If success were counted on numbers alone, surely the Southern Training-school should feel greatly gratified the present year. On the opening day the attendance was more than fifty per cent larger than a year ago. No one could predict that such a condition would prevail at the very opening of the school, and the facilities were more than taxed to their utmost. This necessitated borrowing many things, including tableware, bake-ovens, beds, and all that goes to make life agreeable.
Little by little the school has ceased to groan under the heavy responsibility of its overtaxed condition, and is adjusting itself to the needs of the students. Two additional teachers have been required for the work, and if the school continues to increase in size, there will doubtless be assistance needed in some of the departments. For the most part, an earnest class of young people have entered school this year, and it is very gratifying to the management to note the growing interest throughout the field in the success of the school.
In addition to many other interesting features, a large ministerial band has been organized, and is already engaged in study and field work.
Recently the Graysville Sanitarium has been closely affiliated with the school, and the superintendent, Dr. O. M. Hayward, is a regular member of the faculty of the Southern Training-school. This gives opportunity for every student to come into close touch with medical missionary principles, and enables the institutions to cooperate in their help and general management. While this has brought many problems to work out, we believe it will add greatly to the training of both nurses and regular students in the school. Strong courses are being carried forward in the regular lines, and a hearty good will prevails throughout the school.

News and Miscellany
Notes and clippings from the daily and weekly press
— A Cincinnati paper says that the Russian government has had 60,000,000 trees planted in the deserts in Central Asia in the last fifty years. Many of these are now high, forming groves of incalculable value to the country.
— A young Swiss girl, Anna Rapin, was born without arms. She showed a fondness for painting, which led to her being taught to paint portraits. She holds her brush between the first and second toes of her right foot. She has become famous not merely for her misfortune, but for the superior quality of her work.
— The English language leads all others. More people speak it, as the following figures will show: English is spoken by 160,000,000, German is spoken by 130,000,000, Russian is spoken by 100,000,000, French is spoken by 70,000,000, Spanish is spoken by 50,000,000, Italian is spoken by 50,000,000, Portuguese is spoken by 25,000,000.
— No less than 500 fraudulent cures for consumption have been tried upon thousands of victims in the United States during the last five years, according to an estimate made by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. This association also estimates that from these nostrums the exploiters have reaped a profit of not less than $50,000,000 upon an investment of $20,000,000.
— The recent presidential election, held in Mexico October 26, is generally considered a farce. It is estimated, judging from the results in Mexico City, where it is believed the vote was up to the average, that less than 10,000 of the 80,000 eligible voters in the federal district went to the polls. It is believed that when the new congress is organized, and the returns revised, the elections will be declared void.
— Persecution of Armenian Christians has once more broken out, and a reign of terrorism is raging among the Armenian villages in Roumelia. A large body of bashi-bazouks have been forcing and entering houses, torturing women and children. Kurds, on October 2, laid a seven-hour siege to the monastery at Bayazid, which nothing but the heroism of the Armenian patriarch saved, preventing a general massacre. Appeal has been made for help, but at latest reports none was given. The great powers are being criticized for not taking advantage of present conditions to oblige the sultan to protect his Christian subjects. War in the Balkans it was hoped might result in religious freedom for Christians, but thus far it has produced nothing of the kind, owing to the jealousies that have been engendered.
— Stag Canon Mine No. 2, near Dawson, N. Mex., was wrecked by an explosion October 22. There were 286 men in the mine at the time of the accident, and the total death-list numbered 263. Every possible effort was made to hasten rescue work, but continuous fires and deadly monoxid gas retarded the relief forces and proved fatal to the entombed miners.
— Secretary of War Garrison has decided to ask Congress for $6,000,000 for reserve field artillery ammunition. This is approximately five times more than Congress has ever allowed for that purpose in one year. Mr. Garrison’s estimates for the army next year are greater than any appropriation in recent years, totaling more than $100,000,000 in the army bill alone, exclusive of the fortifications bill. The army bill last year carried $94,266,145. No reason has been made public for the desired increase in field artillery ammunition.
— Attention is being drawn to the extent to which automobiles have brought a new calling into existence by the fact that in New York City alone there are 55,000 chauffeurs, and that during the last eight months 130,000 automobiles were registered in New York State, a gain of 30,000 over the corresponding period of 1912. The State received no less than $1,235,000 from the registration of chauffeurs’ licenses alone during the past year. During the same period California has issued 80,000 licenses, Pennsylvania 79,000, and Ohio 56,000.
— Women who arrive in this country from Europe wearing or bringing hats trimmed with the aigrettes of the osprey, the heron, or other wild fowl, must remove those plumes and turn them over to customs officers for confiscation. The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that the new tariff law provision, forbidding the importation of aigrettes made from the feathers of wild birds, applies to every such hat decoration and not merely to importations in quantities for sale. The announcement of this decision was made by Secretary McAdoo on October 8, and came as a good deal of a surprise to those who had laughed at the law that left such an easy chance for its evasion. The secretary announced that the law will be politely but none the less rigidly enforced.
— What is believed to be the last discovery of new land which can ever be made was announced recently at St. Petersburg. A Russian government exploring party reported the discovery of a continent 500 miles north of Siberia in the arctic circle, midway between Franz Josef Land and the New Siberia islands, in latitude 77° north, longitude 148° east. Commander Wilkitzky of the Russian navy, who was in charge of the expedition, gave it the name of Nicholas II Land, and took possession in behalf of the czar. The land is uninhabited and mountainous, with a number of volcanic peaks. Walrus, reindeer, and polar bears were reported, and also the presence of scant vegetation. Economically and politically the value of the newly discovered territory is nothing, but geographically it is, of course, most interesting and will make a striking addition to the polar map. Does this complete the conquest of the earth’s exploration?
The Noon-Hour Prayer
“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.”
“CHRIST prayed. Of all the arguments for prayer, that is the best. If he, the Son, had need of constant refuge in prayer, how much the more do the rest of us need the daily replenishing which comes from communion with the Father.”
Requests for Prayer
294. A sister, writing from Texas, tells how the Lord has answered, in part, her request published in this department some time ago, and asks our continued prayers for her family.
295. A sister in Oregon requests prayer for “spiritual, physical, and financial help” for her large family.
296. A Colorado sister desires healing from a serious skin disease.
297. An anxious mother in Kansas asks prayer for the restoration of her daughter who is suffering from an incurable disease.
298. A mother in Florida requests our united prayers for her son who has formed the liquor and tobacco habit.
299. An aged sister in Iowa desires the restoration of her hearing and eyesight, if it is God’s will to answer prayer in her behalf.

