Sabbath-School Lessons

THE International Sabbath-School Quarterly, No. 28, containing Sabbath-school lessons for the second quarter of 1902, is just out. Orders can be filled promptly.
This number of the Quarterly begins a new series of lessons on “Studies in the Gospel Message,” for the senior classes. The lessons are prepared in a skillful manner, and well designed to encourage the study of the Scriptures themselves, rather than the written lesson. They are designed to be merely a guide in the study of the word itself.
The lessons as presented in this number of the Quarterly are on the following subjects:—
The Gospel of the Kingdom and the Coming of the Lord; The Question of Supremacy; The Great Controversy Transferred to the Earth; The Two Mysteries; The Gift of the Seed; Faith Is the Victory; The Coming of the Seed; The Tent of Meeting and the True Temple; The Law of God in the Ark and in the Heart; The Promises to David; David’s Response to the Lord’s Promises; Building the House of David; The Sure Mercies of David.
Price, 5 cts. a copy. Order of your State Tract Society.

Recent Developments in Sanitarium Matters

AN interesting article concerning recent developments in Sanitarium matters will be found on the twelfth page.

The Question Settled

In a letter to the public written under date of March 21, Dr. J. H. Kellogg, in behalf of the Sanitarium Board of Directors, announced that it had been definitely decided to rebuild the Sanitarium in Battle Creek. After expressing the hearty thanks of the managers for the warm sympathy shown by all the people of Battle Creek in the hour of their misfortune, and for the earnest efforts put forth by leading citizens to raise a substantial amount to assist in the rebuilding of the institution, and for the generous response to this call on the part of the citizens, Dr. Kellogg says:—
I am sure I am expressing the sentiment of every member of the board when I say that while the generous gift of money, amounting in all to about $30,000, is appreciated as an exceedingly valuable aid in this time of loss and disaster, we appreciate and esteem still more highly the expressions of kindly sympathy and confidence which have been made in public and private by citizens of every rank. . . . The warm sentiments expressed have deeply touched us, and have made us understand and feel that the citizens of Battle Creek are not behind those of any other community in appreciation or in sense of justice, and have convinced us that the interests of the world-wide work which centers in the Battle Creek Sanitarium may be trusted to the residents of this city as well as to those of any other place on the face of the globe. Under these circumstances the management feel that there remains no just reason for removing the institution, or any part of it, from the city, and that they must sturdily take hold of the work of clearing away the ashes of the old building and erecting upon this spot, rendered dear and sacred by more than a third of a century’s experiences and memories, the noblest temple of health and healing that the sun ever shone upon, and which shall be constructed of such material as to be indestructible by the natural elements, and which shall be equipped with every modern method and appliance for the conservation of health and the healing of the sick.
It may be proper to state that in addition to the amount subscribed by the other citizens of Battle Creek, and as one factor in the settlement of the place of rebuilding, the members of the Battle Creek church and other residents of the West End have subscribed $42,000. It will thus be seen that in addition to the insurance, $154,000, the Sanitarium managers are assured of over $72,000 with which to meet the expense of rebuilding.
On Saturday evening, March 22, a public meeting of the contributors was held, at which plans for the new building submitted by the different architects were exhibited, and a consensus of opinion asked for upon their merits. The work of rebuilding will begin at once, and will be pushed with all the dispatch which is consistent with thorough work.

The Crime of Teaching Anarchy

A BILL which makes the teaching of anarchy a crime to be punished by law, has been favorably reported in the New York State senate. The significance of this proposed step is measured by the probabilities as to what may be meant by “teaching anarchy.” “Anarchy” has become quite a comprehensive term. The doctrine of non-resistance, as expounded by Tolstoi, is anarchy, from the Russian point of view. The doctrine that government by force is wrong, is anarchy according to accepted theories of civil government. The doctrine that the seventh day is the Sabbath, and that Sunday laws are wrong, is anarchy from the standpoint of those who want such laws enforced. When the mere “teaching of anarchy” is made a crime, the machinery of civil law will become a weapon to be used by the politically strong against the politically weak, and for purposes other than those which conserve good government and the public welfare.
THE Literary Digest states that “a system of circulating libraries that promises much for the educational development of the South has recently been organized in Georgia, under the name of the ‘Andrew Carnegie Free Traveling-Libraries.’ The plan has secured not only the interest of Mr. Carnegie, but also the co-operation of a great Southern railway, the Seaboard Air Line, which gives free transportation to the libraries over its lines, extending through Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. These libraries are intended principally for the small towns and stations. This library system proves to be one of the most effective and powerful of educational agencies. The material and measurable benefits are singular and unmistakable.”

Appeal for the April Life Boat

NOTE the statement and appeal from Dr. Paulson on page nine, concerning the April number of the Life Boat. Perhaps you would like to send him a dollar or more.

Missionary Acre Movement Reading

A READING relating to the Missionary Acre Movement will be sent to all the churches in the United States for use on Sabbath, April 5. Do not overlook this in planning for the services on that day.

