Thirty-five years ago she heard and accepted the views of Seventh-day Adventists, and remained faithful till death. The Muir and Lyons church will miss her faithful attendance, as she was always present to take her part in the Sabbath service. She rests in hope. E. Van Deursen.

Tamminga.—John Tamminga was born in Germany in 1840, and died at his home near Plainfield, Wis., April 8, 1911, aged 70 years, 4 months, and 5 days. In 1868 he came to America, and settled in Freeport, Ill., where he lived for ten years, when he moved to his present home near Plainfield. Twenty-five years ago he and his wife accepted present truth, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which he was a faithful member until death. He died in full faith of having a part in the first resurrection. His companion and ten children are left to mourn. Funeral services were conducted by the writer in the Plainfield Seventh-day Adventist church. F. F. Petersen.

Hill.—Marie Hill was born Feb. 14, 1895, and fell asleep at her home in Erie, Pa., April 16, 1911, aged 16 years, 2 months, and 2 days. Marie was religiously inclined all her life, was raised in the faith of the soon-coming Master and the true Sabbath, and closed her eyes for her last sleep with the positive assurance of awakening to behold her Saviour coming to claim his own. She was a comfort to her mother and father, and an encouragement to her two brothers, all of whom will greatly miss her. Her Christian influence was also felt by her school companions and all her associates. She was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery at Erie, and there awaits the call of him whom she loved to serve in this life. Words of consolation were spoken by the writer at the funeral service. I. G. Bigelow.

Jensen.—Gussie Jensen was born in Lexington, Tex., April 25, 1888, and died at Austin, Tex., April 12, 1911, thus lacking only thirteen days of being twenty-three years old. Early in life she was converted, and later she united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, remaining a faithful member until her death. Her sickness, which was of several years’ duration, was borne with patience. From day to day she manifested a true Christian spirit, thus pointing others to the Saviour. Her father, a brother, and three sisters are left to mourn. Funeral services were conducted in Austin, also in Lexington, where she was taken for burial. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. E. L. Neff.

Messer.—Died at the home of her parents, near Toppenish, Wash., April 11, 1911, Iva I. Messer, aged twenty-three years and eleven days. Iva was born at Frazee, Minn. When twelve years of age, she accompanied her parents to Groto, S. D. Two years later she was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Webster. After coming to Washington, she united with the Granger church. Iva will be greatly missed in the family circle and by her friends and relatives. Her parents, two brothers, and five sisters are left to mourn, but we believe our loved one sleeps in Jesus. Funeral services were held in the Springdale M. E. church, Rev. Spaulding officiating. Pearl V. Messer.

F. Wheeler sixty-two years ago the thirteenth of last May, and accepted the truth thirty-five years ago. About twenty-four years ago she came to Oregon locating in this vicinity, where she remained until the time of her death. She leaves four sons, two daughters, and other relatives, also many friends, to mourn; but they are comforted by the thought that when the Life-giver shall come, she will hear the glad words, “Come, be blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you.” Kathleen M. Black. (Atlantic Union Gleaner, please copy.)

Jacobs.—Luther A. Jacobs, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Jacobs, was born in Dubois County, near Jasper, Ind., May 27, 1888, and died at Princeton, Ind., March 22, 1911, aged 22 years, 9 months, and 23 days. He united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Mount Zion, Ind., at the age of fifteen, and remained a faithful member until his death. He was a kind and obedient boy, and was loved and respected by all who knew him. He leaves a father, mother, one brother, and two sisters, besides other relatives and friends, to mourn. He was laid to rest in the Princeton cemetery, to await the call of the Life-giver. Funeral services were conducted by C. C. Edwards, pastor of the First M. E. church of Princeton, Ind. R. E. B.

Baker.—Stella Antoinette Baker was born at Ashtabula, Ohio, Oct. 6, 1852. While still a child, she moved with her parents to Iowa. There, in 1870, she was married to Alonzo J. Baker. With her husband she came to California, heard Elder Loughborough preach the advent message in 1872, and was convinced that this message was present-day truth. Mr. and Mrs. Baker returned to Iowa, whence, a few years later, they moved to Colorado. In 1900 she returned to California, and lived at Healdsburg until her death, which occurred April 8, 1911. During the last two years of her life she was practically helpless, yet her patience, cheerfulness, and trust in her Heavenly Father were constant and complete. While the family lived in Colorado, she and her aged mother and her eldest daughter were baptized, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The husband and four children survive her. Sister Baker was laid to rest in Oak Mound Cemetery, at Healdsburg, April 9. Words of hope and comfort were spoken from 1 John 5:11, 12. George W. Rine.

The Prophetic Gift

WE begin in this number an interesting series of articles from Elder J. O. Corliss, on the “Prophetic Gift.” Brother Corliss deals with some phases of this question not usually studied. We bespeak for this series a careful perusal.

North Pacific Camp-Meeting Season Opens

The camp-meeting season opens today in the North Pacific Union Conference. It is expected that Elder W. A. Westworth, from China, will be able to attend the meetings in this union, and also Elder A. J. Haysmer, secretary of the North American Negro Department.

Special Bible Number

THE Signs of the Times, weekly, will issue soon a special Bible number. Every reader of the REVIEW should have a copy of this valuable number for personal study and reference. It will be found particularly valuable, also, for presentation or sale to friends and neighbors. Read a description of this number on page 22.

