Ohio Camp-Meeting

By E. K. Slade

THE Ohio conference and camp-meeting will be held on the fair-grounds in the city of Hamilton, Aug. 21-31, 1913. The opening meeting will convene at 7:30 P. M., Thursday, August 21, and the first session of the conference will be held at 10 A. M., Friday, August 22. We hope for a good attendance from the start. This is to be a meeting of great importance to the believers in Ohio, and we invite and urge our people throughout the State to attend. We should like all the young people to be present. Encourage your friends and neighbors to come. Especially shall we be glad to welcome the aged and the pioneers in the work at this great gathering in our conference.

Come well prepared for camp life. Let those who are able-bodied bring hammer and saw, and give some help, for it is a tremendous task to get the camp ready. Come early.

The usual arrangements will prevail on the camp-ground relating to tents, groceries, and meals, and the usual charges will be made. Orders for tents should be sent in immediately to the conference office, since no reservation will be made if otherwise placed. Any finding it impossible to attend who have previously ordered tents, should give notice not later than the opening date, that the tents may be rented to other parties without further delay. If reserved longer than the opening date, cash should accompany the order. Those who feel that they must have a room will be able to secure it after reaching the grounds. This will be better than to order ahead.

The railroad and traction facilities for reaching Hamilton are good. It will be easy to connect from other lines with the C. H. & D. Ry. and the Ohio Electric, which run through Hamilton. By inquiry and through our agents who will be at the leading trains, it will be easy to reach the fair-grounds. All baggage checks should be left with our agent at the station; or, if he is not there, the checks should be taken to the ground and given to our agent there.

We expect good help at this meeting from the General and Division Conferences. We may expect God's special blessing. Come, praying for and contributing to the success of the meeting. Though it is in the corner of the State, let all our churches plan for a large attendance. E. K. SLADE.

Obituaries

GUSTIN.—Myrtle Naomi Gustin was born at South Lancaster, Mass., March 9, 1910. Soon after this her parents removed to Lynden, Wash. She was an obedient child, and although so young, her mind was already being stored with God's Word. Her death occurred July 1, 1913. The writer spoke words of consolation at the funeral service. J. W. BOYNTON.

STRICKLER.—Julia Rebecca Strickler was born in Logan County, Ohio, May 24, 1850, and died in Columbus, Ohio, July 11, 1913. She became a Seventh-day Adventist thirty years ago, and continued faithful until death. She was married to Daniel Strickler in 1877. Three sons were born to this union. Sister Strickler suffered severely during her last illness, yet trusted God implicitly. Her only hope was in the life to come, and she fell asleep in Jesus. The funeral sermon was preached from 1 Cor. 13:12. JOHN FRANCIS OLMSTED.

BURR.—Orcott Burr was born at Copley, Ohio, Jan. 29, 1836, and died at Sparta, Wis., June 30, 1913, aged 77 years, 5 months, and 1 day. On March 13, 1861, he was married to Minerva Richardson. Five children were born to them, four of whom, with their mother, are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father and companion. The deceased had been a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for forty years, and the triumph and spread of the message were always a source of rejoicing to him. We laid our brother to rest to await the call of the Life-giver. W. S. SHREVE.

BECRAFT.—James S. Becraft was born at Crescent Mills, Cal., April 28, 1857, and died at his home in Seattle, Wash., June 9, 1913. He accepted present truth in 1892, and being desirous of doing service for the Master, attended Elder W. M. Healey's Bible class in Portland, Oregon. In 1895 he was married to Miss Emma Comer, who, with an only son, survives him. Four brothers and a sister also mourn their loss. Brother Becraft died fully trusting all to his blessed Lord, whom he confidently expected to meet on the resurrection morning. At his request the writer, who was instrumental in turning his heart to God, preached the funeral sermon from Job 14:10. S. W. NELLIS.

WEATHERFORD.—Eva Weatherford, née Cardy, was born Aug. 9, 1877, in Waterloo, Wis., and died June 28, 1913, at Duquoin, Ill. She was baptized at the age of eleven years in the present truth by Elder Isaac Sanborn, and was an earnest, faithful Christian in every detail of life, loving her Lord and making his service her first duty. May 11, 1898, she was married to W. F. Weatherford, of Athens, Ala. Her husband, her mother, Mrs. J. H. Cardy, four brothers, and four sisters are left to mourn; also the brethren and sisters of the Duquoin church, by whom she was greatly loved for her faithfulness in God's service. We feel confident that she sleeps in Jesus and awaits the soon coming of the Life-giver. Dr. W. C. Dalbey conducted the funeral services, using as words of comfort Rev. 14:13. MRS. ELIZA GRAHAM.

PLANK.—David Plank was born in Brookfield, Pa., May 31, 1842, and died at Sunderlinville, June 26, 1913, after a lingering illness of many years. Some thirty-five years ago he first heard the message of a soon-coming Saviour, and although a cripple, successfully disposed of one thousand copies of "Coming King." He leaves a companion and two children to mourn their loss, but they sorrow in hope. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. I. N. WILLIAMS.

