Periodical Sales in Finland

By A. J. S. B.

We are just in receipt of an interesting letter from Brother Naarlo Soisalo, of our publishing house in Helsingfors, Finland, containing the following report of the sale of our Finnish paper, Aikain Vartija, during the first six months of 1910:—
COPIES PRINTED COPIES SOLD VALUE

This periodical sells for three cents a copy, and the subscription price is fifty cents a year. Speaking of the methods used in selling the papers, Brother Soisalo says:—
“We do not sell our periodicals on the streets, but they are sold in the cities through our agents, who do house-to-house work. We hope next time to give some interesting experiences of our workers. God has blessed our work here in Finland. We have many true book agents who have also labored.”
If there are Finnish people living in your neighborhood, to whom you would like to impart a knowledge of the third angel’s message, you may secure copies of our Finnish paper, Aikain Vartija, also our Finnish tracts, by addressing the New York branch of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, 32 Union Square, East, New York, or by addressing the publishers, as follows: Aikain Vartija, Unionsgatan 4, Helsingfors, Finland.

By J. W. Lair

The next session of the New York Conference will be held in connection with the annual camp-meeting at Syracuse, Onondaga Co., N. Y., Sept. 1-10, 1910, for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, and transacting any other business which may properly come before the conference.

Canvassers’ Institute in Florida

By R. W. Parmele

THERE will be a canvassers’ institute held on the camp-ground at Leesburg, Sept. 25 to Oct. 9, 1910. The annual conference session will begin October 10, and the camp-meeting proper, October 13. A series of meetings will be in progress for several weeks prior to these meetings, and will continue until the close of the camp-meeting. During the canvassers’ institute and conference, there will be no charge for tent room, and the board will be as low as it is possible to make it, doubtless not exceeding fifteen cents a meal. Our union conference agent and the State agent will be present to give instruction during the institute, and during the conference and camp-meeting we expect Elders A. G. Daniels, Charles Thompson, and R. T. Dowsett, and Prof. M. B. VanKirk to be present.
Owing to a new ruling of the Passenger Association, we are unable to secure reduced rates on the railroads this year, but these favors have already become so small as to be almost nil. We earnestly urge our brethren of this conference to avail themselves of this occasion for a spiritual refreshing, and to invite any contemplating spending the winter in Florida to assemble with us. Let all come praying the Spirit of the Master to be present in rich measure.
R. W. PARMELE, President.

