Affairs in a Snarl—the Remedy

By E. L. Paulding

An Experience

I HAD a strong sense of duty recently, which I tried to evade, and which I did evade until darkness settled down upon me so that I did not know duty from anything else. I said of this duty, “I don’t see how I can. I will try to do it next year.” I thought that I could not afford it financially. I knew that it might cause some family friction; for my wife was not in the truth. There were other reasons that came into my mind.
It was the Lord’s will that that duty should be performed, so, like Job, I was turned over to the enemy. Things got into an ugly snarl, I found myself overdrawn at the bank, and several bills unpaid that ought to have been met. Business became unprofitable. The most untoward things happened, to entangle me worse and worse financially. My vehicles broke down, my horse took sick. What little money come in was lost on a trip down town. My temper grew unbearable, and try as I would, I could not make myself do better. My wife reproached me for my evil temper, but all I could say was, “I know it, I am just an ugly brute, and I wish I could help it.” I grew tired of the sound of my own voice, it had become so harsh and unbearable.
My boy, a foster child, grew ugly and stubborn, and seemed to defy authority. He went about sullenly, and he unwillingly performed the little tasks that he had done before most cheerfully. I scolded him and punished him. He ran away, but was brought back by the neighbor at whose place he had thought to find a surcease of sorrow and of the evil influences that beset him at home. In my heart I felt more of sympathy for him than of anger; for I knew that it was not his fault so much as it was mine.
The climax of my troubles came when I fell one night, catching my knee in a gate in such a way as to nearly break the bone above the knee. It was a hard wrench, and the limb hurt me so severely that I got very little sleep or rest day or night, and was well nigh helpless. The trouble in the knee grew worse and worse as the days went by.
When I grew so helpless, I had time to reflect, and a disposition to pray and to inquire of the Lord for the cause of my troubles. This was soon revealed to me, and I remembered that I had promised the Lord that if a certain line of business prospered, I would send the boy to a church-school. I had given him a half interest in the business, with the understanding that he was to save its profits for his future education. The business had prospered, and the boy had saved quite a little sum of money, which he had deposited in the bank.
When I asked the boy if he would like to take the money and go to Fernando College, he was only too glad to go. I thought that the sum he had saved would give him a start, and the business, which bids fair to give an early profit again, would maintain him for the rest of the school year. When it came to laying my plan before my wife, there was very little opposition. She took no little trouble in fitting him out for the trip, and he got off in time for the opening of the school.
Now, I want to tell you what all this has done for me. My leg got rapidly well, my temper—well I have no temper. My voice grew soft, and I love to hear its tones again. My boy grew angelic. I wrote to Brother Owen, asking him if he could take a bad boy. He answered that he would. I wrote to him again, saying that I had expected to send him a bad boy, but strange to relate, I was about to send him a good one. Financially, things are improving, and like the house of Obed-edom, God’s blessing is upon my house.
Dear brother, are your affairs in a tangle? It may be that God wants your boy in a church-school. Anyway, inquire diligently, and he will show you duty. “O, there’s music every day, heavenly music all the way,” for those who obey duty.
E. L. PAULDING.

Reports of Progress in the Field

A REPORT from the tent company recently at Gloucester, Mass., states that “thus far there are six who appear to have taken a firm stand for the truth.” The meetings closed in Gloucester, September 11.
AT North English, Iowa, where several individuals came into the truth last winter, five more have accepted the message, and a company of nineteen persons is now ready to be organized into a church.
BROTHER J. C. STEVENS reports from Newark, N. J., where a season’s tent-meetings have recently closed, that “about twelve have taken a stand for the truth.” “Sabbath, September 10, eight souls followed their Lord in baptism. We expect to have baptism again next Sabbath, when four or five more will go forward.”
ELDER T. H. PAINTER reports from Farnham, Va., under date of September 13: “Our meetings here in the tent are still in progress, with good attendance each night. Thus far sixteen are keeping the Sabbath, others are investigating, and some we think will obey soon. The brethren are getting lumber ready for a church building.”
ELDER Geo. M. BROWN sends the following corrections to his report from Mexico published in the REVIEW of September 8: The publishing office of El Mensajero de la Verdad does not face the east, but the west. It is thirty-six feet long and eighteen feet wide. Instead of the statement, “About $1,600 from the United States is invested in this property,” we should have said, “About $1,600 United States money is invested,” etc., meaning an amount of Mexican money equivalent in value to $1,600 American money.

