Mission Work Finances

By Editor

We invite special attention to the article on page 6 dealing with the finances of our mission work.

The Original Diet and Missionary Witness

In relating his early experiences among the savage cannibals of New Guinea, James Chalmers, a pioneer worker among them, said that when the natives saw the missionaries opening canned meat, they came to the conclusion that they, too, were cannibals like themselves, and that they had men cooked, and sent out to them from their home country. Is it any wonder that the savages took this view of the matter? And could they be expected to make the distinction between the flesh of one animal and that of another? The original diet which God gave to man would not have been such a stumbling-block to these untutored savages.

Five Conditions of Genuine Revival

In the current number of The Missionary Review of the World the editor-in-chief, Arthur T. Pierson, emphasizes the following five conditions as being the conspicuous features of every recent revival in which something of the pentecostal power has been experienced:—

1. A marked return to simple evangelical preaching of the fundamental truths—sin, penalty, repentance, justification by faith.

2. Great emphasis upon believing, importunate, and united prayer.

3. Peculiar honor to the Holy Spirit as the indispensable bestower of all saving and sanctifying power.

4. Personal dealing with awakened and inquiring souls.

5. Reliance not upon preachers, but upon God alone.

Who can say that this does not indicate a very clear grasp of the foundation principles for a genuine revival? And are we not fully convinced of the great need of just this sort of an experience in our work? It is only through pentecostal power that this message can reach the world in this generation. “We have a solemn, weighty message to bear to the world, and God designs that his chosen disciples shall have a deep experience, and be endowed with the power of the Holy Spirit.” “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”; “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find.”

Brother H. G. Butler Returns

BROTHER H. G. BUTLER, who has been connected with the food business in England, has returned with his family to America. He arrived in Battle Creek last week.

Correction to Sabbath-School Lesson Text

THE first text quoted in the Sabbath-school lesson for November 8 should be Dan. 7:8, 24, instead of Dan. 8:8, 24, as printed in the Sabbath-school Quarterly. It would be well for all who use the Quarterly to make this correction at once.

Death of Sister G. W. Shone

THE sad news comes from Capetown, South Africa, of the death there, on September 18, of Sister G. W. Shone, née Anna C. King. Our sister had taken the nurses' course, and went out to Africa in 1895. She was editor of the South African Journal of Health, and a worker beloved by all. Thus the African field loses another able laborer, and its call for re-enforcements becomes more urgent.

Personal Experiences in Soul-Saving Work

By Editor

ARE not our workers having some personal experiences in soul-saving work which would be an encouragement to others if they knew about them? A general report of the work in any field is of interest to all, but we feel sure that some stirring personal experiences, briefly told, would be an added blessing to all our readers. We would be glad to have even more reports from the laborers in the field, but make this special call for some personal experiences. Let them be brief and pointed.

Christianity Is a Life

“CHRISTIANITY is not a system of ethics, of rules, of regulations; it is not a set of theories and moral precepts, preferable perhaps to any or all others, but similar. Christianity is a life, the life of God sent down from above to men. If it is not that, it is nothing. Its beautiful form is no more than ice-cold stone, with no power to help the one who embraces it; nay, more, it will absorb his warmth and life, and leave him cold and dead. He who embraces Christianity gets life, the very life of God.”

Reports of Progress Around the World

By Editor

ARE you noticing the wide extent of territory covered in our reports from week to week? From Alaska to Argentina; from Newfoundland to California; from Australia and the islands of the Pacific; from North, Central, and South Africa; from India, China, and Japan; from Scandinavia to Palestine, and from Ireland to Russia,—from these many parts of the wide world come reports of progress in the effort to make known the present truth. Is not the way prepared for a mighty effort to extend the light of truth from these many centers until the earth shall soon be lighted with the glory of this message? Let us never lose sight of the one definite purpose to give the advent message to the world in this generation.

Outrages During the Pennsylvania Coal Strike

According to a statement sent to the governor of Pennsylvania and the president of the United States by non-union miners in the Pennsylvania coal region, a “partial list” of outrages perpetrated, presumably by the miners, during the late strike, comprises the following: people killed, 14; severely injured, 42; shot from ambush, 16; aggravated assaults, 67; attempts to lynch, 1; houses dynamited, 12; houses burned, 3; buildings burned, 10; washeries burned, 3; stockades burned, 2; riots, 69; works dynamited, 6; trains dynamited, 1; railroad bridges dynamited, 4; railroads seized, 5; trains wrecked, 6; attempted wrecks, 9; trains attacked, 7; strikes in schools, 14.

The Passing of Liberty in Finland

THE blight of the autocratic rule of Russia is being felt more and more in unfortunate Finland. Step by step all semblance of liberty is being taken from a people who formerly enjoyed a reasonable degree of political freedom. Four new ordinances relating to that country have recently been promulgated at St. Petersburg, which will be a further and perhaps final blow at Finnish independence. In a recent issue of The Outlook these measures are thus defined:—

The first law provides that the Finnish Senate, which is both the central organ of administration and the supreme court of justice, shall be hereafter under the direct supervision of the governor-general appointed at St. Petersburg. The chancery of the senate, which prepares all reports on subjects to be considered by that body, is to be directly dependent upon the governor-general, and that officer, or his adjutant, is to be present at every important meeting. No decision can be taken in his absence without his consent, and he has the power of absolute veto on all resolutions passed by the senate. The second edict clothes the governor-general and the senate, thus reorganized, with authority to dismiss without legal trial any administrative official who has not been appointed directly by the czar. In cases where the appointment has been made by the czar, the czar's authorization is required. The third edict provides that the judicial department of the senate shall dismiss judges at its pleasure; and the fourth edict, which is regarded as the most radical and far-reaching in its consequences provides that no official, from the governor-general down, can be brought to trial on any charge without the consent of his superiors. Heretofore all servants of the crown have been responsible to the law for the legality of their actions, and this has served as a bar to the Russification of the country; by the operation of these laws all that remained of independence in Finland will be destroyed, and the country made subject to the absolute personal rule of the czar.
