SMITH.—Elizabeth Jane Page was born April 20, 1840, in Illinois, and died in Aberdeen, Wash., July 31, 1900.

Sister Smith began her Christian life in the Methodist Church, at about the age of forty; and fifteen years later she accepted present truth, and became connected with the Seventh-day Adventists. Her life as a Christian was consistent and devoted; and she gave much of her time and strength to the care of the sick. During her last illness she had a bright experience, and died in the full assurance of faith. Words of consolation were based upon Paul’s expression of faith recorded in 2 Tim. 4: 7, 8.

Inclosed find fifty cents to pay for my REVIEW. I failed to get my last week’s paper, which I was anxious to have, particularly to see the continued article entitled “The Union of Church and State.” Please send me a copy of that issue. We had a sermon at the Methodist church last Sunday, on the Sunday law. The article I refer to in the REVIEW, on the union of church and state, is as good an answer as if it were intended for that sermon.
MRS. J. A. SMITH.

Inclosed find my renewal for the REVIEW. I appreciate the cheer and encouragement that it brings to me each week. I am an isolated one, and seldom have the privilege of meeting with those of like precious faith.

MRS. M. J. WALTON.

Inclosed you will find twenty-five cents, for which please send our valuable paper, the REVIEW, to—, for two months.

The REVIEW of last week has not reached me. It is a treasure too valuable to lose, especially as that number contains the last of the articles on—. I should regard it a great loss to miss one number of the paper. The REVIEW grows richer and richer all the time.
ANNA E. WARNER.
—, MICH., Dec. 7, 1899.
We enjoyed the “REVIEW Testimony Meeting” in the issue of November 28; and if we may be allowed to speak after meeting, we will say: Just take all the good things that have ever been said or written about the dear old REVIEW, and boil them down thick. You will then have our opinion of it, after being subscribers for it for nearly forty-five years.
H. H. AND L. A. BRAMHALL.

I have been wishing for a long time to send it to him, and the other day I thought of a way in which I could do it, as I had been saving a pail of eggs to sell. So you see how it was done.
MRS. BELLE WILLIAMS.

Inclosed you will find seventy-five cents in postage, for which please send me the REVIEW six months. My husband likes the paper. He is not a professor, but likes to read the weekly news.

By Editor

We trust our State agencies will take notice of this, and make such arrangements that our Scandinavian ministers and churches can order these song-books in quantities.
CUMBERLAND MISSION CAMP-MEETING.
By Smith Sharp
The camp-meeting for eastern Tennessee will be held at Harriman, September 14-23. Those who pay full fare coming, and take a receipt from the agent, will be able to buy a ticket to return home at one third the regular fare, provided there are fifty in attendance who have secured these receipts. Each church in the Cumberland Mission field will be expected to send delegates; so that if it is decided to organize a Conference, everything will be in readiness. The ministers and laborers that usually attend the Southern camp-meetings will be in attendance, and the usual accommodations may be expected. Family tents, 12 x 14 ft., can be rented at two dollars for the entire meeting. Those coming on the morning trains, Friday, September 14, will be met at the depots. Those coming later who wish to be met at train should write me in advance, at Harriman, Tenn.
This will be a very important meeting, and we will expect not only a large gathering of our brethren from eastern Tennessee, but a good representation from eastern Kentucky. Elder Irwin has promised me that, if he can possibly arrange his appointments so that he can attend, he will be present at least a part of the time.
SMITH SHARP.
WE WISH TO START YOU INTO A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
Beginning August 15, we will send five copies of Midsummer Good Health free, to any man, woman, boy, or girl who will endeavor to sell fifty or more copies of Midsummer Good Health before October 1. This is an exceptionally fine number, and sells readily for ten cents. You can start this work on nothing.
This is the plan: Sell the five numbers we shall send you free, at ten cents each; send us the fifty cents received, for ten more copies; sell these at ten cents each, and send the dollar for twenty more copies, etc., and continue until fifty or more are sold.
When you have sold fifty copies, we will enter your name for a six-months' subscription to Good Health; if you sell one hundred, we will send it for one year to any person you may name. We will furnish you with subscription blanks with which to take yearly subscriptions, and will allow you a liberal commission. This is an excellent opportunity to start a Good Health route, and deliver a copy each month at ten cents, to the houses of those who can not, or will not, give you an order for a yearly subscription. Send us your name and address at once, and start the work of doing good in your neighborhood.

SCANDINAVIANS, ATTENTION!
By Editor
As previously announced, the Review and Herald Pub. Co. is now issuing one Swedish and one Danish quarterly, the object being to get out and scatter broadcast tracts on timely topics connected with the Third Angel's Message. So far, we have issued No. 1 in Swedish, treating on “The Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast,” and Nos. 1 and 2 in Danish, the first being a translation of Elder Smith’s “The Reign of Righteousness,” and the second a condensed translation of Elder Loughborough’s “Last-Day Tokens.”
We are glad to say that these publications are doing a good work. A sister in one of the Eastern States left a copy of the Swedish quarterly with an invalid lady whom she visited; and on her return, a week later, she found the lady rejoicing in the truth on the Sabbath question. Her verdict of this publication was that she could not see how any one could read it and not be convinced of the truth we hold on this important question. A gentleman in one of the Western States read this same number, and became so interested that he wrote for specimen copies of our Swedish paper, noticed on the last page of this number.
No. 2 of the Swedish quarterly is now ready. This is a translation of Elder A. T. Jones’s timely and excellent pamphlet “Marshaling of the Nations.” The Swedish is brought up to present developments in the far East, and contains the same maps as the English. The price is the same as the English.
We hope our State agencies and tract societies will take an interest in these Scandinavian publications, and not only be prepared to fill orders, but do all they can to give them a wide circulation.
HYMN-BOOK.
At the Scandinavian Conference held in Sioux City, Iowa, last fall, it was deemed necessary to take steps to issue a small hymn-book, one in Swedish and one in Danish, that would be especially suited for tent-meeting services. This undertaking is now accomplished in two small books, each containing 192 pages, with over 200 songs. The Swedish is called “Fridshar-pan” (Harp of Peace), and the Danish “Evangeliske Sange” (Gospel Songs).
These books contain no music, but with every song is given a number referring to music in our large hymn-books or in other hymn-books, from which the songs have been selected or

THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS
By P. T. Magan
is a live issue in the State of Montana. At two little local camp-meetings recently held there, twelve hundred copies of “Parables of Jesus, or Christ’s Object Lessons” were subscribed for by the brethren and sisters. I am told that many poor persons took as many as twenty-five copies of the book. If the brethren and sisters who attend our big camp-meetings in our large Conferences will only come up to the help of the Lord, and do as well as these poor, struggling handfuls in new fields, it will be safe to say that the one hundred thousand line in the sale of this book will be reached before the year is ended. We must get back to the old-time spirit of everybody scattering the printed page everywhere. God will help us to do it.
P. T. MAGAN.
That timely pamphlet, “The Marshaling of the Nations,” has a good start, and is going finely. Orders by the fifties, the hundreds, and even the thousands, are being received almost daily. One man alone took a thousand. It tells the secret and the end of the international entanglement in China, and will always do so, no matter how deep that tangle may become; because it is simply the truth of the word of God in that connection, drawn out and made plain. We have stated what a prominent notice was given it by the San Francisco Sunday Examiner of July 29: we can also say that the Chicago Tribune of August 5 devoted about ten inches of double-column reading space to the same subject. This is another valuable tribute to the conviction produced by the pamphlet. People who read it do see that it is the truth. Try it, and see for yourself; and give others an opportunity. They will readily pay its price—ten cents—for it, at sight of the double-page colored map of the “partitioning of the world.” Order of the Pacific Press or of the Review and Herald.
Emperor William’s Farewell to Count von Waldersee
In his farewell speech to Count von Waldersee, Emperor William expressed the wish that the count’s expedition may “turn into a firm guaranty of mutual peace for the European Powers, so that what the czar attempted last year in another field, and what we failed to do in peace, may now perhaps be attained with weapons in our hands.”
Sowing for Health
By Editor
We sincerely hope that the articles on “Sowing for Health,” both “Physical and Spiritual,” are receiving from all our readers the careful study that they deserve. We do not remember any articles that have ever before made this subject so simple and plain to all as these articles do. All have been good so far; but we can assure our readers that the ones to come really seem to get better and better. For your own good, please do not miss a single one.
Liberty and Independence for the Holy See
SUNDAY, August 19, in Rome, Archbishop Ireland assured the pope that “the Americans desire liberty and independence for the Holy See.” Possibly he may be right. He may know that this is true of the “Americans” with whom he has had much to do. When these “Americans” are refusing liberty and independence to whole peoples wherever they have a chance, and are actually supporting, by regular cash payments, slavery and polygamy, it is only to be expected that they should very much “desire liberty and independence for the Holy See.” For “he causeth the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast.”
The Philippine War Called Murder
A new monthly magazine has been established — The Expansionist — to boom the United States as a world-power. And its motto is the intensely significant statement: “Free Institutions and the Christian Religion Must Follow the Flag.” In this connection it would be unjust to withhold the following item from the letter of the special Philippines correspondent of the New York Herald, printed in the Herald of Aug. 11, 1900:—
In the last week a correspondent took a dispatch to the censor for approval. The first sentence stated that the preceding week had been the bloodiest since the war began.
The censor mildly objected to the use of the word “war.”
“There is no war out here,” he said.
“Well, what do you call it when three hundred natives have been killed in three engagements, which is what happened this last week?” asked the correspondent.
“That’s not war.”
“Well, what is it, then?” persisted the correspondent.
“That’s only murder.”
Opposition to Boys’ Military Brigades
The English Peace Association recently passed a resolution in which it said: “In the belief that the formation of boys’ brigades for teaching military drill in connection with Sunday-schools is opposed to the spirit of Christianity, and is calculated to develop in the minds of the young not only a love for military display, but also the love of war and a dislike to peaceful associations, this committee most earnestly appeals to the various Sunday-school authorities and teachers to use all legitimate means of discouraging their pupils from joining such brigades.” Pass it along.
O Arauto da Verdade
By Editor
WE have received number 1, volume I, of O Arauto da Verdade,—The Herald of Truth,—a sixteen-page monthly, in handsome cover, printed in Portuguese. Thus goes forth another messenger of the truth in the Lord’s message to the nations, kindreds, tongues, and peoples. It is printed at Buenos Ayres. We hope that our Portuguese brethren and sisters will send names and addresses, with subscription price, and contributions of money, to the office of O Arauto da Verdade, that the Third Angel’s Message may reach as many as possible of those who are of the Portuguese tongue. The address is Caixa Postal, 768, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
