FIRE AT TARSUS.—On the 26th of January Tarsus, the city made famous by its connection with the history of the apostle Paul, was visited by a fire which caused a loss of 750,000. The bazaar was reduced to ruins. As the buildings had been closed some time, the fire was supposed to have been caused by rats gnawing matches of which there was a quantity on the premises.
—London, March 7. The Pall Mall Gazette's Copenhagen correspondent writes that the last mail from Iceland reports that 500 inhabitants of the Westmanna Islands group, lying to the south of Iceland, and belonging to Denmark, are probably dying of starvation. The fisheries there last year were unsuccessful, and the inhabitants, fearing their food would not last them through the winter, sent to Iceland asking for supplies.
—Professor Crookes of London claims to have been successful in weighing a ray of light. By a most delicate apparatus he has estimated that the light of a candle weighs .001728, or nearly two thousandths of a grain. Taking this as an approximate starting point, we find that the light thrown out by the sun on the earth is equal to about thirty-two grains per square foot, or fifty-seven tons to the square mile, or 3,000,000,000 tons on the whole earth, a force that, but for gravitation, would drive our planet into space.
—The inundations in Hungary are increasing. Many persons have been drowned near Posen. The railway from Posen to Thorn is threatened with destruction. A Vienna dispatch to the London News reports that fifty-five Hungarian villages near the border, are entirely submerged, the water over some of them being nineteen feet deep. A hundred factories and fifty other buildings at New Pesth have undermined and fallen. It is feared that when the waters retire, a vast number of houses in Buda and other places along the river, will fall. Twelve thousand out of the eighteen thousand inhabitants of Althofen are homeless.
—This is what P. T. Barnum told a Philadelphia audience he would do: “I will undertake, and give bonds for the fulfillment of the contract, that, if the city of Philadelphia will stop selling liquor and give me as much as was expended here for liquor last year, to run the city next year, I will pay all the city expenses; no person living within her borders shall pay taxes; there shall be no insurance on property; a good dress and suit shall be given to every poor boy, girl, man and woman; a barrel of flour shall be given to every needy and worthy person; and I will clear a half million of dollars myself by the operation. It would be the best business speculation I was ever in. Unfortunately they wouldn't give it to me. As Benjamin Franklin said, ‘We are paying too dear for our whistle.’”
Importance of Sleeping with the Mouth Shut.
From a pamphlet published by George Catlin, the famous painter and investigator of the habits, customs, character, and ethnology of the Indian tribes, the following extracts are taken. Although there may be other and greater causes for the diseases mentioned as arising from the habit of breathing through the mouth, we doubt not it greatly assists in the destructive work, and is a very injurious habit. He says:—
“When I have seen a poor Indian woman in the wilderness press the lips of her infant together as it falls asleep in its cradle in the open air, and afterward looked into the Indian multitude for the results of such a practice, I have said to myself, ‘glorious education! such a mother deserves to be nurse of emperors.’ And when I have seen the careful, tender mothers in civilized life, covering the faces of their infants sleeping in overheated rooms, with their little mouths open and gasping for breath, and afterward looked into the multitude, I have been struck with the evident evil and lasting results of this incipient stage of education; and have been more forcibly struck and shocked when I have looked into the bills of mortality, which I believe to be frightfully swelled by the results of this habit thus contracted and practiced in contravention to nature’s design.”
BREATHING THROUGH THE MOUTH NOT NATURAL.
“We are told that the breath of life was breathed into man’s nostrils—then why should he not continue to live by breathing it in the same manner? The mouth of man, as well as that of the brute, was made for the reception and mastication of food for the stomach, and other purposes; but the nostrils, with their delicate and fibrous linings for purifying and warming the air in its passage, have been mysteriously constructed, and designed to stand guard over the lungs—to measure the air and equalize its drafts during the hours of repose. The atmosphere is nowhere pure enough for man’s breathing until it has passed this mysterious refining process, and therefore the imprudence and danger of admitting it in an unnatural way, in double quantities upon the lungs, and charged with the surrounding epidemic or contagious infections of the moment. The impurities of the air which are arrested by the intricate organizations and mucus in the nose, are thrown out again from its interior barriers by the returning breath; and the tingling excitements of the few which pass them, cause the muscular involutions of sneezing, by which they are violently and successfully resisted. The air which enters the lungs is as different from that which enters the nostrils as distilled water is different from the water in an ordinary cistern or frog pond. The process of arresting and purifying the atmosphere from the poisonous ingredients while passing through the nose, though less perceptible, is not less distinct, nor less important, than that of the mouth, which stops cherry stones and fish bones from entering the stomach.”
