Current Mention
—A cure for leprosy by the use of X-rays is alleged to have been discovered by American surgeons at Manila, P. I.
—A recent dispatch from Peking states that a thousand Lama priests have killed and wounded many French missionaries and other Catholics in the province of Honan. M. Dubail, the French minister had made a strong complaint to the Chinese government.
—The collapse of the John G. Meyers Department store at Albany, N. Y., August 8, while alterations in the building were in progress, resulted in the death of thirteen employees of the store, and injuries to many others, which in several cases are believed to be fatal.
—President Roosevelt, in an address before the Chautauqua assembly at Chautauqua, N. Y., August 11, made what is considered a veiled threat of employing force against Venezuela in connection with the asphalt controversy in that country, and also declared that leniency in the case of the beef packers’ trust had been nearly exhausted.
—The yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans and vicinity continues to progress with varying degrees of rapidity, nearly a thousand cases having been reported up to August 13, with about one hundred and fifty deaths. The federal government now has charge of the situation at New Orleans.
—The feelings of Frenchmen have been stirred by the discovery that a German loan of $2,500,000 has been made to the sultan of Morocco, contrary to an understanding that, pending the coming conference to settle Moroccan relations with the European powers, the existing conditions in that country should be left undisturbed. The effect of this loan would naturally be to increase German prestige in Morocco.
—Great disturbances are reported at Warsaw, Poland, and vicinity, alleged to be caused by Jewish Socialists. A dispatch dated August 10 states: “Gangs of revolutionists, armed with revolvers and bombs, attacked the government treasuries in the three district towns of Opatow, Lubartow, and Wengrow, resulting in stiff fighting with the police, several of whom were killed or wounded. Peasants destroyed the palace of Count Krasinski at Tykocin, near Byelostok.”
—A recent Berlin dispatch quotes Emperor William as having said in an address at Gnesen, Prussia, alluding to the subject of Polish discontent: “In my last visit to the Vatican, the great Leo XIII, as I took my leave, held me with both hands, and, notwithstanding that I am a Protestant, gave me his blessing, with this promise: ‘I pledge and promise your majesty, in the name of all Catholics who are your subjects, of whatever race or position, that they will be faithful subjects of the German Emperor and the king of Prussia.’”
—It is reported that the Japanese terms of peace submitted at the conference of the peace envoys at Portsmouth, N. H., include the payment by Russia of the cost of the war to Japan, which up to this date is about $660,000,000; the cession of Sakhalin Island; fishing rights for Japan on the Siberian coast; and the limitation of Russia’s naval power in the far East. These terms have been submitted to the czar for his decision. Late reports from the conference indicate that little hope of peace between the belligerent powers is to be entertained at present, Russia having refused to consider the demand for an indemnity and the cession of Sakhalin Island.
—A St. Petersburg dispatch dated August 8 says: “The Russian national assembly, the first gathering of the representatives of the Muscovite people since Emperor Alexei Michaelovitch, the second of the Romanoffs, summoned the last zemsky sobor in the seventeenth century, will be proclaimed on Saturday next. The final session of the special commission which has been considering the project as drafted by Minister of the Interior Bouligin and elaborated by the council of ministers, was held at Peterhof to-day. Its verdict upon the project as a whole was favorable, and at the conclusion of the session, before the assembled grand dukes, ministers, senators, and other members of the commission, Emperor Nicholas set the seal of his approval thereto.”

She, with her daughter, the writer's wife, accepted present truth about seventeen years ago, and earnestly and consistently devoted the remainder of her life to the message. Her husband and five children survive her, and were present at her death bed. W. J. Fitzgerald.
Rule.—Died in the hospital, at Richmond, Va., July 13, 1905, of cancer, Mary Catherine (Rowand) Rule, aged 55 years, 6 months, and 8 days. She was baptized in the Baptist Church in 1868, and joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1886, where she remained a consistent member until the time of her death. She rests in hope. A husband, Elder C. B. Rule, five brothers, one sister, besides other relatives and many friends, are left to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Luke 10:42. H. W. Herrell.
Valentine.—Died at Cottage Grove, Ore., July 1, 1905, of a complication of diseases, Miss Ruth L. Valentine, aged 24 years, 9 months, and 27 days. She enjoyed the confidence of all who knew her, and we hope she will hear the voice of the Master when he comes to awaken the sleeping saints. She left a father, mother, and seven sisters to mourn her death. The funeral service was held in the M. E. church, words of instruction based upon Isa. 40:6-8; 42:23, were spoken by the writer, assisted by the pastor. R. D. Benham.
