At a missionary meeting, Miss Haswell, the Burman missionary, told how she came to enter the gospel work. It was not because her father was a missionary; for the remembrance of the loneliness and deprivations she had experienced in childhood in Burmah, caused an aversion toward that life. After her school education in America, she returned to her home in Maulmain, rather to be with and assist her mother than to become a missionary. At the time of her return cholera was raging. One of the native preachers died, and his daughter was very sick. She was abandoned by the native women, and Miss Haswell herself went to take care of her.
“Do you think I shall die?” asked the sick girl.
“I hope not,” replied Miss Haswell; “but if that should be the will of God, are you afraid to die?”
“Oh, yes! I am afraid; it is all dark.”
The responsibility of her position forced itself upon her, and she sought to direct the thoughts of the girl to the assurances of God’s word.
“If I should make you a promise, a definite promise, would you not believe it?” said Miss Haswell.
“Yes, indeed, I would.”
“The great God, the true God, has made a definite promise that he will forgive our sins, for the sake of his Son who died for us. Will you not believe him?”
The poor girl at once believed, and quiet came into her soul, which deepened during the talks they had together. And when, the next day, the young girl died in her arms, peacefully trusting in Jesus through her instructions, she knew the joys of the missionary’s life, and found them sweeter and greater than its trials. From that time she devoted herself to this work.
This idea of resting upon a definite promise of God is the true idea of faith. Faith is not a dreamy, indefinite ecstasy; it is believing what God has said. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
When Miss Haswell started her mission-school she had many discouragements. At one time, before she received any regular support, when her food and money for herself and the ten girls she was trying to educate were entirely gone, she called the girls together in the morning, told them the facts, reminded them that our heavenly Father hears and answers prayer; and resting on a definite promise, they there prayed together for daily bread, as only those pray who are in actual want. In the afternoon, a Burmese woman came, bringing fifty rupees,—twenty-five dollars,—as a gift. Her husband, who was a Christian, had died some time before, leaving directions that if a certain debt were ever paid the amount should be given to the teacher. It had been paid that day. Miss Haswell called the children together again, and after repeating the story, they gave thanks to Him who was ever afterward, to those Burmese girls, the true hearer and answerer of prayer.
Let us learn the blessedness of resting upon the definite promises of God. They are many, and great, and precious; and they cover all our needs. Let us embrace them with all our hearts, and be followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
“Oh, for a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by many a foe!
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!
“A faith that shines more bright and clear,
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt.”
THE GERMAN PAPER.
WHAT THEY SAY OF IT.
The following are samples of the welcome greetings with which this new paper is being met in all parts of the country:—
Extract from a letter from Bro. J. Vogt, Whiteside Co., Ill.
Seeing in the REVIEW of July 3, 1879, that a German paper is issued at the Office, I cannot refrain from praying that the Lord may bless the work, and that a hundred fold may be gathered among our dear German nation here in America, as well as in Germany. I request you to send the Stimme der Wahrheit to the following persons until 1880, and I will pay for the same. (A list of ten names follows.)
Bro. A. E. Stutzman writes from Indiana:—
I have received copies of the Voice of Truth, in German, and am highly pleased with the appearance of the paper. I am satisfied that it is a rare treat for the German people. We presented it in our V. M. society last evening, and succeeded in raising a club of twelve. We expect to increase this list within a week, and then send it to you. We shall do all we can to extend its circulation.
Sister K. C. Hoenes writes from Wisconsin:—
My heart was made glad when I heard the good news in the REVIEW of last week, that a German paper is to be issued. I am thankful to the Lord that “the hour has come to strike.” I have a work to do now among my own dear country people. I trust in the Lord that through the Stimme der Wahrheit the truth may enter many hearts.
Bro. Wm. Saunders writes from Wisconsin:—
Seeing a notice in the last REVIEW of the issue of the first number of the Stimme der Wahrheit, I ventured to take the responsibility of placing the matter before the brethren at the quarterly meeting; and as a result, obtained eleven names of brethren and friends who wish to read it.
