T is the work of parents to educate and discipline their children. Let parents remember that they have transmitted to their children their own hereditary tendencies. Let them deal sharply with themselves as they see themselves mirrored in the dispositions of their children. Let parents open the door of their own hearts to Jesus, that His love and grace may take possession of the soul, and bring their will and ways into conformity to Christ's will and ways; then they will be able to impart divine instruction to their children.
It is a mistake for parents to notice every little defect in the manners of their children. They should not criticize them continually, but when they see wrong traits of character developing, they should make most strenuous efforts to correct the wrong by strengthening traits of an opposite nature. If you roughly lay hold on these disagreeable developments, and battle with them concerning their objectionable traits, you will be in danger of causing two evils to exist in trying to eradicate one. When children are inclined toward evil, seek to draw their minds away from the things that will mar them, and turn their attention in a different channel.
If you would train a precious pink, or rose, or lily, how would you minister to it? Ask the gardener by what process he makes every branch and leaf flourish so beautifully, to develop in symmetry and loveliness. He will tell you that it was by no rude touch, no violent effort, for this would only break the boughs, but by little attentions oft repeated. He moistened the soil and protected the plants from the fierce blasts and from the scorching sun, and God, by His miraculous power, caused the plants to flourish and to blossom into loveliness. Parents should follow the method of the gardener in dealing with their children, and if the grace of Christ is in the heart, parents will seek in various ways to educate and train their children, to fashion their characters after the divine model. Parents should not be satisfied until they see the image of the divine in the characters of their children. They may give God all the glory for their success, because it has been the grace of Jesus Christ that has made the fathers and mothers wise to train their children.
That can not be a happy home where love is not cultivated between husband and wife, between parents and children. If parents have been self-centered, and have trained their children in an atmosphere where love was not manifested in affectionate words and actions, then change the atmosphere of your home as quickly as possible. Let husbands love their wives, and let the wives see that they reverence their husbands. The plan of salvation was devised in order to transform the natural character, and fashion it after the divine image. When the grace of Christ is received in the heart, it will soften whatever is harsh, and subdue that which is coarse and unkind. Courtesy will be expressed in the affairs of home life. Let father and mother remember that they themselves are but grown-up children. The great light has shone upon their pathway, and they have had long experience, yet how easily are they stirred to envy, jealousy, and evil surmisings! Because of their own mistakes and errors, they should learn to deal gently with their erring children.
Just as you conduct yourself in your home life, you are registered in the books of heaven. He who would become a saint in heaven, must first become a saint in his own family. If fathers and mothers are true Christians in the family, they will be useful members of the church, and will be able to conduct affairs in the church and in society after the same manner in which they conduct their family concerns. Parents, let not your religion be simply a profession, but let it become a reality. When truth is brought into the inner sanctuary of the soul, it has a wonderful and powerful effect upon the life. It will expel the love of self, indulgence of self, hastiness and petulance of temper, sensitiveness and pride. These are the things that drive Christ from the heart, and when they are manifested in the life, the professors of religion can not experience that noble joy that makes the servant of Christ free. He who professes to love the truth, and yet does not bring it into practical life, is bearing a heavy yoke. He admits the principles of truth to be right, and yet fails to carry them out in his actions, and thus cuts off his influence. He is subject to various caprices of his own natural character, and robs God of the service for which he was purchased by the precious blood of Christ.
Until Christianity is planted in the heart, it can not control the life, for it is the evil in the heart that must be corrected. It is not enough to have a form of godliness without holiness to the Lord, for it is like cleansing the outside of the cup while impurities remain within. A belief of doctrines, however pure they may be, will not save a soul from death, unless they are brought into contact with the life. The heart must be purified through obedience to the truth.
Parents, you need to study your Bibles in order to know how to bring up your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. You can not continue to indulge in your fitful manner of managing your children, and yet be accounted as true and faithful before God. You must watch for the souls of your children as those that must give an account. You should consider it your duty before God to educate your children in some useful employment. They can not be permitted to spend their lives in amusing themselves simply, without being exposed to temptation. You should train your children to orderly habits, teaching them to bear responsibilities according to their years. You should train them also in habits of economy, instructing them to bind about their wants and restrict their desires for indulgence in dress and holiday pleasures.
Parents who profess to believe the truth should earnestly strive for the salvation of their children, teaching them, both by precept and example, that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." It is with God, who looks upon the heart, that we have to do. Have the parents given the whole heart to God? Have parents appreciated the countless blessings He has bestowed? Have they educated themselves in presenting gratitude offerings to God in response for all His blessings, until their affections are set on things above, and not on things on the earth? The heart is the citadel of the whole man, and, until the heart is wholly on the Lord's side, the enemy will find his stronghold there, and no human power can dislodge him. The Lord alone can do this work.
