Current Mention

—July 9, at Atlantic City, N. J., Walter Brookins, in a Wright biplane, reached an altitude of 6,175 feet, thus breaking all records.

—A head-on collision between a freight- and passenger-train on the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Railroad occurred at Middletown, Ohio, on July 4. Nineteen persons were killed outright, three fatally hurt, and many others severely injured.

—Some days ago, Paris time was transmitted from the Eiffel Tower by wireless apparatus within a radius of 2,500 and 3,000 miles. These time-signals are to be continued, and will be sent out at midnight, also at two minutes and four minutes after midnight.

—A material decrease in deaths and injuries is noted as a result of the movement for a “safe and sane” observance of the Fourth of July. So far as reported, 28 deaths occurred this year, as against 44 last year. The number of injured last year was 2,361; this year it was 1,785.

—The annual report of the appraiser of the port of New York shows that merchandise of an appraised value of $961,962,392 entered that port during the fiscal year ending June 30, as against $798,303,729 in 1909. Precious stones and pearls at an appraised value of above $44,000,000 were received; also 1,821 automobiles at an appraised value of $4,440,000.

—The excursion steamer “Grand Republic,” sister ship of the “Slocum,” which burned in East River six years ago, causing the death of 938 persons, caught fire on the afternoon of July 6, while passing through the Narrows on her way to New York City after an excursion to a pleasure resort. There were few passengers on board, and they were all landed safely.

—Chief Justice Fuller, of the United States Supreme Court, died very suddenly, of heart failure, on July 4, at his summer home at Sorrento, Maine. He had been in apparently good health, and had attended church service on Sunday. Within sixteen months President Taft has named two associate justices of the Supreme Court; and the death of Chief Justice Fuller now places upon him the responsibility of naming a chief justice. Since the creation of the Supreme Court, only eight men have held this important place, while during the same time there have been 27 presidents. The opinion is widely expressed that Governor Charles E. Hughes, recently appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court, will be chosen to fill this important position; but it is not expected that the appointment will be made until late in the fall.

—All the ticket offices in the Union Station at Washington, D. C., were closed for an hour on July 5, while the Terminal Company discharged the entire force of ticket-sellers, and installed a new staff of men in their places. Passengers were instructed to buy their tickets on trains while the change was made. The discovery of irregularities on the part of the ticket sellers was the cause of the drastic measures taken.

—At midnight on June 30 the White Star Line steamship “Baltic,” while 1,000 miles off Fire Island, on her way to New York, collided with the “Standard,” an oil-tank steamer. A T-shaped hole 6 feet in diameter was stove in the bow of the “Baltic” just above the water-line. Repairs were made by the ship’s carpenters and crew, and after a wait of two hours the disabled vessel proceeded on her course. Immediately after the collision, wireless messages were sent out, but no response was received. It will be remembered that the “Baltic” was the first liner to come to the help of the wrecked “Republic” and “Florida,” saving 1,650 shipwrecked passengers, when these two ships collided near Nantucket Shoals in January, 1909.

—An aftermath of the fight for the world’s heavyweight championship, which occurred in Reno, Nev., July 4, is given by the daily papers in all parts of the country. Thirty cities show a list of 357 persons hurt, the injuries to 21 of them resulting in death. In the city of Washington alone there were 231 arrests growing out of brawls over the results of the “battle,” and 50 injured persons were treated at the local hospitals. As an offset to this record, Washington was the first city to place a ban on the proposed exhibition of the pictures of the fight. Many other large cities and several States, following her example, have also barred their exhibition.

The matter of the demonstrations against a group of Baptist missionaries working in Italy at the time of the earthquake in the Avellino district early in June, has been formally brought before the foreign office at Rome by the American ambassador, John G. A. Leishman. At the time of the earthquake, Mr. James P. Stuart, of St. Louis, representative of the American Board of Baptist Missions in Italy, and other missionaries were attacked by a mob, and rescued by a band of soldiers, who escorted them out of the district. Later, acting on the advice of Premier Luzzatti, at Rome, Mr. Stuart, accompanied by three workers, returned to the province. On the outskirts of the city of Avellino he and his companions were met by the local chief of police and a company of soldiers, and were at once surrounded by an angry mob, who stoned the carriage, and cried, “Down with the Baptists!” The soldiers protected the missionaries, and escorted them to the Baptist church, where they took refuge until rescued the next day by a detachment of 400 troops sent from Rome for the purpose. The mob continued to stone the church until late at night, but did no serious damage. Both the premier and the foreign minister declare that measures will be taken to prevent the recurrence of similar disturbances in the future.

