“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.

Mallernee.—Baby Lawrence Verner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Mallernee, was born in Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 4, 1901, and died Jan. 1, 1902. The little bud of promise has faded, sweetly sleeping till the Life-giver shall come to gather up His jewels. Funeral at the home, 15 Glenwood Ave., and burial in Oak Hill Cemetery. T. D. Van Horn.
Jones.—I. M. Jones was born in Onondaga Co., N. Y., March 26, 1824, and died suddenly of heart-disease in Monterey, Allegan Co., Mich., Jan. 15, 1902. At the age of twenty-three he was converted and united with the M. E. Church of Baldwinsville, N. Y., and for a long time was a class leader in that church. In 1856 he accepted the doctrine of the soon coming of Christ and the Bible Sabbath, under the labors of Elder M. E. Cornell. He united with the Seventh-day Adventists, and remained a faithful member till the close of his life. The funeral was held January 17, in the Monterey church. The writer, assisted by Elder M. S. Burnham, conducted the service. The chosen text was John 14:1-3. I. D. Van Horn.

For a number of years mother had not enjoyed good health, but her death came suddenly and unexpectedly, she being wholly confined to her bed only four days, when she quietly fell asleep in Jesus. Mother accepted the truth about thirty years ago, and her quiet way did what she could to forward the message. Father and five children are left to mourn. We deeply feel our loss, but sorrow not as others who have no hope. Elder J. N. Anderson was expected, but failing to come, the writer spoke from Rev. 14:13, and Brother H. Anderson spoke words of comfort in Danish. She was a true Christian mother, and we laid her away to await the voice of the Life-giver. N. P. Nielsen.

He leaves a wife and six children, but we mourn not without hope; for of him it can be said, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” Mrs. May Rasmussen.
Berger.—Grandma Berger, of South Omaha, Neb., died suddenly of pneumonia, Jan. 7, 1902, aged 76 years, 11 months, 20 days.

Blosser, at Orangeville, where we laid her to rest till the Life-giver shall come. S. H. Lane.
Smith.—Fell asleep in Jesus at Lansing, Mich., July 5, 1901, our dear sister in Christ, A. E. Downer Smith, aged about 76 years. Sister Smith accepted present truth about seven years ago.

G. Moore.
Krager.—Died at Glenwood, Mich., Jan. 12, 1902, Mrs. Sarah Krager, wife of Julius S. Krager, and daughter of Samuel Cramer, aged 43 years, 11 months, 11 days.

Five years ago she received the message of Christ’s second coming, in which she rejoiced until her death. She leaves a husband and five children. W. C. Hebner.
Mallard.—Died at Brattleboro, Vt., Jan. 11, 1902, Mrs. Ellen C. Mallard, aged 70 years. She was converted at the age of twelve, and united with the Baptist Church. Seventeen years ago she accepted the Third Angel’s Message, and was faithful in all known duties until her death. She distributed a great deal of literature among her friends. She also aided the cause financially. She leaves one brother, Elder G. B. Wheeler, and two sisters. The funeral was conducted by the writer at her home in Brattleboro. J. W. Watt.

Death of Elder J. F. Hansen.

John Frederick Hansen was born in Denmark, Oct. 8, 1840, and died in Oakland, Cal., Jan. 6, 1902. In November, 1885, he accepted present truth, and began preaching with all the ardor of his soul. After the death of Brother Matteson, Brother Hansen was the oldest Scandinavian minister in our ranks. His evangelistic work has been abundant in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and in the Scandinavian countries. He labored also in Chicago, Ill., and Brooklyn, N. Y. In the death of Elder Hansen, many who will read this notice lose their spiritual father in the faith. He leaves a wife and one granddaughter in Oakland, a grandson in the State of Washington, a brother in Denmark, and a sister in Minnesota. The funeral service was conducted in the Oakland church, January 8, Elder J. O. Corliss and the writer officiating. We have laid him away to rest in Mountain View cemetery until the Lord shall call forth those who have died in the faith, keeping His truth, to hear the everlasting covenant pronounced upon those who have honored Him by keeping His holy law. J. N. Loughborough.

Southwestern Union Conference.

