WEEK OF PRAYER

By C. E. Sturdevant

KANKAKEE AND ST. ANNE, ILL.—I was in Kankakee from Friday evening until Thursday morning, December 22-27. The brethren were attentive to the readings, each attending the services as often as he could, and taking part in the meetings. I rejoiced greatly to find still walking in the truth several of my dear brethren and sisters whom I knew years ago; and I earnestly hope and pray that they will continue so to walk and to increase yet more and more in the love of God and the experimental knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus. The heights thus far gained are still, as it were, the lowlands; for infinitely greater heights of holy living rise before us. Let us press onward and upward for the holiness—whole-in-ness—unto which we are called.

There are those in this company, as in almost every church, who are not free in the Lord. To these dear ones I would say: Courage in the Lord. “Strengthen the things which remain.” “Hold that fast which thou hast.” O brethren, let us arise and take a still firmer stand than ever before.

From the beginning, the spirit of love and tenderness seemed to be ruling, and earnest responses were given to each reading by those who bore testimony. Having been brought up a Methodist, I perhaps see more importance in each member’s taking a prompt and hearty part in the prayer and social meetings than do those who were trained differently; and although I would not insist on others doing as I do, yet I must think and teach that there is too little animation and spirit in all our devotions. Let songs revive, and praises resound in the courts of the Lord’s house. And in our homes let us all recognize God’s goodness daily, thanking Him in song for all He does for us.

My personal entertainment and benefits were most gratefully appreciated. At the home where I stayed at night, the sacred book of God was read morning and evening, in French, the selections being Psalms 27, 19, 103; Romans 5; Psalm 139; Habbakuk 2, and Psalm 91. The last evening of my stay in this home I was delighted to see the six-year-old grandson sitting by the side of his aged grandmother while she taught him of Jesus, and his birth and babyhood in Bethlehem. By seeing them turn the pages of “Christ Our Saviour,” and by the occasional mention of Bethlehem, I could tell what grandma was saying to the little lad, and as I saw her raise her hand and point upward at times, I thought, “She is pointing her grandchild to the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” It was a pleasant picture.

ST. ANNE.—I arrived in St. Anne, Thursday, December 27, where I remained until Sunday afternoon, December 30. Here, also, I found a kind reception. My dear brethren and sisters of the French language spared no pains to make me feel at home, and received my efforts to help them, with grateful responses. I found them well organized in their meetings for the Week of Prayer, and a spirit of love and harmony was present. I did not allow my coming to break into their plans in any way. Sister Agnes Miller interprets with grace and readiness, and all were pleased to have her take a leading part in the work. I was asked to assist also, and they desired me to hold a special meeting each night, in addition to the regular reading from the Bulletin at 3 P. M. Two or three of the English tongue came in. I presented the “second coming” and the “seven churches” in a way to thoroughly reach all. I would make a short statement, which Sister Miller would repeat after me. Thus these subjects were presented clearly and without the least confusion. We were all happy and delighted with the glorious truth. In fact, I never enjoyed these themes more. On Sabbath I was asked to give the regular reading, in English. This I did, not forgetting the hungry souls before me who could not fully understand all I said. Sister Miller again was a great help to her brethren and sisters, by freely and heartily translating into her mother tongue the most important thoughts of the reading. I used a diagram of the twenty-three hundred days and the sanctuary, which helped in conveying the ideas of the great atonement day and its work. A solemn impression was made on the minds of all, and we felt the force of the judgment truth.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS OF NEW YORK BRANCH OF PACIFIC PRESS PUBLISHING COMPANY

By Spencer N. Curtis

The address of the New York Branch of the Pacific Press Publishing Company is 11 West Twentieth St., New York City, instead of 39 Bond St.

Since the establishment of this branch, in October, 1888, it was situated on Bond Street, and familiarly known to many of our people throughout the world as the “Bond Street Office.” But a change of conditions and surroundings made it seem advisable to move. We are now in a modern, fireproof, nine-story building, with freight and passenger elevators, and occupy the fifth floor. This location is convenient to express and post offices, as well as to the religious and other book publishers. It is easy of access, being convenient to the various surface and elevated cars.

Our “latch string” hangs out, and we trust our people will make our place their headquarters when in New York, if their convenience can thus be served. We have no storage room for anything beyond our own requirements, so can not accommodate our friends in this respect, as we have sometimes done in the past.

Make a note of the new address—Pacific Press Publishing Company, 11 West Twentieth St., New York City.

SPENCER N. CURTIS, Manager New York Branch.

Every Seventh-day Adventist

“Testimonies for the Church”

and read them. They are a message from the Lord to the ancient men, to the middle aged, to the youth, and to the children.

Through the Spirit of Prophecy it is the Lord's good pleasure to give to His remnant people counsel, instruction, and warning in matters pertaining to doctrine; points of faith; what the Christian's home should be; marriage; relation of husband and wife; duty of parents to their children, and children to parents; child training; how to overcome wrong habits formed in early years; church officers and their duties; advice to the General Conference, publishing houses, sanitariums, educational and other institutions; also concerning wills, legacies, and endowments.

