GOOD COURAGE 
BELIEVE we have reason to 
take courage and take hold of 
the work and push it forward 
in Indiana as never before. 
Those who have read the 
reports of our laborers for the last 
few weeks and months, will see that 
in nearly every place where efforts 
have been put forth, either in new 
fields or in our churches, that God 
has blessed the effort to the salvation 
of souls• and a number have been ad-
ded to our churches during the win-
ter. Many of our young people have 
been awakened and are becoming 
more interested in thb coiporter work 
and the distribution of our literature 
and a larger corps of canvassers will 
be engaged in this line of work the 
coming year. A larger number of 
oua missionary papers are being ta-
ken than at any time in the past; and 
we expect to see this circulation still 
greatly increased. Notwithstanding 
we have already raised $2,000 on the 
$150,000 Fund, at the same time our 
tithe has been higher than in the cor-
responding months of the past. 
Our brethren are also depositing 
money at the Conference office, show-
their cofidence in the general work. 
All of these things should be strong 
indications that there is a coming up 
to the help of the Lord, and we have 
reason for great encouragement. 
I wish to call special attention to 
the article by Brother Washburn in 
this issue of the REPORTER. While 
we have done well here in Indiana 
on the $150,000 Fund, we lack much 
yet of raising our portion, and I 
wish to exhort all of our church and 
Sabbath-school officers, and all our 
brethren and sisters, to take hold of 
this matter and let us see if we can 
not quickly complete this task. For 
weeks Indiana stood in the lead, but 
for the past two or three weeks two 
or three other Conferences have sur-
passed us in the reports given in the 
Review. I wish to ask that our 
church treasurers forward to our 
Conference office promptly, each week 
if possible, all the moneys they have 
on hand for this fund. I am sure 
that God will greatly bless our work 
in other lines, in Indiana, if we do 
our duty in quickly completing the 
raising of our portion of this fund. 
W. J. STONE.

THE TRUE RING 
THE following letter breathes the 
spirit of true consecration and sacri-
fice. We pray that this spirit may 
lay hold upon these who are able to 
give one hundred times as much as 
this brother in the south. This 
spirit, received by all our people, 
would close up the work of raising 
the $150,000 Fund in a day. Before 
the and comes and the work closes, 
all those who go through the fiery 
trials into the kingdom of God will 
have this spirit. 
"My dear Brother:— 
Your favor of the 19th came yester- 
day; and although I do not open 
business mail on the Sabbath, when 
I saw one letter was from you, I 
ventured to open it, assured that it 
was about our Father's business. It 
contained hook No 101 for the $150,- 
000 Fund. 
"I took it with me to the last 
meeting of the week of prayer. After 
the annual offering was taken, which 
amounted to $22.25, I presented the 
matter of this fund. I placed ten dol-
lars as a pledge after my name, not 
knowing where the money would 
come from. But I have learned since 
coming to this Southjand to lean 
hard upon the promise, 'My God 
shalt supply all your need according 
to His riches in glory" What was 
my surprise and thankfulness to find 
in the evening mail a post office order 
for just the amount I had pledged! 
"The amount paid in and pledged 
is now over thirty dollars for this 
fund, and I expect more will be given. 
One of the most touching sights I 
have lately seen was that of a mother 
who is struggling hard to meet ne-
cessities encouraging her little girl to 
place her name to the pledge beneath 
her own, then taking the hand of her 
youngest child, and inscribing his lit- 
tle name with the pledge of a gift to 
his Master. 
"Yours in the blessed hope." 
J. S. 'WASHBURN. 
FAITHFULNESS 
EVERY believer should be faithful 
in tithes and offerings; yet, lest we 
forget, the church officers should very 
frequently and kindly speak of the 
blessedness of faithfulness in these 
If there is a decrease of tithe, I won 
der if the fault is not more with the, 
officers than elsewhere? God re 
quires faithfulness on the part of the 
stewards (1 Cor. 4;2). The tithe this 
year should be an increase over last 
 
t-. 
 
year, for we have learned more about 
God's mercies, and this excites our 
love, which in turn will manifest 
itself in bringing in the tithe, even 
though we have but the scantiest 
of subsistence. Study Jacob's vow, 
—Gen. 28: 20-22. 
The message must swell into a cry, 
louder and louder with each passing 
year. True of the whole world and 
also of Indiana. We are all agreed 
on that. We should remember with 
it that the accomplishment of this 
will require an increased supply of 
means. We shall never say "enough" 
until God says, "It is enough," but 
we do not expect him to say that as 
long as probation lasts. Personal 
consecration is now needed, and 
hereafter let us spell it "purse-and-all 
consecration."

