“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”3 John 2.
WITH a large portion of the people, the Bible is the highest and safest authority in all matters of truth and duty. Prove to Christian men and women, who fear God and tremble at his word, that existing reformatory movements are in strict harmony with the teachings of the Sacred Scriptures, and they will no longer regard the subject as unworthy of their notice. But the very general impression that the restrictions of the hygienic practice are not sustained by the word of God, has placed many sincere Christians where it is difficult to reach them with the subject.
And it is a painful fact that the vain philosophy, driveling skepticism, and the extremes of some who have been connected with the health reform movement, have done much to prejudice sincere persons against the trué philosophy of health. But those who revere God and his holy word can be reached with the plain declarations of the scriptures of the Old and the New Testament. We promise to make it appear that the Bible does not justify Christians in many of the common and fashionable habits of our time, which sustain a close relation to life and health, but that it does demand of them changes from these wrong habits. If we succeed in doing this, it will be considered, by all Bible Christians, that it is highly proper that the attention of the Christian public should be called to the subject from the Bible stand-point.
And when we come to the matter of experience, the cause of health reform has difficulties to overcome. But these are generally the result of ignorance of the real facts in the case. As an illustration, the objector will sometimes point to feeble persons, who may be advocates of reform in habits of life, as representing the results of changing from common habits. In this they do our cause great injustice, as ninety-nine in one hundred of these persons, in consequence of wrong habits of life, became incurable invalids before they adopted the reform. Had they continued violating the laws of life and health, they would long since have been in their graves. And the reason why there is a considerable number of this class, is, first, because but very few persons feel the necessity of change until they have lost vitality that they never can recover; and, secondly, because the temperate habits of the reform are so in harmony with natural law that these invalids who adopt them linger upon the mortal shore nearly a lifetime. Hence, to point to these as representatives of the health reform is doing the cause we advocate great injustice.
These feeble persons had made themselves hopelessly such by wrong habits of life, and then, in accordance with popular custom, they submitted themselves to the poisonous processes of drug-taking, and when the last ray of hope of recovery in that direction was gone, and they were ready to drop into the grave, they were induced to adopt hygienic habits, the beneficial effects of which are prolonging their existence in a condition of comparative freedom from pain, and the enjoyment of a good degree of happiness. In view of the real facts in the case we point to these very persons as showing the value of the reform.
But we are happy to state that there are thousands of men and women within our personal knowledge, who, in comfortable health, adopted the principles of Christian temperance, and are now reaping the beneficial results. These have abandoned tobacco, tea, coffee, drugs, flesh-meats, and the third meal, and now, without a dissenting voice, report greatly improved health. Most of these are hard-working people, and report that they can do more work, and with far greater ease, than before they made these changes.
Now, in order to put this matter fairly to the test, we invite the objector to point to a single person who adopted these changes in the strength of manhood or womanhood, and who has run down in strength and health, and become feeble, while pursuing in all respects a temperate and consistent course. Here let the matter be fairly tested. When one such person can be found, then we will examine the matter more closely.
The world is moving. The spirit of investigation is out. The old foundations of error and superstition are being broken up. Let the world march along, notwithstanding it may not travel just as we may have marked out. We need not say that he who would stop the wheels of reform because they do not exactly track his hand cart is a bigot. This spirit was ruling, and ruining the influence of the disciples of Christ, until the Master taught them better. One of them said, “Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against us is for us.”
While we would be true to the pure principles of health reform, and would ever hold them before the people as important, both to this life, and to that which is to come, we hope to be so far liberal in our views and feelings as to give those who are reforming credit for what changes they are making, and sustain such friendly relations to them as to cheer them on in the good work.
