The One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund

The name of Mrs. Mary Fulton in the twenty-five cent list in the REVIEW of June 18 should have been Miss Elsie Fulton.

The donation of $9.98 credited to Elder E. H. Gates in the REVIEW of June 15 should not have appeared, as it had previously been reported through another source. By a misunderstanding, a donation of one thousand dollars sent several months ago was credited to the Washington fund entire. The donor desired, however, five hundred dollars to be applied to the work in the South. This reduces the amount previously reported to $93,894.

Field Notes

Six persons received baptism at the North Philadelphia church, Sabbath, June 3.

BROTHER J. G. KROEKER reports from Grand Island, Neb.: “Sabbath, May 20, two persons were baptized, and we expect other candidates for baptism in the near future; in fact, there are some already keeping the Sabbath who wish to be baptized soon.”

ELDER S. S. SHROCK reports the baptism of eight persons at Kingston, Pa., May 28, and of three others at the same place, June 4, and another baptismal service will be necessary soon. This, he says, “is largely the result of Sister Weiss’s faithful Bible work.”

ELDER J. D. RICE writes from California: “I baptized twelve at Sebastopol, Cal., last Sabbath, and others will be baptized soon. Four have just begun to keep the Sabbath here in Berkeley. Several are awaiting baptism. The Lord is gathering the harvest. We are of good courage.”

A GOOD work is being done among the colored people in St. Louis. Brother G. R. Underwood, who is at work in that field, writes: “The work here among the colored people is onward. There are a great number of interested ones, and many calls for Bible readings are being received. Sabbath, April 29, two dear souls were buried with Christ by baptism, and united with the first colored church.”

The following tent companies and workers are in the field in the West Michigan Conference: Elder R. C. Horton and J. C. Brower at Benton Harbor; Elder Fred Brink and B. F. Kneeland at Lake Odessa; Elder W. C. Hebner and James Irving, near Sturgis; Elder C. A. Hansen and Drury Reavis at Kalamazoo; Elder W. H. Heckman and Battle Creek laborers at Battle Creek; Elder Jacob Hofstra at Allendale.

WE are pleased to announce that Elder A. M. Dart and wife have so far recovered their health that they feel called upon to return to Alaska, from which field they came eleven months ago. At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Pacific Union Conference, held in Washington, it was decided to grant their request. Elder Dart will no doubt sail for Alaska during the month of July, to labor in the coast country, where the climate is not at all trying, and where they will be in touch with the masses that are going to and returning from the interior.—Pacific Union Recorder.

DEFINITE arrangements have been made for seven tent companies in Nebraska, as follows: District No. 1, Falls City; workers, Elder R. F. Andrews, Brethren A. D. Gilbert and Merton A. Farnsworth, Sisters E. M. Peebles and Lizzie Lockwood. District No. 2, Indianola; workers, Brethren G. Mathieson and O. E. Jones, and Sister Ruth Jones; Sutton; (German) workers, Brethren G. A. Grauer and A. A. Meyer. District No. 3, Omaha; (Danish-Norwegian) workers, Elder Lewis Johnson, Brother Emil Johanson, and other assistants; (Swedish), workers, Brethren Carl Svenson and Albert Anderson, and other assistants. District No. 4, Ansley; workers, Elders L. E. Johnson, C. A. Beeson, and other assistants. District No. 5, Wayne; workers, Brethren J. W. Beams, C. H. Miller, and other assistants.

Current Mention

— China is replying to the exclusion law rigorously maintained by the United States, by a boycott on American-made goods. A dispatch from Tientsin states that the Chinese guilds are behind the boycotting movement, and that the latter is daily assuming more serious proportions.

— A deficit of about $30,000,000 for the fiscal year is announced at the Treasury Department, and government officials express the opinion that legislation by Congress to increase the revenues of the government will be a necessity at the next session, as there is no prospect of a decrease in expenditures in the near future, if at all.

— The popular premier of Greece, Theodore Delyannis, was stabbed and mortally wounded by a professional gambler named Gherakaris at the entrance of the Chamber of Deputies in the afternoon of June 13. The premier died within three hours. The assassin, who was immediately arrested, said he committed the deed in revenge for the stringent measures taken by Premier Delyannis against the gambling houses, all of which recently were closed.

— The insurrection against Turkish rule in Macedonia is marked by frequent combats, in some of which a large number of those engaged are killed or wounded. One of the latest reports from that region, dated at Salonica, says: “A band of Macedonian insurgents, eighty strong, commanded by Tontcheff, was completely exterminated by Turkish troops near Palanka, June 13, after seven hours’ severe fighting. The Turks lost nine killed, including two officers, and had eleven men wounded.”

