PARK.—Harry Park was born near Owosso, Mich., April 4, 1872, and died in Marlboro County, South Carolina, Aug. 1, 1915. He became a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when he was ten years of age, and his highest aim in life was to do something for his Master. We came to South Carolina over five years ago, to engage in selling our literature, and spent nearly two years in that work. Mr. Park was unable to continue for a while on account of poor health, and had just begun working again when taken sick with malarial fever. The Saviour was precious to him in his last sickness. He was laid to rest in our church cemetery at Cherokee, S. C. His wife, three brothers, and four sisters are left to mourn. MRS. HARRY PARK.

BEDOISEAU.—Eugenie Bedoiseau, formerly Forges, was born in France. She came to New York, was married to Mr. Etienne Rey, and then settled in Montreal, where she lived till her death, Sept. 22, 1915, at the age of 68 years. Five years ago she was married to Mr. J. B. Bedoiseau, from France, who survives. Our sister embraced the present truth in 1897, under the labors of Elder D. T. Bourdeau. We believe that she will rise at the first resurrection. JEAN VUILLEUMIER.

WILCOX.—Betty Walston Wilcox, wife of Daniel Wilcox, was born in Hinesburg, Vt., Feb. 7, 1838, and died Sept. 3, 1915. She was the daughter of James and Roxana Walston. Her only son died six years ago. For more than fifty years Sister Wilcox was a faithful Seventh-day Adventist.

The funeral services were conducted at her late home, September 6, the writer officiating. C. J. RIDER.

BEEBE.—Elsie Amy Beebe died Sept. 4, 1915, at her sister's home, in Los Angeles, Cal., where she went six months previously in the hope of regaining her health. Sister Beebe was born Jan. 3, 1894, and about five years ago was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She died with a firm belief that she will come forth in the first resurrection. She leaves a mother, four brothers, and three sisters. After the funeral services at Modesto, the body was borne to the Ceres cemetery, four miles away, and laid to rest. E. E. GARDNER.

THOMPSON.—Isaac O. Thompson died Aug. 22, 1915. He was born in Batavia, N. Y., March 21, 1832, and was married in 1854 to Miss Harriet Chase, who died ten years ago. Brother and Sister Thompson accepted the message under the labors of Elders Andrews and Lawrence. Though for twelve years Brother Thompson had been totally deaf, he could not be induced to remain away from the church, and it was at the church in Wichita, Kans., while looking up into the minister's face, that he was stricken with heart failure. He lingered only a few hours, and now rests with the faithful of all ages, awaiting the call of the Life-giver. Three children and many friends are left to mourn. For fifty-two years Brother Thompson was a weekly reader of the REVIEW. G. R. HAWKINS.

WALTERS.—On September 11 funeral services were conducted over the remains of Willard B. Walters, in Columbus, Ohio. Brother Walters has for the past thirty years been a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. His zealous activity in warning the people of the nearness of the second coming of Christ caused him to be known by all classes as “the get-ready man.” He felt that his was a call to warn the multitudes, and he used the personality which God had given him to accomplish this purpose. Those who were most intimately acquainted with him well remember that on all occasions his conversation was enriched with expressions of praise to God for his goodness. His faith in God and in the ultimate triumph of his cause was ever strong, continuing to his last moments of consciousness. The testimony of his wife is that during all the fifty years of their married life, so far as she can remember, he never arose from his bed in the morning without kneeling at the bedside in prayer. He was born June 14, 1842, in Milton, Pa., and died Sept. 8, 1914. During the Civil War he served as a member of the Eleventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. In the year 1865 he was married to Miss Jennie Ephlin, and to them were born four children. The surviving relatives are, his wife; one daughter, Miss Ida M. Walters, of Columbus, Ohio; and two sons, J. B. and W. B. Walters, of Washington, D. C. H. A. WEAVER.

