“God has most wonderfully blessed me in my work. Most of my patients were in a very serious condition, but all have recovered. One little girl was, it seemed to all, in a dying condition, yet she has been raised up. The people think that I saved her life, but I believe that it was the special blessing of God. I wish that I could tell you all about it, for it was a wonderful experience. The people seem to have the utmost confidence in me. They say I am a conscientious nurse, and that it is such a comfort to know that I pray for my patients.
“When I attended camp meeting last fall, I was in no condition to take a case. I promised the Lord that if I could have sufficient health I would pledge $250 for foreign missions. I also pledged several other small amounts. The Lord has certainly21done his part, and, oh, I am so thankful! I have already been able to pay all my debts incurred during my sickness, and am paying up the pledges. I believe that I am the happiest girl in the land.
“We have a very active missionary society in our little church, and one young woman has already accepted the truth. One family is now in the valley of decision, and many others here are showing more or less interest. We are keeping two reading racks at the depot filled.”

A Public Indorsement
ONE of our workers tells of one of the best-known evangelists of the country having been a patient at his treatment rooms. During his stay in the city he took treatments after the night services. Sometimes it would be two o’clock before the treatment was finished. His wife came for treatments also. He used three tickets, each calling for a course of treatments.
On the last night of the meeting, with a large building packed, the evangelist thanked the people for their attendance and cooperation, and then said: “If it had not been for the sanitarium baths I should not have been able to keep up these meetings. The people of this city ought to appreciate and patronize these treatment rooms. I wish to thank publicly Mr. and Mrs —— for staying up so late to give the treatments. They are now waiting for me and my wife to come.” This was a very helpful advertisement for our workers.

William Booth’s First Sermon
Fifty years ago, July 5, William Booth preached his first sermon to the outcasts of London. With a great yearning to reach the poor and the unfortunate, as well as the wicked of the metropolis, he went down to Mile End Waste, the most abandoned part of the East End of London, and there in front of the Blind Beggar Public House—a plain, ordinary, low-down saloon, as we would call it in this country—he sang, drew a crowd, and proclaimed the gospel. Out of that service grew the Salvation Army formally organized in 1878, with its world-wide constituency. It was the intention of the army to have observed this event with fitting exercises this year, but owing to the European war no formal celebration is to take place.

HISTORY OF THE SABBATH
REVISED AND ENLARGED
THIS splendid volume by Elder J. N. Andrews, which was so highly prized by our people during the early years of this denomination, and which was the means of persuading many to accept the Bible Sabbath, has just been reissued in its revised and enlarged form.
For several years Elder L. R. Conradi, who has had access to the large libraries in Europe, has been making a thorough research in the ancient histories with regard to the Sabbath question. The information thus gained has been carefully prepared for this book, thus adding greatly to its completeness. It is a mine of useful information on the Sabbath question.
This book treats the Sabbath question from both the Biblical and the historical standpoint. Every passage of Scripture which has any connection with the Sabbath is carefully examined. The prophecies relating to the change from the seventh to the first day of the week and the history showing how and when the change was made, combine to make the study of this important subject one of great interest and profit. The various steps by which the change was made are given in detail; also the scriptures showing that the Sabbath will finally be exalted and restored to its proper place by the people of God.
A copious index enables the reader readily to find any passage of Scripture, or the statement of any historian.
The revised edition contains over 800 pages. Standard edition, full cloth binding, $1.50
Thin paper edition, flexible leather binding, $2.50

