JUNE 18, I spoke to the people from the third and fourth chapters of Malachi, reading from the 13th verse of the third chapter to the 3d verse of the fourth chapter. I had freedom in speaking, and all listened with deep interest. And moistened eyes showed that many hearts were touched.
My husband spoke in the afternoon upon the sacredness of the work for the present time, the importance of all who labor in the cause of God taking broader views of the work, and following in his opening providence. He was very free, and his words made a marked impression upon the congregation.
After he closed his remarks I was requested to speak more especially for the benefit of the Danes present. I improved one hour, Bro. Matteson interpreting. I spoke of the missionary work that should be done by those of different languages who embraced the truth, in carrying the message of mercy and of warning to those of their nation. I mentioned the work in other countries, that there were Sabbath-keepers scattered all through Europe, that our publications were finding access to large numbers of the different nations, and that, as the result they were being led to search their Bibles, and there find the truth which is to us so precious.
While relating the wonderful work of God in bringing the light of truth to those of other nations, our American brethren present, as well as those of other tongues, were deeply interested, and I felt my own soul blessed.
In the evening, Bro. Smith spoke to a large congregation with clearness and freedom. All listened with great interest to his discourse.
June 19, at half-past five in the morning, the people assembled under the large tent for prayer and conference meeting. Several prayers were offered and many interesting testimonies borne.
One aged sister, with light and peace expressed in her countenance, spoke of the gratitude she felt in her heart for the privilege of attending the camp-meeting, and that her heart was so deeply affected while sister White was dwelling upon the work of the Lord in the earth that it seemed more than her feeble frame could well endure. She expressed her desire to be among those who were doing the work of God, to whom he would finally say, “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
Another sister said she felt reproved by the Spirit of the Lord, that she had followed him at too great a distance, but would come nearer to God. Another expressed her desire that the truth should have a sanctifying influence upon her affections and will, that she might give a better example to the world.
A young Danish brother expressed his desire for a new conversion to God, adding that he did not want to say more of the truth than he lived out. Another brother said he had just started out to obey the commandments of God, that he could find no other way of getting into Heaven than by willing obedience to all of God’s commandments.
Many of the lonely ones have come, some a long distance, to attend this meeting and are anxious to express their gratitude for the privilege. One sister said she had not had the privilege of meeting with the people of God since the camp-meeting one year ago, that the paper and her Bible were all the preaching she had had.
A Mr. C., who is dwelling upon modern holiness, wanted a discourse given to those hungering after righteousness. My husband spoke on that point, as to what constituted Bible sanctification, stating that those who claimed to be enjoying sanctification while living in opposition to the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, had the spurious article. He quoted the words of the apostle in defining “sin” as the “transgression of the law.” And the words of Paul, “I had not known sin but by the law.” And those of the beloved disciple, “And hereby do we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word in him verily is the love of God perfected; hereby know we that we are in him.” Here is the only genuine Bible sanctification. The sinner is required to exercise repentance toward God for the transgression of his law, and faith in Jesus Christ, the sinner’s advocate.
Another testimony was borne, then my husband made some remarks in reference to the meeting. He stated that he had been thinking ever since he had started out to attend the camp-meetings, if there could not be some way devised, that, as soon as the brethren and sisters came to the meeting, they would become workers, all going to work at the first of the meeting. He stated that this was not the time nor place to consume precious moments in repeating the same testimonies over and over again, that there were men and women who felt burdened, from whom we wished to hear, those who felt the burden for souls out of Christ.
He stated that a yearly gathering cost much time and expense, farmers had come at great sacrifice, some had brought their unconverted children, hoping that their hearts would be touched, that there was great need of individual effort in the family tents, that too much precious time should not be spent in singing hymns that were not appropriate for the occasion, and that did not really give expression to the feelings. He exhorted all to settle into the work. He stated that he would not bind the feelings of any soul, would not mould their testimonies, but wanted the golden moments spent to the very best account, that all upon this important occasion should feel the necessity of watchfulness and prayer.
He further remarked in regard to that valueless, bogus sanctification which leaves the Father and his law out of the question. He stated that when our hearts kindle up as we read the claims of the law of God in his word, when we can pray with the psalmist, “Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law,” we are in a position to claim the merits of the blood of a crucified and risen Saviour, and may fully rely upon the prayer of Christ to his Father for the sanctification which comes through the belief of the truth.
At nine A. M., we again assembled in the large tent for prayer and conference meeting. The tent was well filled. The meeting commenced by singing the hymn:—
“Just as I am—without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidst me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.”
My husband followed with remarks appropriate to the hymn. He stated that all may come just as they are, without one plea, cleaving in faith to Jesus, believing that he is not only able to, but does, forgive sin and save to the uttermost all who come unto him. And that those who exalt Christ must have a high estimate of the law of God.
Many excellent testimonies were borne with expressions of earnest desires to settle into the work, to live out the truth, and be sanctified by it.
Sabbath forenoon my husband gave a discourse, and Bro. Matteson spoke in the afternoon. At four o’clock, P. M., we assembled for prayer and conference meeting. I felt deeply for those who were backslidden from God, and for those poor souls out of Christ. And from the fullness of my heart I spoke to those present. We then invited all to come forward who had backslidden, and those who wished to accept of Christ who had never made a profession of religion. There was a general move, over one hundred came forward, several for the first time. Opportunity was given for those who desired, to express their feelings. Many spoke with deep feeling. The convincing Spirit of the Lord was in our midst. Confessions were made with a spirit of contrition. We then sung:—
“Just as I am—without one plea,”
I improved a few moments in speaking to those who had come forward. Another verse was then sung:—
“Just as I am—and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.”
A sister arose and with deep feeling said, just as I am, O Lord, I come, I come. A boy arose, wept, but could not speak his feelings. This was a testimony, even more powerful than words.
The meeting continued with intense interest for nearly three hours. Our ministering brethren then united in praying for those who had separated themselves from the congregation by coming forward to seek the Lord.
In the evening Bro. Smith spoke to a large and attentive audience. His subject was the United States in Prophecy.
Sunday morning we again met under the tent for prayer and conference meeting. At the commencement of the meeting several prayers were offered, and were followed by interesting testimonies.
In the forenoon my husband presented the reasons of our faith. In the afternoon I spoke upon the subject of God in nature, and the duties of mothers to their children. In the evening Bro. Smith spoke upon the mark of the beast. I regret that all our brethren did not have the benefit of Bro. Smith’s discourses on doctrinal subjects. It is important that they become well acquainted with the reasons of our faith. Those who are detained from these meetings miss a great privilege. And those who come to our camp-meetings, and are engaged in business sessions while discourses are being given at the stand, lose opportunities which would be of the greatest benefit to them.
Tuesday morning we were awakened early by some taking down their tents and preparing to leave the ground. At quarter past six we assembled at the stand. My husband and myself each spoke about fifteen minutes. Bro. Decker was then ordained. The Spirit of the Lord rested upon us. It was a very solemn season, tears mingled with gladness of heart. And with this meeting, marked with the special blessing of God, closed our good camp-meeting.

