“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.
WHITNACK.— Died at College View, Neb., July 27, 1900, Dora, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Whitnack, aged 18 years, 10 months, 28 days. In sickness, as in health, her trust was stayed on the Lord. M. E. Kern.
FERRETT.— Died at her home in Logan, Kan., Oct. 27, 1900, Sister Jane E. Ferrett, aged 55 years, 6 months, 15 days. Sister Ferrett accepted present truth about one year and a half ago, and since that time has lived a consistent Christian life. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15: 22, 23. T. Godfrey.
MORRISON.— Died at her home near Mount Union, Iowa, Sept. 24, 1900, Mary A. Morrison, aged 78 years, 2 months, 11 days. She accepted the truth about forty years ago. Mother was a consistent Christian and firm believer in the Third Angel’s Message, and died in the blessed hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the pastor of the Methodist church at that place. Esther A. Field.
GATES.— Died at Willet, N. Y., Aug. 10, 1900, of consumption, Alice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burdette Gates, aged 17 years. She gave her heart to God, and, with her mother, accepted present truth. Alice was very patient, and died with a bright hope of a part in the first resurrection. The funeral service was conducted by the pastor of the Methodist church. C. S. Coon.
WRIGHT.— Died at Walnut Ridge, Ark., Oct. 23, 1900, of nasal catarrh, our daughter, Julia Ann Wright, aged 8 years, 8 months, 20 days. She was an unusually bright child, and had expressed a desire to go forward in baptism and unite with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It is twenty miles to the nearest church, and we were preparing to take her. We believe she sleeps in Jesus. E. B. and Nora Wright.
KIMMEL.— Died in Canon City, Colo., Oct. 12, 1900, of consumption, Edward Kimmel, about 38 years of age. He was converted and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Canon City about two years ago. He died strong in the faith, looking for that blessed hope. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Brother L. A. Spring, in the Seventh-day Adventist church at Canon City. J. W. Anglebarger.
CONDĔRT.— Died at the hospital of the Iowa Soldiers’ Home, Nov. 3, 1900, Abraham Condert, aged 74 years. He was born in Switzerland, and came to this country in his youth. His connection with the Seventh-day Adventists dates back about twenty-five years. During his stay at the home he was a member of the Marshalltown church, who sorely feel their loss. He fell asleep in the hope of a soon-coming Saviour. J. H. Van Dever.
TENNEY.— Died of old age, Oct. 26, 1900, at Bricelyn, Minn., Alpheus Tenney, aged 89 years. For more than forty years he believed, loved, and obeyed the present truth. Two of the six children who survive him are well known throughout our ranks,—Elder G. C. Tenney, now in Australia, and Prof. J. E. Tenney, of Woodland (Wis.) Academy. The funeral was held in the Baptist church, conducted by the writer. Texts, Prov. 16: 31; Num. 23: 10; and Rev. 14: 13. W. A. Sweany.
GRAY.— Died in Hayes Township, Mich., Sept. 30, 1900, Sister Ida Gray, aged 22 years, 10 months. She was returning from college, and had attended the camp-meeting at Indiana, where she was baptized. She was preparing to teach a church school, but was taken suddenly with typhoid fever, and after a short illness of about ten days quietly breathed her last. It was a sad blow to her parents; but Ida loved the Lord and his truth, and we believe she sleeps in Jesus. Remarks at the funeral were made by the writer, from Gen. 42: 36. C. E. Leland.
OWEN.— Drowned, at Gull Lake, twelve miles northwest of Battle Creek, Sept. 20, 1900, Chester A. Owen, son of Elder and Sister R. S. Owen, who are now laboring in gospel work in Mississippi, and grandson of Elder A. C. Bourdeau. Chester was born at Burke, Vt., Oct. 11, 1880, and therefore lacked but a few days of being twenty years of age. He was a young man of more than ordinary ability, and was about to enter the medical missionary class in this city. He was converted at an early age. The large congregation present at his funeral were mourners, and deeply lamented his sad fate, being so suddenly called from a life which beamed bright with future usefulness. Brother and Sister Owen, although in bereavement because of their sad loss, have the blessed hope to sustain them that he who was so affectionate, kind, and obedient, and the light of their home, will soon live again; and father and mother, and remaining brother and sister, will be reunited, never to be separated again. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, in the Tabernacle at Battle Creek, Sabbath, September 29. S. E. Lane.

