PASSING AWAY. 
ONE by one, the links that bind us 
To this earth and make life sweet, 
Slip from out our clinging fingers, 
Break beneath our faltering feet. 
One by one, our loved ones perish, 
Passing from our sight away, 
While to us are left life's heartaches 
And the toil and heat of day. 
Though we ever fain would cherish 
Sweetest memories of the past, 
Jesus to us gently whispers, 
"Earthly joys can never last." 
One by one, we'll leave behind us 
Memories of hope and pain, 
Waiting for that home of beauty 
Where our joys shall live again. 
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus ; 
He, our daily strength will be, 
While his love and peace and comfort, 
Evermore flow full and free.

THE GREAT CONTROVERSY. 
( Concluded.) 
THESE principles are to be the 
foundation of education in God's 
church to-day. The rules given by 
— A him are to be observed and respected. 
God has enjoined this. His govern-
ment is moral. Nothing is to be done 
Eby compulsion. Truth is to be the 
prevailing power. All service is to 
be done willingly, and for the love of 
God. All who are honored with posi-
tions of influence are to represent 
God ; for when officiating, they are 
in the place of God. In everything 
their actions must correspond to the 
importance of their position. The 
higher the position the more dis-
tinctly will self-sacrifice be revealed if 
they are fit for the office. �
Every 
heart that is controlled by these prin-
ciples will be loyal. But when those 
who profess to be in God's service 
resort to accusation, they are adopt-
ing Satan's principles to cast out 
Satan ; and this never will work. 
In the councils of heaven it was 
decided that principles must be acted 
upon that would not at once destroy 
Satan's power; for it was God's pur-
pose to place things upon an eternal 
basis of security. Time must be 
given for Satan to develop the prin-
ciples which were the foundation of 
his government. The heavenly uni-
verse must see worked out the princi-
ples which Satan declared were supe-
rior to God's principles. God's order 
must be contrasted with Satan's order. 
The corrupting principles of Satan's 
rule must be revealed. The princi-
ples of righteousness expressed in 
God's law must be demonstrated as 
unchangeable, perfect, eternal. 
The Lord saw the use Satan was 
making of his powers, and he set be-
fore him truth in contrast with false-
hood. Time and time again during 
the controversy, Satan was ready to 
be convinced, ready to admit that he 
was wrong. But those he had de-
ceived were also ready to accuse him 
of leaving them. What should he 
do ?—submit to God, or continue in a 
course of deception ? He chose to 
deny truth, to take refuge in mis-
statements and fraud. 
The Lord allowed Satan to go on, 
and demonstrate his principles. God 
did reveal that his principles were 
right, and he carried the worlds un-
fallen and the heavenly universe with 
him ; but it was at a terrible cost. 
His only begotten Son was given up 
as Satan's victim. The Lord Jesus 
Christ revealed a character entirely 
opposite to that of Satan. As the 
high priest laid aside his gorgeous, 
pontifical robes, and officiated in the 
white linen dress of a common priest, 
so Christ emptied himself, and took 
the form of a servant, and offered the 
sacrifice, himself the priest, himself 
the victim. 
By causing the death of the Sover-
eign of heaven, Satan defeated his 
own purpose. The death of the Son 
of God made the death of Satan un-
avoidable. He was allowed to go on 
until his administration was laid open 
before the worlds unfallen and before 
the heavenly universe.• By shedding 
the blood of the Son of God, he up-
rooted himself from the affections of 
the unfallen beings. He was seen 
446 (2) �
ATLANTic UNION OLEANEl2 
by all to be a liar, a thief, and a 
murderer. 
God sees that the same course of 
action is being pursued the world 
over. Men and women come to the 
place where the road diverges ; it is 
either right or wrong. Thousands 
upon thousands clothe themselves in 
what they suppose to be an impene-
trable disguise, and choose the wrong. 
An attempt to make their course plain 
to others by abrupt disclosures would 
only cause a larger number to choose 
the side of wrong. Thus the wrong-
doers would be sustained, and many 
souls would be ruined. 
To-day Satan is working upon hu-
man minds by his crooked principles. 
These will be adopted and acted upon 
by some who claim to be loyal and 
true to God's government. How 
shall we know that they are disloyal 
and untrue ?—" By their fruits ye 
shall know them." God does not 
force any one. He leaves all free to 
choose. But he says, "By their fruits 
ye shall know them." The Lord will 
not write as wise those who can not 
distinguish between a tree that bears 
thorn-berries and a tree that bears 
olives. 
Individually, we are deciding our 
eternal destiny, deciding whether we 
shall enjoy the highest honor that can 
be given to man, even an eternal 
weight of glory, or be ranked with 
Satan by possessing his character, by 
dishonoring God because we profess 
to be Christians while misrepresent- 
_ �
ing Christ. Those who choose to re-
veal the character of the arch-deceiver 
identify themselves with him beyond 
the possibility of a change, because 
they choose not to see themselves as 
wrong. This was the course that 
Satan pursued.

COME TO THE FEAST. 
MAY be pardoned for writing a 
few words more with reference to the 
general meetings about to be held 
throughout the State. I feel that the 
importance of these meetings can not 
be emphasized too much. 
As I have visited among the peo-
ple since these meetings were an-
nounced I have found an alarming in-
difference to them on the part of 
many who profess to love the cause 
of present truth. Some were making 
no preparations to attend the meet-
ings, although but a few miles from 
where they were to be' held. What 
does this indicate ? The Saviour said, 
" Because iniquity shall abound the 
love of many shall wax cold." Is not 
that the condition surrounding us 
now on every hand ? And is it pos-
sible that this scripture is being ful-
filled by Seventh-day Adventists to-
day ? Certain it is that many are 
manifesting by their lack of interest 
in the cause of present truth, their 
lack of zeal for the advancement of 
the third angel's message, that they 
have lost their first love. It is be-
cause the tendency to do this was to 
be so characteristic of our times, be-
cause of the corroding, demoralizing 
effect of the iniquity which prevails 
that we are commanded to " not for-
sake the assembling of ourselves to-
gether," but to " exhort one another," 
and to consider one another to pro-
voke unto love and to good works," and 
" so much the more as we see the day 
approaching." When we consider 
the conditions that surround us in the 
world, and consider what is demanded 
of us as representatives of God in 
the earth, and think of the great 
work that remains to be done before 
the Lord comes, and that we must do 
it, or be weighed in the balances and 
found wanting, we can better appreci-
ate the value of these meetings. 
Surely if it was so important that 
ancient Israel spend so much of their 
time in attending the great annual 
gatherings of that people which were 
designed to preserve those national 
and religious peculiarities which 
marked them as a separate people 
from all the rest of the world, and to 
guard them from the iniquities of the* 
nations around them, in order that 
they might be the better fitted to give 
the gospel to those nations, how much 
more important it is that we upon* 
whom has been laid the great respo'n-
sibility of giving the last warning 
message to the world, shall assemble 
together at frequent intervals that we 
may have the benefit of association 
together, and encourage one another 
in the upward way, pray with and for 
one another, and counsel and plan to-
gether for the advancement of the 
cause so dear to the heart of every 
true child of God. 
What if it does cost you a few dol-
lars to attend these meetings, my 
brother ? It will cost you a great deal 
more if you lose the help they will be 
to you, and perhaps lose the crown of 
life as the result. 
Do not allow Satan to cheat you out 
of the blessing you may receive by 
telling you that you can not afford to'* 
lose the time, and can not afford to 
go. �
Don't believe him, for it isn't so. 
You can not afford to stay away. 
Eternal interests are at stake, and' 
they are of infinitely more value than 
any earthly considerations which 
might serve to keep you at home. 
Come with a full determination 
both to receive and to give all the 
blessing you can, and you will go 
home far richer than when you came. 
F. E. PAINTER. 
CONSECRATION NEEDED. 
I HAVE been reading in the Review' 
and Herald concerninc, chain-letters. 
and what they cost. Dear brethren 
and sisters, 1 desire to ask you some 
questions. Do you find a " Thus :u 
saith the Lord " for chain-letters ? If 
not, we, as the people of God, should 
have nothing to do with them. 
The second question is, What is 
our duty in regard to reverence in 
God's house ? Should we be talking 
and laughing, and letting the children 
play around ? I have been reading in 
the last Review what a dear sister 
wrote on this subject; and how 
ashamed she was to see the confusion 
in the house of God among our people 
when she had invited a friend to g o 
with her to meeting. Then, out of 
courtesy, she went to her friend's 
meeting one Sunday, and found the 
reverence which should be seen in 
the meeting on the Lord's Sabbath. 
It hurts my heart to read of such 
coldness and irreverence among our 
people. I know that I am nothing in 
and of myself. I have no merit of 
my own. All I have and are, is given 
to my Saviour, and when I take my 
pen to write a letter, I say, Lord, help 
me to write to thy honor and glory, 
and let him put the thoughts into my 
heart to write. 
I beseech you, brethren and sisters, 
let each one of us who has put on 
Christ, live out Christ in our daily 
life, so that the world may see that we 
have something that they have not. 
Why is it that God's people are al-
ways backsliding ? When will God's 
people learn to do their duty for the 
sake of the living Word of the living 
God without being hired ? If we 
stick to " Thus saith the Lord," we 
shall be on safe ground. 
Pray for me that my last days may 
be my best days in the service of my 
Saviour. He loved me and gave his 
life for my sins that he might deliver, 
not only me, but every one from this 
present evil world, according to the 
will of God and our Father, to whom 
be glory forever and ever. My heart 
is with the work of God, and I want 
to get rid of every thing that is sinful. 
0 for that meek and holy Spirit of 
Christ. 
Christ is near to come. Yea, his 
Spirit is in our hearts if we are his. 
Let us search every heart by that per-
fect Word—that Word that can not lie, 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
and which will judge every one of us 
according as our works shall be. 
Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly.

