European Meetings and War Drafts

Brother L. R. Conradt reports good meetings in Scandinavia and Friedensau. About two thousand believers attended the latter meeting. Elder G. W. Schubert was chosen president of the Central European Union to permit Elder O. E. Reinke to take the Russian Union Mission field, and so release Elder J. T. Boettcher for vice-president of the European Division Conference. About forty of the brethren, among whom are nearly all our workers, in the Roumanian part of their field, are under draft for the war. Let us remember to pray for our brethren in this troubled section of Europe.

Elder W. A. Spicer reached Washington Wednesday night of last week from camp-meetings in the Northwest. He reports excellent meetings in each conference it was his privilege to visit.

Notices and Announcements

By Editor

SEVERAL notices and announcements published in this number are worthy of careful reading. Note the request of Prof. M. E. Olsen, on page 14, for data and material to be used in the preparation of the denominational history which he is writing; the announcement of the mothers' normal department of the Fire-side Correspondence School, by Prof. C. C. Lewis, on page 15; “Teaching Public Speaking by Correspondence,” on page 16. Prospective medical students will be interested to read the statement made by Dr. W. A. Ruble on page 17, regarding advancing requirements for entrance to the medical school. In the Publishing Department Miss E. M. Graham proposes a simple plan which, by general cooperation, would result in the creation of a fund of more than three thousand dollars to provide our brethren in India, China, Japan, and Korea with literature for free distribution. Those uniting in this plan will secure an experience in personal missionary work, the beginning of the broader experience needed in the life of every Seventh-day Adventist.

SINCE leaving this country Elder A. G. Daniells has found much to engage his attention and enlist his most earnest efforts in connection with general meetings in Europe. He will be absent until the first of October. Writing from Friedensau, July 23, he says: “I am leaving this place at the close of the Sabbath, July 26, for Brussels, where I am to spend a day with Elder Klingbeil, and speak to the church there. Monday, the twenty-eighth, I reach London for the Nottingham meeting. Then I leave England for the north Swiss meeting. From there I go to the Lausanne meeting. Then I attend a meeting in the south of France, and from there I go to Barcelona, Spain; next to Vienna, Austria; and my last meeting will be a ministerial institute in Sweden, September 11. I plan to sail for New York the twenty-fourth, where I should arrive about the first of October.” Brother Daniells promises reports of these meetings, and we hope to receive these from time to time. It is to be regretted that Brother Daniells has not been enjoying the best of health since starting on this journey. His long years of arduous labor and extensive travel have not left wholly unimpaired his natural strength and vigor. These years, however, have afforded him a rich experience in the things of God, and our brethren in the outlying fields greatly appreciate the help his long experience enables him to give. Let us pray that God will sustain his faithful servant and give him health and strength and courage for the important responsibilities of his world-wide labors.

Melrose Sanitarium’s Successful Year

We are gratified to learn from the Atlantic Union Gleaner that the Melrose Sanitarium is having a most successful year. The receipts from patients for the week ending July 12 were more than two thousand dollars, the largest amount ever received in any one week in the history of the institution. The registry shows an enrolment of more than eighty patients. Those connected with the work feel greatly encouraged and thankful to the Lord for the prosperity which is attending their efforts.

Smiths Take Charge in Bahama Islands

BROTHER J. H. SMITH and wife left the States early in July to take charge of the work in the Bahama Islands, made necessary by the return of Brother and Sister W. A. Sweany for the purpose of placing their children in school. Brother Smith had charge of the school at New Market, Va., last year. The Bahama Islands are an interesting field, and the readers of the REVIEW will watch with interest for reports from Brother and Sister Smith.

Washington Sanitarium Staff Completed

The complement of physicians making up the staff of the Washington Sanitarium is now complete. Announcement has already been made of Dr. H. W. Miller's connection with the work. Last week Dr. E. D. Haysmer, son of Elder A. J. Haysmer, connected with the work of the institution. This week Dr. M. N. Canfield, for a number of years the lady physician at the Portland (Oregon) Sanitarium, came to Washington to occupy the same position in the institution here. The friends of the institution are gratified in being able to secure the assistance of these physicians, and it is believed that great blessing will come to the Sanitarium through their ministry. Quite a number of patients have come to the institution during the last month, and there is every prospect of an excellent patronage for the future. Our brethren throughout the East may render the institution much help by recommending it to those in need of its ministry.

Workers Depart for European and African Fields

LAST week Thursday W. B. White and wife, O. K. Butler and wife (daughter of Brother and Sister White) and their two children, Marjorie and Grace, also Miss Florence White, left New York, on the “Baltic,” for Europe. Here another family tie must be broken, as Florence goes on to Persia to unite in marriage with F. F. Oster laboring in that field, while the remainder of the party go to South Africa, their future field. Brother White has made many friends during his stay in the Atlantic Union Conference while serving as its president, but cheerfully accepted the call to South Africa at General Conference, to serve in like capacity there,—because of R. C. Porter’s removal to China,—where the brethren await his coming to give him and his associates a warm welcome. In this same party Elder I. J. Hankins and wife returned to South Africa from about a year’s furlough in the States.

The Political Outlook

THE political outlook throughout the world has brightened somewhat during the last few days. The latest reports from the Far East indicate the probable suppression of the recent revolution, with the prospect of more settled conditions throughout China. Cable despatches from Bucharest, where the Balkan Peace Commission has been in session for several days, state that a treaty of peace between the Balkan allies was concluded August 6. By this treaty Bulgaria will fall far short of the realization of her hopes, in the matter of territorial extension. Following this treaty the powers have made formal demand of Turkey for the evacuation of Adrianople, and for the recognition by her of the territorial boundary established by the London treaty. The situation in Mexico remains practically unchanged. Ex-Governor Lind has been despatched to Mexico as the personal representative of President Wilson in an endeavor to secure the pacification of the country. Conditions have engendered much war talk throughout the country, and the nations generally are watching the outcome with keen interest.

Cluff Family En Route to Bolivia

AFTER attending the Seminary the past winter, W. O. Cluff and wife, of Southern New England, left Washington last week en route for Bolivia. They sail with the west coast party, August 16. Brother and Sister Cluff are nurses, and go out to the west coast of South America to join Brother and Sister Stahl in their work among the Indians, who so long have been pleading for help, and while waiting have both been near death’s door because of overwork. Their hearts rejoice at thought of new recruits on the way.
