The New Plan

ARRANGEMENTS have been made for the REVIEW to contain the reports of the coming General Conference, and on account of the extra expense involved in the necessary enlargement of the REVIEW to contain these reports and other important matter in connection with the conference, the two and four months' subscriptions will be discontinued from April 1 to June 30, and the price of the three months' subscription increased to fifty cents, except to present paid subscribers whose subscription may expire before June 30. To these, the regular three months' subscription rate will be continued. The General Conference REVIEW rates will, therefore, be as follows:—

Twelve months, $1.50; eight months, $1; six months, 75 cents; three months (April 1 to June 30), 50 cents.

No individual interested in the work of the denomination can afford to be without the REVIEW at any time, and especially for the next six months.

The Plan Approved

The plan providing for the publishing of the reports of the proceedings of the General Conference in the REVIEW has met with the general approval of the people, and the following voluntary expressions copied from some of the letters from conference presidents reveal how they regard it:—

“I think the plan of having the REVIEW AND HERALD the news bearer from the General Conference to the people is a splendid one. “URBANUS BENDER, “Pres. Arkansas Conf.”

“All things considered, I think the publishing of the proceedings of the General Conference in the REVIEW the better. “URBANUS BENDER, “Pres. S. D. Conf.”

“I like the plan very much. “F. M. BURG, “Pres. Western Oregon Conf.”

“I am very highly pleased with the plan; am sure it will serve our people better than any past arrangement. “WM. COVERT, “Pres. Wisconsin Conf.”

“I can say the plan meets my mind exactly. “C. H. EDWARDS, “Pres. Greater New York Conf.”

“From the very first time I understood the plan, it met with my hearty approval, and we accept it with thanks. “A. G. HAUGHEY, “Pres. West Michigan Conf.”

“I favor the plan of putting the conference proceedings in the REVIEW. “S. G. HUNTINGTON, “Pres. West Virginia Conf.”

“I most heartily approve of the plan, and am glad the REVIEW will contain the reports this year. “R. D. HOTTEL, “Pres. Virginia Conf.”

“I am pleased with the plan. “R. M. KILGORE, “Pres. Georgia Conf.”

“I am much pleased with the plan of reporting the proceedings of the General Conference in the REVIEW exclusively. “C. E. KNIGHT, “Pres. Arizona Conf.”

“The plan meets my approval. “R. C. PORTER, “Pres. Missouri Conf.”

“I am much pleased with the plan. I remember when the reports of the conference were published in the REVIEW, and the people liked it. “J. M. REES, “Pres. Southern Illinois Conf.”

“I think the plan to be just the right one. “A. T. ROBINSON, “Pres. Nebraska Conf.”

“I approve of the plan. It is a happy thought, and it is the right move. “C. McREYNOLDS, “Pres. Kansas Conf.”

“Considering all the phases of the question the reports in the REVIEW will be the best way. “CLARENCE SANTEE, “Pres. Southern California Conf.”

“We favor the plan, and believe it will have a good effect. “H. S. SHAW, “Pres. Minnesota Conf.”

“I am very much pleased with the plan, and believe it will be the means of accomplishing much more good for our

brethren and for the cause in general than to publish the reports in the form of a bulletin. “W. J. STONE, “Pres. Indiana Conf.”

“I acquiesce in the plan. “W. H. THURSTON, “Pres. Canadian Union Conf.”

“I am much pleased to learn that the proceedings of the General Conference will be printed in the REVIEW. “S. E. WRIGHT, “Pres. Northern Michigan Conf.”

This entire issue of the REVIEW could not contain the expressions approving the plan of publishing the report of the conference in the REVIEW, coming from members of the churches located in all sections of the country.

Current Mention

— At Madrid, Spain, April 8, 400 persons were killed or injured by the collapse of a new water reservoir, which was in process of erection.

— Forty-three miners were killed in a coal-mine at Zeigler, Ill., April 3, by an explosion of blasting powder, which is believed to have been the act of some unknown parties. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that the men were murdered.