FINCH.—Olive Maria Finch fell asleep in Jesus Sept. 4, 1915, at her home, near Gretna, Kans. She was born in Scruples, N. Y., May 7, 1852, and at the age of twelve accepted the call of the Lord to this truth, and was baptized by Elder James White in Battle Creek, Mich. She remained a faithful Christian until death. Feb. 29, 1876, she was united in marriage with J. T. Hallock. Eight children were born to them, six of whom survive. The presence of her husband and all her children comforted her in her last hours. E. T. WILSON.

BAILEY.—Arthur C. Bailey was born in Crow Wing, Minn., May 24, 1877, and died in Lincoln, Neb., April 22, 1915. While working near an open elevator shaft, he was struck on the head by the descending elevator. Death was instantaneous. His wife, two little daughters, and other relatives are left to mourn. Brother Bailey was a model husband and father, a true friend, and an earnest Christian. He was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and funeral services were conducted in the church of that denomination in Osceola, Iowa. MRS. A. C. BAILEY.

PEYTON.—Ilda Hazel Smith-Peyton was born in Buchanan County, Iowa, June 3, 1890, and died in Hughson, Cal., Sept. 1, 1915. About three years ago she accepted present truth, and a short time before her death her husband followed her in baptism. The deceased was a devout, God-fearing, Christian woman, loved by all who knew her. She leaves a husband, a three-year-old son, a father and a mother, one brother, and three sisters to mourn their loss. We laid her to rest, believing that she will meet us in the first resurrection. J. W. RICH.

OLDS.—Julia A. Olds was born in Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 6, 1839, and fell asleep in Glendale, Cal., Sept. 18, 1915. Sister Olds was the wife of Elder C. W. Olds, who for fifty years was a laborer in the cause of God. In the manner of her decease an often-expressed desire was fulfilled; namely, that her life might terminate without lingering illness. She wished to sleep beside her husband a little while, till the resurrection. Five daughters mourn the loss of their mother. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” G. W. REASER.

CURDY.—Alexander Clark Curdy was born July 28, 1905, in Monett, Mo., and died in Cape Haitien, Haiti, Sept. 13, 1915. When his father and mother answered the call of the General Conference to help spread the third angel's message in Haiti, he was the eldest of their three children to go with them. Clark was taken sick with fever on Sabbath, September 4, and at the close of the tenth day, died. His last prayer was the Lord's Prayer, repeated, while unconscious, as far as the words “the power.” While he is greatly missed by his parents and brothers and by his friends, they look forward to a new heaven and a new earth, and yearn for the new home which will not be incomplete. A. F. PRIEGER.

JORGENSEN.—Flora Marie Jorgensen was born in Lakeview, Mich., Oct. 23, 1886, and departed this life at the home of her parents, near Lakeview, Sept. 19, 1915. At the age of thirteen she was converted and joined the Seventh-day Adventist church at Gowen, Mich. She attended the Cedar Lake Academy and the Mount Vernon College, after which she taught school for several years. In May, 1914, she was graduated from the training course for missionary nurses, at Mount Vernon, Ohio. Last year she was engaged as teacher of the Traverse City church school, but had to resign on account of failing health. The last sad rites were held at the home of her parents. We laid her to rest in Pine Cemetery, near Lakeview, to await the coming of the Life-giver. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Jer. 15:9 and Rev. 14:13. R. U. GARRETT.

GERMAN, DANISH, AND SWEDISH TRACTS

Complete Lists Topically Arranged

The recent reduction of almost 50 per cent in the prices of tracts in the German, Danish, and Swedish languages ought to encourage all to circulate them by the thousand. Furthermore, the lists have now been made almost entirely uniform with the English, making it very easy to select and order just the tracts desired. Our English-speaking people will find this a great advantage. In the topically arranged list below, price in language column indicates tract in that language. Slight difference of price on any one tract is due to the difference in number of pages. Send your order to your tract society. On orders for less than 10 cents include two cents extra for postage.

