Little Missionary Ripples

THE following letters tell how the Temperance number of Our Little Friend is being used by our children in the battle against the great blight of intemperance.
A sister in Los Angeles, Cal., writes:—
“Inclosed you will find a picture of the kindergarten children of Carr Street church, who have worked faithfully in selling the Temperance number of Our Little Friend. In this department alone, the children have disposed of 130 copies, and are still asking for more. Most of the children have gone alone on the street where they live, and sold the papers. Some of the children have given all the money received into the Sabbath school, while others have kept the money to invest in different missionary endeavors, such as buying temperance tracts and giving them away. All have shown great enthusiasm in the work, and they hope to double this number sold, next time.”
From Tennessee a little girl, ten years old, who started out with forty of the Temperance Little Friend, writes:—
“I sold them, and with the two dollars sent for eighty more. Mamma took me to — — twice, and I sold forty the first time and sixty the next time. — — is twenty miles away, and it costs so much to go there, and mamma stays with me all the time, or I could sell a lot more of the papers. I am sending three dollars today to the Harvest Ingathering fund, and with the money I get from the other twenty, which I shall sell around home, I am going to send for one dollar’s worth of tracts to distribute.”
From the Hawaiian Islands comes the following:—
“I am sending you a post card of our little children who love the Little Friend here in the Hawaiian Islands. I think you had a picture sent to you of little Sammie and Rachel Ching. You will find them in the front row in this picture, too. You would be surprised if I told you that they sell our good papers among their people. Just tonight a little boy, who is not in this picture, brought in $3.50 for missionary money to help us get out a Hawaiian book. The child had spent many hours getting this offering for the Lord’s work. Now, you see they are all ready to go out with the Temperance number of the Little Friend. I wish them much success in this good work; don’t you? And I hope many of our dear little boys and girls will try to sell some of the splendid temperance papers.”
The temperance fight will continue to be a live one the rest of this year, and longer. The Temperance number of Our Little Friend will not grow old in the fight. The children will rejoice at having a part in the work.
Two and one-half cents each in quantities. Order through the tract society.

Your Opportunity

By Editor

Isn’t there some one to whom you would like to have Elder Daniells tell of “The Power of This Great Message,” a truth that produces the same sanctifying effects upon every people of the world?
At the same time Elder Evans shows how “The Word of God Is the Uplifting Agency” in the world, and tells of its circulation and influences.
Elder Spicer calls to mind the many “Providential Agencies for a Quick Work.” How the work is to be finished in this generation,—intercommunication, transportation, transmission. Their real significance.
Elder Porter speaks on the subject of “Love, the Essential Element of God’s People.” Revealed at crucifixion. The true nature of “Satan’s kingdom” also revealed.
Sister White’s article, “Walking in the Light,” is a timely one. A work of reform in this generation. God’s Word, the test. Our relation to God depends upon our obedience.
Elder Covert tells of “The Sinner’s Fate.” What will it be? A fair question and a clear answer. What the Bible says.
Elder Vuilleumier speaks about “Spiritism,” its nature. Some interesting facts regarding it.
Brother Bowen contributes a few thoughts on “God’s Eternal Purpose in Christ.” The one foundation. Testing truths for every age. The test for our time.
Professor Price continues his interesting studies on “Reason or Revelation.” Modern thought and where it leads. Three centuries of progress.
Elder Reed, the editor, reviews “Current Events.” A valuable selection, relating strongly to Christian freedom and Sabbath observance.

Let the Signs tell the stories for you. You will recognize it as being a genuine message number; the clear note of gospel truth in every article.

The Day of Peace Far Distant

MANY times we find that the man of the world and of affairs in general possesses a better outlook and a clearer vision of the things which are coming on the earth than do many who pose as religious teachers. The reason for this is that too often the religious teacher endeavors to interpret the trend of events in harmony with his own preconceived notions. He has a theory to maintain, and he is loath to admit of any conclusion which will antagonize his hobby. The man of affairs has no theory to maintain, and he sees from the natural trend of events the shaping of great issues.
This is illustrated in the statements made by speaker Champ Clark in his address in Washington last Memorial Day. Speaking of the outlook before us from the standpoint of peace and war, Mr. Clark says:—
“All history is but one unending story of human butchery. All our boasted and multiplied arts of civilization are but preparations for the sacrifice of war — the festival of death.
“Despite the positive command of the Saviour, few, even of the best of us, ever pray for our enemies. If we do, it is with an elastic mental reservation. The day has not yet arrived when swords are beaten into plowshares or spears into pruning hooks; and, judging from facts which can be neither blinked nor denied, that era of perfect peace is out of sight in the distant future.
“With every nation of Europe supporting armaments of immense proportions and straining every nerve to augment them, it cannot be truthfully said that the world has attained that pacific status foretold in the gospel of the Prince of Peace. The clank of the sword is heard and the flash of the bayonet is seen in every quarter of the globe.”
Mr. Clark's statements are in direct line with the predictions of Sacred Writ. Centuries ago the prophet of God declared that the last days would be times of warfare; the nations of men would be busily engaged in preparation for the last great struggle for the supremacy of the world. A striking fulfillment of this is witnessed today in the active preparation for warfare which is going on in every land, and well do the men who are in the forefront of national affairs know what the future holds in store for the inhabitants of this world.
To the student of prophecy it is given to know this not alone from the shaping of human affairs, but also from the sure word of Scripture. Knowing it, may we prepare our own hearts for the times that are coming on the earth, and warn our fellows that they may likewise find in God the preparation which will sustain them in the day of trouble soon to come upon the world.