MISSIONARY 
DEPARTMENT 
SHALL WE USE IT? 
THE Signs of the Times is our mis-
sionary paper and has been the tr. cans 
of reaching many persons with the 
truth in the past. 
Some of our churches have taken 
clubs of this paper and have distrib-
uted them each week ; this is cer-
tainly a good work, and should be 
continued. 
The winter evenings will soon be 
here, and many will find more time to 
read than they do during the busy 
summer months. If any of our Ver-
mont churches do not have a club of 
the Signs, will they not consider pray-
erfully the matter of using this paper 
in their missionary efforts this fall 
and winter ? 
Some years ago while laboring in 
the State of Montana an isolated 
Sabbath-keeper began to send us 
money for the support of the work. 
I traveled nearly two hundred miles 
to visit him, and learned that he re-
ceived the truth by first getting hold 
of a copy of the Signs of the Times, 
then subscribing for the paper and 
reading it. This man and his family 
are still firm in the truth. 
Have you a friend, a relative, an 
acquaintance not in the truth ? See 
that they have a copy of the Signs 
each week for a few weeks, then ask 
them if they like the paper. If you 
can not see them personally, send 
them the paper by mail, and then 
write them with reference to it. 
Brethren, we should use every means 
within our reach to warn our fellow 
men of the rapidly approaching doom 
of this wicked world. 
If we are saved, we should not be 
satisfied to enter the eternal city of 
(3) 447 
God alone. We must make a mighty 
effort to take someone with us. Oh ! 
what joy will fill our hearts if we shall 
meet a few persons in the kingdom of 
God who are there because we were 
permitted by the Lord to carry the 
truth to them! �
Precious privilege! 
The use of the Signs of the Times 
may enable you to share in the joy of 
your Lord. Try it, try it at once. 
May the Lord help us to be awake 
to every opportunity and to every 
duty, for the time in which to work is 
very short. 
J. W. WATT. 
OUR OFFERINGS FOR MISSIONS. 
ENVELOPES for the weekly offerings 
have been supplied to all of our 
churches, as far as we have had calls 
direct from the church, or have been 
requested to send them by the officers. 
We want to urge that not a single en-
velope be wasted. Let them be used 
faithfully and regularly. Put some 
offering into the envelope each week, 
however small. 
Can we say it is too much to remem-
ber our missions each week ? The 
needs of our workers in the home 
field are liberally provided for from 
the tithe, a regular income, while our 
missionaries in regions far more 
densely populated, with scarcely any 
facilities for work, and much more 
work to do, must depend upon our 
offerings, only too frequently given 
irregularly. Has the time not come 
to have a regular income for this most 
important phase of our work? 
If every one in our churches will 
now plan to give regularly to this 
fund, our offerings for missions will 
be increased at least threefold. An 
average of even ten cents a week 
from every Sabbath-keeper would 
bring in four times as much as we 
are now receiving, and mean a con-
tinual inflow into the treasury of one 
thousand dollars a day. 
To accomplish this, none who are 
now giving should give less, but those 
448 (4) �
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
who are not doing anything, or at 
most, very little, should take hold 
with a determination to support this 
work, until the world has been warned 
and the Master has said, It is fin-
ished." If the gift is only a penny 
but represents the widow's mite- 
- all her living " �
the blessing of Je- 
sus will go with it ; for he still sits 
over against the treasury, noting the 
spirit with which we return to him 
of the bounties we enjoy at his hand. 
Now as never before, if we share 
in this work until its final triumph, 
the one all-absorbing passion of our 
lives must be to give this message 
quickly to all the world ; for not until 
then will Jesus come. 
Intensity is taking possession of 
every earthly element. On every 
hand we see evidences that the final 
destruction of all things is at hand. 
But thank the Lord his people are 
falling into line, ready to obey his 
marching orders, " Go forward." Let 
us take heed lest we be left behind. 
MISSION BOARD. 
VERMONT. 
DEAR BRETHREN: The publishers 
report to us that our trade with them 
for the six months ending Sept. 30, 
1902, is some $600 less than it was 
for the same period last year. We 
are asked to explain the cause for 
this, and " can anything be done to 
make up these losses in the remaining 
months of the year ?" What shall 
we say ? Who shall we hold respon-
sible for this showing? And remem-
ber it is not the financial part which 
is considered " losses:" but when we 
consider that it is $600 worth of read-
ing matter which ought to be in 
the hands of the people to help edu-
cate them in the truths for these times, 
do we realize that there may be a 
reckoning day which we shall be sorry 
to meet ? Yes, I am laying the "cause" 
upon the people and not wholly upon 
the few canvassers, for the command 
to let our light shine is to you and to 
me, as well as to them. Then how 
shall we make up for these spiritual 
" losses "? Can they be made up ? 
Are you not fearful that some one may 
have gone to the grave without the 
knowledge of a Saviour because of 
these " losses "? Shall we not con-
sider these questions in love to our 
neighbor, and seek to do all that can 
be done with the abundant help prom-
ised by the One who so loved us? 
No, but the whole world, our neigh-
bor as well as you and me, that he 
gave his only begotten Son for the 
redemption of all? Shall we not 
awake to the opportunities about us, 
and do some thing in the interest of 
Christ's work here upon earth ? 
One of our librarians reports thus : 
" I am sorry to have to send in such 
a report as this "—a report of so very 
little done (if the report is represent-
ative of the society) that it ought to 
cause a blush of shame to come to 
the face of every member in view of 
all that the Lord has clone for us. 
And what was the " excuse "?—The 
same as those that are given in the 
parable ( Luke 14:18-20). In view 
of the shortness of the time before us, 
do you wonder that the Lord may 
have reason for " being angry " and 
saying to some to-day, " Go out 
quickly "? Oh brother, we have been 
" bidden " to the " great supper," but 
are we filled with love for the Lord ? 
Do we love our neighbor as ourselves ? 
In view of some of the questions 
given above, and also of the great 
possibilities for you and me, shall we 
not come humbly to the throne of 
grace, repent, and consecrate our lives 
to the Lord unreservedly ? Will you 
not consider the work here in this lit-
tle part of the vineyard, and study, 
pray, work and follow on till the Lord 
shall come ? Then shall we have con-
fidence and not be " sorry " or 
ashamed for we know that he is faith-
ful that promised and, if we are faithful 
surely we shall rejoice at the "Come, 
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the 
kingdom prepared for you from the 
foundation of the world." "Go ye " 
" quickly " " while it is clay : the night 
cometh, when no man can work." 
Therefore have I set my face like a 
flint, and I know that I shall not be 
ashamed." " Wherefore the rather, 
brethren, give diligence to make your 
calling and election sure : for if ye do 
these things, ye shall never fall." "But 
sanctify the Lord God [ Love ] in your 
hearts," " press toward the mark for 
the prize of the high calling of God 
in Christ Jesus." " Meditate upon 
these things ; give thyself wholly to 
them." " Seek " " first the kingdom of 
God and his righteousness," " for in 
doing this thou shalt both save thy-
self, and them that hear thee." May 
the Lord bless you that you may " do 
all " things to the glory of God, and 
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be 
with you.

