Salem Center, Wolf Lake, and Ligonier.— From March 28 to April 14, I labored at the above-named places. The meetings at Salem Center were held in the Methodist meeting-house. The turnout was large, and the people seemed deeply interested.
This church is the oldest one in the State, but it has been greatly reduced by removal and death. Although few in number, they still hold regular Sabbath meetings. One young sister walked seven miles over very muddy roads to be at the meetings. She embraced the truth in Iowa. Since her return to this State, she has been an earnest missionary worker, and is doing much good. This little church donated $16.00 on tent fund.
At Wolf Lake the meetings were held in the Baptist church and the school-house. The interest manifested was remarkable. The turnout was large. The social meetings were affecting. Four united with the church. While holding meetings with them in January, we agitated the subject of building a meeting-house. During the winter the brethren procured nearly all the lumber necessary to erect a house 30x42. The last time we were there, a lot to build on was purchased. It is located in the highest part of the town. The lumber is now on the ground. Some $400.00 has been subscribed, besides the material on hand, and the work of building will immediately begin. While there, we had invitations to give a course of lectures in four different school districts.
At Ligonier the meetings were good. The district T. and M. meeting was held with this church. The quarter's report was good, and showed that life and activity exist. This church has a model Sabbath-school. They have purchased all things suggested to properly carry on a school, and with the weekly Instructor, charts, class records, register, and Song Anchor, and a determined spirit to learn each lesson, they are making a success of the work.
These churches adopted the tithing system last January, and during the last quarter their S. B. was much larger than usual. To the Lord be all the praise for the spread of the truth.
S. H. Lane.
Frankton, May 5.— Bro. Rees and myself began meetings at this place, May 2, and continued over the 4th. We held seven meetings. First-day, at four P. M., three were buried with their Lord in baptism. Four others have expressed a desire to receive the ordinance next first-day. Nine gave in their names for church membership. They selected one of their number for a leader, and another for church clerk and treasurer. They also pledged to pay to the Conference $19.50 for the remaining part of the Conference year (about four months). This amount will be increased some.
I remain in this vicinity for a few weeks. Bro. Rees goes to Wabash county.

WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
The quarterly meeting at Walla Walla, as reported by Eld. I. D. Van Horn, was well attended. The most of the members of this church have adopted the tithing system.
Eld. Van Horn was at Dayton, April 8 and 9. The church here are doing nobly in financial matters and in the T. and M. work. The Lord is blessing them, and they are prospering. They are taking steps to build a meeting-house.
At Pataha Prairie one was baptized, and a church of ten members was organized. They fully and heartily adopted the tithing system. There seems to be, all through this country, an ear to hear the truth.

Saunders Co., May 6.—I held a quarterly meeting with the Stromsburg church in our new meeting-house. The Spirit of the Lord came in, and we all felt it was good to be there. One was taken into the church by vote. Union and harmony prevail.
From here I went to the Blue Valley church, where I attended the district quarterly meeting of the T. and M. society. We all felt encouraged to engage more earnestly in the work of the tract society. In connection with this meeting, the church held their quarterly meeting. We celebrated the ordinances of the Lord’s house. This was a precious season to our souls. Our hearts were made glad by several new ones taking their stand to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
From this meeting I accompanied Bro. Hurlburt to his home in Saunders county. In this place Bro. Hurlburt had succeeded in establishing a Sunday-school. Using our books, the neighbors became interested in studying prophecy, and were led to search for present truth. I have held meetings with these friends for the last two weeks. Last Sabbath was a good day for this little church. The Spirit of the Lord seemed to walk through the congregation, until there was scarcely a dry eye in the house. Ten were added to the church, and the Sunday-school has become a Sabbath-school. Sunday forenoon, five were buried with their Lord in baptism. May the blessing of the Lord rest on this little company. H. SHULTZ.

Ward, Wilson Co., May 5.—We have finished a two days' meeting with this church. Two more united with us at this meeting. The Sabbath-school is interesting. The average attendance is about thirty. They have taken twelve copies of the weekly Instructor, also organized S. B. among the children, to furnish funds for the Sabbath-school, the pledge amounting to $10 per annum. The S. B. of the church is a little over $5. There are better openings in this county than ever before; for our tracts, scattered far and wide, have prepared the minds of the people to receive the truth. We hope to do a good summer's work here, if this should be my field of labor after Conference. Every family takes our paper. L. D. SANTEE.
THE CAUSE IN THE SOUTH.