— One of the greatest and most destructive earthquakes of modern times has devastated a large section of northern India lying to the east of Lahore. It is reported that in the town of Kangra 4,500 out of a total population of 5,000 were killed. The towns of Dharmasala, Simla, Palanpur, Sujanpur, and Dhawan were also laid in ruins, with great loss of life, the full extent of which is not yet reported. Lady Curzon, wife of the Viceroy, was at Simla, and narrowly escaped death. Great damage was done in the Kulu Valley. The region affected by the earthquake is said to have a population of about 800,000.

— A gift of $100,000 made by the head of the Standard Oil trust to the American Baptist Missionary Union has been accepted by that body. The like gift from the same source to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (Congregational) has not yet been accepted by that body, but the indications are that it will be accepted within a few days. Dr. Josiah Strong, Rev. Washington Gladden, and other clergymen have protested against the acceptance of the gift, on the ground that the Standard Oil trust is a robber of the people, that a person has no right to give a thing which does not belong to him, and that no one has a right to accept such a gift.

— France and Great Britain have concluded a treaty relating to Morocco, by which France becomes the virtual governing power in that country, the sultan's will in government affairs being subject to that of the French governor. By this treaty it is arranged that the interests of France and England in Morocco are to be preferred over those of other countries for a period of thirty years. The German kaiser, who recently paid a visit to the sultan of Morocco, ignores the claims of France and Great Britain, and has announced that such claims will not be recognized by Germany. There is at present no stable government in Morocco, large sections of the country being ruled by bandits and local chieftains, and the most barbarous practises are perpetrated unrestrained. It is believed by some that the kaiser has designs on Holland, and is preparing to negotiate with France and England for a free hand in that country, in exchange for a free hand in Morocco on the part of those powers.

— Recent dispatches from St. Petersburg show that the revolutionary movement in Russia has attained dimensions which cause it to overshadow in importance the progress of the war with Japan. Every day brings an increasing prospect of a general upheaval in city and country.

“Evidence accumulates,” says one dispatch, “that the radical forces are acting in unison, and awaiting a signal, which, it is generally believed, will be given shortly after the Russian Easter. The Terrorists are showing great activity, and reports from all over the country prove that the workmen, who in many cases have been formulating petty demands which are no sooner granted than they are succeeded by others, are acting under instructions from the revolutionary leaders, who are only biding their time.” Peasant uprisings, which are generally of a savage character and marked by murder, pillage, and destruction of property, are reported from the Baltic provinces, and the Gore district of the Caucasus, and in many other places civil government is virtually suspended. A dispatch from Samara, dated April 6, says: “The Exchange here, representing commercial connections over a region inhabited by 7,000,000 people, has telegraphed to M. Bouligan, minister of the interior, that the whole area is in a condition of extreme excitement, and that a terrible catastrophe is only avoidable by immediately summoning representatives of the people, in accordance with the terms of the imperial rescript. The Exchange also demanded representation upon the commission which is considering the subject. The peasants are greatly aroused over the reports that the ‘intellectuals’ are seeking to return them to a condition of slavery.” From Moscow come reports of the movements of the Social Revolutionary party for the overthrow of the monarchy and autocracy and the establishment of a republic, for the forming of which a most complete program has been prepared. The main points of this program are set forth in a document issued by the central committee of this party, of which hundreds of thousands of copies have been scattered in all parts of European Russia. The program is divided under two heads, the first covering the “politico-legal” domain, under which is demanded, among other things, the institution of a democratic republic with broad autonomy for the provinces; direct secret universal ballot for all persons without distinction of sex, race, or religion; proportional representation in the national legislature, direct popular legislation; electibility, responsibility, and removability of all officials; separation of church and state; complete freedom of conscience, speech, and of the press; and the abolition of the standing army and the substitution of a national militia. Under the second head, of “national economy and domain,” the industrial system is considered, in which is included the hours of labor, wages, state insurance for laborers, child labor, factory construction, etc. The party declares in this part of its program that the earth is the common heritage of all citizens, and demands the abolition of private ownership, with the sequestration of crown, state, and church lands, turning them over to the communes. The ideas of socialism are also applied in the realm of finance. It is reported that the fleets of Admirals Rozhdestvensky and Togo are now close to each other, and the report of a great naval battle is expected within the next few days.

