Equador

GUAYAQUIL.—Brother and Sister Casebeer and I have just come back from a trip to the gold-mine district of Ecuador. The South American Developing Company have a forty-stamp mill near the town of Zeruma. We found this a very quiet mining camp, the quietness being attributed to the fact that no liquor is sold there. The wife of the manager, being religiously minded, advised the company to sell no liquor in their grocery store.

Our object on this trip was to sell Bibles and our denominational publications, and hold meetings as the way opened, also to collect names. I was able to deliver between three and four hundred sucres’ worth of the books on this trip, besides getting a number of interested ones on my list, with which to follow up the work. Right here it might be well to mention our opportunity to send literature by mail, as all publications go free through the post-office of Ecuador. If some of our brethren who are interested in the work here could send us, through the Mission Board, a club of about one hundred Senales, published at Valparaiso, Chile, we could do a good work with them through the mails. The cost would be about eighteen dollars gold a year for this number. Of course any amount would be acceptable, as we have no one sending a club of Spanish papers to us yet. The English Signs are being distributed as they come, among the English-speaking people of Ecuador.

I am encouraged in the Spanish sales of our works of late. At Machala, where a great deal of cocoa is grown, from one-half day’s work I took twenty orders for “Patriarchs,” the only book we have as yet in Spanish. This is the best success I have had since beginning the sale of our works some twelve years ago. Since the Chilean earthquake the brethren have gotten out a special Senales on earthquakes, which sells at ten cents; so now we are busy here, selling them. In five or six hours’ work one day I sold one hundred and five, which is the largest number of papers I ever sold in one day. I often think of a statement made by Sister White, that every effort of ours in the Lord’s work will be blessed. It is true, dear brethren. If you have not made a real effort, try it for yourselves.

To-day I have had several newsboys at the house, to buy papers to resell on the street. I have often wished that some earnest canvasser could be with me, to give me courage; but now that the newsboys are lending me a hand, it is more encouraging. Christ once said of the children, “If these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” I could use to good advantage a club of about ten each of the Youth’s Instructor, the Life and Health, and Liberty, if some friends choose to send them. We are encouraged to go on and finish the work, even if we have not seen much fruit for our labors as yet.

An Interesting Experience

BROTHER E. A. WESTCOTT, who is having a good experience on the Richmond River, New South Wales, Australia, canvassing, writes:—

“This week has been a good one in every respect. I have traveled many miles through very rough country, populated by Methodists and Roman Catholics, both of whom housed me and treated me like a king; at any rate I felt that I was a son of a King. My best business was with the Roman Catholics, ‘Desire of Ages’ appeals to them. I have had many good experiences in the country. I travel on and on, and at the end of the day some one whom I never saw before welcomes me in and keeps me all night. My greatest difficulty has been to get away from the people.

“Some time ago I took an order from a Roman Catholic. I delivered the book early, as the man wanted it to read. A few days later he was killed on the street. I then met a lady who is a friend of the family. Briefly she told me that he had turned from religion, but that my canvass had stopped his downward career, and he had said to his wife, after receiving the book, ‘Well, it is of no use trying to keep Christ away from the house when a stranger brings him to the door.’ Rev. 3:20 came to my mind. How much this book did only God knows. His wife assured me that he changed marvelously, and she is greatly comforted. I am glad to tell of this, as it encourages prompt delivery. I am well, happy, and trustful in my work.”

Proceedings of the British Columbia Conference

By P. P. Adams

The regular annual meeting of the British Columbia Conference was held in the Seventh-day Adventist church at Vancouver, Dec. 28, 1906, to Jan. 1, 1907. Twenty delegates represented this conference, and the North Pacific Union Conference was represented by Elders W. B. White and H. W. Decker, Prof. M. E. Cady, and Brother A. G. Adams.

