“The Greatest Marriage.”

By D. A. Robinson

THESE words greeted my ears as a company entered a car in which I was recently riding: “The greatest marriage ever held in G——. I never saw so large a company to a wedding before; and then they were so gorgeously arrayed too. It was perfectly splendid, wasn’t it? I am so glad that I was invited.”

The above words brought to my mind another scene—the marriage of which John in Apocalyptic vision speaks in these soul-inspiring words: “Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.”

To this marriage were invited the rich; to that will be invited the poor of this world, but “rich in faith.” To this were invited those in high positions among men; to that will be invited those who, like their Master, were “despised and rejected of men.” It was thought to be a privilege to be invited to this; but the pleasure soon vanished.

Let us turn our eyes to the other scene. “The bride hath made herself ready.” “To her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white.” The guests are invited, not according to their rank or position in society, but according to their characters. Every one whose character is right will be there. The fine linen is the righteousness, or right doing, of the saints. Our works correspond to the condition of the heart. Then what will make our works right? “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.” Ps. 19: 7. This perfect law written in the heart, which is to be done under the new covenant, will develop a perfect character.

The pleasure and enjoyment connected with this scene will not be transitory, but “forevermore.” “Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb;” and “blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.” These blessings will be obtained by somebody. Will it be you, dear reader, that will fully overcome and help swell the notes in the triumphant song of victory at last? It is your privilege. It is mine. Then let us nerve ourselves for the conflict; for, through the name of the Conqueror, we can gain a place at the marriage supper. And think of the company that will be there. The patriarchs, the prophets, the apostles, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, whom death has separated, will all then meet never to know again what separation is. We may be there. We must be there. Let us prepare for it.

Are You a Christian?

IF NOT,

1. Is it because you fear what others may say of you?

“Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed.” Luke 9:26.

2. Is it because professed Christians are inconsistent?

“Every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” Rom. 14:12.

3. Is it because you are unwilling to give up all to Christ?

“What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul.” Matt. 16:26.

4. Is it because you are afraid that you will not be accepted?

“Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37.

5. Is it because you fear you are too great a sinner?

“The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7.

6. Is it because you are afraid you will not hold out?

“The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you and keep you from evil.” 2 Thess. 3:3.

7. Is it because you think that you will do as well as you can, and that God ought to be satisfied with that?

“No man is justified by the law in the sight of God.” Gal. 3:11.

8. Is it because you think Heaven can be reached without faith in Christ?

“Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12.

9. Is it because you are waiting for a more favorable time?

“Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” Prov. 27:1.

The Bereans were more noble because they “searched the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.” Acts 17:11.—Sel.

Stout English Girls.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Hartford Times, writing from a Swiss inn, says: “A few days ago just at dusk, after a cold rain had set in, two English girls and their handsome, gray-haired father arrived. They were cold and damp, and the hotel was cold and damp, and as we sat by our blazing fire and heard them go into their cold rooms we pitied them so much that we opened our door and invited them to share our warmth and comfort—so they came in, and we chatted together all the evening. Those two bright, fresh-looking girls sat calmly in their chairs and told us they had crossed from Meiringen to the Rhone Glacier over the Grimsel on foot the day before, through a foot of snow—had walked nine miles down the valley that morning, and then had climbed up all the way from Viesch to the hotel on foot in the rain that afternoon. We looked at them aghast and murmured, ‘Tired?’ ‘Oh, no,’ they briskly chorused; and indeed they did look most provokingly fresh and pretty. When we appeared in the morning, father (who always comes in to breakfast from out of doors with a blast of cold air, very much as if he had slept on the nearest glacier) announced that ‘those English girls started to walk up to the summit of the Eggishorn two hours ago and are coming back in time to cross the Aletsch Glacier to go to the Bel Alp for the night!’ Before long they came in, brisk and rosy as usual: ‘Oh, no! not tired at all!’—and without waiting for anything more than a lunch were off again. We groaned in spirit as we saw them disappear around the promontory.”

Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”

DIED, of consumption, at Bunker Hill, Miami Co., Ind., June 20, 1875, sister L. M. Baxter, aged twenty-seven years. Sister B. embraced the truth while the tent was at Bunker Hill last September; she was baptized by Eld. S. H. Lane last spring when so weak she had to be carried into the water. Her husband and the little company at Bunker Hill deeply feel their loss, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. Discourse by the writer from 1 Thess. 4: 18. H. M. KENYON.

