Important Special Notices in This Week's Supplement

By Editor

Some important “special notices” appear in our supplement this week. Don’t overlook them.

Professor F. W. Field Arrives Safely in Japan

Professor F. W. Field reports the safe arrival of himself and family in Japan, November 10.

The Readings for Next Week.

If any church elder has not received the Readings for the Week of Prayer, he should send a postal card at once to his State tract society. Any who will not be able to attend the services at which the Readings are read may secure a personal copy by addressing the State tract society, or the Mission Board, 267 West Main St., Battle Creek, Mich.

Naval Board Condemns Rear-Admiral Schley's Wartime Conduct

The naval board of inquiry which has been investigating the conduct of Rear-Admiral Schley as commander in American waters during the late war with Spain, has made its report to the American public, and condemns the rear-admiral on eleven “counts,” or points, which, summed up, amount to a statement that Rear-Admiral Schley was an untrustworthy, unenterprising, disobedient, dilatory, and generally incompetent officer during the time in question. Such treatment of a commander who led the forces in one of the most brilliant of naval victories, by the government for whom that victory was won, is probably without parallel anywhere in history.

History - Making.

The Jews who walked and talked with Jesus of Nazareth were looking for the Messiah, but in Him they saw only the carpenter's son. Since they recognized Him as only a man, He could not be to them a saviour. As a church we, Seventh-day Adventists, pride ourselves on our ability to read the handwriting of God in the history of nations. We stand before the people of the world as teachers of history and prophecy. Are we as keen in the interpretation of events in which we have a part to act as we are in history made by other people? If we were, would we not to-day read into the denominational history of the past few months a much deeper significance? I have thought of the question often, and asked myself, Am I as blind as the brethren of Jesus?

The matter is well illustrated by the work of our last General Conference. Previously to that meeting we had reached a place where further progress seemed impossible. Then were given to God's people the plans for reorganization. To me this means as much for our people as did the organization of the camp of Israel at Sinai for them.

God has come to us, plainly saying that He desires to walk in our midst. His pillar of cloud overshadows this people. There is a mighty work of conquest before us. One man alone cannot lead the people. There should be leaders—captains of tens, of hundreds, and of thousands—throughout the camp of Israel. Where are they? The success of the new organization will never be complete until there are hundreds of men ready to carry forward the work of the denomination.

On the one hand, we are confronted by these facts,— facts which are actually stupendous. On the other hand, we find that just at the time that light came on methods for carrying on the work of the denomination, the way opened for our oldest educational institution to leave Battle Creek. Year after year we had waited for the lifting of the pillar. God had promised that He himself would give the signal for the advance. Why did He bid us go forward at the time He did? Undoubtedly there is a reason, and to us is given the privilege of tracing the divine handwriting in these events.

The need of workers has always been great; with reorganization it would be greater. Battle Creek College has prepared many workers, but the training-school was in the future to have placed upon it greater responsibilities. It must give a different training; it must do more than ever before. This is the reason for the change in its location; this is the reason the change was made when it was made. Reorganization meant a scattering of power rather than a centralization of authority. How fitting, then, that the institution which trains laborers should be the first to heed the call to leave the city.

Men now standing at the head of the work see these things, and are daily praying that the Spirit of God may move upon the hearts of men and women to prepare to fill positions of responsibility. There are men bound down by business who should be devoting their entire energy to the advancement of the Third Angel's Message. I know that this is true, for as I write, there is a letter before me from a man who makes this confession. The powers of darkness will hold all who will not make a desperate effort to free themselves. To-day salvation depends upon forsaking all. Nothing should hold us back.

So keenly has the situation appealed to the General Conference, that Elder Daniells and Professor Prescott will both devote much of their time to work with the students in Emmanuel Missionary College during the winter term. Never has more faithful effort been made to offer students the advantages of an education. Ministerial laborers, canvassers, teachers, medical missionaries—all will find exceptional advantages during the coming winter.

We shall be glad to correspond with any who contemplate taking work. The winter term opens Jan. 8, 1902. Write us of your aspirations and plans. Address E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich.

The Educational Outlook for 1902.

By M. Bessie De Graw

It is customary at the close of one year and the ushering in of a new twelve-months to utter a prophecy concerning various matters. Such predictions sometimes consider matters in a most optimistic light, and there is danger that the pictures may be overdrawn. It is, therefore, a fortunate combination of circumstances that enables those who are connected with a certain phase of the educational work to see movements well under way, before the close of the present year, which bid fair to bring rich returns during the months that follow. My mind is directed especially to the field which is now open to the Advocate of Christian Education, our educational journal.

