The Good Cheer, or Don’t Worry Number

A VERY appropriate number at this season, when so many persons think “the melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year.”

The two leading themes this month are joy and peace for the adult, and proper play for the child. Dr. A. B. Sperry’s article, “Fear as a Cause of Disease; and Faith as a Therapeutic Agent,” shows how a hopeful, trusting spirit tends wonderfully to maintain health. The leading article on the question of play, by Henry S. Curtis, the secretary of the Playground Association of America, gives an account of the opening of playgrounds in the various cities of America, and points out the good results that have already come from them.

Under this heading a double page, illustrated parable graphically presents in verse the folly of spending vast sums of money to alleviate the suffering caused by intemperance, while nothing is done to prevent the trouble at its source—the saloon.

is begun in this number by George E. Cornforth. In a fascinating manner are presented some of the principles of healthful cookery as related to the vital processes of digestion. Plain instruction is given for cooking starchy foods of several common varieties in a manner to produce uncommon results.

Helpful instruction in the management of the home is given in the department for mothers. “It is such a nice thing to deal with human minds, to mold and not mar, that we need to study and pray much, and guard against overdoing as carefully as underdoing our work.”

It contains much of importance on such questions as Mussels and Typhoid Fever; The Cigarette Habit Increasing; School Hygiene; Tuberculosis From Cattle; New and Dangerous Form of Stimulation; Art and Phonograph Used for Instruction in the Prevention of Tuberculosis; Food Preservatives, etc.

One agent in Massachusetts writes: “In four hours I sold the fifty copies of Life and Health you sent me.”

Another from Georgia writes, after selling 500 copies of the October issue, and ordering 300 more: “I have no big thing to write, but the work with the periodicals is going forward.”

A young lady handling Life and Health in Minnesota, in thirty-two hours sold 305 copies. This shows what may be done by persons who put energy into this work.

The largest order of the October number, for one individual to sell, was 1750 copies.

Single copy, 10 cents; 2 to 25 copies, 5 cents a copy; 25 to 500 copies, 4 cents a copy. Special rates on orders of 500 or more copies. The regular subscription price is 75 cents. Ten or more copies, one year, to one address, one order, 45 cents a copy. Foreign subscriptions, including Canada, $1 a year.

Political and Other Promises

By William Ambrose Spicer

Editorial

IT is possible to be very busy in connection with the work of God without actually winning any souls unto salvation. A certain amount of administrative work is necessary, but the energies of every representative of the truth should be principally directed toward the one great object of turning men “from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God.” It is in this way that souls are brought to a knowledge of the truth, and adherents are won to the cause of the great Leader.

Political and Other Promises

DURING the past few weeks, representatives of various political parties have been traveling up and down the country filling the ears of the people with promises of what they would do in case they should be elected to the highest office in the gift of the nation. Years of experience have shown that in most cases the chief purpose of these promises is to secure votes, and that there is a wide difference between the promise and the fulfilment. Although this same program has been oft repeated, yet in the minds of many people there seems to linger a feeling that there is some virtue in making good promises, even though they are never fulfilled.

In the same class with these political promises are the promises which some persons of good intentions are constantly making in the line of reform. A long array of unfulfilled promises already made does not seem to deter them from repeating similar pledges, until it would sometimes appear that a considerable degree of merit is attached to the making of a promise, and pledging is substituted for performing.

The Saviour made it clear that not those who say, “Lord, Lord,” but those who do the will of God will find an entrance into the kingdom. Provision has been made for meeting this requirement, not through the weak and worthless promises of helpless humanity, but through the “exceeding great and precious promises” of Him concerning whom Abraham was “fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”

A distinction should be made between pledging loyalty to fundamental principles, with a sense of dependence upon divine enlightenment for an understanding of the application of these principles and a realization of the constant need of divine power in order to reveal these principles in daily conduct, and multiplying promises concerning the petty details of human experience. The former is consistent with a spirit of freedom; the latter may become a yoke of bondage, or may foster a sense of self-righteousness.

