Brother and Sister Cook accepted this truth under the labors of Elders Loughborough and Bourdeau in 1869, and became charter members of the Healdsburg Seventh-day Adventist Church. Our brother rejoiced in the blessed hope of a soon-coming Saviour, and longed to live to see that glorious event; but he sleeps in Jesus, and will doubtless have a part in the first resurrection.

The deceased was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Findlay, at which place the funeral services were held.

PARK.—Hibbard Park fell asleep in Jesus on May 4, 1913, in the thirty-third year of his life, at the Otter Lake (Mich.) Sanitarium.

This union was blessed with two daughters. The deceased was converted in 1901, through the labors of Brother A. L. Simms. Since that time his life had been that of an earnest Christian, and he was held in high esteem. Besides his wife and daughters, an aged mother and one brother are left to mourn. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. FRED BRINK.

MILES.—Sedillia Miles, née Workman, was born March 19, 1831, in Richland County, Ohio, and died March 9, 1913, at Denair, Cal. In the year 1852 she was married to Cyrus Miles, of Mount Vernon, Ohio. They settled in Muscatine County, Iowa, where they lived for fifteen years. Their next place of residence was Washington County, Iowa, where the deceased, together with her companion and children, heard and accepted present truth through the ministry of Elders George I. Butler and M. E. Cornell. The deceased was the mother of thirteen children, nine of whom, with the aged husband and father, are left to mourn. Although mother was eighty-two years old, she was active in distributing our truth-filled literature, and speaking of the love of Jesus and his soon coming. We feel confident that she sleeps in Jesus. Elder C. M. Gardner conducted the funeral service. MRS. VEADA MOGLE.

Missionary Returns and Camp-Meeting Progress

LAST week Dr. H. C. Menkel, who has been connected with the Seminary the past winter, left Washington on his way to India. He spends a few weeks in Philadelphia and New York in post-graduate work, and with his wife and little boy, will go on to India a little later. Dr. Menkel's services here while on furlough have been greatly appreciated, and as he and Sister Menkel return to the field they so much love, the best wishes and prayers of many will follow them.

AT the close of the camp-meeting season in the Australasian Union Conference Elder Morris Lukens reports that 270 were baptized and united with the church as a result of the spiritual blessings bestowed by the Lord upon the believers assembled in these general gatherings. Surely this is very encouraging and a splendid report of progress. The key-note of the meetings was, “Our great need as individuals and churches of a closer walk with God.” The outside attendance was large, an evidence of the interest in the truths of the message on the part of the people in the communities where the meetings were held. The workers are greatly encouraged by the good camp-meetings held during recent months.

Fair Play

HAVE Catholics equal rights before the law with their Protestant neighbors? Should the members of the Catholic Church be afforded equal opportunities as teachers in the public schools with members of the Protestant churches? According to the newspapers this is a question which has been under discussion in Charlotte, N. C., during the last few days. The Washington Post of June 23, says:—

“By a vote of ten to five the school board of Charlotte, the largest city of North Carolina, at its meeting last week discharged the Misses Mary and Helen Clifford as teachers on the ground that they are members of the Roman Catholic Church.

“This action was taken after a public hearing, at which pleas in behalf of the young women were made by prominent Protestant clergymen, a half-dozen of the leading lawyers of Charlotte, and other well-known citizens. Mayor Bland will appeal to the school board not to discharge the Misses Clifford.

“No secret was made of the reasons for the removal of the young women. It was admitted that they were efficient teachers, and that no charges had been made against their character.

“After listening for three hours to arguments for and against the young women, the school board promptly dismissed them.”

In the eyes of the law all citizens are accorded equal liberties, privileges, and opportunities. The Constitution wisely provides that no religious test should be required, and that one's religious faith or church affiliation should not bar him from the full rights of citizenship or the holding of public office. Of course where one's religious faith leads him to commit uncivil acts, that is an entirely different question. In that case the transgressor must be dealt with on the basis of incivility, because of his transgression of the civil law, rather than for his religious faith.

If the report given is correct, and these teachers at Charlotte, N. C., were discharged from the public school solely because they were members of the Catholic Church, then the action of the Charlotte school board was entirely wrong, and wholly un-American.

On the other hand, if they were holding their position as teachers to advance the special work of the church to which they belong, we can see justification in the action of the board. Supposing them innocent of this, it is gratifying to know that there were Protestant clergymen and others in Charlotte who raised their voices against this violation of guaranteed liberties.

Roman Catholics are entitled to fair play, the same as Protestants; and the tables should not be turned against them in any locality through the advantage of numbers. Protestants should accord to Catholics the same liberties they ask for themselves. This is simple justice and equity.

The Little Missionaries

By W. A. S.

In all the mission fields we count the little children missionary agents along with the parents. They open many a door in the dark lands and direct many a heart toward the gospel, and in praying for the missionary army I am sure the believers in the home lands do not forget that the missionaries' children have many a sacrifice also to lay upon the altar of service. An illustration of this comes in a letter from Brother W. H. Lewis, of Sierra Leone, West Africa. Speaking of his oldest child, still but a little girl, he says:—

“She was taken ill yesterday with blackwater fever. However, the attack was not very severe, and she is better today. The Lord is surely keeping our little ones in this trying climate. Alma has so much faith! She awoke in the night and asked if we had been praying for her. I told her, ‘Yes.’ ‘I knew you had, for I feel so much better.’”

All round the seasons of the year north and south of the equator our missionary families are going through these experiences. Let us hold them up before the throne of grace in prayer.
