a blessing by being a blessing to others.

H. E. RICKARD, President.

Obituaries

NASH.—Died at his home in Indiana, July 14, 1904, of paralysis, William Nash, aged 85 years, 7 months, and 25 days. He accepted present truth twenty-eight years ago, and has ever since been a devoted follower and liberal supporter of the cause. He fell asleep with a bright hope. Words of comfort were spoken from Rev. 14:13. W. A. YOUNG.

GEROW.—Died July 5, 1904, of heart failure, Annie Gerow, wife of Edgar Gerow, both members of the Armona Seventh-day Adventist church, of Kings County, Cal. Sister Gerow was born in Napa County, Cal., Feb. 5, 1858, and was married in October 1875. She united with the Seventh-day Adventists twenty-four years ago, and was a consistent Christian until her death. We fully believe that Sister Gerow rests in Jesus, awaiting his return. She leaves a husband and nine children, who severely feel their loss. Funeral services were conducted at her home by Elder J. W. Bagby. *

DODSON.—Died at Mason, July 24, 1904, Mrs. Alice Dodson, aged 28 years. Mrs. Dodson was a firm believer in the advent message. She enjoyed a rich Christian experience, and the end came to her with a bright hope in the first resurrection. A husband and two children, a father and a mother, and brothers and sisters were left to mourn their loss. The funeral services were conducted at Mason by the writer, assisted by the Baptist pastor of that place. Remarks were based upon John 10:10. E. K. SLADE.

GRUBB.—Died in the sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich., July 14, 1904, of tuberculosis and peritonitis, J. Ray Grubb, aged 24 years, 9 months, and 25 days. He had an affectionate disposition, and was loved by all who knew him. He was converted at the age of ten years, and one year later was baptized by Elder E. J. Van Horn, and united with the Broughton church, of which he remained a faithful member until death. He leaves a mother, five sisters, and many relatives and friends to mourn his early death, but we mourn not as those who have no hope. He was taken to Broughton, the home of his childhood, and there laid to rest to await the soon coming of Christ. Rev. Applegate (Methodist) spoke words of comfort, from John 14:2. MRS. M. E. GRUBB.

SLUTT.—Died in Oakland, Cal., of a complication of diseases, Mrs. Esther Slutt, aged 65 years, 2 months, and 28 days. The deceased, whose maiden name was Chapman, was born in Dublin, Ireland. She came to America while young, married, and reared a family of seven children. The last forty years of her life were spent in California. From a child, she was religious, and when the present truth came to her, she embraced it, and was faithful to the end. Although in ill health much of the time for years, and suffering much, her care was all for others. She was an old-fashioned mother and neighbor, and there were sad hearts among relatives and friends at her funeral. But she sleeps in Jesus. May her children gladly meet her at the dawning of the better day. M. C. W.

MARVEL.—Died in Winchester (Fords Store), Md., on her birthday, June 22, 1904, of heart trouble, Mrs. Sarah Marvel, aged 58 years. She was a member of the Methodist Church from childhood, and received present truth with joy, and was among the first who joined the Seventh-day Adventists at Fords Store. It was the joy of her life to serve her family, and she was faithful to the end. The last two months of her life seemed especially devoted to her Lord. Go to her home when you would, you would find her with her open Bible, amid all her cares and duties. She was always ready to visit the sick and lend a helping hand. She leaves two sons, one sister, and many friends to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by one of the elders of the Fords Store church, Brother Isaac Baker. H. S. W.

LAGRAVE.—Died at College Place, Wash., June 13, 1904, of heart-disease, Denis LaGrave, aged 61 years and 15 days. Brother LaGrave was born at Mycenae, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. He moved to Washington Territory in 1872, and settled near Dayton, where in the same year, he married Miss Mary Palmer, and where he continued to live until the establishment of Walla Walla College at College Place. In the summer of 1875, Elder I. D. Van-Horn held a tent-meeting at Dayton, during which Brother LaGrave, his wife, her father, mother, and sister embraced the truths of the third angel's message, in which they all rejoiced as long as they lived, Sister Mary LaGrave being the only one now remaining. She and her three children are left to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and loving father; but they do not mourn as those who have no hope. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, who had been intimately acquainted with the family for nearly twenty-nine years, and who happened to be passing through College Place just at the time.