Health Department.
By James Edson White
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 2.
Tobacco as a Medicine.
WE hold that tobacco is essentially bad, an unmitigated curse, as well to the health as to the pocket, of every consumer. Not only this, but it is almost impossible to conceive of a worse nuisance in society. In the crowded street, in the railroad car, on the steamboat, in the lecture hall, in the church, and in the parlor, the tobacco-user makes himself an object of disgust to every one who does not defile himself by the use of the filthy weed.
But we might be inclined to put up with the inconvenience if there were no worse results. But when we realize that the life energy is being sapped by every cigar and by every “chew” taken, we see reason for protest which should recommend itself to every candid person.
But right here we meet with a difficulty which has always been the most obstinate enemy to the tobacco reform. It is the statement that the use of tobacco was recommended by the physician. This is always given with an air of triumph, and is expected to put a quietus upon further argument on the subject. You ask them what their experience is in regard to the benefits which they have derived from its use, and they will reply that it has “cured them.”
The maladies for which tobacco is used are various: for dyspepsia, heart burn, water-brash, &c., &c. In fact, we have heard it stated by a physician of note that tobacco has seventeen medicinal properties, any one of which is supposed to be sufficient indication for its use, which, of course, means its adoption as a permanent habit, for we seldom hear of a discontinuance of the habit when the “cure” is effected, and we find upon questioning that the “cure” is only effectual so long as the remedy is used, which fact leads us to look with suspicion upon the whole affair.
Tobacco is a powerful narcotic. So long as it is used it may deaden the sensibility to inconvenient symptoms. For instance, tobacco is frequently used for toothache. Toothache is often caused by the nerves of the teeth being exposed to the action of outside agencies. Tobacco being a powerful narcotic, and the nerves being exposed almost to its direct influence, are deadened in sensibility, and the toothache is relieved. Time after time the experiment is tried, and each time with the same result. Experience, therefore, proves that tobacco cures toothache; hence it is an excellent article for all to use who are troubled with toothache. This is a fair sample of what is denominated experience at the present day.
But let us examine a little closer. In order that the integrity of the whole body may be preserved, it is necessary that the mind be made aware of anything that is injuring the system in any part. This is one of the important offices which the nerves perform. Reason will not answer. It must be something which will compel the remedying of the evil as quickly as possible. This sensibility to injury we call pain. Unconsciously the child places his hand in the fire. If it were not for the pain he immediately feels he would allow it to remain there until it became a useless crisp. Thus the pain that is felt is what preserves the hand from destruction. If by any means the pain could be avoided, any amount of injury might be done without our knowledge. Hence we see that pain is absolutely a friend, and not an enemy.
The application of this to toothache can readily be understood. The pain felt is the notification from the tooth to the brain that there are agencies at work, which, sooner or later, destroy the tooth, unless preventive measures are adopted. If some agency is employed which will deaden the sensibility without removing the cause, no radical cure is effected, and the danger is that the tooth will be neglected until it is too late to save it.
From its effects upon toothache we can reason in regard to other maladies for which tobacco is considered a specific. By wrong habits in life some parts of the system are being injured. The rational course is to look for the cause of the difficulty and put it away, when the results will disappear. The inconvenience or pain which is felt is the demand on the part of Nature for the remedying of some evil which is injuring the integrity of the system. The use of tobacco may, in some instances, still this voice, but it cannot hinder the results.
It takes time and self-denial at first to look into the cause of the difficulty, and then live in strict conformity to Nature’s laws; and so the usual inquiry is: “How can I stave off the penalty and still continue in my old habits?” The fallacy of this is seldom discovered until Nature takes the case in hand. Nature may tolerate abuse for a long time, but the retribution is none the less sure for being tardy. J. E. White.

