—Color has divided the North Carolina Methodist (North) Conference. —Rev. Mr. McLafferty has resigned his pastorate of the First Baptist church of Oakland. —Springfield, Mass., has 14 churches which together owe $213,000. Their debt in 1872 was $148,500. —The Philadelphia Bible Society has reduced the price of neatly bound Bibles to 25 cents a copy, and of Testaments to five cents. —A "General Sunday-school Superintendent" has been found to work successfully in every denomination which has adopted the plan. —Reuben Nelson, D. D., senior publisher and book agent in charge of the Methodist Book Concern, recently died in New York, aged sixty. —Dr. McAnally, editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate, is partially disabled with "pen paralysis," and is compelled to employ an amanuensis. —Mr. Sankey is holding crowded meetings in different parts of England. It is said there is as much interest in his singing as there was in Moody's preaching. —Suit for $40,000 has been brought against Beecher by his publishers for expenses incurred on his Life of Christ, which were lost by failure on the contract. —Boston proposes to dispense with hymn books, and to "throw up" the verses on to a canvass by means of a magic lantern, so as to be in sight of the congregation. —The "Revised Book of Discipline" of the Southern Presbyterian Church has been rejected by the first Presbytery which voted upon it. Repeated revisions have been rejected. —A contributor to the Sunday Afternoon says that "Moses, the law-giver of the Hebrews, taught—'Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.'" Chapter and verse, please. Alexander Clark says, —There is enough book theology among us to cover the past and future histories of the fallen race; but scarcely religion enough to sustain the week-night hour of prayer. —Thirty-six years ago the Island of Samoa had a population of 34,000, all of which were barbarians. The population now numbers 80,000, the majority of whom are Christians. In the theological seminary are sixty students, and twenty missionaries are sent out every year to the neighboring islands. —Elihu Burritt, known as the "learned blacksmith," died March 6, at his residence in New Britain, Conn., where he was born in 1810. His learning was principally in languages, of which he was master of twenty-three. A desire to read the Scriptures in the original led him to make languages his study. —A correspondent of Pall Mall Gazette, writing from Rome, says,—Cordial letters have been exchanged between the Pope and the German Emperor. Concessions are made on both sides. A majority of the Cardinals oppose the Pope's acceptance of the civil list; he decides, nevertheless, that ecclesiastics must obey the laws. —Archbishop Purcell defaulted on money loaned to him, as was reported, for $500,000. But the claims have come in for over $6,000,000. Much indignation is felt among the Germans, of whom he borrowed large sums and with it helped to build chapels for the Irish Catholics, while those of their own nationality were neglected. He will be canonized, no doubt. —The North Philadelphia Methodist District Conference has refused to renew the licenses of Sisters Sharpe and Stewart as exhorters, who had been licensed by the Cohocksink Quarterly Conference, the license being "irregular." A church paper says that no exhorter, local preacher, or pastor in that conference has labored more earnestly or successfully in the past 12 months than those sisters. The question has yet to be decided by the General Conference whether women may be licensed to exhort and preach. —The Romanists in Richmond, Va., are making strenuous efforts to win the colored people, and are holding special services for them in the cathedral under the lead of Bishop Keane. It is intended to explain Romish services, and the difference between Romanism and Protestantism. But the Protestant pastors are on the alert to counteract these efforts, and it is expected that much will be accomplished. It is said that in Virginia, for every convert gained to Romanism, two born Romanists "have been brought within the pale of some Protestant church." —It is almost amusing to notice what curiosities are exhibited weekly and labeled "Sermons." Last Sunday, in San Francisco, Dr. Hemphill gave a good essay on Christianity in Politics; Dr. Bowles, having been to the theatre, in the morning recommended the Passion Play! Mr. Stebbins, Unitarian, talked about New England Literature; Dr. Bowles preached in the evening about "the Sea," and the physiology of fishes; Dr. Evarts of Chicago came nearest to the gospel on worship and a regard for the Sabbath; Mr. Anthony spoke on "Good Men for Office;" and Dr. Kalloch, who is angling for a nomination for Governor, told California her duty in regard to the Chinese. Of course he was "enthusiastically applauded," and therefore did not speak in vain—he got his reward. —Oakland had a thunder shower March 7. —Five persons perished in a fire in East St. Louis, March 9. —Eighteen houses were burned in Silver City, Nev., March 4. —A colliery explosion in England, March 5, killed nineteen persons. —A band of 500 Greeks crossed into Thessaly and destroyed a village. —The Turks are repeating their barbarities in the sections evacuated by the Russians. —But little snow is reported on the Sierras, and the irrigators are troubled for their summer's work. —March 7, ninety-two Chinamen landed at San Francisco, and one hundred and sixty departed for China. —The plague is reported as stayed in Russia, but precautions are continued for fear of its reappearance. Twenty-one persons were killed and nine houses destroyed in Magburg, Austria, by an avalanche, February 25. —The night of March 6, was one of the windiest known on the Pacific coast for twenty years. At midnight it was a gale. —The English troops repulsed the Zulus in South Africa, Feb. 13, burning one of their military stations. The Zulu loss was heavy. —The New York World says, “Up to the hour of going to press there was no official announcement of the secession of California.” —One canton in Switzerland was damaged to the amount of 4,000,000 francs by the late storm. In the Lausanne district 400,000 trees were destroyed. —Greeley, Col., has a population of three thousand, sells no liquor, criminal courts are idle, and in two years spent only seven dollars of its poor fund. —No tidings are received from fourteen fishing vessels which left Gloucester, Mass., for George's Banks before a recent storm. It is feared they are all lost. —Superintendent Mann of San Francisco strongly objects to a reduction of expenses in the school department where it will affect the salaries of