The Kansas Sanitarium

By C. McReynolds

To our people in the Kansas Conference we wish to say: we are living in a day when “intensity is taking hold of every human element,” and great activity is being manifested by God's people who are awake to the interests of his work. Much labor and much means are being called for, and these are being invested, not in mammoth plants, but in many smaller publishing houses, schools, sanitariums, and missionary stations, according to the direction of the Spirit of God. One positive statement is given in these words: “Sanitariums should be established near many of our larger cities.” In harmony with this, and relying upon him who sent us the word, we have undertaken the establishment of the Kansas sanitarium near the city of Wichita. The city has shown more than a commercial interest in the enterprise. Its citizens have undertaken to raise a fund of ten thousand dollars as a gift to the establishment of the institution, and the Kansas Conference has undertaken to raise a fund of the same amount. The conference has raised nearly half, and the city has raised fully as much as we have, or a little more. They purchased the site, a beautiful tract of twenty acres, at a cost of three thousand dollars, and gave an unconditional deed to the conference. Men not of our faith are pushing the work of raising the remainder, all of which they promise to give us by February next. In the next issue of the Kansas Worker will be published the amount previously paid on this ten thousand dollar fund, and all that has been paid since this list was published. While it is our privilege and duty to respond to calls to assist in general work, such as the work in Washington, etc., yet God would not have us overlook the interests of his work in our home conference. Send in contributions of any amount. Make all remittances to the Kansas Conference, 821 W. 5th St., Topeka, Kan.

C. McREYNOLDS, Conference President.

Southern Illinois Conference

THE second annual conference of the Southern Illinois Conference will convene in connection with the camp-meeting at Decatur, August 17-28. We are expecting a large gathering of our people at this meeting. All members in good standing in the churches in the Southern Illinois Conference will be delegates, and will have part in the deliberations of the conference.

This is the year for our people to attend the camp-meeting by families. Also bring your friends with you. You need not be afraid that your business will suffer at home if you leave it all in the care of the Lord.

Among the good help which will be present, will be Elder S. N. Haskell, one of the Lord's tried servants. This may be the last time we shall be privileged to hear words of comfort and instruction from him; so let all begin now to make preparations to attend.

The Great Day of the Lord

We have just received a pamphlet printed in the Japanese language with the title, “The Great Day of the Lord.” This pamphlet contains over one hundred and seventy-five pages and is illustrated with ten full-page cuts. It has been prepared by Brother S. Chujo, of San Francisco. The secretary of the California Conference, Brother J. S. Osborne, writes of it as follows: “The pamphlet contains articles upon the leading points of present truth, and is said by those who know, to be well written, good literature of the Japanese language. We believe that this pamphlet should have a wide circulation among the Japanese of this country. Here is an opportunity for foreign missionary work at our own doors. Why should not our people improve it?” The price of the pamphlet is ten cents a copy, and it may be ordered of the Pacific Press Publishing Co., or of S. Chujo, 1629 Sutter St., San Francisco, Cal.

Life and Health List Growing

By Editor

A LARGE number of regular subscriptions for Life and Health came in during July. Besides these, many orders for one hundred copies have been received. In one mail twenty-two hundred copies of the August magazine were sent to twenty-two different persons.

Most encouraging words have been received from those who have seen the new journal, as, for example, the following from a physician:—

July 24, 1904.

I am much pleased with Life and Health. The title is very apropos. The editorials were fine and right to the point. I think the journal has entered upon a very happy change, and into a very useful field—one that has not been very fully met heretofore. I will have some manuscript for you soon.

Another from Arkansas writes:—

Enclosed find three dollars to apply on Life and Health proposition. I would like to double this, but I can not send the cash just now. Nothing I can buy will be better as “wedgewood” in my work than Life and Health. Our hearts greatly rejoice in the work at Washington.

We want another hundred persons who will use one hundred or more copies of Life and Health each month. The price to such is three dollars a hundred.

You can have Life and Health sent to five of your friends and a copy to yourself—all for a full year—if you will send us $2.50.

Address Life and Health, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.

Virginia Camp-Meeting

Elder H. W. Cottrell stopped two days in Washington last week on his way to the Virginia camp-meeting. Elder A. G. Daniells and Sister Fannie M. Dickerson, the editor of the Youth's Instructor, accompanied him from this place to assist in the meeting.

