Baptisms in Korea

BROTHER W. R. SMITH writes that since the beginning of the year, fifty-five have gone forward in the ordinance of 'baptism in Korea. The message is thus finding its way to the hearts of the people of the Orient.

Walleker Family Bound for St. Thomas

Elder H. C. J. Walleker and family, of Seattle, Wash., reached Washington last week on their way to St. Thomas, West Indies, where they go to join the brethren in the East Caribbean Conference, in labor. They expect to sail August 21.

The Counterfeit Sabbath

If we should admit what so many people affirm, that “God is not particular as to the exact day to be observed for the Sabbath,” how is it that man should be so very much more particular than God, as to decide upon one particular day, Sunday, the first day of the week, and seek to compel every one to observe this day, whether he desires to do so or not, by law. Ah! something is radically wrong. And the trouble is not traceable to God, nor to his true seventh-day Bible Sabbath, incorporated into his own holy law. It is simply an effort to establish a counterfeit and rival sabbath.

A Magazine with a Mission

By W. A. Colcord

The other day an intelligent woman here in Washington, upon calling at the home of one of the United States Senators, picked up a copy of Liberty, which the Religious Liberty Bureau sends regularly to every member of Congress, and read it. One of our young sisters who embraced the truth since we came to Washington, and is now a colporteur and Bible worker in the city, going out and selling thirty copies of Liberty one day, chanced to meet this lady, who remarked that she thought this the best publication she had ever seen, and said that if she had ten thousand dollars, she would put it into this journal. From this it is evident that this magazine is making an impression upon the minds of some as they read it.

Secretary Religious Liberty Bureau.

The Church at Kingston, Jamaica

By U. Bender

THOSE who have read the appeal from Elder Strickland for help in building a church in Kingston, Jamaica, to replace the one destroyed by the earthquake, can not but feel the urgency of the case. This appeal was printed several weeks ago, and I trust that many hearts have been stirred to help the brethren and sisters of Kingston in this time of need.

These calamities are terrible things, and many times cost us much to replace that which is destroyed. We should be glad for these things, not because they destroy life and property, but because they are sure signs that the setting up of our Redeemer's kingdom is near at hand.

It is not long till this earth will break down completely, but now, while the mercies of God still hold it up that his work may be finished, we must maintain his work and memorials in different places, that the people may know what his standard is.

The church in Kingston will do all they can. They are sorry that they must call upon you at this time. They will not build for show, but that the kingdom of God may be extended among the people of Kingston, and that the healing streams of truth may flow out to many thirsty souls.

Let every one whose heart is stirred up in this matter give what he can now, for it is greatly needed. All that is sent, will be to a worthy and needy cause. It will be used to God's glory.

U. BENDER.