By C. O. Taylor
No providence preventing, I will leave Reynolds, Ga., to-morrow, May 5, with my team, to spend a few weeks in South Carolina, and then go to Watauga county, North Carolina, and spend some of the hot summer in that part of the State. There is quite an interest in Adventism in the places where I am going. Some, by reading, have been led to embrace the Sabbath; others have heard on the advent, but know nothing correctly on the Sabbath question and the third angel’s message. I leave a good interest here. Some are reading. The following from a correspondent of one of the county papers will show how some hear:—
“The ‘Seventh-day Adventist,’ Mr. Taylor, of Reynolds, delivered a series of sermons at the Pine Level church on the 12th and 13th insts. to large and attentive congregations. And those who were not laboring under the influence of popular prejudice had an opportunity of gaining a great deal of information on Scriptural subjects. He chose for the basis of his first discourse the second and third chapters of the book of Daniel, and clearly proved to our mind that we are living in the very last age of the world, by showing that the four parts of the image in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar have respect to the four great kingdoms of the earth, which have flourished and decayed; but the last kingdom, the Roman empire, shall have in it ‘the strength of iron,’ but, being mixed with clay, shall be partly strong and partly broken.
“The ten toes of the image represent the ten kingdoms into which the Roman empire was subdivided. ‘And in those days shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom, . . . and it shall stand forever.’ This furnishes incontrovertible proof that ‘the days of these kings,’ mentioned in chap. 2:44, refers to the subdivision of the Roman empire, which can never again be united under the government of a universal ruler. He very beautifully compared the four prophetic symbols of Daniel, which have all been fulfilled, to light-houses along the shores of the stream of time; and the last one having been passed, we may know that the world will soon reach its journey’s end. The second discourse was on the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew; it was very beautiful and explicit, but space will not permit us to give the details.”
All are not so candid. In my trip during the next three or four months, I shall induce as many to read our publications as I can. Those wishing to send the Signs, will write me at Boone, North Carolina. I hope none will be discouraged in sending reading matter, if they do not get answers to their letters. Their “bread is on the waters.” Do your duty faithfully, and leave it with the Lord. I send from here to South Carolina one hundred and twenty pounds of reading matter to be given away when I get there.
I will visit Alabama as soon as I can. Will some member of one of the churches there correspond with me, that I may learn where they are, etc.? I hope to visit New Orleans next winter.
My address, till the first of June, will be Cartersville, Darlington Co., South Carolina. After that, till further notice, Boone, Watauga Co., North Carolina. If any are in correspondence with persons on my route (which they can trace on the map), and wish me to visit them, please write. C. O. TAYLOR.
Obituary Notices.
“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth.” Rev. 14:13.
HAMILTON.—Died at St. Charles, Mich., April 3, 1879, Walter G., son of C. R. and Mary J. Hamilton, who live at Tawas, Mich., aged 2 years, 4 months, and 18 days. They left their home for fear of a dreadful disease which was prevailing in their town and bringing sorrow to many households, and came to St. Charles. Here their little one was taken sick, and in less than one week death claimed his spoil. As the grief-stricken parents turned their faces toward their now desolate home, they could realize more fully than ever before that death is not confined to any one locality. Funeral discourse by the writer at the Adventist house in Jay, Sabbath, April 12, from 1 Thess. 4:13. E. R. JONES.
EGBERT.—Died at Jay, Mich., April 13, 1879, Sister Almira Egbert, aged 73 years, 11 months, and 17 days. Sister Egbert embraced the present truth about the year 1852, at Rochester, N. Y., and has ever since been looking with glad anticipations for the coming of the Lord. She was the first to represent the truth in Saginaw county, and she has ever maintained a consistent walk before the world, and the church to which she belonged. She leaves quite a large circle of children and grandchildren to mourn her loss. Funeral discourse from the words, “And there shall be no more death.” Rev. 21:4. E. R. JONES.
IRVING.—Died of dropsy, in Jay, Saginaw Co., Mich., April 23, 1879, Sister Sabrina Irving, aged 51 years. For years she has been a great sufferer. Those best acquainted with her feel that she has left good evidence that she will have a part in the first resurrection. Remarks by the writer before a large company of the friends and neighbors of the deceased. Subject, the hope of the Christian and its sure reward, founded on Bible promises. A. N. FISHER.

ARE THE DARK AGES RETURNING?
By R. F. Cottrell
“A VIGOROUS enforcement of Sunday laws is needed. If a Jewish key opens a store, a policeman’s baton should close it.”—Rev. Mr. Coxe, in Christian Statesman.