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY STUDY 
For Sabbath, March 23 
ALTHOUGH we did not get to have 
our first study at the time intended, 
I hope none failed to carry out the 
program on the fourth Sabbath in 
February. 
For a wh4le there was a lull in the 
clamor for Sunday legislation. But 
that lull is now broken. Every-
where there is a sudden cry for Sun-
day laws. Does not this portend 
the soon fulfilling of Revelation 13? 
A recent decision of the Supreme 
Court of Massachusetts is full of 
meaning to all lovers of liberty. In 
substance it is as follows: "Boston, 
Feb. 28.—Hebrews who observe Sat-
urday as the Sabbath violate the 
law by employing workmen on Sun-
day, even though the shop door is 
closed to the public, according to a 
decision of the full bench of the Su-
preme Court, Weanesday, Feb. 27. 
The decision was in the case of 
Joseph Kirschen, a tailor, who had 
his help work on Sunday." Com-
ment is unnecessary. We are face to 
face with the issue. May our Liberty 
Studies help us to stand for the 
right.

LIBERTY 
The fourth number of Liberty, now 
ready, completes the first year of this 
new magazine. As to age, it is a mere 
babe. but in influence and power it 
has proven to be a giant. Its aver-
age circulation during the nine 
months it has been published reaches 
nearly 50,-000 copies per issue. No 
doubt it will have a circulation of 
100,000 copies before the close of its 
second year. 
Thelourth number of Liberty while 
it reveals improvement along relig-
ious liberty lines in foreign countries, 
it presents conclusive evidence that 
the pagan and papal philosophy of 
union of church and state, is rapidly 
growing in favor with the United 
States. The special message for this 
time is, therefore, "Proclaim liberty 
to the captives." Let the people un-
derstand that the spirit of the gospel 
is opposed to bondage of any kind, 
and has no part in religious coertion; 
that God has left every man free to 
choose or reject divine government; 
that the right to believe and to wor-
ship includes the equal right not to 
believe and to refuse worship; that 
religious freedom is heaven-born,— a 
gift of God, and does not admit en- -
forced observances. 
The fundamental principles of relig-
ious liberty upon which the founda-
tion of this nation was built, is be-
ing eclipsed by the philosophy and 
sophistry of National Reformism, 
and those who are heaven-favored 
with a clear conception of the only 
worship and service acceptable to 
God have resting upon them a bind-
ing obligation to impart this know-
ledge to those about them. A mighty 
struggle between truth and error is 
upon this nation. The issue is clearly 
drawn, and its culmination is not 
far in the future. 
Let all the readers of the REPORTER 
ponder the present crisis and arrange 
to do their full duty in disseminating 
the gems of truth associated with 
the gospel of liberty. Send for a lib-
eral supply of the magazine and sell 
them in your community. The peo-
ple will buy them readily if properly 
presented to them. They are inter-
ested. This is a live, interesting issue 
in which all intelligent people are 
more interested than appears on the 
surface. 
Liberty is a quarterly magazine of 
32 pages. The subscription price is 
only 25 cents a year, or 25 or more 
copies in one order to one•address, 
2% cents a copy. The retail price is

FURTHER REPORT 
I HAVE just received a further re-
port of the children's work on the 
$150,000 Fund. The children of the 
Pleasant View Sabbath-school raised 
$2.80, which has been sent in to the 
Office. $1.00 of this sum is from lit-
tle Helen Rogers. Helen is only four 
years old. 
The Indianapolis church school 
has raised their fund to $11.00, and 
want to increase it still more. The 
children throughout the •Conference 
have thus far reported more money 
raised than have the young people. 
Hope this will soon be reversed. 
I am anxious that the children 
shall have credit for all they do, and 
was glad to read their first partial 
. report in a recent issue of the RE- 
PORTER. �

