THERE is nothing more inspiring than progress, achievement, success. To feel assured that our labor is not in vain in the Lord; to see the cause of truth gaining both in velocity and in momentum; to be conscious of the blessed fact that the faith which worked in the dark for years is now reaping its reward,—how reassuring and blessed the experience is!
The long time of working, hoping, trusting, and believing without seeing satisfactory results, doubtless had its lessons for us which we all needed; but now that the Lord is giving a more abundant harvest, we are glad and greatly rejoice.
From every country on the globe where the third angel's message is being proclaimed, the distribution of our literature is greatly increasing in volume. The printed page is now, as of old, the19sharpest and swiftest sickle in the gospel harvest-field.
Notes from Foreign Lands
The Hamburg Publishing House reports a rapidly increasing work in all languages. In that one printing-office they are publishing the message in fifteen different tongues.
Australasia reports a steadily increasing work. The Signs of the Times Publishing Association of Australia has dropped all commercial work, and yet the denominational work has so increased that they have been unable to supply the demands from the field.
In all the Spanish mission fields the sale of publications is rapidly increasing. Better books, better organization, and a new thirst for something better than the Catholic Church has given them, are the reasons for this revival.
The good word comes to us from Chile that the circulation of the Spanish Signs of the Times has greatly increased since the Valparaiso earthquake, the circulation per issue now being about eighty-five hundred.
At a recent meeting in Central China steps were taken to build a small publishing house, and equip it with the needed facilities. A publishing committee has been appointed from among the workers in China to direct in bringing out the literature.
A small printing plant has recently been established in Singapore, and a paper is being published there in the Malaysian language.
We have just received a copy of “His Glorious Appearing” in Portuguese, printed, bound, and published by our little publishing house in Brazil.
In the United States
Many good things might also be said of the progress of the work here in the United States. Our activities abroad give us vitality at home.
The institutes recently held in our schools in South Lancaster, Mass.; College View, Neb.; Walla Walla, Wash.; Healdsburg, Cal.; Fernando, Cal.; and Keene, Tex., together with many intermediate schools, are reported by the general agents as having been the largest held for many years, and in many cases the largest ever held.
Union College has sent about one hundred students into the canvassing field this spring, and Keene, South Lancaster, Healdsburg, and several others about forty or fifty each.
Permanent Canvassers
Many of our field agents are realizing that they must have a larger force of permanent workers. They rejoice that they can get such a fine number of students from the schools, but these workers can remain in the field only about three months. Besides these we must have a large permanent force, and the field agents are getting right down to business and getting them. And besides their efforts, the Spirit of God is calling many of mature years and experience, and many of the old, successful canvassers, into the field.
In Kansas they had thirty-five good agents in the field before they secured the contingent of eighteen from Union College. We confidently look for some good reports from there this summer.
A New Record
We believe that a new record has been made by a student in Healdsburg College. During the institute he went out20canvassing in the town between classes, and in sixty hours he sold two hundred and sixty dollars' worth of the new health book, “Home and Health,” thus earning a scholarship before the close of the institute. He is now attending camp-meeting, and is doing successful work canvassing between meetings.
The Signs of the Times
The circulation of the Signs has more than doubled during the past month. The list now stands at 43,500. What a good sharp sickle this Special Series is!
The Summary
Our summary has dropped a trifle this month, owing to our not receiving the report from England.
The summaries for the first four months of 1906 and 1907 compare as follows:—
1906 1907
January .......... $21,000 $26,325
February ........ 15,000 26,369
March ........... 18,000 36,253
April ........... 23,700 35,276
Strive for Perfection
Dear fellow workers, the Lord is good to us all, and is giving the success for which we have so earnestly worked and prayed for years. Now let us keep in the light, and be faithful to God and to his work. Let us do our work perfectly with his help, so that it may grow stronger and stronger until it is finished.
Remember the little things as well as the greater ones. Faithfulness means full days, full weeks, and full years of labor. It means the thorough working of our territory, a pure influence before the world, economy in living, honest business methods, and regular, honest reports of work done.

Schlesien and Posen, Germany
By J. H. Schilling
THE work of the Lord for this generation is going forward in this field also. We can say that God is leading, and is giving us ample evidence of his constant presence with us.
