I think the Protestant Magazine just right, and it ought to be read by every Protestant in Uncle Sam’s domain. It is undoubtedly doing a great work in warning the people as to what the Roman Catholic Church is trying to accomplish in these United States of America. Woe unto us if it succeeds. REV. B. VANVALKENBERG, Ohio.
E. S. Ebdale, Australia, says, “Being no ordinary composition, it attracts by its simplicity.”
While keenly alive to everything that threatens our liberty, civil and religious, on the part of the Roman Catholic Church (and speaking plainly and directly to the point), the utterances in the Protestant Magazine have been characterized by dignity and an evident desire to speak only the truth, and in perfect fairness. I have been intensely interested in every number of the magazine that has come to my table. REV. ALBERT D. KNAPP, Indiana.

Are the Protestant Ministers in Your City Getting the “Protestant Magazine”?

The “Protestant Magazine” is a true exponent of the third angel’s message. As Rev. W. H. Bates says, “It is so fair, so just, so courteous, so able, so eminently scholarly, and so thoroughly reliable that it carries its own commendation to all who are fair-minded and want to know the truth.”
Liberty of speech is being threatened; liberty of the press has already been curtailed; large business corporations are being warned.
Every Seventh-day Adventist should have the “Protestant Magazine.” Your neighbors should know of the impending conflict.

Heralds of the Morning

REVISED

AFTER a consideration of the wonders of this age of remarkable inventions and financial, moral, and intellectual extremes, it takes up the study of the great event to which present-day conditions are leading,—the second coming of Christ.
The titles of some of the preliminary chapters are as follows: “A Remarkable Century,” data on modern inventions and means of transportation and communication; “Ye Have Heaped Treasures for the Last Days,” a collection of facts regarding the massing of large fortunes, and other financial questions; “The Earth Is Filled With Violence,” a vivid portrayal of labor troubles such as now threaten the prosperity of the civilized world; “The Social Vice,” a description of the alarming development of the companion of the liquor traffic; “Great Deceptions,” safeguards the reader against the occult; “And the Nations Were Angry,” a chapter devoted to the study of the question of war, illustrated by new cuts of many modern implements of warfare. Then follow chapters entitled “When Ye Shall See All These Things,” “And There Shall Be a Time of Trouble,” “He Will Come Again,” “The Earth Was Lightened by His Glory.” This book should find a place in every home. Strangers, neighbors, and friends will read the book with interest. Every chapter is well illustrated. Contains 400 pages. Cloth, $2.00; half leather, $3.00; full black leather, $3.50.

Religious Liberty in America

A HISTORY of religious liberty from the days of religious intolerance preceding the discovery of America, to the present time. It relates the acts of persecution which encouraged emigration to the New World; and traces the spirit of intolerance transplanted in the colonies, the gradual development of the idea of religious liberty and separation of church and state, and finally the retrogression and the drifting toward Rome so apparent at the present time.
As an example of the hundreds of incidents related, we give the following outline of an account taken from the chapter “Conflicts and Triumphs in New York:” —
In 1707 Francis Mackemie, a minister, was imprisoned for preaching Presbyterianism in New York City. After stormy debates and a spectacular hearing, he was acquitted by a jury instructed to convict him. His release after weeks of illegal imprisonment was due to his impassioned address to the jury, and the efforts of three noted lawyers. This case caused much comment in England and America, and brought to an end such persecution in the New York colony. The author is not content with merely relating principles, but has made a large collection of such incidents as illustrate the principles advocated, and furnishes a fund of invaluable information on the subject. Every purchaser of this book is sure to be pleased with its contents. 448 pages. Cloth, $1.00.

EVERY MOTHER CAN BE A HYGIENIC COOK AND A NURSE

WHAT TO COOK AND HOW TO COOK concerns not only the mother, but the health of the whole family. The Home Cooking School, in Health and Temperance, will solve this question. It is conducted by a sanitarium chef, and menus and directions for hygienic cooking are given each month in this department.
THE CHILDREN AND THEIR CARE is the subject nearest the mother's heart. How quickly the joyous, youthful smile is checked by disease!
The Mother's department in Health and Temperance furnishes excellent instruction in the care of children, and will save the mother many hours and days of anxious thought and worry on account of sickness and its results.