By C. McReynolds

The first biennial session of the Southwestern Union Conference will be held April 15–30, 1902. The place is not yet decided upon, but it will be at some point in southern Kansas. We hope many will plan to attend. Elders Daniells and Prescott, and others, will be present to give instruction. A full week of Bible study will precede the Conference business session. C. McREYNOLDS, Pres.

Farmers’ Institute.

By E. A. Sutherland

The Christian Farmers’ Institute was advertised in the Emanuel Missionary College Calendar to be held January 29 to February 2. It has been found necessary to postpone this institute, as plans have been laid to begin an active campaign on “Christ’s Object Lessons” in the Lake Union District, February 7. This makes it necessary for those who are specially interested in the Christian Farmers’ Institute to be out in the field at the time stated. The Farmers’ Institute will therefore be held March 7–9, 1902.
Vital questions which Christian farmers must meet sooner or later are forcing themselves upon the attention of the world to-day. These questions deal with fundamental principles in farming. Will Seventh-day Adventist farmers be the head in this reform work, or will they be the tail? This is a question for you to decide. Those who are interested in the study of God’s plan for tilling the soil, and who wish to participate in this institute, should write to the undersigned, at Berrien Springs, Mich.
E. A. SUTHERLAND.

Convention Call.

MICHIGAN STATE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE CONVENTION, FEB. 10, 11, 1902.
1. To consider the subject of local option for counties.
2. To consider the subject of prohibition amendment to State Constitution.
A number of counties in Michigan are expecting to vote on local option next April. Among these are Eaton, St. Joseph, Gratiot, Isabella, Newaygo, and possibly Livingston and Oakland. Some others have been organized for the fight, but will not put in their petitions till next year.
If there were but one county in Michigan to vote on “Saloon, or no saloon,” every temperance man and woman in Michigan should be interested in the fight. No matter whether you live in the county that is to vote or not, it is your fight. The liquor men stand together, and every county that tries to drive out the saloon has to fight the liquor traffic of the whole State of Michigan. The saloons in the Upper Peninsula will give money to fight prohibition in St. Joseph County, or any of the counties. But if we can enlist all the temperance people of the State of Michigan to help fight this battle against all the liquor men of the State, we shall have the men and the means to succeed.
1. How shall we help these counties?
2. How shall we secure tons of literature for distribution?
3. How shall we get the State Issue into every home in these counties?
4. How shall we secure the best speakers of the State to enlighten and arouse the people?
5. How shall we secure the means to carry on this fight? Shall we meet the enemy and defeat him? Or shall we acquiesce in his dwelling in our land and consuming our labor and breaking up our homes, and hindering the work of our churches?
At a recent liquor dealers’ convention they put up the sign: “Down with the white-livered preachers!”
A wealthy liquor man boasted, “We have plenty of money to buy the politicians, and we will soon close all the churches.”
The undersigned, believing that the saloon is a continual menace to the home, a constant corrupter of politics, a breeder of vice and crime, a debaucher of youth, and a hindrance to the Church, do hereby call upon the good citizens of Michigan to meet in a convention in the city of Lansing, Feb. 10 and 11, 1902, to plan for the promotion of temperance as indicated above.
We hereby urge the following organizations each to send at least one delegate, viz.:—
All Christian Churches.
All Young People’s Societies.
All Woman’s Christian Temperance Unions.
All Good Templar Lodges.
All Granges and Farmers’ Clubs.
All other societies interested in the objects of the convention.
Some of the best temperance speakers of the State and nation will be on the program.
We expect to secure railroad rates.
Signed by the following individuals on their own personal responsibility, and not for any society in which they may be officers:—
NAMES.                 ADDRESS.                 REMARKS.

Michigan, Attention!

By S. E. Wight

A CANVASSERS’ institute will be held at Berrien Springs, February 18 to March 11. The food will be furnished at the college on the European plan. Board and room will not cost more than two dollars a week, and in most cases less. You can estimate the expense of attending by adding to the six dollars for three weeks’ board (the greatest amount necessary) the railroad fare from your home to Berrien Springs.
It is hoped that all the churches in the State will take an interest in this institute, and send as many as possible to be educated as workers in the Master’s vineyard. We are told by the Spirit of the Lord that “hundreds of young men should have been preparing to act a part in the work of scattering the seeds of truth beside all waters. . . . Our churches are called upon to take hold of this work with far greater earnestness than has yet been manifested. Every church should make special provision for the training of its missionaries, thus aiding the fulfillment of the great command, ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.’ My brethren, we have erred and sinned in attempting too little.”
My brethren, let us not err by attempting too little in these last days of this work. S. E. WIGHT.

