Earlier text: Relation of Parents to Teachers

Notes

On December 9 the total enrolment of Union College, College View, Neb., had reached five hundred three.

Prof. J. B. Clymer, president of Mount Vernon College, has been elected chairman of the Department of Education of the new Columbia Union.

The names of M. E. Kern and E. R. Palmer have been recently added to the Department of Education by action of the General Conference Committee.

The Educational number of Life and Health for October is never too old to read and reread. It contains most excellent and helpful matter for parents and teachers.

Prof. M. E. Kern met with the students and teachers of South Lancaster Academy during the week of prayer, and Elder W. A. Spicer was with the Mount Vernon College.

The church-school building at Takoma Park, Washington, D. C., was dedicated on Sabbath, December 7, with appropriate exercises. The Takoma Park church holds its regular services in this building.

The Southern Training-School, Graysville, Tenn., is conducting a course of six or seven lectures during this school year. These lectures are of a nature that will be helpful and inspiring to the young men and women preparing for life's work.

Prof. Kenneth R. Haughey, principal of Mount Ellis Academy, Bozeman, Mont., reports that their school has thus far raised sixteen dollars in pledges and cash to assist on the fund for the establishment of a training-school in the Latin Union Mission Field.

At a recent meeting of the Department of Education held at Takoma Park, D. C., some changes and additions were made to the text-book committee. The committee now stands: Chairman, Frederick Griggs; Secretary, M. E. Kern; other members, M. E. Cady, B. E. Huffman , Miss Sarah E. Peck, Mrs. Fannie D. Chase, Mrs. Sarah J. Hall, Mrs. N. H. Druillard, Mrs. Flora H. Williams, and H. R. Salisbury.

Brother G. E. Johnson, principal of the Meadowglade Intermediate School, located at Manor, Wash., says: “About fifteen candidates have presented themselves for the baptismal service which takes place to-morrow, December 17. Nearly all the other students are members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Our enrolment has reached nearly one hundred.”

Brother H. M. Hiatt, superintendent of the Department of Education of the Kansas Conference, says of their work: “We have twenty-three schools, all told. Four or five are small; one is a family school. Some of the schools have an enrolment of thirty-five or forty pupils. There are, in all, three hundred seventy pupils, seventy of whom are above the seventh grade. All the schools seem to be doing very nicely.”

On November 30 the school board of the Chicago schools voted not to have the Bible read in the public schools of that city. A resolution favoring Bible reading was tabled after the report of the subcommittee, composed of Dr. Alfred Cohn, J. Addams, head of Hull House, and Miss Anita McCormick Blaine. “The non-sectarian character of our schools is one of the most precious possessions,” said Miss Addams. “On this ground we are putting ourselves on record.”

The manuscript of the Teachers’ Manual, authorized by the last educational convention, held at College View, is in the hands of the publishers, the Review and Herald. This promises to be the most helpful and complete manual which has been presented to our educational workers. It will be invaluable to all our teachers, and its many suggestions upon the question of education and training of children will make it a most indispensable aid for parents. It is hoped that it will be ready for distribution in February.

The Mission Board has prepared a Supplement to the “Outline of Missions.” This Supplement covers the work of the last two years. “The Outline of Missions” has been most helpful to many of our teachers in teaching geography from a missionary view-point, and they will be pleased to secure this Supplement, which brings the account of our missionary operations up to date. The “Outline” and the Supplement are both furnished free. They can be had, on request, of the Mission Board, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.

The students and teachers of South Lancaster Academy, on the evening of December 18, tendered to Prof. R. F. Cottrell and Mrs. Cottrell, a farewell reception in the assembly room of the young men’s dormitory, prior to their leaving for their new field of labor in China. Professor and Mrs. Cottrell were presented with an air mattress, two steamer rugs, and an autograph album. These good friends of the South Lancaster Academy are leaving with the sincere prayers and good wishes of all the friends of the school, for their safe journey and prosperous work in distant China.

The Northwestern Training-School

By B. C. Haak

This little school, located at Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada, numbers at present fifteen, and more are expected the coming week. We are glad to say that even though our numbers are few, the quality makes up for the quantity. If it had not been for the failure of the wheat crop in this region, every room in our building would now be occupied. Nevertheless, we thank God that he has opened the way for even these few to obtain an education that will enable them to become more efficient workers in this portion of the Lord's vineyard. All are working hard, and are making good progress, and the Lord is adding his choicest blessing.

Five of our students were engaged in the canvassing work the past season, and expect to enter it again after the school closes in the spring. They seem to have the true missionary spirit, and are anxious to help in every way possible in publishing abroad this truth.

The good meetings we had during the week of prayer were a great benefit to us. A deeper spirit of consecration was felt among us, and each expressed an earnest desire to have some part in this closing work. We thank God for this spirit among our students.

B. C. HAAK.

Religious Liberty Notes

JANUARY 11 has been appointed by the Colorado Conference as a day when each church should hold a religious liberty convention.

The program of the Religious Liberty day, of the Greater New York and New Jersey union workers’ meeting, December 24, was a decided success.