Every church-member should be familiar with the Instructions contained in the Testimonies. In them is recounted the blessing of the Lord to the faithful of past ages, and they set forth the great loss to individuals of to-day who fail to heed the counsel, instruction, and warning which they contain. You should read them, and loan them to your neighbors and friends.

If you receive copies of this paper without ordering them, please remember that they are sent to you by some friend. Persons thus receiving copies of the REVIEW will not be called upon to pay for them. If, after reading these copies, you do not care to keep them, please hand them to your friends to read.

Chinese Envoys Sign Joint Demands

LAST week the Chinese envoys signed the demands in the joint note dictated by the Powers.

Army Increase Approved

JANUARY 18 the United States Senate passed the House bill, increasing the army to one hundred thousand men.

Church and State Property in the Philippines

The question of Church and State property in the Philippines has been referred by the Philippine Commission to the Philippine Supreme Court, with right of appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Thus Rome is steadily more and more forcing herself and her affairs upon the United States.

French Parliament Warns the Pope

By a vote of four hundred and twenty-nine to ninety-five, the French Parliament notified the pope that “the government will not tolerate the organization of resistance against the laws of the country;” and that “no interference on the part of the pope will be allowed in the law of associations, when it is voted upon.”

The Czar’s Absolute Power

That reference to the government of Russia by the United States Philippine Commission, as a standard of comparison, was really apt, as will be seen by the following statement of the Christian Advocate, December 6: “In the czar of Russia theoretically the whole legislative, judicial, and executive power of the empire is united.”

Special Course at Battle Creek College

Your church should not forget to see that some one takes the special course at Battle Creek College, which begins January 29 and extends to April 23. This course is intended to give such instruction as will enable its pupils, on returning to their respective churches, successfully to handle “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and to do general missionary work among their neighbors, who have been long neglected.

France Proposes Abolishing Religious Orders

THE French government is proposing to abolish the religious orders. They hold about one tenth of the total property of France. The pope has come out with a defense of the orders, of course. He declares that “the excessive wealth of these congregations is exaggerated. The money does not belong to them, but to the poor.” That is the same old plea made by the papacy for more than fifteen hundred years. She oppresses and robs people into poverty, that she may pile up untold wealth under the plea that it is for the poor! for the poor! But none of the poor ever have any of the benefit of it; except when her oppressions can be no longer borne, and violence fills the land.

The Plagues Studies Conclude

By Editor

THOSE excellent studies on The Plagues close with this number of the REVIEW. We only hope that each reader of the REVIEW has given them the careful and prayerful attention that is their due. Each seems better than the ones before it; and this last one, very appropriately, seems better than all before it. We thank the REVIEW subscribers for giving to these articles the wide circulation that they have given.

DO NOT FORGET

By Editor

that next week we expect to begin in the REVIEW AND HERALD the consideration of

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,

one by one, from the beginning. This subject is all-important now; because only those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus can

ESCAPE THE PLAGUES.

And all who have read the excellent studies on The Plagues, that close in this week’s REVIEW, know that the world is now in the time of the preparation for the pouring out of the plagues. Therefore do not, you simply can not afford to, let your subscription expire, when only twenty-five cents each two months will keep the REVIEW coming to you till these studies shall end, and forever. Also please do not forget the heart’s interest of your friend or neighbor: see that he has an opportunity to know how to escape the plagues—let him see what it is to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Religious Instruction in Philippine Schools

IN the Philippines there is about to be established a department of public instruction. The bill now being discussed contains a section prohibiting the school-teachers teaching religion, but “permitting priests and ministers to teach religion half an hour three times a week outside of school hours, provided the parents express a written desire for such instruction.” The parties for and against it are both Catholic; so Rome will have her way whichever way the question may be decided.

“THE MENTAL ARITHMETIC”

is now ready: It is an arithmetic for the children and other folks in our homes and in our church schools. And please note: It is not simply a mental arithmetic; it is The Mental Arithmetic. And it is even more than that; it is a book of interesting and valuable, because useful, information. The examples are all composed from the practical things of every-day life; and when you have really learned to work the examples, you will know not only how many things are done, but will yourself know how to do them. You will also know many practical things about yourself—your heart, your brain, your blood, your lungs, your victuals, etc., etc. The examples are not merely made-up: they are important facts and interesting truths; so that this mental arithmetic is in itself an interesting reading book for even grown persons. Get it, and see for yourself. It has 240 pages, is nicely bound, and the price is only sixty-five cents. You can order through your tract society, or address directly Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich.

Teacher's Conference Bulletin

HAVE you a copy of the Teacher's Conference Bulletin? If not, you should get one as soon as possible, and especially before the edition is exhausted. There is hardly a question on Christian education, church schools, etc., that is not well answered therein. Get it, and know. Price, fifty cents. Address Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich.

All the Michigan people should, as far as possible, avail themselves of the opportunity now offered by the Battle Creek College to gain a special preparation to canvass for “Christ’s Object Lessons.” If one student could be sent from each church, the number of workers would be greatly increased in this State. We should do all in our power to forward this special work.