Many readers of the REVIEW are acquainted with the Advocate. It has accompanied every church-school teacher; sometimes it has preceded and prepared the way for a school for the children. At any rate, it is the children's friend, and during its three years' life it has advocated strongly the truths of Christian education. It has pleaded with the parents, it has appealed to the church-members, it has encouraged teachers.

With the opening of the year 1902, the mission of the Advocate will be extended; henceforth it combines the work formerly done by the Sabbath-school Worker and the Advocate. This combination carries with it a peculiar significance. It does not mean the death of one paper, nor the triumph of one journal over another. It means that henceforth two great forces—the Sabbath-school and the day-school—will be united. Heretofore the Sabbath-school has struggled against terrible odds. For one short hour during the week it has battled to stem the tide which throughout the week carried the children farther and farther away from port.

The Sabbath-school has been considered the nursery of the Church, but it was working practically alone and unaided by the Church. The result was inevitable. There is scarcely a church in our broad land that does not bear painful witness to the fact that the children and youth have drifted away from the fold.

Last summer, during the Educational Conference, Elder Daniells spoke of the hope which filled his breast when about to return to America. He had been away fifteen years,—time enough for those who were boys and girls when he left, to grow to manhood and womanhood. Had those who were children in our churches when he left for Australia, developed into workers, there would be to-day between twenty and thirty thousand missionaries in our ranks.

An ancient Jewish proverb reads, “Jerusalem was destroyed because the education of her children was neglected.” Likewise to-day the Church confesses its inability to meet the demand for efficient workers with those same words, “The Church is weak because the education of the children has been so long neglected.”

The organization of church schools has marked an era in the work of our denomination. A foundation stone has been laid, and the structure reared thereon will be enduring. If Christian education is a gift offered to every child, then it is time for Sabbath-school and church school to unite in the effort to train the children for the kingdom of God. And this is what is now being done. The Sabbath-school Association and the management of the Advocate will combine their energies to make the Advocate a purely educational journal. It will be the object henceforth to increase the influence of the Sabbath-school as an educational factor.

Sabbath-school classes should be conducted in accordance with the laws of mental growth, just as truly as church schools should follow these lines. The work of one school should supplement that of the other; teachers in both should be thoroughly trained, and should be perfectly familiar with the methods of Christian education.

Parents desire to know these same things. By uniting the Advocate and the Worker it is hoped to increase the good results of both church and Sabbath-schools, to bind teachers and parents together by making their interests more truly one, and to make of the union a journal which will be indispensable to every parent, teacher, and minister.

It is in view of these facts that I say that this change is one of vital interest to all. It is when I see by faith some of the things which must be accomplished in a very short time, when I see your boys and your girls carrying the burden of the work, that I feel like taking you into the secret of these movements, and asking for the hearty co-operation of every lover of the children.

The combination will be made in the January issue, which will be ready for circulation about the 25th of December. The price of the journal remains the same, 50 cents per year. M. Bessie De Graw.

Colorado Sanitarium Request to Our Brethren in the Northern States.

By W. L. Hoover

We wish to solicit your services in assisting us to build up our winter patronage. During the summer months we are overrun with patronage from the Southern States, residents of which have discovered that our climate is mild and comfortable in comparison with theirs.

It is a fact that our winter climate is just as superior to Eastern and Northern winters, as our summers are to the average Southern summer; and all we desire is an opportunity to advise with those who will be particularly interested in the fact. Now brethren, each of you can easily help us reach such persons by sending us at once the names of individuals in your locality who are either sick or indisposed, and who have the means to improve their condition by change of scene and climate.

The Colorado climate is certainly one of the finest in the world. The impression prevails to some extent that our winters are severely rigorous, but such is not the case at all. In summer the days are seldom hot; it is quite unusual to see the temperature as high as ninety degrees; but this, owing to the dryness of the atmosphere, causes less discomfort than would a temperature of eighty degrees in a lower altitude. The winters are mild, sunny, and genial, there seldom being a day during which the most feeble invalid cannot, with comfort, walk or sit out of doors. These are features which are enjoyed and appreciated by invalids, and those who need the benefits of an outdoor life.

There is no reason why residents of Northern States should not come here to escape the rigors of the cold winters, even as those from Southern States come in summer to escape the excessive heat. With all these natural advantages, we feel that we should be doing more for humanity than we are at present, so we desire to reach out our hands to those who need our help, and we ask you to come to our assistance in order that we may accomplish the most in the least possible time.

Address all communications to the Colorado Sanitarium, Boulder, Colo. W. L. HOOVER.