“In man’s waking hours, when his limbs and muscles and mind are all in action, there may be but little harm in inhaling through the mouth, if he be in a healthy atmosphere, and at moments of violent action and excitement it may be necessary. But when he lies down at night to rest from the fatigues of the day, and yields his system and all his energies to the repose of sleep, and his volition and all his powers of resistance are giving away to its quieting influences, if he gradually opens his mouth to its widest strain, he lets in the enemy that chills his lungs—that racks his brain—that paralyzes his stomach—that gives him the nightmare—and during the following day, headache—toothache—rheumatism—dyspepsia, and the gout.”
“Besides the list of fatal diseases already given and which I attribute chiefly to the pernicious habit which I have explained, there are other results affecting the senses, personal appearance, and the enjoyments of life, which, though not fatal, are themselves of sufficient importance to demand its correction; such as curvature of the spine, idiocy, deafness, nightmare, polypus in the nose, malformation and premature decay of the teeth, tic-douloureux, and many others, to which the brute creation are strangers, and to most of which the savage races are but little subject.”
THE EFFECTS ON THE TEETH.
“The teeth of man, as well as the brute, are wisely constructed to answer their intended purposes through the natural term of life, and would do so, no doubt, but from abuses, one of which I consider to be the pernicious habit already explained. The saliva exuding from the gums, designed as the element of the teeth, floods every part of the mouth while it is shut, continually rising, like a pure fountain, from the gums, at the roots of and between the teeth, loosening and carrying off the extraneous matter which would otherwise accumulate, communicating disease to the teeth, and taint to the breath.”
“The native races seem to have a knowledge of these facts, and the poor Indian woman who watches her infant and presses its lips together as it sleeps in its cradle, attracts the ridicule, perhaps, or pity, of the passer-by, but secures the habit in her progeny which enables them to command the admiration and envy of the world. These people who talk little and sleep naturally, have no dentists nor dentifrice, nor do they require either; their teeth almost invariably rise from the gums and arrange themselves as regular as the keys of a piano, and without decay or aches, preserve their soundness and enamel and powers of mastication to old age; and there are no sufficient reasons assigned yet, why the same results, or nearly such, may not be produced among the more enlightened races, by similar means. Civilized man may properly be said to be an open-mouthed animal; a wild man is not. An Indian warrior sleeps, and hunts and smiles, with his mouth shut, and with seeming reluctance opens it, even to eat or to speak. An Indian child is not allowed to sleep with its mouth open, from the very first sleep of its existence; the consequence of which is, that while the teeth are forming and making their first appearance, they meet (and constantly feel) each other; and take their relative natural positions, from that healthful and pleasing regularity which has secured to the American Indians, as a race, perhaps the most beautiful teeth in the world.”
MAN'S LIFE.
The stages of man's life are truly represented in the different changes of seasons. Spring in her beauty and bloom represents youth in its height of frolicsome enjoyment, merriment, and the best time for improving the faculties. Summer, and all her full vigor and maturity, shows the manly and vigorous form of a well cultivated mind. Autumn, in her solemn mode, is like unto the man who is realizing and reaping the results of his labors. Winter, in its cold and icy form, represents man after the harvest is gathered and his stiffened body resting in the grave in the cold embrace of death.
Don't Worry About Yourself.
To regain or recover health, persons should be relieved from all anxiety concerning diseases. The mind has power over the body. For a person to think he has a disease will often produce that disease. This we see effected when the mind is intensely concentrated upon the disease of another. It is found in the hospitals that surgeons and physicians who make a speciality of certain diseases are liable to die of it themselves; and the mental power is so great that sometimes people die of disease which they only have in imagination. We have seen a person seasick in anticipation of a voyage before reaching the vessel. We have known a person to die of cancer in the stomach when he had no cancer or any other mortal disease. A blind-folded man, slightly pricked in the arm, has fainted and died from believing that he was bleeding to death. Therefore, well persons to remain well, should be cheerful and happy; and sick persons should have their attention drawn as much as possible from themselves. It is by their faith men are saved, and it is by their faith that men die. If he wills not to die he can often live in spite of disease; and if he has little or no attachment for life he will slip away as easily as a child will fall asleep.—Journal of Health.
The Evil of a Bad Temper.
A bad temper is a curse to the possessor, and its influence is most deadly wherever it is found. It is allied to martyrdom to be obliged to live with one of a complaining temper. To hear one eternal round of complaint and murmuring, to have every pleasant thought scared away by this evil spirit, is a sore trial. It is like the sting of a scorpion—a perpetual nettle, destroying your peace, rendering life a burden. Its influence is deadly; and the purest and sweetest atmosphere is contaminated into a deadly miasma wherever this evil genius prevails.
It has been said truly, that while we ought not to let the bad temper of others influence us, it would be as unreasonable to spread a blister upon the skin, and not expect it to draw, as to think of a family not suffering because of the bad temper of its inmates.
One string out of tune will destroy the music of an instrument otherwise perfect; so if all the members of a church, neighborhood, and family, do not cultivate a kind and affectionate temper, there will be discord and every evil work.—Steele.