Our Supply Is Exhausted
By Editor
The July or John Huss number of the PROTESTANT MAGAZINE met with ready sale. It has found its way into the homes of ministers, professional men, and lay members of all churches. Newspapers have commented upon this important, universal celebration of the martyrdom of Huss, and the spirit of this noble man is thus revived.
The August Number of the “Protestant Magazine”
Is equally good, and of vital interest. Those who missed the July issue should get in their orders early.
The PROTESTANT MAGAZINE is set for the defense of the gospel, as embodied in the third angel’s message, and where organized effort is made to preach any other, it is ready to protest.
The object of one such organization is to create in America a “Roman Catholic atmosphere”—a condition so predominantly Catholic that whatever Rome proposes shall be taken as a matter of fact. American citizens will awake from this stupor too late—their liberties gone forever. The August PROTESTANT tells the story.
SOME FEATURES OF THE AUGUST NUMBER OF THE PROTESTANT MAGAZINE
“The Religious Issue in Politics—Once More;” a letter of a correspondent who takes exception to the statement that Roman Catholics should not be excluded from political office merely because they are Roman Catholics, is answered at some length.
“The Crime of Opinion;” an open letter from a Roman Catholic, which appeared in the newspaper in Lima, Peru, shows the real attitude of Roman Catholics toward the censorship of the press.
“Un-American Political Doctrines;” a Roman Catholic editor challenges the editor of the Protestant Magazine to name some of the un-American political doctrines advocated by the Roman Catholic Church. This article is an answer to this challenge.
“Subscriptions, Crucifixes, and Purgatory;” a Roman Catholic magazine offers as a premium for renewed subscriptions a crucifix which, when blessed by a priest and used in the prescribed way, will result in various indulgences, including a plenary indulgence to the user. This easy method of escaping purgatory is discussed in this article.
“Creating an Atmosphere;” a brief statement of the means now being used to create a Roman Catholic atmosphere in America, and thus make it easier to carry out the program to “make America Catholic.”
“Two Very Human Types: Erasmus and Luther;” a discussion of the characteristics of these two men and their attitude toward the Reformation of the sixteenth century.
“The Great Counterfeit of Christianity;” the first of a series of articles dealing with the Roman apostasy.
Various notes, extracts, and editorial briefs dealing with the current history of the Roman Catholic Church. These are an interesting feature of the magazine.

A New Offer on “Stories Worth Rereading”
By Editor
We are pleased to be able to announce that it has been arranged for that much-desired book, “Stories Worth Rereading,” to be furnished with all Instructor clubs for fifty cents extra on each book ordered. The number of books that may be secured with each club may range from one to the number of papers included in any club, but cannot exceed that number.
Through this arrangement it will be possible for our Sabbath schools to secure for their members as many of these books with their Instructor clubs as they have papers, and each book will cost only fifty cents in addition to the price of the club. The offer is perpetual, and applies on any club, no matter how small or how large, or for how long the club is to be taken. We hope all our boys and girls will now be able to secure a copy of this inspiring book.
The Life of Sister White
SEVERAL pages in this number are devoted to an account of the life of Sister White. The articles from Elders A. G. Daniells and I. H. Evans will be read with interest. A funeral service was conducted at her home, in Elmshaven, near the St. Helena Sanitarium. This was in charge of Elders J. N. Loughborough, E. W. Farnsworth, and George B. Starr. About four hundred friends and neighbors were in attendance. The following day another service was conducted at Oakland. Elder W. C. White and Sister Sara MacEnterfer accompanied the remains to Battle Creek, Mich., where last Sabbath the final services were held in the Tabernacle. An account of this service will be given in next week's issue.
A Double Tragedy
By C. M. Snow
On Monday afternoon, July 19, there occurred one of the saddest accidents that has ever taken place at the headquarters of our work. A heavy storm passed over Takoma Park, accompanied by very sharp lightning and heavy thunder. A large and beautiful oak tree, standing in the triangular park between the General Conference and Review Office on one side and the church on the other, was struck by lightning, the bark stripped off in two wide ribbons from the top to the ground, the main stock of the tree deeply scored by the bolt, and long strips of wood were split from the trunk.
When the great cloud had passed over and it was thought safe to do so, a number of persons went over to the tree to obtain a better view of the result of the lightning's work. Among these were Elder A. G. Daniells, Brethren T. E. Bowen, L. A. Hansen, and the writer. They spent several minutes inspecting the tree, and as they were leaving, Brother A. J. S. Bourdeau, his ten-year-old daughter Marguerite, and young Edwin J. Andrews approached the tree. In about one minute from the time the first-named brethren left the tree and while Brother Bourdeau and his two young companions were still there, there came a blinding flash of lightning and a terrific crash of thunder. The lightning had struck the tree again, and these three were smitten to the ground. Brother Bourdeau and Edwin Andrews were killed instantly, and the little girl was temporarily paralyzed and considerably burned. Officials and employees of the two institutions were on the ground immediately, physicians were summoned, and heroic efforts were put forth to resuscitate the victims of the stroke. Brother Bourdeau and Brother Andrews never regained consciousness. The little girl, though rendered helpless for the time being, did not at any time lose consciousness, and seems now in a fair way to complete recovery. Brother Bourdeau leaves a wife, one daughter, and two young sons, an aged mother, and one sister (Dr. Bourdeau-Sisco) to mourn their loss. Many of the readers of the REVIEW will remember Brother Bourdeau as, at one time, one of the assistant editors of this journal. A fuller account of his life and work will be given next week.
Brother Edwin Andrews was a son of Charles M. Andrews, an employee of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, and a grandson of our first foreign missionary, Elder J. N. Andrews. The sympathy of our people, we are sure, will go out to the bereaved relatives of Brother Bourdeau and Brother Andrews, while we express thankfulness to God that no others were numbered among the victims of this sad visitation. Both the victims of this stroke were earnest and consistent Christians; and, so far as men can judge, were ready to meet the record of their lives. We pray that if there be a lesson for this people in this sorrowful occurrence, God will help us to understand it and to order our lives in harmony with its admonition.

