News and Miscellany

Notes and clippings from the daily and weekly press

— A serious flood situation exists along the course of the Ohio River. Railroad traffic is practically tied up, and thousands of persons have been obliged to abandon their homes.

— Intoxicating liquors will not be carried in the parcel-post, and the liquor dealers who contributed large sums of money toward the passage of the measure are very indignant.

— That 5,500,000 persons in the United States are illiterate, which is a larger percentage of illiteracy than exists in any northern European country, was recently asserted by Dr. Roland P. Falkner, assistant director of the census.

— On January 12 the liner “Uranium,” of the Uranium Steamship Company, was stranded on a reef near Halifax, Nova Scotia, having been thrown out of her course by a violent storm. The 880 passengers were rescued and landed safely at Halifax.

— Thirty-nine lepers, it is reported, recently were put to death in an atrocious manner by order of the provincial authorities of Nanning, province of Kwangsi, China. The sufferers from the dread disease first were shot, and then their bodies were burned in a huge trench.

— Reports from London state that unless unforeseen events should change the current of affairs, the war in the Near East will be resumed within a week, and Europe will witness the horrors of a winter campaign. The allies have firmly made up their minds to take up arms a second time.

— The wireless station at Nauen, Germany, reports that it was in wireless communication with New York on January 14. This, it is stated, is the first time direct wireless communication has been established between Germany and America. Nauen is near Berlin, and the distance from New York to Berlin is approximately 4,400 miles.

— There comes, by way of Berlin, the announcement that the Russian minister of justice is drafting a bill to do away with penal servitude, and the banishment of political and criminal offenders to convict settlements in Siberia. The move, it is said, grows out of the protests of the free inhabitants of Siberia, who feel that the convict element of the population is standing in the way of the development of the country. There are also said to be 20,000 escaped convicts living in the wilds of Siberia as outlaws, and this menace is a deterrent in securing settlers.

— Last year $98,225 was spent by Harvard undergraduates on cigars and cigarettes, while $73,250 was consumed in liquors. It should be added that $71,250 was expended for books.

— A disastrous coal-mine accident is reported from Japan. More than 200 men were at work in the Ubari Mine on the island of Hokkaido when an explosion occurred. Only three were rescued alive.

— It is estimated that the Panama Canal, when completed, will cost $375,000,000. President Taft has just announced his determination to submit the controversy with England over the rate question to arbitration.

— During 1912, 2,997 miles of new railroad tracks were laid, the smallest amount since 1897. On the other hand, not since 1906 have there been so many locomotives and cars ordered as last year, the total being 4,424 locomotives, 3,623 passenger-cars, and 226,195 freight-cars.

— Announcement has been made of the resignation of J. Bruce Ismay from his position as managing director of the White Star Steamship line, to take effect June 30, 1913. Harold A. Sanderson will succeed him. It will be remembered, doubtless, that Mr. Ismay was the director of the company that owned the “Titanic.”

— Rear-Admiral Robert E. Peary and Capt. Roald Amundson, discoverers of the north and south poles, greeted each other for the first time on the evening of January 11, at the annual dinner of the National Geographic Society held in Washington, D. C. The special gold medal of the society was presented to Captain Amundson in honor of his discovery.

— Some effort to care for the immigrant after he leaves Ellis Island will hereafter be made by the government if the Senate passes the bill which has just gone through the House appropriating $75,000 to establish an immigrant station at Chicago. The station is planned to be a headquarters for new arrivals, where they may be guarded to some extent against dishonest or vicious exploitation.

— Presidential electors in all the States met January 13 at the various State capitals and formally announced the votes of their respective States for President and Vice-President of the United States, and chose their official messengers to carry the votes to Washington, where they will be delivered to the president pro tem of the Senate. The returns will be canvassed February 12 in joint session of the Senate and House, when Woodrow Wilson will be formally declared elected President of the United States.

— The possibilities of attack from airships in time of war have at last been actualized. In the midst of a violent cannonade between the Greeks and the Turks defending Bizani Fort, a Greek aviator flew over Bizani and Janina and dropped a veritable hail of bombs into the Turkish fortress. The aviator was accompanied in his flight by a Greek officer who hurled the explosive missiles into the fortress, where they caused serious damage. The Turkish fire slightly damaged his biplane in the descent, but his reply was effective, and he landed safely.

