SPECIAL NOTICE TO YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN.

God is calling to-day for earnest, consecrated young men and women to enter the work, and have a part in the closing message that is going to the world. Many feel their need of a better preparation for the work of God, and the advantages offered in Battle Creek College for a short course preparatory to entering the field are most excellent. We believe there are many who would be glad to go out into the Conferences as self-supporting missionaries, and Battle Creek College is willing to assist such in obtaining, under competent instructors, a training in broom-making, printing, dressmaking, and tailoring. For terms, etc., address the undersigned. We also wish, in addition to the foregoing, twenty-five young men who desire to earn a scholarship in Battle Creek College next summer. For full particulars, address J. W. Collie (Manager), Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich.

ONE OF THE SONGS IN THE NEW BOOK.

SOME SWEET DAY.

Dedicated to W. H. Doane, composer of the first “Some Sweet Day.”
“I go to prepare a place for you; and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also.”—John 14: 2, 3. —F. E. BELDEN.
1. We shall meet beyond the skies, Some sweet day, some sweet day; Gaze no more in tearful eyes,
2. There will be no vacant chair, Some sweet day, some sweet day; Nor a mourning circle, there,
3. Winter’s frost or summer’s heat, Some sweet day, some sweet day; Make no harvest incomplete,

REFRAIN.

Some sweet day, some sweet day. We shall clasp our own again, Free from sorrow, sin, and pain; Some sweet day, some sweet day. Death shall hear its note of doom, Christ shall burst the sealed tomb, Some sweet day, some sweet day. Eden bloom is ev’rywhere, Fadeless flow’rs perfume the air,
We shall wish no more in vain, Some sweet day, some sweet day. Dust shall wake in beauty’s bloom, Some sweet day, some sweet day. Christ himself the sunlight fair, Some sweet day, some sweet day.
4. Mansion, crown, and harp of gold, Some sweet day, some sweet day; Songs that never shall grow old, Some sweet day, some sweet day. Joy shall bid farewell to Care, Praise shall sing no more with Prayer, Love shall lead us, over there, Some sweet day, some sweet day.
Copyright, 1895, by F. E. Belden.

Words of Commendation for “Christ in Song Hymnal.”

I am greatly pleased with “Christ in Song,” and hope that it may be extensively used.—MRS. L. FLORA PLUMMER, Des Moines, Iowa.
Think it is a success. Have looked over the collection, and find many of my old favorites, which I have always remembered since I left the Episcopal Church; I know that the best have been culled from that church’s hymnology. The new songs are all good ones. Altogether, it is the finest collection of hymns I have ever found in a Sabbath-school song book, and the price is low. I hope that many may be sold.—JOSEPHINE GRANNIS, Secretary Florida Tract Society, Orlando, Fla.
We are very much pleased with the book, and think it will give good satisfaction wherever used.—NEW YORK TRACT SOCIETY, Rome, N. Y.
We regard the binding and general make-up of the book all that could be asked for in one of the kind.—S. D. HARTWELL, Fond du Lac, Wis.
We are much pleased with it, and will order a good supply.—TEXAS TRACT SOCIETY, Dallas, Tex.
We note the many excellent points of “Christ in Song.” We have given it a careful examination, and unhesitatingly pronounce it the best Sabbath-school song book we have ever examined.—UPPER COLUMBIA TRACT SOCIETY, College Place, Wash.
Very nicely arranged and very complete. Will fill a long-realized need.—H. W. COTTRELL, Pres. New England Conference.

United States and Papal Power in Philippines

At a grand reception in Manila in honor of Apostolic Delegate Archbishop Chapelle, January 23, a petition was presented to the apostolic delegate “praying for the withdrawal of the friars from the Philippine Islands.” In the midst of the reading of the petition, the apostolic delegate stopped the reading, and said that “that question would be regulated by the pope, General Otis, and himself.” And so already it has come to pass that the United States government in the Philippines is an essential party in a triumvirate in which the pope and his apostolic delegate are the other two. But as the pope is in Rome, this leaves only the other two in the Philippines. And as the apostolic delegate is the mouthpiece and sole channel of communication with the pope, this makes him the superior of the two who are on the ground in the Philippines. And this makes the United States second to the Church of Rome in the Philippine Islands. Therefore, in truth, whatever settlement is made will be really by “the pope and himself;” and the only place where General Otis will really come in, will be with the power of the United States to compel the acceptance of such arrangement as shall have been made by “the pope and himself.” And so the United States government becomes the tool of the papacy.

Life Boat Communications

By Editor

IN a note two weeks ago we stated that in the February Life Boat there was printed an excellent picture of Sister S. M. I. Henry. Upon this a whole lot of folks have written to the REVIEW AND HERALD to get that Life Boat! We supposed all readers of the REVIEW knew that the Life Boat is published in Chicago, not in Battle Creek. All communications with or for the Life Boat send to 1926 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill.

