COLORADO CAMP-MEETING.

By J. M. Rees

The annual camp-meeting for Colorado will be held at Argyle Park, in Denver, September 6-17. This will be the largest gathering of Seventh-day Adventists ever held in Colorado, and I need not urge the importance of this meeting. No common excuse for not coming will suffice this year.
Railroad rates have been secured at one and one-fifth fare; that is, you pay full fare from any station in Colorado on any railroad to Denver, taking a certificate from the agent for money paid for ticket; and we will be able to return you for one fifth of the fare paid. Tickets with certificates will be on sale September 3-8. When arriving in Denver, go to Fifteenth Street. Take street car marked Elitch's Garden. Get off at Elitch's Garden. Look to the right, and you will see the camp.
J. M. REES.

NEBRASKA, NOTICE!

The annual meeting of the Nebraska Conference and Tract Society will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Seward, twenty-five miles west of Lincoln, September 12-24. The first business meeting will be held September 18, at 9 A. M. We hope there will be a full delegation, as this will be one of the most important meetings ever held in Nebraska. Steps will be taken at this meeting to greatly advance the work in the Conference. The General Conference has promised us good help, and we know that the Lord will be present with his Holy Spirit.
We have secured reduced rates on the certificate plan on tickets purchased September 11, 12, 17-21. By taking a certificate a person can return for one-third fare.
Let nothing hinder you, brethren and sisters, from attending this feast of tabernacles.                                                                 N. P. NELSON.

Heralds of the Morning

By A. O. Tait

By ELDER A. O. TAIT, Assistant Editor of the Signs of the Times, Is without doubt the book for this time. The one and only theme of this work is the

Second Coming of Christ

The grand culminating event of the earth's history, to which the patriarchs, the prophets, and Christians of all ages have looked forward.
The signs in the earth, sea, and sky all point to the fact that the Lord is soon to come. The author takes these signs as they exist, and shows them to be the fulfillment of prophecy, treating the subject in a masterly, logical, and convincing manner.
A few of the chapter headings will show the scope of the work:— He Will Come Again, Great Deceptions, This Remarkable Century, The Prevalence of Crime a Sign of Our Times, “Judgment Is Turned Away Backward,” The Earth is Filled with Violence, “The Social Evil,” Ye Have Heaped Treasure together for the Last Days, And the Nations Were Angry, The Voice of the Elements, “And There Shall Be a Time of Trouble,” Our Refuge and Fortress.
In view of the fact that this world is rapidly drawing to its close, and that many souls are rushing on to everlasting doom, do you not wish to guide some one to the place of safety? Do you not yearn to be in the Lord’s vineyard, and carry his last message to the people?
“Heralds of the Morning” is just the book to arouse many to a sense of the times in which we live. The volume contains 280 pages; 109 illustrations, several of which extend across two pages; is printed on a superior quality of paper; has two styles of binding—cloth, marbled edges, $1.25; gilt, $1.50. Specimen pages sent on application.
Agents wanted in every county. For further particulars, address your tract society, or the— REVIEW AND HERALD PUB CO., Battle Creek, Mich. Or the PACIFIC PRESS PUB. CO., Oakland, Cal,

“THE HERALDS OF THE MORNING”

Is a book of two hundred and seventy-nine pages, with one hundred and nine illustrations, written by Elder A. O. Tait. There are several books for the present time; but this book is for the present time in a way that no other one is. It occupies a field of its own alone. It presents the truth of the near coming of the Lord in a way that no other book does. It arrays the scriptures that tell of the last days and the coming of the Lord, with the present-day evidences of their fulfillment, as has never before been done. And it is done most effectively. It is so done that anybody who reads it can not fail to see that it is all so. It takes the things that everybody does see, for they are so open and safe that it is impossible for any not to see them, and sets them in the glowing light of the Scriptures; and it is so done that by its very simplicity and force everyone who reads, is convinced that this is the very time, and those are the very things, referred to in those scriptures. There are twenty-four chapters. Some of them are: “Watchmen, What of the Night?” “He Will Come Again,” “Great Deceptions,” “What Many People Shall Say,” “Judgment Is Turned Away Backward,” “And the Nations Were Angry,” “The Voice of the Elements,” “The Testimony of the Earth,” “Ye Have Heaped Treasure together for the Last Days,” etc., etc. It matters not what other books you may have read, you should read this one; for you will not have read all till you have read this one. There are thoughts here and there that have been taught in other books; but taking the book as a whole,—its matter, its plan, and its method,—there is nothing like it; it stands absolutely alone. No one can read it, even though it were possible that he should not believe it, without being far more intelligent than before. It is especially an intelligence-conveying book. Get it, and read it; and when you have read it, be sure to pass it on to your neighbor; it will do him good.