Report of Educational Superintendent of the Southern Illinois Conference

By L. A. Reed

The Southern Illinois Conference is a comparatively new conference, having been organized less than two years ago; and the Educational Department was organized only last summer at the camp-meeting, when an educational superintendent and an educational secretary were elected.
While the conference is not strong either in the number of its members or in finances, still something has been done in the educational work. About one year ago the church at DuQuoin decided to erect a building for church-school purposes. The conference was not asked to give any financial support, and the church promised not to incur a debt. Some land was secured, and divided into a number of lots, which were offered for sale to any of our people in the conference. From the sale of these lots adjoining the school site, enough funds were secured to finish the building, with the exception of about three hundred dollars. Believing that the brethren at DuQuoin had moved with judgment and caution, the conference raised this money, thus placing the school out of debt. Elder Taggart spent a great deal of time and labor in erecting the building and caring for its business interests, and the success of the undertaking is due in large measure to his efforts.
Professor Haughey and an able assistant have conducted a very successful school here the past year, with about forty pupils in attendance. Some improvements have been planned for the coming year in the way of providing facilities for a larger number of students, and we confidently look for a more successful school than ever the coming year.
The conference also owns forty acres of good land near Stewardson. This property was given for the purpose of an industrial school, and is valued at several thousand dollars.
During the past winter, Miss Dury has conducted a very successful school at Decatur, and Miss Nettie Burke has taught a well-attended school at Stewardson.
There are several churches in our conference where church-schools should be conducted the coming winter. Springfield should, by all means, have a school, and plans have already been set in operation looking toward this end. Peoria also should have a school, and it is sincerely hoped that one can be organized for the coming school year.
Personally, I can say that my work in the conference has been especially pleasant. I have found a blessed freedom in working for the young people, and have not only been unhindered, but encouraged at all times by the conference president in any work I had convictions should be done. I am glad for my experience in the educational work in the Southern Illinois Conference.
L. A. REED.

Christian Education

By L. A. Hoopes; Frederick Griggs

Conducted by the Department of Education of the General Conference.
L. A. HOOPES, Chairman; FREDERICK GRIGGS, Secretary.