Collection for the Haskell and James White Homes

SABBATH, April 5, is the time for the regular collection in behalf of the Haskell and James White Homes. These worthy institutions should not be forgotten among the many calls for help just now. Read the statement of their needs on page eleven, and make as liberal an offering for this work as your circumstances will permit.

Making the Sabbath-School Lesson the Day’s Theme

WOULD it not be a profitable programme for the majority of our churches if they should make the Sabbath-school lesson the subject for the services of the day? There is sufficient material in each lesson to occupy more time than is usually given to the Sabbath-school, and more benefit can be derived by centering the attention upon one good theme than by attempting to grasp two or more at the same session. We know of churches where the plan here suggested has been adopted with satisfactory results. There was an increased interest in both the Sabbath-school and the service following. We commend it to the serious consideration of church and Sabbath-school officers.

Applying Sound Principles to Bible Study

By Editor

THE sound principles set forth in the article on the first page of this issue should be applied by each one of us in his own experience with the Bible. It is just as important for us to accept all the truth which is revealed to us in the Bible as for others to do so, and it is just as wrong for us to hold to views of the Scripture which have been shown to be contrary to the truth as it is for others to do so. In studying the Scriptures, we should not ask, “What have we usually been taught on this subject?” but, “What is the truth?” With this attitude toward the Bible, we may expect new revelations of truth to be made constantly; and if what we have learned in the past is the truth, these new revelations will be the old truths in a fuller and more glorious unfolding.

A Council Meeting

SEVERAL brethren from different parts of the field were in Battle Creek last week, in response to a call for a council to consider various questions relating to the rebuilding of the Sanitarium. In addition to the Sanitarium Board of Managers and other local brethren there were present at different times during the council Brethren H. W. Cottrell, the President of the Eastern Union Conference; C. W. Flaiz, the President of the Northwestern Union Conference; C. McReynolds, the President of the Southwestern Union Conference; Allen Moon, the President of the Illinois Conference; and E. E. Miles, the General Canvassing Agent of the Eastern Union Conference. Brethren A. G. Daniells and E. R. Palmer arrived from the Pacific coast just in time to participate in the meetings of the council.
Among the principal questions considered were the following: Shall the Sanitarium be rebuilt in Battle Creek? How much money shall be invested in the new plant? Which one of the various plans submitted by the architects shall be adopted? What methods of raising the necessary funds shall be adopted so that the present indebtedness shall not be increased by rebuilding? What arrangements shall be made so that a good number of the workers, whose services will not be required during the time of rebuilding, may be profitably assigned to field work? It will be seen at once that these are important questions, and that each one demanded serious study.
It will not be possible in our limited space to give more than a brief statement of the results of the council. In view of the attitude of the people of Battle Creek toward the Sanitarium and its work, as set forth in another article in this issue, the council advised that the new building should be erected in this city. It was recommended that the East Hall, formerly occupied as a nurses’ dormitory, should hereafter be used for patients, and that only one building be built in place of the two which were burned; and that this building should be five stories in height, not to exceed 450 feet in length, and that it should be constructed of stone, brick, marble, iron, steel, and cement. The only wood will be in the doors, window frames, and the furniture. Plans for raising the balance of the money needed for rebuilding, and for the employment of nurses and physicians in field work, were considered at length, but they will require further study and development before anything definite can be announced.
The spirit which pervaded the council was one of cordial sympathy with the Sanitarium and its work, and of readiness to co-operate most heartily in the effort to provide the necessary facilities that its work may be continued.

The Advocate

By William Ambrose Spicer

THE steady growth of the Advocate list shows that the merging of the Sabbath-school Worker and the Advocate of Christian Education has met with hearty favor generally. Several hundred extra copies of the January and February numbers were printed, but these are now out of stock. Subscriptions must begin with the current number. The Sabbath-school Department specially urges schools to renew the clubs before the date of expiration, so that we may not need to print a large number of extra copies for the purpose of filling orders for back numbers. Sabbath-school workers will find all of the Advocate of interest. The inspiration of the teaching idea in Christian education will help every teacher in the Sabbath-schools.
W. A. SPICER, Chairman Sabbath-School Dept.

The Lake Union Conference

By Arthur G. Daniells

The presidents of the Conferences in the Lake Union Conference write that the ministers and people are so busy in the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” that they do not see how they can leave their fields to spend ten days in conference. They request that the session of the forthcoming Lake Union Conference to be held in Chicago, be shortened to one week, so that the delegates will not be obliged to be absent from their work more than one Sabbath. This has been agreed to by the committee, and word has been sent to the Conferences that the session will open Thursday night, March 27, and close Thursday, April 3. The business of the Conference is in good shape, and can be properly disposed of in the time specified above. We are planning to make this the occasion of setting forth in the clearest terms the various lines of reorganization called for at this time. This meeting should mark an epoch in our work. To this end we solicit the prayers of God’s people. A. G. DANIELLS