Until further notice the address of John F. Jones will be Oxford, Md.

Another Pioneer Fallen.

By John Norton Loughborough

LUNT.—Noah Norton Lunt was born in Calais, Me., May 3, 1821, and died Wednesday, Jan. 8, 1902, in Oakland, Cal., at the age of 80 years, 8 months, and 5 days. He was first married to Rebekah E. Chamberlain, who lived but a short time after their marriage. He afterward married Sarah H. Chamberlain, the sister of his first wife, by whom he had six children, four girls and two boys. Of these only two remain,—the oldest daughter, the wife of C. H. Jones, of Oakland; and the youngest son, a resident of Los Angeles,—both of whom were present at the funeral. His second wife died in Battle Creek, Mich., in the summer of 1867. In 1869 he was married to Frances Howland, who survives him.
Brother Lunt received the Advent message under the preaching of William Miller, in Portland, Me., about the year 1840. Brother Lunt and J. N. Andrews,—author of “History of the Sabbath,”—when the latter was a mere boy, traveled together, distributing literature, and talking the Advent message, from 1840–44. The indignation was so great against them that they were arrested and put in prison for preaching the message.
Brother Lunt was probably almost the only survivor of the sixty in Portland, Me., who, in January, 1845, first heard Sister White relate her vision. He was also one of those present at the time of her third vision, when she held the great eighteen-and-one-quarter-pound Bible open on her extended left arm for over half an hour, turning from place to place with her finger, pointing to texts of Scripture that she repeated, with her eyes looking upward and away from the book.
In the year 1846 Brother Lunt accepted the Sabbath truth, from the teachings of Elder Joseph Bates, about the same time that Elder James White and Sister E. G. White accepted the message from the same teacher. In the spring of 1864, when the writer organized the Seventh-day Adventist church in Portland, Me., Brother Lunt was elected and ordained as elder. He served in that capacity until about the year 1866, when he moved to Battle Creek, Mich. In that church he served as elder until about the year 1886, when he came to Oakland, Cal. Here he rendered efficient service as elder until about one year ago, when, on account of feebleness of health, he was relieved of that responsibility.
His life record has closed, but it has been one of earnest devotion, and unassuming, quiet faithfulness in serving the Master. The last Sabbath of his life was communion day with the Oakland church. The Lord impressed the mind of the pastor of the church—Elder Corliss—at the close of the service, to take the emblems to Brother Lunt. It was a happy communion season in that house. From that time a calm peace settled upon Brother Lunt. The last audible words he was heard to utter were, “Father, help.” The peaceful look upon his countenance, even in death, yet spoke, and reminded the writer of the hymn concerning the dying Christian:—
“How sweet the hour of closing day, When all is peaceful and serene, And the broad sun’s retiring ray Sheds mellow luster o’er the scene.
“Such is the Christian’s parting hour, So peacefully he sinks to rest, When faith, endued from Heaven with power, Sustains and cheers his languid breast.
“Mark but that radiance of his eye, That smile upon his wasted cheek; They tell us of his hope on high In language that no tongue can speak.”
A large concourse of our people was present at the funeral service, which was conducted by Brother Corliss and the writer, in the Oakland church, the afternoon of Sabbath, January 11. On that beautiful sunny afternoon, we laid our brother away to rest in the Mountain View Cemetery, feeling that indeed it will be but a “little while” until Brother Lunt, his three daughters, and other relatives among whom he is sleeping, will hear the call to “AWAKE!” May the good Lord, and we ourselves by our earnest labors, “hasten” the day.

Aurora Butler Lockwood.