Mission News and Musical Publications

AUSTRALIA announces that Brother A. W. Knight reached Sydney July 7, and that after spending a short time at Warburton in arranging for his future work, he would proceed to India, to enter upon his duties as union field agent.
WE made note last week of a beautiful brochure of forty pages, entitled “The Refuge Psalm: A Song for the Time of War and Trouble,” written by Elder J. S. Washburn, of 5318 Chancellor St., Philadelphia, Pa. Brother Washburn calls our attention to a mistake in the price as quoted last week. He is making a special introductory price of 25 cents a copy; best binding, 50 cents. He also has some excellent sheet music, “The Tender Shepherd” and “The Shepherd Song,” which he will send out for 10 cents. We believe all lovers of music would appreciate these excellent songs, and particularly the little booklet for 25 cents.
THE Mission Board recently voted that favorable consideration should be given to the proposition of providing a mission home for the workers in Caracas, Venezuela. On receipt of this word, Brother N. H. Pool, president of the South Caribbean Conference (Venezuela now being a mission field under the direction of that conference), writes: “Your letter relative to the work in Venezuela has been the most cheering message that I have received since being in the West Indies. You may rest assured that we will not neglect to put things in motion in that mission field, that a healthful home may be provided for the workers there.” It is the faithfulness of the brethren and sisters at home in providing the funds that makes it possible to cheer our co-workers out in the unhealthful tropical regions in this manner. The time of rewards is just ahead, and in bestowing them the Master will make no mistakes. Let us be faithful in the stewardship of the means placed in our hands.
LAST week Wednesday, Brother Eugene Leland, accompanied by his wife, left New York for Bermuda. The illness of Sister Leland’s mother last year made it impossible for her to be with her husband in evangelistic work in Bermuda last winter.
PROF. FREDERICK GRIGGS, writing from the educational and Missionary Volunteer convention recently held in Graysville, Tenn., says: “We are having an excellent meeting here. It seems in some ways to be the best one we have held. These conventions grow better. Quite a good many of the rural school workers are here with us, and there is a spirit of unity that is proving encouraging.”
WE sometimes fail to appreciate the difficulties and inconveniences under which some of our brethren and sisters labor who are away out on the firing line, going from house to house carrying this gospel message to the homes of the people. Brother J. L. Humbert, who is engaged in the circulation of our literature in western Colorado, says in a recent letter: “My courage in the Lord is still good. The work is hard, of course, and much of the food that one finds it necessary to eat is unsuitable, but His grace is sufficient for it all. You know before we are graduated from this school we must each be able to say with Paul, ‘I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.’ Jesus could say, ‘I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.’ It is good for us to say in all sincerity, ‘I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand.’ Let us remember our brethren and sisters who are engaged in the circulation of our literature. They need our daily prayers that God may open to them the hearts and homes of the people.

A Commendable Decision

FOR long years Seventh-day Adventists have refused to receive into church membership those who use tobacco in any form. Some of their brethren in other churches have felt that they were altogether too strict in taking this stand. But little by little, we are glad to see that other denominations are coming to follow the lead set by this denomination with reference to this question.
Several years ago, we believe, the Methodist Episcopal Church decided not to ordain men to the ministry who were users of tobacco. This was the position taken by the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and now we are glad to see that the Wesleyan Methodist General Conference has taken a step farther, and adopted the same stand taken by Seventh-day Adventists.
At the last General Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church the committee on revision of the church constitution, recommended that the provision against the use of tobacco be applied not only to those seeking admission to the ministry of the church, but to those seeking membership in the church as well. The constitution was revised to read: “We will not receive as members into our churches, nor will we ordain or license to preach or exhort, persons who use, cultivate, manufacture, or sell tobacco.”
This was passed by the necessary two-thirds vote of the General Conference of that denomination. It now becomes necessary for the question to be voted on by conferences and churches, requiring a two-thirds vote of the members of those organizations. We certainly hope that this action on the part of the General Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist Church will be heartily indorsed by their churches everywhere. It is a commendable action, and deserves unqualified support.

An Ingathering “Review” in a Far Land

HERE is a story of what one Harvest Ingathering number did in the Transvaal. Several of the young people in one family had accepted the truth. But the mother was opposed to it, even strongly opposed. However, one day a copy of the Ingathering REVIEW came to her attention. As she read of our mission work spreading throughout the world, the conviction came to her heart that the work was God’s work, and this people his people. She gave her heart to the Lord in surrender to the message; and ever since though in ripe old age, she has been one of the most active workers for the sale and circulation of the publications.
These Harvest Ingathering issues are good documents to place among the people. W. A. S.
South Africa.

Preaching the Word

There is a growing feeling on the part of many thoughtful men and women in the various churches that there is a marked departure from the old-time preaching of the word on the part of many professed ministers of Christ. This was well expressed by Mr. R. A. Long, a business man of Kansas City, in an address which he gave to a missionary convention in Los Angeles. He said:—
“Before I close may I say to my preaching brethren, Would to God that our preachers would select for their texts less of those things outside of God’s Word, and more from within these two lids,” pointing to the Bible.
Commenting upon this the Lutheran of August 12 well says:—
“There is a sentence worth framing and hanging up in every pastor’s study. There is not the slightest doubt that many laymen leave the house of God on Sundays feeling that they have not been fed. They hear so much and read so much from day to day which has a transient, ephemeral value, that when the sermon soars no higher, they feel that they have been cheated. If there is one reason why many believe that the pulpit has lost power, here is the explanation of it beyond the shadow of a doubt. Thoughtful men who are immersed in the affairs of the world of necessity, and more than they care to be, want to be lifted into that higher, rarer atmosphere where the sunlight of heavenly truth plays upon their careworn, strenuous lives. They know what newspaper and other editors think and say six days of the week, and on the Lord’s Day they want to hear what God says.”