There are many professed Christian parents whose souls are preoccupied with so many other things that there is no room in the soul temple for the presence of Jesus. They have given to their idols the devotion that is due alone to God. The door of the heart is closed against the truth, and Christ is misrepresented in spirit, in character, and in actions. Their children are unconverted, wayward, and pleasure loving, and no recommendation to the truth. Should some of these youth be cut down with disease and have no opportunity to repent, they would be lost, forever lost. They are indulging in worldly follies and pleasures, and this will not give their souls a fitness for the society of heavenly angels. Souls are perishing because they have not an experimental knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ whom He has sent. Many sit under the sound of the gospel, but they do not take it as the truth, because parents keep practical religion apart from their lives. The glad tidings that should awaken every soul is of none effect to them. They are pointed to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world; but they say, There will be time enough to-morrow, and the bewitching power of sin holds them firmly in its grasp. As they can not serve Christ and the world at the same time, they choose the service of sin and receive its wages.
Will you not face heavenward? Will you not open the chambers of the mind to the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness? Will you not open the door of the heart, and welcome Jesus in? There is healing in His wings. He will create the kindness and love in your hearts that should be cherished and exhibited in your family; and this love will not only embrace your own household, but will flow out to those around you in the church and the world. We do not plead for a manifestation of what the world calls courtesy,13but for that courtesy which every one will take with him to the mansions of the blessed. O, what rays of softness and beauty shone forth in the daily life of our Saviour, and were revealed in all the associations which He cherished! There never was so perfect an illustration of genuine courtesy as that which was exemplified in the life of Jesus. He bids parents to come unto Him and learn of Him, for He is meek and lowly of heart. He says to the children, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." Send them not to the rabbis, send them not to the Pharisees, but take the little children to Jesus for instruction and discipline.

Review of Patriarchal History
By Editor
Life and Times of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. By William Hanna Thomson, M.D., LL.D. 12 mo. Cloth. Illustrated. Price $1.20 net. By mail, $1.32. Funk & Wagnalls Co., publishers, New York.
Dr. William Hanna Thomson is a son of Dr. William Thomson, who wrote "The Land and the Book," and the object of this work is to supplement the book which his father wrote. The author of this work which we are reviewing traveled with his father when the latter was gathering material for his well-known book, and largely illustrated his father's book. The volume is based on his own personal experiences while traveling with his father. "The Land and the Book" alludes to very few details connected with his father's journeys. This book, however, does, and therefore is supplementary to the first volume. It is largely based, so far as the Biblical story itself is concerned, on the book of Genesis, altho the author gives one chapter to the book of Job.
Dr. Thomson does not hold with the Higher Critics, who make it a later production than the time of Moses, nor with the earlier supposition that Moses himself wrote the book. He believes that it was written in times long anterior to those of Moses, and that it was written in Northern Arabia, and not in Palestine. He thinks, however, that it was known and read in Midian long before the Hebrews knew anything about it. The volume is exceedingly instructive regarding the land and people and customs.

Temperance Torchlights
IS a book that will truly "set you on fire" in the great war against intemperance. This is not because of its sensational character, but because of the facts, suggestions, incidents, and material for work it groups and places at your disposal.
The first department, entitled "The Curse of the Cup," tells of the effects of liquor in heathen lands, charts the United States drink bill, and shows what the actual returns are from the traffic. It produces statements from the liquor dealers, facts revealed by science, and many interesting incidents, illustrations, and quotations.
The chapter on "Tobacco, an Ally of the Liquor Traffic," is timely. The evils of the cigaret are pointed out so clearly as surely to impress every boy or young man who reads it.
"The Great American Fraud"—Patent Medicines—is the subject of one department. "The Temperance Movement" is the title of a chapter in which is given the history of the temperance movement in America and in other countries, and brief biographies of the men and women who led out in this cause. Prohibition is discussed from every standpoint in the department dealing with "The Law and the Liquor Traffic." How to build for temperance in the home, and how to plan and carry on successful temperance meetings, and do temperance educational work in the neighborhood, are questions clearly explained in other chapters.
"Temperance Torchlights" is thoroly alive. It takes with the young people, and will have a powerful influence for good among them. As stated by the leader of a great denomination, "It is one more keen weapon placed in the hands of the 'temperance army.'"
256 pages, attractively bound in cloth, 50 cents.

The Advance Guard of Missions
"The Advance Guard of Missions." By Clifford G. Howell. Illustrated. Cloth, $1.50. Pacific Press Publishing Assn., Mountain View, Cal.
