Words of Truth Series, No. 26, ENTITLED “An Open Letter, and Answer to the Open Letter,”

REVIEW AND HERALD:

By John Harvey Kellogg

BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Aug. 10, 1900.

REVIEW AND HERALD:

I have recently had an opportunity to look carefully through the new volume by Prof. E. A. Sutherland, "Living Fountains." It is an excellent work, and is the best presentation of educational reform in the truest sense that I have seen. I wish it might be in every family. It should be carefully studied as a text-book by parents and all who have to do with children.

Very truly yours,

J. H. KELLOGG.

Marshalling of the Nations

Hour by hour the problem in the Orient is becoming more difficult to solve.

Day by day the nations are becoming more and more perplexed concerning the things that are coming upon the earth.

Few know the outcome, though it is plainly told in the prophecies.

“Marshalling of the Nations”

clearly shows that these things were told by the prophets of old, and also tells what the ultimate outcome will be. It is so pointed, and told so plainly, that none can misunderstand. Let every person have an opportunity to know the truth which this pamphlet presents. It is present truth now, and ever will be.

“Marshalling of the Nations” is printed in three languages,—English, Danish, and Swedish. The price is 10 cents in each language. A large number can easily be sold in any community. Order a quantity at once of your tract society, or of the—

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.

American Public Education

WRITING on the topic “American Public Education,” Dr. J. G. Holland, a noted American writer, well said: “I believe that a school, in order to be a good one, should be one that will fit men and women, in the best way, for the humble positions that the great mass of them must necessarily occupy in life. It is not necessary that boys and girls be taught any less than they are taught now. They should receive more practical knowledge than they do now, without a doubt, and less of that which is simply ornamental; but they can not know too much. An intelligent gardener is better than a clodhopper, and an educated nurse is better than an ignorant one; but if the gardener and the nurse have been spoiled for their business and their condition, by the sentiments which they have imbibed with their knowledge, they are made uncomfortable to themselves, and to those whom they serve. I do not care how much knowledge a man may have acquired in school, that school has been a curse to him if its influence has been to make him unhappy in his place, and to fill him with futile ambitions. . . . There must be something radically wrong in our educational system when youth are generally unfit for the station which they are to occupy, or are forced into professions for which they have no natural fitness.”

Elder S. H. Lane at Quarterly Meeting

ELDER S. H. LANE will be present at the quarterly meeting at the South Side Seventh-day Adventist church, Chicago, Ill., next Sabbath, Oct. 6, 1900. A full attendance on the part of the members is desired.

The Cost of Strong Drink

THERE is more poverty in the world to-day caused by strong drink than by any other enemy of mankind. One thousand dollars seems a large amount of money; one thousand thousand, or one million, seems much larger still; but such sums pale into insignificance when compared with one thousand million—one billion—dollars, the sum spent in this country for liquor, every year.

Circulating the Signs of the Times

A BROTHER living in Indiana, who is sixty years of age, says that he travels from forty to fifty miles every week, circulating the Signs of the Times. He sells about fifty copies of the paper each week, and takes quite a number of regular subscriptions besides. In the thrilling times which this world has reached, should not every Seventh-day Adventist be found doing everything he can toward increasing the circulation of our “pioneer” missionary paper? Has not the Lord been impressing upon your conscience the necessity of doing something in this work? and are you answering these calls of the Spirit of God to labor in his vineyard?

Dispute Over Chinese Peace Envoys

THE POWERS concerned in the Chinese problem are apparently yielding to the pressure being brought to bear by the United States to have the Chinese affair settled in as gentle a manner as possible. However, “the two peace envoys designated thus far by the Chinese government, will not be accepted by several of the foreign Powers.” Great Britain “has been suspicious of Li Hung Chang for many years, and especially objects to him now, on the ground that he is pro-Russian; and she will not enter into negotiations so long as the famous viceroy is in the saddle.” In the opinion of Washington authorities, “if Britain repudiates Earl Li Hung Chang, the programme for a settlement of the troubles there is as far from being intact as it was months ago, or before the legations were rescued.” Germany is also “suspicious of the fair-mindedness of Li, and would undoubtedly side with Britain.” Thus far, then, the United States is “the only Power that has unreservedly acknowledged the plenary power of Li Hung Chang as a peace envoy.” The other Powers are “keeping silent, and awaiting further developments.”