Since the first of January of this year these two provinces form a conference of four hundred and sixty members. This conference has an area about equal to that of Pennsylvania, and a population of about seven million five hundred thousand. Our working force consists of two ordained ministers, the writer included, two licentiates, and six Bible workers. Two of these workers are located in Posen, the others in Schlesien. About one third of the population of this field consists of Polish Catholics. These people are very hard to reach, first, because we have no workers who can give the truth in their language, and second, because they are fanatically attached to their church. Hence it is a hard field, and demands much earnest and patient labor. By God's grace, however, the work goes nevertheless. Since this conference has been organized, we have been gladdened by the addition of sixty-four souls to our number. Ten of these were gained in Ober Schlesien, the very heart, one might say, of Polish Catholicism, where every step is watched with an eagle eye, and where every service, to a certain extent, is under the watchfulness of the city authority, the authorities being constantly stirred up against the services by the priests. Baptism has to be administered as far as possible in secret. Hence, notwithstanding the fact that this part of Schlesien is a part of so-called free Prussia, the police authorities being chiefly composed of Catholics, who are under the constant pressure of the fanatical priests, religious liberty is more of a dream than a fact. Our brother who is working there, was lately compelled to change his place of residence, because the priest commanded the landlord to cast out the heretic. This gives our brethren in the States an idea of the difficulty which must be encountered here, where, in religious matters, man is not his own master, where blind obedience to priestly authority is expected.
But one must not think that such conditions exist only where the population is chiefly Catholic. Strange as it may seem, we find that Protestants are in many places, and in this respect especially, nearly of the same demeanor. Lately one of our workers in a Protestant community was forced to discontinue a very flourishing children's Sabbath-school, or pay a fine of several hundred marks, together with a three weeks' imprisonment. With a broken heart on the part of this brother and his daughter, who was especially interested in the school, and many tearful eyes on the part of the little ones, the school had to be disbanded. This is bad news from “free Prussia,” but it is a fact nevertheless. May God help us to be firm in the fight for the right, that many souls may yet be gathered into his fold from this part of the great harvest-field.
In Breslau the work goes with special rapidity. In a year the membership has been raised from sixty-eight to one hundred and seventeen. The Lord has also given us a beautiful chapel (with a nice pipe-organ) in which we can preach the truth to a better class, in a presentable way. It is really remarkable how the Lord brought this blessing to us. The first week of July we shall have our dedication. Perhaps some of our American brethren can be with us at this time. It would give us great joy if such could be the case.
Brethren, remember this field when you pray, that God's blessing may go with us. We remember you in our prayers.

LONG BEACH.—Sabbath, May 18, was a very encouraging day for the church at this place. The little company here was cheered to see twenty candidates follow their Lord in the ordinance of baptism. The majority of these were converts from the Spanish people, the result of Bible readings and instruction given them through an interpreter. One whole family embraced the truth in this way, and from these, several families are rejoicing in it.
Little did we think that a man seventy years of age, who had never studied any other language but the English, could be used to bring people of a foreign tongue who could not speak the English, to understand and accept the great message for to-day. But the difficulty is that we are not willing to let the Lord use us, fearing our inability to do what the Lord could do with us if we would let him.
About half of the candidates were youth and children, the fruits of the instruction given by a devoted young man in our church-school. We shall probably never know the results of our church-school work until “the roll is called up yonder.”
It was a beautiful little lake where the baptismal ceremony took place, and the weather was all we could ask. About half a dozen little boys came into the water and stood together while we baptized each in turn. Then followed about the same number of little girls, who remained standing together until the rite was performed for each. Some on the shore remarked that it was a scene over which the angels rejoiced.
The Lord has ordained abundant means, especially through our church-schools, whereby we may bring the lambs to the fold. Brethren, let us make use of this means and save our children.

Current Mention
— Two fatal cases of bubonic plague have occurred on the island of Trinidad, West Indies.
— It is estimated that the damage by a cyclone which swept Kurrachee, India, June 6, may reach $6,000,000.
— The village of Serai, fifty miles east of Van, on the Turco-Persian frontier, was destroyed by an earthquake. Slight shocks were felt at Van.
— Six cadets and five sailors from the battle-ship “Minnesota” were drowned in Hampton Roads June 11, while returning in a launch from the shore. Cause unknown.
— Four whites and seven negroes were killed recently in a race riot near a small town thirteen miles from Yazoo City, Miss. The trouble started over differences between a man and his colored tenant.
— Slight earthquake shock was felt at Jamaica on the 13th with no damage. On the same day at Valvivia, Chile, a severe shock destroyed buildings and railroad bridges. Thirty-nine persons were killed.
— United States Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, died at his residence in Washington June 11, after a ten days’ illness. He had served in the national legislature over thirty consecutive years.
— A French schooner capsized in a squall thirty miles off the coast of Barbadoes, West Indies, June 7, carrying down twenty-eight passengers that were below at the time. The captain and twenty-one men escaped with their lives.
— Mayor Eugene Schmitz of San Francisco was found guilty on the 13th of extorting money from keepers of French restaurants.
— On account of the inability of the exposition management to get sufficient help, 600 business men of Norfolk, Va., quit their work, and with picks and shovels put the finishing touches to the grounds, in order to be ready for the visit of President Roosevelt on the 10th.
— Revolutionists in Salvador have captured the port of Acajutla. They were armed by Zelaya, president of Nicaragua, in direct conflict with the recent treaty which provided that Central American States refer their differences to the United States and Mexico, for arbitration.
— For some time the operators of the Western Union Telegraph Company have had some grievances and a general strike has threatened. President Small of the Telegraphers’ Union has sent a copy of the grievances to President Roosevelt, “not as president of the United States, but as the most prominent and influential citizen in the country,” and will abide by his advice.
— Upon complaint of a mother whose boy was missing, the police of Washington invaded the house he was said to have entered, and arrested the woman who lived there, on charge of selling liquor to little children. Several children from twelve to fifteen years of age were found lying about the rooms in a drunken stupor, caused by liquor they had obtained for a few pennies each.
— A very general strike of French seamen the past week seriously interfered with navigation. The government offered marines to man some of the mail boats, but the officers refused to sail with them, and torpedo-boats were used for delivery of mails. The seamen demanded from the government an increase of the old-age pensions of the men of the naval reserve, which was granted June 3.
— Reports say that the internal condition of Russia is growing more serious. Murder is common, and pillage has become a means of livelihood. During the week ending June 8, eighty persons were killed, and seventy-eight were wounded. At Odessa, because of fear of the terrorists, two police inspectors, five subinspectors, and thirty-seven policemen requested to be allowed to resign or to be transferred. The request was denied.
— Pastor Roden, a Spanish missionary from Abyssinia who has returned to Berlin to revise the existing Abyssinian version of the Bible on behalf of the British Foreign Bible Society, reports a tribe of Hebrews, who, although adhering to the Jewish religion in every particular, have entirely outgrown the Hebrew language. This missionary reports that the progressive Emperor Menelik is favorable toward the missionaries, and, were it not for those in high position in their religion, would grant the missionaries considerable liberty. He reports that the friendly advances of Germany toward Abyssinia have been heartily welcomed, especially the kaiser’s gifts of automobiles and beer-making machinery. So it is wherever the Spirit of God opens the door to the gospel, Satan crowds in as many devices to ruin men as possible.
Medical Missionary Council
By W. A. R.
THIS meeting has just closed. As was hoped, it has been a most profitable occasion. A larger attendance was secured than was even hoped, there being over one hundred persons in attendance. Most of these were from a distance.
From the first, a spirit of unity characterized the meetings. Not a note of discord was heard during the entire session. Every one present gave expression to the desire to see the medical work take and hold the place that would make it the powerful factor in this closing work that God desires it should be. The following resolutions will witness to this:—
1. Whereas, There is a great need of educational work among our people, we would—
Recommend, That our physicians be requested to prepare concise leaflets of not more than two thousand words on these subjects, to wit:—
HEALTHFUL DRESS ........Dr. Jean Vernier
INFECTIOUS DISEASES ..........Dr. F. J. Otis
VENTILATION ............Dr. Elsie Merritt
TEA AND COFFEE ........Dr. C. O. Prince
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ......Dr. David Paulson
PATENT MEDICINES ......Dr. W. A. George
FOOD COMBINATIONS ....Dr. Lauretta Kress
SIMPLE TREATMENTS OF—
Colds ................Dr. G. H. Heald
Fevers ...............Dr. Rossiter
Constipation .........Dr. A. Olsen
FLESH FOODS ..........Dr. Wm. W. Worster
THE DOCTOR—WHEN TO CALL HIM,
.....................Dr. H. A. Habenicht
EFFECTS OF DIET AND HABITS UPON DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTER ...Dr. D. H. Kress
CARE OF THE EYES ......Dr. H. W. Miller
2. Whereas, We all recognize the importance of the advisory and educational work to be done in the field, we would therefore—
Recommend, That the proper boards and authorities fill as soon as possible the existing vacancies, and appoint the department committees of the medical organization, and we—
Recommend, That these workers organize the various nurses and workers, holding one or more conventions a year.
3. Whereas, In the medical missionary work there is a well-recognized need of uniformity of education, we would—
Recommend, That a committee be appointed to arrange curriculum, requirements, and textbooks for our various medical missionary training-schools, that will be uniform and comply with the laws of the States.