The following resolutions of general interest were adopted to outline the work for the coming year:—

“Resolved, That Indian missions be established at Port Simpson and other points as the way may open; and that this conference adopt the following recommendations made by the sub-committee of the British Columbia and North Pacific Union Conferences:— “1. That we purchase two hundred acres of land located on Works Channel at Island Bay, Northwest British Columbia, for an Indian industrial mission. “2. That we each agree to surrender to the British Columbia Conference (if said conference desires to purchase) said land. “3. That we invite the North Pacific Union Conference to credit back to the British Columbia Conference its foreign missionary trust funds, including the second tithe, until said mission site is paid for. “4. We suggest that the name of this mission shall be Island Bay Industrial Indian Mission. “5. We suggest to the British Columbia Conference Committee that said mission be established, and that simple industries, such as tin and sheet-iron work, net making, boat building, tanning, glove making, hand canning, and a small trading post, be established as soon as advisable. “6. We recommend that as soon as advisable a teacher be employed and a school opened for the benefit of the children and young people. “7. We recommend further that Elder T. H. Watson be invited to connect with this work under pay of the British Columbia Conference. “8. We would suggest that the foregoing resolutions can not be successfully carried into effect without a boat.”

E. L. STEWART, W. B. WHITE, G. E. TYSZKIEWITZ, MRS. HANNAH TYSZKIEWITZ, MRS. M. E. WATSON, T. H. WATSON.”

“Resolved, That a suitable school building be erected on the school farm at Port Hammond, and that this conference take steps to raise fifteen hundred dollars for this purpose; and we further recommend that this school be placed upon an academic basis.

“Resolved, That we recommend the adoption of the General Conference recommendation in regard to our superannuated or disabled workers and their families.

“Resolved, That we recommend (1) that all our people be encouraged to buy our books which are now on the shelves in our office; (2) that our secretary be instructed to advertise these books extensively among our people; (3) that the full price of these books be paid, for the purpose of liquidating the tract society debt and restocking for more efficient work.

“Recognizing the fact that to Seventh-day Adventists the REVIEW AND HERALD is the best paper in the world, and that in order to keep abreast of the advancing work, it should be in the homes of all our people; therefore,—

“Resolved, That we will make an earnest effort to see that each church-member has this good paper, and where there are families too needy to subscribe, we shall try to induce the church to send it to them free.

“Whereas, The North Pacific Union Gleaner has been established in our union as a medium of exchange between the several conferences and the field workers, bringing to the homes of the people each week the progress of the work in the several parts of the union, therefore,—

“Resolved, That the coming year we shall endeavor to extend its circulation among our people in this province, and that from time to time we will contribute to its columns reports of labor and items of interest.”

Since the last conference some additions have been made to our force of workers; this has been warranted by the increase of the tithes. Four ministers and four Bible workers have been employed. There has been $3,232.60 received as tithes during the last seven months, or nearly three times as much as was received during the past seven months, making $19.35 per capita.

Ministerial credentials were granted just to the following-named persons: E. L. Stewart, J. L. Wilson, W. C. Young, Prof. P. P. Adams, T. H. Watson, and missionary license to E. C. Widgery, Henry Pierce, David Dodge, Lim Ping, and Mrs. E. C. Widgery.

The newly organized church at Vernon was admitted into the conference. Pledges amounting to about seven hundred and fifty dollars were received on the school fund, and the question of raising the remainder of the fifteen hundred dollars, as well as funds for camp-meetings and the furnishing of the Indian mission with a boat, was referred to the incoming conference committee.

The officers for the following year were elected as follows: President, E. L. Stewart; Secretary and Treasurer, Bertha Lofstad; Educational Secretary, P. P. Adams; Executive Committee, E. L. Stewart, W. C. Young, J. L. Wilson, Wm. Manson, S. A. Wilband.

The spirit of the meeting was good throughout, and the action of the conference generally harmonious.