A BOON FOR THE CHILDREN.

Is your child learning to read? The first reader makes lasting impressions. What book do you place in your child's hands? You should give him—
“The Bible Reader No. 1.”

WHY?

Because he can learn to read the first lessons, although he has never read before.
Because it is a primer, the vocabulary of which will enable the child to read the Bible.
Because the subject-matter is Biblical, and from it the child will form the habit of looking upward.

There are many other reasons:—

It is an inspiration to parents and teachers.
It teaches spelling and composition, and leads the child to see God in nature.
Recommended by the book committee at the teachers' conference.

What others say of the “Bible Reader”:—

BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Nov. 1, 1900.
Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
DEAR BRETHREN: I have received a copy of “Bible Reader,” by Prof. E. A. Sutherland. I am exceedingly pleased with it. It is the best attempt of the sort I have ever seen,—Biblical and natural history facts interwoven in the most admirable way, and presented to the child so attractively as to compel his attention, and rivet them on his memory. The cheap twaddle of the average reader is enough to disgust and nauseate any healthy child, and I am glad to see such good, wholesome food for thought presented to the little ones. The work ought to meet with the greatest success. Very sincerely yours, J. H. KELLOGG, M. D.
BATTLE CREEK, MICH., Nov. 5, 1900.
Review and Herald Pub. Co., City.
DEAR BRETHREN: We have carefully read the new “Bible Reader,” by Prof. E. A. Sutherland. It is an excellent work, weaving the Bible story and the light given in the Spirit of Prophecy together in an interesting manner. Mothers will find it a valuable help in the home. It will prove a blessing in the schoolroom. It gives a vocabulary which, when mastered by the child, will enable him to read the Bible at an early age, and fill his mind with Bible truth.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING.