—Dean Stanley, in course of his sermon at West Mister Abbey on Sunday, alluded to the American Declaration of Independence. He contrasted the animosity displayed on former days on the occasion of its anniversary with the spirit of conciliation which at present prevails. Now every American is proud of his English ancestry, and every Englishman is proud of Washington.
—A serious revolt and insurrection among the Dalmatians, of Herzegauina, has been caused by the Turkish officers endeavoring to collect arrearage in taxes. The populace have attacked the Turkish authorities in the frontier towns, and in many places the Austrian flag has been raised. The Pauslavic emmisaries spread reports that the Turks intended to exterminate the Christians, and this falsehood aroused them to the insurrection which is taking great dimensions.
—A serious riot occurred in Lawrence, Mass., on the evening of July 12, between Orangemen and some people, while the Orangemen were landing from a boat after their return from a picnic. The Orangemen were driven to a stationhouse for protection. The Mayor addressed the crowd but his voice was drowned amid groans and hisses. He then called out and headed the police in escorting the Orangemen. The crowd threw stones and bottles striking nearly every one in the procession. The Orangemen fired their pistols into the crowd. Many were hit, but none killed. Great excitement prevails.
—Robert Dale Owen furnishes another sad illustration of the terrible evil results of Spiritualism. For twenty years he has been known as one of the ablest, most candid, and most influential defenders of spiritualism. His essays and books on this subject have had a very wide circulation, a fact due quite as much to the confidence reposed in the author's character as to their intrinsic merits. He fell a ready dupe to the Katie King imposture at Philadelphia nearly a year ago, and his article in support of the genuineness of the "phenomena," published in the Atlantic Monthly, attracted much attention. The complete and crushing exposure which followed within a few days after the appearance of the article in print, proved a terrible blow to the old man, and finally his reason has succumbed to the shock. This is, perhaps, the saddest of all the numerous instances of mental derangement superinduced by dabbling in spiritualism.

Camp-Meeting.
By John Norton Loughborough
THERE has been a little delay in deciding upon a suitable camp-ground for this year, still we are deciding it as early as it was decided last year, and should we take the ground that now seems the most advantageous there is much less to do on the ground than last year.
We have been trying to secure a ground that should be central, easy of access from San Francisco and Oakland, and still handy for all our people. We have such a ground in view, which presents facilities far in advance of anything we have had yet for a camp-ground in Cal. Seemingly this ground is made ready to our hand.
While some may have farther to go to camp-meeting than they have for the last two years, they will have no farther to go than others had to come, and did come to them, and those from distant points can reach the contemplated ground as easily as any they have gone to before.
It is said the object of just legislation is to do the greatest amount of good to the greatest number. We are trying to carry out that principle in locating the camp-ground, both with reference to our people and for those we would seek to benefit. Our plans are not all completed, so we will not name the place in this number, but we expect to tell you next week, with many interesting particulars. We say this much this week, because there is so much anxious inquiry about the camp-meeting, and we do not wish you to get the idea that we are unconcerned and indifferent in this matter. We judge from your anxiety that you all design to come to the yearly feast.
Don't begin to look for excuses to keep you away from camp-meeting, but decide like sensible persons that you need the benefits of the meeting, that you must go to the camp-meeting, and make everything bend in that direction and we shall expect to see you all there.

