THE first week after camp-meeting I took the large tent to Sauk Center, where Brn. Curtis and Battin are now laboring. A card from Bro. Battin says they are having a good interest, and large congregations every evening.
July 6, 7, I met with the church at Lake Ellen at their quarterly meeting, and found the most of those that came into the truth last spring growing strong in the work.
July 13, 14, I was with the church at New Auburn. This church has been passing through trials, but we hope they will profit by past experiences and soon see better days.
Last Tuesday night, in company with Eld. Fulton and Bro. Hall, came to Maine Prairie, where we found our sixty-foot tent pitched on the bank of a lake, in one of the most beautiful spots in Minnesota. There is a road in front of the tent, the shores of a large lake just in the rear, with a few large oaks for a shade. And what is still better, the Lord is blessing the labors of Brn. Hill and Moore. From three to four hundred are out every evening. I found them in the midst of a discussion on the law and the Sabbath, with Eld. Shoemaker, a leading Disciple minister. The interest is increasing and spreading over this county, and the prospects are that a large church will be raised up here.

Sauk Center, July 23.
We still continue to have a good hearing. The attention is remarkably good. Our audiences range from one hundred and twenty-five to three hundred. People are studying and discussing earnestly. The Episcopal minister struck out against us as “false prophets.” His discourse was reviewed before a full tent, with telling effect. Next the Congregational minister came out, on Sunday evening, in defense of “the Christian Sunday.” We dismissed our meeting, and went, with our congregation, to hear him. Last evening we had the largest crowd that we have had to listen to a review of his sermon. The review will occupy this evening also. The Lord was present to help, and conviction seemed to settle down upon many minds. Some have taken a stand to obey God, and keep his commandments. Others are in “the valley of decision.” May the Lord lead them out into the clear light of truth. Have sold books to the amount of $4.60.
We believe that the brethren remember us in prayer, and ask them to continue to do so.

WE commenced lectures at this place, July 4; gave five lectures on the prophecies and signs of the times, and then took up the law and Sabbath, and the sanctuary. After we had thoroughly canvassed these subjects before an audience of from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty persons, Eld. C. B. Watkins, Disciple minister, announced to speak on the Christian Sabbath, showing Sunday to be the Lord’s day. We gave him the use of the tent on Sunday at 3 P. M., and Bro. W. B. Hill reviewed him in the evening. The truth gained a glorious victory.
Eld. A. Shoemaker, a noted Disciple champion, then came forward and challenged for a discussion. The whole community were deeply stirred, and demanded that the Sabbath question be publicly discussed. It was thought best to defend the truth before the people. The question was, “Resolved, That the Scriptures teach that the seventh-day Sabbath is binding on Christians in this dispensation.” Eld. Hill affirmed, Eld. Shoemaker denied. It was arranged to hold the discussion two evenings, and the time was afterwards extended to four evenings. The attendance was from four to five hundred. Our sixty-foot tent was literally packed. The evening the discussion closed we tested the people on the Sabbath question, and twenty arose thus promising to keep all the commandments. The truth has gained a victory.
We now go on with our lectures with a good prospect of success. We desire the prayers of God’s people.

Fort Scott, July 24.
We pitched the tent in this place the 18th. Have held six meetings, our congregations ranging from one to two hundred. Some interest is manifested; but there is not, as yet, a settled interest. The Scott Daily Monitor gives us from half to two-thirds of a column daily. It also voluntarily published the tract giving the rise and progress of our people. The notice has gone far and near. Yesterday a man who lives ten miles away came to the tent and wanted a minister to go to his neighborhood and give a course of lectures. Thus while we are laboring in Scott, and giving a daily report in the paper, we are preaching, probably, to not less than one thousand people who have not attended our Gospel Tent, as they have named it here.

Sabbath, July 6, was a good day for the brethren and sisters in Shefford county. The meeting at South Stukely was well attended. On the evening after the Sabbath, I dwelt on the certainty that God is leading this people, and on the importance of our co-operating with the Lord in this work; and all present evinced that they felt a readiness to help in pushing forward the work. Five united with the church.
The next week I met with the brethren and sisters in Stanstead county. On the Sabbath I held three meetings at Dixville. It was really cheering to see so many of like faith as were present in the chapel on that occasion. Still there was a vacant place in the house. Sister Willis had fallen under the hand of death, and was not there. She died July 3, leaving a kind companion and several little children to mourn her loss. A vote of sympathy for the afflicted husband and motherless children was passed by all present. The Bible-class and Sabbath-school are in a flourishing condition. In the afternoon a young man was buried with Christ in baptism. Another young man was also received into the church.
At 7 P. M. I tried to ascertain where I should hold tent-meetings, and what assistance I should receive in the work. The Lord was in our midst by his Spirit. The figures on S. B. are now raised about forty dollars, and some signed for the Dime Tabernacle. An Adventist preacher, who had formerly been a minister in the Christian denomination, was present, and enjoyed the spirit of the meeting much. He invited me to pitch the tent in his village, in the county of Compton. This brother and Bro. J. Claxton have aided us much, and though we have had rain all the time since our meetings commenced, I have had a good hearing thus far. Our tents stand between the Anglican church and the temperance hall.