BOOKS ARE THE MOST APPROPRIATE HOLIDAY GIFTS

For old and young. A child of five enjoys a book as much as the philosopher or the sage.
Some of our appropriate holiday books:
“STEPS TO CHRIST,” by Mrs. E. G. White, is a reasonable book to present to a friend at any time. This book has done, and is doing, a grand work. It speaks volumes of cheer to the discouraged; reclaims the backslidden; is a guide to the young convert, and a counselor and comforter to the aged. It is an excellent work to put into the hands of an unconverted friend.
Bound in fine cloth, with cover design embossed in aluminum.....$ .50 Presentation edition, fancy covers and gilt edges.................. .25 Paper covers...................................................... .25 Can be had also in Danish, Swedish, German, Holland, Spanish, and Portuguese languages, at.................................. .60 Also French, Bohemian, Polish, Italian, Roumanian, Welsh, and Hungarian, at.................................................. .75
“THOUGHTS FROM THE MOUNT OF BLESSING,” by the same author, is a companion volume to “Steps to Christ,” and makes a most appropriate little holiday gift. It treats the sermon on the mount in such a way that the reader could easily imagine that he was transported to the mountain side, and listening to the wonderful lessons from the lips of Him who spake as never man spake.
“Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing” contains 209 pages, 15 original half-tone illustrations, printed on enamel paper.
Bound in cloth, embossed in gold.................................$ .75 Bound in half-cloth, marbled edges................................. 1.00
“GOOD FORM AND CHRISTIAN ETIQUETTE,” by the late Mrs. S. M. I. Henry, twenty-five years National Evangelist of the W. C. T. U., is a practical book for old and young. A Christian who conducts himself in an impolite manner, breaking the rules of accepted propriety and courtesy, weakens his influence, and with great difficulty can he lead a soul to Christ. “Good Form and Christian Etiquette” will help one to overcome these difficulties. It is a book which should be in every home in the land.
Bound in cloth....................................................$ .50 Bound in paper..................................................... .25
“BEST STORIES FROM THE BEST BOOK,” by J. E. White, contains 50 pages of “Easy Lessons” for the very little ones.
The old, old stories are ever new. They grow more precious with each repetition. Instill into the minds of your children, when they are young, a love for the Bible, by getting them a book which tells the Bible stories in so simple language that they can easily understand them.
“Best Stories” is a beautiful book, pleasing to the eye of a child. It is profusely illustrated with fine pictures, and is a book of which the children will never tire.
Heavy paper, cloth back covers.................................$ .75 Heavy paper, board covers......................................... .50 Thin paper edition, limp paper covers............................. .25
“MAKING HOME HAPPY,” by Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle, tells the story of how a once unhappy home was made happy. The remedy is warranted to work in any climate, under any condition, and if directions are strictly followed, will endure for life and eternity. The book is written in story form; pleasing and entertaining to old and young.
Cloth, cover design in three colors..............................$ .50 Paper covers, same design......................................... .25
THIS BOOK HAS HAD A SALE OF 50,000 COPIES.
“Easy Steps in the Bible Story,” by Miss Adelaide Bee Cooper, editor of Youth’s Instructor, is without question one of the finest books for children ever published. The author’s long experience in writing for children enables her to tell the early Bible stories in such a captivating manner as to make lasting impressions upon the young and growing minds.
Illustrated with 15 full-page engravings, and more than 150 pen-drawings. Beautiful cover design. In two styles of binding.
Price, in cloth..................................................$ .50 Price, in paper................................................... .25
2,500 copies shipped in seven days.
These are but a few of the choice books we have which are appropriate for Christmas presents. Your name and address on a postal card will bring you our complete catalogue.

Pacific Health Journal November Issue

THE Pacific Health Journal (St. Helena, Cal.) for November is an educational number; and is full of matter well worth reading.

Harvard Divinity School Enrollment

The Divinity School of Harvard University this year has twenty-five students. Last year it had twenty-seven. The school has a faculty of fourteen members.

Standing Army Increased

THE national government is arranging to increase the standing army to one hundred thousand men. Since election no smaller number is mentioned; and even one hundred and six thousand is seriously proposed.

American Military Force in the Philippines

The military commander in the Philippines, in his official report to the government at Washington, says: “For many years to come the necessity of a large American military and naval force is too apparent to admit of discussion.”

Catholic Federation Meeting

The regularly appointed meeting preliminary to Catholic federation in the United States is to be held November 29, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York City. The Catholic Mirror says that “it will be a great demonstration.”

Archbishop Chapelle’s Congratulations

The Springfield Republican publishes the following important information: “Archbishop Chapelle cables from Manila to Governor Roosevelt—and doubtless a similar telegram has gone to the White House: ‘Congratulations. Have worked for this splendid result.’” And to this the Republican adds the altogether pertinent inquiry, “And what for?”

And both together write thus:—

Two middle-aged ladies spent a month at Battle Creek College this school year. One expresses herself thus:—
I never spent so satisfactory a month; nor in all my life have I gained so much in a month to prepare me for the work I long to do. I am homesick to be back again:—

And both together write thus:—

We are thankful beyond words that God has called us into the church of his remnant seed; but the students of the college of the remnant seed are one big step ahead of us in privilege. We would not ask a greater privilege than to have the same opportunities they have. Those precious God-given days of opportunity will never come back again, and the time is short.
There are hundreds of young men and young women who are literally throwing away these opportunities; for they could be there and are not. Be sure to use the opportunity while it is for you.

McKinley’s Inauguration Plans

The Washington correspondent of the Boston Globe says that such plans are already being laid for the inauguration ceremonies, March 4, that “the prevailing sentiment is that the celebration will eclipse anything of the kind before known.” This correspondent calls it “the second ‘coronation’ of William McKinley.”