October Number of Good Health

By Editor

As month by month we look through Good Health, we more and more realize what a blessing to mankind it is, and what those miss who do not read it. The October number alone, which is just now out, will convince anybody of this. Get it, and be convinced.

The Open Door in China

A WRITER in Harper’s Weekly, September 22, says, of the assurances of the “Open Door” “demanded” and secured by the United States from the Powers, in China: “Who on earth is so simple as to suppose that such assurances are worth the paper they are written on, so soon as their provisions clash with the interests of a powerful nation?” And this for the reason that “between nations as often as between individuals, ‘might is right.’” To be sure! How could it be otherwise, when nations are composed only of individuals?

The Menace of Human Vivisection

In the Outlook of September 22 Dr. John Vedder says that “year by year the practice of human vivisection increases, not only in this country, but in England, until it has reached such proportions that it is a real menace to the existence of hospitals. . . . Instructors of medical students already tell the future physicians and surgeons of the world that disease may be regarded from two standpoints — that of the healing art, and that of experimental research. Already this is an open secret.”

And he quotes the statement of a surgeon who made a dangerous experiment: “I considered myself justified in incurring some risk in order to settle the question of its danger”!

Circulating the Hausfreund in Paraguay

A BROTHER in Uruguay ordered the Hausfreund sent to his brother in Paraguay, who, after reading it himself, loaned it to others. Brother Westphal, hearing of this, arranged to have several copies of the Hausfreund sent to Paraguay, out of the club kindly furnished him for missionary work, by the Oklahoma brethren; and now there are four families keeping the Sabbath there, and thirty other persons are interested. Brother Snyder was ordained to the ministry in Buenos Ayres, and he and his wife have gone to Paraguay to labor. These facts ought to induce others of our German brethren to circulate the Hausfreund. Indeed, why should they not induce all our people to circulate more largely all our papers?

Read the Training School Advocate

If you are at all interested in the subject of true education, you should by all means read that interesting little magazine, the Training School Advocate. Fathers, mothers, teachers, and students absolutely need this magazine each month. In case you have not already become a reader of this publication, send 50 cents, together with your name and address, to Training School Advocate, Battle Creek, Mich. Each issue contains something of interest to every intelligent reader.

“THE BIBLE TEXT-BOOK.”

By S. H. Lane

The Review and Herald Publishing Company has just issued a neat little pocket edition of Bible readings, entitled “The Bible Text-book.” This book was written by Brother O. A. Johnson. He has been president of one of our leading Conferences, teacher in Union College, and understands the truth well. “The Bible Text-Book” is indeed a book of rare merit.

It contains 208 pages, is well adapted to the side or vest pocket, and contains forty-nine Bible readings. Those on the Government of God, the Law of God, the Two Covenants, and the Sabbath Question are richly worth the price of the book, and show that Brother Johnson is well versed upon these subjects. They who know the truth well can but be instructed by the perusal of this book, and they who know it not thoroughly can not afford to let slip the opportunity of obtaining a copy of the same. The facts, figures, dates, and extracts are indeed invaluable.

The price was advertised at first to be, cloth 50 cents; leather, 75 cents; but since completing the book we have discovered that it can be sold cheaper; with not much profit to the publishers, however, but with great profit to the purchaser. The cloth edition will be sold at 30 cents a copy, and the leather binding at 50 cents. The book is not a subscription book. A discount will be made to tract societies. The book will be sent out postpaid at the price mentioned.

Every one of our ministers and Bible workers, without exception, should have a copy of this valuable work. Every student of the Bible not directly working in the cause, but preparing so to do, should not fail to get one of these books. Indeed, every family should have one.

The forty-nine readings cover as many subjects. The prophecies are fully expounded, the Third Angel’s Message is considered, and indeed it is wonderful what a compendium of knowledge the book is.

Let the orders come in. Thousands of copies should go out by mail at once. Order of your tract society, of the Review and Herald Pub. Co., or the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal. Remember the price in cloth binding is but 30 cents, and the leather 50 cents, postpaid. Now is the time to order. S. H. LANE.
