Battle Creek Church Suit Dismissed

OUR people will be glad to learn that the suit brought against the present legal organization of the Battle Creek church has been thrown out of court by a decision of Judge North handed down on February 27. The restraining injunction brought against the trustees of the church was also dissolved. The decision affirms that there are no just grounds for the court’s interference with the management of the church’s affairs, that there is no proof of irregularities in the conduct of the business of the church. This suit was started about a year ago to prevent the trustees of the church from deeding the church property to the West Michigan Conference or to the General Conference, and the injunction was asked to prevent the officers of the church corporation from acting in the offices to which they had been elected. The injunction had been so modified some time ago as to permit the trustees to instal a heating plant. Concerning this matter the Battle Creek Enquirer says: “A decisive victory over those who have been seeking to disrupt the organization was won by the local Seventh-day Adventist association by a decision handed down by Judge North yesterday.” Unless the complainant chooses to carry the matter up to the Supreme Court, the decision of Judge North settles the case, leaving the Tabernacle property in the hands of the trustees elected by the congregation.

Rarama Spreads Light in Fiji

By Editor

WE note from one of our field reports that our brethren in Fiji have printed ten thousand copies of one issue of the paper Rarama, and that the paper is being well received by the people generally. May the true light that shines from heaven shine out through the pages of Rarama (Light), that the inhabitants of Fiji may see it and rejoice in it.

Mission Results in Kongo and Korea

Mission work goes exceedingly slow where Rome controls. For twenty-five years mission work has been carried on in the Kongo country, and yet the total number of converts to evangelical Christianity up to the present time amounts to but 2,500—an average of one hundred for all the denominations for each year of mission work. Contrast with this the wonderful results in Korea—120,000 in twenty-four years.

Sanitarium Transfer to Mussoorie

The Oriental Watchman, of Calcutta, announces the transfer of the sanitarium enterprise from Calcutta to the hill station of Mussoorie, in the Himalaya Mountains. The treatment rooms of the former city sanitarium are being continued in Calcutta, but the main sanitarium work, it is felt, “after ten years of battle with disease in the plains,” will be more satisfactorily developed amid the healthful conditions of a mountain station.

Collinwood School Fire

ONE of the most terrible holocausts of school children that has ever occurred in this country was that which took place at Collinwood, Ohio, on March 4, when the public school building containing several hundred children caught fire and was destroyed. In the conflagration one hundred seventy-one children and two teachers were burned to death. Nearly every home in the vicinity is in mourning, and many families have lost two and three children. The cause of this terrible loss of life is not certainly known, but it is believed to have been due to a stampede of the frightened children.

Supervision of Business Notices

By Editor

THE requirement that “any person unknown to the managers of this paper must send with his advertisement satisfactory recommendation,” has seemed grievous to some of our brethren, and they have sometimes expressed themselves plainly about it. We appreciate therefore the following view of the case as given in a recommendation by the superintendent of one of our mission fields: “I am glad to see you so careful regarding what you advertise in the columns of the REVIEW. . . . We feel safe under the care you are exercising in this respect.” It is for the good of the paper and its readers, and not for personal reasons, that a strict supervision is maintained over this Business Notice column.

Circulating the Magazine Liberty

The second edition of the current number of the magazine Liberty goes to press this week. The order for the second edition calls for 20,000 copies. The first edition of 50,000 was completely exhausted within a month of the date of publication, and the second edition is largely covered by orders already in hand. This is a clear indication that the people see the importance of the matter which this magazine contains. The time is fully ripe for the circulation of such literature among the people, and those who have read this number of Liberty pronounce it the best that has yet been issued. The memorial to Congress, which it contains, is a memorial to the American people as well, and should be presented to them just now. Many of our people are doing yeoman service in this work of distributing this number of the magazine; but there are many more who might be doing just as well. Every Seventh-day Adventist should be interesting his neighbors in this kind of literature, and every Seventh-day Adventist's neighbors ought to have an opportunity of reading the memorial.
