BROTHER E. B. HOPKINS reports the baptism of four persons at Avinger, Tex.
THREE have been baptized and joined the church at Flagstaff, Ariz., as reported by Brother J. Earnest Bond.
AS the result of meetings held near Kirwin, Kan., by Brother N. T. Sutton, five persons—heads of families—took their stand for the Sabbath.
BRETHREN Merrill and Miller recently organized a church of thirteen members at Versailles, Mo., as a result of meetings held by them in that vicinity the past few months.
BROTHER B. F. STUREMAN, located at Flint, Mich., reports that five have accepted the truth as the result of work done with The Family Bible Teacher the past few months. The church is encouraged, and the attendance at Sabbath services is increasing.
IN response to a call from interested persons at Bache, Okla., Brother W. F. Talburt recently held a few meetings, as a result of which three persons began to keep the Sabbath. Among them is an influential merchant whose store, closed on Saturday, will aid in preaching the Sabbath truth.
IN Ottawa, Canada, Brother O. F. Butcher has been successful in getting recommendations from several pastors for the book “Steps to Christ.” With these he has been able to sell quite a number of books. The favorable acquaintance thus formed, has opened the way for The Family Bible Teacher. From this work he is beginning to see results.
A YOUNG people’s convention for a few of the churches of northern Indiana was held at Wolf Lake, May 10-12. Several papers and discussions on subjects of importance to our young people, were included in the program. Mrs. R. W. McMahan, State educational secretary, was present and acted as chairman. The meetings were well attended, and resulted in spiritual blessings to both old and young.
BROTHER C. W. MILLER, who, with his brother, is working for the Germans in Texas, reports five new Sabbath-keepers at New Ulm, three of whom have been baptized, and the baptism of four persons at Valley View. They now have their tent pitched at Bellville, a German town of 2,000. Continued rain is interfering with the meetings, but the time is being improved in visiting with the people and scattering literature.20
REPORTING from southern California, the president, Brother G. W. Reaser, says that on Sabbath, May 18, he baptized three persons at Fernando; three were baptized by Brother C. E. Ford at Los Angeles; and Brother J. F. Ballenger baptized twenty at Long Beach.
AT Albuquerque, N. M., Brother J. A. Leland has a good interest among the Mexicans who are attending the meetings being conducted in their own language. Some have taken a firm stand for the truth, and some are in the valley of decision. A large majority of these Mexicans are Catholics, and in great darkness, so the work seems to move slowly, but Brother Leland is hopeful of a company of faithful believers.
BROTHER RALPH W. MILLER, giving a report of the work done in Pasadena, Cal., says that the membership of the church has about doubled the past two years. The church-members are doing a commendable work with Liberty and the Signs of the Times, and one man who accepted the truth two years ago has labored for souls while supporting himself by night work at his trade. The result is that ten or twelve persons have been won to the message.
THE outlook in Denver, Colo., is encouraging. Brother G. W. Anglebarger reports the baptism of eight persons, May 11, and six on June 2, with a number more soon to follow in this solemn ordinance. Meetings are held on Sabbaths and on Sunday evenings, with increasing attendance. Some of the converts are from these meetings alone, while others are the result of Bible work in the homes of the people. The tent is about to be pitched for the summer’s work.
BROTHER JOHN G. WALKER, president of the North Dakota Conference, gives some items relative to the growth of the work since that conference was organized in 1902: “At the end of the first year after organization, there were 638 Sabbath-keepers in North Dakota. At the present time there are 887, an increase of thirty-nine per cent. Last year the increase was 134. A little more than one half of the 887 are Germans, and the remainder English and Scandinavians. The tithe in 1903 was $7,040.50. In 1906 it had increased to $13,437.30, a gain of eighty-seven per cent. At the time of our 1905 conference we had a surplus of about $6,000 in the tithe fund, and gave then and shortly afterward $1,500 of that to the General Conference for foreign missions. At our last conference in December, 1906, it was found that we had about the same amount of surplus. We gave then $2,000 to the General Conference. Last year we had eight canvassers in the field, and books were sold (wholesale value) to the amount of $2,828.25, a gain of $1,535.87 over that of 1905. Though only one attends our academy, two students earned their scholarships to attend this year. There is no better field than North Dakota for the consecrated canvasser, and there was never a better time to finish this work than now. The harvest is ripening fast. The enrolment at the academy last year was thirty-eight. This year it is fifty-six, and the actual attendance is forty-six. The largest percentage this year is English. When our German brethren see the importance of educating their children for the Master’s work, our school will be much larger.”
