South Dakota Camp Meetings

By N. W. Allee

For the convenience of many of our brethren of this State, two camp meetings have been appointed—one at Yankton, June 9-15, the other at Watertown, June 16-23. At Yankton a fine grove and a good supply of water are provided at the expense of the city, with a cordial invitation to hold the meeting there. Grounds are also offered at Watertown.

We trust that all our brethren will make every reasonable effort to attend these meetings. Elder Lane and other efficient laborers are expected to be present. Best of all, the Spirit of God is pledged to meet with us as our teacher. How much we need the comfort and power of the Holy Spirit! The great, solemn message committed to us, with its decisive issues, fixing eternally the destiny of every human soul now upon the earth, divinely appeals to us fully to awake to our privileges as well as to the dangers of the hour.

The importance of church members attending camp meetings is thus set before us by the Spirit of God: “It is important that the members of our churches should attend our camp meetings. . . . Brethren and sisters, it would be far better for you to let your business suffer than to neglect the opportunity of hearing the message God has for you. Make no excuse that will keep you from gaining every spiritual advantage possible. You need every ray of light. You need to become qualified to give a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. You cannot afford to lose one such privilege.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. VI, pages 38, 39.

Please read the whole article. Brethren, let us heed the message, and decide to attend the camp meetings, asking God to remove hindrances, if there be any.

The brethren of Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota, who are conveniently near, are cordially invited to attend these meetings. Write immediately for tents and further information, to L. D. Randall, or to myself, 228 N. Phillips Ave., Sioux Falls, S. D.

The Christiania Offering

By William A. Spicer

Remember the Date, July 5

GOOD words have come to us from our brethren in Europe concerning the outlook in Christiania. The publishing house has been reorganized upon a self-sustaining basis, and parts of the building are being used in other branches of the work in such a manner that it is proving of direct service in advancing the truth, while still paying its way. The reverse is turned into an advance, and those who have helped and lifted may know that their efforts have not been in vain. Best of all, the peoples of Northern Europe have had a practical demonstration of the fact that this truth stands for Heaven’s own standard of business honesty and integrity. There are many ways of preaching the truth. No more forceful presentation of it could have been offered the Scandinavian countries, during their time of financial panic, than the spectacle of a whole people in America quietly taking hold to redeem an institution planted in the name of God to represent this advent message. Who of us, does not feel a pleasure in helping to prove to men of the world in that land that no one shall ever suffer the loss of a dollar by having trusted a Seventh-day Adventist institution? In this matter we stand for the honor of a cause that is dearer to every believer than life itself.

The exact situation will be presented to us during coming weeks by communications from our brethren now assembling in the European General Conference, in London. Meanwhile let all remember that Sabbath, July 5, has been set apart as the day for this year’s special offering for Christiania. It would be a grand thing if we might so respond to God’s call in this matter that this one effort should prove to be the last necessary. All our mission resources would then be set free without delay for aggressive work in the needy fields beyond. In no one thing that has come before us has Heaven’s call been more urgent or fuller of promise of victory and blessing than in this matter of Christiania. Will not church leaders mention this matter in all the companies? and shall we not begin to plan definitely for the offering at once? Last midsummer’s offering was grandly successful. Conference workers had set it before the people, and all rallied to lift the burden. Now again, while the children of this world are spending money uselessly in the festivities associated with July 4, the children of the kingdom have the blessed privilege of joining the angels in lifting up the standard of deliverance in Northern Europe.

A Mother's Love

By E. A. Sutherland

THE Christian church is recognized by God as his wife. He is the father, the husband. “Thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name.” And when the wife turns from her husband, this divine husband pleads with her, using the argument, “For I am married unto you.”

In the home where husband and wife are of one mind, what harmony prevails in the training of the family! It is the one ambition of the wife and mother to see their stalwart sons follow closely in the footsteps of their father.

This world contains many broken families, for sin separates mortal husbands from their wives almost as often as it breaks the bond between the heavenly husband and his wife.

When this bond is severed, mothers usually cling to the children with a love stronger than death. They themselves will starve to feed the children: they will sacrifice anything to keep the little ones in school, and to prepare them for a position in life higher than the one they themselves occupy.

Occasionally, however, a woman is found devoid of the mother instinct, but of all creatures on earth she is the lowest in the scale and the most miserable. Some inborn curse seems to hang over her, and her doom is sealed. People pity her, and she loathes herself. She is a freak of nature, or is suffering the effects of some evil habit.

If man so regards a fellow being, how must God regard his wife, the church, which turns from her little ones and leaves them to share whatever fate a heartless world may offer? His great heart of pity bleeds not only for those children, but for the mother also.

And yet there are to-day churches bearing the Father’s name, married unto him, in form at least, who are starving the souls of the children. These mothers are carelessly, ruthlessly turning from the children, and leaving them to strangers to educate. How can it be? How long can it exist?

The cry that reaches the Husband’s ear rends his heart. Message after message has been sent to arouse this slumbering conscience, and yet hundreds of children, even in Seventh-day Adventist churches, are still unprovided with Christian teachers.

Every church which yet has life enough to continue an existence must hear the word and respond.

“The work that lies next to our church members is to become interested in our youth.” “Shall members of the church give means to advance the cause of Christ among others, and then let their own children carry on the work and service of Satan?”

“In all our churches there should be schools, and teachers in those schools who are missionaries.” “Work as if you were working for your life to save children from being drowned in the polluting, corrupting influences of this life.” “We may bring hundreds and thousands of children to Christ if we will work for them.”

I can safely say that every church in which the breath of life still lingers will heed these words. And there should go up from our churches such a cry for Christian teachers that the whole denomination would be startled. That cry should pierce the deaf ears of every Seventh-day Adventist young man and woman who has ability to teach. Indeed, the church which lives will demand that something be done for starving, perishing children. It should be done this very year.

If such a cry should come to our conference committees from the churches, do you not think young people would be hurried to our summer school for training? Would any effort be spared? If you are in a dying church, lift your voice to save it, and save it through the children.

“Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you.” This is the Husband’s plea for the children. Will you have a school and a Christian teacher? Now is the time to provide both. Let the mother love revive!

E. A. SUTHERLAND.

George James’s Missionary Seed Sowing

MANY former students of Battle Creek College will remember Brother George James, who went to Central Africa as a self-supporting missionary. From the report of Brother Booth's talk, printed in this issue, it appears that Brother James was one of the instrumentalities used in bringing the truth to Brother Booth. Brother James rests from his labors, but his seed sowing is still bearing fruit.