" THE GOOD OLD WAY " 
"Titus saith the Lord, Stand ye in 
the ways, and see, and ask for the 
old paths, where is the good way, 
and walk therein, and ye shall find 
rest for your souls." 
There is danger, in these days of 
worldly rush and change, that the 
people of God shall get away from 
the good old paths of safety the 
Lord has provided for us in the 
message for these last days. We are 
not only to ask and seek for these 
safe old paths, but "walk therein." 
Sometimes we are led to wonder 
if we do not need to come back to 
the good old way of carrying on 
home missionary work. Perhaps 
the methods of how to do the work 
are not so much the trouble as that 
lying back of the activities. All true 
missionary endeavor springs from a 
love in the heart of the believer for 
perishing souls. If this is lacking, 
the beat methods will fail. 
• Early in the history of this cause, 
nearly every believer felt burdened 
to do his part in extending the mes-
sage. All wanted a part in the 
work. Thus the tract and mission-
ary work originated. The efforts of 
the believers were focused largely 
upon two truths—the seventh-day 
Sabbath, and the coming of the 
Lord. They believed these truths; 
they talked them; they wrote to 
their friends concerning them; they 
lived them; they scattered tracts and 
Papers filled with these precious 
n►essages; and they prayed for those 
for whom they were laboring. As a 
result, believers multiplied. 
It is to emphasize the importance 
of coming back to the doing of this 
same home missionary work that 
this article is written. Many in the 
churches feel they have nothing par-
ticularly to do in any definite way in 
extending the truth. "It is such a 
little thing I can do, anyhow," they 
reason, "that it will not amount to 
much; so I will let the missionaries 
sent abroad, and the preachers and 
canvassers at home, warn the 
world." 
Suppose the little nail, poised in 
the master builder's hand should cry 
out, "0 I am only such a little bit of 
iron; why drive me into that board, 
to remain forever out of sight? 
Would that I had been made into a 
part of that grand loComotive, so 
proudly speeding on its way over 
mountain and plain; then it would 
be worth while." But who can tell 
which of the two is more useful? 
So our mite of helping to spread 
the advent message may to us seem 
of little moment, not worth the 
doing; but in the hand of the Mas-
ter Builder, that very same bit of 
expressed soul-love may be as a nail 
in a sure place, to some poor tempt-
ed, struggling one. 
Just the other day a sister had 
been talking with a person, explain-
ing the meaning of these terrible 
calamities of earthquakes, storms, 
and accidents, so rapidly coming on 
the earth. She was met with un-
belief. But a few days afterward, 
this same person was in the appal-
ling railroad wreck near Washing-
ton, D. C., in which some forty per-
sons all about him were instantly 
killed. His life was spared. After-
ward he met this same sister, and 
told her that be thought of her 
earnest words during those awful 
Moments. 
Let us stick to the old Sabbath 
and Advent doctrines. This is the 
old path to which the Holy Spirit 
will bring us back. Tracts and pa-
pers filled with these truths let us 
circulate. �
Why not subscribe for 
the Signs, or Watchman, or both. 
and mail, or give, or sell them to 
some one not acquainted with this 
blessed truth? 
If we have not this early love; if it 
has been choked out of our hearts, 
let. us go to weeding around in our 
own gardens, and praying God to 
send it into our soul once more 
Then as we go to work for others, 
the old-time missionary zeal will re-
vive, and a new life will come into 
the church. 
Noah never ceased preaching and 
talking to his generation about be-
ing saved in the ark. Neither will 
Seventh-day Adventists, true to the 
same God whom Noah served and 
obeyed, cease to tell others of the 
true Sabbath—God's holy seal—and 
the coming of the Lord. "Blessed is 
that servant, whom his Lord when 
he cometh shall find so doing."

AN INTERESTING LETTER 
(THE following is a letter written 
by one of the young men who has 
just begun canvassing at Tipton. 
Believing it will be of general inter-
est, we give it here for the benefit of 
our readers.—Ed.) 
I wish to say that altho the report 
I send is for the first three days that 
I ever canvassed for our books, I am 
greatly encouraged in the work. 
This line of work gives an experience 
which could not be obtained in any 
other way. 
I am sure that the Lord would be 
pleased to have many other young 
people go out among the people to 
distribute our literature which con-
tains so much truth for these times. 
We wish the prayers of the brethren 
and sisters that the Lord may send 
His angels before us to open the 
hearts of the people to receive the 
truth. �

up the titles of our church property 
at these places. He reports also a 
profitable visit With the brethren