Maintaining the Standard

THERE is a strong drift toward moral degeneracy. The old-time standards in commercial and social life have been appreciably lowered. The same evil influence is working to blunt the consciences of people and to bring about the adoption of a less high ideal in the Christian life. Such a course of conduct as would have met with an unqualified disapproval a quarter of a century ago, is now tolerated by the majority, and approved of by many. There needs to be a great quickening of the public conscience.

What is thus true in general may have a particular application among Seventh-day Adventists. In the earlier days of this movement there was manifested a consistent purpose to avoid conformity to the world, and to accept the plain instruction of the Scriptures as the actual standard in daily life. This was manifested not only in a conscientious carefulness in the observance of the Sabbath, but also in the matter of eating, drinking, and dressing. It is a serious question whether there has not been a tendency in later years to drift away from the old standard, and to accommodate more to the worldly ideals and practises. This is the natural tendency in all

reform movements, and only a spirit of watchfulness and devotion will save this movement from the same fate. All the old-time vigor of the spirit of reform should be maintained.

The Only Remedy

IT is an easy matter for the representatives of the rival political parties to call the attention of the people to the inequality in the distribution of wealth, to the oppression of the poor, to the industrial distress which has prevailed for a year or more, to the increase in the cost of living without a corresponding increase in wages, and to other evils which are prevalent. Of course each leader claims that the hope for the betterment of these conditions lies with the party which he represents; but it ought to be apparent to the unprejudiced observer that it is beyond the power of any political organization to grapple with the difficulties of the situation, and to heal the diseases of the body politic.

The present order of things is the result of causes which have been working for a long time, and no mere transfer of power to another political party or the adoption of new political policies will cure the present evils. These are the perilous times, which, according to the statement of the Scriptures, are immediately to precede the second advent of Christ. The rejection of the heaven-sent message, and the substitution of a merely human philosophy in place of revealed religion, are having their inevitable effect; and the refusal to submit to the authority of God is bearing fruit in a spirit of lawlessness and a flagrant disregard of properly constituted civil authority. The proof of this is found in the rapid increase of crime, and in the growing disregard for the rights of life and property.

There will be no general change for the better. Judgments will follow the rejection of offered mercy, and the only remedy for the present situation will be the coming of the Lord, and the setting up of his everlasting kingdom. The proclamation of the gospel message in preparation for this event holds out the only hope to individuals who may thus escape the impending ruin. The giving of the third angel’s message is, therefore, the most important work that can occupy our attention. Those who believe its warning and accept its instruction will be prepared for the things that are coming upon this world.

A Sad Loss

IN a note written while crossing the Pacific, Dr. R. Russell, our first medical missionary to Korea, says:—

There are thirty-seven missionaries on board, and only three of them believe in Christ’s soon coming.

Possibly this fairly represents the general missionary attitude. It is a sad loss to the missionary movement. The missionary development in these times is itself a sign of the approaching end. And the brightest sign within that missionary development is the rise of the advent movement with the clear message of the Lord’s soon coming.

The Personal Saviour

By W. A. S.

WE get acquainted with him just as we become acquainted with any earthly friend. We talk with him in prayer; he talks to us in his Word. And knowing him is the secret of constancy and courage. Paul was “always of good courage,” as the Revision puts it in 2 Cor. 5:6, because he could say, “I know whom I have believed.”

Devotion to Jesus, as a daily Saviour, is the one thing that will keep the soul fresh and the courage invincible.

In the heart of Africa, with no human companionship that could understand, with fever scorching his life, and the knowledge that most of the results of his labors would appear only after he was gone, Livingstone found the courage for holding on in the renewed surrender of his heart to Jesus. So he wrote in his diary:—

My Jesus, my king, my life, my all! I again dedicate my whole soul to thee.

Of the early days in the cannibal island of Tanna, in the New Hebrides, the missionary Paton wrote:—

Without that abiding consciousness of the presence and power of my dear Lord and Saviour, nothing else in all the world could have preserved me from losing my reason and perishing miserably. His words, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world,” became to me so real that it would not have startled me to behold him, as Stephen did, gazing down upon the scene. I felt his supporting power, as did Paul, when he cried, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” It is the sober truth, and it comes back to me sweetly after twenty years, that I had my nearest and dearest glimpses of the face and smile of my blessed Lord in those dread moments when musket, club, or spear was being leveled at my life. O the bliss of living and enduring, as seeing “him who is invisible”!