EXCUSED AT LAST.
By Moody
It is a very solemn thought that God will excuse you if you want to be excused. He does not wish to do it, but he will do it. “As I live, saith the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.” Look at the Jewish nation. They wanted to be excused from the feast. They despised the grace of God and trampled it under foot, and look at them to-day! Yes, it is easy enough to say, “I pray thee, have me excused,” but by and by God may take you at your word, and say, “Yes, I will excuse you.” And in that last world, while others who have accepted the invitation sit down to the marriage supper of the Lamb, amid shouts and hallelujahs in Heaven, you will be crying in the company of the lost, “The harvest is past; the summer is ended, and I am not saved.”—Moody.
Rawlinson's Babylonian Discoveries and Nebuchadnezzar's Relics
Among the discoveries made by Colonel Rawlinson, in the excavations of Babylon, was Nebuchadnezzar’s hunting diary, with notes, and here and there a portrait of his dogs sketched by himself, with his name under it. He mentioned in it his having been ill; and while he was delirious, he thought he had been put to graze like the beasts of the field. Is not this a wonderful corroboration of Scripture? Rawlinson also found a pot of preserves in an excellent state, and gave some to Queen Victoria to taste. How little Nebuchadnezzar’s cook dreamed when making them that twenty-five centuries after, the Queen of England would eat some of the identical preserves that figured at his master’s table.—National Repository.
Solomon's Pools Near Jerusalem Described for Baptism
Prof. McGarvey says of Solomon’s Pools near Jerusalem, “For immersing, they are just the thing. They all have stone steps reaching down to the bottom, on which you could immerse nicely when the water is at any stage, by placing your candidate on the step below you; and when the water is low, the benches made by the natural ledges of rock on the sloping bottom would be the chosen place.” One of these pools covers six acres.

THE END OF VICIOUS AMUSEMENTS.
By Talmage
Go forth, O people, to your lawful amusements. God means you to be happy. But when there are so many sources of innocent pleasure, why tamper with anything that is dangerous and polluting? Why stop our ears to a heaven full of songsters, to listen to the hiss of a dragon? Why turn back from the mountain side, all a-bloom with wild flowers and a-dash with the nimble torrents, and with blistered feet attempt to climb the hot sides of the Cotopaxi? The day comes when men who have exerted evil influence upon their fellows will be brought to Judgment. Scene: The last day. Stage: The rocking earth. Enter: Dukes, Lords, Kings, Beggars, Clowns. No sword; no tinsel; no crown. For footlights, the kindling flames of a world; for orchestra, the trumpets that wake the dead; for gallery, the clouds filled with angel spectators; for applause, the clapping floods of the sea; for curtain, the heavens rolled together as a scroll; for tragedy, the doom of the destroyed: for the last scene of the fifth act, the tramp of nations across the stage,—some to the right, others to the left,—these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but those into life eternal.—Talmage.

N. E. CAMP-MEETING.
By G. F. Haines
Dear Brethren and Sisters of New England: The time appointed for our camp-meeting, Aug. 27 to Sept. 2, will soon be here. Shall our camp-meeting this year be a success? The Conference and camp-meeting committees are doing, and will do, all in their power to make the meeting the best ever held in this Conference. Will you co-operate with them? Let every S. D. Adventist in New England do his part to make it such.
1. Make up your mind to attend the meeting yourself. Make a sacrifice to do it if need be. Come at the commencement and remain until the close. These meetings can be made a great blessing to us all. We need to improve upon every means of grace God has given us, to prepare for the time of trouble which is just before us.