P. P. ADAMS, Secretary.

To Our Canvassers

By Arthur L. Manous

For some time I have been wondering why the book “Daniel and the Revelation” was not handled more by our canvassers. From my observation, and from the scripture which says, “The curse causeless shall not come,” I concluded that there might be at least one reason mentioned.

Some time ago there appeared, if I mistake not, an article in the REVIEW to the effect that the inscription, “Vicarious Filii Dei,” was not on the pope’s crown as stated in “Daniel and the Revelation.” And I do not doubt nor question the author’s honesty or sincerity at all in making the statement.

But this has, however, weakened the confidence of some of our people in the positions taken in “Daniel and the Revelation” on some of the prophecies. But there is no reason why our canvassers should be afraid to handle this book. In the light of the article by Elder D. E. Scales in the REVIEW of Dec. 20, 1906,—which be sure to read,—and in the light of what the spirit of prophecy has said, we need not entertain the least doubt of the value and importance of this book. We should rather continue to work for it.

Note with what books “Daniel and the Revelation” is classed, and what is said of them: “‘Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,’ and ‘Great Controversy,’ and ‘Patriarchs and Prophets’ will make their way. They contain the very message the people must have, the special light God has given his people. The angels of God prepare the way for these books in the hearts of the people. . . . Of all the books that have come from the press, those mentioned have been of the greatest consequence in the past, and are at the present time. I know that ‘Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation’ has done a great work in this country [Australia]. I know also that the . . . books I have published have done a good work, and I praise the Lord for this. Other books have stood in their lot and place.”—Special Instruction Regarding Royalties, pages 9, 12.

“The important books containing the truth regarding Satan’s apostasy in heaven, should be given wide circulation just now; for through them the truth will reach many minds. ‘Patriarchs and Prophets,’ ‘Daniel and the Revelation,’ and ‘Great Controversy’ are needed now as never before. They should be widely circulated because the truth they emphasize will open many blind eyes.”

“Many of our people have been blind to the importance of the very books that were most needed. Had tact and skill been shown in the sale of these books, the Sunday law would not be where it is to-day.”—Mrs. E. G. White.

Egypt

By Jay Nethery; Ella Nethery

ALEXANDRIA.—We have reported but little for the REVIEW, but it has not been due to inactivity. How glad we were when we sighted the low shores of old Egypt, on the eighteenth of November! It reminded us of the homelike country of Holland. We were soon off the "Orione," and attending to our baggage, the impediment of the traveler. We were met by an employee of the steamship line, who helped us in every possible way to make our arrangements. It was startling to see a native below the average size allow a piece of baggage, weighing about three hundred and fifty pounds, to be put upon his back, and carry it down the gang-plank. For this we were under obligation to offer him an “extra tip” of a small piaster, which is equal to two and one-half cents.

In a few days we were in a home of our own. All our boxes were converted into furniture, and even then we were not fully equipped; so some lumber was purchased, and tables, dressers, cupboards, commodes, and the like were made to order.

The weather is delightful. There is sunshine every day, and the soft breezes of the sea are a tonic not common to the inhabitants of Wyoming in midwinter. We were saying the other day that these bare-footed natives knew very little about winter breezes such as are prevalent in the States.

This is a very busy city, with some really pretty streets. Sights of different kinds are to be seen. All seem to have work to do. How different from some of the cities of England, where can be seen hundreds of unemployed. There are but few beggars, in consequence. This is one indication of the prosperity of the country.

The natives are a quiet people generally. Anything of an unusual appearance seems to have but little effect upon them. A stranger may go along the streets and not be stared at as in some of the other so-called civilized portions of earth. One day, while walking by the shipping docks, I spied a ship employee praying. How devoted he seemed; and the bustle and stir of his fellow workmen on the other end of the boat was not at all disturbing to him. He would stand erect, then bow, with his head upon his breast, then prostrate himself, touching his face to the deck of the ship. As soon as his prayers were finished, he joined his crew in work. The religion of the natives is one of works. How much this part of the world needs the truth of justification by faith, which is perfect obedience to the third angel’s message.

