BOOK NOTICES

"California Fruits and How to Grow Them." By Edward J. Wickson, A.M. Fifth edition, revised and extended, 600 large octavo pages, well illustrated. Price, postpaid, $3.00. Pacific Rural Press, San Francisco.
The author of this book is dean and professor of agriculture in the College of Agriculture of the University of California, director and horticulturist of the Agricultural Experiment Station, author of "California Vegetables in Garden and Field," editor of The Pacific Rural Press, member of the National Council of Horticulture, etc. In other words, Professor Wickson has had large, truly scientific experience in the things of which he writes. One of the reasons of many intelligent but misdirected failures in California fruit-growing is dependence upon books and instruction written for Eastern climates, Eastern conditions, Eastern soils, and Eastern seasons. These books are often well-written handbooks by experienced men, and give much general knowledge, but fail in crucial places. Professor Wickson's book is for California soils, fruit-growers, conditions, and difficulties. It presents the methods which have yielded the largest returns, and it tells the reader the fruits best adapted to the different parts of the state. It deals with soils and climates, with preparation and cultivation, orchard fruits, semi-tropical fruits, small fruits, nuts, fruit preservation, fruit protection from insects and diseases, and miscellaneous. A copious index directs you to anything you wish to find. California fruit-growers are greatly indebted to Professor Wickson. It is the chief of handbooks in fruit-growing.
"Bible Nature Series, Number Two." By Marion E. Cady. Cloth, illustrated. Price $1.35. Pacific Press Publishing Association, Mountain View, California.
This is book two in a series of three. It is a natural development of geography, physiology, and other elementary sciences with the Bible and nature as the basis. The book starts with the plan of God in the beginning, as revealed in Genesis, and extends out into the plant, sidereal, and animal fields. In a general way it considers the whole plan of God as regards this earth. The author believes that God's plan is reasonable, orderly, and logical, and this work is a progressive study along God's revealed plan. The book is not alone adapted to school work, but may be used in home study as well.
"Race Assimilation, or the Fading Leopard's Spots." By Prof. John James Holm. Strikingly and bountifully, if not beautifully illustrated. Price, postpaid, $1.50. J. L. Nichols & Company, Napierville, Illinois; Atlanta, Georgia.
Ten Afro-Americans have contributed chapters or essays. The book claims to be "a complete scientific exposition of the most tremendous question that has ever confronted two races in the world's history." The author repudiates the superiority of the pure-blood race theory; he strongly suggests that the Japanese may settle in the South and solve the race question by amalgamation and multiplication; advocates the sterilization of criminals; believes that the illicit intercourse between the sexes of the races is responsible for the growing criminality. His remedy is amalgamation, which he believes will go on despite all that men can do, and that ere long a pure-blooded white or pure-blooded Negro can not be found in the South. The book is a frank, open discussion from the phrenological view-point. "The way out" is thus summed up: "An open, unprejudiced intermarriage union, scientific care of the criminal class of both races, with a natural modulated separation of the races, without any state interference, just as the conscience and religious convictions may dictate to the men and women of a free country, and an education on the broad basis of universal brotherhood—these are the essentials in overcoming clannishness and color lines and in establishing a united people in these United States." Its little theology is unbiblical.
"Writing on the Clouds." By Arthur Newman. Price 90 cents net. Sherman, French & Company, Boston, Massachusetts.
The book consists of thirteen essays on religious topics and experiences, especially developing the spiritual idea, and emphasizing great facts of life in a suggestive, helpful way.
"Concrete from Sand Molds." By A. A. Houghton. Well and instructively illustrated. Price $2.00. The Norman W. Henley Publishing Company, 132 Nassau Street, New York City.
In these days when lame and backward conservation plans have allowed our forests to be cut away or burned up, or lenient governments have permitted them to be absorbed by great capitalists or syndicates, and in consequence the price of timber is constantly on the increase, of necessity men must more and more turn to other building materials, among which none offers a more promising field than concrete. Until quite recently concrete work has been generally crude and coarse, but "the old order changeth." The book above noted is a splendid assistance to the concrete worker. It is a practical treatise, explaining a simple system of molding ornamental and plain concrete with molds of wet sand. This very process has been held as a trade secret, but is so no longer. The book is written in clear, plain language so that any intelligent workman can comprehend the directions, and find an open field of large and comparatively inexpensive possibilities.
"From Text to Talk." By Addison Ballard, D.D. Cloth. Price $1.20. Sherman, French & Company, Boston, Massachusetts.
The object of the book seems to be to place old and important truths in new settings. It is designed to be a companion book to the author's "From Talk to Text." There are forty-three chapters in the book; and so far as we have read them, at random, live, earnest, spiritual, uplifting talks they are, abounding in epigram, and strong terse sayings; for instance: "Christianity"—this for its grand distinction, that it begins where the best unchristianized disposition leaves off." "Has the young man or woman away at school or college found home-love dying out of his or her heart? To that extent, then, is he or she low-lived." Here are some of the chapter titles: "Christianity a Religion of Facts;" "Contrariwise;" "The Silent Life;" "The Cross a Symbol of Obedience;" "Love's 'Finally;'" "The Early Morning Outfit of Prayer."
"Michael Servetus: His Life and Teaching." By Carl Theophilus Odhner. Cloth. Price 50 cents. J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The historical part of the little book gives a juster setting to the controversy between Servetus and Calvin, and does not place "the pope of Geneva" in the best light. Whatever his errors, Servetus stood on Protestant ground, while that of Calvin was purely papal. A résumé is given of the theology of Servetus. The book would be worth more if it had less of Swedenborgianism.
"Ornamental Concrete Without Molds." By A. A. Houghton. Cloth, well illustrated. Price $2.00. The Norman W. Henley Publishing Company, 132 Nassau Street, New York City.
This little book claims to be a working manual containing everything that a concrete worker needs to know to perfect the many styles of ornamental concrete work without the purchase of expensive molds. It sets forth a system of molding from templates. The work is designed for the concrete worker and for the small contractor who can not afford to purchase expensive molds for the many varieties of work he is called upon to do, as well as for the artist workman. Instruction for making the inexpensive templates is given.
"Animal Stories for Little People." Seventy illustrations. Price 50 cents. Henry Altemus Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This is an interesting little book in which the animals are made to talk and tell their own stories and reveal their own characters. Many of the illustrations are in color.