TRACT CIRCULATION

A TRACT has often been the means of saving a soul. Think of it! that which is worth more than all the world, saved by a tract costing perhaps one cent! Who would not like to be the one to give that tract? “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”

When we hand a tract to a friend or send one in a letter, we cannot tell what the results will be, but the Lord will water the seed sown and cause it to yield fruit to his glory. What a great surprise will be enjoyed in the kingdom when the faithful missionary workers meet those who shall have been saved through their missionary efforts!

To make the work of tract distribution easy and effective, a special selection has been made of our best missionary tracts, and these have been arranged in envelopes numbered from one to ten for a systematic work. Below is the list:—

What to Do With Doubt 1. The Name Justified by Faith Prayer 2. Winning of Margaret Jesus Died for You We Would See Jesus 3. Can We Know? Second Coming of Christ Waymarks to the Holy City 4. Is It Armageddon? The Eastern Question Signs of Our Times 5. The Perpetuity of the Law of God The Law in Christ How Esther Read Her Bible 6. Elihu on the Sabbath Which Day and Why New Testament Sabbath 7. Why Not Found Out Before Is Sunday the Sabbath? Thoughts for the Candid 8. Rich Man and Lazarus Tormented Forever and Ever Spiritualism, Source and Power 9. Gospel Remedy for Present-Day Isms Is Man Immortal? Is the End Near? 10. Present Truth Temporal Millennium

Every family should have one or more of these packages of tracts, and be ready for every opportunity to use them where they will do the most good. A sample package can be procured for only 25 cents.

The Testimony of Early Writers

By Editor

IN some unaccountable way there crept into a recent number of the REVIEW an error which we greatly regret. In an article from one of our esteemed contributors there was given a quotation from the writings of the so-called Fathers of the early church, which is regarded by many credible writers as spurious. In this number, by request of the editors, Brother C. P. Bollman considers the credibility and authority of the testimony of these early writers. This article is well worth reading, and preserving for future reference.

Relief Reaches Workers in Persia

A post card from Brother F. F. Oster, of Persia, dated August 24, reports everything quiet in the region of Maragha, where our workers are located, though naturally great unrest prevails among the people. Brother Oster reports that a remittance had just reached him from the treasurer of the General Conference. “We were indeed glad for it,” he says, “as we were without funds.” Through special funds given for the purpose of helping in regions such as this, the General Conference treasury has been able to supply timely help at various points where workers were cut off from regular sources of supply.

The Editor’s Pacific Coast Trip

By Editor

THE editor of the REVIEW left Washington this week for the Pacific Coast, where he will attend the meetings of the fall council at Loma Linda during the month of November. He expects to visit en route several sanitariums and schools, and will have some notes of interest to present in connection with these institutions. He will also have many items of interest to report in connection with the important meeting to be held at Loma Linda. During the editor’s absence Prof. L. L. Caviness, with the assistance and counsel of Elder C. P. Bollman, will have charge of the REVIEW. All copy and manuscript for the REVIEW should always be addressed “Editor of the Review and Herald, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.”

Literature Work in Hawaii

In response to the call of the mission fields, the Western Canadian Union Conference has released Brother L. T. Heaton, of its colporteur department. Brother and Sister Heaton sailed September 29 from Vancouver, British Columbia, en route to the Hawaiian Islands. We are glad that special attention is to be given to the circulation of our literature in that island field.

Relief and Communication in Mexico

LAST week letters were received from Mexico City, giving evidence that again mail communication was open. Professor Caviness writes: “First let me tell you that we are all well here, and have done our work in spite of the difficulties.” For several months it had been impossible to send out the Spanish paper and Sabbath School Quarterlies with any regularity or certainty, owing to communications being interrupted. Our Mexican printing house has been one of the distributing centers for the Red Cross Society in its effort to supply food to people who otherwise would have been in a starving condition. In Mexico City twenty-seven thousand families have been receiving aid.