Gear.—Died at Chitwood, Ore., July 22, 1905, of cancer of the kidneys, Brother C. C. Gear, aged 54 years, 6 months, and 14 days. He was converted in March, 1894, and in September of the same year united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which he has since been a faithful member. During the last two years he suffered much, but bore his suffering without complaint. A wife, six daughters, and one son survive him. While they greatly feel their loss, they are comforted with the assurance that they will soon meet again. Funeral service was conducted by the writer; texts, Ps. 116:15; 2 Tim. 4:6-8. D. J. Chitwood.
Rea.—Died at Osceola, Iowa, May 31, 1905, Arthur Elder Rea, aged 83 years, 7 months, and 20 days. Brother Rea was converted in early life, and united with the Baptist Church, of which he was a faithful member until 1881, when his attention was called to the views held by Seventh-day Adventists, and he united with them, living an exemplary Christian life. He leaves a wife, and twelve children, one of whom is Mrs. W. H. Wakeham, of Cairo, Egypt. We believe Brother Rea will be among those who will hear the voice of the Archangel when the dead in Christ shall arise. Services were conducted by J. F. Piper and C. W. Neal; text, 1 Cor. 15:21. *
Harless.—Died in Molalla, Ore., July 12, 1905, of heart failure, without a struggle or a moment's warning, Sister Kathrine Harless, aged 63 years, 5 months, and 24 days. At the age of thirteen she united with the Methodist Church, of which she remained a consistent member until present truth found her six years ago. From that time till the end, her heart seemed illuminated and full of joy with what she termed “this precious light.” Hers is the quiet rest of one who sleeps in Jesus, waiting the call of the Master whom she longed so much to see. She leaves a husband and one son, and a large circle of other friends, to mourn their great loss. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. R. D. Benham.
Ayars.—Died at the home of her son, near Russel, N. D., June 17, 1905, of tuberculosis, S. E. Ayars, aged 65 years and 7 months. She was born Dec. 1, 1840. About twenty-four years ago she, and her husband, who was laid to rest in 1897, accepted present truth, and both were sincere, faithful Christians. Mother's greatest desire was to meet her loved ones in the earth made new. Besides many relatives and friends, she leaves a son and three daughters, who mourn for her deeply. The funeral service was held by Rev. Huey. There being no cemetery near, the body was laid to rest on her son's farm. Laverna Jones.
Sloan.—Died at Humbird, Wis., June 5, 1905, after an illness of only three days, Mrs. Mary J. Sloan, aged 37 years, 9 months, and 14 days. Sister Sloan was greatly beloved by all who knew her. She was kind and gentle, lived a true Christian life, and passed away with a bright hope of coming forth in the glad resurrection morning. She leaves a mother, one sister, three brothers, a son nearly three years old, and many friends to mourn their loss. In her death the church has lost a loyal and faithful member, and the community a kind and loving friend and helpful neighbor. The funeral service was held in the M. E. church, conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder J. B. Scott. N. P. Neilsen.
Orcutt.—Died at his home in Kent City, Mich., June 19, 1905, of heart failure, Samuel Orcutt, aged 84 years, 11 months, and 23 days. In 1861 he enlisted in the United States service, in which he remained until the close of the war, nearly four years. He and his wife were among the first to accept the message of the soon coming of the Saviour, and kindred truths, presented in Kent City in the summer of 1888, and were charter members of the Seventh-day Adventist church organized one year later. He was a kind and devoted husband, a faithful Christian, and very patient during his long illness of nearly two years. By his death a tender tie is broken, but his wife, one brother, and many friends are comforted by the Master's promises to faithful believers, and look forward to a joyful reunion in the morning of the first resurrection. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. W. D. Parkhurst.