Our Mission Funds

By Editor

THERE are other needy fields beside these which are listed in this paper, both home and foreign; but we know of no others more needy.
Take China for instance. One of the greatest agencies in reaching the Chinese is through the press. They reverence printed matter. Our publications can not be produced with the meager means at our command in Shanghai as rapidly as they can be sold and judiciously distributed by devoted colporteurs. The SIGNS has opened this fund for the purpose of purchasing a power press for China. Who wants a part in it?
The Tokyo Church Fund is for the purpose of providing a central house of worship for missionary purposes in the great capital city of Tokyo. Its need was set forth some weeks ago by Professor Field. The church will help greatly to impress upon the Japanese that the missionaries are not wanderers and irresponsible. It will not take the place of the Gospel, but it will furnish a place where the Gospel can be reached.
Our India Library Fund is for the purpose of placing the Bible and Christian publications in the great public libraries of India, where the learned pundits, priests, scholars, and gentlemen may and will read, tho they may be too proud to listen. It is a splendid side avenue.
"Fruit for India" was by some mistake called last month "Fruit for China." But the donations credited were for India. The one who has charge of this fund is Elder C. L. Taylor, Sanitarium, California. We close this fund this week. All other donations for fruit for India will be held at his order. Fruit donations would, we think, be acceptable. Let those having fruit to donate write him as above.
We are glad in behalf of these missions and our mission workers to acknowledge these offerings. In their behalf we thank the donors. We know that some of the smallest gifts have cost sacrifice. Others have rendered to the Lord that which they feel is His. We hope the next month will bring from willing hearts still greater returns.