— The Spanish secret police, among the best detectives in the world, have been investigating the facts in regard to the man who killed Premier Canalejas. They have learned that the plot was made and the man sent out from the United States. Also that other men were appointed to kill King Alfonso, and Emperor William of Germany. The Berlin police have been warned, and every foreigner going to that city is investigated.

— Robert W. Archbald, of Scranton, Pa., judge of the United States Circuit Court, detailed to service in the United States Commerce Court, was found guilty of “high crimes and misdemeanors in office,” on January 13, by the United States Senate, sitting as a court in impeachment. By a unanimous vote he was removed from office, and “forever disqualified from holding and enjoying any office of trust, honor, and profit under the United States.” Judge Archbald is the ninth federal official to be impeached by the United States Senate since the adoption of the federal Constitution.

— More than 150 American citizens have been murdered in Mexico since revolution has held that country in its grip, according to authentic information which has been brought to the attention of the State Department in Washington. While there have been few recent reports from Mexico, it is known definitely that the situation in that country is more serious than at any time since Porfirio Diaz was forced from the presidency. Among the lawless element the hatred of Americans is intense, and their lives are held cheaply. Citizens of European nations, likewise, have been murdered; millions of dollars’ worth of the property of American citizens has been stolen or destroyed; and apparently the Mexican government is absolutely powerless to give the protection demanded by the United States and other governments.

Self-Supporting Work for the Needy

Brother Andrew Roedel, secretary-treasurer of the British Columbia Tract Society, tells the following personal experience in Christian Help and Christian health work: “About one year ago one of our canvassers found a widow with several children in quite needy circumstances. I have been visiting her and helping her ever since. As a result, she has become interested in the truth. She has a little girl about nine years old, and I suggested that she might do some self-supporting missionary work; so several weeks ago I took a few days off and went out into the neighborhood and solicited subscriptions to Life and Health. The little girl was to take the magazine to the customers every month and receive ten cents on the delivery of each copy. In about six hours I had secured fifty subscriptions, and our standing order for fifty magazines is the result. I helped the little girl make her first delivery, so as to acquaint her with the route. She did nicely, and in the future will make her own delivery. Some day I intend to increase her list to one hundred. The people taking the magazine like it, and it would do your heart good to see the happy look on the girl's face when she returns from her delivery with a pocketful of dimes. These go to help keep up the home, after the magazines are paid for. The experience was certainly a help to me.” Are there not many other places where this same plan can be followed in relieving the distressed through giving them self-supporting work that is both pleasant and profitable?

In 1864 he came to the United States, and enlisted as a soldier in the civil war, serving six months. After his discharge he settled in Minnesota, where he was married to Mary Underwood. In 1893 he with his wife heard and accepted present truth, which hope was his joy and comfort until the end. His companion, one son, and two daughters are left to mourn, but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. The funeral services were conducted by Elder D. H. Hanson, assisted by the writer. C. H. RITTENHOUSE.

BEGLINGER.—Mrs. Maria Beglinger was born in Worms, Germany, Dec. 9, 1830, and died in California at the age of 82 years and 19 days. When sixteen years old she came to New York City, and six years later came to California by way of the Isthmus of Panama. She was among the early settlers in Nevada County. Brother and Sister Beglinger accepted present truth under the labors of Elder W. M. Healy, and were baptized by him in the Sacramento River about thirty-five years ago. From that time until her death Sister Beglinger lived an exemplary Christian life. The end came very suddenly while she was visiting her daughter, who is left to mourn. Services were conducted by the writer. B. E. BEDDOE.

HASSELMAN.—Jewel Hasselman was born in Barry County, Missouri, Feb. 4, 1894, and died at her home in Hot Springs, Ark., Dec. 27, 1912.

The writer conducted the funeral services, speaking words of comfort from Isa. 25:8, 9. ROY L. BENTON.