Wright.—Died at Battle Creek, Mich., July 16, 1905, Gardner A. Wright, aged 57 years and 8 days. When alone in the second story of a building, repairing an organ that had been donated to the mission at Hildebran, N. C., he fell to the floor below, receiving injuries that resulted in his death a few hours later. When he was about ten years old, his mother, then a widow, embraced the advent message through the labors of Elders D. T. Bourdeau and Lewis Bean, and others, and thereafter faithfully brought up her children in accordance therewith. At the age of twenty years Gardner came to Battle Creek, Mich., where he has since resided. Thirty-two years ago he was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church of this place, and continued an active, faithful member till the day of his death. His wife, one son, and two brothers survive to mourn the great loss that has so suddenly and unexpectedly come to them. The funeral discourse, given by the writer, was based on 1 Peter 1:3-7, the principal theme being the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. G. W. Morse.

Two New Series of Articles
By Editor
We begin this week the publication of two series of articles which we think will be read with unusual interest. Under the general title “The Final Adjustment of Human Awards,” Elder J. O. Corliss will consider the subject of the judgment and its attendant events. This subject is an important one in the advent teaching, and the ground ought to be frequently reviewed. Somewhat out of the usual line of our contributed articles is the series by Prof. M. E. Kern, of Union College, on “The Bible and the Ancient Monuments.” The information contained in these articles, rendered more vivid by the illustrations which will appear in each one, ought to stimulate an intelligent appreciation of the Bible as the book of God, a safe authority on all matters upon which it speaks. We commend both of these series of articles to the favorable attention of our readers.
Sabbath School Worker Features
In the Sabbath School Worker for September appears an excellent article entitled “Relation of the Home to the Sabbath-school.” This is the first of a series on this subject. “Little Missionaries,” a missionary exercise for a teacher and six pupils, and two letters from one of the native boys in the mission school near Buluwayo, South Africa, are also interesting features of this most excellent number. In the Notes on the Sabbath-school Lessons for the senior and junior divisions, a new feature, and a very helpful one it is too, has been added. It is an “outline” of each lesson. By the use of this the teacher can at a glance get a grasp of the whole lesson in a connected form—a feature which will be much appreciated. No teacher or officer should be deprived of the help to be secured from this valuable journal. Single subscription, 35 cents a year. Two or more copies to one address in the United States, 25 cents each, Address Sabbath School Worker, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.
Concerning Vital Statistics
By J. E. Froom
THE facts provided for in these blanks are to be gained from two sources.
The first group will be obtained from the friends or relatives of the deceased, according to the information at hand. These facts are certified by the officiating pastor who reports the obituary notice.
The second group of facts are to be certified by the attending physician, and even though correctly reported by the pastor, they would be useless as data for vital statistics.
WE must therefore ask our ministers to see the physician of the deceased, and have him fill out the lower portion of the blank. In cases where this can not be accomplished by the pastor, he should fill out his part of the blank, place it in a stamped envelope addressed to the Review and Herald, and leave it with friends of the deceased to personally take it to the physician, and upon securing his facts written in their proper place over his signature, mail the report to the editor of the Review and Herald.

A Fund for the South
By I. H. Evans
THE readers of the REVIEW have already learned that the amount needed for the Nashville church has been met by sending for this purpose five thousand dollars of the overflow of the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund.
The question naturally arises, “What about the donations already sent in for the Nashville church building?” The amount required being now in the hands of the brethren at Nashville, all can see that the special donations already sent are not needed for this purpose.
It has been proposed that we take these offerings for the Nashville church building, and start a fund known as the “Southern Fund,” allowing this fund to run through the columns of the REVIEW AND HERALD, until a good sum has been raised for the work in the South.
Any one can recall his donation made to the Nashville Church Fund if he sees fit. If not, it will be transferred to the Southern Fund, to be used by the Southern Union Conference as they deem best.
Amount previously reported ....$100 50
Jas. L. Pauley ................ 50
Frank D. Starr ................ 25 00
Mrs. A. H. Robinson, Treas.... 1 00

The REVIEW’s Second Anniversary
By Editor
This is the second anniversary of the commencement of printing the REVIEW in Washington, the first number being dated Aug. 20, 1903. Some important denominational history has been made during these two years, and we hope the REVIEW has done some acceptable work in its effort to maintain the original advent faith. Time has only served to emphasize the wisdom of the move to Washington, and to strengthen the confidence of our people throughout the world that the Lord directed in making this change. It seems to be an appropriate time to give a brief review of our experiences, and to present the latest information concerning our plans for the future. This is done in an article on page 19, where will be found a picture of the building which will be erected at once for the use of the Review and Herald Publishing Association.