Oakland, Cal.
In a report dated July 15, Eld. W. M. Healey says that the attendance and interest are still good, though meetings had been held four weeks. Twenty-six had signed the covenant. Sunday, the 14th, seven were baptized in the presence of about two thousand people. The Lord is blessing his work here.
Placerville, Cal.
The interest at Placerville, Bro. B. A. Stephen's field of labor, continues good. Books sell well. The life of Urges makes a stir among the Roman Catholics. Nearly four hundred persons were out to listen to a discourse on spiritualism; and many who were tampering with this ism now seem ashamed that they gave it any countenance. The Sabbath question was introduced July 13.
Idleness as the Root of Mischief and Melancholy
IDLENESS is the badge of gentry, the bane of body and mind, the nurse of naughtiness, the step-mother of discipline, the chief author of all mischief, one of the deadly sins, the cushion upon which the devil chiefly reposes, and a great cause not only of melancholy, but of many other diseases; for the mind is naturally active; and if it be not occupied about some honest business, it rushes into mischief or sinks into melancholy.— Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy
Sabbath Excursions and Sunday Train Criticism
Correspondents will please bear in mind that no attention is paid to anonymous communications.
Orders for the Theological Trilemma, noticed in REVIEW of June 6, may be sent to this Office. Price $1.00.
The latest and most absurd thing we have seen on the Sabbath question in behalf of Sunday-keeping is a pamphlet of 34 pages by Wm. C. Thurman. The name of the author, with those who are acquainted with his writings, will be sufficient to satisfy their minds in regard to the nature of the book. It is simply a waste of time to read it.
“SABBATH EXCURSIONS.—The running of Sabbath trains on the railroads is a sin that will meet with judgment, perhaps very speedily, but certainly at some time. The companies that violate God’s command in this regard may as well consider the results before as after they actually occur. If there were no warning, the excuse for the business might avail. But the warning stands in God’s word, and there is no excuse. There will be no one to blame but the guilty parties when the punishment comes. We are not speaking vain words, but sober words of truth. The running of trains on Sabbath has been begun between this city and Cincinnati. We pronounce this an open and willful violation of Christian morality, and a bold act of defiance before God. It will not go unpunished.—Religious Telescope, (Dayton, O.)”
By the Sabbath, the Telescope of course means Sunday. It solemnly reins up the railroad companies before God, and the commandment of God, and the judgments of God, for pursuing their business on that day. But will the Telescope please tell us what “command” of God is violated by working on Sunday, and where any divine threatening is recorded against that practice. It is well to know whereof we affirm when we presume to sit in judgment on our fellow-men in regard to the statutes and requirements of Jehovah.
A Correction.
By Editor
An inexcusable blunder disgraced our columns last week. It occurred in the latter part of the first article on page 37. The matter passed correctly through the hands of the proof-readers till the final correction before going to press, when a line was carelessly transposed two lines from where it belonged, making nonsense of the passage. It should read as follows:—
“The best idea of family prayer is realized when all the members of the family pray. In this case the prayers should be brief, the parents setting the example, being instructed by the Lord’s prayer,” &c.
From such acts of heedlessness this Office has happily been free for some time past, and we trust that nothing of the kind will again occur.
The subscriber has a farm of 187 acres in Winhall, Bennington Co., Vt., located about 2½ miles from the S. D. A. meeting-house in Jamaica, which he wishes to sell that he may invest part of its value in the cause of present truth. Also ¾ of a mile from the above, 52 acres, on which is a good barn and some fruit trees. Will be sold together or separate. Liberal credit for part of value. For further particulars, address, Eld. N. Orcutt, So. Vineland, N. J.
A small fruit farm for sale, consisting of eleven acres of good land, with good house and barn, woodshed, and good water. Fruit consists of apples, peaches, pears, quinces, grapes, cherries, plums, currants, blackberries, raspberries, &c., &c. For particulars, inquire of Wm. Penniman, Woodburn, Macoupin County, Ill.
My address, until after the Wisconsin camp-meeting, will be Grand Rapids, Wis. H. W. Decker.
The P. O. address of Eld. I. and H. T. H. Sanborn will be West Townshend, Vermont, till further notice.

Illinois Camp-meeting.
THE Illinois State camp-meeting will be held at Bloomington, McLean Co., Ill., Aug. 27 to Sept. 3, 1878, on a large inclosed lot, near the center of the city. Let there be a grand turnout at this annual convocation of the Seventh-day Adventists of Illinois.
G. W. Colcord, R. F. Andrews, Geo. Foreman, Illinois Conference Committee.
Illinois Conference.
THE eighth annual meeting of the Illinois Conference will be held in connection with the camp-meeting, Aug. 27 to Sept. 3, 1878, for the election of officers and to transact such other business as may come before the meeting. Every church, and every body of believers not fully organized, should be represented at this meeting either by delegate, or by letter stating numbers, condition, and wants.
Conference Committee.
Illinois T. and M. Society.
THE next annual meeting of the Illinois T. and M. Society will be held on the camp-ground, Aug. 27 to Sept. 3, 1878.