Nonresident Members of Boulder Church Asked to Report

All nonresident members of the Boulder (Colo.) church will please report at once to the clerk, Mrs. Lydia L. McCamley, Mapleton Ave., Boulder, Colo.

Rural Health Retreat Stockholders.

All persons owning stock in the Rural Health Retreat Association of California are entitled, upon the transfer of said stock, to receive a life membership in the California Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association, the new incorporation organized to take the place of the Rural Health Retreat Association. Promptness in sending in stock is very desirable, as it will expedite the transfer to the new corporation. Address E. E. Parlin, Secretary Cal. M. M. & B. A., 1436 Market St., San Francisco, Cal.

Workers for the South Wanted.

By W. J. Stone

Who will respond? Many times the Lord’s servant has spoken about the South as a destitute field, and has said that more laborers were needed.

The Tennessee River Conference is now very much in need of two consecrated Bible workers. Our work must suffer a great loss if we do not secure these workers at once. Now is the best season of the year for persons from the North to come South. Sister Sweet, who came from Ohio last spring, is working at Memphis, and has had success in her work. Souls have accepted the truth under her labors. She has had good health, although she came in the most unfavorable time of the year.

The South needs workers of experience, those who have had success in their labors elsewhere. Persons at least twenty-five years old would be better adapted to our work here. Are there not those in some of our old Conferences upon whom the Lord has been laying a burden for the work in the South? Is not this call the voice of God to you? If you feel that it is, please write to me at once, stating your desires, experience in the work, etc. There is no better field anywhere than the Southern. And the fact that it has been neglected, and that God is calling for laborers, should be a strong incentive to draw our consecrated workers in this direction. We shall pray that God may select and send us just the proper ones for this field, that His work may go forward. Address all communications to me at Franklin, Ky. W. J. STONE.

Southern Union Conference, Attention!

By R. M. Kilgore

The meeting of the Southern Union Conference will be held at Nashville, Tenn., instead of at Graysville, Jan. 3-12, 1902. On account of the condition of Sister White’s health, she has written that she cannot attend the Conference if it is held at Graysville; but if it is held at Nashville, she may be able to be present at some of the meetings. This is desirable.

The important interests at Nashville demand attention. This can be best secured by the delegates being on the ground. The Tennessee River Conference and the brethren at Nashville have arranged to entertain all who attend. Rooms, bedsteads, springs, and mattresses will be provided. All must bring their own bedding, such as pillows, sheets, blankets, and comfortables, also towels. Those intending to come to the meeting should write to W. O. Palmer, 1025 Jefferson St., Nashville, Tenn., so that provision may be made for all. Reduced rates are arranged for the meeting at Nashville, on the certificate plan, by W. O. Palmer.

The Conference will begin Friday, Jan. 3, 1902, at 10 A. M. We hope all the delegates will be in their seats at this time. The time is short. All should act promptly. We must earnestly urge our Conference officers to immediately forward their list of delegates and their statistics as called for in our correspondence with them, to the Secretary, C. L. Kilgore, Graysville, Tenn.

Midwinter Good Health.

By Editor

The Midwinter Good Health, 1901, bids fair to be the best number of the best health journal ever published. It will be an epitome of everything that goes to make up Good Health, and good health. In this one number you can find out why Good Health opposes the use of tea, coffee, meat, tobacco, and alcohol; why it advocates the use of water in the treatment of disease; why it takes radical and advanced ground on the question of diet; why, by following its directions and living up to its principles, you may live and prosper a hundred years—if you begin in time.

Besides this it offers a splendid array of special articles, of which the following are the most notable:—

An article by the editor, Dr. J. H. Kellogg, on “The Mystery of Life;” another about “Baths That Can Be Given in Private Homes.”

Article entitled a “Model Home,” by Dwight H. Perkins, a well-known architect of Chicago, illustrated by drawings of the model house, by the architect. Mr. Perkins will give special attention to the hygienic features of this house—the ventilation, heating, closets, etc.

Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, Ph. D., Junior Dean and Professor of Physiology in the Northwestern University Medical School of Chicago, will contribute an article entitled “Is Alcohol a Food?” Dr. Hall is recognized as an authority on this and kindred subjects, and whatever he says will command attention.

Mrs. E. E. Kellogg, who needs no introduction to our readers, being widely known and loved for her wise and helpful writings upon all topics relating to child culture, will contribute a paper on “Wholesome Merry Making.” Dr. Kate Lindsay, another old and valued friend, will write of “Common Diseases of Children in Winter,” giving from her ripe experience practical and explicit directions as to the treatment of these diseases.

