Jesuits Assault British Bible Society Colporteur in Bolivia

A NEWSPAPER published at La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, gives a description of the treatment which the British and Foreign Bible Society colporteur received at the hands of the Jesuits in that city. Having heard of his arrival at La Paz and of the Bible work he was accomplishing, they sent a messenger to invite him to their convent. He went, and found an audience of three hundred persons or more gathered in the room. First he was opposed by the prior only, but very soon all the monks united against him as he stood there alone among them all. The newspaper article states: “Unable to resist the colporteur’s valid arguments, these holy men began to insult him. Then the prior gave him a first blow, which was followed by many others from the fathers, until they opened the door and thrust him out into the midst of a mob gathered at the entrance to the convent.” But for the noble conduct of some young man among the crowd, who released the colporteur and carried him safely to his lodgings, he would have been lynched.

Washington, D. C.

By H. W. Cottrell

W. A. SPICER, O. O. Farnsworth, and the writer spent September 18–22 at Washington, in the interest of the work in that city. The difficulty over the racial question has been increasing for years. When the church was first organized, it was a mixed congregation, but until recent years the membership was largely European. The colored membership of late has increased far more rapidly, so much so that not one third of the people present at the time we were there were Europeans.
The racial prejudice was of such a nature that many of the white people’s friends could not be induced to attend the services with them; hence, in order to avoid the difficulty, and thus be enabled to reach all classes of people, the General Conference Committee decided last spring to send two ministers there, that services might be held in the special interest of each race, and thus no one be deprived of hearing the third angel’s message through racial prejudice. Accordingly, Elders J. S. Washburn and L. C. Sheafe were requested to take up labor in Washington, which they did with excellent results, more than fifty persons accepting the truth.
On Sabbath, September 20, the morning hour was devoted to presenting to the church and congregation some of the reasons why it would be well to have two congregations instead of one, as formerly. There were some objections urged against such a plan, but under existing circumstances it was evident that there was no other way of getting the truth before a certain class of people, for whom Christ gave his life as well as for other classes. The whole problem resolves itself into this: the Lord holds every Christian responsible to adapt himself by practical education to circumstances and conditions as they are known in the world, that he may be, under Christ, a savior to the largest number of people. The question in its kindred forms was further considered in the evening. Six hours was devoted to its public study. All the church members present, except two, finally voted letters to those desiring them, thus forming a second organization. The new congregation, composed of forty white people, was organized into a church on Monday evening, taking the name The Second Seventh-day Adventist Church of Washington, D. C. I am informed that there are about twenty or thirty other persons who had ceased going to church on account of the conditions already mentioned. These will soon unite with this church.
There is a debt of thirty-five hundred dollars on the church property, but it is worth several thousand dollars more. It was left to the colored congregation, and the few white people remaining with them. I am sure that a much better understanding was reached by all who were interested in the principles discussed. Quite a general wish was expressed that the Lord would be with and prosper each congregation, and that all would still remain brethren and sisters in Christ.
All Christians are freeborn; and this certainly involves the thought that if, under God, one believes that he can do better service by having his membership in a mixed congregation than otherwise, even though he is in a section of the country where the question is radically agitated, it is certainly his Christian privilege so to do; while a similar right must be conceded to those who, under the Lord, take another view of the question. We need Christian liberty within the soul, rather than simply a form of words without. H. W. COTTRELL.

Minutes of the Canadian Union Conference

By W. H. Thurston; S. D. Hartwell

The first biennial session of the Canadian Union Conference was held in connection with the Quebec camp meeting, at Waterloo, Quebec, Sept. 10–15, 1902, the first meeting being called at 10:30 A. M., of the 10th, with Elder W. H. Thurston in the chair. Elder Collie led in the devotional exercises, earnestly asking the blessing of the Lord upon the deliberations of the conference.
The following delegates were seated at the first meeting: from the field at large, W. H. Thurston and S. D. Hartwell; from Ontario, J. W. Collie; from Quebec, S. A. Farnsworth, H. E. Rickard, J. M. Ellis, and J. C. Nichols; from Maritime, George E. Langdon, M. S. Babcock, and F. A. Tracy; from Newfoundland, H. J. Farman. At a subsequent meeting William Ostrander was seated as a delegate from Quebec.
The minutes of the meeting held at South Lancaster, Mass., Dec. 3, 1901, at which time the conference was organized, were read and approved.