Committee.
Maine Camp-meeting.
THIS meeting will be held Sept. 4 to 9, 1878, in a pleasant grove, one mile from Waterville village, on the road leading to West Waterville. This grove is owned by Mrs. Gilman. This is the most central point in the State to accommodate all our people; therefore we expect all will make a special effort to attend. We expect half-fare will be granted us on the Maine C. R. R. and its branches the same as last year, as they have promised to do as well by us as they do by any other people.
More hereafter. J. B. Goodrich.
Maine Conference.
THE twelfth annual session of the Maine State Conference will be held at Waterville, on the camp-ground, Sept. 4 to 9, 1878. Let all our churches immediately take the proper steps to represent themselves by delegate, according to the following ratio: “Each church of twenty members or under is entitled to one delegate, and one delegate for every additional fifteen members;” and let our young churches that wish to unite with the Conference send a delegate or represent themselves by letter, making their wishes known. We wish to have the delegates reach the ground as early as Tuesday, Sept. 3.

The Anglo-Russian Treaty.
THE world has been congratulating itself that the full text of the Berlin treaty was known, and that peace and prosperity was to follow from the work of the Congress. It appears from the following paragraph that they do not know it all yet. A secret compact exists between England and Russia; and but the first act is yet revealed in the Anglo-Russian programme. What the future will develop, who knows?
“The English government will not produce the documents relating to the Schouvaloff agreement. If Beaconsfield allowed these to be published, he would betray the secrets of the Russian government as well as his own, and shed more light on the plans for the future than would be politic. The English people have indorsed but the first step in the Anglo-Russian programme.”—Inter Ocean, July 27.
Hard Times.
THE millions of dollars worse than thrown away according to the following statement which we clip from an exchange, is a striking comment upon the present cry of “hard times.” And no doubt many of those who have been the loudest in berating the times, are the very ones who have freely squandered their means on this old Moloch of tobacco. One of the first steps toward remedying the hardness of the times is for all to discard such pernicious indulgences.
“Last year 27,000,000 pounds of tobacco and nearly two billions of cigars were smoked, snuffed and chewed in this country, an increase of about 8,000,000 pounds of tobacco and 50,000,000 cigars as compared with the previous year.”

The Dime Tabernacle.
By George I. Butler
ELD. GEO. I. BUTLER writes: We are all delighted with the idea of the Dime Tabernacle. It was a bright thought, a step in the right direction. It is much preferable every way to putting up a finely finished, costly building to show what an artistic people we are becoming. At least, so your deponent thinketh. We trust God's blessing will be upon it, and that prosperity will attend its erection, and that it may mark the beginning of a new era in which plainness, simplicity, utility, and fervent piety may prevail.
Good! Better!! Best!!!
By S. N. Haskell
EVERY mail brings responses from the circular and blanks sent from the Office in behalf of the Dime Tabernacle. These were sent to the various librarians, and to scattered Sabbath-keepers who, it was thought, would consider it a privilege to have an interest in the enterprise. One of the blanks thus sent is designed to be retained by the librarian on which to preserve a record of the names of those who make monthly pledges, and of the amounts paid. The others are to be returned to the Office, one each month, with the monthly donations and the names of the donors.
In some cases these have been returned for the first month with ten cents from each member of each family connected with the company. This is good. Others are returned with one dollar and twenty cents from each member, which pays for the year in advance. This is better. Others write, inclosing their “mite,” which proves to be five dollars from each member. This is best.
Go on, friends. Be sure to be among one of these three classes. Let those who cannot do best, do better; and those who cannot do better, do well. In all cases, the money should be forwarded immediately, as it is needed to purchase materials for the new building.

Failures This Year.
MESSRS. DUN, BARLOW & CO. report that the failures in the United States for the first six months of the present year are 5,825, as against 4,749 in 1877, an increase of over 1,000 in number, and equal to nearly twenty-five per cent.
The liabilities for the first half of 1878 are $130,000,000, as against $99,000,000 for the same period of last year, a percentage of increase still greater. Never before in the history of the country have business misfortunes been so numerous, or aggregating an amount of loss by bad debts so great.

Schools in the South.
BRO. A. O. BURRILL writes from Atalla, Ala.:—
“There are fine openings for first-class teachers to open and found large schools. I wish we could have a dozen or more faithful school teachers come here, and remain. They can build up a school most anywhere. We read the REVIEW with much interest, and find very much to encourage us. Remember us in your prayers.”
The Road to Ruin
The road to ruin is always kept in good repair and the traveler pays the expenses of it.