Are You a Reader of this Important Paper?

If not, you are missing much that you ought to have right now!
Never was there more imperative need of a thorough understanding of the principles underlying the rights of conscience than at the present time. Old controversies are being revived. New ones are springing up; and now, more than ever before, Seventh-day Adventists ought to be able to give a reason for their faith.
“The most momentous struggle of all the ages is just before us,” says “Testimony for the Church,” No. 33, page 239. This was true when these words were first printed, and it is doubly true now, as is also the following from the same source, pages 246 and 248:—
“The Sentinel is like a trumpet giving a certain sound; and all our people should read it carefully, and then send it to some relative or friend, thus putting to the best use the light that God has given them.”
“Let every worker for God comprehend the situation, and place the Sentinel before our churches, explaining its contents, and urging home the facts and warnings it contains.”
If you are not now taking the Sentinel, please subscribe at once. The International Religious Liberty Association, by whom the paper is now published, needs your help in making the paper a success, and you need the truth that the paper contains.

Education Reform

The United States Commissioner of Education publishes an article calling for a reform in education, especially in methods of instruction.

Finnish Emigration Under Russian Rule

LAST year, “fifteen thousand Finns left their own country for other lands; this year, the number will be many times greater.” This because of Russia’s breach of faith with them.

A McKinley Doctrine in Asia

In the North American Review of August, Mr. John Barrett inquires why the United States should not have “a McKinley doctrine in Asia as well as a Monroe doctrine in America.”

Newspapers and War News

THESE again are great days for the newspapers. They get no real news from the seat of war oftener than about once a week, and so are obliged to fill whole columns daily with mere conjecture. They do it, though, regularly every day.

The Coming King in Danish and Swedish

By Editor

WE are glad to announce that that excellent book, “The Coming King,” is now issued in both Danish and Swedish. We sincerely hope that it may be given the wide circulation in these languages that its worth demands that it should have everywhere.

America’s World-Power Destiny

At the midsummer convocation of the University of Chicago, August 10, General Joseph Wheeler said: “We are now a great world-power; and the destiny of the human race is in the future to be largely guided by the influence exerted by this government.”

Christian Nations More Pagan Than Pagans

THE National Review of England says that “in the painful chapter of diplomacy, which for two months left the foreign legations at Peking exposed to frightful peril, the Japanese have set an example, of which, it is to be hoped, Christian nations may show themselves worthy.” This is only to say that the “Christian nations” are more pagan that pagans; and therefore not Christian at all.

Proposed Change to Memorial Day

A RESOLUTION is to be put before the annual meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic this year “to change the date of Memorial day from May 30 to the last Sunday in May.” The commander-in-chief thinks the resolution will be adopted. This will immensely increase the storm of wrath that would already fall upon the person who should be found following his honest occupation on that particular Sunday, and will also shortly spread its influence to every Sunday.

Vice in High Society

At the “Old Home” celebration at Concord, N. H., August 17, the orator of the day declared, of high society in the United States, that “there, as nowhere else, exists the brazen vice by which, as much as by any other thing, Rome crumbled to her fall.”

The Kings of the East Preparing

It is stated that “Admiral Dewey is superintending the work of the Dewey strategy board in preparing a grand plan of sea-fighting in case this China pot brews an international conflict.” And thus it is plainly shown that the United States expects only that she will be involved in such international conflict. “The way of the kings of the East” is fast preparing. What are you doing?

Filipino Sentiment Toward Americans

THE special Philippines correspondent of the New York Herald, who has been there since Dewey's day of victory, now writes to his paper that “it is doubtful whether they [the Filipinos] hated the Spaniards as much as they hate the Americans.” And this, when only two years ago they welcomed the Americans, and helped them to expel the Spaniards! What can have caused such a revolution of feeling in so short a time?

The World-Problem.