A Valuable Sabbath-School and Church-School Help
By Mrs. L. Flora Plummer
Those who have ever attempted to describe the sanctuary to a class of pupils know how difficult it is to give a correct idea of the structure and its furnishings. Even pictures are quite inadequate as a help. A sanctuary model is unquestionably the most satisfactory illustration that can be used. Those desiring a complete model of the sanctuary for use in Sabbath- or church-schools can secure one from A. W. Russell, Loma Linda, Cal. Price, $10. This is about the actual cost. The model is an excellent representation of the sanctuary. It is made of wood, with curtains and coverings, on a scale of one inch to a cubit. Order at once if you wish to receive the model in time for the Sabbath-school lessons on the sanctuary, which will be studied by the children in December.
Brother Russell says of his work, “I have spent a great amount of time and study and not a little money to make this possible. I have studied many authorities on the sanctuary, but have depended mostly on the Bible and the spirit of prophecy for information.”
Mrs. L. Flora Plummer.

She is survived by one sister, who is a member of one of our churches in Indiana. The deceased passed away with the hope of a part in the first resurrection. The large number present at the funeral service attested the high esteem in which she was held. WM. GUTHRIE.
JONES.—Mrs. Allice P. Jones, widow of Mr. H. C. Jones, departed this life at the home of her daughter in Holly, Mich., Oct. 14, 1913. She accepted present truth in 1874, under the labors of Elder D. A. Robinson, and united with the Potterville church. Later she removed her membership to St. Charles. Four sons and four daughters mourn, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. The writer spoke words of comfort. Text, Luke 14:14. WM. GUTHRIE.
BOVEE.—Laura E. Bovee died in Stockton, Cal., Oct. 11, 1913, aged 64 years. In the summer of 1911 Sister Bovee, in company with her sister, visited Portland, Oregon, and while there was attracted by the singing to a large tent where Elder Luther Warren was conducting services. She and her sister gladly accepted present truth, and were baptized together in the Willamette River. The deceased is survived by several children and one sister. She fell asleep in Jesus with the hope of soon living in that land where death and suffering will be no more. F. DEWITT GAUTERAU.
SANFORD.—W. B. Sanford was born in New Haven, Conn. In early manhood he removed to Iowa. In the summer of 1878 he and his wife attended some lectures on the second coming of Christ. For many years a lover of the Bible, he became convinced of the faith held by Seventh-day Adventists. Three years ago he came to California, and was granted membership in the St. Helena church. During the last four years of his life he felt the feebleness of advanced age, but found comfort and help in God's Word. Five children survive. S. T. HARE.
HARRISON.—Frances M. Harrison was born April 24, 1834, and died Oct. 14, 1913, aged 79 years, 5 months, and 20 days. She accepted present truth in the year 1885, and for more than a quarter of a century was faithful and diligent in giving Bible readings, selling books, and distributing tracts and papers. As a result, she could name more than one hundred persons who had embraced the third angel's message through her labors. She is survived by five children and one sister. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13-18, to a large company of sympathizing neighbors and friends. JACOB WILBUR.