Our Work and Workers

By Editor

WE wish it were possible in these few notes to give all the omens of progress in this world-wide work. Most of the results of evangelical work done is not reported. Nearly all who yield themselves to God do it one by one; but these do not come into our report. It is rarely that we notice a report less than three. One of the greatest evidences of God's time is seen in the many calls for laborers.
At Dogden, North Dakota, five were baptized on July 31.
SEVEN were recently baptized at Montgomery, Alabama.
H. W. OLIVER reports the baptism of eight persons at Roseburg, Oregon.
A CHURCH of twenty-one members has been organized at La Fayette, Indiana.
At Taswell, Indiana, about sixteen persons have taken their stand for the truth.
At Austell, Georgia, six souls have recently taken their stand for God's truth.
FIVE have accepted the truth as a result of meetings held near Kittanning, Pennsylvania.
SIX have taken their stand for the truth at Forsyth, Montana, the result of tent meetings.
At Orlando, Florida, July 17, eight were baptized and a church of twelve members organized.
JULY 16 at Birmingham, Alabama, sixteen persons were baptized, ten of these being young people.
THREE new converts are the result of meetings held in one of our Danish-Norwegian churches in Chicago, Illinois.
As a result of tent meetings conducted by C. G. Manns at Macon, Georgia, sixteen have begun to keep the Sabbath.
IN the Georgia conference seventy-five new Sabbath-keepers have added their names to the church-membership the past year.
BROTHER FAIRCHILD reports four new Sabbath-keepers at Midland, Maryland, and also has baptized five in that section recently.
A CHURCH of forty members was organized at Pensacola, Florida. Before organization they had built a neat church without aid from the mission.
At Ocala, Florida, tent meetings have been conducted resulting in the organization of a church of eleven members, and eight following the Lord in baptism.
As a result of tent meetings conducted by J. W. McCord and M. H. St. John in Los Angeles, California, between forty-five and fifty persons have accepted the truth.
GEO. H. SKINNER met two French Canadian families who had never seen a minister of our faith, but who had kept the Sabbath for six years. It is God's time to work.
At Benedict, North Dakota, eleven were baptized July 24, and the same evening, with ten others were organized into a church, together with twenty-nine who were already there, making a church of fifty members.
BROTHER F. W. WESTPHAL, in Chile, baptized eighteen at Gorbea, two at Bajo Imperial, and two at Carahue, and has also organized three new churches, one at Lancohe, one at Temuco, and another of the conference workers.
ONE of our most valuable workers in India, Elder J. C. Little, died recently of cholera. He was in charge of the Bengali work in East Bengal. In the death of this earnest, faithful, self-sacrificing laborer, India sustains a great loss. His grieving parents in California and the lonely wife and children in India will have the sympathy and prayers of God's people.

A Day of Fasting and Prayer

By Editor

A Day of Fasting and Prayer.—A special day of fasting and prayer, Sabbath, September 17, has been set apart by the General Conference Committee to seek God for greater consecration and for His special blessing upon our constantly enlarging work, especially in the large cities. It ought to be a day of individual confession of sin, humbling of heart, and unitedly seeking God for power for service. All are entreated to join in this united, unselfish, whole-hearted seeking of the Master's blessing. Great are His promises, and the simple faith of the child may grasp them. "Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain" is His own exhortation. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find." "And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart."
Laborers Wanted.—A call has been made by the General Conference for 120 volunteers for mission fields as follows: 27 for China, 18 for India, 6 for South Africa, 6 for Japan, 11 for the West Indies, 34 for South America, 3 for the Philippine Islands, 7 for West Africa, 1 for the Straits Settlements, 6 for Great Britain, and 2 for Bermuda. Of this company 56 should be evangelists, 21 nurses, 26 canvassers, 4 physicians, 9 teachers, and 4 Bible workers. This item which we gather from the Review and Herald foots up 121. The General Conference would need the extra one and more too by the time they secured him. This is a splendid opportunity to volunteer.

Cancer Cure Through Vaccine

According to newspaper reports, Dr. P. K. Gilman, government surgeon, professor of surgery in the Philippine Medical School, announces the discovery of a cure of cancer through the use of vaccine. Within a short time the secret will be given to all the medical world. He claims that the cure itself is very simple. The wonder is that it has not been discovered before.

Infantile Paralysis Epidemic

A despatch from Washington declares that there is an alarming increase of infantile paralysis which is killing or crippling thousands of children. It has aroused the Government so that it will make an investigation into the cause of the disease. Most children attacked by it are under five years of age, and the disease is considered both infectious and contagious.

Train Wreck Near Durand

An awful train wreck occurred on the Grand Trunk road near Durand, Michigan, August 24. Two trains collided. The wreck immediately caught fire and fifteen were burned to death in consequence, most of them beyond recognition.

Korea Annexed to Japan

"The Hermit Kingdom" is no more. She is already practically annexed to Japan. The document which makes this effective was signed August 22 and will soon be officially promulgated. A short time ago two great powers, Russia and Japan, were in a life-and-death struggle for control of Korea. Japan has the prize. It is thought that there will be very little if any open objection on the part of Korea.