President's Address

“The organization of the Canadian Union Conference went into effect Jan. 1, 1902. It embraces the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, the maritime provinces, and Newfoundland. In looking the field over, it was evident that more laborers were needed, and we began at once to supply this demand.
“Up to date there have been sixteen laborers brought in from the States, and yet there are rich fields waiting for the faithful worker.
“The maritime provinces were organized into a conference last May, and each province in the conference was supplied with two or more laborers. Two local camp meetings and several general meetings have been held in the union conference during the summer, and ten tent efforts have been in progress. As a result of these efforts a large ingathering of souls should be realized.
“In St. John's, Newfoundland, a health institute has been established, with the Drs. Lemon in charge, and a good work is being done. The institution has been running only three months, and it is now self-supporting. It is true that a building had to be fitted up for giving treatments, and some further outlay of means will be necessary for the enlargement of the institution to meet the increasing demand, but we believe that the money is forthcoming.
“At a legal meeting held at St. John's, Newfoundland, Sept. 2, 1902, the following resolution was adopted:—
“‘Resolved, That the medical missionary workers sustain the same relation to the mission field and to the Canadian Union Conference as other workers in the island; and that no line of separation be recognized between the medical missionary work and other departments of work in this field.’”
“Dr. A. E. Lemon has been granted ministerial license, and Dr. Carrie J. Lemon, missionary credentials, and they are both on the pay roll of the Canadian Union Conference as conference laborers, the same as the ministers, and are in full harmony with this arrangement.
“Looking at the situation as a whole, the outlook is good, the churches are much encouraged, and the missionary spirit is being revived.
“In regard to the educational work it has been thought best, instead of planning for one large industrial school for the entire conference, as first suggested, to establish a school in each local conference as soon as practicable.

NEEDS OF MISSIONARY WORK IN NEW DISTRICTS

“While safeguarding the essential interests of our established work through the conference, what we would seem at the present time to need in extended missionary districts and in our large cities, are the best practical ways (1) of securing a sufficient number of suitable Christian workers; (2) of properly distributing these laborers with due regard to economy and efficiency; (3) of obtaining the resources to sustain these laborers and their indispensable institutions; (4) of inspiring and helping them to secure and maintain a uniform policy of advance, uniting under proper regulations all our resources for vigilant and energetic progress. The publishing work, and our future policy and details of operation, should receive careful consideration at this meeting, and a permanent location should be decided upon for our headquarters.
“I thank you all for your hearty cooperation thus far in the Canadian Union Conference work, and trust that the Lord will direct in all future plans and efforts in this important field.”
Elder Collie gave an interesting report of the work in Ontario. Elder Farnsworth spoke for the work in Quebec, giving a brief report of the work of the past year, which he said was encouraging to the brethren of the conference. A number of laborers have been taken into the field during the year, some of whom are being supported by other conferences. Elder Farman reported advancement in the work in Newfoundland, the future prospects being bright. He strongly urged the importance of more laborers' being sent there. Elder Langdon reported the work in the Maritime Conference, and spoke encouragingly of the outlook.
The Chair being empowered, by vote of the conference, to appoint the usual committees, reported the following: Nominations, George E. Langdon, H. J. Farman, J. M. Ellis; Credentials and Licenses, J. W. Collie, S. A. Farnsworth, M. S. Babcock. The delegates were appointed as a committee of the whole on Plans of Work.
Elder W. A. Spicer was invited to take part in the deliberations of the conference.
The time of the second meeting of the conference was taken up in discussing the question of the publishing work, and conference headquarters. It was the consensus of opinion that the interests of the conference would be best served by continuing the publishing work in Canada, and a motion was carried authorizing the Chair to appoint a committee of two with himself to consider the matter of location. The east and the west were represented on this committee, which consisted of Elders Langdon, of New Brunswick, and Collie, of Ontario. This committee subsequently reported, recommending Montreal as the headquarters, and suggesting that the time of making the change in location be left to the discretion of the conference president and the secretary. Report adopted.
Elders Rickard, Collie, and Babcock were appointed as a committee to consider the matter of legal incorporation, and after taking time for investigation, verbally reported, recommending the incorporation of the Canadian Union Conference Association, with a board of seven trustees, to be elected at the regular sessions of the conference, for the purpose of holding property in the Dominion of Canada, not otherwise provided for.
The constitution was, by vote, amended by striking out the word “eleven” and inserting the word “nine” in Section 3, Article V, thus reducing the number on the executive committee; also eliminating the word “educational” from the same article, and providing that superintendents of organized mission fields should be members of the executive board.
Upon the recommendation of the Committee on Nominations, the following persons were elected as officers for the ensuing two years: President, W. H. Thurston; Vice-President, J. W. Collie; Secretary, Treasurer, and Auditor, S. D. Hartwell; Executive Committee, W. H. Thurston, J. W. Collie, T. H. Robinson, S. D. Hartwell, A. E. Lemon, M. D., and E. P. Auger, together with the presidents of Quebec and Maritime Conferences and the superintendent of the Newfoundland mission field; Trustees of the legal incorporation, W. H. Thurston, J. W. Collie, S. A. Farnsworth, George E. Langdon, T. H. Robinson, S. D. Hartwell, and M. S. Babcock; Publishing Committee, W. H. Thurston, J. W. Collie, S. D. Hartwell, E. P. Auger, George E. Langdon; Mission Board for Newfoundland, Elders H. J. Farman and W. H. Thurston, Dr. A. E. Lemon, and Brother Johnston, and one to be supplied.
Ministerial credentials were granted to W. H. Thurston and H. J. Farman, and ministerial license to Dr. A. E. Lemon and S. D. Hartwell. Missionary credentials were given to Mrs. Carrie Lemon and Miss Clara Farman.
The following recommendations were passed, after interesting discussion:—
“Whereas, We recognize that the medical and evangelical work are one and should be placed upon the same basis, and,—
“Whereas, The Newfoundland Health Institute has taken the initiative in resolving and placing the medical work on the same basis as the evangelical work, therefore,—
“Resolved, That the workers in each department report to, and their accounts be settled by, the executive committee in the field in which they labor.
“Whereas, The Ontario Tract Society, in order to obtain possession of the territory of the Province of Ontario from the Review and Herald, assumed the responsibility of certain accounts, which have proved to be worthless, and,—
“Whereas, This assumed indebtedness is a part of the accounts turned over to the Canadian Union Conference by the Review and Herald, therefore,—
“Resolved, That that assumed indebtedness be forgiven the Ontario Conference, except those parts of the account for which they have received value; for these they will be expected to pay.”
The matter of the forgiveness of the debts which were turned over to the conference was quite fully discussed by Brethren Thurston, Spicer, Collie, and others, all concurring in the opinion that we should expect settlements to be made of all accounts where it was evident that value had been received by the creditors, as the proceeds of these accounts had been intended for the benefit of the union conference.
Four meetings were held, and all the business of the conference was performed with a unanimity of purpose and feeling, which was encouraging, and all felt that the conference had been a profitable one, and the different conferences of the union were more closely bound together. Adjourned sine die.
W. H. THURSTON, President; S. D. HARTWELL, Secretary.