A New Missionary for Samoa
Miss May Pontey, who for many years has been connected with our café work in Sydney, Australia, and also for some time in Auckland and Christchurch, New Zealand, left for Samoa on the twenty-fifth of May, where she will be united in marriage with Brother Neilson, of New Zealand. Thus another missionary joins the staff of workers in Samoa to hold up the light of the truth in this South Sea island group.
Workers Enter Colombia
At last workers have entered Colombia, South America. Elder B. E. Connerly and Brother H. E. Brockman left Christobal, C. Z., June 4, for Barrenquilla, Colombia, taking with them some Spanish “Practical Guide,” with which to make a start in the colporteur work. We trust this beginning may soon develop into a strong work, that the light whereof may soon shine into many darkened hearts in this republic.
Life Sketches of Mrs. Ellen G. White
By Editor
WE take pleasure in publishing the following telegraphic communication from the Pacific Press Publishing Association, dated Mountain View, Cal., July 18: “Please announce that ‘Life Sketches of Mrs. Ellen G. White,’ containing about 500 pages, will be ready in three or four weeks.

The price, in cloth, will be $1; in leather, $1.50.”
A Missionary’s Operation in Central China
Word reaches us that Brother Fred Lee, laboring practically alone in the Central China Mission field, has successfully passed through an operation for appendicitis recently. Let us not forget our missionaries, struggling as they are against great odds out in these difficult fields. They are our representatives, toiling earnestly to give the people sitting in darkness the truths which warm and enlighten our hearts. They are making great sacrifices. Shall we not enter into their sacrifices with them?
New Believers in the Bahama Islands
About fifty miles from Nassau, Bahama Islands, at Gregory Town, on the island of Eleuthera, Brother and Sister James H. Smith have been laboring. They began meetings in a schoolhouse, an interest developed, and now there are a dozen or more keeping the commandments. It has been a struggle for these new believers to give up their bad habits, tobacco using particularly, but victories have been gained, and hearts made to rejoice in the love and power of Jesus Christ, the great Deliverer from sin.
Death of Bennett Butterfield
Last week a card was received at the Mission Board office, telling of the death of Bennett, the five-year-old son of Brother and Sister C. L. Butterfield, of Korea. He was buried June 27. This death brings sorrow to more than the parents, as little Bennett was beloved by all who knew him. We assure these dear missionaries of the sincere sympathy of many other hearts across the sea in this time of their bereavement.
Elders Attend Mrs. White’s Funeral
ELDERS A. G. Daniells, I. H. Evans, G. B. Thompson, W. T. Knox, M. C. Wilcox, F. M. Wilcox, and C. S. Longacre left Washington last week to attend the funeral services of Mrs. E. G. White. Some of these brethren will leave Battle Creek after the services to fill various appointments.