WE take from the Southwestern Union Record Brother W. M. Cubley’s report of his experiences at Corpus Christi, Tex.: “At first our congregations were very small,—only fourteen the first meeting,—but we continued the meetings with a slow but steady increase in attendance and interest until the house was full almost every night. Satan tried many a scheme to hinder the work, but his efforts were almost fruitless. He used a certain minister as his chief agent to hinder our work and destroy our influence. This man first made himself known to me at the close of one of our meetings by rising up in the congregation, and challenging me to a public debate. When he sat down, I asked him what he wanted to debate, and he said he wanted to show up the other side of the Sabbath question. I then told him that if he knew of a text that enjoined the observance of the first day of the week, to just stand and read it, and that would settle the whole difference, and I would confess my mistake and take his side of the issue. This caused the people to laugh him to scorn. But this did not satisfy him; he kept renewing his challenges until I finally left it to my congregation as to whether I should engage with him in debate. They all voted against it. Praise the Lord. At the end of the sixth week we closed our meetings at this schoolhouse with ten new Sabbath-keepers, and a number of others very deeply interested. We moved five miles south, and started a meeting in an old warehouse, and have continued interesting services here for two weeks. During this time we have kept in touch with our other work, visiting and selling books, and preaching Friday nights and Sabbaths for them. Four others have made a start to keep the Sabbath since we left there, thus making, in all, fourteen new ones. We have organized them into an interesting Sabbath-school of twenty-five members, with Judge Connell as superintendent. My wife is filling the homes of the people with books filled with the precious truth. We expect to organize a church here within the next two weeks.”
Current Mention
— During the first five months of this year 189 persons committed suicide in the city of Chicago alone.
— Five deaths and several prostrations from heat were reported in New York City, the seventeenth. The change was very sudden, as snow fell there the second.
— Tornadoes, accompanied by cloudburst, devastated regions of southern Illinois, Indiana, and central Kentucky June 7, 8. Twenty-nine persons were killed, and forty injured.
— On June 22 three aeronauts, two French officers, and one Austrian officer, were killed by falling from a balloon near Debreczin, Hungary. Peasants, in trying to capture the balloon, approached it with a light, and the balloon exploded, killing ten of them.
— East Liverpool, Ohio, a city of 24,000, on June 22 voted for local option, by which fifty-three saloons will be put out of business.
— The entire Black Sea squadron is temporarily out of commission, owing to the disaffection of the crews, 700 of whom have been arrested. The position is declared to be very critical.
— The long-expected suit of the government against the railways and subsidiary mining companies, which form what is commonly known as the anthracite coal trust, has been begun by the circuit court at Philadelphia.
— Emperor Nicholas of Russia has approved a recommendation of the council of ministers in favor of granting a concession for the construction of a railroad from the station of Kamsk, in Siberia, to Behring Straits, and a tunnel under the straits.
— Dr. Lenane, health officer of Battersea, says that Londoners annually pay $150,000 for water in milk. He adds that notwithstanding prosecution, adulterations continue to be a profitable business. The same offenders are repeatedly fined. They cheerfully pay and promptly resume their fraudulent business.
— The Norwegian Storthing, after rejecting a proposal for universal woman suffrage, passed a bill enfranchising women over twenty-five years of age, and paying taxes on an income of at least $110, or married to a man paying taxes on such an income. The Norwegian electorate is thereby increased 300,000.
— Not only did the telegraph operators appeal to President Roosevelt to interfere in their grievances, but the Chicago Board of Trade also requested him to take such steps as he deemed necessary to prevent the telegraph operators’ strike. Immediately after some conferences with Commissioner of Labor Nill, in which it was thought the differences were settled, President Small of the telegraphers’ union called for a strike of the 250 operators in San Francisco and Oakland, which took effect on the twenty-first. It is now the declared purpose not to call for a general strike, but local strikes until the union is officially recognized.
— On June 16 by imperial ukase the czar of Russia dissolved the Douma. The immediate cause of dissolution was the refusal by the Douma of the czar’s demand made through Premier Stolypin that the Douma consent to the arrest and trial of fifty-five of their number on a charge of treason. The manifesto accompanying the order of dissolution provides for the election of a succeeding Douma to assemble in November of this year. In the forthcoming election the basis of representation is to be changed by limiting the number of voters according to their wealth, and reducing the number chosen from the disaffected districts. The peasants lose their separate representation in each of the provinces. This act overrides the specific provisions of the fundamental laws of the realm, solemnly proclaimed by his majesty on the eve of the convocation of the first Douma, which declare that the electoral law could never be changed without the consent of Parliament itself.21
— Sir Chentung Liang-Cheng, the retiring Chinese minister to the United States, has made public the contents of an official note he received, in which President Roosevelt announces that in his next message to Congress he will recommend that China be relieved of all indemnity in excess of the actual expenses and damages resulting to Americans from the Boxer uprising.
