Frightful accounts have also been received from the counties of Abauj, Heves, and Zemplin.
CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE.
The following report of the eighth annual session of the California State Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, held on the Healdsburg camp-ground Sept. 18-23, is condensed from the report of the secretary, Geo. Manuel, as given in the Signs of Oct. 9:—
The business of the session occupied five meetings, the first of which was held Sept. 18. Eld. S. N. Haskell was elected chairman. Thirty-eight delegates were present, representing twenty-one churches. The churches at Vacaville and Rocklin were received into the Conference, and those at Arbuckle and Nevada City were taken under its watchcare.
Wm. Saunders, of the committee to defend our position before the Constitutional Convention on Sabbath observance, reported that the committee had caused petitions to be circulated throughout the State, which had received about 2000 signatures; that this petition had been duly presented to one of the delegates to the Convention, but owing to the liberal disposition of that body in placing all religious denominations upon an equal footing, no action was taken upon the petition.
Resolutions were passed, expressing gratitude to the General Conference for sending Eld. S. N. Haskell to assist in the work on the Pacific coast; appropriating one-tenth of the funds of the State Conference to the General Conference; expressing confidence in the Testimonies, and recommending churches to place them within reach of all the members; recommending the dividing of the Conference into districts, and assigning to each laborer his own field; etc.
Eld. S. N. Haskell was elected president of the Conference for the ensuing year; J. D. Rice, secretary; Mrs. Emma L. White, treasurer; S. N. Haskell, John Morrison, and M. C. Israel, executive committee.

HEALTH AND TEMPERANCE CONVENTION
By Wm. Beebe
THE Clyde District Health and Temperance Association met at Clarksfield, Huron Co., O., Oct. 11, at 7:30 P. M. Meeting opened by singing spirited temperance songs by the choir, A. F. Whitright musical director, Gertie French organist. Prayer by Eld. Wm. Beebe.
Eld. H. A. St. John addressed the congregation, speaking one hour and twenty minutes. The best of attention was given. A fifteen minutes' speech by the writer followed, and then came the tug of war. Bro. St. John kept the choir singing, and the battle began in earnest. We first turned our long-range gun No. 1, the teetotal pledge, on the enemy, capturing thirteen; but the range being too long for some, we brought No. 2, the anti-whisky and tobacco pledge into action, bringing down five. No. 3, the anti-whisky pledge, not being in good working order, captured only one. We expect to get them in range again soon, and shall renew the battle.
May the Lord bless the American Health and Temperance Association. Wm. Beebe.