OUR CHILDREN AS MISSIONARIES. 
NEARLY all great missionaries be-
gan their missionary career when 
they were children. We have been 
looking forward to the time when 
God would in a special manner use 
our children to proclaim the truth. 
But we may be sure that in that time 
God will select those whom we have 
already been encouraging to do mis-
sionary work as far as they were able 
and had opportunity. The children 
all over the land are taking hold of 
the selling of the _Life Boat with the 
greatest enthusiasm and determina-
tion. Is it not possible that this is a 
providential opening for the children 
of this denomination to become initi-
ated into missionary experiences ? 
One mother said as she was being 
urged to allow her daughter to sell 
Life Boats, " I fear what will happen 
to her if I do." But we fear more 
what will happen to our children if 
they do not begin, as never before, 
some decided missionary enterprise. 
Something has been happening to our 
children for years. Thousands of 
At, 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER �
(5) 449 
them have drifted into the world be-
cause it presented something to them 
that they could do. We have been 
slow to put something in their hands 
that they could do for God and hu- 
* inanity. The children of this gener-
ation are wiser than the children of 
light. There are ten thousand chil-
dren in this denomination who could 
b sell five Life Boats a month almost 
as easily as they could carry their 
lunch basket to school, and this would 
make a disposal of fifty thousand 
L1/4 Boats, and who can measure the 
good they might accomplish for the 
world and for our children while they 
are selling them. " Where no wood 
is there the fire goeth out." If we do 
not arise up and supply our children 
with missionary fuel, we need not be 
surprised if the missionary fire dies 
out. �
Send for a liberal supply of 
Life Boats at two cents a copy. Give 
your children intelligent instruction 
as to what places it is proper for them 
to visit. Pray with them before they 
start out, and in almost all instances 
they will return with animated reports 
and anxious to do something more.

Parents are writing us about what 
a blessing it has been to their chil-
dren. 'The October _Life Boat is to 
be far the best number that has ever 
been issued. Send for a liberal quan-
tity, and if your children do not suc-
ceed in selling them all, then dispose 
of them yourself. 
DAVID PAULSON, M. D. 
A MISSION ROMANCE. 
" Is a worth our while to hold the 
meeting to-night, do you think ? 
asked a Londoner of his friend one 
raw December night in 1856. 
" Perhaps not," answered the other, 
" but I do not like to shirk my work, 
and as it was announced, some one 
might co m e ." 
" Come on, then," said the first 
speaker. " I suppose we can stand it." 
That night was as black as ink, and 
the rain poured in torrents, but the 
meeting of the English Missionary 
Society for the Propagation of the 
Gospel was held, in spite of the ele-
ments, in a brightly-lighted chapel in 
Covent Garden. A gentleman, pass-
ing by, took refuge from the storm, 
and made up half the audience that 
listened to a powerful plea for the 
North American Indians in British 
Columbia. 
" Work thrown away," grumbled 
the Londoner, as they made their way 
back to Regent Square. 
" Who knows ?" replied the mis-
sionary. " It was God's word, and 
we are told that it shall not fall on the 
ground unheeded." 
Was it work thrown away ? 
The passer-by who stopped in by 
accident, tossed on his couch all 
night, thinking of the horrors of 
heathenism, of which he had heard 
that night for the first time. And in 
a month he had sold out his business, 
and was on his way to his mission 
work among the British Columbian 
Indians, under the auspices of the 
church missionary society. 
About thirty-five years afterward 
we found him, surrounded by " his 
children," as he loves to call them, 
the center and head of the model 
mission station of the northwest coast, 
an Arcadian village of civilized Indi-
ans. It is the romance of missions. 
The missionary referred to is Wil-
liam Duncan, missionary to the Met- 
lakaatla Indians. �

The FIELD 
GREATER NEW YORK CONFERENCE. 
TEE first annual session of the 
Greater New York Conference was 
held at the church 159 East One 
Hundred and Twelfth Street, New 
York City, October 7 to 1'2. Quite 
a full delegation was present from 
each church in the Conference, and 
the delegates were in regular attend-
ance throughout the session. The 
ministers who were present, either all 
or a portion of the time, were Elders 
Haskell, Franke, Miles, Warren, 
Jayne, Reinke, Meleen (Scandina-
vian), Edwards, Keslake, Bell, Ste-
vens and the writer. The publishing 
interest was represented in a special 
way by Brother S. N. Curtiss ; but 
best of all, the Lord was with us in a 
remarkable manner, which was appre-
ciated by all present. The Confer-
ence appointed its usual committees 
through the chair, so no time was lost 
in bringing business before the ses-
sion. The various departments of 
local conference work were carefully 
considered and planned for as best 
we could with the number of labor-
ers we had to supply and the amount 
of means we have to do with. There 
is an old tract society debt of $1,800 
of many years' standing, which came 
to this Conference from the former 
Atlantic Conference of which this 
Conference is a part. This we could 
not provide for at once, but must se-
cure it at the earliest moment possi-
ble, and thus free ourselves from this 
bond and then give ourselves and 
our money to aggressive work both 
in the city and in the regions beyond 
our home land. 
'The " Object Lessons work was 
considered, and we found that our 
quota was not nearly all sold ; but in. 
that meeting we sold eight hundred 
and sixty-four books to private indi-
viduals who were present. 
;If all otfi-, 
ers who were not in attendance would 
450 (6) 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
take on an average as many, it would 
cledi the conference quota ; and then 
as faithful assistants one of another, 
by words of good cheer and in every 
other way possible, each could press 
out among his neighbors and make a 
final disposal of his books and would 
then be prepared for whatever else, 
and for wherever else, the Master 
may call to service. 
There was a query in the minds of 
some of the delegates as to just what 
would be the best way to officer the 
Conference, which delayed aggressive 
work for some time during the first 
part of the session ; but after the cru-
cial point was passed, there was as 
complete unanimity of both opinion 
and expression by voting as at any 
conference I ever attended. 
The Review, Signs, Sentinel, Good 
Health, and our local papers received 
their share of attention. Elder Franke 
was requested to take local super-
vision under the Conference Commit-
tee, of the Manhattan division of the 
city, Elder Warren to have similar 
charge of the Brooklyn section of the 
Conference. Elder Edwards will 
direct the work in the Bronx section. 
Elder Reinke will have local direction 
of the German work. Elder Haskell 
will have charge of the mission work 
and Elder Meleen of the Scandina-
vian work. 
Of course we have in this great city 
some grave perplexities to encounter ; 
but having learned to rejoice when 
we meet them, we press happily on-
ward in the line of duty. 
Elder Franke will soon resume 
holding meetings in Carnegie Lyceum. 
The outlook is more favorable now 
than ever before for a mighty work to 
be done in the nation's metropolitan 
city. The Spirit of the Lord must 
work in some remarkable way if the 
attention of three and one-half mil-
lions of people is arrested to hear the 
soul-testing message. 
All returned to their fields of labor 
full of hope and courage.