Cal. Tent Fund.
By John Norton Loughborough
PLEDGES were made to the tent fund at our last camp-meeting, amounting to over $1600. The sums pledged were all to be paid by Oct. 1, 1875. About one-half this sum has already been paid. But it will be remembered that out of the means raised there was $700 to be used in paying money borrowed to purchase the new tent; $184, for the splicing to the two tents; and $45.00, for three camping tents, remaining on hand at the close of the camp-meeting. Some $60.00 received for old camp materials, was also put into the tent fund. All that has been paid in has been applied on the old debt. Fifty dollars more are requisite before we can say that the old debt is cancelled.
We are beginning to make arrangements, and shall soon commence purchases, for the camp-meeting. In order to be rightly prepared for the meeting, quite a portion of the tent funds should be paid in immediately. We shall soon send out lists of unpaid pledges to the business agent in each of the churches that they may collect from those who are ready to pay their pledges. We give this notice that all, as far as practicable, may be ready to meet these collectors of funds.

North Pacific Mission.
By James White
The success which has attended the North Pacific Mission is a cause of devout gratitude to God, the Author of all good. And we have not lost the least degree of interest which we have ever felt in our very dear brother and sister Van Horn, who have so faithfully labored in that destitute missionary field. May the Lord crown their future labors of love with still greater success in time to come.
During the present year we have repeatedly requested Bro. Van Horn by letter to state the financial condition of the mission, and if he had wants to report them and they should be met. As our letters, probably, have not reached him, we take this public manner of stating that particulars will meet prompt attention at the next session of the General Conference, or at a later date. James White.
European Mission.
By James White
OUR American brethren feel the deepest interest in the work in Europe reported by Eld. Andrews. They offer many earnest prayers to God for our dear brother, that he may be guided in wisdom, and that great success may attend his efforts. And while they give him their prayers and their full sympathy, they inquire, What more can we do? If Eld. Andrews needs means to carry on the work, he has only to state what the cause in Europe really needs, and the General Conference will promptly forward it to him. JAMES WHITE.

Christian Union.
By James White
No ONE who has any just idea of the importance of the great Scriptural doctrine of the second advent can fail to be interested in the article in this number of the SIGNS on "Christian Union." Appearing, as it does, in the Crisis, it may well be regarded as "a home thrust." We have often known individuals, when under conviction of some duty which contained a cross, to evade the cross and quiet their consciences under a show of extreme piety, and make the abundance of their profession atone for their lack of obedience. This trait is now manifested among all the churches who cover up their worldliness and destitution of the power of godliness with a cloak of sanctification or sentimental holiness. And those Adventists who have shut their eyes from, and their hearts against, present truth which calls for obedience to the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, are now making a great merit of "union," even with those who despise the "blessed hope" of the appearing of "this same Jesus." The under editor of the Crisis leads off in this fanaticism, and it is refreshing to find such a rebuke to that spirit in that paper. We recommend the article of Eld. Lombard to the careful consideration of every reader.

"Close Communion."
By James White
The Christian Union has the following item:
"Noticing our remark that the 'Free Baptists stand upon the platform that the question of immersion is one of the 'non-essentials,' and that, therefore, they can invite to the Lord's table all true believers,' the Morning Star, while admitting that we were right so far as the qualifications for communion are concerned, makes this important qualification: but when it comes to church membership in the Free Baptist denomination, the case is altered. Then baptism becomes an essential. From its earliest history the denomination has regarded it as prerequisite to membership in its churches. It still so regards it. It follows, of course, that the Free Baptists exclude from their churches persons whose piety they would not question: Would it not be better to be just a little more 'free,' and not make the form of baptism a test at all?"
The expression used by the Union, "not make the form of baptism a test," is a mere blind, and opens before us the truth that the clamor against "close communion" is more of prejudice than of reason. The question is not whether the form of baptism is a test, but is baptism a qualification for church membership? With Baptists, and some others, "the form of baptism" is no question at all, and when that is disposed of there is no difference in the cause of action between them and those who cry out against their order of communion. The Presbyterians and Congregationalists consider baptism in some form a requisite to church membership, and so of course a requisite to communion, for they do not invite to communion those who are not church members. Where is the difference, then, between them and the Baptists? Each invites to the table such as they consider have been baptized, and no others. If there is any unreasonable restriction of communion it is on the part of those who practice infant baptism, for they baptize thousands with whom they will not commune. This course we think is questionable. Many have found fault with the course of Seventh-day Adventists on this subject, but we think it is only because they do not well understand it. J. H. W.