Obituaries

AUSTIN.—Murl W., eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Austin, was born in Senjen, Minn., and with her parents removed to Bakersfield, Cal., a short time before her death. She was the charm of the household and the delight of the Sabbath-school. Words of comfort and cheer were spoken to relatives and friends at the funeral service. CHAS. N. MILLER.
ENOCH.—Frank Enoch was born in Belgium, Oct. 24, 1839, and died at the home of his son, F. F. Enoch, at Wilsonville, Neb., July 10, 1910. He accepted the message in Wisconsin in 1876, under the labors of his brother, Elder M. Enoch. He quietly passed away to await the call of the Life-giver. Three brothers, one sister, two children, and nine grandchildren are left to mourn. JAMES A. MORROW.
GIBSON.—Died at Sanitarium, Cal., July 4, 1910, little Mildred, daughter of Brother and Sister Alton Gibson, aged three years and twenty-six days. Knowing that their child had been dedicated to God, and that they had faithfully sought to train her for him, the parents live in bright hope of meeting her again. Services were conducted by the writer in the Seventh-day Adventist church at St. Helena. C. L. TAYLOR.
THOMPSON.—Died at Wilmington, Del., Aug. 2, 1910, William Henry Thompson, eldest son of Brother and Sister James Thompson, aged 12 years, 2 months, and 10 days. William was a regular attendant at Sabbath-school, and manifested a desire to become a useful, Christian young man. A large number of sympathizing friends gathered at the home, where the funeral service was conducted by the writer, from Job. 14:14. ROSCOE T. BAER.
HUNTER.—Died at Keene, Tex., July 31, 1910, after an illness of many months, Brother Hiram Hunter, aged 78 years, 3 months, and 26 days. He was born in Onondaga County, near Syracuse, N. Y., April 5, 1832. Aug. 12, 1862, near Madison, Wis., he was married to Miss Eleanor Williams. To them were born ten children, five of whom, with his companion, survive him. At the time of the Civil War, Brother Hunter answered the call of his country, and served three years in the Federal army. Soon after the close of the war, he heard the good news of the third angel's message, which he and his companion accepted. To the day of his death the advancement of this precious truth was the great aim of his life. Brother Hunter considered it a privilege to have a part in starting every enterprise to forward the truth. There are a number of the older members of churches in the Texas Conference who date their knowledge of the truth to Brother Hunter's early labors. Later he spent considerable time as a canvasser, and he will doubtless meet in the kingdom of God those who date their knowledge of the truth from his work in this line. C. N. WOODWARD.
BAGWELL.—Died at Gainesville, Ga., June 26, 1910, Sister Ada Cheek Bagwell. She was born in Hall County, Georgia, Nov. 27, 1876, and was married to J. H. Bagwell, July 2, 1895. With her father, Sister Bagwell united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Six children, her bereaved husband, besides mother, father, one sister, and two brothers, and other relatives, will miss her loving ministrations. We laid her to rest to await the coming of our blessed Saviour. R. T. DOWSETT.
YEAGER.—Abram Yeager was born in Ontario, Canada, March 7, 1830, and died at Ligonier, Ind., July 20, 1910. In 1866 he was married to Maria Ritten, who died Sept. 24, 1879. In 1883 he was again married; and his bereaved wife, with seven children, two brothers, and a sister, is now left to mourn. Brother Yeager accepted the truth in 1874, and from that time has lived a consistent Christian life. Elder White, a pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, conducted the funeral service. *
SWEARINGEN.—Died after a brief illness at Clovis, N. M., Aug. 9, 1910, Wilkie Charles Swearingen, only son of N. B. and Mattie Swearingen, aged 9 years, 1 month, and 27 days. During his illness he talked of the trees and flowers in Washington, where we expected to go as soon as he was able. We believe it will be only a little while till Jesus will call him from the grave to the beauty and life of a home in heaven. The funeral service was conducted at the home of his parents by Brother R. L. Benton. MATTIE SWEARINGEN.
ROBINSON.—Drowned while bathing at Anaheim Landing, Cal., July 31, 1910, Brother V. A. Robinson, aged seventeen years. Only a few months ago he gave his heart to God at a series of meetings held at Garden Grove, and united with the church. In his death a young and promising life has been brought sadly to its close. Old ocean claimed its victim, and carried it out to sea; but after three days “the sea gave up its dead,” as it will again do at the call of its Master. After a short open-air service, conducted by the writer, we laid our brother to rest by the side of his mother, who also sleeps in hope. A father, three brothers, and two sisters, who also accepted the truth with him, are preparing to meet him again. C. F. MARVIN.
AMSDEN.—Mrs. Alice A. Amsden was born in New York State, April 13, 1835, and died at the home of her daughter in Lenawee County, near Onsted, Mich., June 30, 1910, being over seventy-five years old. Sister Amsden accepted the truth through reading the Signs of the Times and the Bible. While on an extended visit at the home of her son in Quincy, Mich., she found the people of her choice, and gladly joined the church at that place, Jan. 2, 1909. The following July she was baptized at the Three Rivers camp-meeting. The Lord wonderfully sustained her during her last illness, which covered a period of several months. The Baptist minister officiated at the funeral, and she was laid away to rest till the Life-giver shall call his own. MRS. C. H. THOMPSON.