A quarter of a century since, in the ardor and inexperience of younger days, we sometimes detected in our efforts in dealing with minds an inclination to the old mental cramming system. We mean, by this, simply the barbarous practice of crowding our theories and views upon minds, that may be as independent as our own, in a style to impress sensible people with the idea that we are narrow and overbearing. This course raises the combativeness of men of taste and good sense, and prejudices the very persons who, otherwise, might be reached, and might become ornaments to any reformatory movement. This course will gather minds, many of whom may unfortunately be of the same stamp of their teachers; or of that lower grade that will be quite as well pleased with the plan of mental stuffing as to take the trouble of thinking and deciding for themselves.
The mind of every true convert must travel over every foot of ground on the highway of reformation until it shall reach the very summit of reform. It is our duty as reformers to deal in principles, in the spirit of true Christian courtesy; or, at least, with the spirit of real philanthropy. We can let the true light shine out to the world by precept and by example. This, well done, our duty is done. J. W.
New Ecclesiastical Bill in Germany.
BERLIN, March 16.—In the Lower House of the Prussian Diet to-day the debate was opened on the first reading of the new Ecclesiastical bill. Dr. Falk, Minister Public Worship, in a speech explaining the necessity for fresh legislation on the relations of the State with the Church, dwelt especially on the fact that the Pope had authorized an Austrian bishop to obey laws similar to those which he denounced in Prussia. The State was not afraid of the encyclical, but considered the matter serious, and would not permit itself to be treated with scorn by the Church. Bismarck made a powerful speech in support of the bill. He said the maxim that more obedience was due to God than to man certainly did not mean that more obedience was due to a Pope misguided by Jesuits than to a King. The Government was doing its duty in protecting German freedom of mind against Rome. The House endorsed the bill in full sitting instead of referring it to a committee.
Prosperity’s Test of Christian Character
There is no test to the Christian character so severe as prosperity. Through its means many fall who would have stood proof against all the direct assaults of Satan.
The Hygienic Platform.
1. OBEDIENCE to the laws of life and health is a moral obligation.
2. Mental, moral, and physical health can only be maintained by the observance of mental, moral, and physical laws.
3. A healthy body is essential to perfect soundness of mind.
4. Physical health promotes morality.
5. Morality, likewise, promotes physical health.
6. In the treatment of disease the simplest and safest remedies are the proper curative agents.
7. Nature is the most efficient physician.
We may further add, for the benefit of those who are entirely unacquainted with the tenets of hygienists, that in enforcing the principles enunciated above we advocate:—
1. Total abstinence from the use of all stimulating beverages, including tea, coffee, and chocolate, as well as alcoholic liquors.
2. That tobacco-using is a filthy habit, ruinous to both body and mind, and a disgrace to civilization.
3. That animal food is not the proper food for man, as indicated by his anatomical and physiological characteristics, while fruits and farinaceous foods are the best adapted to his wants, as proved by science and experience.
4. That simplicity in diet is one of the most important means of preserving health.
5. That improper dress is a prolific source of many of the diseases from which women and children suffer.—Health Reformer.

-As late as March they were speculating about the danger to Port Jervis, Md., from the ice gorge above the city.
-A heavy and destructive flood has recently occurred in the Susquehanna, Pa.
March 16, a young man was before the Court in San Francisco on a charge of attempt to commit suicide! The Prosecuting Attorney endeavored to sustain an action for murder, as he attempted to take life. The judge would not entertain it, but he was convicted of discharging fire-arms within the city limits.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, March 14.—To-morrow the police will commence taking the census of all children here between eight and fourteen years. This is done at the request of the Board of Education, and in compliance with the provisions of an Act known as the Compulsory Education Act.
HEAVY HAIL STORM IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March 14.—A heavy lightning and hail storm prevailed here this evening. Hailstones an inch in diameter fell. No casualties are yet heard of. It is now raining.
DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO
NEW YORK, March 16.—A letter from Guadalajara gives an account of an earthquake which, on the 11th of February, shook a large portion of northern Mexico. The little town of San Christobal was almost entirely destroyed, and seventy dead bodies were taken from the ruins. The center of the disturbance appears to be in the volcano of Ceboruco. The earthquake occurred at night, and the terror of the people was increased by the darkness.