By George Ide Butler

It becomes my painful duty to announce, to the old friends in the cause especially, the death, at Bowling Green, Fla., Jan. 17, 1902, of this my very dear sister according to the flesh. She had been home from the general meeting at Nashville, Tenn., only one and a half days when the forces of life were fully spent, and she peacefully closed her eyes in death. She had not been strong since last summer, when she had such a serious illness that it gave us all much anxiety. From this she regained but a small portion of the strength she had before. Still she was able to be about for several months. When it became my duty to attend that meeting, I thought, It will be well for her to go, and meet many old friends, especially Sister White, in whose family Aurora had lived in former years. Indeed, Sister White had written her to come, for she wished to see her. She greatly enjoyed the meeting. Her face beamed with cheerfulness and inward peace, and as I met her from time to time (as I was buried under business matters), and asked of her health and happiness, she said she was very happy, and felt even better than before she came. She continued to feel thus two days after the meeting. In coming home, the swinging motion of the train going rapidly around curves created a nausea, and from that time she suffered much, so that we greatly feared she would never reach home alive. I had to carry her in my arms out of the coach at Jacksonville, as she was too weak to walk. But she seemed soon after to improve a little, and we reached home with her still alive, but a great sufferer. The next day at evening she expired, like the last flickerings of the burned-out candle,—her life forces completely spent. Yesterday we laid her to rest under the oak trees, beside her friend of a lifetime, my dear companion, to await the call of the Life-giver. With her went the last shred of a home on earth for me. I am now at this writing alone in our humble residence, where we have been associated so long. There was something a little peculiar about the passing away of these two friends and sisters. It was almost exactly nine weeks from the very hour when my wife died, till the death process began with my sister. They were carried to the grave, funeral services held over them, and buried at precisely the same hour, just nine weeks apart. Will not they come forth at the same moment?
My sister was born in Waterbury, Vt., Nov. 23, 1827; was old enough to be a strong believer in the great '44 message; began to keep the Sabbath about 1850; was married to Ransom G. Lockwood, my wife's own brother, when about twenty-four years of age. By a terrible accident about three years later, his leg was cut off just below the knee, and he was otherwise lacerated, by a circular wood saw, which flew out of its place. He was an invalid for years, and his wife nursed him, cared for him, and bore in many ways a double burden through life. Moving West, they finally settled in Battle Creek, Mich., where the publishing office had been recently established. She was head of the folding department for a long term of years, with from ten to forty people under her direction, a position requiring much care and some executive ability. She held this position till she became almost too old properly to bear its burdens. They moved to California later, assisting Sister White in caring for her home at Healdsburg in her absence, living also at the Health Retreat at St. Helena. Becoming too old for care-taking, they finally settled on a small place in the country, where her husband died four years ago last summer. I immediately wrote my dear sister an earnest invitation to come and live with me as long as life should last. She came at once, and was a great assistance in helping me to care for my poor companion till her death.
Her hope—the most precious thing in the world to her—was bright and clear to the last. When the last crisis began about 3 P. M., she had great difficulty in breathing; for the disease at last seemed to assume the form of pneumonia. She would barely speak in an audible whisper. She murmured, “My life record has been imperfect, but the blood of Christ—the blood of Christ!” I asked her, “Sister, is your faith and trust in God strong?” She replied, very quickly, “O, yes,” in a way that showed she had no fears of the hereafter. She soon sank into a comatose state, breathing with difficulty till the end came peacefully, without pain. For months before, since her sickness in the summer, she would say quietly, from time to time, “I shall not live long.” Her small sum of means left was all given to the cause she loved. And so she sleeps in glorious hope.
GEO. I. BUTLER.

The Foundation of Protestantism

The Reformation was an appeal from the fallible to the infallible,— an appeal from a fallible priest, a fallible pope, a fallible church council, to the infallible word of God. There would have been no use nor reason in appealing from the fallible to the fallible; for that to which the appeal was made would have been no better as a foundation of faith than was that from which it was made. The whole trouble with the foundation of faith put forward by the papacy was that it was human and fallible. It was just as good a foundation as any other human and fallible foundation, and there was no point in rejecting it unless something infallible were put in its place. And this the Reformers did; they put in the place of the fallible, human authority of pope and council, the infallible authority of divine revelation; and therefore the infallibility of the Bible was a doctrine absolutely essential to Protestantism, and is such to-day. But now, Protestants are rejecting this doctrine. They are declaring that the Bible is fallible, and that we must reject the idea of an infallible Bible “as completely and frankly as we have thrown aside the dogma of an infallible pope.” Not only is this course being advocated, but the thing is being done. But in doing it, so-called Protestants are setting aside the very foundation of Protestantism, and Protestantism itself, as represented in the popular Protestant churches, is being thrown to the ground. This means much for the advancement of the papacy, and of this Rome is fully aware.