SABBATH, October 4, six were re-
ceived into the Rutland church, four 
by letter, and Elder Purdon baptized 
two dear souls. 
The tithe for the Rutland church 
for the quarter ending September 30 
is $410.90 ; donations to foreign mis-
sions, $8.94 ; Sabbath-school dona-
tion, $5.72 ; total, $434.56.

As THE result of the tent meetings 
held in this city there have been seven 
souls added to the church by bap-
tism, and one on profession of faith. 
Besides this there are five others who 
have also taken their stand, for the 
truth and are waiting baptism. 
There is still a good interest and 
many inquirers. We have hired a 
hall, and will hold meetings Tuesday, 
Thursday and Sunday nights" during 
the winter. 
Encouraged by what the Lord has 
already done, we feel strong to press 
the battle further.

WE have been in this place now 
eight weeks, and it has been a time of 
testing hearts. Never have I labored 
in a place where the people are so 
completely under the influence of the 
church. It seems to them like com-
mitting the unpardonable sin to at-
tend any other place of worship, and 
they are not willing even that those 
who have never made a profession 
should come to our tent. It seems so 
strange that in this enlightened coun-
try men can be educated to such a 
low standard. The Methodists have 
controlling power, and beware to the 
one who dares bring any other gospel 
to the people. 
With all of these perplexities to 
meet, nevertheless our meetings have 
been well attended by an independent 
class. God has wonderfully blessed 
in presenting the truth. There has 
been a solemnity characterizing the 
services that has been healthy, and 
the result is that a goodly number are 
now observing the Sabbath and many 
more are investigating. �
Time will 
show a strong church here. We are .0. 
about to take down our tent, and put 
in its place a tabernacle which we 
have for winter work. 
Elder John F. Jones and wife will 
remain and carry on the work, and I 
shall go to another field as the Lord 
seems to direct. May the Lord lead 
out his people to pray for the labor-
ers in the forefront of the battle that 
success may attend their work.

AFTER the camp-meeting at Park-
ersburg I started to- my field of labcr 
in Roane County, and began meetings 
at Willowbend schoolhouse. I have 
continued the meetings two weeks 
with a good interest. Five young 
ladies accepted the truth and came 
forward for baptism; and two brothers 
who had been using tobacco, and had 
been growing cold, also came forward 
for baptism after cleaning up to do 
their first works. Seven precious 
souls were buried in Christ, and 
arose to walk in newness of life. 
I am happy to say that fine new 
members were added to the church ; 
and the ordinances were celebrated. 
The morning of October 11 was a 
day long to be remembered. From 
the first of our meeting the Spirit of 
the Lord began to make impressions 
upon many hearts. It was a good 
day for us all. The meeting was ex-
cellent indeed, and we had the best 
of order. The congregation seemed -41 
filled with the' Spirit of God. 
The sermons of each night and clay 
seemed to reach each heart and draw 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER �

God's people still nearer to him. 
Each Sabbath and Sunday dinners 
were brought and all staid, and at 
three o'clock we held services again. 
At half past seven much interest was 
Agmnifested. 
We closed our meetings 
at Willowbend Sunday night with a 
good interest and good attendance. 
At the close of the meeting I was 
tasked by different ones to continue 
another week. To-day myself and 
wife came to Peniel. We will begin 
our meeting here to-morrow night, 
October 15. At the close of this 
meeting I will write again.

GENERAL MEETINGS IN PA. 
ACCORDING to appointment Elder 
Shrock and the writer began the se-
ries of general meetings at K ulp in 
Columbia Co., Wednesday, October 8. 
The church membership there is small 
and they have had very little minis-
terial help, and Satan has tried hard 
to scatter the flock and destroy the in-
fluence of the third angel's message, 
but though trials and disappointments 
have come, God has not suffered his 
light to go out.

The Methodist people started a re- 
vival service the evening before our 
meeting began, and the outside at-
tendance was light. The study of 
the sanctuary and Christ's priestly 
work aroused all present to a more 
vivid realization of the responsibilities 
that rest upon God's people at this 
time. A general personal reconse-
cration was the result. Although not 
rich in this world's goods, the little 
company manifested a willing desire 
to have some part in the work of God. 
This manifested itself in subscriptions 
to the tent fund, " Object Lessons," 
Review and Herald, etc. 
We earnestly urge all our people 
throughout the State to plan to attend 
at least one of these general meetings. 
Let all take part in the meetings, and 
let every one have some part in the 
great work that God has committed to 
us in this generation. Thus only can 
our own light be kept burning with 
first-love zeal. Take our good period-
icals, especially the Review and 
GLEANER, and let every one take 
some part, even though it may be 
small, in the various lines of work that 
the Lord has indicated for us, and 
soon we shall hear the Well done, 
good and faithful servant," and sing 
the song of victory on the sea of glass. 
At this writing the meeting is in 
progress at Ariel, Wayne County.

MANHATTAN DISTRICT, NEW YORK 
CITY. 
THURSDAY evening, Oct. 16, 1902, 
the superintendent of Manhattan Dis-
trict, of the Greater New York Con-
ference, called a meeting of the mem-
bers of the different church boards 
and workers of the district to plan for 
work the coming winter. 
The meeting following so closely 
the annual conference, it was impos-
sible to give sufficient thought to the 
matter to have any well-matured plans 
in mind, but a number of suggestions 
were offered, which, if carried out, 
will, with the help of the Lord, result 
in doing much good in New York 
City this winter. 
The encouraging features of the 
meeting were that each church was 
well represented, and that each 
one recognized the necessity of work-
ing, and was willing to put forth per-
sonal effort for the advancement of 
the truth at the present time. 
No. 1 Church has the use of the 
church building on East One Hundred 
and Twelfth Street, Monday and 
Thursday nights, and the members of 
this church were very solicitous that 
public meetings be held theie these 
two evenings. 
No. 2 Church thought best to 
throw their strength to assist in the 
effort at Carnegie Lyceum. Elder 
E. E. Franke will open his series of 
meetings in this popular hall Sunday 
night, October 26, to continue every 
Sunday for the remainder of the 
winter. 
At the end of this month Church 
No. 3 will be without a church home. 
An effort is being made to secure a 
suitable hall, and until they are finally 
located it will be impossible to plan 
definitely for the future. 
The work among the colored peo-
ple is to be broadened. At the pres-
ent time there are at least two 
independent companies o f colored 
Sabbath-keepers in the city, who, 
until recently, were unknown to Ad-
ventists ; but an effort is to be made 
to bring them into a full knowledge 
of the truth. The members of the 
colored church are selling sufficient 
Signs and tracts each week to pay the 
rent of their hall.