ELDER STEELE has closed his meet-
ings with the Unionville church. 
There were several additions to the 
church, which was greatly strength-
ened and revived by this series of 
meetings. 
SISTERS Florence E, Graham, Destie 
0. Crandell. Louise Hile recently be-
gan work at Aubarn, using "HearIds 
of the Morning" and "Corning King". 
We aish them much of God's blessing 
as they enter this excellent line of 
gospel work. 
BROTHER A. BLAKE, in sending in 
his renewal for the REPORTER, says: 
"Enclosed you will find 25 cents in 
stamps to pay for the REPORTER an-
other year. We hail its visits with 
delight. and the information it con- 
talus is refreshing to the soul." 
ELDER YOUNG has joined Elder 
Miller in his meetings at Seymour. 
They report a good Interest. Three 
have already taken a stand for the 
truth, and they hope for others. El-
der Stone is asked to join them the 
16th and assist in the organization 
of a church. 
THE Barber's Mill and Marion 
churches have recently ordered large 
supplies of tracts for missionary 
purposes. This excellent example 
should he followed by other churches. 
Write to this office for a complete 
list of all tracts published by the de-
nomination. 
"STUDIES on Bible Election" are 
contained in the Sabbath-school

all will send orders for pamphlets 
promptly. 
ELDER BUHALTS writes very en-
couragingly of his work at Michigan 
City. Seven have recently taken their 
stand there for the truth, and with 
the eight that were there before, they 
now have a sufficient number to or-
ganize a church. He will continue to 
visit the company occasionally until 
they are fully established in the truth. 
MARCH Life and Health contains 
many articles of unusual interest. 
We trust that all of our readers will 
secure a copy if they are not already

how readily people will read this 
magazine when• they will not read 
some of our more religious literature. 
BROTHER CHAS. E. ALLEN, who is 
teaching the church-school at Rock-
lane, writes as follows: "I enjoy 
reading the Review and REPORTER. 
I would not be without these papers 
for five dollars a year. Why?—I 
could not afford to. All I have is in 
this message, ann it is a pleasure to 
read of the progress it is making. 
,May God 'richly bless all the officers 
of the Confence, is my daily prayer." 
Our readers will be pleased to see 
in this issue the first canvassers' re-
port of this year. We hope to pub-
lish reports of their work regularly 
hereafter. In the current report, the 
names of several who have never be-
fore sold our hooks, appear; in the 
next report, more new names will 
appear. Let us all pray for the suc-
cess of the new workers. May the 
angels of God go before them and 
prepare the hearts of the people for 
the message which they bear. 
THE meetings at the 23rd Street In-
dianapolis church, conducted by 
Elder Van Horn from Ohio, have 
been largely attended by our own 
brethren, and a few outsiders. There 
has been a great awakening. Three 
adults united with the church last 
Sabbath. The meetings will be con-
tinued this present week. 
THE tithe report for Fernery ap-
pears in this issue. It seems small 
compared with that of December aud 
January, but it is over one hundred 
dollars more than for February one 
year ago. But is it yet what it 
should be? According to the reports 
received by our Conference Secretary 
from our church treasurers, less than 
one half of our brethren and sisters 
are paying tithe. Why is this? Have 
they no income? How do they live? 
When Jacob was truly converted, he 
first thought of his obligation to 
God, and immediately promised the 
Lord, saying, "Of all that thou shalt 
give me I will surely giVe the tenth 
unto thee." Gen. 28:22. What an in-
crease there would be in our tithe 
should this resolve be made and car-
ried out by all our people!

ROCK LANE AND WOLF LAKE 
SINCE my last report I have labored 
with the churches at Rocklane and 
Wolf Lake. I was with the Rock lane 
church from January 25 to Feb 4, 
and found the church very much run 
down, caused by removals and apos-
tasies. There are but three or four 
families left. The attendance from 
the outside was quite small. They 
have a nice little meeting house, with 
church-school room attached. The 
school is taught by Brother Charles 
Allen and is well patronized by the 
youth of the neighborhood. I have 
not visited a school where the truth 
is taught as it is here. The children 
prize the Bible above all books, and 
they are being fitted for the church as 
fast as they reach the proper age. 
The Lord blessed in all the meet-
ings, and those that were somewhat 
despondent renewed their covenant 
with God. There were four addi-
tions to the church, and all seemed 
very much encouraged, and will, I 
believe, stand firm for the truth. 
Februaary 5 I was called to Roch-
ester to preach the funeral of our 
much esteemed and aged Sister Dun-
lap, who was one of the char er 
members of the Rochester church, 
having embraced the truth there un-
der the labors of Elders J. H. Wag-
goner and 5, H. Lane thirty-three 
years ago. She had many friends, as 
witnessed by the large concourse of 
people attending the funeral. 
From Rochester I went to Wolf 
Lake, where I found Brethren Bios-
gar and Ford, General and State Field 
Secretaries, engaged in a canvassers' 
institute held in the Wolf Lake Acad- 
emy building, with about eighteen in 
attendance. The following evening 
I commenced a series of meetings in 
the church, which we continued for 
about three weeks. The brethren 
and sisters, as well as the children, 
from the first to the close of the 
meetings, took a great interest in the 
services, and the Lord greatly blessed 
indeed. They came to the meetings 
from every direction,-young and 
old. There seemed to he but one ob-
ject, and that was to draw near the 
Lord. Mistakes and failures were 
lip w 
confessed; covenants were renewed; 
wrong habits were put away. The 
plain straight truth was delivered, 
and 'the cloud rested upon the camp. 
Thirteen souls gave their hearts to 
the Lord and united with the church. 
The institute work was a great 
success, so that the colporter and 
church work will be joined hand in 
hand. May the Lord help everyone 
now to keep his eye on the cloud and 
be ready to move as the cloud moves.