2. Take time between now and the meeting for self-examination, and as far as possible put away your sins.
3. Meditate upon the fearful condition of those who are treading under foot the law of God.
4. Then come to the meeting to labor. What a field of usefulness opens up to us at the camp-meeting! In how many ways we might do good! A friendly word spoken, an act of kindness done,—how much can be accomplished in this way eternity alone will reveal. The time has fully come for more earnest effort in the work of God.
Bring your children with you. This may be the time and place when God will answer your prayers in their behalf. It is designed to have a session of the Sabbath School on the ground, and we want to see all the children there ready to take part. In short, come, earnestly seeking the blessing of God, and you will certainly receive it. But if you come with a spirit to visit, you will find yourselves farther from God at the close of the meeting than when it commenced, and very likely hinder those who otherwise might become interested. Once more, be mindful of the wants of others. Let all who can, bring extra supplies, so that they may be prepared to entertain those who may not be provided for.

THE CAMP-MEETINGS.
By James White
OUR stay in Colorado will be brief this season. God has blessed us with a good degree of health, and we feel like responding to as many of the calls for us to attend the camp-meetings as possible. Already we have labored hard in six camp-meetings, reaching far into the intense heat of summer. We have nothing to do with arranging the camp-meetings, and make no pledges, excepting to attend the Massachusetts camp-meeting in the absence of Eld. Haskell in California. JAMES WHITE.

Reports of State Tract and Missionary Meetings
By Editor
☞ Some are inquiring why reports of State T. and M. meetings which they have written do not appear in the REVIEW. We would say that we are holding them till the reports of the State quarterly meetings are mostly in, when they will be published in the regular quarterly Supplement. We expect a few reports which are behind will be sent in so that it can be issued immediately.
How Old Is the Church of England?
It is reported that in a speech in the British House of Lords, recently, on the right of a man to marry his deceased wife’s sister, the Bishop of London contended that the prohibition rested on “a law of God,” and added that it was also “a law of the church,” and that on this subject “the Church of England has held these peculiar notions for upwards of 1,800 years”!.
DO THEY MEAN IT?
In the “International Sabbath-school Lessons” (Lesson for June 22, 1879,) as presented in The Illustrated Christian Weekly, this paragraph occurs:—
“The Judgment day is not far off. The neglecters and blasphemers of God will then sink to their own place, while the faithful ones are gathered into God’s Heaven as his peculiar treasure. On one side God’s eternal wrath, and on the other God’s eternal love, will be manifested; for, as a God of holiness, he must have both.”
By the “Judgment day” we cannot suppose is meant in this instance the day of death, but the day appointed in which God will judge the world by Jesus Christ, as so clearly taught in the Scriptures. Do the publishers of these lessons mean to teach that this day, involving the second coming of Christ, is at hand? If so, they are so far Adventists, and should not oppose our work in this direction.
NOT OF US.
By Mich. Conf. Com.
WE wish to say, to correct any misapprehension that may exist on the part of some, that J. G. and C. M. Stanbuck, now of St. Johns, Mich., are not recognized by the Michigan Conference as public S. D. Adventist laborers. They are not in the employ of the Conference, and are not laboring with our sanction.

Illinois Church Clerks Asked to Bring Records to Bloomington Camp-Meeting
By G. W. Colcord
Notice.
1. We hereby earnestly request every church clerk and treasurer in Illinois to bring or send their S. S. account books, church records, etc., to the Bloomington camp-meeting. The Conference will examine them; then instructions will be given whereby they may be more properly kept in the future.
2. The same request is hereby made to all our tract officers. We may not have time to conduct an “institute”; but we hope to be catechised, instructed, and greatly benefited by aid to be sent us by the General Conference.
3. All come, not merely to bring the books, but to receive the oral instructions.
G. W. Colcord.
TO NEBRASKA CHURCH OFFICERS.
By G. S. Richard
The church secretaries and treasurers are earnestly requested to send in their reports so they will reach me as early as Sept. 1. This will give me time to make out my report by the time of our camp-meeting. Let there be no failure on the part of any one to do so.