— At the opening session of The Hague conference M. Nelidoff was chosen president; and in his opening speech discouraged the hope of universal peace. He said, “Nations, like individuals, are human, and not the most perfect judicial system ever invented could put an end to strife and violence. When honor and vital interests are at stake, regardless of consequences, neither the former nor the latter will recognize any authority except personal judgment and personal feelings.”
— Although the censorship of the press is strict, reports come by way of Madrid, Spain, that there is a widespread spirit of revolt in Portugal. Since the dismissal of Parliament the first of May, Premier Franco has governed by decree, which has aroused popular hatred. A recent journey of the premier from Lisbon to Oporto in hope of gaining popular indorsement for his policy, aroused instead great indignation, and he was hissed at every station. When the dictator returned to Lisbon, there was a serious riot outside the station. Women, with their aprons filled with stones, furnished weapons to the men, who fought for hours against the soldiers who fired upon them in return. Many casualties are reported.
— More than half a million vine-growing peasants of southern France are in practical revolt against the government. Having for generations followed this one occupation, which seems to have become unprofitable, they are unwilling to turn to other occupations. For some months one Marcelin Albert has been agitating the subject, and has convinced the peasants that the cheapness of wine is due to adulteration. They have demanded that the government give them redress, and have refused to pay taxes. Mayors of scores of towns have resigned, after discharging their subordinate officers. Being responsible to the central government, the premier has forbidden these resignations until they are accepted at Paris. A law has been passed forbidding adulteration of wine, and an investigation ordered; but the people are making monster demonstrations, and when the government decided to arrest the ringleaders in the agitation, the peasants showed resistance, placing dynamite on the railroad, cutting wires, tearing up tracks, and raising barricades for resistance. At Narbonne, on June 20, conflicts occurred between the rioters and the troops. One hundred soldiers were wounded. How many of the rioters were killed or injured is not known, as those who fell when the troops fired were carried away by friends. At Agde a battalion of troops mutinied and joined the rioters, but later returned, and are now under arrest. The premier offered to resign, but a vote of confidence was given him, and he will retain the office. The Chamber of Deputies has passed the law demanded by the wine growers, and it is hoped that this will quiet the disturbances.
“Outlines of Government”
The West Michigan Herald, published an article by Prof. Clifford Russell, from which we quote: “The United States is a federal republic consisting of forty-six States. The government is divided into three independent departments; namely, legislative, or law-making; executive, or law-enforcing; and judicial, or law-interpreting.
“The legislative department is vested in Congress, which meets regularly at Washington on the first Monday in December. The last session of Congress was the fifty-ninth.
“The executive department is vested in the president.
“The judicial department is vested in the various courts.
“The United States Senate consists of ninety-two members, two from each State. They are chosen for six years by the State legislature. Qualifications: thirty years of age; citizen of the United States nine years; an inhabitant of the State from which chosen. Vacancies are filled by the legislature, if in session, if not, by the governor until the next session of legislature. The Senate concurs with the House of Representatives in making laws; confirms or rejects treaties and appointments made by the president.
“The United States House of Representatives consists of three hundred and fifty-six members — the number from each State being proportionate to the population, which is ascertained by a census taken every ten years. Representatives are chosen by the people for two years, at the fall election which occurs on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of every second year. Qualifications: twenty-five years of age; resident of the United States seven years; an inhabitant of the State from which chosen. Vacancies filled by the governor’s issuing a writ of election for that district, and the people’s choosing a representative to fill the unexpired term. The House of Representatives concurs with the Senate in making laws.
“Executive department: The president of the United States is chosen by electors, who are elected by the people at the fall election. Term, four years. Qualifications: thirty-six years of age; fourteen years a resident of the United States; a native-born citizen. The number of electoral votes from a State is equal to the number of senators and representatives. Duties: to execute the laws; to act as commander-in-chief of the army and navy; to sign or veto bills; to call extra sessions of Congress; to grant reprieves, commutations, and pardons; to recommend measures to Congress; to make treaties and appointments with the advice and consent of the Senate. Cabinet officers, March 4, 1907: Secretary of State, Root; Secretary of the Treasury, Courtelyou; Secretary of War, Taft; Secretary of the Navy, Metcalf; Postmaster-General, Meyer; Secretary of the Interior, Garfield; Attorney-General, Bonaparte; Secretary of Agriculture, Wilson; Secretary of Commerce and Labor, Strauss.