MINNIS.—Mattie S. Minnis, daughter of Milton and Elizabeth Searcy, was born in Louisville, Ky., July 24, 1878. She was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church of that place, and sleeps in the hope of soon meeting her Saviour. Sister Minnis was a dutiful wife and mother, and by her sunny, cheerful disposition won many friends, who will sadly miss her. She leaves a husband, daughter, and infant son to mourn their loss. The funeral service was conducted by Elder J. H. Lawrence. THE FAMILY.

REED.—Died Dec. 29, 1912, Serena Fitch Reed, wife of Frederic B. Reed, aged 72 years and 12 days. In 1876, through reading Adventist literature, the family accepted the third angel's message. Sister Reed was baptized at the Rome, N. Y., camp-meeting in that year, and until her death held firmly to the faith of this people. She was of a kind, sympathetic disposition, always caring for those about her and looking “well to the ways of her household.” She trusted in Christ her Saviour, feeling that her reward would be in a far brighter, happier world than this. Her husband, two daughters, and one son are left to mourn, but not without hope. F. B. REED.

BROWN.—John Brown died near Eugene, Oregon, Dec. 18, 1912, aged 74 years and 3 months. He was married in 1861 to Lidia Holling, in Ontario, Canada. Sixty-five years of his life were spent in Canada, and the remaining nine in Oregon. Brother Brown was converted to present truth in 1875. He was always a kind, considerate father, a loving husband, and an earnest, conscientious Christian. In their sorrow the surviving members of the family—his companion, two sons, and one daughter—find comfort in the hope of meeting their loved one when the Life-giver comes. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. L. A. GIBSON.

DRAKE.—Jennie Ella Drake died at her home in Mountain View, Cal., Dec. 19, 1912, aged 49 years, 10 months, and 28 days. Her maiden name was Jackson, and she was born in Union, Ill., Jan. 21, 1865. Most of her life was spent in Oakland, Cal. In 1884 Sister Drake accepted present truth, and was a devoted, earnest, conscientious Christian until the end. Her husband, two daughters, two brothers, and two sisters mourn their loss. The funeral services were conducted by Elder A. O. Tait and the writer. M. C. WILCOX.

BURGESSER.—George Burgesse was born Sept. 8, 1855, and fell asleep in Jesus Dec. 17, 1912, after an illness of more than three years. The deceased was a member of the Ithaca, Mich., church, of which he served as elder for several years. It can indeed be said that he was a man of God. He leaves a faithful wife and four children to mourn. The funeral, which was very largely attended, was conducted by the writer. Text, Rev. 14:13. WM. OSTRANDER.

LYON.—Walter E. Lyon was born at Scio, Washtenaw Co., Mich., Jan. 9, 1859, and died Jan. 1, 1913. His death occurred very suddenly at the home of a neighbor. He was married to Miss Mary Cox Aug. 17, 1873. To them were born ten children, eight of whom, with their mother, are left to mourn. One sister also survives. Brother Lyon moved to Isabella County, Michigan, in 1875, and located in Sherman Township, where he resided until his death. He was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The writer conducted the funeral service. W. C. HEBNER.

GUTHRIE.—Elihu Guthrie was born in Jackson County, Indiana, Aug. 7, 1849, and died Dec. 29, 1912, in Hamilton, Mo. He was united in marriage with Elizabeth E. Sherrill in 1865. Four children were born to them, all of whom were present at the funeral. Before the end came he testified that he was ready to go. This gives his sorrowing companion and children the hope of a reunion in the glad resurrection morning. The Seventh-day Adventist church at Hamilton was crowded with relatives and friends, to whom words of comfort and admonition were spoken by the writer from Rev. 14:13. C. J. KUNKEL.