SABBATH-SCHOOL CONVENTION HELD 
AT MUNCIE, JAN. 12 
THIS convention opened at 10:15 A. 
M., with our State Sabbath-school 
Secretary, Mrs. R. W. McMahan, in 
the chair. Harry Stone of Indianap-
olis and Grover Fattic rendered a 
special piece of music. After prayer 
by Brother Hinton and the election 
of a secretary, Sister McMahan care-
fully outlined the duties of the super-
intendent and the essentials neces-
sary to a successful Sabbath-school. 
She stated that the first essential 
was a thorough organization; next 
a live superintendent and a conse-
crated, Christian secretary. Conse-
cration and a deep Christian experi-
ence should be required as qualifica-
tions for any office in the Sabbath-
school. Punctuality, also order dur-
ing intermission, are importune fac-
tors to give the Sabbath-school a 
proper mold. The offerings should 
never be used for home expenses, but 
should be sent on to the most needy 
fields for which they are given. 
A most excellent paper was read 
by Dr. Amy Hawk on "Co-operation 
01 Parents and Tearchers.7 They 
labor for a common end,— the res-
toration of the image of God in the 
soul, that will bring about a har-
monious development of the spiritual, 
physical and the intellectual. Paren-
tal co-operation might be summed 
up in Deut. 6:3-9 and 20. Brethren 
Hinton, Fattic, Johnson and rimith, 
also Sister Hinton, Brown, and Mc-
Mahan, took part in the discussion 
of this question. The children of the 
Muncie Sabbath-school then rendered 
a very beautiful and appropriate 
song. This was followed by a paper 
entitled" The Truth Hammer and 
How to Use It," by Sister Hinton, 
and discussed by Brethen Fattic and 
Hinton. In the hands of skilled 
workman much may he accomplish- 
ed by its use. They, with it, are to 
build structures that will stand:the 
fiery test, when this world is to be 
wrapped in awful destruction. 
Miss Ethel Anderson read an essay 
on "The Model Pupil." He must be 
one who studies his lesson, co-oper; 
ates with the teacher, always pres-
ent and never tardy, willing to car-
ry out any duty placed upon him. 
The afternoon session was opened 
with prayer. Special music was ren-
dered by the Muncie and Beath Sab-
bath-schools, assisted by Harry 
Stone of Indianapolis. The opening 
subject was "Consecrated for Ser-
vice," by Grover R. Fattic, followed 
by a consecration meeting in which 
all who spoke expressed a determi-
nation to do more to help to for-
ward this message. From a dozen 
one-minute speeches upon "How I 
study my Sabbath-school Lesson 
for Myself and with my Children," 
the following suggestions are worth 
consideration: First, take Sabbath 
afternoon and not wait until late in 
the week. Second, early in the morn-
ing before the pressing duties crowd 
themselves upon us. Third, take 
Friday evening at family worship. 
Fourth, ask the Saviour's help and 
guidance. Fifth, make use of the 
helps provided, and not narrow 
down to the lesson pamphlet alone. 
A very interesting part of the af-
ternoon program was a recitation' 
entitled "The Passing of the Death 
Angel," by Maggie Johnson. This 
was followed by a duet entitled 
Passover," by Twyla Hinton and 
Grover Fattic. �
Brother Hinton 
spoke at length on "Reaping the 
Harvest by Personal Work." When 
the time comes that a thousand 
fall at our side and ten thousand at 
our right hand, unless we have been 
faithful in doing perional work in 
the Sabbath-school and in our homes 
we will see some fall whom we might 
have saved if we had been more 
faithful in doing personal work. 
After a vote of thanks to the mem-
bers of the Muncie Sabbath-school 
for their generous hospitality ex-
tended to the visiting delegates from 
Anderson, Beath, Middletown, and 
other points, the convention ad- 
journed. �
