FOUR members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church at Hitchcock, Okla., have been indicted for violating the State Sunday law. G. J. Krieger and I. G. Krieger are proprietors of a department store and elevator. Otto Weitz and his brother run a general repair shop and garage. The Messrs. Krieger have two indictments against them up to date, while the others have one. All are threatened with separate indictments for each succeeding offense.
There are five Seventh-day Adventist churches near Hitchcock, and these brethren who have been indicted have been successful business men in that city for a number of years. There have been many efforts made heretofore to have them indicted, but former county attorneys have always refused to act.
The outlook at present seems to indicate that this trial, which is set for July 6, will be the most complicated and far-reaching of any action yet begun against our people. As is well known to many readers, Sunday enforcement has been much agitated for more than two years in Oklahoma. Numerous laws and amendments have been proposed, and some change has been made in the law. A number of towns and cities have been stirred by those who delight to honor the “venerable day of the sun.” On all these occasions our vigorous protests were met with the pleasing assurance that we need have no fear; no one dreamed of harming Seventh-day Adventists. A law was only desired which would reach a lawless class; and however strict the law might be, it never would be invoked against the people who differed as to the day to be observed. Besides, we were abundantly protected by the statute exempting us. How true these assurances were may well be judged by the present prosecutions and the determination to secure conviction.
We have always contended that a law exempting seventh-day observers does not protect them from being indicted at any time and brought before the court, where they may be required to prove that they “habitually” and “conscientiously” keep another day, and that the work performed was not done in a way to disturb those who keep that day.
We gather from the present indications that much thought has been given by leading men of the State, and especially in the county where the indictments have been made, to the law exempting us. If it is not decided that it has been set aside, a new turn is proposed. The exemption has heretofore been understood to cover all phases of the law. Now it is discovered to permit only “servile labor.” If a decision can be secured narrowing down the exemption to “servile labor,” it may be plainly seen that Seventh-day Adventists will no longer be permitted to work at any trade, business, or employment not comprehended in what is called “servile labor,” a term which would itself need to be defined.
We visited the brethren who were indicted, also a number of men in the county seat. Among the latter was the legal advisor for the Krieger firm, also the editor of the county paper, and the county attorney. The editor showed himself very friendly, and took a statement of our position for publication. He seemed entirely in sympathy with us. The county attorney at first seemed a little hard to approach, but this soon wore away, and we had a very friendly, frank discussion of the points at issue. We told him this was not a matter concerning only those who were indicted, but that principles were involved that were sacred indeed to every Seventh-day Adventist. Were he to be convinced that it was his sacred duty to keep the Sabbath, he could well see that it involved a great sacrifice to do so. Ought the law to make conscientious convictions of duty still harder to be performed? Being a decided believer in immersion, he admitted he should not submit to a law compelling him to be sprinkled also. This helped him to see why we resent a law compelling us to keep Sunday after we have obeyed God in keeping the Bible Sabbath. This gentleman was found to be decidedly anti-Catholic, and there was evidently quite an impression made when he was told that Sunday enforcement was not enforcing a command of the Bible, but a doctrine of the Catholic Church.
We left him with a very different view of the question, and with much more friendly feeling toward those whom he had under pressure decided to prosecute. He yet seemed to think that it would be best to let the cases be continued, and thus have handed down a decision which he hoped would forever settle this troublesome question. He seemed to think that if these men were acquitted, it would then be settled, but we assured him that such matters never can be settled by law. With a decision acquitting our brethren, there would come a clamor for a new law or a new decision that would be against our people, and it would come from the same source from which these indictments were urged.

The statement by Garfield, “History is but the unrolled scroll of prophecy,” appears in each language.
Some of the leading articles in the magazines are:—
“When the Turk Leaves Europe.”
“Armageddon—the Future War.”
“Nearness of Christ’s Coming.”
“Peace on Earth.”
“Millennium.”
Each contains many other articles on topics of vital interest. These magazines are as follows:—
Zeichen der Zeit (Signs of the Times, German).
Lys Over Landet (Light Over the Land, Danish-Norwegian).
Tidens Tecken (Signs of the Times, Swedish).

The Homemade Fireless Cooker
In writing about the homemade fireless cooker, directions for the making of which he gives in the August number of Health and Temperance, Mr. Cornforth, who is the cook at the New England Sanitarium, says of baked beans: “I have sometimes been surprised in taking the beans from the box the last time to find that they were as brown on top as almost to have the appearance of having been scorched. They have the good, brown, baked-bean flavor.” This article alone is worth the price of the August number—ten cents.

Elder Daniells Returns
THE many friends of Brother and Sister A. G. Daniells took much pleasure in welcoming them back to Washington the evening of July 13. They have been absent from headquarters for more than a year. During that time, they have traveled more than fifty-four thousand miles, equal to two complete trips around the world. They have visited more than a dozen different countries. At every port where Brother and Sister Daniells stopped, they found believers to welcome them. It is needless to say that this long journey on the part of our workers has been attended by most excellent results in all the fields visited. Only those who have been out on the firing line, laboring in the midst of great difficulties and heathen darkness, can appreciate what it is to have the counsel of one who has had such a broad experience in connection with this work. From every field the workers write of the great encouragement which Sister Daniells’s visit afforded.
It seems that in the great Orient God has gone out before this people, and open doors without number are found for the entrance of the truth to the hearts of the people. As God called upon Israel of old to move forward, so his providence is calling to this people today to take advance steps in the prosecution of the work he has committed to them. We cannot for a moment rest in self-satisfaction or in contemplation of what has been accomplished. Much has been done through the favoring hand of our God, but a great, needy world stretches out its hands to God, and to us as bearers of the gospel message. Let the mute appeal of the souls in darkness stir our hearts to new sympathy, and energize all our activities in the carrying forward of this work. Brother Daniells will attend some of the larger camp meetings to be held during the summer season. He will have much to tell our brethren and sisters of the opening providences of God and of his marvelous leadings in the prosecution of the work in the great regions beyond.
MISS RUTH MCCULLY, after spending the school year at the Washington Missionary College, accepted the call to Cuba, to engage in Bible and medical missionary work. She sailed week before last, in company with Brother and Sister Allen, returning from their short vacation in the States.