BOSTON FIELD. 
FRIDAY evening, the 10th inst., and 
Sabbath morning, the 11th inst., in 
company with Elder M. I). Mattson 
were spent at the New England Sani-
tarium. In reaching there we pass 
along a pleasant driveway through a 
park that is densely covered with 
woods. The first thing to welcome 
our sight as we ascended the little 
rise of ground in coming up out of 
452 iS) 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
the grove is a beautiful lake which is 
one of the city reservoirs. It pre-
sented a most magnificent view that 
Sabbath evening, for the sun had just 
set, leaving the western sky tinted 
with red that reflected back into the 
lake a golden hue which might cause 
one to think of the sea of glass. It 
seems that everything in nature about 
the institution conspires to make this 
location an ideal one for a Sanitarium 
like this. �
Especially is this true, in 
view of the fact that the minds of 
those who come for treatment are im-
pressed with the thought of God in 
nature and the one who " healeth all 
our diseases." 
It was gratifying, as the time for 
vespers and for the other services 
arrived, to see such a large proportion 
of both patients and workers assemble 
for the worship of the Lord, and also 
to observe the interest manifested in 
the truths that were spoken. 
The Christian influence that those 
in charge propose to maintain will 
certainly prove to be the greatest fac-
tor in making this institution a grand 
success. 
In the afternoon, Sabbath, the 11th 
inst., Dr. Ball and wife, with several 
of the workers from the Sanitarium, 
accompanied me to our place of wor-
ship in Boston. There was a good 
attendance present as we spoke to 
them concerning the importance of 
all who have received the third angel's 
message in their hearts, going forth 
with faith and fired with a heavenly 
zeal to herald the warning notes of 
this last message of mercy to the 
hungering people that are found in 
every walk of life. The special call 
to the New England Conference for 
the endowed bed fund, tent and 
camp-meeting fund, one-thousand-dol-
lar fund, fund to be appropriated, and 
the general fund to the Atlantic Union 
Conference were presented before the 
church and the pledges distributed. 
A good spirit pervaded the meeting 
and we believe that there will be a 
liberal response. 
Arrangements have been made to 
conduct a gospel temperance service 
Sunday at 3 P.M., in the mission at 
105 Staniford Street, near North Sta-
tion. We expect that the Boston 
church and the Sanitarium workers 
will unite in making this work a suc-
cess; for we believe that it is a provi-
dential opening, and that much good 
may be accomplished. 
We are also planning to make a 
special effort with the Signs of the 
Times in this city. We believe that 
Boston will be no exception to other 
cities where this work of selling the 
Signs has proved a success.

ANNUAL SESSION OF THE NEW 
ENGLAND CONFERENCE. 
( Continued.) 
Tim third meeting of the Confer-
ence was held October 2, at 9:30 A.M. 
Prayer was offered by Elder A. H. 
Clark. Minutes of the previous 
meeting were read and approved. 
Seven new delegates took their seats, 
and others came in later. 
Mrs. Ella M. Wilber gave an inter-
esting account of the progressing 
work at Keene, also of the valuable 
experiences of some of those who 
had embraced the truth. 
The chairman made a few stirring 
remarks concerning the relation we 
should sustain to the work, stating 
that laborers should plead with God 
for souls, and should feel the respon-
sibility of giving the message to the 
people, and that we must come to a 
higher platform, stating also that the 
field is the world, and we should re-
spond to the calls that come from the 
foreign lands. He spoke of the usual 
plan of paying the principal in the 
Academy, and at this point it was 
moved by Elder E. E. Miles, and sec-
onded by W. L. Payne, that we pay 
the salary of the principal at the 
Academy the present school year. 
This was carried unanimously. 
Among the lines of work which 
should be pushed the coming year 
the president named the following : 
The completion of the sale of " Ob-
ject Lessons," raising the balance due 
on the Material Fund, increasing the 
canvassing work,and holding Sabbath-
school conventions in different parts* 
of the Conference. He spoke of the 
tent and camp-meeting fund, said that 
we should have the funds ready for 
next year's camp-meeting, and 
gested that we purchase twenty or 
twenty-five tents every year till we 
have a sufficient number to carry on 
our camp-meeting. 
Brother W. L. Payne said that if 
the Conference would purchase 
twenty-five or fifty tents he would fur- 
nish pins for the same. �
Donations 
and pledges were taken to the amount 
of $117 ; and in addition to this a 
donation of three tents was made to 
the Conference. 
It was moved by W. L. Payne, and 
seconded by A. H. Clark, that we 
purchase forty tents to be ready for 
next season's use. This motion was 
carried unanimously. 
The Committee on the Revision of 
the Constitution presented its report. 
Moved by E. E. Miles, and seconded 4, 
by G. B. Wheeler, that the report be 
adopted. 
Meeting then adjourned till 2 : 30 
P.M. 
The fourth meeting of the Confer-
ence was held at the church October 
2, at 2: 30 P.M., and was opened with 
singing. Prayer was offered by Elder 
J. W. Watt. The minutes of the 
previous meeting were read and ap-
proved. 
The motion which was pending at 
the last meeting concerning the adop-
tion of the Constitution and By-Laws 
as recommended by the committee 
appointed to revise the same was con-
sidered, and after a few questions and 
explanations it was adopted by unani-
mous vote. 
Moved by Elder G. B. Wheeler, 
supported by Brother W. A. Wilber, 
that five hundred copies of the Con-
stitution and By-Laws, as revised, be 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER �
(9) 453 
printed for circulation among the 
churches. Carried. 
The Committee on Resolutions then 
presented a partial report as follows : 
" 1. Whereas, The Lord has blessed 
the work of this Conference during 
the past year in the sale of Christ's 
Object Lessons ;' and, 
" Whereas, T h e Testimonies ' 
have said concerning this book that 
` the field is never exhausted, and this 
book should be sold for the help of 
our schools for years to come ;' 
therefore, 
" (a) We would give thanks to the 
Lord for the success that has attended 
this work, and for the willing spirit 
He has given the people to engage in 
this effort ; and 
" (b) We would recommend that 
those of our brethren and sisters who 
have promised to dispose of a certain 
number of copies to make up the 
quota apportioned to us as a Confer-
ence, and have not yet paid for the 
same, double their diligence in ac-
complishing this work; and 
" (c) We would further recommend 
that continued, earnest, steady, perse-
vering efforts be put forth to place 
this precious book in the homes of the 
people. 
" 2. Whereas, We, as a Conference, 
are behind in the matter of raising 
our proportion of the fund for paying 
for the material used in making 
Christ's Object Lessons,' and for the 
expenses of the general workers on 
this book and fund ; therefore, 
" Resolved, That we, as a Confer-
ence, contribute our portion of this 
fund for said book, and that the 
amount of our apportionment be raised 
as soon as possible. 
" 3. We would recommend that a 
series of general meetings be held 
among the churches of this Confer-
ence, during the early part of this 
fall and winter, under the supervision 
of the Conference Committee, said 
meetings to last from three to four 
days each, according to the judgment 
of those in charge. These meetings 
should embrace the various features 
of our work, and the spiritual uplift-
ing of the people. 
" 4. 
Whereas, The Spirit of the 
Lord has said that great good can and 
should be accomplished by our camp-
meetings ; therefore, 
" Resolved, That we hold a camp-
meeting for this Conference in the 
early part of the summer of 1903, the 
definite time and place for said meet-
ing to be decided by the Conference 
Committee. 
" 5. We recommend that our peo-
ple take up the envelope, or free cir-
culating library, plan of supplying 
their neighbors with our smaller pub-
lications.

" E. E. MILES, 
" F. M. DICKERSON, 
" H. B. TUCKER, 
" H. C. WILCOX, 
" F. C. GILBERT, 
" Committee." 
Resolutions numbers one and two 
were spoken to by Elders Cottrell, 
Miles,Gilbert and others. The thought 
was emphasized by these brethren 
that the work of selling " Christ's Ob-
ject Lessons " and the raising of the 
balance of the Material Fund should 
be pushed to completion in a short 
time. This also seemed to be the 
voice of the delegates. Seventy-one 
dollars, fourteen of which was paid 
in cash, was pledged for the Material 
Fund, and the resolutions w ere 
adopted. 
It was thought that much good 
would be accomplished by the hold-
ing of a series of general meetings 
among the churches in the Confer-
ence as recommended by Resolution 
No. 3, as many in the Conference are 
not able to attend a general camp-
meeting or a meeting like this, and 
thus could be benefited by these local 
meetings. This resolution was 
adopted. 
Resolution number four which rec-
ommended the holding of a camp- 
meeting in the early part of the sum-
mer of 1903, was adopted, it being 
the sense of the Conference that the 
necessary funds be raised for this pur-
pose before the time of the meeting. 
Meeting then adjourned to Friday, 
October 3, 9 : 30 A.M. 
The fifth meeting of the Confer-
ence held October 3, at 9 : 30 A.M., 
was opened by prayer offered by Elder 
E. E. Miles. The minutes of the 
fourth meeting were then read and 
approved. 
The fifth resolution was spoken to 
by Elders E. E. Miles, G. B. Wheeler, 
and H. W. Cottrell, all being heartily 
in favor of this manner of circulating 
the present truth in the printed page. 
Elder Haskell made a few remarks 
in which he said that we should scat-
ter the printed page everywhere, and 
the Bible Training School should be 
scattered with the tracts. In certain 
places some have already begun to 
give Bible readings from it. The chil-
dren should be encouraged to help 
along this line of missionary work in 
every instance possible, as others will 
be affected in proportion to the zeal 
we manifest as a people. 
Elder Watt told of one man who 
took half a day each week in circu-
lating these envelopes, and soon had 
seventeen families interested in the 
truth. Brother G. R. Ruggles also 
stated he believed that much would 
be done in giving the loud cry of the 
third angel's message by the children. 
This resolution was then adopted. 
The Committee on Nominations 
presented their report as follows : 
" For President, Elder A. E. Place ; 
Recording Secretary and Treasurer, 
H. B. Tucker ; Secretary of Mission-
ary Department, Elder E. E. Miles ; 
Secretary of Sabbath-school Depart-
ment, Mrs. Viola Gustin ; General

