Obituaries.

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.
Trotman.—Died Sept. 16, 1900, near Traverse City, Mich., Brother John Trotman, aged 59 years. He had kept the truth for about twenty-eight years. It can be said of him, He sleeps in Jesus. Remarks at the funeral were made by the writer. Samuel Midgley.
Brown.—Fell asleep in Jesus, Nov. 16, 1900, at Louisville, Ky., my aunt, Sister S. M. Brown, aged 68 years. Her death was caused by a cancer. She accepted the truth seventeen years ago, and has ever been an earnest burden-bearer in the church. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder S. Osborn, from Ps. 116:15. Bettie C. Saxby.
Lawton.—Died at Brent Creek, Mich., Nov. 6, 1900, of gastric ulceration of the stomach, my wife, J. Annie Lawton, aged 55 years, 7 months, 6 days. She suffered much, but died trusting in Jesus. Words of comfort and hope were spoken from Rev. 14:13, the text having been chosen by the deceased. Elder L. G. Moore officiated. L. W. Lawton.
Brown.—Died Oct. 29, 1900, at her home in Ionia, Mich., Sister Mary Brown. She was for several years a sufferer with that dread disease, tuberculosis, but bore her sickness patiently, her hope being firmly fixed on the Lord. The funeral was conducted by the writer. Remarks were made from Ps. 17:15, by special request of the deceased. W. R. Matthews.
Webber.—Died at Moose Lake, Minn., Nov. 6, 1900, of dropsy and heart trouble, Brother George A. Webber, aged 74 years and nearly 4 months. Only last spring he accepted Christ as his personal Saviour. The erection of the family altar was one of his first acts of confiding faith. Words of comfort were spoken from John 11:23-26, by the writer. H. F. Phelps.
Kloss.—Died near Lockesburg, Ark., Nov. 15, 1900, our mother, Mrs. Sophia Kloss, aged 75 years. She had been afflicted for years, and bore her suffering patiently. She accepted present truth many years ago, and was faithful to the end. We expect to meet her in the first resurrection. Elder Presson (Methodist) conducted the funeral services, using the ninetieth Psalm. E. and M. Kloss.
Dexter.—Lizzie C. Dexter, wife of the writer, was born near Milan, Erie Co., Ohio, March 12, 1854; and died in Battle Creek, Mich., Nov. 22, 1900. She was an earnest and consistent Christian, and a faithful and devoted wife and mother. During her last hours she frequently expressed her confidence in the Lord, and her earnest hope in the resurrection “to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away.” E. P. Dexter.
Brown.—Died at Louisville, Ky., Nov. 18, 1900, my uncle, Gideon Brown, aged 67 years. He was among the first to accept the truth in Kentucky. He had been very successful as a canvasser for our publications. For the last two years and a half, although partially blind, he had faithfully given his entire time to selling the Signs of the Times. Last fall he sold one thousand copies of the Harvest Number. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder S. Osborn. Bettie C. Saxby.
Harvey.—Fell asleep in Jesus, Nov. 29, 1900, at Ayers Flat, Quebec, Sister Mary A. Harvey, aged 70 years, 5 months, 16 days. Sister Harvey became interested in the Third Angel’s Message at Stevens Point, Wis., in 1878, uniting with the Seventh-day Adventist church at that place. Finally she returned to Quebec, and united with the church at Fitch Bay, in 1895, remaining a true and faithful member and firm believer in the message until her death. The closing testimony of her life was, “All is peace.” Funeral services were conducted by the writer. H. E. Rickard.

Christ's Object Lessons

BY ELLEN G. WHITE.
In this volume the author brings clearly to view the life and character and the parable teaching of Christ, the Creator of nature. Illustrating his sermons from the scenes in nature, thus leading from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ's parables make a link in the chain of truth which unites God with man, and earth with heaven. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home, nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. As soon as the holy pair transgressed the law of the Most High, the brightness from the face of God departed from the face of nature. Yet even in its blighted state, rightly understood, nature speaks of her Creator.
In the days of Christ men had well-nigh ceased to discern God in his works, and they worshiped and served the created more than the Creator. Christ, by his teaching, sought to remove the veil that sin had cast over the face of nature, which obstructed the truth.
Parable teaching was popular in the days of the Saviour, and commanded the respect and attention not only of the Jews, but of the people of other nations. Thus the Saviour taught the multitudes who flocked to hear him daily. No more effective method of instruction could be employed than that used by the Saviour in illustrating divine truths. Scenes of nature, rightly understood, speak of our Creator as much to-day as they did nineteen hundred years ago.

The Independent Wants Catholic States in America

The Independent says that it “would like to see one or two Catholic States” in the United States. Beyond question the Independent is fast becoming one of the most helpful papers to the Catholic Church.

Germany Secures Right to Build Bosporus Railway Bridge

IN pushing her enterprises in Turkey, Germany has secured the right to build a railway bridge across the Bosporus, at Constantinople. The plans are finished, and work on the bridge is about to begin.

China's Only Hope: A Viceroy's Book Discussed

A CHINESE viceroy has written, and the papers are discussing, a book entitled “China’s Only Hope.” There is really no such thing as China’s only hope. China has no hope at all. The Powers have her in their hands forever: precisely as Turkey.

