Just the Thing

The following letter, received at this Office before the writer had seen the recommendation made in the Review for an offering for Christiania on Sabbath, July 5, shows that some others have thought of the propriety of such an offering at the time mentioned. We have no doubt that many others feel the same way, and we are pleased to print the letter:—

PUEBLO, COLO., MAY 8, 1902.

Editors of the Review and Herald.

DEAR BRETHREN: I will write a few lines which you may publish if you think best and have space. My husband, who lately came into the truth, suggested these thoughts which I will write. He has been thinking upon the subject for some time. As the cause needs money in so many different branches and places in this country as well as in foreign lands, he suggested that the fourth of July be set as a day for all our people to donate, as liberally as the Lord had prospered them, to these different worthy objects, the money to be used where it is needed most. There is much money spent by Seventh-day Adventists each year on this day for pleasure seeking and the adorning of the body, which, in the eyes of the Lord, is worse than thrown away, and which, if used to God's glory, would save some poor souls from eternal death, and bring to us untold blessings.

It seems to me that we, my husband, three small children, and myself, are among the poorest of the poor, but we are willing to make a special effort to sacrifice for this occasion, the fourth of July, and see if God will not bless us in so doing, and perhaps bring the light of present truth, which we love, to many poor souls who are now sitting in darkness. We are anxious to do all we can to help in all departments of this good cause, and our greatest desire is to share in the reward of the righteous, and be faithful in all the little things of life, feeling assured that the greater things will take care of themselves.

May all our brethren and sisters think of the plan herein suggested, and act as God may direct their minds. May God bless you all.

MRS. MINNIE WHITEHEAD.

Now let all the people say Amen, and let all respond heartily by planning for as liberal a donation as their circumstances will permit on Sabbath, July 5. We hope this will be the last call for help in order to relieve the Christiania Publishing House of its debt; and the amount necessary to pay off the whole of what remains can be raised at this time, if each one will do as the Lord has prospered him. When the Lord points out a duty to his people, he will bless them with the ability to do it. When we give ourselves wholly to the accomplishment of his will, he will work in us and through us both to will and to do.

Remember the time, Sabbath, July 5. Remember the purpose, to relieve the Christiania Publishing House of the remainder of its debt.

Remember that we do this as unto the Lord, and not unto men.

Remember that in paying this debt we are bearing testimony that we are willing to do unto others as we would like to have them do unto us.

Remember that the world measures the reality of our religious experience by what we do, rather than by what we say.

Hydrotherapy Lesson Omitted

By Editor

THE lesson in practical hydrotherapy is necessarily omitted this week, but we expect to resume the studies in the next issue. The classes which are taking up these lessons would do well to have a review of some of the principles previously presented.

Free Samples for Securing Subscribers

By Editor

It may be proper to state that our offer to send free sample copies of the REVIEW is intended to apply only to their use in securing new subscribers to the paper, and not to free distribution for general missionary purposes. We appreciate the interest which many are expressing in the circulation of the paper, and will gladly send sample copies free where they can be used to advantage in obtaining new subscribers.

Summer Assembly Announcement

A NEATLY printed Announcement of the Summer Assembly at Berrien Springs, Mich., has been issued, giving full information concerning the plans of work, schedule of studies, etc., etc. Parents and church officers, as well as teachers and conference officers, ought to be interested in this matter. A copy of the announcement will be forwarded on application to the President of Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Mich.

An Appeal for the Schools

By Editor

Just as we were closing up this paper, we received from California the article by Sister White, which is printed on each pages 20, 21. In order to make room for it in this issue, we found it necessary to omit the most of our Current Mention department, and also some of the matter in the Relief of the Schools department. We think that the importance of Sister White’s article justifies this action, and we urge all to read the appeal and to respond liberally.

Life in the Plan for Selling “Christ’s Object Lessons”

By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells

It was not until the last season of the week of prayer that I was thoroughly aroused to the plan of selling “Christ’s Object Lessons.” At that time I became deeply impressed with the meaning of this plan; and had the week of prayer been of benefit to me on this point only, it would have proved an occasion of great blessing and value. I have a great deal of sympathy for those who have not yet been aroused to the meaning of this movement. I do not feel to censure anyone, nor even to be impatient with anyone who does not realize the great possibilities of this undertaking, who does not value it, and is not aroused to earnest, zealous enthusiasm in the work. But I do most earnestly desire so to communicate the facts in regard to this great plan to every member of this denomination, that all may realize its meaning.

I believe that this plan is from God, and that it is full of possibilities and of blessings, and that this will be clearly demonstrated when the plan is fully carried out. I believe, too, that there is life for us in this plan. There is in it that which will create life in the individual, that which will be a stimulus to those who take part in it. It is not an artificial arrangement to create a boom. I would be afraid of the present movement if it were created by an artificial excitement or stimulus; for I would expect that when it had been raised to a certain pitch, and held there for a time, it would break, and collapse, and we should go down as far below our normal condition—and that is low enough, we all know—as we were raised by the unnatural, artificial stimulus.

But it is not after that order. God has given the plan, and his life is in it. I have no more fear of a collapse in this work, no more fear of its breaking down, and those who have been most earnest in it losing all heart and interest in this kind of work, than I have of an individual who partakes of good, healthful, nourishing food, falling below a natural physical condition, and having no power to work, and no further desire to eat. Healthful food and proper exercise do not operate that way. Good, healthful food, partaken of in the right quantity, and good, hard work strengthen the whole physical frame for toil, and produce a good appetite for another meal, and strength for more hard work.

And so it is in spiritual things. ‘Work done for God is a healthful stimulus to the spiritual nature. It increases spiritual strength and muscle, and gives one a keen relish for more service.

The work we are doing with “Christ’s Object Lessons” will prepare us for further missionary work. When we have finished the special work given us with this book, we must go on with earnest, aggressive work, meeting our fellow men, and placing in their hands other books containing the light they need. We have begun a march that must be kept up until we land on the other shore.

And so, brethren, we must go on with this blessed work; for it is a work that gives life, a work that brings means, a work that enlightens our fellow men, a work that makes a denomination sturdy and earnest, independent and energetic, faithful and zealous. Keep right on at work until God says it is done.

A. G. DANIELLS.