NOURSE.—At the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Henry E. Miller, Central Park, Long Island, N. Y., July 16, 1910, occurred the death of Alvin W. Nourse, in the ninety-seventh year of his age. It is worthy of note that he was a contemporary antislavery advocate with Gerrit Smith, Owen Lovejoy, and many others who spoke and fought in that stormy period of our nation’s history. For seventy-five years Mr. Nourse was a Prohibition leader; he opposed the liquor traffic with all the strength he possessed, and much important legislation regulating the sale of intoxicants was enacted through his influence. Just as strenuously did he labor to stop the use of tobacco, more especially the sale of cigarettes to young men. He was for many years an observer of the seventh-day Sabbath, and an ardent adherent of the Seventh-day Adventist faith. LAURA C. NOURSE.
WELLER.—Died in a hospital at Fort Ann, N. Y., Aug. 7, 1910, Sister Lillian D. Weller, aged 23 years, 4 months, and 13 days. Sister Weller has for several years been a faithful member of the church, having been a student at South Lancaster Academy, and, since, a teacher in one of our church-schools. She has also been one of our most successful canvassers. Her greatest desire was to advance the truths of the third angel’s message. The funeral service, conducted by the writer, who spoke from James 4:14, was held in the Methodist church, the pastor assisting in the service. F. C. WEBSTER.
KENDALL.—Died in Battle Creek, Mich., July 28, 1910, our esteemed brother, John Charles Kendall, aged 49 years, 2 months, and 26 days. He was born at Rochester, Minn. On March 20, 1894, at Spokane, Wash., he was married to Augusta Crystal Price. Two years ago Mrs. Kendall took her stand for the truth, and was baptized. Later our brother was led to study its teachings, and finally accepted it, and joined the church at Battle Creek. His experience was very clear, and deeply interesting. The bereaved wife, a son fourteen years of age, and a brother and a sister are left to mourn. G. W. AMADON.
FORD.—Clementine Ford, second child of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Ford, of Vincennes, Ind., was born June 13, 1891, and died Aug. 4, 1910. In 1909, while attending school at Beechwood Academy, she confessed her faith in Christ, and firmly took her stand for the truths of the third angel’s message. She was very desirous of obtaining an education, that she might labor efficiently in the Master’s vineyard; but not being permitted to do this, she was resigned to the Lord’s will. The father and mother, with a sister and two brothers, remain to mourn. The funeral service was conducted by Elder L. W. Browne, assisted by the writer. A. L. MILLER.
HEILESEN.—Sister Heilesen was born in Jutland, Denmark, in 1841, and died in Harmattan, Alberta, Canada, May 17, 1910. She came to Iowa in 1869, and accepted present truth under the labors of Elder J. G. Matteson. She was among the first Danish Sabbath-keepers in America. In the same faith and blessed hope she fell asleep, awaiting the call of the Life-giver. Sister Heilesen was mother to nine children. In the home of Dr. Mary Heilesen, one of her daughters, she was well cared for in her last sickness. The funeral took place in the Seventh-day Adventist church, where the writer spoke words of comfort from the words found in 2 Tim. 4:7, 8. J. C. CHRISTENSEN.
PARKER.—Verna G. Parker was born in the township of Casco, Allegan Co., Mich., Nov. 27, 1875, and died at her home in Bangor, Mich., July 30, 1910, aged 34 years, 8 months, and 3 days. Dec. 25, 1892, she was united in marriage to Arthur H. Parker. Two children were born to them, who, with their father, are now left to mourn. Sister Parker was a charter member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Bangor. She was very active in both church and Sabbath-school work, serving in the capacity of church clerk and Sabbath-school superintendent. During the many weary months of her suffering, she manifested the patience and Christian fortitude of one whose trust is in the Lord. CLIFFORD A. RUSSELL.
MASON.—Died at Dodge Center, Minn., July 29, 1910, Sister Myrtle May Mason (née Foote), aged forty-four years and twenty-seven days. She was married to Brother John A. Mason, Feb. 26, 1890. To this union one child, a son now about eighteen years of age, was born. Sister Mason united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church soon after her marriage, and lived a consistent Christian life. She was a great sufferer for years, and longed to rest in Jesus until the Life-giver shall come. The writer spoke on the funeral occasion from Ps. 116:15 to a sympathizing company, who gathered under the beautiful evergreen trees in the front yard where Sister Mason had spent many days during her long illness. R. A. UNDERWOOD.

Chitonga Reader and City Work Appeal

By Editor

THE Mission Board has received a copy of “Reader No. 2,” printed in the Chitonga language. This is the result of the effort of Elder W. H. Anderson, of the Barotseland Mission, South Africa, to provide proper reading for the natives, giving in their own language the main features of the Bible story from the fall in Eden to the time of Israel entering the promised land. The book contains seventy-one pages, is nicely printed, and is well illustrated.
WE hope all are reading the articles on “Our Work for the Cities” in the Editorial department, from the president of the General Conference. The call to this important work should enlist the active support of every reader of this paper.
