In 1869 he and his wife moved to Iowa. Soon after this the Sabbath truth and kindred points of faith were accepted, through reading. He was a subscriber of the REVIEW AND HERALD for about twenty years. Though often sorely straitened by the hardships of pioneer life, his home was always open to strangers. His sons, Andrew H. and Charles F. Wilcox, conducted the funeral service. The scriptures used were Isaiah 57 and Proverbs 2. He was laid to rest Feb. 9, 1902, to await the coming of the Life-giver. ELVA GRACE WILCOX.

Special Scandinavian Issues Orders Near 20,000 Copies

By Editor

We are now nearing the 20,000 mark in the orders received for our special issues of the Swedish and Danish papers. One State, Iowa, has decided to use at least 5,000 copies of each; and if present intentions are carried out, it will require about 10,000 of each. We hope that other States largely settled by Scandinavians, will do as well. New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, California, Oregon, and Washington are the States where a great work could be done with these issues, and we trust that our workers in these States will lay their plans broad for efficient missionary work with these periodicals. No better opportunity has ever offered itself to give them a wide and favorable publicity. We hope that not only 50,000 copies will be circulated, but many more.

Community Health Dinners

By David Paulson

We must utilize every legitimate opportunity to reach our fellow men. The example of Christ emphasizes this. He not only preached to the people in the synagogue, but he also attended the marriage feast at Cana. He sat down with the other guests at the publican’s dinner, and entered into the family spirit in that humble home in Bethany.
We have found that one good way to become acquainted with an excellent class of people is to invite them to a health-food banquet. We commend this idea to those of our institutions that have not yet tried it, and also to many of our people who could do the same in a smaller way.
Recently our new Hygienic Café in Milwaukee served two such meals in one day. The first one was to the general secretaries of the Y. W. C. A., who were holding a convention in the city at the time. There were nearly forty young ladies present, representing twenty-two States. It was a splendid opportunity to sow good seed in good soil. They enjoyed the dinner, and gave the closest attention to the after-dinner talk on the relation between diet and development of character.
At the close of business hours another dinner was served to some of Milwaukee’s leading business men and their wives. It was a rare opportunity to get our principles before a class of people whom it would have been difficult to reach in any other way. A few months ago Brother Dowsett, the conference secretary, became convinced that the time had come to do definite medical missionary work in Milwaukee. So he invested his own means, and encouraged some of the brethren to do the same, and with the co-operation of the Medical Missionary Board, there has been opened up one of the most attractive hygienic cafés and treatment rooms that we have seen. Both of these departments are already patronized by some of the best citizens of the place. Should not some of our leading brethren in other places plan to co-operate in doing this work?
Let us each ask ourselves if we have done all we can to benefit the people living in our community.
DAVID PAULSON.

Death of Brother F. J. Hutchins in Colombia

By Editor

We are deeply grieved to learn of the death of Brother F. J. Hutchins, our faithful worker in Colombia, South America, which occurred August 4. Full particulars will be given next week.

Return of Kellogg, Daniels, and Palmer from Europe

By Editor

Dr. J. H. Kellogg and Brethren A. G. Daniels and E. R. Palmer arrived in Battle Creek last week after an absence of between three and four months in Europe. Brother H. W. Cottrell came with the other delegates two weeks earlier. We are glad to greet these brethren again, and to learn from them of the progress of the work in other lands.

Tract "The Coronation" Issued From Trinidad

BRETHREN W. G. Kneeland and Geo. F. Enoch, of the island of Trinidad, West Indies, have issued an eight-page tract, with a neat cover, which deals with the general subject of the kingdom, and the restoration of all things, under the title of “The Coronation.” A ten-thousand edition was printed, and we hope the attention of many was thus attracted to this important subject.

Canadian Union Conference to Hold First Session

The last of the union conferences to be organized was the Canadian Union Conference, which embraces in its territory Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime Provinces, and Newfoundland. This conference will hold its first session at Waterloo, Quebec, September 10-15, in connection with the Quebec camp-meeting, which is appointed for September 4-14.

Mount Vernon Academy Issues Tenth Annual Calendar

THE management of the Mount Vernon Academy, located at Mount Vernon, Ohio, has issued its tenth annual calendar containing full information about the institution and its work. The total enrollment of the academy last year was one hundred and eight, and we learn that the outlook for next year’s attendance is good. A copy of the calendar can be obtained by addressing the principal, Prof. James W. Loughhead, Academia, Ohio.

Bulletin of the European Union Conference, London 1902

WE have just received a copy of the “Bulletin of the European Union Conference, held in London, May 15–25, 1902.” It is a pamphlet of eighty-four pages, containing a report of the proceedings of the conference, together with full abstracts of many of the reports, sermons, studies, and talks given during the conference. From the perusal of this bulletin it is evident that the meeting was an interesting and profitable one, which will mean much for the advancement of the work in the European field.

The Advocate for October

By Editor

It was voted by the educational conference to publish a synopsis of the proceedings of this meeting, and the Advocate was requested to give space to this matter. Consequently the columns of the October issue will be devoted to this subject. Some of the most intensely interesting matter on the educational question yet published will appear in this synopsis.
Many Sabbath schools are already supplied with the Advocate, but no Seventh-day Adventist should fail to read this special issue. Place it in the hands of your neighbors that they may know why Seventh-day Adventists take their children from the public schools. Orders should be in by September 10. Price for this enlarged number, 5 cents. Address, The Advocate, Berrien Springs, Mich.

South Lancaster Academy

By Frederick Griggs

SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY is not to be sold. The matter was thought of and considered at the time of the sale of the sanitarium; but the way did not seem clear to sell the school. Many of our people have obtained the idea that the school was to be moved with the sanitarium; and for fear that this idea might affect the attendance at the school, I take this means of saying that the school is not to be sold. We are planning to have a most excellent school at South Lancaster.
I wish to call special attention again to the plans which are being laid for our commercial work. We are changing some of the rooms in the academy building, so that they will be adapted to this work, and all the work in this department will be more effective. I wish also to call attention to the church-school work and the need of teachers. It now looks as though we should not have teachers enough for the schools that plan to open this year. Our young people who have any gift or calling in the direction of teaching should consider this work.
Since my connection with the academy, the outlook for the school was never more encouraging. It is not too late to plan to attend the school. Let all come who should. FREDERICK GRIGGS.