It was moved and seconded that 
the report be adopted by considering 
each name separately, action was 
taken and the nominees were elected 
to their respective offices. 
Voted, That Brother H. C. Wilcox 
be elected as a delegate to the Gen-
eral Conference with the understand-
ing that he attend unless it be decided 
by the Conference Committee that 
the distance is too great to warrant 
the expense. 
Meeting adjourned till 2: 30 P.M. 
The sixth meeting of the Confer-
ence, which was held at 2 : 30, Octo-
ber 3, was opened by singing and 
prayer which was offered by Elder 
G. B. Wheeler. The minutes of the 
previous meeting were omitted. 
The Committee on Resolutions pre-
sented a further report as follows : 
" 6. 
Whereas, At a council of the 
General Conference Committee, held 
at Battle Creek, Mich., on Oct. 20. 
1901, it was recommended that a uni-
form system of church accounting be 
employed by church treasurers ; and, 
" Whereas, The form of the finan-
cial church record book, designed and 
recommended by said committee is 
hereby approved ; therefore, 
" Resolved, That we employ the 
form of accounting. entitled Finan-
cial Church Record' for future use in 
the churches of this Conference. 
" 7. 
Whereas, The Lord has spoken 
definitely concerning the work of the 
Review, the Signs of the Times, and 
the Sentinel, for which the providence 
of God• has brought them into being ; 
" We would therefore recommend 
that our people be encouraged to 
take these papers for their own spe-
cial benefit, as well as to do mission- 
friends and neighbors ; and 
We would further recommend that 
special efforts be made to have the 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER placed in 
the homes of our people. 
" H. fiThereas, Our presses are run-
ning on commercial work ; and 
Whereas, Millions in our Confer-
ence have not yet been supplied with 
the truth in printed form ; therefore, 
Resolved, That we as officers, min-
isters, and people should awake to our 
duty as sensible business men and as 
Christians in doing our part to utilize 
to the full the facilities ordained of 
God to give the message to the world 
in this last generation. 
" 9. We would recommend that the 
plan suggested by the President in 
his address, namely, that a systematic 
plan of giving be followed, and that 
slips be distributed monthly by our 
church elders and leaders of compa-
nies for the purpose of raising means 
for our local work, be adopted in this 
Conference. 
" 10. Resolved, That Sabbath-school 
conventions be held throughout the 
Conference, the work to begin at an 
early date, and that when general 
meetings are held, at least one clay be 
devoted to the Sabbath-school work. 
"11. We would recommend that 
our churches be instructed to pay 
their tithes to the church treasurer 
once a month, and the tithe treasurer 
forward the same as frequently to the 
treasurer of the Conference. 
" 12. We recommend that we rec-
ognize the dignity and importance of 
the work of our canvassing mission-
ary evangelists who have demon-
strated their efficiency and devotion 
to the work, by issuing to them suita-
ble credentials." 
After some questions and explana-
tions regarding the manner in which 
the record should be kept in this book 
resolution number six was adopted. 
The seventh resolution Was spoken 
to by Elders Cottrell, Gilbert, G. B. 
Wheeler and E. E. Miles, stating that 
an effort should be made to place 
these periodicals in every home, and a 
fund should be raised in order that 
these papers may be placed in homes 
that are unable to purchase them. El-
der Wheeler stated that we were living 
in a solemn and serious time, and that 
if we wished to work we must work 
now. The subscriptions taken were, 
for Review and Herald, two ; Senti-
nel, one ; GLEANER and I1/4 Boat, one; 
GLEANER and Good Health, three. 
The resolution was unanimously 
adopted. 
The eighth resolution was spoken 
to by Elder E. E. Miles, to the end 
that our publishing establishments 
should be used to their fullest extent, 
in printing our denominational lit-
erature. Elder Gilbert also spoke on 
the same line. 
As it was nearly sundown the meet- 
ing adjourned till Sunday, at 9 : 30 A.M.

VERMONT. 
ON my way home from the New 
England Conference I stopped at 
Taftsville. The church school at 
that place is doing nicely, there are 
sixteen students, and a prospect of 
more. 
On Sunday afternoon, October 12, 
they held the ingathering harvest 
service which was very interesting. 
The children seemed to enjoy the 
work. Many valuable lessons that 
have been learned by the study of 
nature were related by different ones 
present. The great harvest time of 
the world will soon be here. 
The brethren a t Rutland have 
started a church school, using the 
basement of the church for a school-
room. 
The brethren at North Wolcott are 
planning for a church school at that 
place in the near future. 
-• 
We praise the Lord to see our 
brethren waking up to the importance 
of different lines of the work. This 
is at it should be.

SABBATH-SCHOOL : READING CIRCLE 
YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORK 
BRANCH SABBATH-SCHOOLS. 
How often we hear young people 
express a desire to " go some where 
and do missionary work," forgetting 
the fact that the missionary work 
which they can best do is right where 
they are. The planning of active mis-
sionary work in the home, in the 
neighborhood, in the town or city 
where they live is the first work to be 
considered by all who desire to become 
missionaries. The Spirit of the Lord 
has pointed out an opportunity which 
many are passing by : " There is a 
most precious missionary field in the 
Sabbath-school." By the organization 
of " branch " schools, thus spreading 
the truth to other homes, it has been 
* proved that the Sabbath-school work 
need not be confined to the members 
of our own church. Branch Sabbath-
school work is ideal work for young 
1- people. These schools are held for 
the children of those not of our faith, 
and can be conducted wherever a few 
children can be brought together. In 
one city one hundred and forty chil-
dren were brought into various branch 
schools which were conducted almost 
wholly by young people of our church. 
The results of this work were most 
satisfactory. 
Busy mothers have gathered the 
children of the neighborhood into their 
* homes on Sabbath afternoons, and 
taught them the Sabbath-school les-
sons. The following from a sister 
who began the work with but few chil-
dren will reveal the possibilities in 
this direction. " Our branch Sab-
bath-school has gone far beyond any-
thing we had looked for. Last Sab- 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
bath we had an attendance of forty_ 
two. I am having some blessed ex-
periences that give a deeper joy than 
anything the world can give. It means 
hard work, oh yes, for every Sabbath 
we have to go out and bring them in, 
but the Lord has richly rewarded our 
efforts. I am becoming acquainted 
with many of my neighbors whom I 
would probably not have met in any 
other way, and almost without excep-
tion they are warm friends. Some of 
the parents, men as well as women, 
say they are coming to our Sabbath-
school. Of course I am glad to ex-
tend to them a hearty welcome. The 
school is held at my home Sabbath af-
ternoon, at four o'clock." 
Does not that experience seem a 
complete fulfilment of the words : 
" Parents who can be approached in 
no other way are frequently reached 
through their children. Sabbath-school 
teachers can instruct the children in 
the truth, and they will in turn take 
it into the home circle " ? Are there 
not many who wish to do missionary 
work who will try this plan ? There 
are two young ladies in different loca-
tions in the South, who are all alone 
in the truth, and they each have a 
fine school. The attendance of each 
averages fifteen children. �
What a 
wonderful factor in spreading the 
truth this branch Sabbath-school work 
might be, if it were taken up by every 
church, and as far as possible in every 
home. These little schools would be-
come centers of light reflecting truth 
to all who come within its influence. 
The light from such schools would 
form no small part of that great light 
which fills the whole earth with its 
glory. 
The experience gained by the work-
ers is of incalculable value. One of 
our ministers who became interested 
in the work in his home school says : 
" Nearly all the members of our reg-
ular school have something to do in 
branch Sabbath-school work. Even 
the children seem to feel a responsi-
bility in bringing others to the 
(11) 455 
schools. I do not know of anything 
that we have taken hold of yet that 
has in it the possibility of developing 
workers that this work has." 
We all rejoice because of the suc-
cess of this work. It means the de-
velopment of workers, and the spread-
ing of the message.