— The unions of workingmen in Norway and Sweden, together with the Socialists, are exerting a most important influence on the political situation growing out of the separation of Norway from the union. A dispatch from Stockholm states that Swedish labor unions are daily telegraphing the unions in Norway that they will refuse to bear arms in any effort by the Swedish government to coerce Norway into reunion with Sweden. The Social Democratic party has issued a proclamation saying that it is the firm decision of the workingmen not to respond to any call to arms.

— Russia and Japan have agreed to enter into negotiations to end the war, and Washington has been selected as the place where the negotiations will be conducted, Japan not being willing that any European city should be chosen. Meanwhile the opposing armies in Manchuria seem to be on the eve of another battle, and it is feared an armistice may not be established in time to prevent another conflict. The Japanese commander, Oyama, is reported to have with him an army of 600,000 men, and it is expected that the force under General Linevitch, which is said to be only about half as large, will be surrounded and captured if the battle is fought.

— Another war cloud is looming darkly over Europe. A Paris dispatch of recent date says: “Much uneasiness prevails in official quarters here concerning the Franco-German situation growing out of the Moroccan question, and the continued cabinet crisis resulting from M. Delcassé’s retirement from the foreign office. Although the conferences between Premier Rouvier and Prince Radolin, the German ambassador, continue, they have not yet brought the satisfactory results that the officials anticipated. The Bourse to-day showed marked sensitiveness concerning the ministerial uncertainty.”

Obituaries

Harris.—Died in Emmet County, Mich., May 9, 1905, John Harris. He was born in Virginia, of free colored parents, March 21, 1823. In 1876 he and his wife heard and accepted the truths held so dear by Seventh-day Adventists. He was unable to leave the house for nearly a year before his death, but he never complained. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from John 11:25. Andrew Maples.

Baker.—Died at Midland, Mich., June 6, 1905, Brother Converse Baker, aged 60 years, 10 months, and 2 days. He became a Seventh-day Adventist twenty-seven years ago, and from that time the truth was ever dear to him. We laid him to rest fully expecting to meet him at the first resurrection. He leaves a wife, two sons, and one daughter. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. A. R. Sandborn.

Gilbert.—Died at Baltimore, Md., June 9, 1905, Charles Gilbert, aged 47 years, 5 months, and 28 days. At the time of his death he was a member of the first Seventh-day Adventist church in Baltimore. A wife and six children are left to mourn their loss, but they are comforted in affliction with the hope that he will come forth in the first resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by the writer; text, John 11:24, 25. G. B. Thompson.

Butterbaugh.—Died at Hooper, Colo., March 23, 1905, my father, William Butterbaugh, aged 76 years, 5 months, and 21 days. He first heard the doctrines of the third angel’s message preached by Elders McCoy and Nicols at Riverside, Iowa, in 1844, and began the observance of the Sabbath shortly thereafter. In 1893 he requested baptism, and was immersed by a Methodist minister. He continued the observance of the Sabbath, and professed faith in most of the doctrines held by Seventh-day Adventists, but never applied for membership. Trusting in the promises of God and a soon-coming Saviour, he fell asleep. We believe he rests in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by Judge C. C. Holbrook (S. D. A.). Interment took place at Denver. W. S. Butterbaugh, M. D.

Whipple.—Fell asleep in Jesus in Battle Creek, Mich., May 10, 1905, Sister Sarah B. Whipple, aged 82 years and 10 months. From early childhood she lived a Christian. The Word of the Lord was precious to her, and she followed closely every point of truth which came to her mind. She became especially interested in the lines of prophecy, and accepted the great movement of the second advent of Christ in 1840-44. So another pioneer has passed away. Sister Whipple was faithful in attendance at meetings and in Christian duties, and won the affection of all who knew her. She leaves her son Clarence, and her esteemed brother, Elder George I. Butler, to mourn, but with a bright hope of meeting again at the resurrection, when all the redeemed of the Lord shall enter the kingdom of glory. The funeral was held in the Tabernacle, with a large attendance. I. D. Van Horn.

Wick.—Died at Carthage, Mo., May 15, 1905, Eva M. Wick, aged 49 years, 10 months, and 15 days. When eleven years old, she was converted and baptized under the labors of Elder I. Sanborn. With her parents (who were pioneers in the message) she moved to Missouri in 1869. She was always an active and ardent advocate of the principles of health and temperance, a faithful and consistent Christian, and a tireless and unselfish worker in her home and the church. She died in full assurance of the Saviour’s acceptance, and with a bright hope in the soon coming of Christ. It was her desire that her funeral be made an occasion for setting forth the principles of truth concerning the state of the dead and immortality. A large number of friends listened to the discourse from Isa. 64:6. D. E. Scoles.