—The United States government has taken in hand the matter of the recent massacre in Acapulco, Mexico. The Mexican authorities have promised to thoroughly investigate the matter, with a view of doing justice to the perpetrators of the outrages against our citizens. In the meantime the Secretary of the Navy has sent the Saranac to Acapulco, as it is supposed the presence of a man-of-war will greatly facilitate the investigation.
—A fire in Atlanta, Ga., March 16, burned a number of stores. Loss, $130,000.
TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY BY THE ICE GORGE AT PORT JERVIS.
PORT JERVIS, March 17.—The Delaware River broke up here this morning. The water rushed down with tremendous velocity, reaching Port Jervis before 7 o'clock. The river bridge at Saw Mill Rift, three miles west of Port Jervis, was carried away at 7:40 A. M. The greatest excitement prevails here. The lower part of the village is being hurriedly deserted by every family. The ice is as high as the bridge at the foot of Pike street, but has not yet moved despite the hopes of the citizens and the blasting done. Water flooded the entire lower part of the village below the railroad track, and at King street was over four feet deep running with fearful velocity. A number of small buildings and out-houses were overturned by the water backing up the street. Cellars flooded, and in some houses the water was above the second story. At 8:45 A. M., the dam gave way, and the whole mass of ice is moving slowly. The iron bridge was swept away. It cost $100,000.
MORE BRIDGES SWEPT AWAY.
Barrett bridge was swept away at 9 A. M. Saw Mill Rift bridge was swept away, and the foundation fell with a terrible crash. It was 650 feet long, and three years ago cost $60,000. The loss is a public calamity. The scene at Germantown, the lower part of this city, beggars description. The ice is piled on the shore in many places thirty feet high, and in pieces weighing thirty tons. About twenty small houses and some shanties have been torn to pieces, and about 200 houses filled with water to the second story. It is reported that one man was killed. Four of the five spans—in all 622 feet—of the Delaware Railroad bridge are gone. The debris of the railroad and Barrett bridges caught fast on Van Mays Island, three miles below there, saving the tower of the suspension bridge. The damage to the Barrett Bridge Company is about $15,000, and other losses in the village about $20,000. About twenty-five small buildings nearest the river in Port Jervis are totally wrecked.
THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE SUCCUMBS.
NEW YORK, March 18.—A Port Jervis special says that the Suspension Bridge is carried away; also four houses near Carpenter's Point. All the machine shops are inundated eight feet deep, and one man is known to be drowned. The ice is passing at the rate of twelve miles per hour. All trains are stopped. The telegraph poles were carried away at Mulford.
THE ICE FLOODS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
WILKESBARRE, Penn., March 17.—The ice remains stationary at this place, and there has been no perceptible fall of water since noon. The gas works have a depth of seven feet of water in them, and the whole city is in darkness, candles and lamps furnishing the only light. Travel has been stopped between here and Kingston since last night, the flats being submerged, and it being considered unsafe to cross the bridge. The three bridges which were swept away from Pittston are jammed in the gorge three miles above here. At Mattioke, eight miles below here, the ice began to move to-day, and the river was cleared for a mile above that point, but from there to the Island gorge and at Wilkesbarre it is solid. The weather has been growing colder, and everything will be frozen solid to-night. The ice gorge at Hooper, eight miles west of Binghamton, is four miles long and thirty feet high. The valley is overflowed and the bridge at Union is in great danger. The gorge at Great Bend is threatening the bridge there.
LATER—10:30 P. M.—The river is still stationary, and the weather growing colder.

OAKLAND, CAL., FIFTH-DAY, MARCH 25, 1875.
WE were happy to meet at our door in the evening of the 21st our esteemed brethren from Michigan, O. B. Jones, his son, and his brother Charles Jones. They are builders. Bro. O. B. Jones built our three publishing buildings at Battle Creek, and in 1874 put up our College building in that city. They have come to this State at the call of our Committee, by telegram to build our publishing house in this city.