MEDICAL 
MISSIONARY 
NEW ENGLAND SANITARIUM. 
AFTER being more or less broken 
up for several months, the work of 
the Sanitarium is rapidly assuming its 
normal state of regularity in its new 
quarters in Melrose. The buildings 
are now nicely fitted up, and bath 
rooms, and medical appliances are in-
stalled. On Thursday, October 9, 
the final transfer of patients was made 
from South Lancaster. The railroad 
company kindly furnished a special 
car for the occasion which was side-
tracked at South Lancaster, giving 
ample opportunity for preparing cots 
and other conveniences for those who 
needed them, and for loading baggage. 
The company consisted of twenty-
five passengers, twelve of whom were 
patients, the remainder being nurses 
and other workers. This car was 
carried through to Melrose, thus ob-
viating any change. The day was a 
most delightful one, and the trip was 
thoroughly enjoyed by the whole 
party, even by those who had not 
been out of their rooms for several 
months. Luncheon was served en 
route, and the journey was enlivened 
by gospel songs. Not a single mis-
hap occurred to spoil the pleasantness 
of the entire trip. The patients were 
all thoroughly delighted with their 
first glimpses of their new home, and 
the best of feeling seems to prevail 
since their arrival here. Although 
only twelve patients remained at South 
Lancaster to be transferred, a number 
were already at our new Sanitarium, 
456 (12) 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
and there has not been a day since 
the transfer that arrivals have not 
come in, so that our house is filling 
up with unexpected rapidity. All the 
rooms which had been fitted up are 
occupied at present, and we are obliged 
to use a number of cottage rooms for 
guests. From correspondence and 
other indications there is a prospect 
of a splendid patronage here from the 
first. 
We have organized a Sabbath-
school which now numbers about forty 
members, and services are held Fri-
day nights and Sabbath. These have 
been well attended not only by the 
family, but by the guests as well, who 
are practically cut off from other op-
portunities for religious services. El-
der Mattson has spent two Sabbaths 
with us. Elder Place was with us 
one Sabbath, and Elder Russell con-
ducted services last Friday night and 
Sabbath. We have appreciated very 
highly indeed the good instruction 
and help which all of these brethren 
have rendered, and we hope that we 
may be favored many times with their 
help. Every one seems of good cour-
age and we are determined by the 
help of the Lord to make the Sanita-
rium a new center of light and bless-
ing to the people around us. 
We hope we may have the prayers 
of all the readers of the GLEANER for 
the success of the Sanitarium work in 
New England, especially at this im- 
portant crisis. �

THE CALL IS SOUNDING. 
LET this work go forward steadily, 
perseveringly, grandly until the last 
dollar of indebtedness is paid on all 
bour schools and a fund is created for 
the establishment of other schools in 
places where educational work is much 
needed." �
Testimony. 
The work with " Christ's Object 
Lessons " was inaugurated not for a 
season or a time, but to be continued 
without cessation until certain definite 
results are reached that have not yet 
been attained. Some have wrought 
nobly and are still at work ; some 
have slacked their efforts, and some, 
as yet, have done nothing at all. 
Just now the call to action is being 
renewed ; we see it in the Review and 
Herald and in the GLEANER and in 
letters from our brethren in responsi-
ble positions,—men whom God has 
chosen to lead out in this movement. 
Is it not for us �
all of us—to take 
hold together for a strong effort im-
mediately while the call is sounding 
and while we have the advantage of 
the fall and holiday demand for books 
of this nature ? 
Have you already sold hundreds, 
scores or dozens 'of these books ? 
Then you know that, with the same 
devotion and earnestness, your suc-
cess is assured for this fall's cam-
paign. Have you tried and failed 
(we know of no one who has failed), 
then try again ; do not be defeated in 
this noble warfare, but pray and study 
and work until you get the victory. 
Have you held back, or in any way 
failed to act your part? Remember 
the Testimony says, " every member 
in every family in every church," and 
bear in mind that all God's biddings 
are enablings." He bids us do, and 
gives the power to perform. 
United, concerted action in this 
matter is what God desires, and to 
i* the end, not only that the books be 
sold and the debts paid, but that his 
people be trained to service in mis-
sionary work, and become an orderly. 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
well-disciplined body, ready to respond 
as one man whenever a special on-
ward move is to be made. 
This work with Object Lessons " 
should be gotten out of the way as 
quickly as possible, to make room for 
other things that should riot be de-
layed. How long will it be before 
every conference within our Union 
shall have disposed of her quota ? 
Now shall we not, in view of all that 
is involved, severally and collectively 
take hold of this work just now, and 
push it to a speedy finish ? Can any 
of us afford to be left out, or be con-
tent to lose the experience and bless-
ing that may be ours ? Can we rest 
satisfied while others work, and while 
this great enterprise is half languish-
ing for want of a full and complete 
cooperation on the part of all who 
have been called to this work ? " Ev-
ery member in every family in every 
church " must be the watchword until 
all have done their duty. 
If any feel that they need instruc-
tion or help in any way, let them call 
upon their conference officials for as-
sistance, and it will doubtless be 
given; but do not delay your efforts 
in the field. Go to work and God 
will work with you, as he has worked 
and is working with others to-day. 
Success will attend your efforts and 
you will have the satisfaction of 
knowing that you have done what you 
could. 
Sincerely, cordially, earnestly,

PENNSYLVANIA CANVASSERS' ITEMS. 
SISTER KIRKER, of Greensburg, 
sends her report, and says : " I am 
not discouraged over my work, but 
rather pleased with the result. I am 
so thankful to the Lord, for he has 
restored me to health again, and I am 
out now doing my best." 
Brother Heckman writes : I have 
had excellent success in my delivery 
thus far, only losing one Christ 
(13) 457 
Our Saviour' and having one post 
poned. I still have $77.75 worth to 
deliver." His leading book is " De-
sire of ' Ages." 
Brother T. 0. Saxton is demonstrat-
ing that books can be sold in Indiana 
Co. In three days he sold $34.25 
worth of books, principally �
Daniel 
and the Revelation." 
W. F. Landis has recovered from 
his attack of typhoid fever, and is 
once more able to be up and help 
himself a little, as a letter just at 
hand written by himself testifies. He 
is gaining strength rapidly, and we 
hope to soon see his name once more 
enrolled among our faithful band of 
canvassers. 
In one day last week W. C. 
Fleischer sold four " Great Contro-
versy," eight " Corning King," three 
" House We Live In," and twelve 
" Gospel Primer." The total value 
is $22.50. �
This is an instance of 
how God is blessing the efforts of our 
faithful canvassers, and should en-
courage others to take hold of the 
work. His promises of help and 
blessing in his work are for all. 
Brother W. K. A chenbach writes : 
Last winter, while working in the 
carriage shop, I was not satisfied. 
Something kept telling me, this is 
not the work for you.' I prayed over 
the matter, and the Lord revealed to 
me what I should do, so I am at work 
for the Master. I know the Lord is 
with me day by day, and the holy 
angels are by my side, and I enjoy 
the work as never before. I meet so 
many with whom the Holy Spirit is 
working. They seem so hungry for 
the truth." 
While canvassing in Derry, West-
moreland Co., for " Heralds of the