Coney.—Died near Fresno, Cal., May 6, 1905, James F. Coney. Brother Coney was born in 1817. During the greater part of his life he loved God and sought to obey him; and when, more than forty years ago, he heard the third angel’s message presented, he joyfully accepted it. When it was possible, he was always at the house of worship, and many hearts have been touched by his earnest testimonies. He was devoted to the cause of present truth, and cherished it above all else. He raised a large family, his posterity now numbering fully one hundred souls. The eighth of January he fell and broke his hip; he suffered much, but bore his affliction with marked patience. He was buried from our church in Fresno, May 7, 1905; text, 2 Tim. 4:7. H. G. Thompson.

Fredericksen.—Died at the home of her daughter, in Huron, S. D., May 11, 1905, of consumption, Sister Lena Fredericksen. The deceased was born Feb. 21, 1855; she was baptized and united with the Swan Lake church at the age of twenty-nine. She was the South Dakota State Sabbath-school secretary for a number of years; she also engaged in Bible work in South Dakota and Nebraska. One year ago last November she underwent a serious operation from which she never fully recovered. She leaves four children, two brothers, and one sister to mourn their loss. The remains were brought to Viborg, and laid to rest by the side of her mother. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Matthew 28. Will A. Baker.

Greater New York Camp-Meeting

By C. H. EDWARDS

It has been decided to hold a camp-meeting in connection with the Beacon Light Tent, corner 100th Street and Manhattan Avenue. The meetings will begin Tuesday, June 27, and continue till July 4. Although our lot is not very large, yet we can accommodate all who will care to camp on the grounds during the meetings.

This will not be a session of the conference, but will be a time of spiritual refreshing for all who may come.

We shall make the expenses as low as possible. A tent 12 x 16 feet, floored, with one single cot, will cost not over four dollars for the entire meeting. We have no bedding whatever, so each one should provide himself with all that he may need.

We shall not run a restaurant nor serve meals, but Brother E. W. Coates will be on the grounds with a large assortment of health foods, which he will supply to all who may care to purchase.

We greatly desire the attendance of all our brethren and sisters of Greater New York, as we believe the Lord has a rich blessing in store for them. This is the first camp-meeting held in this city by our people for a long time, so we expect a general rally. None can afford to miss this precious opportunity of drawing near to God. We have been promised some very efficient help from our leading brethren. All our conference workers will be present from the first, and we all look for a glorious refreshing.

Write to Brother E. H. Hall, 535 West 110th Street, as soon as you decide to rent a tent. Please do it soon, too.

C. H. EDWARDS, Pres.

Cumberland Camp-Meeting

By W. W. WILLIAMS

The Cumberland Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will hold their camp-meeting at Richmond, Ky., July 20-30, 1905. May God impress upon the minds of all our brethren and sisters in this part of the conference that it is for their good, and for the best interest of this meeting, that they be in attendance. Dear brethren and sisters, let us begin at once to make every preparation necessary that we may come to this meeting prepared to enjoy the feast of good things that is for us. The more interest our people have in these meetings, the more it tells to the world around that we believe what we teach. Not many more such meetings shall we be permitted to attend. The end is drawing near. All who wish tents should send in their orders at once.

W. W. WILLIAMS, President.

Address

THE address of the South African Union Conference is changed to Kenilworth, Cape Colony, South Africa. The headquarters of the Cape Colony Conference remains as heretofore; namely, 56 Roeland St., Cape Town, South Africa.

Religious Instruction and Sabbath Observance

THE demand for religious instruction in the public schools is being vigorously agitated in at least two of the States in Australia, and, therefore, as being pertinent to the situation in that country, the Australasian Signs of the Times reprints in a recent issue the whole of the protest made by the editor of the REVIEW against this movement before the interdenominational conference in this city last March. The principles set forth in the protest are sound for every country, and should be placed before the people wherever an effort is made to bring about a union of church and state by seeking to make the state an exponent of religion.

A RECENT issue of the Carolina Citizen, published at Cheraw, S. C., contains a well-written article, occupying a column and a half, by Elder E. W. Webster, with the title “Why the Adventists Observe the Seventh Day.” The reasons given cover the ground clearly, and the truth is thus presented to a class of readers who might not read it in any other way. This is a good example to imitate.