Missionaries in Foreign Lands

OUR missionaries in foreign lands recognize that they must make the most of the meager facilities which they have at hand in the promotion of the work. While they must of necessity depend upon help supplied them from the home field, they also seek to develop every possible resource on the mission field. This spirit on their part should lead those at home to co-operate all the more earnestly with them in their efforts to advance the gospel. Read what Elder J. S. James says regarding this on page 8.

Lake to Lead Japan Publishing Work

We are glad to greet in Washington Brother C. N. Lake and wife, of California, who are visiting friends in the East, preparatory to leaving for Japan, where Brother Lake is to take charge of our Japan Mission publishing work.

Temperance Sunday

By Editor

Sunday, May 21, has been set apart by several denominations for the further promotion of the temperance cause. On that day, church services will be held in the special interest of temperance. The day has been named “Temperance Sunday.” Our people should make good use of this favorable opening for the sale of the Temperance Instructor.

Adventist Workers Return to Singapore

We are glad to hear of the return to Singapore of Elder G. F. Jones, who a year or more ago was compelled by ill health to go to West Australia. He is so far improved that he is able to join in the work again. We hear also of the safe arrival in Singapore of Elder R. P. Montgomery and wife, who went out from the Foreign Mission Seminary in February.

Changes in Religious Liberty Department

ON request from the Review and Herald Board, the General Conference Committee has released Brother C. M. Snow from the assistant secretaryship of the Religious Liberty Department, to give his time wholly to editorial work. The committee has invited Elder S. B. Horton, religious liberty secretary of the Atlantic Union, to act as assistant secretary in the general department. Elder Horton is now in Washington.

Seven Tent Efforts in New Jersey

The president of the New Jersey Conference, Elder B. F. Kneeland, writes: “The Philadelphia institute stirred us up to greater endeavor, and we are planning seven tent efforts this summer,—three in English, one for the Germans, one Holland, one Bohemian, and one Swedish. It seems almost more than we can carry through with our resources; but the Lord has opened the way wonderfully thus far, and we will continue in faith.

General Conference Leaders Sail for Europe

Last week Elders A. G. Daniells, G. B. Thompson, E. R. Palmer, and H. R. Salisbury, of the General Conference office, sailed for Europe to attend meetings and institutes in the Scandinavian, British, and possibly German unions, before the biennial council of the General Conference Committee in July. It is expected that Elder Palmer will remain for the autumn European camp-meetings, but that the other brethren will return to America immediately after the July council.

Insurance Covers Fire and Water Damage

By Editor

We are glad to report that the damage through fire and water in the recent experience of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, has been fully met by the insurance companies, which have shown commendable promptness and fairness in the adjustment of the claims. The damage to the building amounted to $4,574.40, and to stock $8,181.89, a total of $12,756.29. The work of the institution is going steadily forward without interruption. All are grateful for the outcome of the experience, seeing in this an evidence of God's kindly care for his work.

General Conference Labor Recommendations and City Work Resolutions

The recommendations of the General Conference Committee in the distribution of laborers, also the resolutions on city work adopted at the Philadelphia Institute, as printed in this number, will be read with interest by all.

Revival Awakens New York Churches

IN a recent letter to Elder A. G. Daniells, Elder R. D. Quinn says of the work in New York City:—

“Last Sabbath was a great day for our churches in this city. Our brethren readily responded to the message and the spirit of courage and victory that the workers brought to them from Philadelphia. I spoke at the Bronx Church, and, after a splendid social meeting following, the members voted to have a week or ten days’ revival meeting. On Sunday we had our regular workers’ meeting, and we could hardly close it. It seemed to be a continuation of the meeting in Philadelphia. A new life and power have taken hold of us. I feel sure that the institute in Philadelphia will prove to be of inestimable value to us all. I am glad this splendid meeting came just before you brethren start for Europe, and just as our summer work and camp-meetings are opening in this country. We were certainly all mightily anointed for service; and my constant prayer is that we may bring this experience to all our people as we have opportunity to meet with them.”

New Departments at the Publishing Association

By Editor

WE are connected with a growing work. We see abundant evidence of this in the continual demand for means and laborers to provide for its advancement in the home land and in foreign fields. Slowly sometimes, but nevertheless surely, is the message of truth advancing. This is particularly noticeable in the great gains which have been made in the distribution of our publications. This circulation requires an increase of workers in the field; it necessitates also increased workers in the office of publication. At one time the Review and Herald Publishing Association was issuing but one journal, the REVIEW AND HERALD. It is now printing regularly seven journals. This increased number of periodicals, together with the growing volume of business from year to year, has made necessary the creation of two departments, instead of one, with a manager in charge of each department. In one department has been placed the REVIEW AND HERALD, the Youth's Instructor, the Sabbath School Worker, and Christian Education. This department will be known hereafter as the Periodical Department, and will be in charge of D. W. Reavis, who for years has done efficient service in charge of the combined circulation of the journals. Our three magazines, Life and Health, Liberty, and the Protestant Magazine, have been grouped together in another department, known as the Magazine Department. For the promotion of these journals the association has been fortunate in securing the services of Brother A. J. S. Bourdeau, who has been released by the General Conference to take up this work. We believe that this arrangement will better serve the growing demands of the work, and that the work will abundantly bless the valuable experience of these brethren in the circulation of these truth-giving journals.