Conversions at Petaluma
By Editor
THERE are several conversions under the labors of Elder Canright at Petaluma, and a great work might be done in that place with the full co-operation of all the members of the church there. It is the duty of our preachers to labor where they can accomplish most. Churches should not urge them to labor in their localities until the members are ready to labor unitedly and actively with them.
Church Cooperation in Woodland
By Editor
Elder Waggoner filled our appointment at Woodland the 19th and 20th. And as he remains to give a series of discourses in that city, the church should be prompt to sustain the meetings with their presence, and should labor from house to house, converse with, and pray with their friends and neighbors, and bring them out to hear the word of God. With such co-operation our ministers can labor to advantage with our churches. Without it, they will spend their time to less profit than in new fields. Since the above was penned we learn that Bro. W. has a crowded house, and good attention.
Regular Preaching in Oakland and San Francisco
By Editor
Oakland and San Francisco are important points, and there should be regular speaking at both places on Sabbath morning, and Sunday evening. But this should not be expected by these churches without some special efforts and arrangements by them. There should be no more preaching in either place than all our people can afford to attend under ordinary circumstances, and when there is preaching there should be a general attendance.
Circulation of The Signs of the Times
By Editor
Elder James White and his wife design to be at the State quarterly meeting at Napa, April 3d and 4th. They hope to see a good attendance, and a good interest on the part of the tract and missionary workers to immediately take measures for a better and wider circulation of THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. Each number of the paper is designed to be just what our people on the Pacific Coast will be pleased to circulate. The Signs will be furnished, post paid, for $4.00 per 100 copies. An edition of 10,000 copies should be published each week.
Mrs. Loughborough Seriously Ill
By Editor
We learn from Bro. W. M. Healey, who passed through St. Helena the 21st on his return from Lake County, that the worthy wife of Eld. J. N. Loughborough is very low of pulmonary consumption. Bro. Healey was told by Elder L. that her death might occur very soon. May her passage down the dark valley be peaceful, and may our dear brother and fellow-laborer be sustained under the heavy stroke that must soon fall upon him.
Nebraska Grasshopper Relief Frauds
The San Francisco Chronicle gives as an item of Eastern News, that "there is abundant testimony that the suffering in Nebraska by grasshoppers has been greatly exaggerated and the appeals for relief in a large measure are impositions. The Omaha Herald and other journals have exposed the movement, repeatedly showing that public charity was simply enriching many whose crops were abundant."
Breech-Loaders and European Armies
Count Moltke believes that the introduction of breech-loaders has demoralized all the armies in Europe except the German and English. His view of the case seems to have relation to the fact that the rapid consumption of ammunition soon leaves the cartridge-boxes empty, and the troops of the two nations named are the only ones that can be kept quiet in such circumstances.
Garibaldi Accepts Parliamentary Nomination
General Garibaldi has accepted the nomination as candidate for Parliament from Rome, on condition that he is to attend only when he thinks his presence necessary.
Cyclone Deaths in Midnapore
The London Times correspondent at Bombay estimates that 2000 persons were killed in the town and district of Midnapore during the recent cyclone.
Disguised Infidelity.
As a hypocritical professor of religion is worse than though he made no profession, so infidelity, under a profession of faith in the word of God, is worse in its influence than an open rejection of that word. Avowed infidelity would be feared and avoided by many a mind that would listen to the insidious attacks upon revelation from one who professes to believe it.