The deceased accepted the third angel's message twenty years ago, at Chetopa, Kans., and until her death continued a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Her last days were full of suffering, but her hope and trust in the Lord gave her strength to bear all patiently, and she was fully resigned to God's will. She was laid to rest by the side of her companion, awaiting the call of the Life-giver. EMMA LACY.
MURCH.—Mildred May Squire Murch was born in Gary, Minn., Oct. 17, 1881, and died Oct. 11, 1913. When she was a child, her parents moved to Pine Island, Minn., where she was reared. At the age of twenty-one she was united in marriage to Frank A. Murch, who, with their three children, is left to mourn. The parents, four sisters, and four brothers of the deceased also survive. Sister Murch was a devoted wife and mother, and her faithfulness to God was shown by a consecrated Christian life. She was greatly loved by all who knew her. The funeral services were held in the new Seventh-day Adventist church near her home, words of consolation being spoken by the writer from Rev. 14:13 and 2 Tim. 4:7, 8. C. F. FOLKENBERG.
WITMER.—Sarah C. Franklin was born in western Canada, Nov. 24, 1852, and died at her home in Cedar Lake, Mich., Oct. 12, 1913. At the age of five years she went with her parents to Lagrange County, Indiana, where her childhood days were spent. Aug. 23, 1874, she was united in marriage with Urias Witmer, and to this union were born three daughters.

Hare in 1873, and to them four children were born, two sons and two daughters, who, with their mother, are left to mourn. Brother Krumm was a member of the first Seventh-day Adventist church organized in the State, and remained faithful until the time of his death. Being an old settler, he was widely known, and a large congregation attended the funeral services, which were conducted by the writer. S. W. NELLIS.
HARKEY.—Lulu Zelma Johnson was born Feb. 11, 1893, at Huntsville, Ark., and died at her home in Naples, Tex., Sept. 13, 1913.

She expressed herself as at peace with the Lord, and resigned to his will. A husband, one brother, and several nephews and nieces are left to mourn their loss. A. J. OSBORNE.
JOHNSON.—Jennie Engen was born near Christiania, Norway, Jan. 14, 1847, and died at Hughenden, Alberta, Oct. 8, 1913. At the age of six years she moved with her parents to Stanton, Wis., and later to Minnesota, where she was united in marriage to O. P. Johnson. In 1893 they moved to Roberts County, South Dakota, whence they came to Alberta in May, 1906. For about thirty years Sister Johnson sought to walk in the light of the third angel's message, and the hope of soon meeting the Saviour buoyed her up during the hours of suffering through which she was called to pass. She leaves a companion, three sons, and two daughters to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. C. A. BURMAN.
DAHL.—Rena Dahl, née Thompson, was born in Sogndal, Norway, and died at her home near South Haven, Mich., Aug. 20, 1913, aged 67 years, 1 month, and 18 days.