There are many who are having their attention brought to the truth. Two young men have recently been met who have an interest in our work, and they say that the Sabbath must be kept, and have started to keep it. We are greatly encouraged by this, and pray that they may grow in the knowledge of the truth. Their mother is interested, as well. Others are beginning to inquire about the message. In a few days we intend to visit Cairo and Luxor. At these places there are some of our people located.

The language is the most essential thing to have first. This we are working on. It is indeed encouraging to see these natives respond to the few words we can speak. I have a vocabulary now of one hundred words. As soon as we learn a word, we try to make use of it. One old man who sells fruit on the street corner has an interest in us, and as we speak Arabic to him, he laughs, and endeavors to give us the benefit of his understanding of the language, which is perhaps not correct.

We are of good cheer. Although the obstacles are seemingly overwhelming, the spirit of prophecy tells us that these will be overcome in the giving of this message to the world. We are praying that the Lord will send laborers into the vineyard. Egypt is a needy portion. JAY NETHERY, ELLA NETHERY.

Danish-Norwegian Memorial

By L. JOHNSON; C. A. THORP; P. E. BERTHELSEN; M. L. ANDREASEN; L. H. CHRISTIAN

To our American Brethren, Greeting:—

We, the Danish-Norwegian mission workers assembled in missionary institute at Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 3-13, 1907, desire to present to you some statements and facts regarding the work among the people of our own nationalities in America.

We desire first of all to express our sincere appreciation of the deep interest taken by our American brethren in the work for our own people. It has been with real pleasure that we have noted the great willingness shown to assist and encourage us in our work. We greatly desire that there should ever be the fullest mutual confidence and co-operation between us and our American brethren. We desire no separate conference organization, as we think our present connection with the State conference and the general work to be in harmony with the light given through the spirit of prophecy. We are in harmony with the plan of having a general superintendent of our work and a corresponding secretary, as we feel assured that this tends to greatly advance and unify the work.

God's remnant people have a great work to do,—world-wide in its scope,—and we can not afford to let national feelings or barriers cause any separation or disharmony in our ranks. God's people must stand together. His work is one.

We believe, however,—as we feel assured you do also,—that God has given to every man his work, and that we Danes' and Norwegians have a special work to do for our own people. We believe that God holds us responsible for bringing to them the light of the third angel's message, and it is our earnest desire to be faithful in this work.

There are in this country seventeen ordained Danish-Norwegian ministers, eight licentiates, and twelve other workers. We have about thirty-three churches and 1,744 members. This number does not, of course, include the hundreds of American brethren of Scandinavian parentage. Our laborers are scattered over twelve conferences, which makes the work quite difficult. We are grateful to these conferences for permitting and encouraging their Scandinavian laborers to attend this missionary convention. May it redound to God's glory.

According to the latest statistics obtainable there are 1,700,000 Danes and Norwegians in the United States. The greater number of these prefer the Danish-Norwegian language, and more than half of them can never be reached in any other tongue. They are an intelligent and industrious people, and experience has proved that they are not only willing to accept the truth of the third angel's message, but that they become loyal supporters of the truth we all love. We think it is generally acknowledged that the Scandinavian people are faithful and liberal in paying their tithes and offerings, and no special call ever fails of meeting a hearty response among this people.

We have no separate schools, sanitariums, or other institutions to finance. With the permission of the State conferences, we have gathered some money for an educational and literature fund. The sum needed was not large, and the people have been willing to help. In the raising of this money we have counseled with the different State conferences, as we desire each State to know how much money is given by its members.

We do not write this memorial to ask for any special favors. We feel that our churches are an integral part of the conference where they belong, and that our needs will be supplied. We desire to assure you of our faith in the message, and of our desire to co-operate in loyal unity with our American brethren in the great work committed to us as a people—the proclamation of the third angel's message to the world in this generation.

