By J. N. Loughborough
Second Advent Movement, The Great. By J. N. Loughborough. A late revision of the old book "Rise and Progress of Seventh-day Adventists." Cloth, $1.50. Address this office.
This book forms a most interesting and instructive narrative on the subject indicated by its title. Commencing with the early experiences of the Advent movement of 1843 and 1844, the writer, who has been actively engaged in proclaiming the doctrine since 1849, here presents a graphic account of the struggles and difficulties thru which the pioneers were safely carried by their unwavering faith in God and their unfaltering loyalty to the cause they had espoused. Due attention has been given to those agencies which, in the providence of God, have aided in building up and preserving the work represented by this people. Illustrated, 480 pages. Cloth, $1.50.
Nobody Knows but Mother
Nobody knows of the work it makes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the steps it takes,
Nobody knows—but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes
Which kisses only smother;
Nobody's pained by naughty blows,
Nobody—only mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother;
Nobody knows of the tender prayer,
Nobody—only mother.
Nobody knows of the lessons taught
Of loving one another;
Nobody knows of the patience long,
Nobody knows but mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears
Lest darlings may not weather
The storms of life in after years,
Nobody knows—but mother.
Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the heavenly Father
For that sweetest gift, a mother's love;
Nobody can—but mother.

Hang Your Cap in Its Place.
By Emma Hildreth Adams
By Emma Hildreth Adams.
ONE of the most necessary, most important, best-paying lessons the millions of actors on the earth to-day can learn is to do things with attention, to rivet the mind for the moment, year, or lifetime upon the action, proposition, or undertaking in hand.
The deed may be the threading of a needle, the teaching a mighty truth, the lighting a gasoline stove, the starting a monster steamship across the Pacific, the loosing a fleet of balloons for a contesting trip thru the atmosphere.
Think a moment! Grasp the impressive, startling fact that the lack of this single effective element in doing things often causes weighty flaws and purposes to miscarry; dashes to the ground hosts of long-cherished hopes; wipes out expectations on which life, almost, may depend, and to multitudes of hearts brings sorrow, disappointment, pain, and grief.
And must this shadow-casting laxity always exist? Is there no remedy? Must heedlessness, inaccuracy, lapse of attention, find place daily over all the earth, taking on in many cases the color of huge crime? Is it the blood-red fruit of sin ripening in human nature or is it due to failure on the part of parents, guardians, and teachers to TRAIN children and young people to be exact; to pin the mind to the work in hand; to glue the thoughts for the day, the hour, the moment, to the task to be done?
Let us answer in part these questions by the introduction of a bit of actual history.
Some two years ago the writer made a brief call at the home of a friend in the city of Los Angeles. The time was toward the close of a cloudy day in November. A busy mist was hurrying thru the streets. The sharp air made winter wraps welcome.
While engaged in conversation with my friend and her husband, there tripped into the room, from the sidewalk whither he had gone for brief exercise, an active, rosy-cheeked boy, four years old, and the only child-member of the family. He was wrapped in warm cap and overcoat, and looked the personification of comfort.
Removing his cap quickly, he threw it upon the floor. "Pick up your cap, my son, and hang it in its place," commanded the father, in a firm, kind tone.
"No, papa, I'm going out again in a moment," answered the energetic mite. "Little boy," said the father kindly, "your cap must be put in its place every time you remove it to stay indoors at all."
Then the child took up the article, opened the door of a closet near, and hung it upon a hook specially provided therefor.
Becoming interested in his picture-books and toys, the little fellow soon forgot sidewalk, street-cars, and gleeful boys and girls. Soon his overcoat became burdensome. He removed it, and threw it upon a chair near.
The father, vigilant and heedful, was expecting this, and said immediately: "Little man, hang your coat in its place." Obedience was prompt, and then affairs went on smoothly.
This is a specimen of numerous like instances which occurred in the rearing of that boy. But now some of the fruit of that wise caretaking, that continued painstaking, that sowing healthy seed:
Not two weeks ago circumstances led the writer again to that interesting home for a brief visit. The little lad we have pictured had then just passed his sixth birthday. The two years had made good investment in him. They were now reaping comforting dividends.
Almost without failure now, the intelligent little fellow puts cap, coat, books, and scores of other things in place when done using them. Moreover he is rapidly acquiring the habit of holding his mind, thought, attention to whatever duty or occupation claims time and effort from him. He is beginning to see that failure on his part to do his tasks heedfully, exactly, may result disastrously to other persons.
Now if the parents of this child could so successfully train him, beginning at so early an age, and in the short space of two years, why may not other parents joy in the same gladdening outcome?
True, there are differences in children, in their mental and moral constitution. Some yield more rapidly to training than others. Like apple-trees, some yield appetizing fruit earlier in the season than others. So some children show the sweet products of culture in very early years. Slow development prolongs the task. But love stands by with help in such cases.
Courtesy to the Unfortunate.
An unfortunate friend of mine, who was born with an incurable deformity, said she would rather meet a herd of wild animals any day than to run the gantlet of a lot of cruel and critical children. She became almost a recluse, going out only at night and in lonely lanes, because of the unthinking cruelty of children. Another person of whom I heard committed suicide rather than live to bear the curious glances and brutal criticism which were her daily lot while pursuing her ordinary avocation.
I insist that the parents of these children are to blame, and could so train their offspring that, no matter how peculiar by deformity passers-by might be, they should be allowed the right to go on their unfortunate way, unmolested by jeer or glance or comment. Children are, at best, largely brutal in their treatment of the lame, the halt, the blind. Teach them, as I have taught mine, to permit the most hideously deformed person to pass unheeded. Teach them to pay no attention, to withhold the second glance, the nudge to companion, the smile, the sneer, the outspoken wonder, because to the sensitive victim the slightest notice is as a physical stab. It is an easy matter to so teach and train children, and the mother who does not do so is a silent accessory when the overstrained nerves of the burdened martyr give way and some tragedy results. It's an easy matter to teach children that a cardinal principle of social life is a courteous regard for the feelings of others.—The Designer.
Christ Born for Me
By Martin Luther
WHOEVER preaches Him rightly preaches the Gospel of pure joy. Of what benefit would it be to me if Christ had been born a thousand times and it were daily sung into my ears in a most lovely manner, if I were never to hear that He was born for me and was to be my very own?—Luther.
The Best Husband
“The best husband will be a man of sympathy. He will be willing to suffer with his wife and for her. He will be a true partner to his wife, will take an interest in her work and seek her counsel in his plans.”
The True Wife
“The true wife will reverence her husband. She will honor his manhood and nobility of purpose. She will delight to see him honored by others, and will continue to exalt him as her choice of all men.”

