Wisconsin

By Wm. Covert

PRENTICE.— I was at Prentice Sabbath and Sunday, July 12 and 13, associated with Elder H. W. Reed, holding some meetings. Brethren F. L. Kinne and B. L. Anderson conducted a tent meeting in that place last year, and previously to that time Sister Kinne and her son had been doing Bible work in the place. As a result of the labor performed, eight or ten persons began to keep the Sabbath, and other Sabbath keepers have moved into the neighborhood, so that we were enabled to organize a church of fourteen members. I think that seven of these had received letters from other churches. Three of these, however, came from one of our churches in western Illinois, so there are ten members of this church who had not previously belonged in the Wisconsin Conference.

The prospect seems good for others to unite with the company, especially if a proper amount of evangelistic work can be done there.

The Lord came very near in these services, and the church starts out with a good prospect before it. It is a source of rejoicing to see new churches added to our ranks. May all our people in the conference give their strength to the Lord's work so fully that many new congregations may be raised up during the year to come. Wm. Covert.

Central America

By H. C. Goodrich

BELIZE, BRITISH HONDURAS.— We are nearly settled now in our new home. We have rented a flat on one of the best streets in town. We were able to secure this at five dollars per month less than it was ever rented before. We have arranged a depository and tract society office, and also a reading room, which we plan to keep supplied with our papers and magazines for the public. We also have a room for our meetings, and hope to start a small school in the lecture room. Two are awaiting baptism here, and two more have begun the observance of the Sabbath recently, and others are interested.

At Half Moon Cay a young colored brother has had a school for the last year, and has shown good ability as a teacher. His school increased from twenty to fifty pupils; but the people paid so poorly that he was compelled to close it. I hope we shall be able to open it again soon. At Oak Ridge, where I have been holding meetings lately, we might have had a good school, which would have been appreciated; but another missionary has taken the matter in hand, and is building a schoolhouse, and a teacher from Mobile is expected soon. We believe that a good work will yet be done in this field, and are glad to be here.

H. C. GOODRICH.

News Notes

—Queen Wilhelmina is reported to be convalescing very slowly, and is still the object of considerable anxiety in court circles.

—A trip across the continent in four days is now made possible by the twenty-hour trains which are to be run between New York City and Chicago.

—Another automobile race has been held in Europe, the course being from Paris to Vienna. The casualties were one killed and four wounded.

—Crops in central Illinois, and in sections of Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota were badly damaged by wind and hail storms, July 16.

—Very hot weather prevailed in Paris on the occasion of the anniversary celebration of the fall of the Bastile, and five hundred cases of sunstroke occurred among the soldiers and spectators.

—An explosion of two powder magazines in a silver mine at Park City, Utah, July 16, caused great loss of life to men at work in the mine. Thirty-three bodies were recovered, after which the rescue bands were forced out of the mine by the accumulating gas. It is believed that about twenty more are dead in the mine galleries.

—The Chicago freight handlers' strike recently inaugurated cost the city $2,000,000 daily while it was in full effect, the loss falling principally on the merchants. The strike is now ended, the men receiving some advance in wages, but not the amount demanded by the union. On other contested points the victory appears to be with the railway companies.

—The Taft mission to Rome, it is now reported, has been a failure so far as its purpose concerning the removal of the friars is concerned, and it is announced that Governor Taft will soon sail for Manila, and that he has requested that the remaining negotiations be conducted there with some papal official whom the Vatican may designate. For the present, the negotiations are suspended. The friars, it is stated, will not be forcibly removed from the Philippines, but will be left to shift for themselves. There are about four hundred of these now at Manila, who have been driven out from their parishes, these being about four fifths of the whole number in the islands. They are at present supported by church funds.