On behalf of the Danish-Norwegian mission workers of America, (Signed) L. JOHNSON, C. A. THORP, P. E. BERTHELSEN, M. L. ANDREASEN, L. H. CHRISTIAN,

A Visit to Northern China

By H. W. Miller

We have met with some delay in securing the title for our land. This necessitated my going to Peking for legal counsel. However, we hope to be able to do printing, and live in a part of the building, before next spring. Had it not been for the delay, we should probably have had the building erected by this time.

This trip to Peking gave me an opportunity to see the northern part of China, and the vast field there lying unworked. In fact, Honan has 7,500,000 people north of the Yellow River, without a single worker. More people are in this small area than in the continent of Australia. Chili is also a very thickly populated province, with several very large inland cities, the territory being largely a plain. I find that we were understood fully as well as in our own province. I stayed with a Dr. Lowry, a Methodist missionary, who has spent his life in the place, having been born there, and from him I learned many interesting facts about that city and the northern portions of China, including Manchuria.

About one half the population of Peking are Manchurians. Their language is the pure Mandarin. The great port for north China is Tien-tsin, which is only three-hours' ride on the train from Peking, and which is to the province of Chili what Hankow is to Honan. We earnestly hope that our message may soon enter this vast territory.

To-day (December 2) Misses Erickson and Simpson left us for America. They stayed with us but two days, being anxious to reach Shanghai early. We trust, however, that their stay will not be permanent, but that they will return, when sufficiently recuperated, to some part of this vast field. However, our force of workers has not decreased, for only ten days ago I met at Shanghai my brother and Mr. Orvie Gibson, who are now here, and of the best courage, spending their time principally on language work; they will be of great help to us just at this time, with the establishment of our printing work. It was a great pleasure to meet them. The language will doubtless come much easier to them now than later, as well as learning the habits and customs of the people.

Canada

By W. H. Thurston

The gospel work is steadily onward in the Canadian Union Conference; and here and there are being added to the church such as shall be saved. Elder Leland and his wife, who have been connected with the Lornedale Academy from the starting of the school, have gone into the field to labor, and W. E. Hancock and his wife have taken their places in the school.

The attendance has increased somewhat recently, and the work seems to be going on well. With the hope of a new school building next summer, the outlook is still more encouraging.

The work at the Williamsdale Academy is progressing nicely, and there are thirty-one students in attendance at the present time. Elder E. E. Gardner and his wife are the teachers in this school, and are giving the best of satisfaction. We have also a few church-schools, and we hear good reports from these.

It has been with difficulty and much perplexity that these academies have been established, but it is gratifying to see the interest manifested on the part of our young people to prepare for service in the Master’s work. As all take hold and co-operate heartily in this department, it will not be long until we shall have a good force of Canadian workers.

Our sanitarium work has been interrupted since November, but we are in hopes of recovering from the unfortunate conditions in which we find ourselves. Where treatment rooms are being conducted, the patronage is good, and the results are gratifying. Our nurses who are engaged in private work, as far as we know, are meeting with success.

Our publishing work is slightly improving, and now that we have a general canvassing agent, we hope greatly to revive this very important department of our work. The general agent, T. S. Jones, is laboring in Ontario this winter. We are planning a workers’ meeting for the Quebec Conference in April, and we hope to hold a canvassers’ institute in connection with this meeting. Brother J. S. Jones will be present to give instruction in the book work, and to assist all in getting started who may be recommended to go into the field. After spending some weeks in Quebec, Brother Jones will pass on to the Maritime Conference and connect with the Williamsdale Academy near its close, to give instruction in the canvassing work, and assist the students in starting in the work, after which he will return to Ontario. Those desiring to attend school can go out with books during the summer and earn a scholarship.

Our ministerial force has been somewhat augmented by the arrival of two ministers from the States, and we are expecting one more in the early spring. We are hoping and praying for greater results this year than we have seen in the past. There seems to be greater desire on the part of the public, in some localities at least, to hear the message, and we believe that as the laborers go forth with a burden for souls, many will be brought into the fold.