This text is certainly suitable to the “Dark Ages,” when men were persecuted for conscience’ sake. In spirit it harmonizes perfectly with the following, which the Statesman quotes from the Cincinnati Gazette: “Go to the bottom, and enact a law absolutely prohibiting labor on Sundays. It is useless to talk about excepting this class or that class; any law that will make exceptions will prove a failure.” But there is one question to solve. If there are no exceptions to be made for any class, what about policemen going about the streets all day Sunday with their clubs, driving Jews out of their places of business, and conducting them to the lock-up?
It is but a few years ago that the editor of the Statesman was silly enough to argue that it was perfectly consistent, and for the interest of seventh-day Sabbatarians, to favor an amendment of our national Constitution that would enforce the observance of the first day of the week, Sunday upon all. He held that it would be inconsistent for us to oppose the measure; pretending, by a bare-faced sophism which he put forth as sober argument, that after such enactment became a national law, we would be left free to settle the question of the particular day of the Sabbath by the Bible. The above sentiments in his columns show just how free we would be left to discuss this question. An Irishman described a free fight with the shillalah, in which he had been engaged, as “a little discussion with sticks;” but in this case the clubs would be only in the hands of the policemen.
R. F. COTTRELL.
The Pocasset, Mass., Murder.
By Editor
Before the last number of the REVIEW went to press, a report had appeared in the dailies of a terrible murder in Massachusetts, by a Mr. Chas. Freeman, of Pocasset. The man was said to be an Adventist, and the crime was charged to his religious views. He conceived the horrible idea that he was to offer up a member of his family as Abraham offered up Isaac. Accordingly on the morning of May 1, he took his little daughter Edith, about five years of age, his wife, who had fallen under the same infatuation, consenting, and stabbed her to the heart, pouring out her blood upon a table improvised as an altar.
Knowing that this man had no connection whatever with Seventh-day Adventists, we have waited further evidence in regard to his class and standing. It appears that there is a company of some twenty-five so-called Adventists in the place, more or less fanatical like himself, as they tried to conceal the deed. The man having been published as one of the Crisis party, that paper of date of May 7, shows that the Advent-Christian Conference, which it represents, has no church there, and the man had no connection with them. If other reports be correct, he had received the doctrine of the non-resurrection of the wicked.
But, of course, the fault was in the unbalanced, fanatical, phrensied spirit of the man himself. No class of Adventists teach anything, so far as we are aware, which would legitimately or in any way lead to such terrible crimes. Yet we do believe that a consistent faith in God and his word would tend to balance weak minds and correct any disposition toward such horrible impulses.
Sunday Petition to the Ohio Legislature
The monster Sunday petition sent up to the Ohio legislature recently, was signed by Roman Catholics, as well as Protestants. The Christian Statesman thinks this significant. Correct.
New California Constitution Criticized as Mild Socialism
The new Constitution, adopted in California, the N. Y. Times describes as a mild form of socialism. Many of its requirements, it says, “are impossible of execution. Others will be evaded by corrupt officers. But enough will remain to bring disaster and financial distress upon the people.”
Camden Sunday Union Debates Treatment of Sabbath-Keepers
The Camden (N. J.) Sabbath (Sunday) Union, met May 5, to forward its object in securing a better observance of Sunday. A resolution offered by Dr. Honeywell, that those who observe the seventh day as the Sabbath should not be considered by that society as Sabbath-breakers, was laid over to a subsequent meeting! We shall be interested to learn their final action.
Europe's Alarm Over the Russian Nihilist Crisis
Europe is not an uninterested spectator of the Russian crisis. Consternation, not indifference, is the word to express the predominant feeling. Telegrams from the various capitals reveal the state of apprehension into which the crowned heads have fallen as they have got a glimpse of the specter of the secret Nihilist conspiracy of Russia. Even England is said to be anxious to an unusual degree, so much so that Sir Robert Peel, in the house of Commons, two weeks since, asked whether the British Government would take steps “in the interests of humanity to mitigate the horrors and atrocities amid which the reign of terror is now being carried on in Russia over eighty millions of people.” In no more accurate terms can a person, looking on the state of the world to-day, describe the scene, than those in which it was foretold by the lips of our great Prophet more than eighteen hundred years ago—“Distress of nations with perplexity.”