RICHARDSON.—Mrs. Nancy J. Richardson died at the home of her daughter, in Mansfield, Ohio, from the infirmities of age. She was born in Lawrenceburg, Tenn., April 7, 1831. She was married to A. O.

Her companion and two children are left to mourn. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Prof. N. W. Lawrence. J. W. LAIR.

JACKSON.—Mrs. D. M. Jackson, aged 53 years, 2 months, and 16 days, died at her home near Keene, Tex., June 22, 1913. Sister Jackson was born in Pike County, Alabama. She was religiously inclined from her youth, and the labors of Elder R. M. Kilgore led her and her husband into this truth about eighteen years ago. After the removal of the family from Alabama to Texas, Sister Jackson was a faithful member of the Keene church. In her life, as well as in her dying hours, she witnessed for Jesus with a heart ever yearning for the salvation of those about her. The funeral services were conducted by Elder W. A. McCutchen, and she was laid to rest to await the coming of her Saviour. E. W. CAREY.

Business Notice

By C. C. Lewis

FOR SALE.—Having been called by the General Conference to take charge of the Fireside Correspondence School, I offer for sale my home, "Bide-a-Wee," one mile west of the Pacific Union College, St. Helena, Cal. No more desirable location could be secured for a family desiring to send their children to a good school embracing all grades of work from primary to college. For particulars, address C. C.

YOUR KINDERGARTEN DEPARTMENT

IS THE KINDERGARTEN DEPARTMENT of your Sabbath-school supplied with the material necessary to teach the little folks Scripture lessons in a manner to make the lesson interesting to them, so that the study period will be one of joy, which will be looked forward to eagerly from one Sabbath to the next, and at the same time help in making the Scripture lesson practical? If not, you should send at once for the full kindergarten outfit. This outfit consists of the lesson book, "Bible Object Lessons and Songs for Little Ones" on the life of Christ, and a round table with little red chairs, as shown in the illustration above, and three boxes of material. Read the following description: The book contains illustrative material for mothers and teachers. It has fifty-two lessons, one for each Sabbath in the year. It contains thirty-nine songs and hymns, written especially for these lessons. It has thirty-six full-page pictures, size 6 x 9 inches. It has fifty-two pen drawings, showing how to use the illustrative material. The book contains 160 large pages, beautifully printed.

Once bought, this is permanent, being designed for use year after year. Your school should have one copy of this book for each teacher in the Kindergarten Department. Let the first lessons for every child be on the life and words of Jesus. No child lessons can equal those by and about the Master. It pays to make religious instruction delightsome instead of irksome.

THE ROUND TABLE has a beautiful hard top, folding legs, and inside cabinet with lock for material. Seats seven children and the teacher. Advantages of these are: First, each child can reach center of table to help build the lessons. Second, teacher can reach every child. Third, table is heavy, so material is not easily shaken down. Fourth, can be folded and rolled away, so that any room may be used if none is permanently devoted to the kindergarten work. Fifth, table is varnished, easily cleaned, and lasts a lifetime.

EIGHT LITTLE RED CHAIRS for the class and the teacher are a delight to the children, and add to the convenience of the round table. The THREE BOXES OF MATERIAL make teaching easy. Boxes 1 and 2 contain hard maple blocks cut into cubes, halves, quarters, squares, and oblongs. Boxes are of cherry, dove-tailed corners, sliding top, durable. Box 3 contains 10 miniature sheep, 30 mounted sticks to represent people (10 of them children), green French tissue-paper for Sea of Galilee, cones and domes, and green splints for river outline and tree-building. If the three boxes are ordered with book, purchaser receives free a "Portfolio of Blackboard Sketches on the Life of Christ," to aid in drawing.

THE PRICES.—The book is issued in two styles of binding, board cover, $1.50; blue cloth, $2.00. The little red chairs, 60 cents each, freight or express extra. The table (weight 40 pounds), $5.50, freight or express extra. Three boxes of material, $2.00, mail 40 cents extra. If the book and material are ordered with the table, they are put into the drawer, thus saving postage.

The blocks, table, and chairs being practically indestructible, very little expense is necessary in the running of the Kindergarten Department after the first fitting up. The children take great delight in helping to build these lessons, and the impressions thus made remain with them as long as they live. This kindergarten outfit will be a great blessing to your Sabbath-school.

ORDER FROM YOUR CONFERENCE TRACT SOCIETY

Mission and Bible Teachers’ Institute News

LAST week Brother R. C. Raff, who spent the winter at the Foreign Mission Seminary, left New York for Porto Rico, to continue book work in the island. He had formerly labored there, but was reappointed to the same field at the General Conference. Brother Wm. Steele, superintendent of the mission, accompanied him, Sister Steele remaining a few weeks longer in the States among friends.

