A Breast-Pocket Encyclopedia on “Present Truth.”

By O. A. Johnson

THE BIBLE TEXT-BOOK,

By O. A. JOHNSON,
Former Instructor in Bible and Bible History in Union College, College View, Neb.
This is a handy little volume of 208 pages, for everyday use, put up in two styles of bindings, cloth and leather, and covering very fully THE FAITH OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. It is, in fact, a compendium of the doctrines they hold, being a scripture-reference handbook, concise, logical, and scriptural.
The BIBLE TEXT-BOOK is treated under forty-nine chapters, and for greater convenience has a general index of topics. It also contains the five valuable charts used by the author in his lectures, which by photography have been reduced to the size of the page.
This little volume will prove very helpful to ministers, teachers, students, and Bible workers,— indeed it is not extravagant to say it is suited to all classes. It is just the thing to place in the hands of those who desire to know what we believe, and why we believe it, as references to book, chapter, and verse are always given, and the historical extracts are well authenticated.
The book can be ordered at once of —
REVIEW AND HERALD, BATTLE CREEK, MICH.
Prices will be —
In Cloth binding....................50c In Morocco cover....................75c
Further particulars will be given later. Size, about 3½ by 6 inches.

LIVING FOUNTAINS or BROKEN CISTERNS,

By E. A. Sutherland

An Educational Problem for Protestants.
By PROF. E. A. SUTHERLAND,
Is a work on education, which has a field entirely of its own.
One of the greatest problems that confronts Seventh-day Adventists is the correct education of the children and youth.
“Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” is a work that points out the dangers of following the old, or pagan, system of education, shows the necessity of adopting a system of education that will lead our children to Christ, and gives valuable aid in obtaining this much-desired end. It is as a bright and shining beacon light, showing the snares and pitfalls of the false education, and at the same time clearly pointing out the correct way.
Every teacher and parent should possess a copy, and carefully study it.
“Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” contains 380 pages, printed from new type, substantially bound in cloth. Price, $1.25.
Address orders to your tract society, or to the—
Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.; also Pacific Press Pub. Co., Oakland, Cal.
BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Sept. 11, 1900. DEAR BROTHER SUTHERLAND: I have carefully read “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns,” and I think the book is calculated to do much good. It sets forth the principles and the history of true education, together with the growth of Protestantism, and also the educational system of the papacy. Having read the book, I can but wish it were placed in the hands of every family, that all might see the influence of pagan and papal schools. Our youth need an education that is practical. The Bible is the foundation of Christian education; and where it is necessary to have books, the books used should contain nothing but truth, that their influence upon the mind may be helpful. “Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns” shows the absolute necessity of making the Bible the foundation of Christian education, and I recommend it to all our people.
S. N. HASKELL.
BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Aug. 10, 1900. REVIEW AND HERALD: I have recently had an opportunity to look carefully through the new volume by Professor Sutherland, “Living Fountains.” It is an excellent work, and the best presentation of educational reform in the truest sense, which I have seen. I wish it might be in every family. It should be carefully studied as a textbook by parents, and by all who have to do with children.
Very truly yours,
J. H. KELLOGG.

Christian Patriotism Pamphlet Recommended as Timely Reading

Now that the United States is making herself the special champion of Christianity in China, Christian patriotism will, one of these days, become a watchword and an issue. Therefore the pamphlet “Christian Patriotism” is present truth, and is timely. Let it be spread everywhere just now, before the actual crisis comes, so that the people may be informed. “Christian Patriotism” is companion to “The Marshaling of the Nations,” which thousands upon thousands of persons know is timely. The price is 15 cents; 104 pages. The two—“Christian Patriotism” and “Marshaling of the Nations”—fit well together, for 25 cents. Order of Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., or of Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.

Powers Demand Indemnities as China Faces Partition

THE world-powers are trying to avoid the partitioning of China, by requiring indemnity for each of themselves; when everybody knows that China could not possibly pay the indemnities that will be demanded, and that each Power will hold territory as security for this indemnity. Italy, which had about the smallest interest or army involved, demands seven and a half millions of dollars; and the pope enters a claim for twelve millions for “losses of the church.” What, then, are likely to be the claims of Russia, Germany, Britain, and the United States? And thus, as a leading journal remarks, “Indemnity is easily made tantamount to annexation.” Later: The London Daily Mail says that Russia has placed her claim at five hundred millions of dollars.
THE NEW YORK Times calls attention to the indication that some of the Powers that have definite and separate objects and interests in China, “are evidently trying to use, not only their own respective forces, but those of the Powers which have no separate objects or interests, to obtain their respective ends;” and says that the United States is one of the Powers whose forces they are trying to “use.” Who could reasonably expect anything else?

Keeping Up With the Review and Herald

A SISTER who had missed the REVIEW for two weeks declared that she found herself away behind the times. That is so. The REVIEW AND HERALD is kept strictly up to date; and whoever does not read it is certain to be behind the times.

England Proposes Compulsory Military Drill in Schools

THE Union Gospel News says that it is proposed in England to “make military drill compulsory in the public and boarding schools, with regular army officers as drill masters.” If that be true, the same thing may be expected to be adopted in the United States very soon.

Signs of the Times Special World's Outlook Number

By Editor

In November next the Signs of the Times is to issue a special number on the general subject of “The World’s Outlook.” Arrangements are already made to put it into the hands of all the ministers and editors in the nation. It is expected to be ready for distribution November 1. We hope every reader of the REVIEW will get a copy for himself, and also do all he can to put a copy into the hands of each family of his neighbors and friends.

Nations Called Christian Are Really Pagan

THE Independent exclaims: “What a sight it is to see the pagan empire of Japan protesting against the barbarities of a Christian nation engaged in war in China!” But there is no Christian nation making war in China. Nations are all either pagan, papal, or the image of the papal — dragon, beast, and false prophet; that is to say, pagan or worse. And it is not very surprising that a pagan empire should protest against barbarities of nations worse than pagan.

Witch's Prophecy of War and the Battle of Armageddon

In the Chicago American of September 9 Mr. W. T. Stead, the noted London publicist, reports a visit that he lately made to a French witch,—“seeress,” he calls her,—who told him, concerning the China tangle, that “the time will come, perhaps at the end of a year, when the Japanese will retire very well pleased with themselves, and they will take no more part in the war with China. Then you will think there is going to be peace; but there will not be peace, for the war, which has begun in the east, will begin again in the west, of China; and this time the Turks will be in, and the fate of Constantinople will be decided. It will be a great war, and a terrible war.” Mr. Stead is moved to remark that what she has told him will “justify some degree of uneasiness as to whether or not the battle of Armageddon may not be nearer to us than any one has ventured to believe.” This may be so with those who get their information from witches; but not with those who are instructed by the Bible. For all this is told in the Bible; and those who have read it as it is, have known these things for a long time: and Armageddon is not nearer than those have ventured to believe. How singular it is that men will believe witches more readily than they will believe the word of God. It is not strange that this witch should know these things; for it is the spirits of devils which go forth to gather these very nations—the kings of the East, which are the kings of the earth and the whole world—to the battle of Armageddon.

Great News from Peking: Whose God Is Marching?

In the Michigan Christian Advocate of August 25 was an editorial note in these words: “Great news from Peking! Our God is marching on.” Just at that time the news from Peking was that Peking had been taken by the allied armies, with considerable slaughter and destruction. At that rate, it will not be long before a pertinent question to be asked the Michigan Christian Advocate will be, Who is your god?