Field Notes

THE company at Oakdale, Neb., have decided to erect a house of worship.

A SABBATH-SCHOOL of twenty-five members was recently organized at Gibson, Mo.

A CHURCH of thirty-two members was recently organized at Antelope, O. T., thirteen of whom united with the church by baptism.

“It has been decided,” says the Indiana Reporter, “to hold a young people's State convention at the Manual Training Academy [Boggstown], April 14-16.”

THE church at North Liberty, Ind., has been greatly benefited by recent meetings conducted by Elder Byron Hagle. A number who have been on the background were reclaimed.

THE Workers' Record speaks well of the outlook for the canvassing work in Missouri. “The prospects are,” it says, “we will have thirty-five or forty canvassers in the field in Missouri this season.”

ELDERS R. C. HORTON and W. E. Videto are conducting meetings at Berrien Springs, Mich., with an attendance varying from sixty to two hundred. Two prominent members of the Methodist Church have accepted the truth, which has created quite a stir and some opposition.

ELDER C. J. Buhalts reports from Martinsville, Ind., that the interest there is still rising. A lady teacher in the Disciple Sunday-school is keeping the Sabbath, against great opposition, and another young lady has also begun its observance. Fifteen persons are ready for organization into a church.

About ten years ago he gave his heart to God, and joined the Seventh-day Adventist church at Olympia, Wash. He leaves a wife and six children and a large circle of friends to mourn his death.

LYMAN.—Emma S., wife of L. O. Lyman, quietly fell asleep in Jesus at their home in Stockton, Cal., March 20, 1905, aged 29 years, 11 months, and 20 days.

Besides her husband, she leaves a son, a father and mother, sisters, and a brother. Words of comfort and hope were spoken by the writer, assisted by Elder Watson. JESSE D. RICE.

GORDON.—Died at Manistee, Mich., March 8, 1905, Mrs. George Gordon, aged 29 years, 11 months, and 20 days. In youth she consecrated her life to the service of the Master, and was always true. For two years she has been a sufferer, but through it all she was sustained by the Christian's hope. She leaves a husband and one daughter to mourn their loss. Funeral service was conducted by the writer. J. J. IRWIN.

WOODWORTH.—Died March 20, 1905, Sister Lovina Woodworth, aged 86 years, 3 months, and 7 days. She became a Christian in her youthful days. The last thirty-four years of her life she was connected with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Three children survive her.

WEBSTER.—Died at Holton, Kan., March 21, 1905, of strangulation caused by accidentally swallowing a bone collar button, which lodged firmly in the windpipe, Paul Sylvester, son of Albert and Lottie Webster, aged 9 years. Although so young, he was a most earnest Christian, and member of the Holton church. His Christian life among all his friends gave the writer opportunity to speak with unusual freedom of the value of the last-day gospel message. The bereaved family feel keenly their loss, but are comforted of God. C. F. PARMELE.

GLADDEN.—Died suddenly at Glen Sutton, Quebec, March 23, 1905, of heart-disease, Willard S. Gladden, aged 69 years and 22 days. Brother Gladden accepted the truth under the labors of Elder Rodney S. Owen fifteen years ago, and became an active member in the church, and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to assist in carrying forward the message. He leaves two sons, five daughters, and other relatives and friends to mourn, but not without hope. The writer was assisted by Elder J. H. J. Kerr (Episcopal) in conducting the funeral service. H. E. RICKARD.

NESMITH.—Died at Boulder, Colo., March 8, 1905, of consumption, Mary Ella Nesmith. Sister Nesmith was born Oct. 6, 1860, in Boone County, Illinois. Six years later she, with her parents, moved to Vernon County, Wisconsin, where they accepted the message of Jesus’ soon coming. At the age of nineteen she went to South Dakota, and after a few years entered the Bible work, to which fourteen years of her life was devoted. Faithfulness characterized all her work. The funeral service was conducted from the home of her brother, near Dexter, S. D. Words of comfort were spoken from Mark 14:8. C. A. BURMAN.