Judging Ourselves and Others
MANKIND cannot be forced into a state of righteousness. The ransom which some in the past were forced to pay for their lives was the nominal profession of Christianity. But the point of the sword could not write the law of God upon their hearts; hence with the change of formal profession there came no change in the practical working of the life.
We do not employ the sword today to drive men to Christ, but sometimes we are tempted to feel that it may be accomplished by argument, by intellectual rather than by physical blows. We use the Scriptures as a club to silence opposers. We quote the Testimonies to bring into subjection those who differ from us. We place ourselves in the judgment-seat and gage the Christianity of our fellows by the cut of their clothes, by the food that they eat, forgetting all the while that God alone is judge, and that while we may hold up our fellows to severe censure because they fail to measure up to our standard we may be taking a course in relation to some other doctrine or duty which leads us to come much farther short of the perfect standard than do those whom we criticize. We do well to discipline ourselves severely, but let us exercise a kindly attitude toward our associates.
We need much real, genuine Christianity in the world today. We need more of the charity that suffereth long and is kind,—a charity that envieth not, that vaunteth not itself, that is not puffed up, that thinketh no evil. It is proper that the church of God should have a standard of fellowship, and that in the church Christian discipline should be more faithfully enforced than it is. But over and above that there is needed a greater degree of Christian charity and brotherly love, a love which will not make a man an offender for a word; which will not lead us to discount a brother whose life of devotion and sacrifice to God has demonstrated his loyalty, because he does not conform to our standard of thinking.
We need today a conscientiousness which will not excuse sin in ourselves; a spirit of missionary labor which will lead us to put forth earnest efforts for those who fall into the ways of error; and a generosity of soul and a broadness of mind which will lead us to love the sinner while we are seeking to separate him from his sin, remembering our weaknesses and shortcomings, and extending to our fellows the same kindly spirit of Christian helpfulness which we might ask for ourselves. This is the principle involved in the golden rule, the very essence of the gospel of Christ.
One Hour — Five Papers — Seventeen Dollars for Missions
By T. E. Bowen
THE experience of two brethren at Boulder, Colo., may be interesting and helpful to those who have not finished their Ingathering work. Brother J. C. Musselman writes:—
“The Harvest Ingathering campaign has proved such a blessing to some of us that we wish to tell some of our experiences. Another brother and I, in talking over our plans for the campaign, decided that we ought not to be satisfied to raise less than ten dollars each; but after he had solicited from three persons and received five dollars from each, he came to me and said he had raised his mark to twenty-five dollars. I took an hour after the Sabbath to call on three in my territory, and received five dollars from each of the three. I disposed of five papers, in all, and received seventeen dollars. Then I decided to raise my mark to twenty-five dollars.”
“In discussing the subject with this brother later, we both decided that it is just about as easy to raise five dollars as five cents if we get started right. One gentleman, a patient at the sanitarium, with whom I had only a speaking acquaintance, said he esteemed it a privilege to give five dollars to the work. Doubtless there are many others who would esteem it a privilege to give if only it is presented as such.”
We hope no one will count $1.54 his personal goal. It is not. This simply illustrates what an easy task it would be to raise $100,000 for missions provided every man, woman, and child whose name is on the church book took hold and worked.
The record of orders reached 531,112 on Friday, October 24. Altogether, forty-five conferences have exceeded their last year’s records of orders.
We hope before next week to receive the good word that some conferences have reached in money receipts their portion of the $100,000 for missions.
T. E. BOWEN.
Workers Invited to Australia and Holland
The recent General Conference Committee Council invited Elder D. N. Wall, of California, to go to Australia to labor in the German work, and Brother D. P. Boersma, of New Jersey, to go to Holland, in response to an invitation from the European Division Conference.
Johnson Family Delayed En Route to Mexico
OWING to troubles along the Mexican border, Brother E. R. and Mrs. Johnson, en route from California to Mexico City, found themselves unable to proceed, and were advised to sail from New York when times are quieter. We are glad to greet them in Washington, where they will spend a little time in special work at the Foreign Mission Seminary.
European Workers Sent to Mission Fields
WE learn from Elder Guy Dail, secretary of the European Division, that new workers have been leaving Europe for the mission fields as follows: In August, Paul Bridde, of the Hamburg Publishing House, to Constantinople, Turkey, to act as manager of the Levant Union publishing office; in September, L. Aberle, of Germany, to the Victoria Nyanza Mission, Central Africa, D. E. Delhove, of Belgium, to British East Africa, Elder H. and Mrs. Erzberger, of Switzerland, to Beirut, Syria, and Elder Otto and Mrs. Stanbert, for Persia, via Tiflis, in the Trans-Caucasus.
Our New First-Page Design
By Editor
WE are sure our readers appreciate our new first-page design, which was used for the first time in connection with the Harvest Ingathering number. The gospel message for today is finding open doors to all the world, as suggested by the artist. We are indebted to Brother S. M. Harlan, of this Office, for the mechanical drawing of this design. The design at the head of page 3, “The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald,” with a representation of the world, was produced from a wood cut made by the late Elder Uriah Smith, for many years the efficient editor of this paper.

Sister Irwin’s New Address
A RECENT letter from Sister G. A. Irwin states that she has rented to the sanitarium her home in Loma Linda, and purposes to live for the present with her son, Prof. C. W. Irwin, at St. Helena, Cal. This is her address, in care of Pacific Union College.