The Washington Work Fund

By Editor

THE recommendation of the General Conference that the effort to raise funds for the establishment of the work in Washington should be continued in order to provide a portion of the money required for the erection of a printing plant for the Review and Herald Publishing Association was fully presented in last week's REVIEW, by Elder A. G. Daniells. It is with great satisfaction that we announce this week that the stream of gifts is still flowing in, and that nearly one fourth of the surplus suggested is already in hand. Those who have been waiting to do something at the finish, or whose circumstances have been such that they have not been able up to this time to send a donation for the Washington work, will now have an opportunity to help in closing up this campaign quickly. Surely all the people will desire to have some share in co-operating with the divine purpose in establishing this work in Washington. Never have God's providences been clearer in connection with his work. Never have there been more marked indications of his direct leadership. All these experiences indicate the nearness of the end, and are a call of God to his people to faithful effort in hastening his work in the earth. The time has now come to provide a suitable place for printing our periodicals and books, and the erection of such a building will be undertaken at once. The strictest economy will be practised, and no provision will be made beyond the demands of our denominational work. It will strengthen the hands and increase the courage of those who are charged with the responsibility of carrying out the counsel of the spirit of prophecy in re-establishing the headquarters at this place to know that the whole people are sustaining them both by their prayers and by their gifts. A united and consecrated people, with earnest and devoted leaders, can be instrumental in accomplishing the divine will, and thus in hastening the coming of the Master's kingdom. So let it be.

The Midsummer Offering

REMEMBER to plan for the midsummer offering, which will be taken in all the churches in this country on Sabbath, July 1.

Eastern Pennsylvania Camp-Meeting

ELDER G. B. THOMPSON is attending the Eastern Pennsylvania camp-meeting this week. Elder A. G. Daniells joined him over last Sabbath and Sunday.

Greater New York Camp-Meeting Notice

THE believers in the Greater New York Conference should read the notice of the camp-meeting printed on the twenty-third page. The meeting will begin next Tuesday.

W. H. Williams Joins Oakwood

BROTHER W. H. WILLIAMS, who has been in the employ of the Review and Herald Association for a short time, has accepted an invitation to connect with the Oakwood Industrial School at Huntsville, Ala., and will enter upon his new duties about the first of July.

J. R. Scott Goes North

BROTHER J. R. SCOTT and his wife left Takoma Park last week, and have gone North for the Summer. Brother Scott has labored faithfully in the work of establishing the Washington Training College and the city Sanitarium, and we hope that he will return to take up his work again in the early autumn.

College Presidential Appointments

PROF. H. G. LUCAS, of Healdsburg College, has been chosen to take the presidency of Fernando (Cal.) College, in place of Elder C. Santee, who has been invited to act as president of the Texas Conference. Prof. J. L. Kay, of Walla Walla College, will be a member of the faculty of the same institution.

Bible Authority for Sunday Observance

In a recent letter to the Utica (N. Y.) Daily Press on the question of Bible authority for Sunday observance a Catholic priest says:—

The Rev. Mon Hughes, with all the followers of the “Reformation” who profess to follow their own private judgment, and the Bible (a vernacular translation, suiting notions of its meaning) as “the sole rule of faith,” can not show a single passage in which occurs “Thus saith the Lord” regarding Sunday, or the first day of the week, as a day of rest and worship. I have before me an appeal to the clergy of the United States, which is being sent broadcast over the country and signed by fourteen resident Seventh-day Adventist ministers of Washington, D. C., that the Sunday observance laws are all wrong and against the express letter and command of the Bible.

This reference to the “Open Letter,” of which nearly half a million copies have been circulated, suggests that copies of this leaflet have found their way into the hands of readers of all classes and beliefs, and that it is still proclaiming the truth concerning the Sabbath.

“The Great Second Advent Movement”

By Editor

In the editorial columns of this issue will be found a very full announcement by Elder Butler of this new forth-coming volume, “The Great Second Advent Movement.”

This book is not yet ready for delivery, but the publishers say in their printed announcements that it “will be off the press in about sixty days.”

Advance orders are solicited, and our people can send their orders to their State tract society or to the publishing house nearest them, as the book will, of course, be supplied through the regular channels.

Our Jubilee

WE are thankful to send out to the loyal friends of our work in Washington the good news that the Washington fund has passed the one-hundred-thousand-dollar mark. When it was first voted at the General Conference Council in October, 1903, that one hundred thousand dollars should be raised that a sanitarium, training-school, and General Conference office should be built in Washington, D. C., it seemed that a great task had been set before our people, but the response has been most remarkable. It exceeds anything in the history of this people. While the treasurer could not state, on May 30, the closing day of the General Conference, that the one hundred thousand dollars was actually in hand, yet, with what was on the way at that time and in the hands of tract society and conference treasurers, we have no question whatever that the one hundred thousand dollars in reality had been supplied by our people by the close of the conference, and the hope so often expressed that the amount might be raised by that time was actually realized. We can not suitably express in words our thanks to God, and to the givers of large and small donations for their liberal and prompt response to this appeal. Surely the blessing of Him who loves the cheerful giver will be realized by every one. Our published list this week is $99,320.39, but the treasurer states that donations in hand which have not been listed brought the total amount on June 15 to $103,054.20. We believe that the overflow on the One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund will soon provide the fifteen thousand dollars needed immediately by the Review and Herald for the purpose of erecting their publishing office in Takoma Park. Truly God is leading in this work, and his people are joyfully following him.

J. S. WASHBURN.