NORMAN.—William Albury Norman was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, British West Indies, Dec. 11, 1847, and died after eleven days’ illness, March 9, 1905, aged 57 years. He was converted in early life, and united with the Methodist church in Kingston, Jamaica. In May, 1892, he decided to take a trip to America; this was the turning-point in his life. He heard and accepted the views held by Seventh-day Adventists, and in January, 1894, he and his wife were baptized, and united with the Brooklyn church. He died with a bright hope of immortality. A wife, five children, and one sister are left to mourn. The funeral was held at his late residence in New York City, words of exhortation and comfort being spoken by Elder C. H. Edwards and the writer, after which he was laid to rest at the Kensico Cemetery to await the voice of Christ. J. K. HUMPHREY.

BRIGGS.—Died at the St. Helena Sanitarium, March 10, 1905, Mrs. Annie Grant Briggs, aged 56 years. Her husband, Elder Briggs, a blind, but very efficient Seventh-day Adventist minister, died about fourteen years ago, in the same place. During the two years of Sister Briggs’s last illness, she was a patient sufferer, exhibiting in a marked degree that meek and quiet spirit which, in the sight of God, is of great price. She rests in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. H. A. ST. JOHN.

WORDELL.—Died at Whitewood, S. D., Feb. 27, 1905, my dear sister, Clara B. Wordell, aged 53 years, 7 months, and 10 days. In very early life she was converted and united with the Methodist Church. She accepted present truth in 1877, and continued faithful until her death. She leaves a husband, two daughters, four brothers, and three sisters to mourn her death, but we are comforted with the blessed hope. A short funeral service was conducted in the Methodist church at Whitewood by the Methodist pastor and myself, after which her body was brought to College View, Neb., for interment. R. W. PARMELE.

JOHNSON.—Died in Claremont, N. H., March 12, 1905, of rheumatic fever, Mrs. Lou C. Johnson, aged 48 years. She was converted when about twelve years of age, and united with the Friends. Twenty-one years ago, with her husband, she embraced present truth under the labors of Elder H. W. Pierce, in Montgomery, Vt., and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She fell asleep praising God for the blessed assurance that she should be among the ransomed of the Lord at his coming. A husband, two sons, three daughters, her aged father, with other near relatives and sympathizing friends and neighbors, mourn for her. The funeral was conducted by the writer; text, Ps. 15:17. T. H. PURDON.

BAKEMAN.—Died at Bethel, Wis., Feb. 9, 1905, Frank Bakeman, aged 80 years, 5 months, and 24 days. Brother Bakeman was born in Finland. He spent nineteen years on the seas as a sailor. About thirty-four years ago he came to America, and some time after his arrival was converted, and joined the Hundred Mile Grove Seventh-day Adventist church in Dane County, Wisconsin. His health was apparently quite good up to the time of retiring on the day of his decease. While unrolling in the evening, he expired at the side of the bed. We believe he sleeps in Jesus. The funeral discourse was delivered in the Bethel church by the writer, from Heb. 9:27, 28. WM. COVERT.

CROSSLEY.—Died in Trenton, N. J., of old age, Abraham Crossley, aged 84 years. Brother Crossley was converted in middle life, through the agency of a faithful devoted wife, who preceded him to the grave about five years ago. He was born in England, and came to this country in 1863, and enlisted in the Northern army. Settling in Trenton, N. J., he was for years an honored member of the Baptist church of that place. In the summer of 1901 he accepted the truth under the labors of Elder E. E. Franke, and from that day he was unwavering in his allegiance to the third angel’s message. Unable to read, he was possessed of a wonderful memory, and so was able to retain much that he heard. Above all, he knew the voice of his Master, so that when the message came, he was eager to accept it. His saintly smile and cheering words are greatly missed by his brethren and sisters. A large company assembled at the funeral, the sermon being preached by the Rev. Dr. J. K. Manning of the Baptist Church, his former pastor, assisted by the writer. Several sons and daughters are left to mourn. C. H. KESLAKE.