Murcia Flood Devastates Spain and Signs of Physical Disturbance
Full reports from the recent flood in Spain show it to have been more disastrous than any event of the kind on record. Almost the whole Spanish province of Murcia was engulfed. Towns were swept away, and over three thousand people were swallowed up in watery graves. Preceding months had been months of intense heat and drought. Not a cloud had been seen, and the river had become so low that carters drove along its empty bed. At 9 o’clock Sunday evening, Oct. 19, the approach of the “mistral,” a cold, biting wind, from the direction of Cartagena, was felt. The heavens were almost instantly overclouded, and the storm burst upon the people. By midnight the river was overflowing its banks in the city of Murcia, and the watchman, by ringing the alarm bell, aroused the inhabitants just in time for many to escape the sudden ruin, while in that city alone more than one thousand perished. Seven villages are reported as swept entirely away, and the devastation through all the province is complete.
This, with the double flood in Hungary, the memory of which it so vividly revives, the succeeding earthquakes, the disastrously wet season in England, and the drought in France, with cyclones and famines in other places, show uncommon disturbances in the physical world.
TEMPERANCE WORK IN MICHIGAN.
By M. B. Miller
WE are anxious that the temperance work may still go forward in Michigan. Much has been done in this work at our camp-meetings during the past season, but much remains yet to be done. We have more than twelve hundred signers to the pledges. Hundreds more should sign this winter.
As most of those who have signed the pledge did so while attending camp-meeting, but few local clubs have been formed. What we want now is to form clubs all through the State. In so doing we shall reach those who have not had an opportunity to connect themselves with this work. When these clubs are thus organized, we shall have accomplished a great work, and be ready to present a solid front against the cause of intemperance.
In order that the above-named work may be accomplished, we appoint all our ministers and tract directors who have signed the teetotal pledge, to act as agents to form H. and T. clubs. We do not ask you to do this work to the neglect of other important duties, but we do ask you to give it that attention it demands. It is a part of the last great work in which we are engaged.
All who form clubs should send the secretary the name and address of all who sign the pledge, specifying those who pay the initiation fee of twenty-five cents. No part of this money should be retained. It should be sent to the secretary. We have blank books for keeping the records and accounts of clubs. All who will send us the address of the secretary of their club will be furnished this book. Do not fail to do this, as we desire uniformity throughout the State in this work.
Any of those above specified lacking the needed information about forming clubs, can obtain it by addressing the secretary, Miss Jennie Thayer, Battle Creek, Mich.
M. B. MILLER, Pres. Mich. H. and T. A.
BATTLE CREEK.
By James White
WE are happily situated at Battle Creek, again laboring joyfully with the members of this church. We can never lose our interest in the institutions located here, which we have labored to build up and defend.
A large portion of this church feel in a degree the interest in them that we feel. Others are willing to be financially benefited by them, and may excuse themselves on the ground that they have contributed largely to them, while a few who unworthily wear the Advent name, and have done nothing, or the next thing to nothing, to build up these institutions, stand ready to take advantage of the poor, the widow, and the orphan. God pity them.
We therefore want those of our people who may come to Battle Creek, or who intend to live here and enjoy the benefits of our College and Sanitarium, to look well to it what hands they fall into. Remember these things:—
1. Be not in haste to purchase property in Battle Creek. Wait till you have seen men who occupy responsible positions, and take time to see for yourselves.
2. Before you close a bargain, learn whether the parties are members of the church, and if in good standing. The fact that some in their haste are being deceived and are paying too much for property, is our apology for this warning and these statements.
3. Both the College and the Sanitarium have good building lots for sale, lots that are on good streets, on which cottages could be built that would hold their value, and probably increase in value. Some of these lots on good streets, and near the Sanitarium and College, are for sale at low figures.
4. However unpleasant, we are giving these matters attention, and shall not cease our efforts to convince all true minds and hearts that we are a highly favored people in having these institutions planted in our midst by the Divine Hand, and that all the members of the Battle Creek church should be above seeking pecuniary advantages from them.
As ever, battling for the right in the name of the righteous Master, J. W.
Call for Return of Books and Engraving
By W.

Elder Matteson's Cheering Report from Christiania, Norway
By James White
The report from Elder Matteson at Christiana, Norway, gives a very cheering account in this week's REVIEW of the cause at that post. We are very glad that he can print cheaper in Norway than we can in America. We shall be more than glad to let him have all the Danish and Swedish printing now done at this Office. It has been said, “God will help every man who will help himself.” Our missionaries, at home and abroad, may expect help from General Conference, if they will work, economize, and help themselves. J. W.
Labor-Saving Machinery in Philadelphia Clothing Manufacture
It is said that in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., 50,000 persons are employed in the manufacture of clothing, and that 20,000,000 suits are made there every year. Garments are cut by machinery, one machine doing the labor of about eight men. Button-holes are worked by machinery at the rate of one hundred and eighty per hour, while by hand only three could be worked in the same time. This shows the wonderful effect of labor-saving machinery, the productions of this marvelous age.
WHERE!
E. C. Smyth, D. D., of Andover, in his address before the Sunday convention recently held in Boston, is reported to have said:—
“The Apostle [Paul] repeatedly asserts the non-obligation of the Jewish Sabbath.”
Where are these “repeated” assertions? Where is just one of them? It would be an immense relief to many anti-sabbatarians if it could be found. Is it where Paul says that the law is holy, just, and good, and is “established” by faith in Christ? Is it where he repeatedly recognized the Sabbath as an existing institution, and preached upon it by the river-side as well as in the synagogue, and to Gentiles as well as Jews? We imagine, however, that this is a companion to a declaration made by a professor in another theological school, that Christ met with his disciples eight or ten Sundays after his resurrection!!