—Bishop Slattery, of St. Joseph's Academy at Baltimore (Catholic), has created a sensation in Roman Catholic circles by the assertion, made recently at an ordination service, that the Roman Catholic Church is losing ground in the United States, since the census figures printed in the official Catholic directory show an increase in the last twelve years of only 2,675,390 communicants, which is 29,784 less than the Catholic immigration to this country in the same period. Among the comments following Bishop Slattery's assertion is the following from a "well-known priest" of Baltimore, whose name is not given: "The woeful phase of this revelation is the terrible increase of atheism. It is a fact that only a small portion of the Catholics fall away from the church by apostasy to the sects. They drop from the church into the ranks of atheists, and their children grow up absolutely godless."

—The profits of the steel trust for several months past, according to official figures which have been made public, are at the rate of $140,000,000 a year.

—At a recent session of the National Education Association a resolution was passed for the reading and study of the Bible as literature in the public schools.

—Minister Wu Ting Fang, about whom so much has been said in American papers during his residence in this country, has been succeeded as Chinese minister at Washington by Sir Liang Cheng. The new representative of the oriental empire is a Harvard graduate.

—A rise in the Mississippi River is threatening loss to farmers on the Missouri lowlands bordering the great stream for a distance of seventy-five miles. A further rise of eighteen inches will flood several hundred square miles of corn fields.

—The marquis of Salisbury resigned the premiership of Great Britain, July 11, and his nephew, Mr. Arthur Balfour, succeeds him at the head of the British government. Lord Salisbury has held the position of premier four times, covering a period of fifteen years.

—The oil field at Jennings, La., was swept by fire July 15, from the effects of a bolt of lightning, which struck a large oil-tank. The flames, fed by gas and oil, spread rapidly, and it became necessary to close the mouths of the oil wells in the vicinity with mud and water. Several companies suffered heavy loss.

—Among the reported happenings in “society” at Newport, where New York's “four hundred” are mostly to be found when the metropolis is “empty,” we note the mention of a recent dinner given by Mrs. Fish in honor of a pet monkey, and a rival entertainment presided over by Mrs. Jones, at which the table centerpiece was a stuffed coon mounted on a tree stump.

—A bitter feeling is reported to exist between factions of the Boers in South Africa, those who fought through to the end being very resentful toward those who helped the British forces during the last year of the fighting. Serious difficulties are arising out of this situation, and the work of readjusting affairs in the Transvaal and Orange River colonies promises to be a difficult undertaking.

—The barbers' union of Jersey City is endeavoring to suppress Sunday work by barbers there by taking proceedings under the “Vice and Immorality Act,” and recently eight barbers and two butchers were arrested as violators of this statute. Thus by human legislation honest labor is made vicious and immoral because performed at a certain time in the week, while at the same time loafing is made commendable.

—Some people in Chicago and elsewhere who have been eating berries recently shipped from Stevensville, Mich., are due to become ill with smallpox, according to reports from the latter place, the statement being that a number of crates of berries were shipped which had been picked by persons having smallpox in a very light form, which at first was mistaken for a mere rash. The health officer of the township states that the fruit picked by these persons is undoubtedly infected with smallpox germs.

—A telegram from Victoria, British Columbia, states that General Dorward, who was in command of the allied forces at Tientsin, has arrived from the Orient, and announces his belief that a war between Japan and Russia is certain unless Russia evacuates Manchuria.

—The chief chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington, Dr. Wiley, has advertised for about a dozen young men who are willing to be experimented on by eating foods supposed to be “doctored” with ingredients detrimental to health. By this means the Agricultural Department hopes to determine to what extent poisonous foods are manufactured and put upon the market in this country.

—A general break-up in the city government of Minneapolis is reported, Mayor Ames having gone to a health resort in Indiana, and the chief of police being in hiding, while other officers are either fugitives from justice or under arrest. A police reporter is acting mayor and chief of police, new officials have been sworn in to fill vacancies, and orders have been issued to close the saloons at midnight and shut up all gambling dens and dives.

—Reports of an eruption suggestive of a volcanic outbreak have been coming recently from Tulsa, I. T. Surveyors are said to have found large fissures in the sides of the hills through which gas is escaping under great pressure from beneath, while from the top of the highest hill large bowlders are ejected and scattered over the surrounding land. It is believed that a great gas and oil field has been discovered, but residents in the vicinity are reported to be viewing the situation with considerable apprehension.