“The Building of a Dress,” “Personality in Disease,” and “Diseases Common in Winter,” are other appropriate topics.

Dinah Sturgis will describe a beautiful “Maternity Dress,” with one of her charming illustrations.

Many of these articles will be illustrated, not for the sake of the illustration, but because the illustrations are of practical use.

Besides these technical features, there will be a wonderfully interesting article on “The Porto Ricans,” by Mrs. W. H. Howe, beautifully illustrated with half tones.

The frontispiece of this remarkable Midwinter Number is a reproduction of the famous painting by Farquharson, entitled “Leaving the Hills.”

Mary Henry Rossiter contributes a unique and original feature,—a poem entitled “A Cup of Tea.”

We have not mentioned the Editorials and the Answers to Correspondents, which form perhaps the most characteristic single feature of Good Health, and which alone are in one issue worth many times the subscription price, which is $1.

No pains has been spared in making this Midwinter Number the best and most appropriate number of Good Health that we have issued. Especial pains has been taken to prepare articles that will appeal to ministers, doctors, lawyers, professional and business men; and articles for the home that will be helpful to mothers. You can do no better work in your missionary efforts than to see that a copy of the special Midwinter Number is in the hands of all your neighbors and friends.

Send your order at once for the number of copies required for missionary use, through your tract society, or the Good Health Pub. Co. When ordered in quantities of ten or more, the price is five cents per copy, postpaid. Address Good Health Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The Work at Nashville.

Some weeks ago a call was made for fifty $100 contributions to assist us in purchasing necessary machinery equipment, to provide in part a working capital, and for the purchasing of a stock of paper and other material to put into books. To meet the demands of this peculiar field, it is necessary to publish large editions of small books, and to do this we must have sufficient material and adequate facilities.

We are grateful indeed for the help that has come to us in response to this appeal, and that all may know how much is yet needed to make up the sum required, we append the names of those who have thus far responded:—

George B. Thompson.................. $100 00 Mrs. Carrie Thompson.................. 150 00 Elder H. A. St. John.................. 100 00 Mrs. M. A. Loper.................. 100 00 A friend.................. 100 00 Jonathan Richart.................. 250 00 Ida E. Richart.................. 250 00 Wm. Hurlock.................. 500 00 S. W. Hastings and wife.................. 100 00 Chas. Briggs.................. 100 00 $1,750 00

In addition to this amount some smaller sums have been received, which are none the less appreciated.

Feeling confident that the full sum of $5,000 would come in, we have gone forward in our preparation for the work to be done. A stock of paper and working material has been purchased, and will be put into books as fast as possible. Machinery has also been added, thus giving us the facilities actually necessary at the present time.

We have enjoyed much of God's blessing since the work on our building was begun. At the outset we had less than one hundred dollars, but we had confidence that if we were obedient to God's way,— to “plan by faith, work by faith, and not go into debt,”— He would open the way before us. To His praise, we can now report that the building is completed, free from debt. We feel to say, “This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.”

Now, brethren, we are in urgent need of the remainder of the five thousand dollars called for. The payments on the machinery and paper stock recently purchased, we have arranged to meet as the money comes in. We are confident that God will impress those of you who have means, to respond to this call. We also ought to have a fund to aid in furnishing a stock of books, tracts, and pamphlets, so that the office can be brought to the highest point of efficiency, and thus meet the purpose for which it was established.

If you feel prompted to aid at this time, please address the undersigned.

SOUTHERN PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION.

1025 Jefferson St., Nashville, Tenn.

Correspondence - Study Department.

THE best means for reaching our young people has been a deep problem for the Church. Again and again we have read the statement so familiar to all: “There should be general education of all its [church] members, and all our youth should be permitted to have the blessings and privileges of an education at our schools, that they may be inspired to become laborers together with God.”

It has said all; and yet we knew that only a part—and that a small part—were actually reaping the benefits of the schools. Not long ago a movement was begun, and young people’s societies were organized. Then it was found that unless these could be made educational, there would be no lasting results. The question was again raised, “How can education—Christian education—be brought to the young people?” There are to-day hundreds who express a desire for a training which would make them efficient workers, but they have not the means to take a college course.

It has been decided by the Educational Department of the General Conference to conduct a school of correspondence in connection with Emmanuel Missionary College. Work will be offered in all the common branches, in history, Bible, physiology, and Bible hygiene, stenography, and proof-reading. All subjects will be taught with one object in view—the preparation of missionaries.

The Sanitarium is also offering work by correspondence in medical missionary lines, and the two schools will co-operate, thus offering to our young people one of the best opportunities for home education which has ever been given.

