Adventists Sail for European Conference

AN unusually large party leaves New York for London, Wednesday, April 30. The list is as follows: by the steamship “Oceanic,” Elder A. G. Daniells, Mrs. A. G. Daniells, and son Grovenor; Elders H. W. Cottrell, C. W. Flaiz, H. Shultz, N. P. Nelson; Mrs. N. P. Nelson; Brethren G. W. Bailey, E. R. Palmer, Ernest Taylor, W. O. James; Joseph Brandt, Mrs. Joseph Brandt, Miss Brandt; Chas. E. Holmes, Mrs. Holmes; Miss Maude Morrison, Miss Linnie Belden; W. B. Scott, Mrs. W. B. Scott, and two children; Willie White. By the steamship “St. Louis,” April 30: Elder Jean Vuilleumier, Mrs. Mina Vuilleumier; Brethren A. A. Carscallan and L. A. Hartford; and Brother and Sister W. H. Olmstead. Brother Joseph Booth and family will follow on May 7. Brethren Daniells, Cottrell, Flaiz, Shultz, Nelson, and Palmer go as delegates to the European General Conference which will be held in London, May 15-30. Brother Vuilleumier is returning to his field of work on the Continent, having been restored to health since coming to America. Brother Booth will attend the conference on his way to his field of work in Central Africa. Brother Willie White, who has been for several years an employee in the Review Office, will connect permanently with the London publishing house. Brethren Bailey, Taylor, James, Brandt, Holmes, Scott, Carscallan, Hartford, and Olmstead expect to remain permanently in England, and to unite with the workers already engaged in the circulation of our literature. Brother E. R. Palmer will remain after the conference to assist in organizing and developing the canvassing work in the British field. We hope our brethren and sisters will have a comfortable voyage, and that all the workers will be greatly prospered in the work to which they go.

The Message in Central Africa

ABOUT ten years ago the Lord led Mr. Joseph Booth, who was then in England, to go to Nyassaland, Central Africa, to assist in carrying the gospel to the native tribes in that part of the dark continent. In passing through Cape Town, South Africa, he met Elders A. T. Robinson and I. J. Hankins, and Sister Hettie Hurd (now Sister Haskell), who called his attention to the message for this time, but he did not see its importance then, and hastened on to Central Africa. After reaching his field of work, he found Brother George James, a former student in Battle Creek College, who went to that part of Africa about twelve years ago as a self-supporting missionary. Brother James urged the message again upon his attention, but while not opposing it, he did not decide to accept it, and Brother James left him for other fields. A little later a native chief, who had listened to Mr. Booth's teaching, charged him with inconsistency in claiming to teach and obey God's words when he was acting contrary to the plain teaching of the fourth commandment. Some of his native converts, who heard this statement, decided afterwards to observe the seventh day as the Sabbath according to the commandment, even though Mr. Booth continued to observe the first day of the week.
In 1897 Mr. Booth came to America, with the determination of looking carefully into the Sabbath question and settling it. In the Lord's providence he met the Seventh-day Baptist brethren, at Plainfield, N. J., and after studying the matter carefully with them, he accepted the Sabbath truth, and began the observance of the seventh day of the week. He then returned to Central Africa as a Sabbath-keeping missionary, and for about four years worked in affiliation with the Seventh-day Baptists. His mind, however, often reverted to the message which had been called to his attention by the brethren in Cape Town, and later by Brother James, and he decided to come to America for the purpose of meeting with the Seventh-day Adventists, and learning more fully concerning these things. Arriving in New York, after considerable inquiry he found our people, and met with Brother and Sister Haskell. Later he attended a portion of the Lake Union Conference at Chicago, and there related his experience in finding the truth, and told of his work in Central Africa.
By request of the General Conference committee, Brother Booth came to Battle Creek last week, and our people had the privilege of hearing him on the Sabbath. Friday evening he spoke to the nurses, helpers, and students at the Sanitarium. Sabbath forenoon he spoke at the Tabernacle, and again in the afternoon. It is impossible to give here any abstract of Brother Booth's talks, but we hope to present a full report later. We can only say that all who heard the recital of his experiences and his invitation to this people to accept the burden of the work in that far-off field, were deeply impressed with the opening providence of God in bringing to us such an opportunity. The sweet Spirit of the Lord seemed to rest upon the congregation, and to witness to the testimony borne concerning the manifest working of the Lord in behalf of the peoples still in darkness.
At the close of the afternoon meeting, by a unanimous rising vote, the Battle Creek church expressed their approval of the plan of entering upon mission work in Nyassaland, and pledged themselves to support Brother Booth in that field for one year. Later the church board voted to recommend to the church to appropriate six hundred dollars, from missionary funds now in hand, for the payment of Brother Booth's traveling expenses in returning to Central Africa. We believe the church will be blessed in thus responding to the call for help in carrying the message into this new field.
It is expected that Brother Booth will sail from New York on May 7, and after attending the European General Conference in London, he will proceed at once to Central Africa again. The Mission Board hope to be able to send two or more workers with him, and of this we shall speak later.
It is evident, as we accept the responsibility under God of carrying the advent message to all the world in this generation, that the Lord will open ways before us, and raise up those whose training and experience will enable them to render efficient service in the one great effort. May the Lord grant us wisdom to recognize every such providential opening, and the courage to accept the responsibility which may come with it.

Relief of the Schools Coupon

By Editor

The coupon for the relief of the schools will be found on page 20. Do not overlook it and the accompanying article.

New Sanitarium Cornerstone Laying

The work on the foundation for the new Sanitarium is progressing rapidly. It is expected that public exercises in connection with the laying of the corner stone of the new building will be held on Sunday, May 4.

Fifty Years of Service

By Editor

WE are sure that the readers of the REVIEW, thousands of whom have known the senior editor personally, will join with the other members of the editorial staff in extending to him their hearty congratulations on the completion of his fifty years of service in this office. It is no common experience to have the privilege of rounding out half a century of honorable service in the same institution. During this time many changes have taken place in the history and geography of the world, but amid all these there has been no more important movement than the very work with which our esteemed fellow worker has been connected, and which has largely grown up during this half century. If it should please the Lord that our brother should tarry till he come, we shall be glad to stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the conflict until that glorious day.

Important Notice

By W. A. Spicer

In the Review for May 13 there will be printed a report of an address by Brother Joseph Booth, in which he gives some account of his personal experiences in mission work in Central Africa. We recommend that this be used in the churches in the place of the usual second Sabbath reading, and that it be read on the third Sabbath of the month, instead of the second. Church officers will please bear this in mind, and plan accordingly. Remember that no second Sabbath reading will be sent out in May.