To illustrate the idea I will say that I have lately heard, from a professed preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ, three lectures, in which he attempted to prove that Adam was not the first man of the human race, but that men had existed upon the earth hundreds of thousands of years before him, and that he was born of parents, as others are at the present day. He ridiculed the idea that "God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul; and that God took a rib from Adam, and of it made a woman, and brought her to the man. He did not believe any such absurdity. But did he not believe the book? Oh! yes; but all this was allegorical; it meant that man was then raised to a higher state of development than he had enjoyed during the previous hundreds of thousands of years of his existence. He thanked God for the book of Genesis; but if there was anything in it that conflicted with the sure light of geological science, it was no revelation to him—he did not believe it. He also thanked God for giving to the world such a man as Charles Darwin, a devout believer in God, who had done so much for the advancement of science among mankind. One would think from the encomium of the speaker that the man, who holds that man was evolved or developed from the monkey, was truly one of the greatest benefactors of mankind.
Most Christian readers will wonder that such infidelity should be held forth by a professed
Report from Lake County.
By William M. Healey
AFTER giving about fifteen lectures in the school-house at Lower Lake, Lake Co., Cal., commencing Feb. 6, we were deprived of the use of the house, as it was to be occupied by others for getting up a revival. We were obliged to omit lecturing for a few days, when we began again in a private house. Have given about forty discourses in the place and neighborhood. When I commenced there were only two Sabbath-keepers at Lower Lake. We now have a little company of fourteen who have decided to keep all the commandments of God. They are holding meetings every Sabbath. But most of them intend to move away in a short time.
A strong effort was made to prejudice the people against us, by telling them that we were teaching error, and they must not hear us for they would be led astray. We repeatedly invited any one to meet us before the public and show where we were wrong, but all declined doing so. "Truth is mighty," and sure to conquer.
One minister made an appointment to preach on the immortality of the soul. I asked for the house to reply, but was refused. I could have it before, but not after, his sermon. So I reviewed him the day before he preached. Next day he said they had decided not speak on the subject at present. The audience was disappointed and of course drew their own conclusion as to the reason for his not taking up the subject. I am now in Oakland to remain a few days.
March 23, 1875. WM. M. HEALEY.
The Remnant Church.
By Mrs. Rebekah Smith
To do God's will alone is safe,
On us he has a claim;
He'll have a people who believe
And practice all the same.
So says the prophet, here are they
Who God's commandments keep,
They'll have the faith of Jesus, and
A rich reward will reap.
From every nation, kindred, tongue,
They're being gathered out.
When Jesus comes, they all as one
Will glad deliverance shout,
Exclaiming, Lo, this God is ours,
We've waited for him long-
At loss of all things here, I would
Be one of that blest throng.
And is that great tremendous day
E'en now upon us here?
The word of God, and all the signs
Proclaim his coming near.
Our lamps we'll trim, and be prepared
To meet him in the air,
Then evermore be with the Lord,
And all his glory share.

The Bible’s Plain Meaning
By R. F. Cottrell
believer in the Bible and a preacher of salvation through Christ. But let me tell you that all who favor the mystical mode of interpreting the Scriptures are accomplices in this work of helping in the progress of infidelity, and are in a degree responsible for the prevailing and increasing skepticism of our times. The Bible is a revelation to mankind, or it is not. If it is, its plain statements of facts, its promises and its threatenings, are to be taken at par—they mean what they say. But if these things are to be allegorized, spiritualized, rationalized and mysticized, the Bible is not a revelation, but a riddle. All have an equal right to guess at its meaning; and, is a consequence, there may be as many creeds as there are persons. To make such a book a revelation, another one is necessary to tell us what this one means.
You may wonder that any one should allegorize the plain statements concerning the creation of man as described above, so as to deny that he was formed of dust, while we see him turning to dust again; but if you make the threatening of death, in case of man's disobedience, to mean eternal life in torment, or something besides what God defined it to be—a returning again to the dust out of which he was taken—you are in a like position, and are aiding in the work of destroying faith, and building up infidelity. And this remark applies to every interpretation which takes the license of setting aside a commandment of God, or an ordinance of the gospel.
The fault of factions and false doctrines is not in the Bible, but in this huge license of interpretation. This is the pillar and support of infidelity. If the Bible be thus assailed by its professed friends, what shall we not expect from its open enemies? R. F. COTTRELL.