The Dominion Sunday law goes into effect the first of March; and while there is a clause which forbids action or prosecution for the violation of the law, without the leave of the attorney-general for the province in which the offense is alleged to have been committed, the promoters of the act are hopeful that this will not seriously hinder the enforcement of the law, and they are trying to bring pressure to bear upon the attorney-generals to secure their co-operation in enforcing the law. This law forbids not only the work of one’s ordinary calling, but the doing of, or the employing of any other person to do, any work, labor, or business for gain on the first day of the week. When the bill, which has now become law, was being discussed in Parliament, one member of Parliament said: “I want to see one Sabbath in Canada, and one only. . . . There is only room in this country for one Sabbath. . . . I feel that we should have simply one law for every class of people in Canada, and if these people (seventh-day people) do not like it, they need not come here.” It is not difficult to discern the times and seasons in which we are living.

Spanish Honduras

By H. C. Goodrich

LA CEIBA.—We arrived here last week, after a tedious trip of nine days. We came as far as Coxen Hole in a twenty-four-ton schooner. From there we took the mail boat, a sloop of about twenty tons, for La Ceiba; but a windstorm coming up, we took shelter at Hog Island, where we remained one day. Two of our brethren — father and son — live here, who are members of the French Harbor church. They are caring for a large cocoanut plantation, and live on this island all alone. We had a good visit with them, and held some Bible readings; also took their order for REVIEW, Signs, Instructor, and lesson pamphlet, and left them much encouraged.

With calms and a strong current against us, we were thirty-six hours coming to La Ceiba, only twenty miles distant. This trip was especially hard for Mrs. Goodrich; but she is recovering nicely, and is enjoying a good time with Mrs. Allen and the children.

Every day I am looking for a chance to go to Bonacca. Twice I thought I had such an opportunity, but failed. I think I have never had a more difficult time trying to get somewhere.

Mr. Allen has gone to New Orleans since we came here, to get a change of climate for a few months, and to take a course of study in dentistry. He was only waiting our coming to make it possible for him to go.

H. C. GOODRICH.

Field Notes

Two more persons have begun to keep the Sabbath at Chippewa Falls, Wis., where Brother Byron Post is located.

BRETHREN I. G. KNIGHT and I. F. Thorn recently held a three weeks' series of meetings at Preston, Kan., as a result of which three persons promised to obey the truth.

BROTHER J. M. REES reports the baptism of five pupils of the church-school at Barber's Mills, Ind., the conversion and baptism of eight persons at Mechanicsburg during some meetings held there, and one more to be added to the church at Kokomo.

BROTHER J. M. BURDICK reports three persons as recently beginning to keep the Sabbath at Rock Falls, Ill.

SISTER JESSIE HUNTER, at work in Dallas, Tex., reports three new Sabbathkeepers who are attending the church, and others interested.

FIFTEEN new ones have signed the covenant to keep God's Sabbath as a result of meetings held in Brooklyn, N. Y., by Brother L. H. Proctor.

THE church at Daisy, Ark., had become disorganized on account of the death of both elder and deacon. Brother H. Clay Griffin has recently reorganized the church with a membership of twelve. Four were baptized, and two others are soon to follow.

BRETHREN MORRIS LUKENS and V. H. Lucas have had increasing interest in hall meetings held in Baltimore, Md. They are now presenting the Sabbath and other testing truths. They have also recently begun meetings in Glen Burnie, a suburb. Four meetings a week are held in each place.

BROTHER A. NELSON, president of the Oklahoma Conference, says, in the conference paper, “Brother Mays writes from Supply that another man and his wife have been converted, and have begun keeping the Sabbath of the Lord. We are glad to see several of our brethren getting the missionary spirit, going out in the winter and holding meetings and working with the people. They have organized a Sabbath-school of fifteen members, and it is doing well.”