Address, G. S. RICHARD, Conf. Sec.Pleasant Home, York Co., Neb.
ILLINOIS EXCURSIONISTS.
By G. W. Colcord
WE now hope to be able to furnish certificates, entitling those coming from west of Freeport, north of Gilman, north of Effingham, and south of Centralia, to join the three excursions at those points by paying one and one-fifth fares for the round trip from their homes to place of joining the excursions. But I must have the names soon! Say that you want a certificate; and that you will pay, go or not go; then you will secure a seat in car to the Bloomington camp-meeting. G. W. COLCORD.
THIRD MICHIGAN CAMP-MEETING.
This meeting will be held in the vicinity of Ionia or Lyons, Sept. 17-21. It is especially designed for the brethren in the counties of Ionia, Montcalm, Mecosta, Isabella, Gratiot, Ottawa, Muskegon, Newago, and Kent. The above counties embrace Section 4 and a part of Section 3. A cordial invitation is extended to all others. The location may seem to be somewhat aside, but the railroads center at these places, so it will be more convenient than any other point in this section. Elds. Canright, Lane, and others will be at this meeting. We shall look for a general rally of our people in the above-named counties. Special attention will be given to the Sabbath-school and T. and M. work, Brethren, begin at once to get ready to attend this meeting. MICH. CONF. COMMITTEE.
CAMP-MEETINGS IN KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE.
By Dudley Marvin Canright
We think our brethren in Kentucky and Tennessee should each hold a camp-meeting this fall, about the first of October. If the brethren will arrange with us for the appointments, we will attend them at that time. They should be located where all the scattered brethren and sisters in each of these States can attend. Will Bro. Osborn, of Kentucky, and Bro. Owen, of Tennessee, state particulars, so that we can make the appointment? D. M. CANRIGHT.
BE EXPLICIT.
By G. W. Colcord
1. WHEN you report to the secretary of the Conference, do not say simply how much money you have remitted to the State Conference treasurer, but state when you remitted. If you have sent money away at different times through the quarter, give date of each remittance as well as amount.
2. If you wish a passage to the Bloomington camp-meeting in one of our chartered coaches, say so definitely; and not say, “You may expect about twenty from our church”! Give your name, and say you will go, or you will pay if you do not go. If this is not done soon, you may lose the chance of getting reduced rates. Names are coming in rapidly, at present; and soon, I judge, the “quota” will be filled. Write to Du Quoin.
G. W. COLCORD.
OHIO CAMP-MEETING EXPENSES.
By Dudley Marvin Canright
As has been noticed before, we have decided this year to request each brother and sister who camps on the ground to pay fifty cents to defray the necessary expenses of the meeting. And as this will not be enough, we invite every brother and sister throughout the Conference who does not attend, to pay seventy-five cents for the purpose. Several have cheerfully paid in that amount to us already. We therefore request all our brethren who do not design to attend the meeting, to pay seventy-five cents to their S. B. treasurer on or before Sunday, August 17; and we request each treasurer to see the brethren and invite them to pay this amount. It can be sent by the delegate who comes to the meeting. We are sure that every lover of the cause will be willing to contribute this small amount. If the money thus raised is more than sufficient to meet the expenses of the meeting, we will apply the balance on our tent fund. D. M. CANRIGHT.
“The Pocasset Tragedy.”—We have issued a tract refuting the idea that the Seventh-day Adventist faith is in any degree responsible for the fanaticism which led to the Freeman murder, and designed to free our cause from unjust odium. Send in your orders for the work, and scatter it freely. Price, 3 cts. $1.50 per hundred.
Notice of expiration of subscription will be given by special stamp on the margin of the paper. We should be pleased to receive your renewal at once.
NOTICE.—The change of figures on the address labels will be in all cases a sufficient receipt for money sent for the paper. If these changes do not in due time appear, and if books ordered by mail are not received, notice should be given. All other business is acknowledged below.