The object of this book is to set forth in vivid life sketches the work of various missionary pioneers in different parts of the world. It is to show the simple, earnest faith possessed by these men, and God's responses to their faith. It is to show how, as these men went with the gospel of Christ in their hearts and a burden for souls, men and women in all conditions of life, from the civilized, moral worldling, to those sunk in the lowest pagan idolatry, yielded themselves to the gospel call, and became changed men and women. It is a book which is helpful to all, a book which ought to be read by young men and young women in this age of skepticism and infidelity. The lives of John Eliot, David Brainerd, Bartholomew Ziegenbalg, Count Zinzendorf, the Wesleys, William Carey, Robert Morrison, Adoniram Judson, and a score of others, are indeed inspiring. One would look far and long to find greater heroes in the civil and military world than these men have been. There are twenty-seven different chapters in the book, dealing with a third of a hundred missionaries. It is an inspiring book for the young.
BOOK NOTICES
"How to Attract and Hold an Audience," a popular treatise on the nature, preparation, and delivery of public discourse. By J. Berg Esenwein, A.M., Lit.D., professor of the English language and literature in the Pennsylvania Military College. Hinds, Noble & Eldridge, publishers, 31 W. 15th St., New York City. Price $1.00.
The aim of this little volume is to set forth in a scientific and easily understood way the theory of spoken discourse,—the preparation of the discourse, the preparation of the speaker, and the delivery. These are considered under various chapter headings, as "The Nature of Public Speech," "The Forms of Discourse," "Building Up and Breaking Down of Arguments," "Kinds of Public Discourse," "Various Kinds of Oratory," "Originality," "How to Acquire an Oratorical Vocabulary," "Style in Public Discourse," etc. The book contains a digest of rhetorical rules, the necessity of mental preparation, preparation for expression of voice, etc., etc. It has four appendixes, outlines of oration, model orations, one hundred subjects for orations repeated in the Appendix D. The little volume contains most excellent instruction and suggestions to those who wish to become acceptable public speakers, and it puts it in a straightforward, common sense way.
Economic and Moral Aspects of Liquor
By Editor
"Economic and Moral Aspects of the Liquor Question, and the Rights and Responsibilities of the State and the Control Thereof." By Robert Bagnell, Ph.D., D.D. 12 mo. Cloth, 75c net. By mail, 83c. Funk & Wagnalls Co., publishers, New York.
Dr. Bagnell's object in this volume is not to study the effect of the liquor question upon the individual, but it is the study of the question in relation to society. As the introduction states, "we are concerned with the question of the use of liquor by the individual only in his relations with society," and from this view-point as to whether the state has any right to control the traffic. There are nine chapters in the little book, the titles of which give a fairly good scope of the work,—"The Effects of the Excessive Use of Alcohol upon the Individual," "The Influence of the Saloon in the Community," "The Economic Aspects of the Question," "The Study of the Problem of Liquor," "The Power of the State to Control the Liquor Traffic," "The Basis of the Rights and Responsibilities of the State," "The Individual and His Rights," "The Conflict of Rights," "The Right of the State to Control the Use and Sale of Liquors." All temperance workers, even, may not agree with some of the arguments presented by Dr. Bagnell, but they will agree with his conclusion that the state has the right to control the liquor traffic. The purely economic reasons, it seems to us, clearly show that this is the case. If the individual were concerned with himself alone, and his case affected himself alone, it would be quite a different matter; but the fact that the consequences of drinking so affect the community itself, is pretty clear evidence that the state has the right to control it. The temperance worker will find in the book most excellent help indeed, and it would be a pretty difficult matter for the man who believes in the liquor traffic to confute the arguments presented.

Salvation and Obedience to God’s Law
Because the apostle Paul emphasizes the fact that only in Christ is salvation, he does not minimize obedience to the law of God's government. In fact, obedience is the object of salvation. Salvation from what?—Sin. What is sin?—Transgression of law. 1 John 3:4. What law?—The law which declares, "Thou shalt not covet." Rom. 7:7. A salvation which will not save a man from sin, and make him a loyal, obedient subject, is a failure. It weakens government, it unsettles the loyal, and would fill the kingdom with traitors and self-seekers. Paul declares that faith establishes the law. Rom. 3:31. And to a fellow worker he writes that Christ "gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."

Pacific Coast Educational Institute
By Editor
The manager of our book department, H. H. Hall, and our treasurer, H. G. Childs, have just returned from the educational institute of our two Pacific Coast union conferences held at Portland, Oregon. One of the features of the institute was the dedication of our new branch office in Portland. These brethren bring an excellent report of the meetings and the prosperity of the work in that field. An illustration of the new office and a more extended report from Brethren Hall and Childs will be given next week.