The Maritime Conference

By J. O. MILLER

The eighth annual session of the Maritime Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held at Fredericton, N. B., Aug. 18-28, 1910. The first meeting of the conference will be held Monday, August 22.

At this annual meeting the various officers of the conference will be chosen. All Seventh-day Adventists in the Maritime Conference, in good standing, are delegates, and as such are entitled to participate in the deliberations, and to vote. We trust this meeting will exceed any previously held both in attendance and in interest. To this end we cordially invite those to come who have not attended heretofore, at the same time urging those to be present who have been in regular attendance at these annual gatherings. Earnest efforts are made by the laborers to advance this truth, often under trying circumstances. We hope to hear good reports from the workers, especially the canvassers. Three tents are now up,—one at Fredericton, the capital city; one at Dartmouth, N. S.; and a third at Musquash, N. B.

The best way to reach Fredericton is to come by rail or water to St. John, N. B., then take the daily steamboat, at 8:30 A. M., up the beautiful and picturesque St. John River for a distance of 85 miles. One fare for the round trip has been granted on the Intercolonial Railway and Steamship lines.

Besides our own speakers and workers we are promised good help from both the Canadian Union Conference and the General Conference. Begin to plan now to be at this meeting.

J. O. MILLER, President.

Obituaries

McRAE.—Margaret E. McRae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Barrett, was born in Oakland County, Michigan, Oct. 29, 1855, and died June 17, 1910, in Banana Township, Oceana County, aged 54 years, 7 months, and 19 days. When nine years old, she moved with her parents to Ovid, Clinton County, and three years later they moved to Muskegon, where she spent the most of her life. At the age of nineteen she was married to C. C. McRae; and to this union were born six children. Soon after her marriage Sister McRae united with the Baptist Church, remaining with that people for about fifteen years, when she accepted present truth. She leaves a husband, four children, three brothers, and a large circle of friends to mourn. W. C. HEBNER.

SHAW.—Died June 19, 1910, at Bennington, Vt., Mrs. Lydia A. Shaw, aged seventy-eight years. She accepted present truth about twelve years ago, and remained faithful to the end. She had few if any relatives, but many friends saw that her needs were supplied. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, who spoke from John 11:25, 26. H. J. FARMAN.

BRISBANE.—Eliza Risk Brisbane was born in Ireland in 1822, removed to America in 1830, and died at Magnolia, Miss., in 1910, aged eighty-eight years and six days. Sister Brisbane was a follower of Jesus all her life; and when the message of present truth came to her, she walked in all the light she saw. The interment took place at New Orleans, La., on April 3. E. H. REES.

TOOMBS.—Margaret A. Toombs was born in Lincoln County, Ohio, in 1828, and died of old age at the home of her son in Cornelius, Ore., in June, 1910, aged 82 years, 4 months, and 7 days. Sister Toombs heard the truths of the third angel’s message two years ago, and last winter she united with the church at Cornelius. She was the mother of nine children, only one of whom survives her. I. G. KNIGHT.

STEVENS.—Benjamin F. Stevens was born in Ohio, June 24, 1832, and died at his home near Hackberry, Okla., May 24, 1910, aged 77 years and 11 months. He leaves five sons and three daughters, with many grandchildren, to mourn their loss. Brother Stevens was converted and united with the Baptist Church in 1856, where he was faithful to all the light he had received. In the summer of 1905 he joyfully accepted present truth, to the teachings of which he was faithful until death. D. F. STURGEON.

ACKERMAN.—Died at her home in Elmira, N. Y., June 16, 1910, Mrs. Rose Ackerman, aged 53 years, 2 months, and 21 days. She was born in Ridgeburg, Pa., March 26, 1857, and was married to Mr. Ackerman on Oct. 17, 1885. In 1896 she with others accepted the truths of the third angel’s message. Sister Ackerman was the mother of three children, whom she was permitted to see converted, anchored in the truth, and members of the church of her choice. This was a source of great joy to her heart. The funeral service was based on 1 Thess. 4:18 and 2 Cor. 1:3, 4. *

SCHAUPP.—Adolph Schaupp was born in Baden, Germany, May 2, 1846, and died May 26, 1910. He was married to Mary Allen at the age of twenty-two. To them were born two children. His first wife died in the faith fifteen years ago, and four years later he was married to Jennie Rusher. Seventeen years ago he attended school at College View, to fit himself for work among the Germans; after being there two years he came back to Michigan, and labored in the cause for over four years, until failing health compelled him to cease from active labor. His heart and means were ever in the cause. A. R. SANDBORN.