The Tabernacle Pulpit.

By A. J. B.

ELDER W. H. THURSTON, president of the Canadian Union Conference, spoke in the Tabernacle, Sabbath, January 25, taking for his text: “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” Heb. 10:35–37. He was assisted by Brethren H. M. Mitchell and E. R. Palmer.
The speaker called the attention of his audience to our sister continent, South America, with its forty million people. The message was first carried to that country eight years ago. Brother Thurston spent seven years in Brazil. There have been eight outbreaks of mobs against our work there. One year ago there were in Brazil sixteen organized churches and ten companies. Our workers there have many difficulties to encounter; the ignorance and superstition of the priest-ridden people, slow means of travel, many rivers to cross, frequent persecutions, etc. Several thrilling experiences were related, all of which God used to advance His cause. Our churches in Brazil are all working churches. Instead of asking for our ministers to stay with them and preach to them, they urge them to go out into new fields, and even send some of their own members to other parts to preach the message.
The only two countries which the truth has not yet entered are Portugal and Spain. Workers are needed for those fields—workers who will go there expecting to stay until the Lord comes. It is no pleasure trip to go to a foreign field. Our pioneers are dying or getting old, and many young men and women are needed for foreign work. The angels are holding the four winds of strife; the nations are ready. Let us do our part to hasten Christ’s appearing. But it should be remembered that those who are not active in home missionary work would not be active nor helpful if sent to a foreign field. The one who finds no missionary work at home, yet thinks he or she would make a good missionary if sent to Africa or some other foreign land, is sadly mistaken. A. J. B.

Daniells’s Southern Union Conference Report

THE remainder of Elder A. G. Daniells’s report of the proceedings of the Southern Union Conference at Nashville, Tenn., arrived too late for insertion in this issue. It will appear next week.

Night School for Review Office Employees

THE Review Office managers have started a night school for the employees of this institution. Classes will be conducted in Bible, bookkeeping, English grammar, music, and other common branches. A number of competent instructors have been engaged to carry forward the work.

The Call for Consecrated Workers

MORE Seventh-day Adventist missionaries have been sent out to foreign fields since the late General Conference than during any other period of equal length in the history of the denomination. But the call for consecrated workers is more urgent than ever before.

Visit the Life Boat Mission

Those of our brethren who are passing through Chicago should not fail to spend an evening at the Life Boat Mission, 436 State St. This mission is crowded to the doors every night of the year. No one can attend even one meeting without having more faith in what God can do for sinful men.

Work at Cooranbong Health Retreat

A LETTER received from Dr. Lauretta Kress states that the work is onward at our Cooranbong (N. S. W., Australia) Health Retreat. Until Sister Kress went there, there had been no physician within twenty miles of the place. She says, “We are clearing expenses and paying off some debts.” May the Lord abundantly bless the good work being carried on there.

Obituary Notices

By Editor

OUR Obituary department this week adds quite a number to the list of prominent members who have lately fallen from our ranks. In the Review of December 3 appeared the obituary of Sister Butler, wife of Elder Geo. I. Butler. This week Elder Butler records the death of his sister, Aurora B. Lockwood, who had gone to Florida to assist in caring for his afflicted companion. The death of N. N. Lunt is also noted, an old pioneer in the cause, and that of Elder J. F. Hansen, a prominent laborer in the Danish-Norwegian branch of the work. But these persons have all gone down in bright hope. The language of Elder Butler expresses the comfort and consolation the surviving friends of these precious souls have to sustain them, in view of the rewards of the future, which are near and hastening greatly, and are sure in that day to all those who “love His appearing.” “Blessed hope!”

REVIEW AND HERALD

Volume VI of the Testimonies

No family of Seventh-day Adventists should be without Volume VI of the “Testimonies for the Church.” It is a most helpful book in every respect and in arrangement of matter is certainly the best of the six volumes thus far issued. The author receives no profits from this book, the entire proceeds of its sales going to our Christiania publishing house.