Elder R. C. Porter, president of the Southwestern Union Conference, writes: “We expect to make a vigorous effort to enlighten the people while these issues are on.”

Elder S. B. Horton, of New Orleans, La., writes: “The next Louisiana Legislature will be called upon to enact statutory prohibition and more stringent Sunday laws.”

The members of our churches in the District of Columbia have been thoroughly organized into small companies for the purpose of placing special literature on the question of religious liberty and prohibition in the hands of the citizens of Washington.

Elder J. W. Watt, of Indiana, Pa., writes that a lively Sunday-closing crusade is in progress in Indiana County, Pa., and that forty arrests have already been made. Now is the time to enlighten the people in that county on the true principles of religious liberty.

Begin to plan for Religious Liberty day, Sabbath, February 1, which has been appointed by the General Conference Religious Liberty Department. The annual collection on that day will be taken for the support of the department, and the prosecution of this important work.

Brother T. B. Westbrook, Religious Liberty secretary of the Western New York Conference, writes that he is doing what he can in this work. The Empire State is becoming a storm-center for Sunday-law enforcement. Further legislation may be expected. Supply your legislature with tracts.

The Christian temperance forces in the District of Columbia are to hold a joint meeting in this city, Jan. 15, 1908. We are cordially invited to participate, and inasmuch as it is a straight temperance issue without involving Sunday legislation, we will gladly join in this commendable movement.

The following is a list of the States whose legislators have been supplied with Liberty: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Washington. Let the conferences that do not appear in this list, take note, and supply Liberty at once to their legislators, and then be placed on the roll of honor.

Two men were tried at Iola, Kan., Nov. 14, 1907, for violation of the Kansas Sunday law. For lack of sufficient evidence the parties were not convicted. Our people improved the occasion by distributing reading-matter, and holding a mass-meeting, at which Elder Chas. Thompson spoke.

From an article by Brother James Cochran, which appeared in the Workers’ Record of November 20, it appears that there is a possibility, as one of the fruits of the Kansas City Sunday-Closing Crusade, that Judge Brumback may render a decision that will make void the provision in the Sunday law of Missouri that exempts Seventh-day Adventists from prosecution for Sunday work.

The Boston Journal of Nov. 11, 1907, quotes the following by Rabbi Charles Fleischer, with a brief comment, from his second address after deciding to conduct Sunday service in his synagogue: “We have just instituted a Sunday service to supplement that of the traditional day which you men find yourselves unable to attend. This service has been established not merely because I knew you need it, but because I believe you wanted it.” Notwithstanding the fact that the more orthodox leaders of the faith have criticized his innovation, Rabbi Fleischer will continue to hold the Sunday service. The orthodox seventh-day service will be held for the present the same as hitherto, but it is his firm belief that its abolishment is merely a question of time. This illustrates again the difficulty there is in attempting to keep the Sabbath or any other command of God without Christ.

South Carolina Institute

By C. F. Dart

A CANVASSERS' institute will be held at Greenville, S. C., 317 Buncombe St., Feb. 6-20, 1908.

To our faithful canvassers who expect to continue in the work, board, room, fuel, etc., will be free; also railroad fare to and from their territory.

We will be glad to have any who desire a spiritual feast to attend. Board may be had at fifteen cents a meal, and other expenses will be reasonable.

What to Bring

Bedding, Bible, “Hymns and Tunes,” “Coming King,” “Daniel and the Revelation,” “Story of Daniel,” “Seer of Patmos,” and “Ministry of Healing.”

All those coming are requested to notify the undersigned as soon as possible. It is a paying investment to give the canvassers a free institute. Of course this must be paid for from some source. We believe the brethren and sisters of South Carolina will gladly respond with donations for this purpose; also those in more favored conferences in the North who can not come themselves, but wish to help the work along in this needy field. Now is your opportunity. Send all donations to Mrs. R. T. Nash, Campobello, S. C., or to the undersigned, at 317 Buncombe St., Greenville, S. C.

C. F. DART, Field Missionary Agent.

Obituaries

Marchus.—Died at San Pasqual, Cal., Nov. 28, 1907, Dorothy Marchus, daughter of C. G. and Marie Marchus. While Dorothy tarried in this "vale of tears" for only seven months, her life was like a sunbeam, and every day was an inspiration to her parents and three little brothers. W. M. Healey.

Stearns.—Died at Lemoore, Cal., Aura J. Stearns, wife of L. J. Stearns, aged 41 years. She was sick only a few hours, dropping from apparently perfect health into the grave.

Sister Stearns accepted the truth under the labors of Brother Hilliard, and remained firm in the truth to the last. Funeral service was conducted by the writer. B. L. Howe.

Smith.—Died at San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 6, 1907, Rachel Smith, wife of O. P. Smith, of North San Juan, Cal., aged 64 years, 1 month, and 28 days. She was a Methodist before accepting present truth about fourteen years ago, at North San Juan. She was being taken to St. Helena Sanitarium, but collapsed at Oakland. Funeral service was held in the Methodist church at North San Juan, and as there was no Seventh-day Adventist minister at hand, the Methodist minister kindly officiated. *

Edgar, both my husband and myself accepted the third angel's message. He was a firm believer in present truth, and I believe that it is well with him. It was hard to part after walking life's journey together for forty-five years, but "He doeth all things well," and I have the blessed hope of meeting the loved one again in the first resurrection. Words of comfort were spoken from the text, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee," by Elder Rexford (Baptist). Mrs. G. W. Donaldson.