Tennessee Meetings at Manchester, Earleyville, and Erin

By B. Hagle

Tennessee

MANCHESTER, EARLEYVILLE, ERIN.— I came to Manchester, Tenn., in March, and held a series of meetings there, also in Earleyville, and was able by the help of God to bring the truth before the people in such a way that a company was raised up in each place to keep the commandments of God. Church officers were elected for both churches. I then came to Erin, to attend the camp meeting, and I have remained here with other laborers to follow up the interest. We are having a good congregation, and some have decided to keep all of God’s commandments. We are of good courage. B. HAGLE.

West Virginia Camp Meeting

By H. W. Cottrell

THE West Virginia camp meeting was held at Parkersburg, September 11-21. The weather was excellent except that the evenings were rather cool. The camp was located on the electric line, about one mile from the city. The conference is numerically small, but a good representation was present. The attendance from the city was good. Besides the ministers of the local conference, there were present, either all or a portion of the time, W. A. Spicer, E. E. Franke, R. A. Underwood, S. H. Lane, Frederick Griggs, S. N. Curtiss, and the writer. The medical work was represented by two graduates from Battle Creek. A good work was done for all the people, and many were spiritually revived. Several young people gave themselves to the Lord.
The conference is practically out of debt, as it now owes only about two hundred dollars on the old tract society debt. Eight hundred and fifteen dollars was received in cash and pledges in the interest of the conference work. We devoted one meeting to the interest of the book, “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and sold five hundred and four books to private individuals, which completes the conference quota.
Brother Spicer and the writer were called to Washington, D. C., several days before the close of the meeting, hence the interest developed later will be reported by others.
Elder S. M. Cobb was again elected conference president, and all enter upon the work with renewed courage.