State Quarterly Meeting.
The second Cal. State Quarterly Meeting of this fiscal year will be held with district No. 9, in San Francisco, Sabbath and First-day, April 1 and 2.
This will be an important meeting, as we now design, immediately after it, to enter upon our summer’s tent campaign. We hope to see a full attendance of the directors at this State quarterly meeting.

By W. M. Healey
LAST November I made an effort to give a course of lectures in this place, but after a few evenings the rains set in and continued so long that we thought best to wait until more favorable weather. Circumstances prevented my return until March 18, when another effort was made, and continued for ten days, giving fifteen discourses. Our audience has been from 25 to 50 besides our own people. Two adults have promised to keep the commandments of God, and one brother who had fallen away has returned penitent to the fold. Eight or ten others have admitted the truth and we hope will yet obey it. We wish the interest could be followed here but duty calls us to other fields. Our last meetings were the best of all.

California Tent.
By J. H. W.
BRN. HEALEY AND WOOD leave here this week for Fresno with the tent, expecting to pitch it immediately in that place. Fresno is the county seat of Fresno county, in the valley of the San Joaquin, and about in the center of the State. The country is somewhat newly settled, but is reported to be prospering and fast increasing in population. Bro. Church, who resides near Fresno, has for some time been urging tent labor in that place, and we invite the prayers of all that the Lord may direct and be with our dear brethren and crown their labors with success.

Meeting-House in Oakland.
By J. H. WAGGONER
By the assistance of Bro. White, the Oakland church have secured a building site at a cost of $4,000, in a desirable situation, and the work of building a house of worship has already commenced. At a meeting of the church on the evening of the 23d inst., Bro. O. B. Jones was requested by a unanimous vote to take charge of the work. A good spirit prevailed in this meeting which gives assurance of union and consequent success in the enterprise. A vote was passed that Bro. Jones shall have entire charge and management of the job.
Bro. Jones did not expect to remain in California this summer, and therefore hesitated to comply with the request, but consented to engage in it and carry it forward as far as possible while he remains. It is strongly hoped that he may remain to its completion.
What is requisite to perfect success is perfect union and consecration to the cause, so that the blessing of God may be with us.

Oakland and San Francisco.
By J. H. Waggoner
The Spirit of the Lord has been attending the work in Oakland for the past two weeks. Many have been led to view the work of the present truth in a light which they had not seen it before. Confessions of coldness and of personal wrongs have been freely made. The season at the celebration of the ordinances last Sabbath is described as a precious one. Sunday evening Sr. White spoke in the Hall and a goodly number came forward for prayers, and a good stand was taken by some who had been backslidden.
Also at San Francisco a good work has commenced. A special meeting held on the evening of the 22nd was the means of arousing many to the need of a revival, and was a preparation for the Sabbath meeting. On Sabbath sister White made an appeal, both personal and general, which most of those present appreciated. We earnestly pray that God may carry on the work in these two churches, and make them a light and an example to all in this State.