Fashionable Display of Wealth Compared to Belshazzar's Feast
Perhaps some of those ancient nations or individuals which are set forth in the inspired record as objects of God's signal displeasure, went further in impiety and folly than the person described below; but it seems hardly necessary for one to go further to cause his aversion to be manifested in as marked a manner:—
“The papers give an account of a fashionable lady, the wife of a New York banker, who appeared at a fancy dress ball recently as Capital. She was literally loaded down with wealth. The dress, cut en train, was covered on the skirt, so as to make it appear one piece, with $100 and $500 bills. The waist and sleeves were $1,000 bonds sewed in, and her fingers and ears blazed with diamonds as large as peas. The tiara was said to have been worth $80,000, and the total value of the notes and diamonds on her person was $200,000. The pages carried her train, and watched lest the jewelry and greenbacks should roll or fall to the floor. This sounds very much like the narrative of Belshazzar's feast given to a thousand of his lords, when the ‘Mene, mene tekel upharsin,’ was written by the finger of God on the palace wall. Oh! that this nation may speedily bow in humility before God, ere his wrath be kindled against us for our impious sins.”
THE SABBATH CONFLICT.
Under the heading “The Sabbath Conflict,” by which it means the Sunday conflict, the Christian Statesman of May 1 presents the following comprehensive view of the agitation of this question in this country and in Europe:—
The American people are not permitted to lose sight of the Sabbath question for a single day. In quick succession, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and Louisville have been the scene of earnest efforts for the maintenance of existing Sabbath laws. The demand of the Christian public for additional legislation in defence of the day is before the Legislature of Pennsylvania and Ohio. And now Newark, New Jersey, is the seat of a bitter and protracted struggle between the friends and foes of the Day of Rest. In Europe, the same struggle is in progress. “The International Federation for the Observance of the Sabbath” organized at Geneva in 1876, is to meet again in Berne, Switzerland, on the 9th and 10th of September next. It is important that the American Sabbath Societies be represented in that Conference. Such an international organization, serving to bind together the friends of the Sabbath in many lands, is a most important instrumentality in the pending and impending struggle over the law of the weekly rest.
OHIO SABBATH-SCHOOLS, ATTENTION.
By Dudley Marvin Canright
FEELING a deep interest in the prosperity of the Sabbath-school work in Ohio, and being anxious to see it come up, we have taken a step which we believe will accomplish this purpose in a short time. I have so much to do besides, and can get around to the places so seldom, that it is impossible for me to do what should be done in this direction. Hence we have secured the services of Bro. D. W. Reavis, of Battle Creek, Mich., who will visit all our Sabbath-schools in Ohio, and give his whole attention to the Sabbath-school work this summer. He is thoroughly informed in this work, to which he is specially adapted.
We request all our friends in Ohio to give him a warm welcome, and a hearty support. Second his efforts, and carry out his plans as far as possible. He will have a full assortment of everything pertaining to the Sabbath-school, and also Bibles and other books. Whatever profits there may be in these will be applied on his expenses. We also ask the brethren to assist him in every way possible, to save expenses and pay for his time. D. M. CANRIGHT.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
By C. F. Stevens
The grounds for the Kansas camp-meeting have been changed to Soderis Mill on the Cottonwood. It is only half a mile south of the city, and more convenient.
The Detroit Echo—the new weekly edition of The Evening News—is proving an admirable success, being very popular with all classes who cannot enjoy a daily paper. It is acceptable alike to Republicans and Democrats, and is filled with entertaining and instructive reading. The markets, and particularly the live-stock markets, are an especial feature, and altogether The Echo is just the paper for every farmer to take. It can be had for 75 cents a year.
Book Notice.
In another column will be found a notice of three lectures on Masonry given by Mr. E. Romayne in Battle Creek. Mr. R. is the author of two books on this subject, entitled the “Hand Book of Freemasonry,” and “The Master's Carpet.” This latter shows the identity between Masonry and Baal-worship, reviewing the similarity between Masonry, Romanism, and the ancient “mysteries;” and comparing the whole with the Bible. May be had at this office or of Edmund Romayne, 104 Bremer Street, Chicago, Ill. Price of Hand Book, 50 cts., Master's Carpet, 75 cts.
If any of our scattered brethren in Southwestern Iowa desire preaching in their neighborhood, if they will correspond with me to that effect at Osceola, I will make my arrangements to meet with them.

MINNESOTA SABBATH-SCHOOLS.
By W. B. Hill; L. A. Curtis
The Minnesota Sabbath-schools will recite the following lessons at camp-meeting, June 22: 1st Division, Lessons 7 and 8 in Bible Lessons for Little Ones; 2nd Division, Lesson 17, for first Sabbath in May, in Instructor; 3d Division, Lesson 43 in the same number of Instructor; 4th Division, Lesson 28 in Supplement for May.
Questions will be asked on previous lessons, to see which schools are most thorough in teaching and learning the lessons. The Kingston school will have a map recitation.