The Medical Missionary Movement in Chicago

By David Paulson

We are sure that all our brethren will be glad to know something of the interesting experiences that God is giving us in our Chicago medical missionary work.
The work faithfully done by those who preceded us is now beginning to bring a blessed harvest. Some of the leading pulpits in the city are being opened to us. At important occasions we have had opportunities to present the truths that are dear to us. Men and women whose work has been honored by God, have become friendly to our work, and are manifesting an interest to investigate the truths for this time.
One of our oldest and most experienced workers is spending her entire time this month in visiting leading pastors in the city, interesting them in The Life Boat, securing opportunities for us to speak in their pulpits, and making arrangements for having schools of health conducted in their churches. Thus far she has met with most gratifying results.
Fully a dozen of our workers are selling The Life Boat, either in the residence portion of the city or to business men in the great office buildings. One of our sisters sold two hundred and fifty copies of one number in one of these mammoth buildings. The success that has been met with in this work exceeds our fondest expectations. The most ordinary and inexperienced worker sells from twenty-five to forty copies in about four hours. As three cents is earned on the sale of each copy, it can be readily seen that the problem has at last been solved of how we can take in scores of workers, and give them the splendid opportunities for training that the Chicago work affords, and at the same time offer them an opportunity to earn their support.
Before these workers start out in the morning, they have a consecration meeting, and unite in earnest prayer for divine guidance. Those who have had the privilege of attending our experience meetings would not doubt for a moment that these prayers are answered. The workers take note of the homes where the people desire Bible readings, and where cottage, health, and gospel meetings can be held, and these openings are more than we can fill.
Chicago contains two million inhabitants, or more than many of our large States. We are maintaining in this city a sanitarium, a hospital, the Workingmen's Home, a splendid mission, a rescue work for women, a great medical missionary dispensary effort in the stockyards district, a free visiting nurses' work, and a hygienic restaurant, which from every point of view is the best there is in the vicinity of the Chicago University. Engaged in these various departments are nearly one hundred and fifty young people.
We want fifty more earnest, consecrated, self-sacrificing young men and women to begin a training as missionary nurses, and at the same time share the splendid missionary opportunities that are spread out before us in this city; but they should come prepared to pay several dollars each week for their board androom, or else be willing to sell The Life Boat to pay for the same. We would be glad if a dozen of our leading ministers and conference or tract society secretaries, leaders of young people's societies, and others occupying responsible positions in our work, would come, upon the same terms, and remain with us a month, or longer if providence so directs, and engage in missionary work, thereby coming so closely in touch with this work, and gaining such an experience in reaching all classes of people, that when they go back to their own fields of labor, they will be the means of arousing thousands of our people to engage in neighborhood gospel work.
Multitudes are standing still, doing nothing, pleading as an excuse, “No man hath hired us;” that is, no one has set them to work.
One business concern among us has been donating one hundred and fifty dollars a month to pay the rent and maintain some of the running expenses of the Life Boat Mission and some other departments of our work. We have received notice that they do not see their way clear to continue the contribution beyond this month. We want one hundred men who will give us a dollar a month to keep this important missionary center from being closed. We want ten thousand children to sell fifty thousand copies of The Life Boat each month, both for their own good and for the good of the community in which they live. This is only five copies apiece each month. Most of them could do much more. The circulation of the August number was fifty thousand. If our children will take hold of this work, we believe that they will easily double this circulation in a few months. We want people of mature years to introduce The Life Boat to their most influential neighbors, and to all the pastors in their community, and try to get them to subscribe for it. It will make friends for our work, and will increase their love for spiritual things and their confidence in God, and create an appetite for all the other good things we have to feed them on. If these requests are reasonable and proper in view of the time in which we are living, and the scenes and experiences into which we are about to be plunged, why not act upon them? God wants to make this people the greatest soul-saving denomination in the world. Gideon had to gather thirty thousand men in order to find three hundred who really possessed the spirit of battle. May the Lord grant that a great missionary wave may sweep over this people, and that there shall be found a larger proportion of genuine missionaries in our ranks than there was found in Gideon's company.
DAVID PAULSON.

Prosperity and the Work of the Gospel

At first glance it may seem that we ought to be able to do better work when the crops are good, and when wages are high, and yet it is a fact, and scores of illustrations might be presented to demonstrate it, that the work of the gospel has always prospered most under adversity. When prosperity is in the land, the people forget God, and men are not as likely to give their lives to self-sacrificing work as when they are being taught by adversity that God must be their all in all. What is your personal condition, dear reader, in this time of unparalleled prosperity in the United States? Are you drifting with the world into speculation? or are you still walking the path of self-denial and humble service?