Brother C. M. Snow’s Call to Australasia

By A. G. DANIELLS

In response to an urgent call from Australasia, Brother Charles M. Snow is severing his connection with the editorial staff of the REVIEW AND HERALD, to take the editorship of the Australasian Signs of the Times. In making this transfer, the cause is giving of its best in editorial value to Australia. After finishing his studies in South Lancaster, and acting as secretary to Elder S. N. Haskell and Elder Dan. T. Jones, Brother Snow entered the employ of the Pacific Press Publishing Company as stenographer and typewriter salesman. In 1901 he joined the editorial staff of the Signs of the Times, and continued his work on that paper until 1906, when he was called to Washington, D. C., for editorial work.

In his connection with both the Signs and the REVIEW, Brother Snow has served the cause well. He has given his whole thought and time and talent to the work assigned to him, and has taken a deep interest in the welfare of the work both in the homeland and in the mission fields. As one of the elders of the local church, he has labored earnestly for its upbuilding. Ever since Brother Snow entered the work in 1886, the Sabbath school has had his services in the capacity of either teacher or officer.

Knowing that this is the kind of service Brother Snow will render the cause wherever he is located, we feel sure his connection with the work in Australasia will be a blessing to that field. Sister Snow, who for many years has done valuable work in proof reading and preparation of book manuscript in our printing houses, heartily unites in responding to this call.

In a few days Brother and Sister Snow and their little daughter, Ivanilla, will leave Washington for the Pacific Coast. They will attend the fall council at Loma Linda, and sail for Australia early in December. I am sure our people in America will join in wishing them all blessing and success in their new field. A. G. DANIELLS.

A Touching, Convincing Appeal

By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells

THIS number of the REVIEW presents to our people an appeal from our missionaries in China and the surrounding countries. It is the first united appeal ever prepared by our fellow workers in foreign lands and addressed to our people in the homeland. It will surely touch the hearts of all who read it.

These dear, devoted fellow believers in China, Japan, Korea, Manchuria, the Philippines, Malaysia, and the East Indies are not asking for anything for themselves personally. This is not an appeal for larger remuneration, better homes, and more comforts. No matter how much they may need some of these things, they are willing to go on toiling without them.

They appeal to us in behalf of the millions of poor lost souls around them who are going down to Christless graves without hope. They are with these people, and realize that they were all purchased by the death of God’s dear Son. They know, too, that these lost souls have tender hearts that respond to the love of God when it is revealed to them. Already they have won thousands to Christ and to the third angel’s message. They are witnesses of the joy that comes to the hearts of these poor heathen when the light of the glorious gospel penetrates to those dark recesses. They see the devotion, loyalty, and earnest zeal of these people in the cause of God.

And seeing all this, they appeal to our people in the homeland, who have been so greatly blessed all their lives, to take the present situation to heart, and do more for the salvation of the millions who are still unsaved. They feel that this is the hour of great opportunity to work in these heathen lands, and they are deeply convinced that the time has fully come to enter upon a far greater and larger effort in those lands. Let all read this stirring, convincing appeal.

A. G. DANIELLS.

Changes on the Review Staff

By Editor

IN a growing and progressive work such as is represented by this movement, changes are inevitable. The home field must ever be the great source of supply for the outposts and the regions beyond. We send forth our best laborers with sorrow at our own loss, but with joy that we can contribute to the fields more needy. It is with these feelings that we see Brother C. M. Snow separate from the Review and Herald to accept a call to Australia. Brother Snow has been with this office for the last nine years, and during that time has done faithful and efficient service as one of the editors of the REVIEW. We have taken sweet counsel together, and shall miss him in the future. We are glad, however, of the assurance that he will still write for the REVIEW from time to time. This, we are sure, will be a source of satisfaction and pleasure to all our readers. Elders W. A. Spicer and G. B. Thompson will constitute the associate editors of the paper. Prof. L. L. Caviness, known to many of our people by his long years of school work in connection with Union College and other educational institutions, has accepted the position of assistant editor of the REVIEW. We believe the Lord directed in this call, and we heartily welcome Brother Caviness to his new field of labor.