Sutherland and Magan Visit Washington

BRETHREN E. A. SUTHERLAND and P. T. Magan arrived in Washington on Wednesday of last week and remained over the Sabbath. This is Brother Sutherland’s first visit to Washington since the denominational headquarters were removed to this place.

Herbert C. Lacey Sails for England

Brother Herbert C. Lacey and family stopped two days in Washington last week on their way from California to England. Brother Lacey has been teaching in Healdsburg College for the past two years, but has now accepted a position as one of the instructors in Duncombe Hall Training College, our training-school in London. The party sailed from New York the latter part of last week.

Plans for Washington Sanitarium Buildings

Brother C. H. Parsons, of Des Moines, Iowa, an architect, visited Washington last week, and conferred with the trustees of the Washington Sanitarium Association concerning the plans for the various buildings to be erected for sanitarium purposes. After his study of the location and his conference with the trustees, Brother Parsons will prepare the required plans.

Dr. Thomason Arrives in South Africa

THE June number of the South African Missionary, published at Cape Town by the South African Union Conference, contained the following paragraph announcing the arrival of Dr. George Thomason:—

A few months ago we were made happy by the receipt of news from the Mission Board that Dr. Thomason had been recommended to the South African field. The doctor then went to Great Britain, where, after studying a few weeks, he successfully passed all the examinations, and received the necessary degrees, which give him the authority to practise anywhere in the empire. Last Tuesday, the 14th inst., the doctor and his wife and child arrived at the Cape by the “Kenilworth Castle.” The Missionary voices the sentiments of all its readers in extending to them a hearty welcome to South Africa. May the blessing of the Lord be with them as they begin to build again the “old waste places,” and repair the breaches in the medical missionary work in South Africa.

Testimonies for the Church

By Editor

FROM the International Tract Society of Hamburg, Germany, there comes a volume with the title, “Testimonies for the Church,” printed in the German language. In the introduction there is a brief presentation of the subject of the gift of the Holy Spirit and the teaching of the Scripture concerning the manifestation of the spirit of prophecy in the remnant church. The body of the book is composed of selections from the later volumes of the Testimonies, beginning with Number 32, the first general topic being “The Nature and Influence of the Testimonies,” from Testimony No. 33. A wide range of subjects is covered in these selections, including Section I of Volume VI, “The Outlook,” and the volume closes with those stirring topics, “The Coming Crisis,” and “Joshua and the Angel,” from Testimony No. 32. We are glad to know that this important instruction has been placed before our German brethren and sisters in their own language, and we are confident that it will prove a blessing to them.

Washington, D. C.

By J. S. WASHBURN

The work on the school buildings is going forward rapidly at the present time. On Sunday, August 7, a grove meeting was held on the sanitarium grounds, and Sister White, Elder W. C. White, Prof. W. T. Bland, Dr. George A. Hare, Elder George B. Thompson, and others gave addresses.

The amount of donations received on the $100,000 fund, as shown by the list this week, exceeds one fourth of the amount needed by $1,166.03. This is most encouraging. We are now reaching forward toward the one-third mark. We have many assurances of help until the work is finished. We quote the following from a friend who is writing from the Pacific Press: “One brother subscribed five dollars per month until the $100,000 is paid. I think this an excellent plan. Others might do the same, and the sum would be paid very much quicker.” Another brother sends a donation of five dollars to the treasurer of the New York Tract Society, and writes, “This now, and five more each quarter until the buildings are done.”

We earnestly request that all read the following statement from the Testimony dated Nashville, Tenn., June 4, 1904: “Let the work in Washington move forward. Let every one act his part in self-denial and self-sacrifice. Our people are not to wait for more appeals, but are to lay right hold, making those things which seem impossibilities possibilities. Let each one ask himself, Has not the Lord entrusted me with means for the advancement of his cause? Has he not bidden his servants in Washington arise and build? Shall I at this time withhold my means which God asks me to invest in raising up memorials for him?”

This most striking appeal is published in leaflet form, and will be sent to any of our friends on application. It contains considerable matter that has not been printed in any other form.

We hope to publish next week quite a number of letters of most unusual interest from those who are intensely interested in the work in Washington.

J. S. WASHBURN.