She was a loving and devoted wife and mother, beloved by all who knew her. She was the mother of nine children, eight of whom still survive. At the time of her death, she was visiting her children in Spokane. The remains were brought to Michigan for burial. The writer spoke words of comfort from 1 Cor. 15:26 and Rev. 14:13. W. C. Hebner.

Week of Prayer and Student Idea

By Editor

FROM many parts the reports come of excellent meetings during the week of prayer. It has been a season of refreshing, and it is hoped that the annual thank-offering to missions will also prove that God has specially blessed those who have sought him.

WE welcome to the family of our publications The Student Idea, published by the students of South Lancaster Academy. The undertaking is a laudable one, the publication a creditable one, and the REVIEW wishes it success.

Catholic Censorship After the Encyclical

As a result of the pope’s recent encyclical against “modernism,” the Catholic clergy of all countries are expected to establish and exercise a stricter censorship over the reading-matter that goes into the homes of the laity. This will naturally affect the circulation of religious books among Catholics, especially such books as show the place of that church in prophecy and the work it will do in the closing years of this dispensation; and this confirms the statement uttered some years ago to the effect that the work which we might have done in times of peace and quietness would have to be done under discouraging circumstances.

Arrival in Trinidad

Word comes from Elder I. H. Evans reporting his safe arrival in Trinidad, at the opening of the West Indian Union committee meeting in Port of Spain.

Church Elders’ Institute at Reading

By invitation of Elder W. H. Heckman, president of the East Pennsylvania Conference, Elder K. C. Russell attended the institute for church elders held at Reading, Pa., spending last Sabbath and Sunday with the other workers there.

Prof. M. E. Kern Visits Southern Union Conference

PROF. M. E. KERN, chairman of the Young People's Department, returned to Washington last week from a visit to South Lancaster Academy, and goes this week to attend the Southern Union Conference meeting at Nashville, Tenn., in the interests of the Young People's work.

Union Conference Meetings in Nashville

AFTER the general meetings in Mexico, Elders A. G. Daniells and W. C. White returned to the southern field, and are to be at the union conference meeting beginning this week in Nashville. Before returning to Washington, Elder Daniells will attend the meetings of the Pacific and North Pacific Union Conferences.

Prof. Griggs Visits Southern Conferences

Last week Prof. F. Griggs, chairman of the Educational Department, left Washington for the South. After visiting the Huntsville School, and doubtless Graysville, he expects to attend the Southern Union Conference meeting at Nashville, and later will attend the sessions of the union conferences on the Pacific Coast.

Special Oriental Watchman Prophecy Issue

The January issue of the Oriental Watchman (Calcutta, India) will be a special number treating upon the prophecies of Daniel, the second coming of Christ, the cleansing of the sanctuary, and the eastern question. This issue will be well illustrated, and will have a colored cover. It is the purpose of the publishers to make it the best issue of that journal ever published, and to give it the widest possible circulation throughout India.

North Pacific Union Conference Meeting

By Editor

THE date and place of the North Pacific Union Conference meeting were incorrectly given in our issue of December 19. That meeting will be held at College Place, Wash., January 31 to February 9, as per announcement on page 30 of this issue.

Bible Training School Special Numbers

DURING the year 1907, the Bible Training School issued one hundred sixty-five thousand copies of its special numbers. Most of these have been sold by a few agents, working in large cities. The good thus accomplished can not be determined by any means at our command, but the results will surely appear in the great day.

Atlantic Union Conference Reaches Quota

By Editor

A TELEGRAM from Elder E. W. Farnsworth received just as we were going to press conveys this good news: “Atlantic Union Conference out; remittance follows. Give us a star.” This is the second union conference to finish its quota on the $150,000 fund, and we hope we may soon have the privilege of adding others to the list.

Words of Appreciation for the Review

By Editor

It is a matter of much gratification to the editors of the REVIEW to receive from week to week, and from all parts of the field, words of appreciation for the paper. While it is impossible to acknowledge all these personally, we wish to assure our good friends that we appreciate these kind words of encouragement. It cheers us to know that the prayers of our readers are ascending for us that our weak endeavors may be blessed of God, and for the REVIEW that it may be his instrument to warn, to strengthen, and to guide.

The Religious Liberty Collection

By K. C. Russell

THE annual collection for the religious liberty work will be taken this year on Sabbath, February 1. This date has been fixed by the General Conference Committee. There will be a special religious liberty program prepared to be carried out in all our churches on that day. This program will be published in the next REVIEW.

We would urge that all do their best to make the services on February 1 the very best of the kind that have ever been held, by earnestly studying the true principles of religious liberty, and by making generous offerings to aid the Religious Liberty Bureau in its work of enlightening those who have never heard the warning message against the beast, his image, and his mark.

K. C. RUSSELL, Chairman Religious Liberty Bureau.