Work by correspondence is not wholly a substitute for work with a teacher, but it will help young people in their efforts for self-improvement, and render their stay in school much shorter than under other circumstances.

Some of the advantages of work in the Correspondence-Study Department are:—

Personal instruction.
Accuracy of statement.
Thoughtful reading, which leads to the asking of intelligent questions.
Studies pursued without leaving home duties.
Work wholly independent.
Expenses light.

In speaking of the value of a correspondence course, one instructor of wide experience says: “The correspondence student must carefully and thoughtfully sift out definite material for himself, and give his opinion of it. This calls for an amount of self-reliant effort that is among the best results of study.” “More sane questions are asked by the student in a correspondence course than by the same student in a resident course.”

The Correspondence-Study Department opens Jan. 1, 1902. A handbook describing the methods of conducting the work, subjects offered, and expenses, will be sent upon application. Address Emmanuel Missionary College, Correspondence-Study Dept., Berrien Springs, Mich.

Obituaries

“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.

FRENCH.—Mrs. Josephine French was born Oct. 16, 1852; died Nov. 13, 1901, of congestion of the stomach, after an illness of one week. She leaves a husband, a son, and a daughter. She was a devoted Christian, loving the truth, which she accepted a few years ago, and was always a regular attendant at Sabbath-school, prayer-meeting, and church. Funeral services were conducted by Elder Bartlett, using Rev. 14:13. MRS. ELLEN GRESS.

CATES.—Died of heart-disease Nov. 2, 1901, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sarah Lankey, my beloved father, William P. Cates, aged 60 years, 8 months, 29 days. He joined the Seventh-day Adventist church at Kingston, Minn., over twenty-five years ago. A few years later he joined the Dassel (Minn.) church, where he held membership until within a few months, when he united at Kimball. He leaves a wife and eight children. He died fully trusting in his Saviour. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. A. Edgar (Presbyterian), of Colfax. WINNIE CATES.

WRIGHT.—Died at the home of her daughter in North Loup, Neb., Sept. 30, 1901, my dear mother, Mrs. Julia A. Wright, aged 84 years. Mother had been a great sufferer and very feeble for several years, yet bore it all patiently. She accepted the truths of the Third Angel’s Message in 1859 under the labors of Elder T. M. Steward. She lived a humble, devoted Christian life, loved by all who knew her. She loved the prayer-meeting, and it was held at our home for some time that she might enjoy its privileges, and her earnest prayers and live testimonies were an inspiration to all. Elder O. Babcock (Seventh-day Baptist) conducted the funeral service, an Adventist minister not being available. MRS. L. M. CHAFFEE.

THAYER.—Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. Beaumont, near Highland, Mich., Nov. 13, 1901, Sister Thayer. She was born Jan. 21, 1816. More than thirty-five years ago she became acquainted with the views of Seventh-day Adventists, and remained faithful and true to them until the day of her death. Four children with their families survive her. The funeral was conducted in the Congregational church at Highland, by the writer. They having no minister at present, we were invited to speak to them Sunday evening. They then extended an invitation for us to come and hold meetings with them. We all felt that this opening was due to Sister Thayer’s godly life. Thus she, being dead, speaketh, and her works do follow her. W. OSTRANDER.

WHITNEY.—Sarah J. McCoy was born Aug. 23, 1826, at Chillicothe, Ohio; was married to J. W. Green in 1845. Eight children were born to them—five sons and three daughters. For a time they made their home in Illinois. In 1862 they made the weary journey across the plains in wagons, reaching California five and one-half months later. Three of their children died in infancy, and in February, 1864, Mrs. Green was bereft of the companion of her youth. Her native energy enabled her to take up the double burden thus made necessary, and faithfully she toiled for the fatherless family left in her care; and they have risen up to call her blessed. In 1868 she married D. P. Whitney, who survives her, and is left at the age of ninety-three to tread life’s pathway alone. She with her husband accepted the Seventh-day Adventist faith in 1873, under the labors of Elder J. N. Loughborough. To this faith she maintained a firm adherence till her death, which occurred Sabbath, Oct. 26, 1901. The funeral services were conducted by Elder Walakes (Seventh-day Adventist), assisted by the resident pastor of the M. E. church; and we laid her away in the Kirkland Cemetery, to rest until the Life-giver returns to awake the dead who have died in the Lord. Mother Whitney, as she was lovingly called, lived to see one daughter and several grandchildren converted to the faith she loved so well; and with her work well done, she quietly lay down to rest. MRS. A. F. COATS.