DIED, of dyspepsia, in Easton, Talbot Co., Md., our father, in the 70th year of his age. In early life he embraced the Christian religion and united with the M. E. Church, and lived in full fellowship with them until 1840, when he embraced the hope of the dear advent of Christ. He bore the disappointment with patience, saying, “He that is to come, will come,” &c. His mind was frequently led out towards the Sabbath of the Lord, and in 1857 he fully accepted it, in which faith he died, in good hope of a resurrection to immortal life. An aged mother remains to mourn with us our loss. In life he was consistent, in death triumphant. Discourse by Eld. Bowen from Job 14: 14. WILLARD W. STEBBINS.

DIED, in Wolcott, Feb. 24, 1875, of dropsy, my dear sister, Sarah B. Whitney, aged fifty-six years and ten months. She lived with me most of the time for seven years, and became interested in reading the REVIEW. Out of respect for me, she observed the Sabbath. Although living with other friends the last eight months before her death, she still kept the Sabbath. She said she was frequently reminded of what I had often told her, “The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.” Funeral services by J. C. Langford, Methodist. LAURA M. ALEXANDER.

The Health Institute.

We are happy to inform the friends of reform, and all those who are anxiously seeking health, that the Health Reform Institute, located at Battle Creek, Mich., is in a most flourishing condition, and never gave promise of such extended usefulness as at the present moment. Many improvements are being made about the grounds and buildings, and still others are in contemplation. With increased facilities for treating all classes of diseases, we are prepared to extend to the afflicted inducements such as few institutions of the kind can offer.

It should be remembered that the Health Institute is not a Water Cure. Neither is it a Rest Cure, a Movement Cure, or a Diet Cure; but all known remedial agents are employed in a scientific manner in the treatment of diseases. Surgical cases receive special attention.

Camp-Meeting Postponed.

By James White

The Missouri and Kansas Camp-meeting is postponed. We think the first of October would be much better than the near time appointed.

July 21–28 would bring the meeting in the closing up of grain harvest, when it would be difficult for some to attend, and when the extreme heat would be overpowering to those speakers who are already worn by labor.

Our Anniversaries:

By James White

In company with Elder Smith and Mrs. W., we reach Battle Creek the 6th in season to stop the press, and say that probably our anniversary meetings will be held at Battle Creek in connection with our Michigan Camp-meeting, August 4-10.

Definite appointments will be given next week for the General Conference, Publishing Association, Educational Society, Health Institute, and the Michigan State Conference.

Grasshoppers by Measure.

By Uriah Smith

As we write these lines from the Minnesota camp-ground, in Eagle Lake, Blue Earth Co., June 27, 1875, the advance guard of the grasshopper army in this State is within five miles of us; and we learn some facts concerning them which are worthy of record. With true northern enterprise this county took measures to rid itself of this scourge by placing a bounty upon the slaughtered remains of these pests. It was first fixed at 5 cents a quart, or $1.60 a bushel. Under this offer, they were brought in in such quantities that the bounty was reduced to $1 per bushel, and the next day was taken off entirely, the treasury becoming exhausted by the demands upon it.

The results of this short war upon the insects shows more forcibly than any mere words could do it, the extent of the calamity now threatening this part of the country. The amount paid out in bounties reaches the enormous sum of $28,000.00; and the amount of grasshoppers killed falls but little short of eighteen thousand bushels!

The Mankato paper, from which we gather these facts, concludes its account as follows:—

“The amount of grasshoppers killed in this county for which a bounty has been paid cannot fall much short of 18,000 bushels. The number of hoppers in a bushel at different stages of growth have been variously estimated at from 160,000 to 320,000. Striking an average at 200,000 per bushel, the number killed in our ten days’ war would amount to 3,600,000,000—an army large enough, when fully grown, to ravage whole counties. The living still outnumber the dead, and they are doing great damage to the wheat in Judson, Cambria, part of Butternut Valley, Lincoln, Garden City, and other small localities.”

This, be it remembered, is in one county alone. Bro. Grant, the President of this Conference, states that on his journey to this place, he passed through twenty-five or thirty miles of territory where the grasshoppers were so numerous that it would be impossible to step without crushing a greater or less number of them, and in all the higher and dryer portions of which, they had collected three or four deep, devouring every green thing. And if a small portion of territory can present such facts and figures, what would be the result if all the other portions of this State were taken into the account, and all other States where this scourge is now felt? Is it not time for the people to begin to cry unto the Lord to stay in mercy the progress of this evil? U. S.

