SPIRE.—Died at Nashville, Tenn., June 8, 1901, of typhoid fever, Brother F. C. Spire. He accepted the truth eight years ago, and had served as elder of the Nashville church most of the time since. A wife and three small children mourn their loss. He expressed assurance of his acceptance with God, and his death was peaceful. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. J. E. White.
KRAUSHAAR.—Died in Hatley, Miss., July 3, 1901, Mary Ellen, wife of Isaac N. Kraushaar. Sister Kraushaar was born in Morristown, Minn., March 10, 1865. She was converted in youth, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which she was an esteemed member until the time of her death. She leaves her companion and a son of fifteen years to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. Text, Rev. 14:13. R. S. Owen.
RISLEY.—Died at Augusta, Mich., July 15, 1901, of Bright’s disease, after a long and painful illness, Hattie L., wife of George E. Risley, aged 47 years, 7 months. She was an honored and faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for over twenty-six years.

RIFFENBERRICK.—Wm. M. Riffenberrick, a native of Pennsylvania, aged 57 years, 8 months, 11 days, died June 23, 1901, at the residence of his son, and was buried June 26. The son himself was seriously ill, and so could not attend the funeral service, which was held from the undertaker’s parlors in Watsonville, Cal. The deceased was elder of the Watsonville church. Returning from Sabbath service, he stopped to leave a neighbor some reading. When climbing into his wagon, the horse started while he was on the wheel. Being a cripple (he lost one leg in the war of the Rebellion), he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The seat was drawn after him, and fell across his neck, producing an injury which resulted in a peculiar form of spinal meningitis. This caused his death. His mind was clear to the last; and he died trusting in God. The services were conducted by the writer. A. J. Morton.

The Bible Reader.

By PROF. E. A. SUTHERLAND.
We have carefully read the new “Bible Reader,” by Prof. E. A. Sutherland. It is an excellent work, weaving the Bible story and the light given in the Spirit of Prophecy together in an interesting manner. Mothers will find it a valuable help in the home. It will prove a blessing in the schoolroom. It gives a vocabulary which, when mastered by the child, will enable him to read the Bible at an early age, and fill his mind with Bible truth.

Mental Arithmetic for Home and School.

By Prof. E. A. Sutherland.
“I am happy to say that I am greatly pleased with the “Mental Arithmetic for Home and Church Schools,” and shall work for its introduction wherever I may be. I believe that the publication of such books will do more for Christian education than any amount of theorizing.
Very few with this book before them would ask how to teach arithmetic, or the multiplication table from the Bible. The book clearly demonstrates that it is not meant that every problem and principle must be drawn from the Bible, but that the spirit of the Bible is to live in the subject and the teaching of arithmetic, and that the facts used in the subject must be in harmony with Bible truth. — C. C. Lewis, Principal of Keene Industrial Academy.
PRICE, 65 CENTS.

THE FULLNESS OF JEW AND GENTILE.

Bible Student's Library, No. 165.
A clear and conclusive treatment of the question embraced in the subject, in which the author proves that through the rejection of Christ by the Jews, Israel's claim to the sole heirship of the Abrahamic covenant was forfeited, and the Gentiles, by becoming Christ's, became heirs according to the promise. The fullness of the Gentiles, it is shown, came in the second rejection of Christ by the Jews, and the repudiation of the gospel message, and that all who through the acceptance of Christ become Israelites, will dwell with Christ, “the fullness of the Godhead bodily,” through eternal ages. Price, ½ cent.

Tent-Meeting Leaflets.

This selection of leaflets is of invaluable assistance to the tent worker. The subject matter is attractively arranged, and being illustrative of the various subjects he may present, an outline of the respective topics is placed in the hands of the hearers, often assuring subsequent study of the questions treated. By their liberal distribution in the vicinity of a tent, the minister will invariably find his audiences becoming larger. Order now and indicate the subjects you desire covered.

Self-Government, or the Reign of Conscience.

BY C. P. BOLLMAN.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY LIBRARY, No. 16.
As the title indicates, this tract treats of God's plan of government as exemplified in Israel. From the opening topic, "The Origin of Government," to that which closes the work, "The Apostles and the Civil Authorities," the fundamental principles of the theocracy established by God among his people are taken to prove that in that plan were revealed elements which would bring to its subjects liberty in its truest sense. The results of Israel's apostasy in demanding a king, and the perversion of God's idea of government in succeeding ages, are clearly presented.
To give a true understanding of government, its purpose and fundamental principles, no work is better suited. 48 pages. Price, 2 cents.