—Professor Wagner, the city architect of Venice, Italy, is reported as expressing a conviction that practically the whole of this celebrated city is doomed to destruction. An investigation which was started by the recent collapse of the Sansovino tower and campanile, or bell tower, of St. Mark's cathedral, discloses, he says, that the subsoil has deteriorated, and that the piles and pillars on which the buildings rest are rotten, and unable much longer to withstand the pressure. Shrinkages and sinking in the subsoil have been observed for years, but it was not thought until recently that serious damage to the city might result.

—A possible indication of what church services are coming to in this age of inventions and religious degeneracy, is shown by the following press item from Washington, Ind., dated on a recent Sunday: “The fight between rival telephone companies evolved the idea of placing transmitters in all the Protestant churches in this city, so that patrons of the Central Union Company can ‘cut in’ on any ‘church line,’ and hear the sermon and services. This new scheme was given a test to-night, and proved a success, although none but the Christian church was properly connected. Throughout the city and county people were at their ’phones, listening to the sermon delivered by the Rev. J. F. Floyd. The transmitter is placed in the pulpit, and is so arranged that the minister's voice and the choir singing can be heard distinctly by those who are unable or unwilling to attend church. The local ministers are highly pleased with the new scheme, claiming that it gives them a wide field of labor.”

Shall the Work Be Done?

By I. J. Hankins

I HOPE no one is getting tired of hearing about the work with “Christ’s Object Lessons.” As a people, we never engaged in a more worthy enterprise. The Lord has directed the movement, and has called every individual into active service. If we believe the Testimonies, we cannot for a moment question this; but it is evident that all have not responded to the Lord’s call; some perhaps, like the twenty-two thousand of Gideon’s army, are fearful, faint-hearted, and choose to remain at home. Maybe they are waiting for a sign, as did Gideon,—for the dew to wet the fleece, but leave the ground dry, and vice versa. Now the call to Gideon was just as distinct and just as imperative without these signs as with them. To my mind, the necessity for the additional sign was an evidence of unbelief on the part of Gideon.

It would be well for every one carefully to consider what God has said about the work with “Christ’s Object Lessons.” Read the chapter in “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. VI. Study it. Consider it a letter to yourself, for that is what it is.

This good work is now going forward in all parts of the United States, and in many other countries as well. We have committed ourselves to a definite work, a work which God in his goodness and wisdom has planned for us, not an impossible work, not a work causing hardship, but a work attended by his special blessing, and in which blessed fruits will appear. I. J. HANKINS.

_Good News from Upper Columbia Conference_

By A. J. Breed

We have started upon the campaign for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and as far as the work has gone, good reports are coming in. It was quite impossible for us to take up the work until the close of our camp meeting. At the time of the Union Conference at Portland, our laborers were all in new fields; and several of them had interests upon their hands which they could not leave, so we proposed to have all the work close up at the camp meeting, and no work planned except that for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” This left all the laborers free to take hold of the work from that time; and they have gone into the field with good courage, each one becoming responsible for the number and amount of books in his district. The conference has been divided, and a minister placed in charge of each district; and as far as I have heard, good work is being done.

I hope that the Upper Columbia Conference may not come behind in any good work. Although we are a little late in starting, yet I trust, with the blessing of God, to bring up the rear with flying colors. A. J. BREED.

Recognizing the Voice

By F. D. STARR

In the parable of the Good Shepherd, John 10, the Saviour states that the sheep know the Shepherd's voice. This hour of course is very necessary. It seems that the voice of the great enemy of the flock is sometimes discernible. While I was canvassing a German man and his wife recently for “Christ's Object Lessons,” the woman said, “I want that book, but the devil tells me not to take it.” I thought she frankly told in German what is also many times true in plain English. But many do not seem to recognize as readily as this person did the source from which this persuasion comes. It “cometh not of him that calleth you.” Gal. 5:8. If the voice were recognized, the suggestions would be shunned with horror, and the good impulses and noble deeds that Satan wishes to check would be more promptly executed. The woman added: “I am not a converted person, and if there is anything in that book that will help me to be saved, I want it.” She seemed like a struggling captive, who recognized that the enemy did not want her to become free indeed.