It is the same everywhere and always; and just as apostle or prophet, martyr or missionary, found it, so may the lowliest believer know the experience. Come what may, there is victory in knowing that Jesus Christ is ours in self-surrender.

“Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed his own blood for my soul.”

This is an old story, this talk of the loving allegiance of the heart to the Lord Jesus, but we shall never get beyond it. Loyalty to the cause is not enough. We must know Jesus. It will keep us from getting discouraged. It will keep the heart from getting crusty and withered. It will bring overcoming and keeping power into the life; for overcoming and keeping power is nothing else than the companionship of Jesus Christ by his Holy Spirit. W. A. S.

The Rise and Fall of Religious Liberty in America

By C. M. S.

The Campaign of Retrogression

The doctrine of religious liberty—germinant in the Declaration of Independence and plainly outspoken in the national Constitution and State constitutions—was never agreeable to a portion of the people. Madison plainly declares that the struggle for the recognition of that principle at the birth of our nation was one of the greatest struggles in which he was ever engaged. It was not to be expected that the opponents of that principle would sink back confounded and overwhelmed, admit the finality of their defeat, and join with the victorious party to make a success of a work they had done their best to overthrow, and to promulgate a principle they had condemned and trampled upon. Neither did they.

Men reckoned among the ablest religious leaders of the times stood uncompromisingly opposed to the principle of soul freedom and the separation of religion and the state. The nation hewed from the woods of the New World must, to meet their desires, bear the sword not only against foreign foes, but against “heretical opinions,” and against all religions save the religion of the party in power. And not only this, but the government must tax the general public to promulgate the favored faith.

Since the days of Jonathan Edwards this un-American idea has not lacked able exponents, the most insistent of whom have been members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. These have been so outspoken in their denunciation of our country’s attitude toward the freedom of men in matters of religion, that, to be consistent with themselves, they have felt it to be a moral duty to refrain from voting, and urge upon their followers so to do, until such time as this nation should recognize Jesus Christ as its king. A minister of that denomination, who is a leader in the organization that is devoting its best energies to “reforming” the nation in this particular, told the writer that he could not conscientiously cast a vote in this country so long as the Constitution continues to read as it does. Thus the attitude of those men who opposed Madison, Washington, and Jefferson when the nation was being founded, is perpetuated in our day in the attitude of that organization and its leaders.

In the year 1864 the opposition to our nation’s position in this matter took organized form. In that year the National Reform Association came into being, and began a systematic agitation for the accomplishment of its purposes. Those purposes are set forth in the following excerpts from the preamble to that organization’s constitution, and in Article II of the same document, which read:—

Believing that a written Constitution ought to contain explicit evidence of the Christian character and purpose of the nation which frames it, and perceiving that the silence of the Constitution of the United States in this respect is used as an argument against all that is Christian in the usage and administration of our government,—

We, citizens of the United States, do associate ourselves under the following articles, and pledge ourselves to God and to one another, to labor, through wise and lawful means, for the ends herein set forth. . . .

ARTICLE II. The objects of this society shall be to maintain existing Christian features in the American government; to promote needed reforms in the action of the government touching the Sabbath, the institution of the family, the religious element in education, the oath, and public morality, as affected by the liquor traffic and other kindred evils; and to secure such an amendment to the Constitution of the United States as will declare the nation’s allegiance to Jesus Christ, and its acceptance of the moral laws of the Christian religion, and to indicate that this is a Christian nation, and place all the Christian laws, institutions, and usages of our government on an undeniably legal basis in the fundamental law of the land.