THE DESIRE of AGES

BY MRS. E. G. WHITE
A Life of the Saviour
“I have examined with much interest and great pleasure ‘The Desire of Ages,’ the life of Christ, written by Mrs. E. G. White. It is one of the very best lives of the Christ of mankind extant. Its clearness, cogency, beauty of simile and metaphor, admirable plan and force of evangelical teaching places it pre-eminent as a work for the student and Christian, as well as the humblest believer. We have here the exact words and scenes which illumine the gospel in so reverent and apt a manner that reading is a positive delight. The cross shines out from these pages as a symbol alike of blessedness and power.” REV. LEWIS BROWN, St. Paul’s Church, Indianapolis, Ind.

STORY OF DANIEL THE PROPHET.

BY ELDER S. N. HASKELL.
INTRODUCTION BY ELDER URIAH SMITH.
A BIOGRAPHY of this greatly beloved prophet, entirely new in its treatment of the life of Daniel, giving in an interesting style the experience gained in the extremes of captivity in his early life, and later, of honor from the hands of earthly monarchs. Through this book is revealed in the life of Daniel and his close connection with God, all the vital principles of the message for these last days.
“I have carefully read the manuscript of ‘Story of Daniel the Prophet,’ and will unhesitatingly say that it was a feast of the spirit until the last line was reached. Often in reading I was compelled to go back and read again the impressive statements, and could not help saying, half aloud, “Wonderful, wonderful are the thoughts of God.” I am sure that this unpretentious volume has the converting power of God in it,—that it will greatly stimulate the weak faith of such as have grown languid in the Master’s service, and will incline heavenward the thoughts of many who have never started in the Christian life.”—G. W. Amadon.

MARVEL OF NATIONS.

OUR COUNTRY; ITS PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, AND ITS PLACE IN PROPHECY.
By Elder Uriah Smith.
In this review of American progress, the political nature of our country as set forth in its fundamental principles, its marvelous territorial growth, and the advances in art and science, and the bettered condition of the people, are all taken as an indication of its position in prophecy. It is shown that prophecy reveals also the part our country is to act in the closing work of the world's history, thus dealing with every phase of the life of America — past, present, and future.
A large force of agents is wanted to sell this book. Ready for delivery about September 15. Prospectus ready about September 1.

Disfranchisement in the South

IN its issue dated August 17, the Literary Digest reports “more steps in negro disfranchisement,” under which heading it mentions “the adoption of a suffrage plan by the Alabama Constitutional Convention that is likely to bar almost all the blacks in the State from the polls without barring any of the whites,” and adds that “the Virginia Constitutional Convention seems likely to adopt a similar plan soon, and the Maryland Democrats declare in their State platform, just adopted, that if they carry the coming election, they will take similar measures in that State.”
At this rate the negro will soon be disfranchised throughout the South, and then further steps in the process of reducing him to his “previous condition of servitude” will be logically bound to follow. And they will follow.
Thus with one hand this nation is withdrawing freedom from its dark-skinned people at home, while with the other it is supposed to be conferring freedom on dark-skinned races across the sea! But verily it has one and the same mind toward those races everywhere.

The Tabernacle Pulpit.

DR. A. J. READ occupied the Tabernacle pulpit Sabbath, August 17, preaching an excellent discourse from Jer. 31:29, 30: “In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.” The speaker showed the far-reaching results of both heredity and environment upon the child, and that cultivated tendencies are transmitted from parents to offspring. That tendencies acquired by the parent may become a part of the heredity of the offspring is proved by the fact that Adam’s descendants inherited all the evil tendencies and habits acquired by himself and Eve. Had his descendants inherited only his natural traits given to him by the Creator, they would have been born perfect, even as he was at first perfect.
God has permitted us, even invited us, to call Him “Our Father.” We are created in His image, and take from Him all the good tendencies existing in our nature. The evil in our natures is both acquired and inherited evil. The exhortation is: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” The fact that God’s traits of character are, to an extent, repeated, or reproduced, in us, should be a source of encouragement and uplift to every human being. It is God’s nature to forgive. Such is also the characteristic of little children. They quarrel one instant, but easily forgive each other, and forget. The older they grow, however, the longer it takes for them to forgive an injury. This is because of their imitation of older people in this respect.
The evil effects of heredity may be largely overcome by proper environment, or associations. Children taken from the slums of our great cities, with all the evil tendencies of wicked parents in their natures, may become Christian men and women, providing they are surrounded with such influences as will enable them to acquire good habits and tendencies. This is illustrated in the animal kingdom by the fact that instinct may be changed by a new environment. For instance, an Englishman once took to Australia some eggs of birds from his native land. Upon hatching, in Australia, the young birds at once abandoned the method of building nests common to their parents and relatives in England, and, instead of constructing covered nests, made theirs with an open top, as do the birds of Australia.
The idea of the fatherhood of God, the sonship of man, is one that elevates mankind, bringing all men nearer to their Creator and Father. The statement that God made man in His own image does not mean that he was made thus only in an outward, a physical sense. He also inherited his Maker’s traits of character. ‘And, though it is true that this high and noble inheritance has been vitiated by the passing down, from generation to generation, of Adam and Eve’s acquired evil tendencies, still the promise is that it shall no more be said that “the fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.” While God visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate Him (Exodus 20), still He shows mercy “unto thousands” of them that love Him and keep His commandments.
A. J. B.