Analysis of the Cardinal's Oath.

By H. Wren

By inspecting the cardinal's oath, recently published in the REVIEW AND HERALD, it will be seen that a cardinal swears to do, and not to do, the following things:—

1. Obey the pope to the end of his (the cardinal's) life.

2. Do nothing against the pope, as a person or an officer.

3. Never divulge the pope's counsels, when it would injure the pope, or his reputation.

4. Do everything, not inconsistent with being priest, to recover and defend papal power.

5. Resist unto blood all persons who attempt anything against a papal ambassador.

6. Strive, by all means, to increase papal authority.

7. Inform the pope of all obstacles in the way of his power.

8. Seek, persecute, and fight heretics, by all possible means.

9. Turn back the Reformation, and restore the church to the condition it was in during the fifteenth century.

10. Ask nor accept pardon for breaking any of these pledges. H. WREN.

Edina, Knox Co., Mo., June 28, 1875.

A TEST APPLIED.—

A correspondent of one of our religious exchanges says: “I once heard a conversation between a church member and an infidel. After arguments were urged at some length on both sides, the infidel observed to his friend that he might as well drop the subject of conversation; ‘for,’ said he, ‘I do not believe a single word you say, and more than this, I am satisfied that you do not really believe it yourself, for to my certain knowledge you have not given, for the last twenty years, for the spread of Christianity—such as the building of churches, foreign and domestic missions—as much as your last Durham cow cost. Why, sir, if I believed one-half what you say you believe, I would make the church my rule for giving, and the farm the exception.’”

PARAPHRASE OF PS. 23.

By H. M. A.

The Lord is my shepherd ; I never I shall lack. Beside the still waters I follow his track ; In evergreen pastures he giveth me rest, My soul he restoreth for me when it's best. Because of his name, lest from him I should stray, In paths that are righteous he leadeth the way. While passing death's valley no evil I'll fear ; For nothing can harm me while Jesus is near ; Thy rod and staff soothe me. My enemies see My table made ready with bounties from Thee. My head thou anointest and liftest me up ; At wells of salvation thou fillest my cup. Thy goodness and mercy thou'lt evermore give ; In heavenly mansions forever I'll live. H. M. A.

Trusting God in the Dark

“A Good old Woman, a dear friend of mine,” said John Newton, “was asked upon her death-bed if she was comfortable in her mind, ‘Very far from it,’ she answered. ‘Then you are not willing to die?’ ‘Quite willing,’ she said. ‘If my Father chooses to put me to bed in the dark, I can trust him.’”

Camp-Meeting.

By L. Bean

I wish to say a few words in regard to our coming camp-meeting. If I can judge from the question, which is often repeated as I meet with brethren in different parts of the State, Where is our next camp-meeting to be held? there is an increasing interest in regard to them. This is as it should be. We believe camp-meetings have been a great blessing to the cause of truth and to our people. God required his people anciently to appear before him at stated times, Deut. 16:16, and the same reasons exist at the present time for the remnant church making a special effort to leave worldly cares behind and come before the Lord at the place appointed. Let them come with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, and cultivate a spirit of sacrifice that will be acceptable to him.

As we wish to exert the best influence upon the outside world that we possibly can, we should have every thing in perfect order as far as can be on a camp-ground. There should be an improvement in regard to tents. Our brethren who are able to provide themselves with tents should do so, that the large tent which is to be used for holding meetings in case of rain may be ready at any and all times without having to pile up beds, rearrange seats, &c. We think this would make a more favorable impression on those without, besides being more convenient and comfortable for those concerned.

We don't wish any to stay away on account of what has been written, but come one, come all, and we will do the best we can. The old Vermont tent, 24×24, will be devoted to those who are too poor to provide for themselves otherwise. Now a word about tents. I can, if desired make a few to sell to those who may wish to buy, at prices ranging from $12.00 to $30.00, according to quality and size. There are some families who do not feel able to buy one alone, but two can join together and buy a web of heavy cotton, costing from four to six dollars, and make a tent themselves. If this is soaked twenty-four hours in a strong solution composed of equal parts of sugar of lead and alum, and then dried, they can defy the hardest storm. If any further information is desired in regard to tents, please correspond with me immediately. We will do all we can up to the time of our camp-meeting, which we now expect will be held at Essex Junction. L. BEAN.