SOMERS.—Jessie R., wife of Lou F. Somers, was born July 26, 1872, near Madison, Wis., and died near Boonville, Mo., May 21, 1910. She was converted at an early age, united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and became a faithful and earnest worker for her Saviour. She spent six years in college, three years at Union College at College View, Neb., and three years at Keene, Tex., where she was graduated. Having an intense desire to continue work for her Master, she began Bible teaching in the home, the church, and the school. As a result of her zealous work, many souls were converted. During ten years of arduous labor in several of the large cities of Texas, her health began to fail, so she discontinued active Bible work. Dec. 5, 1907, she was married to Lou F. Somers. She leaves a husband, a baby boy, father and mother, four brothers, and one sister, with a large circle of friends and neighbors, to mourn. The funeral services were conducted by Elder M. Mackintosh, of Windsor, Mo. LOU SOMERS.

An Educational Number

By Editor

The Signs of the Times Monthly for August will be pre-eminently an educational number. The subject will be introduced by a short plea for the cause of education, and also for the student agent who is selling the magazine. Hence it will be a number particularly helpful to students working for a scholarship. It will give them, as well as others, an opportunity to talk of the great principles of education, in which every one is, or should be, deeply interested, and which can be made to tell for the great cause of education.

Half-tone illustrations of some of our leading colleges will appear in connection with the articles.

In addition to this special feature, there will be articles on the various phases of the message, and the usual number of pages devoted to current topics. Among these is an especially interesting account of the great things in the development of air-ships.

Following are the titles and a brief outline of some of the leading articles:—

“The Ideal Education,” by Prof. Frederick Griggs, president of Union College, College View, Neb.

“The Essentials of Education,” by Prof. M. E. Cady, president of Walla Walla College, College Place, Wash.

“Christian Education: Its Definition,” is graphically outlined and described by Warren Eugene Howell, associate editor of Christian Education, Washington, D. C.

“Education for Service,” by Elder W. A. Spicer. Here the contrast is drawn between true education and the wrong standards so often held up before the young people of the day.

“Hell: Where Is It? What Is It?” by Elder R. A. Underwood. This article severely arraigns the old blasphemous doctrine of an eternally burning hell, and should have a wide reading.

“The Reformation in Bohemia,” by Mrs. E. G. White, gives an account of the martyrdom of Jerome.

“Is History Repeating Itself?” This is the third in a series of articles by George A. Snyder on the Protestant regeneration.

On the whole, the August number of the Signs magazine will be one of the most attractive, most interesting, and most important numbers ever issued. It presents a grand opportunity for young men and women to earn a scholarship in one of our educational institutions, and at the same time place the truth for this time in the hands of the people.

Agents wanted everywhere. 5 to 40 copies, 5c a copy; 50 copies and over, 4c a copy. They sell at 10c a copy. Send orders early. Address your tract society, or Signs of the Times, Mountain View, Cal.

Stereopticon Slides

THE usefulness of the stereopticon in illustrating Biblical lectures has been so well demonstrated that no argument in its favor is necessary. It has come to stay. Send for our new 64-page catalogue of stereopticon supplies and slides.

The early output of our plant was handled by J. E. White, and later by the Southern Missionary Society. During those early days the present perfection in manufacture had not been attained, and some imperfect work was sent out. We now desire to call in all slides that were fogged, badly colored, or otherwise imperfect, and we shall be glad to replace them, free of cost, with our best work under present perfected methods.

Address Nashville Book Co., 1713 Cass St., Nashville, Tenn.

Missionary Work and the Weekly Signs

Accompanied by his wife, Elder J. T. Boettcher recently crossed the border between Asia and Russia on his way to meetings in Siberia. One week's travel by train took Brother and Sister Boettcher through a vast territory of cities and poverty-stricken villages, where they saw many “Russians, Germans, Tartars, Chinese, Japanese, and other races.” Brother Boettcher adds: “The light of truth is shining in Russia, but O, how can one expect such little candles to throw light over so great an empire as this? Our greatest giant and highest wall are found in Russia. Our first meeting in Siberia will begin to-morrow night (June 18), and will be held in the woods about two hundred fifty miles west of Omsk.”