license for which a fee of two dollars 
per day was charged ; but a proper

BOOK WORK. 
FROM now till the holidays is the 
most favorable time of all the year to 
sell books, and several scores of faith-
ful, God-fearing, evangelistic, canvass-
ing missionaries should be in the field 
selling our good books. The Spirit 
of God has declared that such can-
vassers occupy a position equal to 
that of the gospel minister. Many 
have felt impressed to enter the work, 
but have been resisting the call of the 
Lord. Will the Lord say " Well 
done" to those who fail to respond to 
the pleading of his Holy Spirit ? 
Books can be sold. Notice the re-
port of a brother in the canvassers' 
report this week. Many others can 
do equally well. �
Are there not a 
score or more• who will devote the 
time from now till the holidays in 
faithful work in the field with our 
books? 
When I say " faithful work," I mean 
those who will put in at least five 
days per week, and from six to ten 
hours per day. It makes my heart 
ache at times to look over the can-
vassing report, and see one or two 
days per week, and one or two hours 
a day reported. And in a little while 
the worker sends in a report that he 
can not make a living canvassing, 
and must seek some secular employ-
ment. Of course they can't make a 
living, and what secular work is there 
in which we can engage an hour or 
two a day, and a day or two a week 
and make a living ? When we are 
willing to work for God as many 
hours a day and as many days in the 
week as men work for some con-
tractor, we will see success attend our 
efforts in the canvassing work. Does 
anybody know of an individual who 
has ever failed in the canvassing 
work who put in good time, working 
faithfully every week ? I believe there 
has been no such failure. Can we 
not have some faithful work done in 
the remaining weeks of 1902 ? Who 
will respond ?-- G. B. Thompson, in 
.Arew York Indicator. 
THE SENTINEL OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTY. 
I woven like to call the attention of 
the readers of the GLEANER to the 
Sentinel of Christian Liberty, the able 
advocate of the great principles of lib-
erty and equal rights, upon which 
our government was founded. It has 
a message of the greatest importance 
to the world, because it is a message 
of warning against a great movement 
which is carrying our country back to 
the principles of intolerance and des-
potism, or as it is called in the Scrip-
tures, giving life to the image of the 
beast. The rapid advance of this great 
movement at the present time is of 
such a startling character that every 
Seventh-day Adventist ought to keep 
informed so as to know where we stand, 
and for that reason ought to be a con-
stant reader of the Sentinel. Subscrip-
tions for the Sentinel will be taken to 
begin with the November number and 
continue to 1904. This will be four-
teen months for one year's subscrip-
tion. It has been proposed to have a 
stated time set apart for the churches 
in the New England Conference to 
make a special effort to increase the 
circulation of the Sentinel. 
We trust 
the churches in the conference will 
cooperate in this effort, so that it will 
be a success and that many more of 
our people will become better informed 
with reference to one of the greatest 
and most startling movements of the 
day.

that Elder H. W. Cottrell and Professor 
Griggs of South Lancaster, Mass., and the 
entire Pennsylvania Conference Committee 
(15) 459 
will be present throughout the meeting. 
This will be the semiannual meeting of the 
conference committee, and the work in the 
conference for the next six months will be 
largely planned at this meeting. We hope 
to see a large representation of our people 
in that part of the State at this meeting. 
These meetings will all begin on Wednes-
day evening, and continue with three serv-
ices each day till Sunday night. 
Friday, during the day, the time will be 
devoted to the study of the Sabbath-school 
work and our duty to the young. The 
object of these meetings is to attain better 
service for God. �
Oar only object and 
watchword should be—Living to save sonic. 
Sister Lee will arrange for special subjects 
and for the meetings on Friday. Brother 
Painter will also arrange for work along the 
lines of work given to him. He will attend 
such meetings as he may deem best. We 
hope Sister Lee will be able to attend sev-
eral meetings. We also trust that Dr. A. 
J. Read of Philadelphia will attend as many 
meetings as his work will permit. 
We trust that these meetings will be at-
tended with the power of the whole gospel 
in its fulness. To this end let all pray and 
seek God, and let none stay away. 
In behalf of the committee, 
R. A. UNnEawooD. 
6e QUESTION 
of COOKING 
is settled by the ROTARY 
STEAM COOKER. It 
economizes fuel-one burner 
will cook a number of differ-
ent kinds of food at once. It 
economizes space. It retains 
the nutrition of the food by 
_cooking it thoroughly 
by steam heat, and 
thus avoiding the 
burning, stirring 
up, and evaporat-
ing process of bolt-
ing. It is unlike 
other steam cook-
ers, as the val ions 
dishes are easily 
accessible without separating parts of the cooker. Notice 
accompanying cut. Write for leaflet, "Cooking for Health:.

THE Camden, N. J., church holds 
its meetings in Wildey Hall, corner 
Fifth and Pine Streets. The Sabbath-
school is at 10 A.M., and preaching at 
11 :15 A.M. 
THE church school at Lincklaen 
Center, N. Y., taught by Miss _Ethel 
M. Harris, had nine members at last 
report, with a prospect of more after 
harvest. 
THE church school at Minetto, N. 
Y., taught by Miss Bessie Jackson, 
has fourteen members, four of whom 
are "from homes whose parents are 
not Adventists." 
THE manuscript of " New England 
Sanitarium " was intended for last 
week's paper, but did not arrive in 
season for that number. It will be 
none the less interesting to the friends 
of the Sanitarium on account of the 
delay. 
THE evidence of Christ's coming 
being near, which our country has 
witnessed in the recent coal strike, 
ought to arouse every lover of this ap-
pearing to increased activity in his 
efforts to bring the truths for this 
time to the notice of all the unenlight-
ened while there is yet opportunity to 
work. 
The time is short, the harvest great."

THE Sentinel of Christian Liberty 
will be sent to new subscribers during 
1903 for one dollar, with November 
and December of 1902 thrown in. 
A systematic canvass should be insti-
tuted and vigorously pushed in every 
church in the Atlantic Union Confer-
ence. Elders of churches, conference 
officers and workers, all, send to the 
office of this magazine, 11 West 
Twentieth St., New York City, and 
get sample copies (tell how many you 
want), blanks, etc., and set to work 
at once. 
Arrangements are being made by 
which sample copies will be sent to 
elders and ministers in the N. E. Con-
ference, and they are requested to 
appoint one or more to canvass (un-
less they can do the soliciting them-
selves) in each church as quickly as 
possible, completing the canvass on 
or before November first. This move-
ment has the approval of the New 
England Conference Committee and 
the conference laborers. They voted 
for it, and will assist in it. Let every 
member get ready to canvass or to 
be canvassed, and let the Sentinel be 
found in every Seventh-clay Adventist 
home, and many other homes during 
1903. A strong, thorough, simulta-
neous effort is what is designed in 
this and other movements that we 
have in mind for our people to execute.

NOTICE. 
THE general meeting for Coryville, 
Pa., November 5 to 9, will be held in 
the church, only a few steps from the 
depot with good sidewalk all the way. 
We have secured some vacant build-
ings where people can care for them-
selves if they come prepared. We 
will furnish stoves connected with gas, 
also straw for beds. Let every one 
come that possibly can. There will 
be stable room for horses, etc. Let 
all come with a desire to seek God for 
a fulness of his Spirit, that the power 
and the excellency of the power may 
be of God and not of us. Let us 
hope and pray for the success of the 
meeting.