The same devil who was exposed by this open-hearted Teuton is trying to keep thousands from buying “Christ's Object Lessons.” What shall we do about it? F. D. STARR.

Phenomenal Sales of “Christ’s Object Lessons” in Iowa

By L. F. Starr

DURING the first two weeks of May we sold more of these books than we had sold during the past year, and the work has been prospering since that time. Some one in nearly every church in the State is out selling “Christ’s Object Lessons” daily. Many who thought they could do nothing are having grand success. I have been in the front ranks, now trying to advance the work. We have had excellent meetings wherever we have gone. Nearly all the people throughout the State are engaging in this work, and we expect to have our full quota sold before camp meeting. Some of the churches have nearly finished their work. L. F. STARR.

Churches Sell Christ’s Object Lessons

THE churches at Arcadia and Loup City, Neb., have sold their entire quotas of “Christ’s Object Lessons.”

Minnesota Distributes Object Lessons

NEARLY all the six thousand copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” assigned to Minnesota have been placed in the hands of the brethren.

Graysville Takes Its Book Quota

THE church at Graysville, Tenn., consisting of one hundred and seventy-five members, has voted to assume the obligation of selling its entire quota of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” amounting to more than one thousand books in all. They are determined to finish their work by Jan. 1, 1903.

A Rare Chance for Obtaining the Back Volumes of the Review

By D. T. Bourdeau

I HEREBY offer for sale for less than their cash value the seventy-seven back volumes of the REVIEW. These are all bound except a few of the last volumes, and are a mine of information on the rise and progress of the cause of present truth, and on doctrinal and practical themes which are held so dear by our people.

Arrangements for Sanitarium Visitors

Notice!

The undersigned wish to state to the public that it is absolutely necessary that those who are planning to come to the Sanitarium or the Medical Missionary College, should write in advance of coming, and make necessary arrangements. It is not sufficient simply to write, giving notice of coming, but arrangements should actually be made with those in charge of the work. It has for several years been customary for those who had friends at the Sanitarium to write and notify their friends of their coming. Such a notice is not adequate, and the management of the institution desire to say that, after this date, they cannot receive any with the exception of those with whom they have previously corresponded. SANITARIUM.

Army and Navy Maneuvers

WHEN one reads about the “approaching army maneuvers,” his thoughts turn instinctively to some one of the Old World military powers which comprise the vast armed camp of Europe, where the mustering of armed hosts and the clang and din of armies playing at war are familiar sights and sounds. But now that the United States has joined the “war concert” of the nations, army and navy maneuvers in imitation of battle are not to be confined to the Old World. The Western republic will henceforth play at war like the other world powers. Very truthfully is it stated, in the announcement of this, which comes from Washington, that “nothing just like the joint army and navy maneuvers which will take place next month in Narragansett Bay have ever before been seen in this country.”

Then follows this description:—

As the plans are elaborated, they provide for one of the most interesting military games ever known, and the navy is to demonstrate its ability to make a sudden attack on the fortified posts without enabling the army to concentrate for its defense. On the other hand, the army, through the signal service, expects to be able to determine the presence of the attacking fleet in sufficient time not only to make use of the great guns, but also to concentrate so as to prevent a landing.

The Long Island coast and Sound have been selected as the scene of action, and “the line of defense will extend from the eastern entrance of Long Island Sound to Fort Rodman, at New Bedford. The navy is to be permitted to make its attack at any point, and the descent on the coasts is likely to be made on any one of two or three different nights. It will be the duty of the army to see that the line of defense is completely manned,” etc. “Umpires on the ships and the shore will determine whether the attacking or the defending party has the better of the great game.”

To be “like the nations” was Israel’s ruin; and the great republic, which, like Israel, was providentially separated from the nations, is now following her example.