THERE has just closed at Takoma Park a Bible teachers' institute, which has been in session since the close of the General Conference. This institute was designed particularly for the benefit of the Bible teachers in our schools. The following teachers have been in attendance either the whole or a part of the time: O. A. Johnson, Walla Walla College; E. J. Hibbard, Pacific Union College; J. A. L. Derby, Lodi Normal School; J. F. Harder, Clinton German Seminary; J. N. Anderson and C. Sorenson, Foreign Mission Seminary; N. S. Ashton, Mount Vernon College; O. F. Butcher, South Lancaster Academy; W. H. Wakeham, Emmanuel Missionary College; H. S. Prener, Keene Academy; H. C. Lacey, Union College. The institute for the most part was under the direction of Prof. H. R. Salisbury. The forenoons were given to Bible study, the discussion of methods of teaching, etc. The afternoons and evenings were devoted to personal study and research work in connection with the libraries of Washington. These brethren all feel that the institute was a profitable season, and return to their schools with new courage and inspiration for the year to come.

Destructive Storm in Washington

By Editor

A DESTRUCTIVE wind-, rain-, and hailstorm visited Washington, D. C., on the afternoon of July 30. The storm broke with very little warning, almost out of a clear sky. The wind attained a velocity of nearly seventy miles an hour with cyclonic tendency. Three persons were killed, and more than a score injured. It is estimated that the loss to property through the unroofing of buildings, blowing in of plate-glass windows, etc., will amount to upward of one million dollars. The storm was not widely felt outside of the area of the District, ten miles square, but was probably the most destructive that has ever visited this section of the country. Although lasting only about one-half hour, it produced much consternation, and loss as indicated above. These disasters, great and small, will increase as time proceeds. They show the abnormal conditions which will exist in the earth. They are forerunners of the great day of destruction. Happy is the man who in the times before us, in the destruction that will come upon the world, has God for his trust and can say with the psalmist, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."

Colporteurs for Fields Abroad

By N. Z. Town

At the recent General Conference very urgent calls for experienced colporteurs were made by some of the delegates from abroad. The British brethren asked for six good men for Ireland, as Americans can work in that island with less opposition than can the English workers; India asked for four good men; China pleaded for at least three. Other earnest requests came from Spain, Mexico, South America, and the West Indies. To meet the most urgent of these calls the General Conference wishes to place ten experienced colporteurs under appointment at the Foreign Mission Seminary at the opening in September.

At the General Conference in 1909 a very urgent request was made for a good man to take charge of the colporteur work in China. Notwithstanding that very earnest efforts were made to secure this man, they were unavailing until the General Conference Council held in Mountain View in January of this year. At that time Brother F. E. Stratton, field agent of Minnesota, responded to the call. He and Sister Stratton spent the latter part of the school year at the Foreign Mission Seminary, and also attended the General Conference.

After Brother Stratton had his goods all packed and shipped to Chicago, he found that he is unable to go, on account of a physical disability which has recently developed. This makes it necessary for the Publishing Department to secure, if possible, another man to go to China as general agent. The General Conference has already appropriated the money for the support of this worker, and the Chinese brethren have shown their faith in getting a man by building him a house, which is now waiting for him. We therefore appeal to the experienced bookmen in this country to give this matter serious consideration, with the prayer that the Lord will put the burden upon the man who ought to go. The secretary of the General Conference Publishing Department will be glad to hear from those who are willing to respond to any of these calls.

Medical Missionaries Begin Work in Baltimore

By Editor

For a long time opportunities for medical missionary work in the large city of Baltimore, Md., have made insistent appeal to physicians acquainted with the situation. After earnest consideration, Drs. H. N. and P. S. Sisco have decided to take up work in that important center. They left Washington last week for their new field. These physicians have spent several years in Washington in earnest work in connection with our institutions, and have made many warm friends. They will find, we believe, in the great city where they locate many opportunities for Christian service, and we pray that they may have divine guidance in all their labors, and that the Lord may make their connection with the work in that city a strength to the company of believers who are endeavoring to hold up the banner of truth. Sister D. T. Bourdeau, the mother of Mrs. Sisco, who by her long years of faithfulness, and kindly Christian spirit, has greatly endeared herself to many friends, accompanies the family to their new field.

Workers Return to the Brazilian Field

ELDER F. W. SPIES and John Lipke passed through Washington last week, returning to Brazil. About fourteen workers (counting the wives) are preparing to leave for Brazil the first of September, recruits much needed in the large Brazilian field just over the equator to the south of us. The brethren return to their field much encouraged by the liberal response made to their plea for help.

Sister Caviness Returns to Mexico

SINCE the close of the General Conference Sister G. W. Caviness, of Mexico, has been spending her time in the States, taking necessary treatment and rest in recuperating her health and strength. The last month she has spent with her son, Prof. L. L. Caviness, at Takoma Park, D. C. She left for Mexico last week, sailing from New York.

Workers Sent to the Malaysian Mission Field

JUNE 14 Brother and Sister J. Van de Groep left Australia for Singapore, where they go in response to the call of the General Conference for more workers in the needy Malaysian mission field. Thus fields outside of the United States contribute from time to time their quota of workers for the world-wide work.