The allied armies entered Peking, August 15, and delivered all the legationers. And now there will begin among the Powers themselves what is acknowledged to be “a war of diplomacy, if not of blood and steel.” And that it will not speedily be a war of blood and steel, is by no means certain; since against the vigorous protest of the consuls of the United States and Russia, Britain landed two thousand five hundred troops at Shanghai, August 18. It has been “practically decided,” at Washington, that the American army will remain in China “until the Chinese enter into convention to pay all indemnities accruing by reason of the Boxer rebellion;” and “until the disorders in all the provinces are quelled.” And that is practically to decide that they shall stay there forever.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

By P. T. Magan

PLEASE take notice that all orders and money for Sister White's new book, “Parables of Jesus, or Christ's Object Lessons,” should be sent to your State tract society secretary, and not to Brother A. G. Adams, the treasurer of the Conference, nor to P. T. Magan, secretary of the Educational Bureau. This book will be handled entirely through the tract societies; therefore send the money for it to your State tract society secretary, just the same as for any other book.
BUT, on the other hand, all money to the big fund for the “relief of the schools” should be sent to A. G. Adams, treasurer of the General Conference, care of the Review and Herald. When you send to Brother Adams money for this big fund, be sure to state that it is for the “relief of the schools.”
Thank the Lord, the money is beginning to come in quite rapidly on this big fund for the “relief of the schools;” but let it come in more rapidly, so that the bright day may quickly come when the glad notes of the “jubilee song of freedom may be sung throughout our borders.” P. T. MAGAN.

Awaiting Armageddon

THE Contemporary Review, referring to Russia's blotting out of Finland, adds: “Odd things are happening everywhere. . . . Russia, Germany, England,— these are great names; they palpitate with great ideas; they have vast destinies before them, and millions of armed men in their pay, all awaiting Armageddon.”

Home Wanted for Baby and Housekeeper

WANTED.— A home for a little baby boy three months old. He has pretty blue eyes and is in good health. Also a woman, thirty-five years old, desires a place among Sabbath keepers as housekeeper. She has had sixteen years’ experience, and is in good health. Address Mrs. W. S. Sadler, 1926 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill.

RATES TO THE OKLAHOMA CAMP-MEETING.

By C. McREYNOLDS

ARRANGEMENTS have been made for the following rates on all the railroads in Oklahoma and Indian Territory. A round-trip ticket at one-and-one-third fare will be sold at all stations; no certificates are required. Buy your ticket paying the full one-and-one-third fare, and your ticket will be good for return September 10, the day after the close of the meeting. The tickets can be bought August 29, 30, 31, and September 3, good to return September 10 or before. Remember that you do not have to get a certificate with your meeting ticket this time. However, it is always proper to ask the ticket agent to give you a receipt for your money paid for a ticket at any time and place, and it sometimes saves trouble. We hope that many of our people will come over the railroad this year. C. McREYNOLDS.

OKLAHOMA CAMP-MEETING.

By O. McREYNOLDS

Dear Brethren and Sisters of Oklahoma Conference: A few more days will bring us to the time of our annual camp-meeting. We are anxious that you may all get the benefit of this meeting. As there are to be no regular business meetings and all the time is to be devoted to the spiritual interests of the people, we are sure no one who comes with a desire to be benefited will go away disappointed. We are now fully assured that we will have the largest camp-meeting that was ever held in this Conference. Our new Conference building is finished, and may be dedicated at the close of the camp-meeting. It is a matter that all our people in the Conference are interested in. Our sanitarium work is one of the important interests in the Conference at this time. We are not going to ask you to raise money for this building or for anything connected with it, but we wish you to see and know for yourselves how these things are going on. The Lord has told us in the Testimony that sanitariums should be established in different parts of the country in connection with the gospel ministry.
This is what we are doing here. It is to be an institution where the light of the Third Angel's Message will shine out with no uncertain gleams. The Conference will have local management and control of it, so far as directing concerning the nature of the work to be done therein. God has in a wonderful manner opened the way for the building of this institution, and we only follow his leading.
On the camp-ground instructions will be given in both principles and treatment of disease, which will be given by our people. Efficient help will be sent to assist Dr. A. in this work. We hope to have Dr. Kellogg with us a part of the time at least. Everything that can be done will be done to make you comfortable while on the grounds. And we are to announce that we shall have the very best water for all purposes, and an abundant supply. It is good, soft, and pure. Come early, and bring angels with you. The Lord, as well as a good corps of his ministers, will be here with us. Plenty of room this year. Come and bring all the family, and as many neighbors as you can. They can hear the doctrines of the Angel's Message. It will do them good.
O. McREYNOLDS, Pres. Conf.