“Judicial department: The Supreme Court of the United States consists of a chief justice and eight associate justices, appointed by the president, approved by the Senate. The chief justice is Melville W. Fuller. They hold office during life, or good behavior. There are nine circuit courts.”
Religious Liberty Notes
By W. A. C.
A BROTHER writes from Brooklyn: “The Christian Endeavor number of Liberty is a grand idea, and I shall be glad to do my best to help it.”
Writing under date of May 20, Elder F. M. Wilcox says: “I have read with interest some of the tracts which have recently been gotten out by the Religious Liberty Department, and am glad that you are getting out an excellent line of literature in these ways.”
Referring to the last number of Liberty, Señor E. F. Forga, who for some years past has been carrying on a religious liberty campaign in Peru, and who recently embraced the truth in England, says, “No. 2, Vol. 2, of Liberty is very interesting,” and he sends us a four years’ subscription to the magazine as a token of his appreciation of it. He is now in California, correcting Spanish translations of our literature, and studying to become better acquainted with present truth.
The city council of Thomasville, Ga., has been enacting some laws, new and blue, for the residents of that city; and the citizens are reported to be busily discussing the unusual restrictions to which they must in future submit. The new ordinance was introduced by Alderman C. P. Hansell, who is also judge of the city court and elder in the Presbyterian church. This ordinance provides that no place of business shall keep open on Sunday except drug-stores for the sale of medicine. One of its unusual provisions is that no firm shall deliver ice “on the Sabbath day.”
The annual convention of the Christian Endeavor Society is to be held at Seattle, Wash., July 10-15. It is estimated that about twenty thousand people will be in attendance at the meetings of this session. From the published program of the convention we see that the question of “Christian Citizenship” is to be discussed on the second day of the convention. July 12, at 8:30 P. M., the vice-president of the United States, Mr. Fairbanks, is to speak on “Our Country.” One of the leading topics to be discussed July 13 is, “The Laboring Man and the Church: How to Bring Them Together.” Rev. Hugh G. Walker, D. D., pastor of the Immanuel Presbyterian church of Los Angeles, Cal., speaks on the same day on the subject of “The Enforcement of Law;” and Hon. George Nicholls, a member of the English Parliament, is to speak on “A Nation’s Greatest Need.” Rev. H. G. McMillan, D. D., pastor of the Second United Presbyterian church of Allegheny, Pa., a prominent National Reformer, is advertised to speak Sunday evening, July 14, on “The Sabbath for Man.” All these subjects will doubtless bear more or less directly upon the question of religious legislation and Sunday enforcement.

North Dakota, Notice!
By John G. Walker
THOSE living in the northeastern part of the State will be pleased to learn that a camp-meeting is appointed to be held at Devil's Lake, July 9-15. This is during the Chautauqua season, when a large number of people are attracted to that place, both for the entertainment the Chautauqua affords and also for the pleasure of camping in the beautiful groves bordering the lake.
We hope to have the camp located where the people of Devil's Lake, and also visitors, will find it convenient to attend the meetings. Services will be held in the English and Scandinavian languages, and efficient laborers in them all will be present.
We sincerely hope that all our brethren and sisters living in the northeastern part of the State will attend this meeting. A dining tent will be on the ground, and meals will be provided at a reasonable charge. In regard to reduced railroad rates, we can not announce them at this time; but if the Chautauqua is granted special rates, we also will receive them. So, those coming should take certificates of purchase from the agent, and if rates are granted, the certificates will be signed by the secretary of the Chautauqua. Come and bring your family with you, and invite your friends.
JOHN G. WALKER, President.

The Wisconsin Annual Conference
By C. McReynolds
THE Wisconsin Conference will meet in its annual session at Grand Rapids, Wis., August 21, in connection with the camp-meeting. The first meeting of the session will be held at 5 P. M., Wednesday, the twenty-first, to organize. The second meeting will be held at 9:15 A. M., Thursday, the twenty-second, when the committees will be announced. Subsequent business meetings of the conference will be devoted to the hearing of reports of the various branches of the work, and to the consideration of plans, etc., until Monday, the twenty-sixth, when the election of officers of the conference, tract society, conference association, sanitarium, and the schools will be taken up. We defer the elections until that time in order that our brethren who can not be present the first part of the meeting may be with us, and have a voice in choosing the men who shall fill the various offices in these organizations. They do not belong to the workers, but to the whole people, and all are interested in them. We trust that our brethren and sisters will make an effort to be there by that time. Come as early as possible. The regular camp-meeting work will begin August 22.