TWO WEEKS FROM TO-DAY,

By Editor

in the REVIEW of December 4, we shall begin a series of eight articles on the subject of

THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES.

This is one of the most important subjects of the Bible, especially for all people just now; and these articles are of the best that have ever been written on that subject.
These eight articles will just cover the time of a two months’ subscription to the REVIEW—25 cents. Has not each reader of the REVIEW AND HERALD a neighbor or a friend whom he would like to have know that the Seven Last Plagues will soon fall, what those plagues will be when they fall, and upon whom they will fall? Will each reader not show enough interest in his neighbor or friend to ask him to invest twenty-five cents for the REVIEW these two months, or to himself invest twenty-five cents in his behalf, that he may know what is coming, and escape? Please send in the subscriptions at once, so that we may not have to reprint the first article or two. Thus to invest twenty-five cents will be the best possible missionary work, and the most, that can be done for so little money.

The Philippine Question

The treaty of Paris, which is the supreme law of the land with respect to the Philippines, committed to Congress the government of those islands. But nearly two years have passed under that treaty, while Congress has done nothing in that direction; and now it is given out from the administration at Washington that “in the Philippines it is the administration plan to institute local self-government as rapidly as possible, and to restore order with a rigid military hand. No one expects the Philippine question to come before Congress in any practical way at this session.” When both Congress and the administration ignore or disregard the supreme law of the land, how can anything be expected other than that lawlessness in general shall fill the whole land?

Help Recover Elder Lamson’s Scrapbook

IN one of his last trips to Indiana, while working in that Conference, Elder D. H. Lamson carried with him a scrapbook containing many of his poems, there being some unpublished ones. The book was left by accident, probably at the home of some of the brethren. It will furnish much joy to the members of his family if this book can be recovered. Will any one to whom these lines shall come who knows anything of the desired book please correspond with Mrs. D. H. Lamson, 29 University Ave., Battle Creek, Mich.?

THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS.

By P. T. MAGAN

THE new book, “Christ’s Object Lessons,” is being sold by the hundreds and thousands. Everywhere the people are responding to the call, and are taking hold to bring about THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS. This is right, and as the Lord wishes it. And now it is more necessary than ever that we have FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS right away, with which to pay for the material used in the construction of these books. God is touching hearts, and they are responding to our plea.
We confidently expect hundreds of dollars this week. It must come, or the work will be delayed. Send all remittances to the treasurer of the General Conference Association, Battle Creek, Mich. P. T. MAGAN.

Teachers’ Conference Bulletin.

It will be remembered that a conference of teachers was held in Battle Creek last summer. The proceedings of that conference are now published in the “Teachers’ Conference Bulletin,” a neat pamphlet of 229 pages. In it, the whole ground of Christian education is well covered, especially as relates to Church Schools, Preparatory Schools, and Teaching. It is not a lot of printed theories on these subjects: it is published experience, and will therefore be helpful to every parent and teacher in the land. Be sure to get it. The price is only fifty cents. Address Training School Advocate, Battle Creek, Mich.

Enthusiasm for My Mother’s Life

By Editor

In sending for four copies of the “Life” of Sister Henry—“My Mother’s Life”—a lady wrote: “I have sold three books without any sample copy, because I am such an enthusiast over the subject that I can talk the book up any way.” To be enthusiastic is literally to be “filled” with a subject, so that it becomes fairly an inspiration. For anyone to be so filled with that book, “My Mother’s Life,” can never do any harm. We only wish all the women of the Woman’s Gospel Work company were so filled with it, both for their own sake and for the sake of their work, and also for the sake of the book. And when one woman can do so well without any sample copy, what should not the many others do with their sample copies?

Christian Home Sought for Twins

WANTED, AT ONCE.—A good Christian home for a pair of twins, a girl and a boy, about ten months old. They are in good health, and are desirable in every respect. A home is desired where they can be kept together. For further particulars, address Medical Missionary, Relief Department, Battle Creek, Mich.