Much, but none too much, has been said from time to time of the value of our monthly missionary journals, and the good which their circulation will accomplish. In the interest which we feel for the monthlies, we should not forget the demands which our weekly missionary journal has upon us, and the great good which may be accomplished by its circulation. Some of our churches are now taking clubs of the weekly Signs, and using them in connection with missionary correspondence. In the past many have been brought into the truth as a result of such missionary effort. If this work could be greatly revived in all our churches, a large amount of good might be accomplished. For this work the weekly Signs is a more valuable medium than any of the monthlies. The weekly Signs may also be taken by individuals, and used with excellent effect in this way. Many who can not leave home to do direct personal work, can mail copies of the journal, and follow up the interest awakened by missionary correspondence. Shall we not find in this work an avenue for much unused missionary ability in all our churches?

Elder Gradjin Bound for Manchuria

ELDER E. GRADJIN, who was invited by the General Conference to labor among the interested Russians in Manchuria, recently crossed the Ural Mountains on his way to that field. He was accompanied into Siberia by Elder J. T. Boettcher, where together they were to hold a few meetings.

Convention for City Mission Work

ELDER A. G. DANIELLS left Washington last week to attend a convention in New York City in the interests of city mission work. This convention will be attended by the leading workers in the Atlantic Union Conference. We trust that such plans may be laid as will greatly promote the extension of this important branch of missionary operations.

Second Sabbath Readings Distribution

In case there are church elders or leaders of companies who do not now receive regularly the Second Sabbath Readings, sent out by the Mission Board, such should notify their tract society secretary, that their names may be added to the list. The secretary will be glad to correct the oversight at the Mission Board office. All should have these night readings each month, and keep in touch with what our missionaries are doing.

Peace Agitation in the Watchman

The subject of “Peace Agitation” will be one of the leading questions considered in the Watchman for August. It will present a picture of the Peace Palace now in course of construction at The Hague. “Evils of Industrial Warfare,” “The Millennium,” “The Day of the Lord,” and other interesting articles will be presented.

Life and Health for July

CONTAINING much in the way of valuable suggestion for summer living, Life and Health for July will be found a most companionable and instructive number. This good journal should be found in every household, and particularly in the homes of the readers of the REVIEW. Its suggestions from month to month, if followed out carefully, will many times save the subscription price, than

Church-School Teachers Needed in the South

THERE is an opening for several consecrated church-school teachers in the Southern and Southeastern union conferences. This is a needy field, and affords a good opportunity for consecrated young people to work for the Master. All competent teachers who are interested in the church-school work in the South are invited to correspond with the educational secretary of these union conferences. Address M. B. Van Kirk, Graysville, Tenn.

Extend the Review’s Circulation

WHAT are you doing in extending the circulation of the REVIEW AND HERALD in your church? Are there members who do not have the benefits of its weekly visits? Could you better assist your brethren and sisters than to visit them, and induce them to subscribe for our church paper? Without it they can not keep abreast with the progress of this work. The REVIEW is a weekly chronicle of the progress of the message in all fields, and he who would be intelligent as to the advances made in the spread of this message should have this journal for regular reading.

College of Medical Evangelists Announcement

THE second annual announcement of the College of Medical Evangelists at Loma Linda, Cal., has been issued. It presents a strong faculty of instructors, with Dr. W. A. Ruble as president, and Dr. G. K. Abbott as dean. Four courses of study are offered: (1) the medical course, covering a period of five years; (2) the medical evangelist course, three years; (3) the evangelistic nurses' course, three years; and (4) the cooks' and bakers' course, one year. These are all years of nine months each. Particular interest attaches to the medical course, as this course of instruction is not offered by any other of our denominational schools. In this school, an opportunity is afforded to young men and women among Seventh-day Adventists, who desire to take up the work of the physician, to receive their training in our own school, without placing themselves under the influences to be found in the schools of the world. This school should receive the loyal and hearty support of our people everywhere. Only by such co-operation can it be made the success which we believe Providence designs it to be. We are confident that the future will demonstrate the wisdom of the advance step which has been taken in the development of this work, and that from this training-school will go out strong workers to bear a leading part in the carrying forward of this movement to the world. A copy of the announcement, together with any other information, may be obtained by addressing the dean, Dr. Geo. K. Abbott.