This meant, in case of its adoption by the nation, a complete revocation of the principles upon which the nation was founded. It was a blow at the very foundation pillars of the national structure. In short, it was a declaration of war, not against the people, but against the government itself, not for the acquisition of its territory, but for the complete obliteration of its identity, the transformation of its character, the annihilation of its principles and purposes. Where had stood the principle of the separation of church and state, they would put the principle of a union of religion and the state, or church and state, which is its equivalent. Where the nation had refused to require a religious test as a qualification for any office or public trust, they would place

the religious test as the chief test. Where the nation refuses to permit the taxation of the general public for the promulgation of any religion, they would place the opposing principle requiring the teaching of religion at state expense. Where the nation establishes the equality of all its citizens without respect to their religion, they would establish the superiority of the religious citizen above the non-religious citizen, by requiring the non-religious citizen to yield a certain amount of homage to religious practises in which he has no faith. Where the nation has refused to make any laws enforcing any religious ordinances, they would require the enactment of laws penalizing honest labor on a day which this transformed nation should select as a sabbath, thus making liberty in the matter of religious belief and practise a thing of the past, outlawing conscience, making of religion a legal formalism, and instituting again the religious tyranny of the Dark Ages.

In view of what the Reformation did in bringing men in the darkness and misery of soul bondage into the light, and in view of the further step and the fuller accomplishment in this country in freeing the conscience from the penalties of law, the success of that disintegrating propaganda is nothing short of a marvel. That men should consider for a moment the proposition to exchange soul freedom for the tyrannical heritage of an age of persecution and soul thralldom must cause even the prince of darkness to wonder. But so reads the prophecy, and the prophecy is fast fulfilling.

Are You Ready?

By Arthur G. Daniells

THANKSGIVING missionary campaign week is almost here. It will open November 22, and close the twenty-eighth. Much has been said and written about it; great preparations have been made for it, and large results are expected from it.

The REVIEW for Thanksgiving week will contain thirty-two pages, and will be devoted entirely to our foreign missionary endeavors. It will contain nearly one hundred fifty illustrations. Four hundred thousand copies have been ordered. Two presses are now running day and night, six days in the week, to get this large edition out in time for the campaign.

In a few days the railway trains will begin carrying this special to all parts of the United States. And then the campaign will open. As its opening approaches, every earnest believer in this message must begin to feel very anxious about it, and to wonder how it will close.

The possibilities of that week are great. First, it will be possible for us to place in the hands of our neighbors nearly half a million copies of the fullest public statement we have ever made about our world-wide missionary endeavors. These will doubtless be read by at least two million people. This alone, if nothing more were accomplished, would justify the effort planned.

But more is aimed at. It will be possible to obtain from those who receive the papers at least a quarter of a million dollars to aid in carrying forward our missionary enterprises.

Surely such great possibilities should appeal to every loyal believer in this cause. This money is sorely needed. It must be secured if we do our duty in proclaiming this message in foreign lands. Thus far we have endeavored to carry the financial burden of this world-wide effort without appealing to the public. But now that we have entered nearly all the dark heathen lands of the world, we find the demands too great for our resources. We believe that these demands rest upon all who have received so many blessings from the Lord. It is only right that they should devote a portion of what he has given them to the extension of his work. And they will do so if rightly solicited.

O, may a great awakening come to all our dear people just now! The hour for earnest, prayerful effort is almost here. Who will be wise enough to improve this opportunity, and share in reaping as great results as possible?

Brother, sister, if you have made no decision up to this moment to take an active part in this great campaign, decide right here and now to do so, and arrange at once for a supply of papers. Go to your church officers, or send to the conference office, or to the Review and Herald, for all the copies you are determined to use in this effort.

The Danish-Norwegians and the Special Issue of the Review

By L. H. Christian

For several years in the past we have printed a special number each autumn of our Danish-Norwegian paper, the Sendebud. We have sold thousands and thousands of these, and they have been a great spiritual blessing to many readers.

We expect to publish such special numbers again—it is possible that we shall get one out later this winter. However, we shall not issue one this fall, for the reason that, as most of you know, the General Conference has made arrangements for a special number of the REVIEW AND HERALD. It is to be a Thanksgiving edition. The plan is not to sell this paper, but to give it away free to all, with a word of explanation about our world-wide mission work in foreign fields, and with the request that those who receive the paper give us something for foreign missions. I need not enter into a more detailed explanation of the plan.

Very many of the Danish-Norwegian Adventists take the REVIEW and prize it highly, and we have thought that these brethren would wish to have a share in this great mission crusade with this paper. It is because we wish you to feel free to do this, that we print no special number of the Sendebud this fall. We know that if we issued a special Sendebud, many of you would work for its circulation, and thus be deprived of assisting the foreign work through this special REVIEW.