Ask, Seek, Knock: Victory Through the Spirit

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seekethfindeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become ‘a plain.’” We must learn the blessed secrets of his power, and then we shall have victory over our difficulties, and conquer through him who stands above all temporal things, and overrules them according to the faith of his children.

Typhoon Losses Reported at Hong Kong

BROTHER J. N. ANDERSON writes that during a recent typhoon not less than eighty lives were lost in and about Hong-kong. Many of these fatalities were on land, and were caused by the collapse of houses.

Two Basutos Baptized by Brother Freeman

BROTHER FREEMAN recently baptized two Basutos. One of these was the eldest son of Brother Kalaka, who has recently accepted the truth. This no doubt will gladden the heart of Brother Kalaka, and will encourage and strengthen the little band of workers at the Basuto Mission. Brother Freeman expects others to be ready for baptism soon.

Strong in Thy Strength

By Fairlie Thornton

I can of mine own self do nothing.—Jesus.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.—Paul.
STRONG in thy strength, O Jesus, forth to thy work we go; Trusting thy love so precious, ever thy praise to show. We would not dread the future, we cannot change the past; Strong in thy strength, O Jesus, we shall o’ercome at last.
Strong in thy might, O Jesus, we everything can do; Thou, who from sin dost cleanse us, canst keep us faithful too. Surely we should not falter, nor should our courage fail! Nerved with thy might, O Jesus, through grace we shall prevail.
Fill’d with thy love, O Jesus, that wondrous love divine, Where thou shalt lead we’ll follow; are we not wholly thine? On to the work we’ll hasten, where’er the field may be; Fill’d with thy love, O Jesus, gladly we’ll work for thee.
—Fairlie Thornton.

Yet I Will Rejoice in the Lord

“ALTHOUGH the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.” Hab. 3: 17-19.

Drought in Australia and the Subscription Book Work

THE Scripture quoted above applies very aptly to the situation in Australia. For seven years the most terrible drought ever known there has been laying the great grazing portions of the country waste, and creeping down closer and closer to the coast line. Year after year as times have become harder, and the severity of the drought has increased, the subscription-book business has steadily developed, until it is more prosperous now than ever before. No one but the child of faith, who has learned that the resources of God are always accessible, can give an explanation for this interesting development.

Monthly Canvassing Report from Australasia

By Editor

In another column we present a full monthly report of the canvassing work in Australasia. We think this will be interesting to all our workers; for it will show what books are being sold most successfully, and the prosperity which is attending the work, notwithstanding the hard times. This report is an illustration of what can be done when the times are very bad. Should we not do as well where the times are prosperous?

God's Unchanging Riches and the Secrets of His Power

WHAT is true of energy is also true of God’s riches. They are the resources of his children, and are always accessible to those who know where to find them. God is not impoverished by a drought, nor made rich by fine crops. His wealth is unchangeable. To-day he gives bountiful harvests and good wages; tomorrow his blessings are hidden by droughts and strikes. But surely his resources are not changed. The same God who can create wine for the use of man by the natural process, is just as able to turn water into wine for the use of his children when the natural supply has failed. The same God who makes the wheat grow can feed the multitude without a wheat crop, or rain manna from heaven in the desert. The supply is always at hand. God’s power is always the same, but we must learn the secrets of his power, or our work will always vary according to outward conditions, and we shall have our ups and downs like ancient Israel in the wilderness.

Energy Is Constant and Only Changes Form

It is a law of physics that energy is a constant, never-changing quantity. It can neither be created nor destroyed by man. The power of the natural forces of this world are always the same whether seen or unseen. The energy in coal may be changed into heat, heat into mechanical power, mechanical power into electricity, and electricity into light. The energy has not been increased nor diminished. It has simply changed its form. Sometimes it is visible and sometimes invisible, but it is always accessible to one who has learned its secrets.

Canvassers Called for Without Regard to Prosperity

VERY naturally our canvassers rejoice that the crops are good, and there is danger that State agents and other laborers will make this prosperity a rallying cry for new agents. We are in great need of faithful canvassers. The harvest field is ripe, and the laborers are few; yet we do not want any one to enter this service because the crops are good. Those who do will drop out when the crops are a failure. Only those men are wanted whose hearts are appealed to by the needs of a lost world. No one should enter the work while times are prosperous who would not if all the crops were a failure. Our book and periodical work will doubtless be carried forward until the message has reached all nations, but it will be carried through the trying experiences of the last days by men who have learned that their resources are in God, and who are therefore not dependent upon any outward conditions.