the rank and file of teachers. —The settlers in San Joaquin Valley, especially in Tulare County, have bound themselves to resist by force if necessary the efforts of the Southern Pacific Railroad to eject them. —The eastern papers note a marked improvement in business. Resumption has placed our currency on a sure basis, and times will soon be better it is confidently expected. —Fighting continues in Afghanistan; the snow favors the hostile tribes and embarrasses the English. It is now feared that Russia has designs in that quarter, as Kauffman's command has been increased by 25,000 men. —In the case of Mrs. Foltz, the lady lawyer of San Francisco, the Fourth District Court ordered a writ of mandate compelling the Hastings Law School of the State University to admit her, she having been rejected by the school. —The English have suffered severe defeats in Afghanistan. Fort Langar was taken, and the English Governor was carried bound, a prisoner, to Cabul. It is an important position, and if held will offer a strong check to the further progress of the English. The defeat in Akosta Valley, where the English had established an administration, is described as crushing. —California is having heavy rains, except in the valley of the San Joaquin. From Healdsburg, March 8, about thirteen inches of rain have fallen within this week, raising the Russian river higher than it has reached for a number of years, overflowing thousands of acres of already-seeded land, washing away the soil and carrying away bridges and fences in several places. The large Alexander bridge has started from its foundation, but may be saved. The storm has done more damage than at first supposed. It has washed the railroad track away, causing the necessity of transfer near here. From Shasta, March 8, it still continues raining in torrents, making a rainfall for the last four days of nearly 14 inches, and a total to date of 37 inches. If it continues, and the indications are that it will, the people of the lower country may look for another flood, as the Sacramento is higher than ever before known, and continues rising. There has been no railroad communication for three days. Flumes, ditches and mining apparatus all over the country have been swept away. Nearly the whole of Napa Valley has been undated. At Calistoga the bridge went off, and at Napa city much damage was done. In “Spanishtown,” the lower part of Napa City, several houses were carried away. Railroad and telegraph communication has been obstructed in many places. DIED, in Washington D. C., Feb 3d, 1879, suddenly, of membranous croup, May, youngest child of Phillip S and Mary C. Craig, aged two years and twenty days. This sad news will reach Bro. Craig in far off Japan, and bring sadness to his heart, but may God in his infinite goodness and mercy sanctify this severe affliction to their good, and may this dear family be ready to meet their precious child when the Life-giver shall come. An Appeal for the Testimonies.
By Editor
THE readers of the Review have repeatedly had their attention called to the action of the General Conference in reference to placing the bound volumes of the Testimonies and Spirit of Prophecy in each of our churches. There is no church but can raise the sum of four dollars. This, at the 'reduced rates' to churches, will pay for the eight volumes which at present constitute this library. These books should be in each church immediately, so that these long evenings may be improved in reading them. The presidents and secretaries of our various tract societies, and ministers and leading men in all our churches, should wake up to this matter. It is often remarked, "I believe in them, and have read them;" but upon further inquiry, not unfrequently we learn that although several years before some of the Testimonies had been in the church, yet at that time no trace of a Testimony can be found, and there is perfect ignorance upon the matter contained in them. An inspired penman says, "The devils also believe and tremble," but this does them no good. It is faith that has a practical bearing upon the character which will avail in the day of Judgment. The object of putting these circulating libraries in our churches is that the books may be accessible to those who are unable to purchase them, that all may thus become acquainted with their contents. Thousands of our people will be lost in the day of Judgment by not giving heed to such instructions as are contained in these Testimonies. There are no particular circumstances in life to which some portion or portions of them will not apply, in the warnings and reproofs they contain. Not a few of our brethren have had a sad experience in financial losses by not giving heed to the instruction given in them concerning "patent rights." This is equally true in hundreds of cases in reference to many things relating to our spiritual interests. Many are unacquainted with what they do say upon these things, because they do not read them sufficiently. To neglect, is to slight them and to treat them with contempt. Those individuals, or that people, to whom God comes so near as to speak to them by his Spirit and by his special providence, cannot prosper without giving heed to the instruction given. When God by his Spirit or providence condescends to instruct people, it is for a purpose, and if they could get along as well without his admonition, it would be folly on the part of Omnipotence to impart it to them. Shall we by our actions charge God with folly? Will not our tract societies and ministers take hold of this matter at once, and within a few weeks' time have these books placed in all our churches? Each church should immediately raise money to pay for them. They are neatly arranged in boxes, with full directions how to use them as circulating libraries. We give the above a place in the Signs for two reasons. First, because the importance of the matters of which it speaks. The other reason we are sorry to be compelled to give. It is, that some of the officers of the Tract and Missionary Societies do not take the Review. This is not as it should be. The Review is our church paper, and often contains matters of vital interest to the churches and tract workers which we do not consider necessary to put in the Signs, which circulates so largely in clubs and in new places where these special church matters are not of special interest. We can remember when every family of Adventist Sabbath-keepers took the Review. In those days there was a degree of fervor and depth of interest which, unfortunately, are not always found now, especially among those who do not read the Review and Instructor. Italy and Egypt.