Current Mention

— The Mexican cotton boll-weevil has made its appearance in cotton fields in Georgia.
— New York City health authorities report that the severest epidemic of typhoid fever in the city's history is now threatened there.
— Russia will enter a protest against the treaty recently concluded between Tibet and Great Britain, which amounts to a virtual protectorate by the latter power over Tibet.
— A report from London says that the problem of aerial navigation has “probably” been solved by Sir Hiram Maxim, who has invented a flying-machine which resembles a gigantic swallow.
— Going at high speed around a curve caused the derailment of a passenger-train on the Iron Mountain road near Sadula, Mo., September 27. Thirty-four passengers were injured, but by a seeming miracle there were no fatalities.
— Secretary Hay is reported to be sounding the world powers on the subject of convening another world peace congress at The Hague at an early date. Russia is said to have replied that the present time is inopportune for such a gathering.
— Labor federations are not all enjoying prosperity these days. According to Secretary Nockels, of the Chicago Federation of Labor, that organization has lost 100,000 of its members in the last two years. Its present membership is 140,000.
— Recent seismic disturbances which have caused noticeable changes in the earth's surface are reported from Tacoma, Wash. Several landslips have occurred, the level has been lowered in two Washington lakes, and in one of the lakes two small islands have been formed.
— A radical change in the nature of the marriage contract is advocated by a well-known English novelist, George Meredith. He predicts that the marriage contract of the future will be so drawn as to expire by limitation, being terminable not only by death, but by the mere lapse of a fixed period of time, say ten years. Such ideas are indicative of the moral laxity of the times.
— The local board of steamboat inspectors of New York City has made a report on the “Slocum” disaster of last June, in which they exonerate themselves, and charge the catastrophe upon the crew of the ill-fated boat. The survivors of the disaster held a meeting after this report was received, and denounced the inspectors as being largely responsible for the event. Recently a batch of “life-preservers” made by a Camden, N. J., firm, were found by government inspectors to contain iron bars put in to make the preservers of legal weight.
— It is the reported intention of the Panama Canal Commission to recommend to the government that the canal be made a sea-level one, a way having been discovered by the engineers to divert the Chagres River into the Pacific Ocean. This can be done at a cost of $16,000,000, leaving $20,000,000 free to be spent in excavating the canal, out of the $36,000,000 set aside in the estimates for the construction of canal locks.
— News of a threatened revolutionary movement in China comes from Peking. A telegram from that city says: “Foreigners lately have been much preoccupied, owing to the growing unrest in the southern part of Chili province and Shantung and Hunan provinces. They were informed at the offices of the foreign board that the agitation is largely revolutionary and anti-dynastic, thus differing from the Boxer movement of 1900, which was chiefly anti-foreign.”
— Two eminent statesmen, Hon. George Frisbie Hoar, United States senator from Massachusetts, and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, for many years a prominent figure in the Parliament of Great Britain, are among those whom death has claimed since our last issue. Another eminent American Postmaster-General Payne, is at this writing so seriously ill that his recovery is not expected. Lady Curzon, wife of the viceroy of India, is believed to have passed the crisis of her illness.
— The lull in the fighting between the Russian and Japanese forces in Manchuria continues, though the outposts of the opposing armies are still in touch. Re-enforcements are being sent forward by both Russia and Japan. Reports have come from Port Arthur stating that the garrison is running short of both food and ammunition, and that the water-supply has been cut off by the besiegers. The Japanese are maintaining a strict blockade, having apparently concluded to rely more on this means for success than upon the costly assaults which have marked the progress of the siege hitherto.
— Buddhists in China and Mongolia are calling for a “holy war” to establish a Buddhist kingdom, according to St. Petersburg dispatches, one of which says: “According to information which has been drifting eastward from the depths of Mongolia, the agitation for a holy war noted at the time of the pilgrimage to Ourga, in July last, continues. Wandering lamas are spreading the agitation not only among the Buddhists in Mongolia, but among the followers of Buddha in the Altai region of Central China, among the Russian Buriats, and even beyond the Siberian borders, and in India. According to reports at Ourga there is a general agitation among the Buddhists in favor of freeing themselves from the domination of China, some of them favoring the removal of the dalai-lama to northern Mongolia, and entering on a holy war for the establishment of a Buddhist kingdom, while others are appealingfor the protection of Russia. What effect the British expedition to Tibet and the deposition of the dalai-lama will have on the movement, is the subject of much speculation.”
— The Law and Order League of Lexington, Ky., is creating much disorder in that city by an attempt at a rigid enforcement of the Kentucky Sunday law. Beginning with October 1, all forms of secular work in the city were ordered suspended on Sunday, including livery stables, milk wagons, ice wagons, barber shops, and all kinds of markets, and the newspaper offices were notified that prosecution would follow any Sunday work by the employees there. The newspaper publishers and the liverymen began a fight against the crusade so far as it touches them, by getting an injunction restraining the city and chief of police from interference with their business, and many other lines of business have announced an intention of fighting the law. A grand jury to which the Law and Order League appealed drew up indictments against the mayor, chief of police, and the police commissioners. It is evident that if this crusade is enforced by the police as rigidly as the Law and Order League intends, very much of the energy of the police department will be dissipated in the work of spying out and bringing to court the many individuals who will be doing more or less secular work or indulging in various forms of worldliness on Sunday, leaving the really criminal element in the city more free to accomplish their nefarious designs.

Educational Department of West Michigan Conference

By J. G. Lamson

It is scarcely necessary for me to add anything to that portion of the report made by our president relative to the church-schools. As he stated, we have had in operation during the last year twenty-three schools, and the average term has been a little over six months. Over six hundred children have been enrolled, and including Cedar Lake Academy and the preparatory school and college at Battle Creek, over seven hundred and fifty young men and women and children have been in our denominational schools in West Michigan this last year.
Under God, who has abundantly blessed the work, the credit should be given the former superintendent, as I took that office only last January, and there have been no new schools established since that date.
We are on the best of terms with the public schools, and with school officers. I believe that we may continue to be so if we will insist that our teachers shall be just as well prepared for the work as the public school teachers. Our schools should be the best on earth, but we can not expect them to be so unless we raise the standard of qualification for the teachers.
Parents have sometimes said to me, “My daughter failed in her examination for a public school certificate, but I think she would be able to teach a church-school.” That statement is a fraud. I would not give a license to a teacher to teach a church-school who could not pass an examination for a public school.
That is not to say that I would have the church-school teacher pass an examination before the public examiners before taking a church-school, nor that she should be required to pass all the subjects demanded by the public examiners, but it is to say that our examinations should be just as severe, and the standard just as high as those of the public school; yes, and even more should be required.
The complaints against our church-schools will cease in great measure when competent teachers are found for all the schools that desire to start. The difficulty has been to find those willing to take up the work. We complain that we can not get our own teachers from the public school work. That difficulty will cease to exist when we are able to pay our teachers what they should receive, and pay them just as surely as the pay-day comes.
The uncertainty heretofore existing as to length of term, amount of pay, and renewal of the school has hindered some of our best teachers from taking up the denominational work. The work is onward in our conference, and we are full of courage in this branch of the Lord's work.
J. G. LAMSON.
