The Missionary Acre
An Appeal for Young Men
If all the Seventh-day Adventist young men living to-day could be transported to the wilderness near Sinai, and suddenly find themselves living under the conditions described in the book of Exodus; if they could hear the law proclaimed from the mount, and could have Moses for a leader; if they could see him go into the mount, and on his return hear him tell of the heavenly sanctuary, and of the tabernacle which it would please God to have them build,—if all the Christian young men of to-day could pass through that experience, how many of them would have a part in the work described in Exodus 35? If you are not perfectly familiar with that grand chapter, read it from the first verse to the thirty-fifth, and then ask yourself what you would do under those circumstances.
Would you say that you had work of your own to do, or would you be as they were, “every one whom his heart stirred him up, and every one whose spirit made willing, . . . they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted”?
Do you find that they asked, before offering their services, What pay shall we receive? Do you find the builders lacking workmen, and hiring help from among the heathen? If you had been there, would your services have been used?
If you think you would then have been among the “willing hearted,” you will assuredly be in that class to-day.
The situation is this: God has revealed through his servant the manner of schools which we should have. He has said we should be in the country, that our buildings should be moderate in size and cost, that student help should be utilized in their erection. All this instruction may be read from Volume VI of the Testimonies.
Emmanuel Missionary College has begun the erection of buildings on the college farm. These buildings should be ready for use not later than next September. The printing office, the carpenter shop, and several other buildings should be completed before that time. It is the desire of the management to follow the instruction given, not only as to the location and character of the buildings, but by utilizing student labor.
A large company of strong, able-bodied men could be used at once. Men are wanted who are qualified to become students next fall—men who desire Christian training for evangelistic work.
As in the thirty-fifth chapter of Exodus, so in this work; wages cannot be offered as an inducement. The erection of college buildings is as sacred to us as was the building of the tabernacle thirty-five hundred years ago. The money paid to laborers comes from the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and is a fund as sacred as the tithe. Those who seek work on the buildings should be as worthy of their wages as is the minister or the Bible teacher. Each is a servant of God. Those to whom money is an inducement should look23elsewhere. Those who desire to help a worthy project, can here find an opportunity.
The money-seeking spirit strikes a death blow to spirituality. The student who works for wages as a mechanic, will carry the same spirit of commercialism into the ministry, especially should he choose that work. There is an idea more or less prevalent that a Seventh-day Adventist mechanic when working for the cause should receive the wages which the world pays; but that the Seventh-day Adventist minister, teacher, or physician should not expect wages which the world pays for such ability. If the latter is true, as we all admit, the former class should manifest the same spirit of sacrifice. To this principle Emmanuel Missionary College will hold.
For general help, from eighteen to twenty dollars a month, with room and board, is paid. Men of ability and experience in the trades are paid in proportion.
Throughout the year numerous calls come for assistance from those unable to meet the expense of an education. Now the opportunity is offered for a large number to work in payment of next year’s expenses. Another such opportunity need not be looked for. Many should take advantage of this one.
Help can easily be hired by turning to the world. Shall we do this, or will the young men of the denomination respond? Applicants should be qualified to enter Emmanuel Missionary College. This signifies that they are Christians, that they are thorough in the common branches, and desire training for evangelical work.
The problem is before you. Shall we postpone building, shall we hire outside men, or shall we have the help of Christian students? By your attitude you help answer this question.
Middle-aged men desiring a brief course in canvassing, colporteur work, etc., will not be required to meet the educational standard set for the regular student.
Men who wish to donate labor are invited to correspond with us. Let all whose hearts are stirred write at once to the president of Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Mich.

Miles.—Died at her home in Little Sioux, Iowa, of old age, Feb. 23, 1902, Sister Miles, aged 83 years, 6 months, 21 days.

She rests in hope of the first resurrection. J. C. Barcus.
Pennsylvania Conference and Camp Meeting
By R. A. Underwood
The annual conference and camp meeting of the Seventh-day Adventists of Pennsylvania will be held in Johnstown, Pa., beginning June 5 and continuing ten days. The camp is located in a pleasant place at Meadowvale, in the southern part of the city. The canvassers' institute now in progress in Johnstown is doing excellent work, and will prove a good preparation for the camp meeting. We expect a glorious meeting, and trust that many will be blessed as a result. The canvassers are having excellent success for the time they spend in field work. One sister eighty-three years old is among those taking instruction at the institute. Last week in less than three days she sold over thirty dollars' worth of books. We are promised good ministerial help at the camp meeting, and hope for a large attendance of our people. See Keystone Gleaner for railroad rates, etc.

President.

Kansas. Notice!
By C. McReynolds
CAMP meetings are arranged for Kansas as follows:—
Russell........................June 5–15
Humboldt......................July 4–14
Kingman.......................July 25 to August 4
Norton........................August 14–25
Junction City.................October 1–2
The annual State camp meeting and conference will be held in Junction City. Good help will be supplied for each of these meetings. Elder Russell will attend most of them. The State camp meeting, June 5–15, will be attended by Brother F. H. Westphal, and we also expect Elder A. J. Voth and the German workers in the State. Meetings will also be conducted in the English, and Elder Beeson, the writer, and other laborers will be there. The tract society work, the canvassing work, and the special work with “Christ’s Object Lessons” will be given much attention. Sabbath-school and church-school work will be considered. No business meetings will come in to take the time at these local camp meetings. We will have all the time for the study of the Word of God and instruction in the various departments of the work. We are sure that the Lord will be with us, and that these will be meetings of great benefit to all present. Do not fail to come. Begin immediately to lay your plans. There will be plenty of tents on the ground in each place; and wherever we may be sure that fifty will come over the railroads, we will get a rate of one and one-third fare for the trip, and for the State meeting we expect a one-fare rate. We solicit the earnest prayers of all our people for the work in these meetings. Let us prepare our hearts to receive much good.
C. McREYNOLDS,
President.