[THE following extracts from letters from Dr. Ribton we copy from the Review. There is something impressive and heart-cheering in the reports from Northern and Southern Europe and Africa. The Lord's hand is in this work. Who can but wish to be a co-worker?] "I ARRIVED at Alexandria on the 7th, after a voyage so exceptionally favorable that it showed clearly that the hand of the Lord was with me. "Were I to live a thousand years I could never forget the scene we had on New Year's evening before my departure. All the brethren assembled for a farewell meeting, and the affection they manifested was something beyond description—a depth of love which only those of the household of faith can comprehend. It was a scene of general weeping, and greatly affected me for the next day. "I found the little church in Alexandria in a very promising condition. Our Bro. Rupp, full of the Spirit of God, has done wonders, and had he the time at his disposal, and the necessary means, he could have done very much more. I shall now, under Divine direction, endeavor to aid him with all the energy that God gives me. This town is full of Italians, and it is certainly a relief to be able to preach to them without being exposed to stone-throwing, and without the necessity of a guard of police at the door. We have a young Isarelite, converted under Bro. Rupp's ministry, now a candidate for baptism, and upon whom the Spirit of God has fallen. He speaks Italian and Arabic equally well. In order to work up our meetings, I am employing him to go around among the Italians with hand-bills, and I hope very soon, with his aid, to open a series of Arabic meetings. He says the Arabs and Copts listen to him willingly, and will gladly come to hear the preaching of the word as we present it. "I hope to write you more news from here, and good news, after another week. "The news I have received from Naples gives me much consolation. The meeting on last Sabbath was well attended, and was conducted with much fervor by Bro. Tongobardi, an educated lawyer who has lately fully embraced the truth, and who now acts as leader of the church." BEAUTIFUL? yes, but the blush will fade,
The light grow dim which the blue eyes wear;
The gloss will vanish from curl and braid,
And the sunbeam die in the waving hair;
Turn from the mirror and strive to win
Treasures of loveliness still to last;
Gather earth's glories and bloom within,
That the soul may be bright when youth is past. Camp-Meetings.
By Isaac D. Van Horn
WE design holding two camp-meetings in the N. P. Conference this year. The first one will be held near Walla Walla, to commence about the 28th, of May. The Conference, and T. and M. Society will have their annual meeting at this time. It will be necessary for all the officers to so arrange their books, accounts, and other business as to be ready for inspection and settlement, that the true standing of the Conference and T. and M. society may be shown. All our brethren and sisters east of the Cascade mountains will be expected to attend that meeting. The second camp-meeting will be held near Salem, Oregon, on our beautiful camp-ground of last year. This meeting will commence about the 18th of June and continue a week. It will be expected that all our friends in Western Oregon and Washington will attend this meeting. Let all our people begin immediately to circulate the notice of these meetings that they may be known all over the Conference. Let every family prepare themselves with a tent and bring it on the ground. If any one wishes to have a tent prepared for him, let him notify me immediately that I may have time to get them made. Be in season. A tent 10x12, 3½ ft. wall, will take 55 yards of common drilling, and when done will cost from $12 to $15, and will be a very pretty tent. Let all get ready for the camp-meetings. I. D. VAN HORN, Pres. N. P. Conf. The Importance of Truthful Storytelling
NEVER deceive for the sake of a foolish jest, or to excite the laughter of a few companions at the expense of a friend. Be anxious, when you relate anything, to tell it just as it occurred. Never vary in the least degree. The reason why our ears are so often saluted by false reports is because people in telling real things add a little to them, and as they pass through a dozen mouths the original stories are turned into something entirely different. So when you attempt to tell anything that you have seen with your own eyes, relate it correctly in every particular, and as you grow older you will will reap the advantages of this course. Proxies!
By James Edson White
We have taken great pains to send blank certificates of proxy to every stockholder whose address it was possible to find. We hope no one, who cannot be at the meeting, will neglect attending to this matter at once. If a majority of stock is not represented, no meeting can be held. Stockholders' Meeting