Napa.
It was my privilege to attend the Quarterly meeting at Napa, March 25 and 26. A goodly number came in from St. Helena. The reports of labor showed activity on the part of quite a portion of the members. We endeavored to show them the importance of endorsing the entire message, with the instrumentalities which the Lord in his providence is using for its advancement. These sentiments met with a hearty response from the most of those present. At this meeting Bro. E. J. Church and Bro. A. B. Atwood were ordained elders of the St. Helena church, as previously appointed.

Questions and Answers.
By M. K. W.
1. “If Christ was and is the first and only one raised from the dead, how is it that he was seen talking with Moses and Elias? See Matt. 17 : 3.”
2. “If the Sabbath begins at sunset, how is it that in the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, the two Marys went to visit Christ’s sepulchre? Did not Christ rise on the Sabbath day? See Matt. 28 : 1. SUBSCRIBER.”
1. Ans.: This question is based upon an incorrect supposition. It is nowhere stated in the Bible that Christ is “the first and only one raised from the dead.” This would conflict with plain scripture facts, for we have explicit accounts of several persons who were raised from the dead before the resurrection of Christ. Take for instance the widow’s son, 1 Kings 17, the son of the Shunammite, 2 Kings 4, the ruler’s daughter, Luke 8, and the resurrection of Lazarus.
Christ is, however, often spoken of as the “first-born,” as in Col. 1 : 15, 18; Rom. 8 : 29, as the “first-fruits of them that sleep,” in 1 Cor. 15 : 20, 23, and as the “first-begotten of the dead” in Rev. 1 : 5. But that these words do not denote exclusively priority of time is very clearly shown by Eld. Smith in his work entitled “The State of the Dead,” p. 122. He says:
“Christ is called the first-fruits in 1 Cor. 15, solely in reference to his being the antitype of the wave-sheaf, and in contrast with the great harvest that will take place at his second coming. This word is used in different senses, as we learn from Jas. 1 : 18, and Rev. 14 : 4, where it cannot have reference to antecedence in time. This is all that need be said on this word.
“The word rendered first-begotten and first-born is prototokos. This word is defined by Robinson thus: ‘Properly the first-born of father or mother;’ and, as the first-born was entitled to certain prerogatives and privileges over the rest of the family, the word takes another meaning, namely, ‘first-born, the same as the first, the chief, one highly distinguished and pre-eminent. So of Christ, the beloved Son of God. Col. 1 : 15.’ Greenfield’s definition is similar. This word is used in the same sense in the Septuagint. In Ex. 4 : 22, Israel is called the first-born; and in Jer. 31 : 9, Ephraim is called the first-born; but, in point of time, Esau was before Israel, and Manasseh before Ephraim. Their being called the first-born must therefore be owing to the rank, dignity, and station, to which they had attained.
“And hence the conclusion is not without foundation that these words, when applied to Christ, denote the pre-eminent rank and station which he holds in the great work.”
Thus it is clearly shown that Christ was not the only one nor even the first who was raised from the dead, and therefore it is not inconsistent to infer, as we necessarily do from reading Jude 9, that Moses had been raised previous to his appearing upon the Mount of Transfiguration.
2. Ans.: The term rendered “In the end of the Sabbath,” in King James’ translation, according to several eminent authors, is not the correct rendering. Barnes in his Notes on Matt. 28 : 1 says:
“The word end here means the same as, after the Sabbath, i. e., after the Sabbath was fully completed, or finished, and may be expressed in this manner: In the night following the Sabbath; for the Sabbath closed at sunset, as it began to dawn.”
“Clarke renders it “After the end of the week,” and says, “This is the translation given by several eminent critics; and in this way the word opse is used by the most eminent Greek writers.” The Emphatic Diaglott gives it thus: “Now after the Sabbath, when it began to dawn on the first day of the week,” etc. Mark also, when speaking of the same event, says, “And when the Sabbath was past,” &c. These testimonies taken together prove conclusively that our common translation of Matt. 28 : 1 is incorrect, and that Christ did not rise in the end of the Sabbath but in the beginning of the first day of the week.