The World Getting Better
By T.
WE used to hear a great deal more than we do now about how much better the world is getting. Many have earnestly and eloquently taught that the world is getting better so rapidly that we will soon have the millennium, when there will not be a wicked individual left. But while human theory has been thus, the Bible has ever been very explicit in saying that "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." 2 Tim. 3:13. God knows the right in this as well as in all other things; and is it not safe to trust His Word?
One of the statements made by the Master in His Sermon on the Mount reads: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matt. 7:13, 14. There should be no mistaking the import of this scripture. It plainly shows that the strait gate is narrow, and the way into which it opens is also narrow, and it is only the "few" who are found in that way, while on the other hand the "many" pass through the "wide gate" into the "broad way."
Our common, every-day observation should teach us that the foregoing words from the Master represent the actual conditions in the world. The great mass of the people to-day, as has ever been the case, are rushing after money and the pleasures of this life. Many of them, it is true, may be professors of Christianity, and may even be leading fairly decent lives, but how many are there who actually come up to the standard set in the Sermon on the Mount, from which that text is taken? Or asked in another way, how many are really trying to reach such a standard of righteousness?
We should not allow ourselves to be deceived by the superficial talk or writing of those who are trying to make themselves and us believe that this old wicked world is getting better. God's Word has declared plainly what the conditions would be, and our unprejudiced observation will teach us that God is right no matter what some men may say.

Leprosy a House-Disease
Leprosy a House-Disease.—According to the Journal of the Medical Association, eighteen states and the District of Columbia reported 146 cases of leprosy in this country in 1911. The next year 278 cases were discovered, 145 of which were foreign born; 186 were reported as having contracted the disease in this country; only 72 cases were isolated. Only three states make specific provision for lepers—California, Louisiana, and Massachusetts. There are 28 known lepers in Porto Rico and thousands in the Philippines. One thing of interest here is that it has been shown in the Philippines that leprosy is a "house-disease." But 1,500 years before Christ it was told in Lev. 14:33-53, in the laws of Moses, that leprosy is a "house-disease," and that if the house could not be thoroly cleansed, it should be destroyed. The Bible is a wonderfully up-to-date book.
Improvement in Wireless Telegraphy
The despatches state that a very important improvement in wireless telegraphy has recently been invented. One of the big European telegraph companies has taken it up, and a thoro test is now being made. Stations are in preparation to send messages from London to France, and if successful, immediately following this a station will be erected in Washington, and a regular transatlantic service established. The improved device "consists in being able to control a continuous wave, as compared with intermittent waves by the present system." It is also much speedier, making possible the sending of about 200 words a minute.
Campaign Against Urban Vice
The chief of police of San Francisco is conducting a campaign against pool-rooms, gambling, and the "white slave traffic." "The great metropolis of the Pacific" has spent much time during the last eight or ten years at that sort of work, and she has had lots of cities in other parts of the country to keep her company. In a speech a few days ago, Dr. David Starr Jordan told the people of San Francisco that if they did not rise up and drive out the vices that infest their city, they were doomed. And he further affirmed that the problem of vice and crime that is confronting them is at the same time confronting every other city of the nation. God's Word has told us that "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse," and that the last days shall be made perilous because of it. Men who call themselves "optimists" say that the world is destined to get better and better. It is more desirable to be on the side of God and the facts in the case than to be even an optimist.
The International Money Power
The international strength of the money power is made very apparent through the negotiations looking toward the "six power loan" to the Chinese government. It seems quite evident that the great purpose in making the loan is that the powers represented by this money will be able to hold certain commercial interests in China that they might otherwise lose. The power of gold is seeking to enchain the nations; but in making these efforts, it is at the same time creating conditions of discontent that are bound soon to break forth in a revolution that will make all the revolutions of the past seem like child's play. Only the prophetic vision of the Almighty can pierce the future and make known the outcome of the conditions that are now confronting and perplexing the world. The greed for gold has not only warped the vision of men, but it has so intoxicated them that they seem to be utterly oblivious to the conditions they are creating.
Earthquakes and Their Significance
The Yakutat Bay earthquake, of Alaska, which occurred September 3, 1899, and which was followed during the next three weeks by many less violent shocks, has been set forth in a United States government document recently as one of the ten greatest earthquakes in history. The greatly increased frequency of earthquakes, together with the storms that are spreading destruction in so many localities, is strikingly significant. It will not do to pass them by without due consideration, for they mean something.