We Adventists are of many nations and yet one nation in the Lord. We are all in a peculiar sense interested in God's cause in “the regions beyond.” The Danish-Norwegian Adventists have given liberally to the foreign fields. Let us all now unite in a steady, strong effort to use this special number of the REVIEW. Let each one be inspired by a divine enthusiasm. Why can we not circulate twice as many of this REVIEW as we ever did of a special Sendebud?

I would earnestly ask our Danish-Norwegian brethren in the Eastern States, in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington, and Canada, as well as those in other States where we are fewer in number, to do their utmost for this special REVIEW.

L. H. CHRISTIAN.

[The facts stated in this article apply, so far as we know, to the Swedish brethren and to Sion's Vaktare, and for the same reasons as herein given there will be no special issue of that paper.—ED.]

Note and Comment

The Impending Peril

In the minds of many thinking men there is a feeling of unrest and of apprehension concerning the future. Some look for trouble arising from one reason, others from another, but all seem to agree in expecting trouble. One of our exchanges puts it this way:—

A few years ago we said that civilization could never again be imperiled by an eruption like that of the Goths and Vandals and other conquering tribes; but civilization is not yet so solidly established that it may not be imperiled by the uprising of seven or eight hundred millions of people who are getting the weapons and practical arts of civilization without its higher ideals.

We look for the cause of the trouble nearer home. There is no power in civilization, in itself, to restrain the forces of evil when the majority of the members of society have lost the power to control themselves. Roman civilization,

although brought to the highest degree of perfection, could not save the Roman state when the Romans themselves became corrupt. The peril of the present hour is not so much the peril of heathenism as the peril of apostate Christianity.

Religion and Politics

By Editor

In following out their advocacy of so-called civic righteousness, some professedly religious papers attempt to discuss the moral issues in the various political platforms, and then cast their influence in favor of that party which makes the most alluring promises in the line of such moral reforms. This leads one prominent journal to remark:—

“Religion and the modern brand of “practical” politics won’t mix well. Attempts to amalgamate the two have wrecked many a promising pulpit, and any religious paper which tries it, except on rare and imperative occasions, is hunting trouble.

We believe a correct principle is here stated, but we would not make an exception even in favor of “rare and imperative occasions.” We find abundant reason for this in the same editorial from which this paragraph is quoted, which speaks of “the average campaign, with its mud-throwing, its wire-pulling, its unblushing mendacities, and with its thousand other discordant accompaniments.” We have no record that Jesus made any attempt to control the political movements of his time in order to bring about a better state of things. Ministers who preach political sermons and do campaign work in behalf of political candidates, have ceased to be preachers of the gospel, and have become partisan politicians. Those who expect the kingdom of Christ to come through the gateway of politics may be consistent in thus trying to open the gate; but those who accept the plain statement of Jesus, “My kingdom is not of this world,” will not be trapped by any such political philosophy. The gospel of the kingdom, as Jesus preached it, is the theme both for the pulpit and for the religious paper.

Preparing to Clasp Hands

THE Reformation of the sixteenth century and the separation from the Roman Catholic Church which then occurred were the outcome of a protest against the teachings of the Roman Church. These teachings have not changed, but there has been a tendency in recent years to yield the ground which was gained at such a cost, and to close the breach between Protestantism and Catholicism. The probable outcome is clearly discerned, and as clearly stated, in the following paragraph from a recent editorial in the Independent (N. Y.):—

There are two great religious forces in this country, the one the Protestant churches, and the other the Catholic Church. Of these the former is the larger, and we may say the more aggressive the world over. But the two are less mutually hostile than they were. Protestants forget to protest; Catholics know that they are not the total Christian church. The two agree more than they differ. They will come closer together. Already they tolerate each other; by and by they will recognize and affiliate in good work, as now Presbyterians and Methodists do.

For years we have expected that Protestantism and Catholicism would join hands and make common cause against the special message of truth for this generation, and the evidence is not lacking that that time is not far distant.