Revised edition, by Uriah Smith.

The author has devoted over thirty years to the study of the Bible, and believes that the prophecies of Daniel and John were written for our admonition, and that the subjects they unfold are the coming themes for the religious world, destined to engage the attention of all thoughtful minds. 754 pages, with illustrations, beautifully bound.

THE GREAT CONTROVERSY BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN
By Mrs. E. G. White. This volume presents the most wonderful and intensely interesting history that has ever been written of the great conflict between Christianity and the powers of darkness, as illustrated in the lives of Christian martyrs and reformers on the one hand, and wicked men and persecuting powers on the other. Beginning with our Lord’s great prophecy, given while viewing Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, this book outlines the history of the whole dispensation down to the time when “sin and sinners are no more, God’s entire universe is clean, and the great controversy is forever ended.” It contains 39 full-page illustrations, nearly all of them new and specially engraved.

HERALDS OF THE MORNING
By A. O. Tait. A new edition of this popular work, enlarged and thoroly up to date. It treats on the second coming of Christ, and the signs that the Scriptures tell us should precede that great event. It tells the meaning of the appalling loss of life by murder and suicide, and by fearful calamities on every hand, of the capital and labor troubles, strikes, fires, perplexity among the nations socially and politically, and the significance of the great phenomena in nature as portrayed all around us. With all this Christ is presented as the Friend of sinners, and His coming as the cheering hope of His children. It points out the place of refuge for those who would be shielded amid the perils of these last days, and how we may be saved from the great deceptions that Satan is multiplying in the earth. The light from the “sure word of prophecy” is turned on life’s pathway, clearing up the obscurity and brightening it up amid the troubles and perplexities, even unto the dawning of the morning of the eternal day when strife shall cease. More than 150 illustrations vividly portray that upon which the subject-matter treats. A live book upon a live subject. 384 pages, cloth, marbled edges, $2.00.

Of Interest to Home-Seekers.
Are you interested in a country which offers special advantages to a man with small capital? A place where a man can start on, say from $500 to $700; a country with exceptionally healthful climate and equal to that of California; where all kinds of vegetables can be grown every month of the year; where alfalfa nets $100 per acre? Mr. Andrew Hansen has recently found such a location and is desirous of corresponding with Seventh-day Adventists with reference to this new country and its special advantages. A full description may be had by addressing either Andrew Hansen or J. N. Kilgore, Mercedes, Texas.
Resurgo San Francisco
The "Circle" of January printed a remarkably strong poem by Joaquin Miller, entitled "Resurgo San Francisco." It pointed out among other things San Francisco's sins, and very clearly showed that the old poet felt that the judgment which came upon that city came as a consequence of her sins; but we see one reference only to Mr.
Miller's great poem in the press of San Francisco. It is certainly a great utterance, and Mr Miller is to be congratulated on the courage of his conviction in writing it, and the Circle for printing it.