Sunday Laws and California Candidates

By Editor

Candidates are now nominated in California for the state election a few weeks away. Probably not one legislator will escape the demand that he pledge himself to some sort of Sunday law. Now is the time to enlighten candidate, legislator, and citizen. If Sunday be of divine origin and nature, it needs no support; if it be of human origin, it does not deserve it. Let its devotees enshrine it in their own hearts and support it among themselves. Why should they demand this of others any more than they should demand baptism?

Death of Edward Payson Hammond

By Editor

We note the death of the Rev. Edward Payson Hammond, who died in Hartford, Connecticut, August 14, at the age of seventy-nine. He was one of the old-time successful evangelists. He might be called the children's evangelist, for a great deal of his work was among children. For two or three years we were in quite close correspondence with him, and he contributed quite a number of articles to this journal. His preaching and teaching were very plain, very practical, and very tender.

Romanism and Protestantism

By Editor

The article in our Outlook Department of last week and the one in the same department this week emphasize anew the essential differences between Romanism and Protestantism. They can only come together by one or the other ceasing to exist. All of the changes thus far have been on the part of Protestantism. The life of that movement was drawn from the Word; it arose and grew and throve in proportion as faith appropriated the Word, yielding this faith, it yields its power, its life. No dialectic controversy will settle the merits of the question; the only remedy for the difference, for Catholicism, for weakening, vacillating Protestantism, is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

American Extravagance Before the Fall

Cardinal Gibbons believes the extravagance of present American life is closely approaching that of Rome before her fall. He said, according to newspaper reports: "The rich man is greedy for more. He seems never to have enough to satisfy his desire. . . . The cry [for wealth] is the same everywhere. Then there is the desire for inordinate pleasures. We have many more channels of pleasure than there were in the days of Augustus Cæsar, yet there is the desire for new pleasures and greater enjoyment." One might well call these words a commentary on 2 Timothy 3 or James 5.

Cost of War in Times of Peace

Cost of War in Times of Peace.—What folly to talk of peace when the nations are war mad. Note this comparison made by a paper in the East, the figures of which will not be disputed. The total naval expenditures in this country for the five fiscal years 1861 to 1865, during which a navy was built great enough to blockade the Atlantic Coast from the mouth of the Potomac to that of the Rio Grande, to chase Confederate privateers around the world, and to cooperate with the army on various rivers and bays, aggregated $326,650,069. During the five fiscal years just closed, 1906 to 1910, years of profound peace, the naval expenditures amounted to $573,022,101. It is said that the Federal Government is spending every working day $3,567,685.66. This is not an omen of stability. It is a sign of the times. See Joel 3:9-12.

The Religious Trust

The trust principle does not find its expression among the great "captains of industry" and "merchant princes" alone. It is found elsewhere. To meet the money or capitalistic trust we have the labor trust, and it has not always been judicious, mild, or peaceably inclined. Then, too, we have the great church federation that is nothing more nor less than a religious trust, which assumes to mark out mission fields, direct missionary activities, and give mold to the political life. It demands as one of its badges of power a civilly enforced sabbath. It demands control in both civil and religious activities, at home and in mission fields. The religious trust, founded on principles which are essentially worldly, is the worst trust of all, and is inevitably bound to work out evil. "Religious combinations to effect a political purpose are always dangerous." In the legitimate war against trusts, do not forget the religious trust.

Trusts and Trusts.

By Editor

It is an age of combination, always good if legitimate in union and purpose; always evil and oppressive if based on wrong principles and successful. Among the self-evident trusts are the great commercial combines which seek to control all business activities and necessaries of life. The results are everywhere condemned. Most religionists, and especially the preachers, condemn the trust. Many times they condemn the trust, but not the principle.

An Era of Extravagance.

By Editor

We are not pointing out figures or facts because we are in politics in any way. The demon of extravagance seems to control men and women when every condition, every comparison, ought to demand economy. From our own general government down extravagance dominates the life. For instance, the last Congress authorized expenditure amounting to $1,098,347,184, or more than one thousand million dollars, nearly one per cent of our entire national wealth, nearly one half of the national wealth of Switzerland or Portugal, more than the assessed valuation real and personal of any state in the Union save fourteen, more than twice the value of all our wheat crop, more than $50 for every family in the United States. Senator Aldrich, the wealth center of the Senate, some time ago intimated that more than $300,000,000 was wasted each year at Washington, which the New York World declares is equal to $16.33 a year for each family. And the same spirit of extravagance takes hold upon more than half the people. Sometime the crash will come and the wrecks will be many.