Recognizing Danger

THE rapid increase in the number of adherents to Socialism is causing comment in various quarters. That the advocates of Socialism are winning converts even from the Roman Catholic Church, is acknowledged in the following paragraph, taken from a Roman Catholic paper:—

There is danger ahead, and it must be prepared for in time. The age in which we live is pre-eminently one of isms, and every ism has its journal of propaganda. Socialism is becoming singularly effective in its appeal to Catholics. Its American advocates are strikingly adroit in concealing its darker phases from the public at large, and many of our people quaff its insidious poison until they become the severest critics of the church who was once their mother, and finally are found preferring the ism to the truth.

The luxury of the rich and the poverty and distress of the poor are forcing many to seek for a remedy in some new political philosophy. The disease is too deep-seated, however, to be cured by any human remedy. Human hearts must be changed before the oppression of the weak and the poor will cease.

Reforming the World

IN a recent address in Boston, Dr. W. F. Crafts said:—

I believe that we shall see President Roosevelt as president of the world, and that there will be a Hague government with a legislative and executive department.

Catholics Demanding Offices

In an address at St. Louis last week, Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul is reported as saying that the Catholics of the United States should be more largely represented in the holding of public offices. To quote a portion of his remarks:—

There are now seventeen million Catholics in this country, and they are not represented in its great offices as they should be.

When the principle is adopted that the political offices should be divided among the adherents of the various denominations in proportion to their numbers, a long step will have been taken toward a union of church and state. Toward this consummation there seems to be an inevitable trend.

The Law of Work

THE advocates of laws requiring suspension of work on the first day of the week often make the claim that this is no interference with the rights of those who observe the seventh day of the week, as they are still permitted to devote that day to rest and worship, and are simply required to refrain from labor on the day set apart by the majority for religious purposes. A very good answer to this argument is made by Dr. W. F. Crafts, who is himself an earnest worker in behalf of Sunday laws. In the notes on the Sunday-school lesson for July 7, Dr. Crafts thus comments upon the fourth commandment:—

I see no escape without disloyalty to God and man and our own selves from the law that every whole man or woman should work regularly six days a week at some regular manual or mental task.

How strange that almost everybody thinks of the fourth commandment as requiring only a weekly suspension of its labor, as if it were a law of the one day, when it is on its face a law for the whole seven days of each week, requiring work on six as plainly as it requires rest on the other.

We invite Dr. Crafts to urge this argument the next time he appears before a legislative committee demanding such laws as would require observers of the seventh day to refrain from labor on another day also.

The Spirit of Violence

OCCASIONALLY the real spirit of Catholicism reveals itself. An instance of this is found in the comment, in a Roman Catholic paper, on the successful effort of John Kensit and his followers to prevent the host from being carried in the parade in connection with the Eucharistic congress in London, and Kensit’s threat that if the host had been carried, he would have dashed it to the ground. Note this statement:—

Possibly it was well for Kensit that the host was not carried in the great procession. Surely, amid the millions of Catholics that day in London, there were some who would have avenged such frightful indignity to Christ.

Thus does a paper professing to represent the religion of Christ, countenance mob violence as a proper answer to any interference with a religious ceremonial. How contrary to the example of Christ himself!

The Word of God

By Mary Valliant Nowlin

MARY VALLIANT NOWLIN

The Word of God brings holy cheer, When sorrow broods with black wing down; When overhead, and far and near, We seem to feel Jehovah’s frown. When in the darkness we would give A world to feel a friendly hand; When life itself seems vain to live— The why we can not understand.

Defeated and undone, we bow, Crushed by the tempter, and alone, With none to soothe the aching brow, When night is come, and day has gone. Ah! then it is Gethsemane Has meaning all unknown before— The bitter cry of agony, The drops of blood His temples bore.

In such an hour God’s Word reveals A hope more dear, a joy more free, And o’er our broken spirit steals A balm from far-off Galilee. It binds the trembling cords that break From heart throbs full of weariness; And then we hear, while hopes awake, The rustle of His seamless dress.

O precious Word! fain would I know More of thy meaning pure and deep, That in Christ’s likeness I may grow, And all my ways from sinning keep. O may that Word forever be My lamp, my guide on life’s dark way, Until upon the crystal sea I stand in God’s eternal day.