LOUGHBOROUGH.—William Kerr Loughborough was born in Victor, N. Y., Aug. 5, 1827, and died at Glendale, Cal., Nov. 21, 1912, aged 85 years, 3 months, and 16 days. He lived in Victor most of the time until Aug. 6, 1867, when he removed to Battle Creek, Mich. He lived there until Oct. 21, 1906, when he came to California, laboring on the new Pacific Press building at Mountain View, and also at St. Helena. Brother Loughborough was converted at the age of twelve years, joining the Methodist Church. When the great second advent movement of 1843 and 1844 agitated the world, he accepted the second angel's message of Revelation 14, and, with twenty others, withdrew from the Methodist Church. It was in 1849 that he encouraged and assisted his brother, J. N. Loughborough, to engage in preaching the advent doctrine. In 1860, after reading the Advent Review for two years, he united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. In 1847 he was married to Eliza Norton. To them were born three sons and two daughters. The surviving son, Brother E. C. Loughborough, for many years connected with the Review and Herald Office, is now laboring in the Pacific Press. His oldest daughter, Mrs. C. F. Marvin, and her husband are connected with the Glendale Sanitarium. His youngest daughter, Mrs. Winnie Kelsea, was for several years editor of the Youth's Instructor, as was also his sister, Mrs. M. J. Chapman. Some time after the death of his wife, June 19, 1906, he was married to Miss Reed. Soon after this, his health failing, he came to his daughter, Mrs. Marvin, of Glendale, where he spent the last two years of his life. He was the first to introduce object-lessons in connection with the Sabbath-school work in Battle Creek, being also closely associated with Prof. G. H. Bell in young people's work. Many of our workers date their first religious experience from their attending the missionary meetings that he held in Rivulet Hall. During the last few months of his life he was able to read his Bible through, and his last remaining days were spent in perfect peace and in patient waiting for the time when his Saviour would let him rest. He passed away as a child would drop to sleep. Funeral services were conducted by the writer in Glendale, Cal., where he was laid to rest awaiting the resurrection day. E. J. HIBBARD.

HART.—Jonna Clayville Hart, wife of George Hart, was born April 10, 1839, in Knoxville, Ky., and died at Pratt, Kans., Dec. 16, 1912, aged 73 years, 8 months, and 6 days. Her husband, four sons, and one daughter are left to mourn. Sister Hart united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1895, and was an earnest, devoted Christian. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. N. T. SUTTON.

BARROWS.—Died at Brownington, Vt., Dec. 31, 1912, in the fifty-second year of his life, Willis E. Barrows. Brother Barrows was the son of Hamlet W. and Susan Churchill Barrows, and was born in Irasburg, Vt., Nov. 25, 1861. His early life was spent with his parents on the farm. At the age of fifteen he entered Battle Creek College, and intended to complete his education at that institution, but on account of the sickness and death of his mother, he was called away from school, and did not return after his first year there. For some time he attended school at Barton, Vt. Jan. 1, 1884, he was united in marriage to Jennie M. Sumner, of Braintree, Vt. To this union were born five sons and three daughters, all of whom were present at the funeral. While living in Coventry, Vt., in the winter of 1901, he was stricken with typhoid fever, from which he never fully recovered; and to this is traced his failing health to the time of his death. Leaving Coventry, he bought his father's old homestead, where he lived until the fall of 1910. Then, as most of his children were in South Lancaster, Mass., he moved to that place. After about a year's residence at South Lancaster, he began to decline very rapidly, and desired to return to his Green Mountain home. In company with his wife, he went to the hospitable home of G. D. Litchfield, at Brownington, where he was tenderly cared for until the time of his death. Brother Barrows was a faithful man in the cause of truth, and one that could be depended upon. He was a loving father and devoted companion, and his death will be greatly felt in the home circle and in the Northern New England Conference. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Job 14:14. A large circle of old neighbors and friends attended the funeral, and paid their last respects to one whom they had known for years. His four oldest sons carried the casket of their father to the grave. All felt that he rests in hope, and it will be well with him when Jesus comes. W. B. WHITE.

Items of General Interest

The editor of the Review left Washington last week to attend the general council now in progress in California. He will be absent until about the tenth of February.

Elder E. W. Webster, a report of whose past season’s labors will appear in the next issue of the Review, arrived in Washington last week, and will at once connect with the Sanitarium as chaplain.

Elder D. C. Babcock writes that with his family he expects to leave West Africa the last of January. After spending a short time on the Canary Islands, they will sail direct to British Guiana and visit among friends and Sister Babcock’s relatives, this being her former home and Brother Babcock’s former field of labor.