The Review to the Poor.

THROUGH the efforts of those engaged in the Woman’s Gospel Work among our people, an excellent move was made recently toward supplying poor people with the REVIEW—people who wanted the paper but were too poor to pay for it. Persons who had REVIEWS they felt willing to spare, sent us their names, and we sent them the names of those who wished the REVIEW. Now the demand has become greater than the supply, so we will call again for the names of those who will be willing to remail their REVIEW to some needy person who is without it. Send in your name and address to this Office, stating the purpose for which it is sent.

“Marvel of Nations:” New Edition.

To the readers of the REVIEW have been sent out this week envelope circulars containing further particulars concerning the new “Marvel of Nations,” now going through the press. The object of this notice is to suggest to those who receive it that the little circular hardly gives a fair idea of what the completed book will be. For instance, the emblematic double-page design of “American Progress” is to be printed in colors; and for this circular the photograph was made from a colored painting; and as it is well understood that yellow shows black in a photograph, it will be understood how this plate cannot properly represent the design. The cover design, the title-page, our country’s emblem, and the national map will also be in colors. The colored plate of American Progress was prepared in Philadelphia. The artist has just sent us a proof of it, and it is regarded very fine. The emblem will be surrounded by twenty historical and departmental colored flags of the army and navy, true to nature, very instructive as well as very handsome. We are satisfied all will be pleased with the book when they see it. The list of illustrations is large, numbering about one hundred and thirty, and each one designed to be appropriate and instructive. Prospectuses will be ready September 1, and books for delivery by September 15. The publishers are ready to receive orders for one thousand prospectuses immediately. Translators are at work on the German, Danish-Norwegian, and Swedish editions. Price of prospectus, sixty cents.

There Are Four Tuesdays

in September, 1901; and we find, by examining our REVIEW mailing list, that subscriptions will expire on every Tuesday of the month. Here are the names of four subscribers (taken at random from the list) whose subscriptions expire on the 3d, 10th, 17th, and 24th of September, respectively:—
Carrie Williams — 3d Sep 1901 D B Rineley — 10 Sep 1901 Jas Woodward — 17 Sep 1901 W C Jackman — 24 Sep 1901
If your subscription to the REVIEW expires in September, 1901, you will find a renewal blank inclosed in this REVIEW. While renewing your own subscription, will you not also send us a two months’ subscription for that friend of yours? REVIEW AND HERALD.

When to Send Review Announcements

ANNOUNCEMENTS to appear in the REVIEW should be forwarded in time to reach us not later than the Thursday preceding the date of the issue for which they are intended. Frequently some announcement accompanied by a request to insert it in the “next issue” reaches us Friday or even Sunday, when it could not be inserted without tearing apart and making over pages that are all made up and ready for the press. This would involve much extra trouble and delay. Perhaps even then it might be done if it concerned only the editors, for editors are unusually accommodating; but the editors do not have control of the machinery of this large Office, and it does not belong to them to say when the typesetting machines or the presses shall do work on the Review. The setting up and printing of this paper is only one item in the weekly work of this large publishing house, and in order that this work may be done to the best advantage and profit, it must be done systematically, and the editors and every one else must accommodate themselves to the established system. So if your announcement does not appear in “the next issue” as you had designed, you may know it was not an editorial whim that delayed it, but simply the fact that it was not sent soon enough to connect with the schedule of that “next issue.” Due allowance must, of course, be made for time consumed in transit and in handling the mails at the post-offices.

Further Skodsborg Experiences

Some remarkable indications of the workings of the Providence which goes before us in the proclamation of the Third Angel's Message, are mentioned in the article “Further Skodsborg Experiences,” found in our Progress department. You will enjoy reading it.