Russian Domination of Persia

A EUROPEAN correspondent of Harper's Weekly, February 10, says that “Persia to-day is practically as much a Russian province as Manchuria;” and that “the latest news shows how all but absolute is the Russian domination” there. This gives to Russia the heart of Asia, as well as all the north and all the east of Asia above the fortieth parallel. Her next step is to secure a harbor for a naval station on the Persian Gulf, “in which, it is said, ‘England’s power in the East will have received one of its deadliest blows.’

Protestantism and Rome

IN a sermon a short time ago the minister of the Simpson M. E. Church, Detroit, Mich., mentioned, as a commendable thing, that “there is a closer approach now between the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant denominations in America than ever before.” Yes, that is so; but all such Protestant denominations are no longer Protestant; for if they were truly Protestant, they would protest against any sort of approach between themselves and Rome. But “Babylon is fallen;” and mother and daughters are finding this family relationship very agreeable. But the Lord says, “Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins.”

Universities Seek Thirty-Three Million Dollars

THE Chicago Tribune made inquiry of the universities in the United States as to how much they needed, to relieve their wants during the year 1900. The sum of the reply is that they are in pressing need of thirty-three million dollars “for higher education.” On this the Interior justly remarks that “there is no other feeling in the mind of a sensible patriot than of moral contempt for such pretenses. Who is benefited by such vast masses of money?—Not the students, whether they be rich or poor. It costs a student very nearly exactly five times as much in those institutions for matriculation and tuition fees as it cost us boys, fifty years ago. . . . The more money there is piled up in those universities, the less they are worth to the people.”

“THE HERALDS OF THE MORNING”

is a book of two hundred and seventy-nine pages, with one hundred and nine illustrations, written by Elder A. O. Tait, and published in beautiful style by the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal. There are several books for the present time; but this book is for the present time in a way that no other one is. It occupies a field of its own alone. It presents the truth of the near coming of the Lord in a way that no other book does. It arrays the Scriptures that tell of the last days and the coming of the Lord, with the present-day evidences of their fulfillment, as has never before been done. And it is done most effectively. It is so done that anybody who reads it can not fail to see that it is all so. It takes the things that everybody does see, for they are so open and rife that it is impossible for any not to see them, and sets them in the glowing light of the Scriptures: and it is so done that by its very simplicity and force every one who reads is convinced that this is the very time, and these are the very things, referred to in those scriptures. There are twenty-four chapters. Some of them are: “Watchman, What of the Night?” “He Will Come Again,” “Great Deceptions,” “What Many People Shall Say,” “Judgment Is Turned Away Backward,” “And the Nations Were Angry,” “The Voice of the Elements,” “The Testimony of the Earth,” “Ye Have Heaped Treasures together for the Last Days,” etc., etc. It matters not what other books you may have read, you should read this one; for you will not have read all till you have read this one. There are thoughts here and there that have been taught in other books; but taking the book as a whole, its matter, its plan, and its method, there is nothing like it: it stands absolutely alone. No one can read it, even though it were possible that he should not believe it, without being far more intelligent than before. It is especially an intelligence-conveying book. Get it, and read it; and you will say that this notice of it is a strictly sober and truthful one throughout. And when you have read it, be sure to pass it on to your neighbor: it will do him good. The price is $1.25; gilt, $1.50. Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.; New York City; Kansas City, Mo.; and Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Congress

CONGRESS, by an overwhelming vote, excluded Mr. Roberts from taking a seat; and at the same time, and by the same vote, excluded the Constitution of the United States. That is to say, the thing that Congress did was unconstitutionally done, when the same result could have been Constitutionally attained. This is recognized throughout the whole country; and no one can doubt it who will read the speeches on the subject. More than this, what was unconstitutionally done, even by an overwhelming majority, could in effect have been Constitutionally done by a unanimous vote. The question is, Why should Congress do a thing in an unconstitutional way when its whole purpose and intent could have been attained in a strictly Constitutional way? The answer is that by the majority influence of this nation, the Constitution, as to true Constitutional principle, has been completely lost sight of. Ever since the nation, in 1892, tore the Sabbath of the Lord from its place in his own law, and set up Sunday in its stead, the nation in every crisis has taken the wrong course. By that high-handed act the nation was handed over to the perverse spirit, and it is manifested on every occasion; and all the more as occasions multiply.

Ecclesiastical Courts in the Philippines

As is well known, Archbishop Chapelle is apostolic delegate to Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, and is now in the Philippines. He has been there but a little while; yet he has already proposed that there “the ecclesiastical court should be reorganized as it was during the Spanish régime.” This, because of the fixed papal doctrine that “ecclesiastical offenders against the law should be brought to trial only before an ecclesiastical tribunal.” That is, when a priest breaks the law, he must not be tried by the regular courts like any other lawbreaker, but must be tried by his fellow ecclesiastics. Such a system, of course, leads to practical exemption of the ecclesiastics from all punishment for crime, and so results in an unmitigated ecclesiastical tyranny. No wonder that the archbishop’s proposal stirred the resentment of the Filipinos. And now it will be a matter of intense interest to all to watch the course of events, and see whether the United States government supports the archbishop or the Filipinos.