China's Envoys Notify Powers of Agreement

The latest phase of the China tangle is that China’s envoys had notified the Powers that China had agreed to the demands of the Powers; and that they asked for a meeting at which, as representatives of the emperor, they might sign the terms dictated.

New York Times on Western Injury in China

THE New York Times, January 2, says that “Christendom, the Western world, modern civilization, by whatever name we call the thing we all belong to, has far more deeply injured itself in China by its own procedures than it was injured, or could possibly have been injured, by the procedures of the Chinese.”

Mark Twain's Salutation to the Twentieth Century

BEING solicited for a new century greeting for a special occasion, Mark Twain wrote the following “salutation speech from the nineteenth to the twentieth century,” which is not by any means mere sentiment, nor only humor:—
I bring you the stately maiden named Christendom, returning bedraggled, besmirched, and dishonored from pirate raids in Kiaochow, Manchuria, South Africa, and the Philippines, with her soul full of meanness, her pocket full of boodle, and her mouth full of pious hypocrisies. Give her soap and a towel, but hide the looking-glass.

China Entanglement of the World Powers

THE Chicago Times-Herald says: “If China has disgraced herself during the year just closed, so has civilization. And when civilization comes to making up its account with China’s four hundred millions, it will discover that the year is only the beginning, not the end. It has done much to create a Chinese nationality.” The China entanglement of the world-Powers is firmly fixed, and will not grow less. “The Marshaling of the Nations” is still present truth, and will remain so. Spread it everywhere. Price, only ten cents. Address Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.; or Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.

Easy Steps in the Bible Story for Children

THAT best of all Bible-books for the children—“Easy Steps, in the Bible Story”—gains the unqualified approval of the children themselves. And that is the best possible testimonial in its favor. They are glad to read it more than once. And the book will bear reading more than once: that is its strength. Have your children had an opportunity to read it even once? If not, then do not wait any longer. The price is only twenty-five cents in nice paper cover; fifty cents in cloth. Address Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.; or Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.

Comments on the Training School Advocate

The latest number of the Training School Advocate is especially good. “A Parallel” on hazing is strongly suggestive. In a selected article on “Spelling” one ignorant and therefore bad sentence was overlooked in the editing, and so is given further currency; that is, “We need to spell, only that we may write.” The truth is that we need to spell in order that we may read. Whoever spells “only that he may write,” will neither write nor read nor spell.

Outlook Article on Industrial Education for Teachers

ALL the school-teachers and members of the school boards of Seventh-day Adventist schools should send at once ten cents to 287 Fourth Ave., New York City, and get a copy of the Outlook of Jan. 5, 1901. There is an article in it, on industrial education,— from actual experience and showing how success was attained,— that will be of greatest value to every one who is interested in industrial education, and who will study and fully accept the principles and instruction therein given. Besides the words of instruction, the article is fully and beautifully illustrated. The Outlook that contains it costs but ten cents. Please, all teachers and members of school boards, send without delay, and get it.

The Bible Reader No. 1 School Book

THAT best school reader—“The Bible Reader,” No. 1—is receiving excellent commendations. Already the first edition is exhausted, and another has to be printed. Have you got one yet for your children who are beginners? If not, they ought to be reading this book. Give them a chance. The price is only thirty-five cents. Address Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.; or Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.

Europe in Asia: The Kings of the East

“EUROPE IN ASIA” is the heading of an article in an exchange. It is a very expressive phrase; for in Asia now there is practically nothing but Europe. Nor does Europe in Asia quite tell it all; for America is there also. And Europe and America are now practically the world. Europe and America in Asia, is the world in Asia. And even so says the Scripture of the last times. The Euphrates was dried up that the way of the kings of the East might be prepared, and “the kings of the earth and the whole world” gather as the consequence of that preparation.

Advocate Series Leaflet No. 5: Readers for Children

The Battle Creek College Press has issued leaflet No. 5 of the Advocate Series. It is on the subject of “Readers for Children.” Its contents are so valuable that it ought to be distributed everywhere. Read it, and you will have some good thoughts, valuable information of the highest authority. Single copy, three cents; two for five cents. Two dollars per hundred. Address Training School Advocate, Battle Creek, Mich.

SPECIAL COURSE IN CANVASSING, FOR MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, INDIANA, AND ILLINOIS

IN view of the important instruction that has recently been coming to us concerning the importance of placing our literature before the public, and particularly what has been said concerning “Christ’s Object Lessons,” it has been decided by Battle Creek College to offer a special course in canvassing, for the training of young persons, and of older ones as well, to engage in this work during the coming year.
We call particular attention to the first-page article in the REVIEW AND HERALD SUPPLEMENT, dated January 1. Let every church plan to have one or more of its members take advantage of this special course of instruction, beginning January 29, and continuing through the time of General Conference, closing April 23.
The course will consist of study of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” special work in Bible, special work in practical physiology and hygiene, and a suitable course in English grammar. The book study will be free. The other studies will require tuition at the usual moderate rate.
Provision has been made for those desiring to take advantage of this special course, to room in the college dormitory. They can also board in the hall, on the European plan, which will greatly reduce their expenses. All who contemplate engaging in this important work should avail themselves of this opportunity, and thus be prepared to do good work in the field for the Master during the coming year.
For further particulars, address E. A. Sutherland, president Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich.