4. Whereas, It has been especially urged that a sanitarium representative of this denomination be located at Takoma Park, and such building is now ready for dedication,—
Resolved, That we express our approval of this step, and also that we co-operate with Drs. Kress in establishing the work here in Takoma Park by assisting in sending patients and helpers, and by encouraging the establishment of this work in every possible manner.
5. Whereas, Because of the special trials which the medical missionary work of this denomination has suffered, bringing much confusion, and—
Whereas, Union and harmony are necessary to the advancement of this work, therefore—
Resolved, That we, as a body of representative medical missionaries, pledge anew our loyalty to this Seventh-day Adventist denomination, and that we unite to advance the interests of that work and the promulgation of its cause.
6. Whereas, There does not exist in print any brief history of our medical work, and considering the present situation, with many now entering the Medical Department, and—
Whereas, We recognize the great need of understanding this branch, with the rise and progress of the cause, therefore be it—
Resolved, That we publish a booklet to meet this need, and that our committee on literature provide for its publication.
7. Whereas, There seems to be a need of co-operation and uniformity in the announcement of our institutions and their work, therefore—
Resolved, That we publish in Life and Health a list of accredited institutions.
Resolved, That our sanitariums publish in their catalogues a supplementary list of allied institutions.
Resolved, That we approve of the plan to place a group advertisement in selected journals, announcing the various accredited sanitaria, grouping them under their distinctive name.
Resolved, That the institutions meet their respective portion of the expense involved in these resolutions.
8. Whereas, There is need of a distinguishing name whereby our institutions may be recognized wherever found, therefore be it—
Resolved, That they be distinguished, Seventh-day Adventist, as Washington Seventh-day Adventist Sanitarium.
9. Whereas, There are many institutions which seek recognition, some of which are undoubtedly unworthy, therefore be it—
Resolved, That a committee of five, consisting of the chairman and secretary and three other members be selected by the Medical Department to be a standing committee to investigate the status, staff, and equipment with special reference to the advisability of extending our influence and support.
10. Whereas, There are many of our brother laborers in the medical work who are unable to attend this council, therefore be it—
Resolved, That the proceedings of this council be printed, so as to be available to our workers.
11. Whereas, Our entertainment has been so generously provided for during this meeting, therefore be it—
Resolved, That our appreciation be expressed by vote of thanks to the Washington Sanitarium for the same.
12. Whereas, There seems to be a necessity of a clear and well-defined understanding of the work that our treatment rooms shall undertake to do, therefore be it—
Resolved, That in the catalogues, lists, and Life and Health published lists, the institutions be classified according to their ability to diagnose and treat disease, and that institutions which do not conform to medical ethics be omitted from the lists until they conform to such rules.
13. Whereas, We recognize the great benefit derived from these conventions, therefore be it—
Resolved, That we recommend that similar conventions be called annually.
The members of the committee on plans and resolutions were: Drs. A. R. Satterlee, F. J. Otis, H. A. Habenicht, Jean Vernier, D. H. Kress, Wm. W. Worster, and C. O. Prince.
A farewell meeting was held Wednesday evening in the new Sanitarium parlor, in which many joined in expressions of gratitude to God for his manifest leading in the establishment of this work at Washington, and for his blessing in this council.

Notice!
A GOODLY number of responses have come to the request for our people to send in orders for the minutes of the late medical missionary council. Not enough, however, have responded to make it worth while to publish them. If you want us to do this, send in fifteen cents at once, that we may know whether we shall be justified in doing this. Every Seventh-day Adventist should have a copy of these minutes. The proceedings were very interesting and profitable, and the report should be in the hands of every one who is interested in the Medical Missionary Department of the third angel's message. Send fifteen cents at once to W. A. Ruble, Takoma Park, D. C.

By John G. Walker
Those living in the northeastern part of the State will be pleased to learn that a camp-meeting is appointed to be held at Devil's Lake, July 9-15. This is during the Chautauqua season, when a large number of people are attracted to that place, both for the entertainment the Chautauqua affords and also for the pleasure of camping in the beautiful groves bordering the lake.
We hope to have the camp located where the people of Devil's Lake, and also visitors, will find it convenient to attend the meetings. Services will be held in the English and Scandinavian languages, and efficient laborers in them all will be present.
We sincerely hope that all our brethren and sisters living in the northeastern part of the State will attend this meeting. A dining tent will be on the ground, and meals will be provided at a reasonable charge. In regard to reduced railroad rates, we can not announce them at this time; but if the Chautauqua is granted special rates, we also will receive them. So those coming should take certificates of purchase from the agent, and if rates are granted, the certificates will be signed by the secretary of the Chautauqua. Come and bring your family with you, and invite your friends. JOHN G. WALKER, President.
